“Some of the best dumplings I've ever had. The staff is friendly and hospitable and the restaurant is clean and comfy. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try!“

“Some of the best hibachi that I have had in Knoxville!! Bubble tea is also delicious. They give a large portion of food which is also great. The couple that run the restaurant are so sweet. Small family-owned vibes. My partner also got the katsu curry and he loved it. We highly recommend!!“

“I love the food and the service. It is always hot and fresh-made. I have never had a bad meal. The staff are always so nice. It’s got a small dining room which is always clean. Overall a great place to dine in or do a pick up. I would recommend this place for anyone in South Knoxville.“

“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.“

“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.“

“My wife and I absolutely love this place! Food is always fresh and flavorful. I ordered the create-a-wok with kung pao chicken, veggies, and brown rice. The portion sizes and price are great as well. We also love how clean the restaurant is. Most of the time when you go to restaurants these days there always crumbs or something still on the table or seat, not here. It’s always spotless.“

“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.“

“My husband eats lunch at this restaurant from time to time during work and suggested we go together on the weekend. He thought I would enjoy it. I had the Singapore Noodles and they were wonderful! Just enough curry, and plenty of rice noodles cooked just right. I think I found a new favorite Asian restaurant. The menu has lots to choose from so I can't wait to try some of the other dishes!“

“Great sushi and other food.“

“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“

“One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. Food was fresh and perfectly prepared. Large portions. And superior service ! We will definitely be back.“
