“The kolaches are the best!!!”

“A place where you can ride your bike and stop and get a brew or some food to ensure you have the strength to get back to where you started your bike trip. On Sunday afternoons they usually have some local bands playing. They have shade covers as well as an area to set along a bar outside.”

“Great service, food, and spirts. Funny thing after getting my bill for three well drinks and three IPA’s and splitting a tenderlion for 65.00 All I can seem to remember is the .95 up charge for a side of mayo. Makes me not want to come back and I really like the place.”

“We celebrated a birthday last night at Izumi - It was fantastic, not only was our food outstanding, our service was in a league all it's own. Our server was so attentive, so quick with everything he did. We had originally thought we'd have 14 in our party, but ended up with 12, we were seating in a "private" dining room - I can't thank you enough for that - it allowed us to talk freely between the 2 tables and not feel like we were being to loud. Highly recommend the all you can eat sushi, although the hibachi was out of this world too! Thank you for a great experience- will definitely be back. Oh almost forgot the Cotton Candy Vending machine was magical too!”

“I visited this place in November 2024 for the first time since it opened. I liked the atmosphere, the food was great, and the service was good. Im not familiar with most sushi or pho, but I had the Pho ga and it was delicious! The sprouts came on the side, which is great for me because I dont like those. I highly recommend trying this place out and giving the Pho a try. I heard great things about the Bento box and rolls too.”

“Got the 10 tacos + chips/queso deal for taco Tuesday. Was shocked that every ingredient was individually packaged. So nice! I got half beef and half chicken. Both were phenomenal. What a great deal and absolutely delicious. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“They say the best way to a man's heart is through food—am I about to marry the owner? No. But I will say this: it’s hands down the best meal I’ve had in the U.S. so far. The way the spices harmonise with the meat is a masterpiece, letting the natural flavours shine while the spices create a symphony of aromas that’s pure heaven.”

“I have visited SushiYa many times because the food is always of the highest quality and the service is impeccable. The creative presentations of the chefs is comparable to what would be found at an expensive Japanese Restaurant in a very large city, so dining at SushiYa is affordable and uniquely special! Waiting times are very short (if at all) and availability of close parking is a plus.”

“Great service & delicious food & drinks!”

“awesome waitresses, Grace, Rachael and Sandy. They make us feel like family. we eat here 3 to 4 times a week. excellent food and service!!”

“Papa Murphy pizza is on our list of the pizzas we sometimes crave. Since the pizza is a take-and-bake, we like to upgrade our pizza with our own favorite toppings. If you like sweet and salty, try adding green olives to their Hawaiian. Or maybe you have a favorite sausage or cheese to toss on. Be creative and enjoy.”
