Stick to the ramen noodles here, everything else is questionable. The squid balls had raw dough, and they ignored my concern and laughed. The salmon sushi rolls tasted artificial and the Kani salad was small and served on a bed of lettuce, which seemed odd and wasteful.

Very family friendly while still feeling slightly upscale. The food is great and reasonably priced. The waitstaff is kind and very accommodating. We’ve been twice and both times were excellent.

Today I ordered a miso Ramen with no mushrooms, and no bamboo shoots and I am a good 20 to 25 minutes away from this place but I’ve had Ramen there before and I’ve never had a problem but today when I got home and I was ready to eat, Ramen had the mushrooms now the only reason I was really upset about it is because I’m severely allergic like severely so I did what anybody else would do I called them and told them that they got my order wrong and thank God that I didn’t just dig into it because I would’ve been in the hospital so she said OK we’ll make another one just come and get it I have another 20 to 25 minutes there and back when I get home that will also had some of the mushrooms not as much but it looked like they put it in again Not realizing and they just took it out which is still not OK because the mushroom has touched the other stuff so I think this would be the last time I be going to this place really good thing that I can say is the girl that answered the phone was very nice and understanding and right away, tried to fix the situation, but whoever’s in the kitchen is not listening to instructions

The food was alright, but the service was distracted by her cell phone. I attempted to get her attention to come and refill my drink, but she was too occupied with her phone. So I have to end up drinking from my husband's glass.

Incredibly friendly service with the best chicken fried rice in the area

I used to frequent this place for sushi and fried rice. I visited with my friend a couple weeks ago for a sushi dinner and got one of the worst instances of food poisoning of my life. I’m afraid to go back now. And the sushi itself was not great either- not worth the illness.

The ramen is not good at all. It tastes unclean, as if very dirty tap water is a key ingredient. My friends and I shouldn't be avoiding multiple things on the menu because they're known for tasting horrible. If you think this ramen genuinely tastes good, I think you might have Covid.I recommend Mecha if you really want guaranteed good pho/ramen every time. This stuff... not guaranteed... at all.

A beautiful restaurant with nice interior. Delicious food with various Japanese food selections. I love their special roll selections and how they serve it with beautiful presentatio. Ramen was great too. Octopus ball is good, but little bit creamy for me.

Ramen was okay however I’m surprised by the sushi portion.

Nothing we had was great, and the sushi was terrible. Specifically avoid the salmon crunch rolls; they have a weird texture and bad taste.Two bao buns- not great. Overcooked pork, good veggies, with a thick sauce over them.Tempura platter- sauce came spilled on our food; we could not flag down the server for more tempura sauce. The tempura itself was the best thing we ate.The sushi:The salmon crunch roll was a bad texture, a bad taste, and no crunch. Neither my fiance nor I could finish ours. I ate two of 8 pieces; attempting the second with soy sauce.The California roll was edible.The yellowtail scallion roll had no taste, and no scallions.All sushi had incredibly hard long grain white rice instead of sushi rice; the rice was overcooked and had no flavor; was not washed with vinegar. The seaweed wrapping the fish had no taste and no crunch.Service:Our server was timely to take our orders and refill our waters. I was disappointed by the lack of interaction around the mostly uneaten salmon rolls- Our server did not question the mostly uneaten rolls, took them away, and it was on the final bill.In all, it's a pretty restaurant that I would never eat at again, and all of these positive reviews must come from the ramen, since it surely can't be from the apps or sushi.

I rarely comment on food unless it is exceptional or subpar. In this case I feel compelled to say exceptional!! The sushi is very fresh and the house sake is excellent. Friendly staff and a very clean atmosphere made it a 10 out of 10. And the check was well lower than expected. And no, this was not written by a staff member!

Nice decor, but unfortunately the ramen was flavorless and the extra egg I ordered turned out to be just half an egg for an extra $1.50.
