I dont ever take the time to review places but the steak was very tender and delicious!

They are absolutely fantastic. I’ve never had tempura this good and perfectly cooked. I always order a tempura bento box for lunch. First time it was chicken and the second time it was shrimp. The best part is actually the tempura vegetables that come with it. The onion was like a Japanese onion ring and when you dip with the tempura sauce that comes with your order it is seriously delicious. My other favorite is the tempura sweet potato. I thought it was carrot and I was very pleasantly surprised when it was sweet potato. I love tempura sweet potato rolls so to eat it as just a tempura battered sweet potato slice was amazing. The sweet potato was cooked to perfection where it wasn’t undercooked hard but very soft. I also chose the tuna roll to go with it and I can tell the tuna is pretty fresh since it’s not bright red. Super bright red tuna usually means it’s pumped with a lot of carbon monoxide. That’s how fish is sold so it doesn’t look a little brown like it naturally should. Tuna doesn’t stay fresh very long and should be cooked and eaten as soon as you buy it.
It is also kid-friendly! I went with my baby thinking I’ll just go in, pay for stuff, and head to the next errand but he was so fussy. So I asked them if I could use a booth to feed him and they said yes. I started eating my lunch while I fed the baby with the other hand and I struggled to put everything back so I could leave since I only had one hand. The lady came up to me and asked if she could help and I said yes please. So she placed everything back in the bag and re-stapled it and I was so grateful for them going the extra mile. I unfortunately didn’t have cash to leave a nice tip so I hope this raving review will make up for it!

The pad Thai was very very saucy and did not even taste like pad Thai. Was told it would be 25 mins for pickup and food was not ready until 40 mins after I called. Would not recommend there ($14)pad Thai.

Excellent service, very kind and knowledgeable. When asked for suggestions they described texture and flavor extensively. It was easy to experiment with a new sushi. without straying from what I know I enjoy.Food was fresh and flavorful. Great presentation.Excited to come back next time I'm in town!
Updated 7/24/2022: new ownership took over in Feb. 2022. The food is still good but we lost the connection with this restaurant that we had with the original owners. We tried visiting the restaurant a few times this year but find ourselves shifting towards other places in WNY.

Bright spotlight above our table made it hard to enjoy the seating. Hibachi steak came out in a sauce we weren't expecting, but sushi was good.

As you can see from my original posting, this used to be my favorite. Then it changed hands. I could tell the difference right away, the quality isn't what it used to be. The greens in the salad turned to iceberg lettuce overnight. It's still not bad, just not the same. "Great! Had many great meals here and the service is always top notch. This is currently our favorite Japanese restaurant."

I only really know WNY sushi and I consider this to be the best. Their rolls and sashimi are always fresh and tasty. Authentic Wasabi (not colored horseradish) and fresh ginger help to make the meal, also. A friend who spent years living in Japan will only eat here when he wants Japanese food.Update 5-2023: While the ownership had changed the atmosphere is similar and the food is just as good.
Good place to eat
Now, it has an all you can eat
