The food is made fresh and exactly how you order it. So happy the quality of the food has not gone down as it was with the previous tenants.

From the moment we walked in, the inviting atmosphere and the promise of Asian comfort food set a high bar that was met and exceeded, particularly with their delicious pad thai noodles and the irresistibly creamy crab Rangoon. The sushi selection, boasting fresh ingredients and innovative flavors, was a standout, showcasing the skilled chefs' dedication to the art of food. What truly made our visit exceptional was the service provided by Isaiah; his attention to detail, friendly demeanor, and willingness to go above and beyond made our dining experience feel personal and special. Their commitment to creating delicious memories is evident not just in the food but in their approach to hospitality.

This restaurant is beautiful inside, and really could not look better. truly a gorgeous interior and exterior with patio. I did not try the drinks, because I ordered carry out twice and after trying the food twice I think I'm ready to review. As with many Asian restaurants in the US, the spicy items are not anywhere close to being spicy. The spicy items are not just mild, they're very sweet as well. even if you order the spiciest heat level available, it is as mild as it could really be, which is a common problem amongst Asian restaurants in the west. moreover, the food in general needed more flavor. the fried rice needed more salt, soy sauce, fish sauce, msg, or just simply more salty flavor. the spring rolls were, in my opinion, too large and lacked flavor. but the biggest offender was the sushi that I ordered. I ordered a Maki roll, and it was abysmal. the rice was not sushi rice - it was just plain white rice. generally, sushi rice is made with rice vinegar, sugar, kombu kelp and salt mixed in with the rice while it's still warm. The rice in my sushi was just plain white rice, which made the sushi flavorless. also, there was no eel sauce, which is a must for this type of sushi, especially if the rice is not vinegared. the only item I enjoyed from my first order was the salt and pepper shrimp, which was not traditional, but was still pretty good, so I ordered it again the second time I placed an order. The host was very sweet when helping me with my order, but my order was wrong. They gave my calamari instead of shrimp, and it was rubbery and soggy instead of crispy. I tried to call back to hopefully correct the issue, but even though it was 20 minutes before closing, no one picked up the phone. so in conclusion, the restaurant itself is beautiful, the staff is very sweet, but the food is both not traditional, and unexciting. It is typical American fast food "Chinese" and poor quality sushi for a premium price. The spicy items are not spicy, the foods lacks flavor and excitement, and really needs to be of a better quality for the price. making a spring roll is not difficult - spring roll wrappers are less than a dollar, and ingredients to go inside are easy to come by - make these items from scratch, and add more salt to your fried rice. sushi rice should be made in the Japanese tradition, always. Kimchi is not homemade. The food really leaves a lot to be desired. I will not be back for food.

I rarely ever write reviews but I was pretty bummed about my experience. Our waiter was polite but overlooked us frequently while rushing to serve the tables around us. The Thai rolls were delicious. When my Pepper Steak came I expected it to at least have black pepper to spice it up but it was bland. I don't doubt other people enjoy this place but I have no desire to return. I would rather go to my usual, hidden in a shopping center, Asian restaurants that use real spices.
