“I’ve been going to Tokyo & Mandarin since I was about 5 years old . I’m now 16. This is definitely a very calm environment and I love that. The service and food is always amazing! My sister and I go often. They’ve never disappointed. I wish they still had hibachi on Sunday but I understand understaffing. The family that runs it is always so polite and hospitable. The waitress that is there every single day is the sweetest woman and amazing at her job! 100/10 recommend.“

“A Comforting Culinary Experience that I would recommend

Asian Habachi and Sushi offers a truly comforting dining experience. The Tom Yam Chicken Soup was a particular highlight, evoking nostalgic feelings of home with its familiar and flavorful broth. The friendly and attentive staff created a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, making the dining experience even more enjoyable.
The soup itself was expertly prepared, balancing heat and flavor perfectly. Despite its generous portion, it was surprisingly light and easy to digest, leaving a pleasant feeling of satisfaction. The accompanying hot green tea, served in traditional ceramic ware, added to the authentic and cozy ambiance.
Overall, this restaurant is a delightful place to enjoy a delicious and comforting meal.

They also have clean bathrooms.“

“I can’t believe I’ve never left a review for this restaurant. We love it! They are not Japanese, they are Cantonese Malaysian.

We get a whole roast duck usually takeout and on weekends they have crispy roast pork.

They just introduced dim sum.

Beef chow fun is solid.“

“Wow the dishes in the menu is endless. From japanese to Thai, yiu can pretty much get most of Asian food. The owner is very friendly and so 😁 funny. We ordered Roti for an appetizer , Laksa mee hoon, Kang pao chicken, and drunken noodle with beef for the main. Roti was my favorite and Laksa was hubby's.“

“It’s a slow lunch day today so everything came out very quick. I came in around 2:30pm got the lunch special. For what you get , a drink , a soup and entree , this is a great choice for quick Asian fare , my lunch after tip was under $15. The cashier recommended me the bourbon chicken which was very good and the tea tasted fresh and clean as well. I am a stickler for clean tea urns and they definitely passed the check on that. The restaurant is very clean and I am happy to say I am looking forward to bringing my mother back here to share one of these big egg rolls.“

“The food and service are good, come here a lot mainly pickup but also dine in. The only complaint I have is the removal of sushi from the menu, it was sooo good. Please bring this back. Also I am baffled by the closing on Saturday, such an odd day to be closed for a restaurant.“

“Absolutely love this place! The Korean food is outstanding easily some of the best I’ve had anywhere. Every Korean dish I’ve tried has been full of flavor and totally satisfying. If you’re specifically craving authentic Korean cuisine, this spot is a hidden gem.

Just a heads-up: if you’re in the mood for more general Asian dishes like hibachi or sushi, this probably isn’t the place for that. But for Korean food? It’s 10/10 and always hits the spot.

Some of my go-to favorites are the jajangmyeon (noodles in a rich black bean sauce , don’t be scared, it looks super dark because of the beans, but it doesn't taste like beans, I promise!), tteokbokki (chewy rice cakes in a sweet and spicy sauce), and the bulgogi (marinated beef that’s tender, savory, and slightly sweet). All three are flavorful, comforting, and delicious you really can’t go wrong with any of them.

The ambiance isn’t the best, but honestly, the food speaks for itself. And if that bothers you, you can always grab it to go. The older lady who works there is always so kind and clearly works incredibly hard she really makes the whole experience feel warm and welcoming.

I seriously wish there were more places like this. Highly recommend for anyone who loves real Korean food at a great price“

“Great sushi and other food.“

“Customer service is amazing. Food is beyond delicious.“
