This place is great and our food was really good. I feel like this is our local hidden gem. We came here by accident. Thought it was something else. The robot server is a nice touch . Super cute!The Pinot Noir was really good.I got the Crab Rangoon and the Spider Roll, both were outstanding! My husband had the Miso soup which was very tasty and he had Teriyaki Scallop. So fresh and flavorful, and a huge portion.It's a Modern Japanese Bistro with a good dose of Kawaii and a J-Pop soundtrack. We will be back!

I had high expectations due to raving Google reviews, but the food was really so bad! The "fried rice" was white rice with soy sauce on top. The steak was overcooked and so tough, I could not chew it (was not asked how we wanted it cooked). The yum yum sauce is essentially thick mayo. The ginger dressing was lacking a lot of flavor and tasted bitter. The shrimp was overcooked and had tails on it, so I had to use my hands to pick them off (which was hard since they were overcooked). The server was very nice, but he didn't do much since the robot thing carried the food (which seemed like overkill). For the high prices (comparable to Kobe), the portions were very small. There were no customers at 7pm on a weekend, which should have been the first clue. The place was clean, but unfortunately we won't be back. There are many other good hibachi and sushi places nearby.

We had a double birthday party there yesterday and they decorated the area around our table and treated us royally! We love their food and the robot Bella who delivers our food and even sang Happy Birthday to us!

Finally tried this restaurant and we were very happy that we did. The sushi rolls were fantastic - Fiji roll, Rainbow roll, and Phoenix roll. We had the chicken wok as well which was wonderful - very fresh and flavorful and huge portions. Service was great. This will definitely be a place we frequent. I cannot wait to go back for more of that sushi!

Terrific service in a lovely restaurant. We enjoyed crunchy sushi and the volcano roll. So good we ordered a second round. Fun to watch Bella the robot sing happy birthday to several customers. We will visit again!

I found this place by complete accident and I'm happy I did. The staff are very friendly, the place is clean and the prices are reasonable. I had the beef wok with a side of white rice and ginger salad. Everything was very tasty and it came out extreme fast. They also offer lunch specials and a variety of specialty drinks. What makes this place even more unique is Bella, their robot kitty. Excellent place! Definitely recommends!!!

We moved to the area yesterday and decided to try Yummy Cafe this evening. Guo was a fabulous waiter - so charming and kind! He was telling us about Bella the food carrying robot and all that she did, when he mentioned it sings happy birthday we told him it was our son’s birthday two days ago. He programmed her to sing to him and brought out a beautiful dessert plate of Mochi with candles. Fabulous customer service AND food! We will definitely be frequenting such a great establishment.

Very clean. Very well lit. Very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable staff. Excellent sushi. From the greeting at entry, opening with delicious starter bowl of Clear Soup and crisp Tempura Shrimp for appetizer, my sushi lunch was a happy Tuesday visit. Our server, Ivan (not Bella the Robot), could answer every question about the food and it's preparation. Also helpful with suggestions from menu for our current meal. And information for future visits. Companion's meal of Chicken Hibachi was large enought to bring home for a second meal. Even the rice was tasty. And our full meal for two was $33. (Not counting tip and we had no alcohol.) I will definitely return. With friends!

This place was amazing in many different ways! I forgot to take pictures but the design was cute and beautiful, they have a awesome robot that delivers your food and drinks which my family and I thought were very cool and made it an even better experience. I got sushi and gyoza dumplings which came out neat and delicious. The dumplings came out soft, chewy, and full of flavor. The sauces were pretty good and the fried sushi I thought were perfect. I got the spider roll and the crazy girl roll and were amazing. Lastly, the service was amazing! The people there were really nice and helped as much as they good

There was no wait to get in. The place was clean and the staff was kind! I had the Mexican roll and avocado roll which were both pretty good for the price. The robot, Bella, was adorable. Make sure to scratch behind her ear!

Yes, there is a robot here named Bella that brings your food to you. She likes to have her ears scratched and keeps the children entertained. They also serve fruity non-alcoholic beverages in plastic light bulbs. Not sure if I was supposed to keep the light bulb or not, but I left it on the table. Food was pretty good. Steak and chicken were the best. Noodles were alright (I prefer Hibatchi Express noodles). Salad was enjoyable. California rolls were delicious. Everything was clean. Staff was friendly. I would definitely come back here.
