For $12, it’s okay,not too bad for the price — but I’d give it 3/10.
Everything was cold. The chicken katsu had a weird smell and no flavor at all. The rice was okay, but it was also too cold, so I had to ask the front desk to heat it up.
I’m glad I asked for the curry on the side. They said it’s Japanese curry, but it doesn’t taste like Japanese curry at all. The texture was very strange, almost like jelly, and I didn’t like the taste.
It could be much better for a $12 meal :)

Endless Options and choices. I Recommend Getting Spicy Beef Stew With Udon if You are Feeling Spicy. Ordering Congee with Pork for Rainy or Cold Days. And I also Enjoy the Spare Ribs With Rice Dish! As Long as you know what you like before entering this Place is a Staple and their Bubble Tea is Really Affordable!

I've been going to Dancing Chopsticks for years, and it's always only been relevant because of the affordability of their food. The quality? Not so much. Just earlier this year, my friend and I bought sushi from them at night when they have their BOGO discount on sushi. My friend's sushi, I kid you not, smelled like urine. They ate it because they were hungry, but when they finally commented on it, I smelled it myself & was disgusted. And no, sushi should NOT smell like that just because it's been out for a couple hours. The last straw finally came recently, when I ordered their chicken thai fried rice for dinner. I went to sleep a few hours after eating half, and I woke up feeling intense stomach pain - I vomited AND had diarrhea. As a college student, you usually get your fair share of food poisoning cases. However, the only other time this has happened to me is when I ate something that was contaminated with mold at home, and it concerns me that Dancing Chopsticks's food safety must be on that severe of a level (not saying that they have mold in their kitchen). I'm extremely disappointed and their food simply wasn't that good to begin with, so I will never be going back. There's so many better options & it's not worth getting sick during exams week. Just go to AK or Poke Factory or even Young Chow right next door.

Doesn’t even deserve one star. Ordered chicken Katsu via door dash. Worst chicken katsu I have ever had in my life. Zero spice, not even salt was present. Forget that it tastes like cardboard , the chicken smells - must be stale and they just fried it. salad looks old and gross too. Threw away the whole thing after 2 bites and I hope I don’t get sick from it

Chicken katsu was overcooked and dry. Fried gyoza was OK, a bit stale. Beef teriyaki tasted funky, or the teri sauce is wack.
Katsu is OK if you need something ASAP. Not the best quality.

One of the only places you should go on campus for food. Quality and quantity here never lacks. They’ll load up your box with fresh and hot food.

I adore the food at this restaurant. I make it a habit to try to go at least once a week for a meal, well priced and good portions. Way healthier than a burger place around just a few bucks more is 100% worth it.

Got chicken katsu, ate it multiple times from this place, this time it tasted horrible, told them it tasted very bad, nothing like before, and asked if they can replace the product or refund, but they said it's not possible, I don't want that low quality food, so told them to keep it and enjoy, they took zero responsibility of the bad quality food, never going again after eating there for like 10 times so far, so frustrated..

Everything was very disappointing. We got two Bento boxes delivered and a side of tokyo chicken
Both our entrees were strange in color. The chicken terriaki was a grey brown, and the katsu calamari was dark brown, and obviously overcooked in old oil. Ive had both at other restaurants and they never tasted like this. The calamari was literally too tough to chew. The tokyo chicken was also overcooked, tough and mostly breading.
Both types of dumplings were bad. The gyoza style ones were stale and tough. The steamed dumpling were tasteless mush.
Even the rice tasted stale. I really feel everything they serve was old, stale or freezer burned. Normally I might give a place the benefit of the doubt, but not a single item was done well
Had delivered. Shrimp tempura—what a joke. Every piece was way overcooked. Shrimp rubbery. Breading not like tempura batter at all—just a very thick coating of bread crumbs. Would give them 0 stars if that were an available choice. Don’t go here for authentic Japanese food.

Food is okay. Stars removed for customer service. While we sat and started to eat, they told us we couldn’t sit down to eat the food that WE PAID FOR at this place. It wasn’t even closing time -there was a few hours left and already “they cleaned up” apparently. Others were sitting down and eating also smh. So Customer service made my experience very negative….

Our food was made with care, shrimp fried rice was great, a beef stew was extra spicy in addition very great flavor. I wished it was less spicy.

Hated it! Worst soup I've had in years! Why did they put Lettuce in my soup?!?!? Also the beef was terrible. Never coming here again

Great service huge servings and food is great. Got the Tokyo chicken bento box with the chicken dumplings which were amazing with the sauce on the side. For only 13 bucks definitely worth the price.
For $12, it’s okay,not too bad for the price — but I’d give it 3/10.
