“I've been wanting to go to this restaurant that's pretty much in my neighborhood for a while and ended up going on Easter Sunday of all days... I had a hard time deciding on one item to order and I ordered it medium which was a little bit too spicy for me. Next time I would order mild that still has a little spice to it. We both were very happy with our meal and will be coming back and making this a regular spot for ourselves! The food was very flavorful and the server was superb. Our hats off to the chef!“

“Phenomenal poke bowl! Love that you can customize and be as traditional or wild as you want to be. Incredibly fresh and flavorful! Tons of options and a great place to eat the rainbow. The 3 protein bowls are huge and so reasonably priced. Husband got a poke burrito and the Mexican Roll - everything absolutely delicious! Impeccably clean inside and the owners are super sweet and even gave us a little tea mug as a thanks for our order! Will definitely be a regular customer!“

“We visited Buffalo for Solar Eclipse and new to the town. We checked on Yelp and found this amazing restaurant. We were pleasantly surprised by the delicious food at this restaurant. The prices are very reasonable, and the portions are generous. There's a wide variety of Japanese and Thai dishes to choose from, and both the fried rice and noodles are exceptionally tasty. We also appreciated the added bonus of receiving two free egg rolls for checking in on Yelp. It's no wonder this place has nearly a thousand reviews--it's definitely the best Asian restaurant in town. Highly recommended!“

“I went to this restaurant a few times last year and have recently ordered takeout.Dining in: the place was clean and not overcrowded with tables. The staff was friendly and patient with our endless questions and great at suggesting and helping us pick our entrees. The wait for the food was a bit longer than we would have liked, but the food was worth the wait. They served genours portions.If you enjoy spicy food, make sure to ask for Thai spicy pr ask for chili oil on the side because my extra hot was barely a 1.5 (on a scale of 1-5)Food ordered: pad see ew, pad thai, Basil fried rice and a few rolls.Takout: I ordered less than 30 minutes before closing. I was quite surprised they took my order, as many places close their kitchen 30 minutes before closing. The portions were once again quite generous. The food was not quite as delicious as when I ate in the restaurant, though. I plan on ordering out again and comparing it.Classic fried rice with chicken and tom yum soup, beef pad thai.“

“Ordered from here for the first time on Uber Eats. Didnt know what to expect but i definitely was not disappointed. Got the Chicken Hibachi with Salmon as an extra. The salmon tasted great and everything was packed nicely, no leaks. Also ordered the Philadelphia roll and the Asparagus Salmon Roll as im not a fan of avocado. Both were delicious!! Would definitely order here again!“

“Thank you, Max, the manager for an awesome food. The mango and peach drink with cherry was awesome. Jaden showed us to our table and loved to watch the robot serving the food. Sarah, our server was good, but she switched to another section without letting us know. We kept looking for her for napkins and more hot water. Thank God, Lee, our alternative server showed up and helped bring the hot water. I recommend that next time, if a server switches to another section, please let the customer know so we don’t have to wait for the no-show server. Overall, the experience was awesome. Next time, we will order all you can eat buffet for 40 dollars, more bang for the buck. Thank you, Max, for the hard work, we saw you explaining the menu in detail to other customers, in addition to bar tending, multiple tasks, and awesome restaurant manager. We ordered the spicy basil chicken and the red curry chicken, and both were delicious, many thanks to the cook. The mango salad was superb, and we highly recommend it. The green tea cheese cake was just ok. The price of the food was pretty decent,compared to other restaurants in the vicinity. Super awesome servers, cleaning the table as soon as we are done with the dishes. Thank you, Max, the manager for the training you gave the servers for this awesome quick service.“

“Beautiful decor, very pretty inside. Server wasn't what I would call "friendly"; more like "coolly polite", but he did an excellent job. The food: Absolutely delicious! There's a Combo deal of soup + two or three sushi rolls; we combined & shared that with Seafood Udon noodles and one special roll, "Dark Angel". All of it was wonderful, we ate waaay too much LOL and took the noodles home. Will definitely be returning soon!! Sorry I only got one pic (Angel roll), we were enjoying the meal & forgot to photo!“

“Nice staff and good foodVegetarian options: There are lots of options, including sushi, cooked and raw vegetables.Dietary restrictions: Just ask what the ingredients are in a dishParking: Free parking lot shared by other businessesKid-friendliness: Families were thereWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair access was marked“

“Staff are friendly and unobtrusive, prompt service, great food. My favorite shumai around here.Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options throughout the menu, such as salads, soups, vegetable sushi.Kid-friendliness: I wouldn't bring a wild pack of toddlers here necessarily, but it's family friendly. As long as the kids can generally handle a sit down restaurant they'll be fine. I don't recall a kids menu but my 8 year old does fine ordering a la cart or sharing plates.“

“First time coming to this location and everything was amazing. The food was great and the service even better. Ryan went above and beyond anticipating our needs before we asked and all of the staff was generally just friendly. We usually go to a different ramen spot but because of the service we'll definitely be back. Thanks for making the experience so great! Not the easiest as I'm a grumpy pregnant woman with a lively toddler.“

“This is the only place to eat in the food count in the Galleria mall. I always get the chicken teriyaki. Its cooked fresh in front of you on a grill. I've been eating here for years and have never gotten sick. Don't get me wrong its fast Japanese food but its almost as good as a sit down hibachi which costs a lot more. I've actually had sit down hibachi's in the area that were worse than this. The flavor is there. One order is enough to feed 2 people for lunch unless you are very hungry. There are other things on the menu but I never had any of them.“

“This place is so damn cute!!! Loved the sushi, the atmosphere was absolutely cozy and the staff was INCREDIBLE. They were so polite, nice, fast service with so much quality. I would recommend you stop in! We're so happy we stopped by before heading back to Canada.“

“This place is great, 5 stars! Food is always fresh and hot, reasonable prices, big portions, the Tokyo Chicken has probably been my least favorite, it's good but a little crispy for my taste, the beef teriyaki is very good but my favorite has been the pork platter, it's delicious!“

“After talking to the waitress and expressing our concerns having an allergy to dariy and gluten. All of our worries were addressed and put to rest. For all allergies, the food is prepared in the back, in a allergy clean cook area. You can still sit with your group and enjoy the hibachi. As everyone else is served, your food is safely brought out. The food is always flavorful and presented well. The staff is kind and knowledgeable. If it's date night, there is a small bar that you can get drinks brought to you at your table or hibachi.Dietary restrictions: Gluten and dariy allergy“

“This restaurant has great reviews and I live nearby so it's a shame it took me this long to go try it. We ordered the chicken hibachi and the bulgogi. Both meals came with a miso soup and rice, the hibachi dinner also had some vegetables with it. All the sides were amazing, the soup was really good, the rice was sticky and delicious and the vegetables were cooked great. The bulgogi was super tender and will definitely be a staple of my future orders. Only complaint about the food was the hibachi chicken was pretty dry. If it had some sauce I think it would've masked it some, but I'm going to try other things on the menu before I give this a second chance. We also had the pork gyoza appetizer and it was one of the best I've ever had. I tried using its sauce on the hibachi chicken to help alleviate the dryness and it worked a little bit. I unfortunately didn't take pictures of the food, but I do have pictures of the menu so I will share that since all the ones on here are very old. This menu is current as of 3/28/2023. The restaurant has no dine in options currently, they are set up for take out and are quick to make your food. Also the cost of this place may have gone up over the years, but it's a great value for really good food!“

“Favorite ramen spot in Buffalo! Just like the location on Hertel Ave, this location makes superior ramen. The broth is everything with ramen and this does not disappoint. The staff is always so friendly. Anytime we've had an extended wait due to how busy the restaurant is they've brought us a little snack to hold us over. We've gotten take-out ramen from here often and love how they pack everything up. When you get home, the ramen is almost as amazing as it is in-person (take-out is never 100% the same).“
