“This is not the first time I’ve eaten here, nor will it be the last. The food is always delicious and fresh, with a hint of love and soul. One of my favorite dishes is the Salmon Tataki Donburi, it is well balanced between the rice, salad mix, and salmon.Parking: Parking is never been an issue, since it is a smaller restaurant and not much seating, it is preferable to order take out.“

“Older but clean place. Service is so so, but I think it's because they don't have a lot of staff (and I always go right when it opens and it's a mad rush at 5pm).But to the most important part. Their sushi is very, very good. Not fancy, but these Japanese sushi chefs always present you with very fresh and good quality sushi.“

“Sushi Yaki has been my go-to spot for a quick dinner after long, difficult work days. I work nearby and I'm so grateful I can simply walk over. There's nothing more comforting than having a nice meal in a humble, dependable shop like this.Props to the older couple running the place because I've never had a negative experience. The food is consistently good and the service is reliable.“

“We went there for my daughter's 25th birthday ? and wanted to try a new place..she always wants ? we usually go to a local place, but this one was about 20 minutes away but we'll worth the drive. Staff was very friendly and served us very quickly. We did all you can eat lunch, very reasonable but next time we will order less the 1st time, you get 3 times to order. Everything was fantastic. Coming back for sure. Thank you ?“

“I have always driven past Asia Buffet, but finally did decided to give it a try. When I walked in it was busy and full of diners, which was a good sign. I was impressed by the several rows of steam tables full of different Chinese and Japanese options. I served myself a little from as many as I could fit on my plate and had to go back for seconds. The food was delicious. I loved the barbecue pork ribs, mussels, huge selection of seafood, orange chicken, Kung pow chicken, Mongolian beef, combination chow mein and fried rice, the list is endless. The food is very tasty. It is not a fancy place so the atmosphere is just OK but the food and service are great. I even came back recently with my family so they could get a taste of it too. If you are craving Chinese food, I definitely recommend this restaurant!“

“This is a small sushi restaurant we almost passed up looking for a bigger venue. We are glad we stopped in. The food was delicious (we loved the house salad, even my kids that don't veggies). The place is run by a husband and wife team so be patient with them, the service is personable but a tad slow. They were really nice and I could tell they had regulars. The sushi was fresh and very affordable. My family of four ate and the entire bill including the tip was less than $95. Usually, it will cost us more than $125 per meal at most sushi places for my family. Highly recommended.“

“Discovered this gem back in 2020. Food is excellent, and we have been going back ever since.... it's our favorite Japanese/Sushi place. We always get the Bento Box with the Chicken Katsu or Teriyaki Chicken, California or Crunchy Roll, Shrimp and Veg Tempura and a side of the pork gyoza. The Karaage chicken is also very good. Love their fried rice too!!!! Service is always great as well.... they know we're regulars now. Prices are reasonable. I Highly recommend this place!“

“I'll be going back. Perfectly nice experience. The place was clean, standard strip mall restaurant but a little nicer than standard.Greeted when I came in and gave my order. "It'll be just a minute or two." I filled my water cup, turned around and he had my order ready in his hand. Very fast.I liked the teriyaki sauce they make, so got a little extra for my chicken and veggie bowl. Not strong or overpowering sauce but good flavor.All was piping hot, chicken was tender, cooked veggies had a slight crisp to them. Can't really think of anything more one could ask for.Plenty in the bowl, filled me up with a little more than I could eat. But I did anyways-Parking: Just a busy area, close parking gets limited at times. Othwise, part of a huge Home Depot lot.“

“I have been going to Yogi's for very many years. I love sushi and tempura and rice bowls all of it. They have a special on the weekends. Where you buy two sushi rolls and you get one free. They have many very delicious rolls a superb variety! Their tempura is fantastic! This is a do not miss restaurant“
