“My absolute favorite restaurant in Knoxville. I’ve been coming since it opened about 12 years ago. The food is amazing and consistent. The staff is also very kind and attentive! I typically get the shrimp tempura roll and chicken hibachi. The prices are great and I always have leftovers, which taste just as good heated up the next day!“

“New review This used to be one of my favorite restaurants, but my family and I won’t be going back—and we can’t recommend it anymore. The last time my dad went in, the owner was surprisingly rude when my dad asked for a to-go order. We’ve done that before without any issue, but this time the owner shut it down in a way that felt really unnecessary. I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt—maybe it was just a bad day. But today sealed it for us. My mom stopped by around 2:00 to ask a quick question. The sign said they were open (it clearly said they closed at 2:30), but the owner told her he’d forgotten to switch it off and lock the door. Instead of just letting her leave on her own, he physically put his hand on her back and ushered her out. Not a hard push, he was pushing some to speed her up, it was embarrassing for her—she’s 72, and even that kind of “ushering” can be dangerous if she trips or loses balance. She walks at a normal pace, not slow so it was just rude. Honestly, life happens—I get that people close early sometimes. But there’s no reason to be rude, and absolutely no reason to touch someone like that. Not okay, and not worth supporting anymore. - - - Old review I have been eating here since before 2020. It is an amazing hidden Gem restaurant with a great owner and staff. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is very comfortable. I would recommend 10 out of 10 if I could.“
