I ordered a simple sizzling rice soup, broth was super bland, shrimp had a sour taste, and the chicken had an off putting texture. This soup needs work, very disappointing.

Love their Philly roll and spiny tuna roll. The walnut shrimp is a fav of mine and others. Large portions and consistent. I like that they use their system to see what you ordered in the past. Been coming here for a couple years and they have been friendly every time. Order is usually ready within 10min-20max. I try other places and always wish I just ordered from here. Recently saw a sign that they are under new ownership. Still same food and same service.

If look on the menu on Google the prices are low but when you order its a lot more expensive...I purshased shrimp chow mein it was $14 and the menu read $8.45 that is almost double...if it wasn't for my friend wanting to go there I would not have gone

Food is always amazing there, first and foremost.After hearing the white staff do fake Asian accents, I don’t know if I would go back. I work for a Chinese immigrant family myself, and I would never disrespect my boss like that. I get having inside jokes with your coworkers, but why even think to do that. Do a New York accent or a British accent instead if you are feeling silly.I wish you could tip just the cooks because I feel awful thinking that my tip might encourage those staff members to keep acting that way.

always been great service and amazing food but tonight was an experience I'd never encountered food amazing as always but service was far below my normal experience. main reason being I was charged an automatic gratuity because of a large party that I understand what I don't understand is the audacity to charge me a automatic gratuity and still charge me for a second drink after I didn't receive my meal till I asked for it 3 times after everyone else had already ate. mind you 5 people showed up after everyone else but my cousin and I got to watch everyone else eat l. will never lie food is always awesome cant blame chefs, or the guys at sushi bar today was just horrible service

This is my favorite sushi place hands down. They serve the largest portions and have the best selection. My favorite item is the Mission Impossible roll, the sushi chef creates his own masterpiece.My kids love the Chinese food there as well.Kid-friendliness: My kids love the chow mein and orange chicken.

I've only been to this restaurant once because I don't live in Chico but I found this on Yelp and was very pleasantly. Surprised that the food was good, and the service was very excellent, my son asked for a Pepsi. Even though they don't serve Pepsi, the waitress offered to go across the street and buy him one from the convenience store. You couldn't get better service than that

We loved it! Our order got messed up, we called them they quickly remedied the situation, let us keep the 2 dishes we did not order, we ended up liking them as well! Very friendly! It is Chinese as well as Japanese, which is awesome!

Staff extremely rude but after talking to Owner Henry… the Apple does not fall far from the tree. After multiple orders being wrong, and instead of making a patron happy, this pompous owner would rather lose customers than make them happy about the place. Either way, the quality no different than Panda Express. There are better Chinese Restaurants in town… and with owners that appreciate your business. It the closest place to me but let’s not kid ourselves, Chico is not that big and a couple more minutes down the road, do yourself a favor choose a different place.
