Unfortunately, there were more misses than hits. Hot sour soup good, maybe just a drop more vinegar to give it that great zing. Veggie tempura - 10 for freshness of all the veggies, but needs quality panko. Mostly, the dipping sauce gets 0. Delicious dashi base stock was replaced by thick, sticky glazey sauce and duck sauce??.. c'mon. Lastly, the three rolls - please, use proper vinegared rice ( which is actually the sushi ). Not even the flavor of the fishes were able to fight through. The exception being the 'spicy' sauce on the tuna, but Kewpie mayo needs to be used and I am too old fashioned and traditional to enjoy the crushed panko undercoat. I lived in Japan for 10 years, so my palate demands the basics. All of the misses can be corrected with a little care.

Food was fantastic! The waitress, Jillian, was a gem, and also incredibly helpful helping me make decisions about different items on the menu.
I wasn’t a huge fan of the location itself, but the food was delicious and plated beautifully. I will certainly be back!

The restaurant is really cold with only sparse space heaters. The food is mediocre and they tried to charge a credit card fee. When asked about the fee they were quite rude about it.
I wouldn't recommend it and I wouldn't come back.

The food was disgusting. I got takeout and the lady at the front looked confused. We ordered Pad Thai and the food was NOTHING like the traditional dish. It was rice noodles with a sour overly sweetened broth. Pad Thai is a dish with a well balanced flavor of sour, sweet, and nutty sauce over rice noodles. Which was not what they gave us. They gave us dry rice noodles with an oily broth that left an aftertaste of artificial sweetener. Their wontons were nasty as well. The sauce was way too sweet and the wonton itself tasted like the oil it was fried in was dirty. This was my Moms birthday dinner. And it was the worst Asian food experience we’ve ever had. I will say though the restaurant is nice inside. The food is just not authentic.

The food is really good. I especially like the fried rice and the egg rolls and sauce. The portions are large. Chocolate fortune cookies are tasty!
