I really love their poke bowls - tuna one is absolutely the best. The sushi is really good too. It’s very reasonably priced and fast (we get to go).

Recently I visited this restaurant without any expections . But it’s was really good food , Osaka roll , milk tea series are my favourite. Chicken hibachi here are highly recommended.

The guy who runs it, doesn’t care about customers or going quickly, online orders take a minimum of 30 minutes, in person orders probably take even longer. My food was ready for a few minutes, he still took his time even though I’ve been standing there for almost 10 minutes. When you walk in, no one acknowledges you for at least 2 to 3 minutes. You have to stand at the cash register and make a bunch of noise.

Meal for three cost $74 (tip included), and the food definitely does not worth the money. Actually I wouldn’t eat there if it cost half as much. Taste pretty horrible. The bubble tea was good though.

This place has been around for some time and we've been here twice before. Just never got around to reviewing it. Kara is mostly a take out place. Saw many folks getting carry out. Me and my fam were the only ones who sat down to eat coz we came out for a walk : bike ride and decided to get dinner! Food was awesome! We ordered the dumplings, chicken Katsu curry rice bowl, the veggies & tofu hibachi and chicken hibachi. Everything was delicious, but both the hibachis were the best. The tofu was sweet, crunchy and juicy. The vegetables were sautéed to perfection. The katsu was perfectly breaded and fried. I personally didn't like the taste of the curry powder they used , but that's just a preference. Normally I love curry. Everything was freshly prepared and it came out piping hot and it was delicious!

The salmon in the roll neither seem nor taste right to me. It missed the tender texture. I asked the person who made it whether the salmon was raw because it tasted like half cooked. He told me because it was frozen before making into sushi. Okay, he successfully made me feel ignorant and regret visiting and paying for their frozen salmon roll ?

Buyer BEWARE!!! Ordered with Grubhub, I didn’t receive all my food so, I called the restaurant they told me he packed the order and he put everything in there. He then tried to say I was lying or the driver took the food which the bag was stapled. He didn’t even offer a reasonable solution other than calling grubhub.

I do not usually post reviews, but this is the grossest sushi I have ever had. I got the spider roll and Alaskan roll and the crab meat and salmon was not fresh. Funky taste and almost threw up from the one piece I had of the spider roll. The soy sauce was rancid and it smelled the second I took the lid off. The wasabi was poor quality as well. I only ate one piece of my spider roll and 2 pieces of the Alaskan roll then had to throw it away. My boyfriend got a stir fry meal and there was so much oil. Do not recommend this place. Please save your money and taste buds!

Generally a nice restaurant, good sushi lunch deal. I normally get X2 Salmon Avocado rolls and a miso soup and am always satisfied for the price. I came in today for a pickup order, there were high school kids everywhere, and the staff were unable to locate my food. Someone from the back came, examined my mobile receipt, and went to a table full of high school girls who were eating and retrieved my order. I asked him to make me a new order, and he said it would be another 20 min. I drove home and came back, had to wait a few more minutes for my food, and was surprised they didn't apologize for the inconvenience or give me an app or something to make up for the error. This was my first time getting the poke, and I was disappointed to see lots of lettuce in my bowl, and very little salmon. I've never seen lettuce in a poke before, and this was not just a garnish, it was a mix between a salad and a poke. I filled the entire container from the dumplings with this lettuce... I am normally really full and cannot finish my 2 roll and a soup lunch, but this was double the price and left me hungry and disappointed. Will not return here during high school lunch time, and will not order the poke. I hope this business starts adding ingredients to their menu so we know what we are ordering and are not surprised by non traditional items such as lettuce in a poke.

The pics were definitely misleading. We wanted to dine in but this is a carryout situation only. There are tables to eat there but only after you buy your food togo.That said, the guys working there were very nice and the sushi was very fresh and tasty. I would def eat there again when I want to get carryout.
