We had never been here before and really were unimpressed. I guess these express places must all be like this where the food is just dished out of a buffet type table. Nah, we prefer fresh cooked and will stick to that in the future. The next day my stomach was a mess.

Average Japanese mixed with Chinese dishes. I liked everything but the rice. I had steak, shrimp, and chicken with zucchini and onions.

Food was not good whatsoever, my sister and I both ordered the California roll. The California roll did not look fresh nor taste fresh, if I’m being completely honest the sushi didn’t even taste like a California roll… Please explain to me how you mess up a California roll. Just plain right disgusting, couldn’t even finish the food. I do not recommend coming.

My first and last time going here! ?? Two thumbs down!!A)Ordered tariaki chicken. Must have been leftovers from lunch. Couldn't really tell if it was chicken or beef. Fed it to dog next door. I didn't want to take a chance and feed it to mine.B)Ordered fried mushrooms. There were some pcs of mushrooms in a thick batter? So greasy I couldn't (wouldnt) eat them. Definitely were not like the whole mushroom pic on line!C)Fried rice was eatable!D)Tariaki shrimp was ok.F)I ordered pan fried pot stickers, they were deep fried and hard as an effing rock!Not like any Japanese food I've had before. Salty, over seasoned and over cooked!!!Maybe they were having a bad day???

My wife and I came here for the first time today and we will never be back. The sign says they have a hibachi. We ordered hibachi teriyaki chicken. We waited to see if the food was actually going to be cooked fresh on the hibachi. Never was. They had containers of food that had been sitting under heat lamps for four hours. They simply just scooped our food from these metal hog trough trays and slopped it into a plastic prison assembly line tray. They clearly had canned carrots, canned broccoli, canned cabbage and the meat I have no idea. Upon tasting all of this was confirmed. Everything tasted like it came from a metal Alpo dog food can. Fu€|{ing disgusting!!! As a chef of 30years who owned a restaurant and worked with Chinese, Japanese, louse and Thai people this is downright insulting. They make way better food at great wall in Reidsville and the owner is the best chef for 100 miles in both directions. I asked for a refund and the woman gave me a void receipt. I said this is not a refund receipt this is a void transaction receipt. She lied to my face and said it was a refund. Either refund my money or I will have my bank come get it for me!! Now I know why the lot is always empty. If this happens to you don't fool with these people go to your bank and dispute the transaction tell them you never ate any of your food. you don't have to pay for something you didn't eat!! I actually ended up calling the boss and he said they'd rather just cater to the people who like save a lot canned carrots and corn. Why not just do better and cater to everyone??? I don't get it. I am a chef of 30years and it makes me sad when I see something with so much potential but the owners would rather serve something that would make myself and Gordon Ramsey "RALFF!!". I myself would bet a million dollars I could come in there and have that place turned around in a few weeks. Very sad and I love Asian food.

Worst Sushi and hibachi chicken. Sushi is double rolled with rice and the hibachi chicken was just bad old tasting chicken. The spring rolls and soup were good. Good service, but not enough to ever go back. It's hard to rid the bad taste of overpaying for bad food. Only reason we tried is because the other (better) hibachi restaurant was closed. I recommend buying sushi from Walmart or a convenience store..
