“Food was delicious and actually did taste fresh, as the namesake claims. I got the Loni (Roni?) roll and the power salad. Both were filling and well worth the price for the amount of food received. Will certainly put them on my UberEATS order rotation!“
“This is the sushi bar inside Whole Foods - which makes it super-convenient when I want to eat healthy AND get my daughter's birthday cake. The sushi is great and fresh, and they're always willing to make up something special for me if I ask. I've had the tuna bowl - which was a BARGAIN, and was almost more than I could eat. It was a great mix of edamame, rice, tuna, beautifully cut veggies and a spicy yum sauce. I've also had many, many of their rolls - always tasty and so convenient to take home. So if you ever hesitated about "grocery store sushi" (which you should do, definitely), just know that this is NOT your typical "grocery store sushi" - it's fresh made, just like your local sushi bar, except it's way more convenient.“
“Best sushi place, I’ve ever experienced. With out question. I expressed how much I enjoyed coming there and got a Free desert on the house.Dubai Roll add cucumber and tuna SashimiThe serving sizes are EXCELLENT, and the Sahimi was thick cuts. I HIGHLY RECOMMENDKid-friendliness: Offered a booster seat and kid friendly chop sticks and dessert with sprinkles my son(3yr) loved it“
“The service was so speedy! The kind man who welcomed us was nice and accommodating. We ordered, sat down, and had our food and drinks within 10 minutes. I ordered the chicken hibachi with clear soup and the salad. It was fantastic to have only been $14.“
“Mom and Pop! Great price! Friendly server. Chicken lunch entree was good, except veggies included only onions, zucchini, little chopped cabbage and 2-3 slices of mushroom. No carrots, no broccoli. Yum Yum sauce is delicious with a hint of horseradish. Dining room was long and narrow, but clean; however, just next to the grill so noisy. If you seek private conversation ask for a table in the back. *Order ginger dressing on the side of your salad, as there was far too much on mine.“
“We arrived about 8:40 and they close at 9:30. They were already dead and I thought they might have been closed actually. I picked this location because of the reviews, pictures, and menu. But, when we got there there were no hibachi grills and we almost left because of it. We did decide to stay and eat. We ordered two hibachi chicken meals with no vegetables and double rice and got a side order of hibachi noodles to split. The soup and salad came out first and the soup was very good but fairly different than most hibachi places, it tasted more beef based and had a little tang almost like spicy. The salad dressing was awful. When our food came out I instantly noticed the portions were smaller than most actual hibachi restaurants. The chicken was decent but didn’t have the texture of chicken when cooked on the hibachi grills and didn’t have nearly enough teriyaki on it. The rice was ok but had a weird smoky flavor. The noodles were actually really good. Service was kind of awful but I figure it’s because it was so late and it seems as though they get mostly to go orders later in the evening so they didn’t really wanna deal with a dine in customer ??♀️ it wasn’t the worst hibachi place I’ve been to but it was no where near the best. I probably wouldn’t come back unless we just absolutely can not find a real hibachi place around this side of town that tastes good too.“
“Probably the best kept secret of this area. Their sushi is always soo fresh, but don't skip out on the hot food. The salmon bowl and gyoza or crab rangoons is my go to order. Don't worry if you have picky eaters either, you'll be stealing the chicken nuggets & fries off their plate. They're THAT good!“
“I’ve been going to O’Sushi almost weekly for a couple years and never took the time to leave a review until now. If you love raw tuna rolls and yum yum sauce, theirs is personally my favorite and the best of all the other sushi restaurants around Hoover. I order the same dishes frequently (Roll Tide Roll and the Fantasy Island) and each time I go they present the dish beautifully, and a little differently each time. Today I got the Fantasy Island and the Sushi Chef presented it in the shape of what looks like a crab haha (At least that’s what I saw). They are kind of tucked away so they were one of the last sushi places I tried since moving to Birmingham and it’s a shame. Don’t let the small outside presence fool you, their quality is above par in comparison to the other sushi restaurants around the area! Also pictured below is the Roll Tide Roll ??“
“I pulled a non-Karen today and asked for the manager. I explained to her how amazed I was at their food and how utterly fantastic it is. I ordered an unagi poke bowl and a salmon Maki roll via GrubHub, then I went there in person and ordered the unagidon and salmon roll, and today I ordered the steak teppanyaki, salad, seaweed salad (OMG - seriously? BEST I'VE EVER HAD), and got the tonkotsu ramen with menma. She remembered me from my order today and when I was there last week. Let's talk about the salmon roll - absolutely fresh and filled with thick pieces of salmon and perfectly cooked sushi rice. The rice was a compliment rather than the main to the roll. The steak? Chef's kiss. perfectly seasoned and tender with amazing veggies. Serving size? Goodness, well deserved of the price. The seaweed salad? OMG. usually, I'll get a teensy bit for the same price. Here, you get a good chunk of it but it's served over romaine lettuce with chopped cucumbers. It's definitely a true salad. Now, let's talk about the tonkotsu. The chasu pork is seared perfectly and absolutely delectable. It's also served with green onions, an excellent half of a shoyu egg, and I added menma (bamboo shoots). The broth is excellent and you can tell it has been carefully taken care of (a tad garlicky, but that's fine with me), silky, and says "I'm your comfort food" over and over again. Lastly, the service shows how much they care about their food and their customers. Like I said, I pulled a Non-Karen and spoke to the manager and sang praises for their food and service. I now have my favorite Japanese spot now that I'm back in Birmingham. PS. their unagidon is on fire! Yum!“
“I liked Hibachi before new management and I still like them...a Lot. The food is really tasty and my son craves the egg rolls. They are the BEST. Not too fat and not too little. The only new item I was not impressed with was the chicken sticks. They were little tiny strips of meat and not breaded. My favorite are the egg rolls, crab rangoon, and the dumplings (fried). I really like the Teriyaki bowls and Asian bowls. I did not give 5 overall stars because of the prices. Some items are restaurant prices, especially the egg rolls...at almost $3 a piece, that adds up quick. But, I usually splurge on payday since sons and I like theirs more than anybody.“
“Absolutely the greatest food in Birmingham!!!!! A must amount must!!!!! It taste it looks like there's no way something this complex would make sense. And it never will. They pulled off greatness from what literally seems like they threw darts at a globe and made the menu. Absolutely my favorite spot will always comeback again!!!!!“

“Update-Thank you Treasha for reaching and looking into this. 3/25/24.My coworkers and I order takeout which two of my coworkers were able to order online. For some reason my order wouldn’t go through online so we called it in. The food was good but my problem is the person who rung up the order decided to add themselves a tip which I wasn’t aware until it posted on my account. I was also charged a takeout fee which my coworkers weren’t charged. Never again will I order from this location.“
“This is hands down the best service me and my fiancé have received in a long time. Our food was prepared so fast that we had barely started in on our crab angels. Heather did an amazing job and was a great waitress. Complete props to everyone working here, you should all be proud of such a great experience.“

“While Mizu is popular for their Japanese tableside cooking, most people don't realize that their sushi is fantastic as well! The service is quick and attentive and it's a nice quiet atmosphere. Take out is efficient (I order online before I drive there), and the food is always good!“
“Absolutely incredible. Such a wonderful experience and delicious food.Posting pictures that give do no justice to the flavor and appearance of the food.The food coupled with the service make this place a no brainer when wanting sushi and unique food options with an Asian flare.Vegetarian options: Pescatarian and vegetarian options abound.“
“We tried their ramen here for lunch and both of our ramens were so good! Our waitress was attentive. The food came out quickly as well as the check at the end. The ramen was $15 per soup and it was well worth it. We might be back for dinner :“
“This is a great Japanese restaurant on Hwy 280. The service is some of the best in town and everything we’ve tried on the menu has been delish!! Tonight we visited after not eating here for months and they remembered our order, our preferences, even our favorite table. We had the filet mignon and shrimp with mixed vegetables, noodles, and fried rice. The meal came with a salad with ginger dressing and a bowl of miso soup and we added an order or edamame. Perfect meal, attentive service, and reasonably priced!Kid-friendliness: Kids love this place and especially for birthdays! They have a big gong they ring and they sing and serve the birthday visitor a sparkler in a dessert.“
“Went here tonight with a couple friends and the food and service was terrible. Our waiter was very rude after we mentioned our food tasting funny.. the waiters comment was “have y’all ever eaten here before” Very disappointed to only be told sorry and charged $25 for my food that only a bite was ate. Very disappointed to say the least.“

“Just tried Ryu out with my boss. We were both so impressed! The sushi chef and server could literally not have been friendlier. I loved that they both seemed to really love being there which is so great for your dining experience. The menu was extensive with a lot of both the classic rolls you expect as well as some fun new and interesting rolls.“
“I go here almost everyday love their food !! I would highly highly recommend! Especially if you’re on a protein veggie diet the perfect place it’s like meal prepping without you having to meal prep ! I actually lost weight eating here .“
“I had a very disappointing experience. I had an online order. That I went to go pick up and it appeared that they did not have my order. So I asked the long-haired dark waitress to double check. And she was so rude and insisting that there's no way that I may. The order with them without even checking.She made me to the point of I did not want to come back.I've always received grexperience when I come here but this little girl had a snotty attitude that was unwarranted. She Should be more like her co-worker.The long blonde haired waitress who is very polite nice“
“This hidden gem nestled away in Mountain Brook hit every check on the list. The atmosphere, service, drinks and food is unmatched. Abhi has the best sushi and MoMo's in the city....no the State! I can't wait to try their other dishes, they smelled amazing coming out! I will definitely be back!“
