“I had the chicken with shrimp served on some chow menu style noodles. On my second time trying them, I had their chicken and white rice. It was delicious and hearty enough to save for the next days lunch.If you feel like having chow mein, this place is a must have.UPDATE: I had to go and get some more! Love this place.“

“First time I’ve been here. Service was good, but the food is amazingly good. I got a few different meals for my family. Everything was on point. Definitely check this place out.“

“Love this place! My family always has a great time with great food. Friendly staff ALWAYS“

“Good service and good food! Quickly seated. Order was taken and food served in a very timely manner. We ate at about 6pm on a Saturday and it wasn't very busy. We had the family sushi boat and shared teriyaki chicken. Soooo good. We will definitly come back for more!

Update.... Many yrs later. 😂 This is still our go to sushi place. Our favorites are the titanic roll, chirashi sushi bowl and today I had the beef teriyaki bento box instead of the chicken teriyaki bento and it was amazing. I will forever be getting the beef... Medium rare. So tender and yummy. Our only complaint is we hate they don't have soda on tap anymore. Ever since covid you get a can of soda and a glass of ice. We mainly go for lunch as I love the bento boxes with the variety it comes with. You do get bigger portions at dinner, but not the variety of items on one plate.“

“Rei Teppanyaki was excellent! I ordered the two-meat plate with steak and shrimp on spicy fried rice with veggies. The shrimp was cooked to perfection: juicy, flavorful, and just right. The steak was a bit overcooked for my personal taste, but it still had great flavor.

The fried rice with the Rei (spicy) sauce is definitely the way to go. It’s packed with flavor and has just the right amount of kick without being overwhelming. The veggies were fresh and nicely cooked, adding a good balance to the meal.

Portion sizes are huge, definitely more than I could finish in one sitting. Overall, great food, generous portions, and solid flavor all around. I’ll definitely be going back!“

“Good food and big servings. Nice and friendly staff“
