And the food should be more fresher. Otherwise, it is a good value especially for large family with kids. The desert selection is nice and the parking is convenient.

“It's a small place and we had a long wait for brunch. We went across the street to Southern grist to wait it out. We loved the upon. It was like a Japanese carbonara. The egg salad took me back to 7/11 in Japan. We also enjoyed the tartare and katsu sando.“

“Hands down the best sushi in town. The owner is amazing and always greets me by name when I walk in. She truly makes it feel like home. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and made with care. If you have not tried it yet, you are missing out.“

“amazing food, experience and service. Tyler did an outstanding job. it was our first time there, but it won't be the last!“

“Found a nice little restaurant tucked away. The employees were super nice. This location is a decent size. It looks tiny but mighty. Definitely the mom and pop vibe that makes you feel the staff actually wants to be there. Lots of great options on the menu. From sushi to udon. The menu definitely complements each item so you really can’t go wrong. We wanted something small and light. We ordered creamy udon with chicken. A simple but delicious dish. Almost like a sweet creamy cheesy Korean Alfredo sauce with a hint of corn. Juicy onion slices. The chicken was cooked perfectly. Not overcooked had a moist texture and flavor. It’s a very simple dish not much to it just simple traditional flavors. A dish that is very easy to mess up by this was the best one I have had in a while. Very reasonably priced. All together we spend about 15 bucks each before tip. Next time when we have more time we will try more variety. They menus looks great and the liquor selection is wonderful. We definitely recommend this place.“

“First time for us go eat there Friday night! It was amazing! The food was amazing. You get plenty, and the people were amazing.“

“Everytime me and my wife go here for date night they make it so enjoyable. They laugh and talk while they cook the food. The atmosphere is just unbelievable. I absolutely love this place. If I could afford to eat here atleast twice a week I would no doubt.“

“Fantastic meal! Love the menu. We sat outside but beautifully elegant ambience inside. About an hour or so before we walked over to eat I stopped in and got a menu and the ladies at the hostess podium were super kind. When we came back we were again met by a very helpful employee, Delilah. She sat us immediately and ended up being our server for the meal. She was thorough and knowledgeable. The service and the meal were perfect! We will absolutely be regularly returning and we will be requesting Delilah every time. Great experience and I would highly recommend this place to anyone! P.S.- They do lunch from 12-3pm, happy hour (including apps) from 3-6pm. And apparently they have a rooftop (kid friendly) open on Friday & Saturday evenings until 12am.“

“"We ate at Kayne Prime for our Honeymoon and Everyone was above and beyond our expectations. The food was incredible and the service was top notch. Thank you again for such a memorable experience. Steve & Kathy Anderson"Copy review“

“I could rave about this place all day long. I got the butterfly roll and it was delicious, but the real star was the side of mixed vegetables. I mean seriously I am gonna be thinking about them 12 years from now. I need that sauce in a bottle.“

“This fried chicken we got was next level DELICIOUS, from the breading, to the chicken seasoning, and that special sauce it came with. Yum!!! Highly recommended! The portion is large and priced reasonably. We found this place online and was skeptical at first since it’s not a traditional set up restaurant, turned out to be such a hidden gem! You can find many different restaurants in this food hall. We can’t wait to come back and try more food soon“

“I love this place, mom and pop owned. Great food, friendly service. Prices are great. For what you would pay at a fast food for junk you can have real meat, veggies and rice. Hands down a much better option. They cook everything fresh to order and have drive thru!!“

“Old school japanese restaurant. 👍👍“

“Good food, atmosphere and nice to have Chinese food dine in again. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because the young lady at the register was having a bad day and brought it to work with her despite us trying to be nice. Get off your phone and check the attitude at the door.“
