I've never had a bad experience here. The food, service, drinks, and atmosphere are sublime. Probably the best sushi I've had. Simply amazing.

As a returning customer who once praised this establishment for its food, I’m left stunned at how catastrophically they failed me—not just in service, but in basic human decency. After a brutal 12-hour shift—one of many burdens I carry lately—I did what most hardworking people do: I sought a moment of comfort in a familiar meal. Instead, what I received was a disrespectful, disorganized, and emotionally exhausting experience that unraveled what little peace I had left in my day. I called ahead around 9:45 PM, well before their posted closing time of 10:00. Not only was I met with no courtesy, I was abruptly told, “we’re not taking any more orders,” and then hung up on. No explanation. No apology. No mention of a phone order cutoff—and certainly nothing about this arbitrary rule listed on their website or anywhere else. Just pure indifference. But rather than retaliate, I gave them the benefit of the doubt. I got in my car, burned my gas, and drove there in person—hoping to still get a warm meal. That choice, in hindsight, felt like walking willingly into disrespect. I waited another 30 minutes inside, exhausted, hungry, trying to salvage a night that was already falling apart. And for what? A meal so carelessly assembled it felt like an insult. I explicitly asked for no vegetables—a simple, reasonable request. Instead, I was handed fried rice absolutely flooded with onions, mushrooms, and worst of all: broccoli, my most hated food on this earth. I had to sit there, picking through the mess like I was doing surgery on my own dinner, still tasting the vegetables in every bite. It was disgusting, and I say that without exaggeration. And let’s be clear—this isn’t just about bad service. This is about psychological erosion. When you're exhausted, hungry, and barely keeping things together, even a small act of negligence can feel like betrayal. The disrespect, the confusion, the wait, and finally the inedible result? That’s not a bad night—that’s a complete emotional failure of customer care. It speaks volumes when an establishment prioritizes closing up shop over serving the very people who keep them in business. If your staff is so eager to leave that they can’t handle basic service or honor clear requests, maybe it’s time they reconsider the industry they’re in. Hospitality isn’t optional—it’s the foundation. And in this economy? Where money is tighter than ever, and people are working longer hours just to make ends meet? I wasted my hard-earned dollars on a meal I couldn’t even finish. That’s not just inconvenient—it’s infuriating. There was no ownership, no fix, no gesture of professionalism. Just a complete failure to deliver on every level. And the worst part? I’m not some first-time customer—I came in trusting them, expecting the same quality and care I once praised. What I got was the exact opposite—and it left a lasting impression, for all the wrong reasons. Bottom line: Their food being “good sometimes” is no longer enough to justify this level of chaos and carelessness. Businesses don’t thrive on food alone—they thrive on respect, consistency, and honoring the time, money, and dignity of the people who support them. And this place failed at all three.

Service could have been better, food was pretty good. Had the chicken and shrimp hibachi but the chicken wasn't great fatty and chewy. Waiter didn't come around very much. The guy bussing the tables brought us drinks to go because our waiter disappeared. Sushi would probably be the better choice.

This place has gone down……. We waited 25 minutes for a table and several servers walked by us several times and no one helped! Once we left we explained that nobody came to service us and they started acting like they don’t speak English!

Plenty of food on the plate, fresh and hot. The drink from the bar was cool but not cold. 1st time lots of space no wait on that day which was a Sunday.

Service and atmosphere were good but we all got different hibachi and tasted burnt. Do recommend the cat roll and playboy roll they were delicious

Excellent!!!

We had a wonderful experience. Don't live in Columbia but find ourselves there a few times a year. Will definitely come back. Food: fantastic! Very reasonable prices. My mom has an onion allergy and they were very accommodating.
Patricia Minnick
Food was fantastic. Sushi was very fresh. Nice size rolls and reasonably priced. Nice decor. Our waiter Craig was great. Friendly and attentive.

Was there with a full place and the service was great, little longer to get our food but still not a long wait with the influx of customers all at the same time. Really good portions and the food was great! Was a bit dark inside but just might be their vibe.
The food is amazing! We ordered the meat trio, tempura vegetables and shrimp, spicy teriyaki chicken, volcano roll, and dynamite roll. Everything, I mean, EVERYTHING was delicious! The atmosphere is great and classy vibes! Our waitress was amazing and attentive but not pushy or overbearing, great place to sit and have conversation with out distractions!

The wait would have been 20 minutes, so we went to the bar and sat down immediately.

Ok food, nice people BUT they charged more on my card than I signed off on. Extra fees were not disclosed. It is the principle of it.

Interesting atmosphere...more bar than restaurant. Everyone at my table ordered, but my order was brought almost ten minutes after everyone else's entre. Waiter was apologetic, but ultimately, it was not the server's fault. I ordered vegetable fried rice, but the only vegetables in the rice was bell pepper and onion. Will not be returning.
