My wife and I ate here this past weekend and it was amazing.

We had a favorite in Raleigh before we moved to wonderful Sanford. Now we have a NEW favorite. Amazing food, wonderful service and generous portions.

FYI - Their sushi is incredible as well!

It's not often the meal presentation looks better than the photos! Not only did it look good, but it tasted amazing. I got the teriyaki chicken bento box with seaweed salad, and I was surprised to have an entire bowl of seaweed salad before the bento box came out. I was also happy with a freshly grilled chicken breast on the plate. Overall, it is my new favorite Asian restaurant in Sanford and I look forward to coming back for the sushi!

Pretty tired of driving all the way downtown to get food from here, only for them to change the hours on google at exactly the time they're supposed to open, to closed. I love the food and am content with this being the only decent sushi option in Sanford IF THEY ACTUALLY OPENED. Not sure why so many businesses in Sanford think they're gonna be successful when they open and close all willy nilly.

I got a slight histamine poisoning with my sushi. Immediatley after eating, I felt my tongue fuzzy and skin was itchy. The salmon sushi I got was veeeeeery fishy, so I think that was the culprit. The eel avocado was great. My husband got teriyaki steak hibachi that was tasty, and he had no issues there. So I’d steer away from the sushi.

Just went to this restaurant and waited 40 min without anyone even acknowledging we walked in. They were busy but a hello would have went a long way. 40 min in we ask for a table and it was 1 of 3 that were empty. We're told 5 min. We wait 10. We ask again and are told it's at least 40 min to get food. Why not say that when people walk in? Terrible service but we heard the food is good. Obviously others had a much better experience than us.

Placed a to go order of Hibachi chicken lunch special. Unfortunately no ginger sauce or dressing. Didn't like the white sauce but fortunately entree was well seasoned and rice very tasty. Great bargain for price.
