This is by far the worst restaurant I ever visited. They try to make it seem nice with cheap dim lighting and cheap furniture. The cashier (lady) was very rude, unprofessional and not very much help. I am a person of color and I hate to pull this card but I felt very much discriminated because she was very nice talkative and eager to people of non color. The food is terrible. If you want hibachi this is not the place to go because when you ask for hibachi they give you something completely different… it taste nothing like hibachi and the sushi tastes like you could Buy the same brand at wegmans or price rite. Not a good atmosphere for a date very small area and with a long line you won’t be able to enjoy your food I usually don’t leave reviews but the lady had me very disappointed when I asked to buy some yum yum sauce and the lady yelled at me I was very polite the whole time because I have manners but this lady and the chef made the Easter dinner experience horrible . I’d rate this place a zero if I could bro I swear. Very watery food , bland chicken, more veggies than meat , they don’t serve fried rice. They don’t give you much rice, the list goes on I shouldn’t have to come home and season food I paid for. I ate at over 22 hibachi places on the east coast and this one ain’t it.

Called to ask what time they close and the answer was I don't know. A business should have specific closing

The good: 1. Reasonable prices 2. The salad under the shrimp was fresh. 3. Plenty of waterThe Bad: 1. So dark that it was hard to read the menu 2. Was told that no fried rice was available & had to get white rice. 3. There was an altercation between staff and someone who came in off the street. 4. I tried to order two fried bananas and was told to order one. I ordered one.....my date and I finished it & then ordered another one (which we finished as well). 5. The table we sat at was ready to fall apart. 6. Bathroom was down the hall outside the restaurant. 7. No strawsProbably a good place for college kids but that's about it.

Very good sushi with attentive service. We tried five rolls and recommend the Rock'n Roll and Rainbow Rolls. Miso soup could use more ginger, but was tasty.Chinese was the language used behind the counter.

Legitimately the best sushi I've ever had. I got two rolls and my wife got chicken katsu and miso soup. The entire meal was less than 50 dollars after tax (before tip), and I was stuffed to the brim and had leftovers! The owner was the one who served us and she was lovely. We'd been working all day and just wanted a late bite to eat. This was the only place open that seemed even remotely appetizing so we tried it out and I'm glad we did. Now in my top 5 favorite restaurants in Syracuse.Great service, amazing food, and the atmosphere reminded me of a small place in NYC. Loved every second of it.Vegetarian options: There was a whole veggie section as well as many other options mixed in. Tofu was also in several dishes.Dietary restrictions: You could easily eat gluten free, vegetarian, low carb (go heavier on the meat and less on the rice), and other stuff.

As a student, I've ordered from here countless times through delivery apps and have dined once in person. What keeps me coming back every time is the service. I've found that no matter where I order from, it's always the owner who delivers. He know right where to go (there's almost always confusion with other deliveries on campus), and he is ALWAYS ahead of schedule, and sends a picture of where he drops off the food if he doesn't hand it to you directly. These people are HUSTLING, and yet they don't compromise consistently good food. Of course, it's not the best sushi in the world, but it's perfect for college students to get a quick meal in between studying. Now for my in-person experience. Honestly, if I had seen the restaurant before having eaten food from here, it would have caused some hesitation. It doesn't give the vibe of being very sanitary and the woman working wasn't quite as friendly as I had expected based off of their delivery service. Regardless I appreciate what they do and haven't been able to find a restaurant that suits my needs quite like they do. I probably wouldn't dine-in again, but I will definitely continue to order from here in the future.

One of, if not the best sushi place in syracuse! Fish is very fresh. The salmon sushi dinner and tako su are my favorite. A must try if you like sushi and live around Syracuse!

This unassuming hole-in-the-wall restaurant was the best surprise of our weekend. It was so wonderful that we went twice in two days. Everything we ordered was delicious. The Valentine roll was especially amazing. Fast and friendly service was a bonus. If we lived locally, we'd be regulars.

i order here all the time. food is ok, but lady on the phone is always rude and delivery always takes over an hour

Ordered more than 60 times from this restaurant (just because they deliver fast, the food is just average). This is my first dine-in, the place is dirty and the service is terrible. Worst of all, the waiter was rude and forced us to tip more at the end!! I will never order from here again!
