“Everything thing was great !!! Food and service !!“

“We ate at this Japanese restaurant in Oakdale because we had tickets for the CM Performing Arts Center and it was nearby. It was a lovely restaurant with excellent service, and the food was fine. I ordered hibachi and knew that it wouldn't be cooked in front of me, but it was very different from the hibachi I've experienced at Benihana, for example. Two friends got Bento boxes and thought they were excellent.“

“We dine at JBBQ at least once a week. The staff is incredible, food is delicious and overall such a fun experience! If you haven’t tried it yet, don’t walk, run! You’ll thank me later!!!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A True Hidden Gem
This place has become our absolute favorite sushi spot, and it's not hard to see why. Every single time we visit, the fish is incredibly fresh — you can truly taste the quality in every bite. Whether it's a classic roll or something more inventive, the freshness speaks for itself.
Rocky and Maggie make you feel like family the moment you walk in the door — that kind of warmth is rare and it makes all the difference. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, the kind of spot where you instantly relax and settle in. It's clear that the owners pour their hearts into everything — from the food to the way they treat every guest. We keep coming back, and we'll keep coming back. Highly, highly recommend!“

“Excellent food, and service. I highly recommend if you like this type of Asian cuisine. Not much for dine in, so this is mostly for take out and delivery. I’ve never seen this place not busy, so what does that tell you. Five stars all day. Try their Gyoza if you end up going. It is the best.“

“plentiful variety and you can tell the food itself is great quality! the staff are welcoming and friendly. we went during father's day and there was a tiger mascot to great everyone which was a lot of fun. had a great experience and will come back again!“

“I cannot even begin to say how amazing this place is. They spared no expense decorating and renovating this space. The food was fantastic and is very reasonably priced. They have a huge center bar and lots of Hibachi tables and seating if you are getting Sushi. PLUS a robot brought our food! Ask for Alec! He took great care of us!“

“Sam and I love going here! The food is magnificent! We love the sautéed oysters appetizer and the tuna is amazing! We never had a bad experience here it is $$$ but worth it. It is definitely one of our favorite restaurants.“

“Our favorite restaurant!!!“

“Its a good deal for what you get, but the food is not top notch, too salty, ramen milky, too much sugar in the sauces (like their trying to hide freshness), sushi is ok, hibatchi is ok, and you will get full when you leave. Service is good and fast, atmosphere is not bad. At the end lily liked it, so I cant really complain.“

“Loved it! Very friendly and welcoming staff. The food was delicious and came out quickly. Will definitely go back again! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“Only sharing my review of the food because it's a primarily a take-out restaurant! My notes are that the sushi is the best thing to order here and it gets VERY busy during lunch special rush hours so order ahead on their direct website (although slightly more inconvenient than the ordering apps). Been coming here for many years since it opened and I keep coming back.“

“Tasty food. Excellent service.“

“I've ordered quite a few sushi roll party platters in my area and Mizu Ken exceeded my expectations! Fresh ingredients, generous portions, and delicious 👍 but I would love their shrimp tempura more if it was more crispy and made with slightly less breading“

“Never had a bad meal or drink! Service always on point! highly recommend.“

“I have been eating their food, either sit down or take out, ever since I moved out to ronkonkoma from massapequa 14 years ago. And I have to admit, i got so lucky. Finding them. Their food is fantastic, and I have been eating Japanese for 26 years, i would know by now what is good.. They are the best ive ever had. And they are great people. 👍“

“Great experience. The food was delicious, the sushi was fresh and tasty, the service was great and they don’t rush you! I would definitely go back soon!“

“Always have such a nice experience with Little Tokyo, staff is kind and efficient! I've never had this fast of fast food in my life. Very sweet people, always come back to it :) They deal with rude customers very well and handle their business professionally despite dealing with very racist remarks from customers❤️“

“My go to for Chinese and Japanese. Have been consistent for me“

“The food was good. The fried rice was my least favorite. I loved chicken with broccoli. The place is take out but has eat in potential. They have lots of restaurant supplies in big cardboard boxes in eating area, which may steer most from sitting in to eat. Maybe if they have a partition between dusty boxes with supplies and the tables laid out close to them. Back to food, eggdrop soup was good. I will try other foods if my stomach is free from negative feedback. Cash payment discount.“

“I just recently went there this last 01/30/23 to celebrate my husband and I’s birthday. We have went a bunch of time. The food is so good. I always get the chicken and filet mignon with rice rice and the scorpion bowl. It is always amazing. The pricing is fair considering and the did you get and the high quality of the food. I def recommend this place to anyone who wants a great Hibachi experience.“

“Izumi Sushi is the best Sushi joint in Iowa.“
