Tables are wheelchair-friendly and there is room for wheelchair users to maneuver. There are also charging ports at the tables so you can plug in while you eat.“

“Sushi bowl $15 - includes 3 protein of your choice. I got the smoked eel, sushi combo and raw salmon. Tons of fabulous flavor!! Perfect amount of rice, and it was topped with ginger, avocado and dab of seaweed salad!GrubHub note: tried pre-ordering delivery, the order was accepted but then later cancelled.“

“Vegetarians - The vegetarian apps were tasty. The Ramen can be made with vegetarian broth / stock (tell the server in advance!). The vegetarian noodles were pretty lackluster, dry and limited in flavor. The staff / owners are very friendly. The bubble tea was delicious. Overall a good stop in the area for a nice hang!“

“Food was amazing and everyone was so nice! Will definitely be back! Order the Tori Karaage, you will not regret it 😍“

“I've been coming here on and off since it's open. However in the past year year me and a friend stop here every Wednesday before we go to D&D. The food is always amazing, and the service is fantastic. After trying 99% of everything the menu i don't think there is a thing i don't like. There green dragon roll is my favorite item on the menu, unagi is hard to cook and for all the times I've had it, it's been perfect.“

“This is a new restaurant that opened in Inver Grove Heights 2 months ago. The owners have previously owned other well-known Japanese restaurants and have many years of experience. Upon stepping inside the restaurant, you are greeted with warm, friendly, and hospitable staff. Great traditional cute Japanese ambiance. The quality and portions of the food are great with varieties of dishes like sushi, ramen, hibachi and more. I will definitely be going back soon as I really like this place and would strongly suggest everyone to try! 😁😋❤“

“Frankie was great at recommending the right single malt!“

“I love this establishment! Terrific food and very friendly people! The All You Can Eat lunch menu at $17.99 is a ridiculously good deal! My new favorite restaurant!“

“I needed a treat, and did I ever get one in my bag of takeout tonight from Midori’s Floating World Cafe (in their temporary Seward Cafe location). The dumplings, entrees, and dessert were exquisitely prepared, with flavorful sauces and broths. Glad I splurged on the Daifuku: it was a little work of edible art. This food woke all of my senses for spring. I’ll be back.“

“Definitely recommend this place in Woodberry it’s a little dark in there but it seems nice their service is a little slow but the food is good!“

“One of my favorite food places in the mall. The Hibachi service is kinda neat just to watch for what you pay for. Drizzle some Bourbon Chicken on top, I can eat that everyday. Nevermind the Beta Male Karens complaining about wearing masks (NPC/mindless drone) or assumptions about the employees giving them looks...You just get your food and eat it!“

“Food was great server was greater! Thanks“

“The food is fresh and delicious, and the staff is friendly and so welcoming.“

“I ordered take out over the phone, and it was easy.
I ordered:
1 green river roll
1 salmon avocado roll
1 spicy tuna roll

The sushi wasn't amazing, but it was decent. The green river was my favorite. I liked the crunch of the shrimp tempura and seaweed salad. The eel sauce was tasty and balanced the flavors too.

The spicy tuna was ok. The spicy mayo had a good kick to it, which was great! It was a little bit on the dry side though, so maybe it could've used a touch more spicy mayo in the mixture. As for the salmon avocado, it was good.

I love when chefs use minimal rice when making sushi, because it makes it easier to taste all the other ingredients. New Fresh Wok sushi chefs did just that.

Overall, I liked the sushi and would order it from here again. I am also excited to try the other Chinese dishes!“

“First time there. It was two of us. We were greeted by friendly staff. The staff was helpful with our questions. The food was delicious. We ordered different items to try each other's orders. The flavor of all the entrées was on par. Definitely filling. Great for date night or family/friends gathering.“

“I love this place, very nice staffs , food is always fresh and amazing !!!!!!! Highly recommend Iwa sushi !!!!! ❤️❤️❤️“

“Amazing Sushi! Highly recommend the B.M.W. roll!!“

“One thing you all should note... Although you can, I don't think this is a place you go alone... Hibachi settings are always nice (fresh food cooked in front you) although might have excess oil,lol. But it's worth it.

The chefs and their magic tricks.. lol, makes it all eventful and with friends you'd have a blast.. highly recommended culinary experience, plus I got to flex my few japanese phrases or semi-sentences..

So food+ friends+ tricks+ ambience+ great service+variety. Won't go wrong with Osaka“

“I had the tako yaki and the sashimi variety platter with a tuna roll and everything was soooooo good! Definitely would recommend to anybody who likes sushi. Just beware because everything had a nugget of Wasabi in it. I love wasabi but if you're not expecting it, it can hit you and their wasabi is pretty potent. The waitress/bartender is super nice and we chatted for a bit about the strongest man competition on the screen and shared some laughs, she's very nice. 5/5, will definitely come again.“

“Honestly, I've never been there... but when an influence (@joshlilj) came in to buy a large order to feed the homeless, the restaurant decided to give the large order to him at no charge.
As someone who never thought I could be homeless, and yet here I am, right now... homeless... I can appreciate what this restaurant owner and the influencer did.
Even though it didn't affect me individually... in behalf of the homeless it did affect... Thank you.“

“i love eating here. my favorite buffet“

“Cheaper than a Big Mac meal and more full filling. If you're looking for a cheap eat that will fill u up, their lunch buffet is excellent. Food quality is more like 3.5 stars which for the price, no complaints during this day and age where eating out becomes expensive.“

“The staff is great! Food taste amazing, overall a great atmosphere. Didn't mind grabbing a drink at the bar while we waited for an awesome show!

Kid-friendliness: The servers are so great with kids! They gave the kids crayons and paper to have some fun with.“
