“My wife and I spent a night in San Antonio celebrating our anniversary and came here for dinnee on the recommendation of a friend. Great little neighborhood tucked away between the Pearl district and River Walk and we walked on the River Walk to get here from our hotel. She started off with a miso fish broth that was the best miso soup we've ever had--really light on the fish flavor to the point it was there, but didn't overshadow the miso. The Arkami Carpaccio was next and was also one of the best things we've ever eaten. The waygu tartare was a little sweet (must have been some kind of light Japanese sauce stirred in to it before plating over sushi box rice, but anyone else would probably love it--I'm just not a sweets guy). my Snowcrab nigiri was also very good as well as my wife's sampling of various other fish. Ambiance and Atmosphere were both pleasant with anime playing on one TV and some pretty seating outside. Service was friendly and made us feel important somehow. It's a little pricey, but for an aniversary worth every penny. The matcha ipa was very good, too. 5 stars for sure!“
“Can’t say enough great things about this restaurant! We dine here frequently and it’s always delicious with excellent service. The staff is so attentive and really care about the guests experience. Food is always so good- highly recommend!!“

“Food and atmosphere was amazing but what really stood out to me was the quality of service from my server Eva. She was extremely kind and respectful and constantly checked up on our table. Definitely took our experience at the restaurant to a whole different level. I can safely say I’ll be back very soon!“
“I love this place best and freshest sushi and sashimi. Stumbled on this place for lunch ended up booking for the Valentine’s Day 5 course meal it was great! I usually don’t like seafood but this changed my mind for sure. We will definitely keep coming here 10/10 for sure.“
“A nice date night place if you want to throw down on good Japanese food. The all you can eat menu is decently priced. Food comes out prompt and delicious and the wait staff are great, bear in mind the place gets busy but that is imo an indicator of a good place to be. Come hungry!“
“Our family enjoys eating here. The food is pretty good, the food presentation is nice, fish has always been fresh when we have gone. The atmosphere is authentic Japanese decor. The service is hit and miss. The employees are kind, but sometimes you feel they forgot about you. Maybe servers ? talking too much with other servers by the computer ?. I would still highly recommend this place if you love Sushi.Parking: Restaurant is tucked back in the corner, so you have to drive all the way back in the parking lot and it's tight. Cross your finger if there is an open spot because if not you have to back all the back if you're in a truck but if you're in a car you'll have to make a 4 point turn to turn around.“
“They have the best customer service and I will have to say the freshest sushi I have ever had. We got fatty tuna, tuna, fatty salmon, salmon, fatty yellowtail, and sea urchin. Everything was perfect and extremely delicious. We ended up ordering the same exact order twice because it was so good.“

“Yea, this is the spot you want. Sushi is done right, and so is everything else on the menu. The atmosphere felt classy without being pretentious, humble for the quality, and very inviting. Our server, Willy, was attentive and intuitive, there when we needed him without pestering us.“
“One of my favorite sushi restaurants to eat in San Antonio. The food is always excellent. The spicy edamame is a great starting appetizer for any occasion. Friendly staff and laidback, casual vibes which I appreciate. I also enjoy when they have live music. Overall it’s a gem.“
“I just had the most amazing Chinese food experience! The place was super cute, the food was incredibly tasty and wonderful, and the staff were beyond helpful. I highly recommend it to anyone craving delicious Chinese cuisine. You won't be disappointed!" The sushi was on point also!!“
“After spending two years in Japan it has been difficult to find ramen that is halfway decent. Hero’s has been the best we’ve found! It’s almost like being in Japan ? Love the food, service, and the 5 different anime shows going at any time. Best ramen is a tie between Hero’s spicy miso and the spicy tantan! Only wish the gyoza was pan seared instead of fried, but it doesn’t stop me from ordering it almost every time.“
“Good dinner with fresh food prepared with great sauces. Service was attentive and fast, excellent. The room is a bit noisy. Price is justified by the overall quality of the food and service. Sushi was somewhat ordinary but we chose something more standard and was good quality.“
“Went for the first time last week. Put on an order online, and decided to try the Geisha Bowl to go. I requested to sub the sriracha aioli for the creamy wasabi and requested it on the side. When I picked up the order the girl behind the counter was friendly and had nice customer service. The place looked clean and cute inside. My only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars for customer service is because the creamy wasabi was mixed into the bowl and not on the side , making it a little more than I expected, and it left me wondering what the sirracha aioli would’ve been like? All said, it was still delicious and I’ll try something different next time!“
“We came here to celebrate a birthday and everything was just perfect. The staff was super friendly and attentive. The gentleman who cooked our teppanyaki was so funny and entertaining. The food was all really good and it was so much that we all have leftovers for lunch tomorrow.“
“This is certainly a hidden gem. Do not let location cloud your judgment. This was a great experience. Stopped by and our server Josue G. walked us through the menu. Calamari was tender and very crunchy. Our sushi was excellent. We both ordered the cucumber salad and were very happy with our selection. The prices are great and reasonable. Wife had sushi, I had General Tso. Crunchy tender cuts of chicken served over a sweet brown sauce. You can really taste the sesame oil. Delicious. I had to order another oder of egg rolls they were so good. My new favorite spot.“
“Went by myself the other day. Had the Ribeye (med-rare) and a side order of Gyoza. Gyoza was like 8 pcs to my surpise so it's more like an order for 2. Ribeye wasn't too bad, better than most, but nothing to really write home about either. Overall I liked it more for the experience than the food and def reccomend you come with a party. Might come back with the fam and will probably try something else next time.“
“We were happy to find this highly rated sushi restaurant open a little later on a Saturday night. We ordered a pot of hot green tea to share. My husband ordered some smoked salmon, yellow tail, tuna, and shrimp nigiri sushi & sashimi. I ordered the Iku Iku roll and Wild Goji Signature Roll based on reviews. I loved both of the rolls and we enjoyed everything! Very tasty and appealing to the eye. Atmosphere was quieter and mellow. Exactly what we were looking for. We have found a new sushi favorite in SA.“
“Love this place!! I'm very Allergic to avocado, This is one of the few places that I have found. That will make my sushi without the avocado and remember not to cross. Contaminate with using the same knives, Sushi roller or cutting boards. Beyond those safety measures particular lee for me, the sushi is amazing. My favorite is the ceché roll!Dietary restrictions: They have always been careful to not Cross contaminate when I have explained my allergy to avocado.“
“This place rocks!! The reason why i am a regular at this restaurant is because of the great customer service, the atmosphere & the food. When you sum it all up, that's what makes this restaurant the best Japanese restaurant based out of SA.Photo features The Jalapeno Tempura Poppers!! So good!“
“Loved the sushi here! We ordered the San Antonian roll, the Habanero roll, and the Tricolor roll and they were all really tasty. My husband ordered the Chirashi bowl which has sashimi, seafood, fish roe, and Japanese rolled egg over rice. We enjoyed it all and every last bite. Prices were as expected for sushi and I did feel the rolls were a generous size. We left satisfied. The location has a moderate amount of seating. Good service and relaxed atmosphere. Great place for lunch or dinner.Parking: There are a few parking spaces dedicated to Sushi Seven right up front.“
“WOW-! Ive been going to Asoko for around a year to two and they have never failed me-! They had really nice servers and very friendly! We ordered big daddy roll, yakisoba, ikura, spicy scallop (I think) and can’t name the other sushi, and some skewers, but I recommend all of them. They gave us ice cream tempura for my parents anniversary, and it was delicious! We also ordered some green tea ice cream which is something we ate even if our buttons were bursting ? For those who reads to know, Yes there is a nice clean bathroom! Recommendations and reminders: lunch and dinner menus are different and you won’t be able to have any lunch items when it’s dinner hours. U recommend getting a sushi roll if you like them, the ingredients are conveniently placed and you can pick from there, I like the big daddy and one of the salmon rolls they are the best-! To summarize: Great food, amazing servers, nice bathrooms, amazing desserts, and I would recommend this place to anyone-!“
“This is by far the best restaurant I have visited in a while. Great food, and I loved our waiter who brought me a couple of tiny sipping cups so I could try a different wine than what I normally get. They're constantly coming to check on you regardless if it's their table or not. Love love it here. Quiet and friendly who could ask for anything more“
“Pho flavor was very mild and average. Not bad, but not great either. Ingredients were nice and fresh though. I couldn’t eat more than 2 bites of the 420 tots. Such a weird and foreign mix of flavors with a very intense smell. The smell was something like cat food or fish food flakes. Atmosphere and boba were fantastic. Cute place with a little Asian store inside.“
“Great place if you enjoy loud live Mexican Banda & Norteño music. Food is ok. Drinks are expensive and decent. Overall its a good place to enjoy being out withoit the need of being in a club! Plus the kitchen is open all night!! So you eat, drink, sing, dance...repeat!!!Kid-friendliness: See kids here all the time. There are a few games and a balloon clown that makes awesome balloon art!!!“
“This is the perfect happy hour spot. 3pm - 6pm. We started with a soju and sake. Only true complaint we had was the soju was warm. Everything else was simply delicious. I would definitely recommend the bang bang shrimp out of all the options we tried. Our server was great. She wasn't pushy or over bearing. She came right on time every time.“
“This place was amazing!! Madison, our server was on point ??. Did I mention the sushi and appetizers are to die for?! Please look at other reviews and pics…make sure to try at least one app and main dish….their flan was amazing!!… We will be back!! New favorite spot in the SA!!Vegetarian options: Just ask and they will accommodate.!! They have salads, they have vegetarian sushi, they will work with you ?Dietary restrictions: There is different portions for different taste.“

“My server was Mattie and she was fantastic! First time ever at Kona Grill and she made great recommendations. The chicken Pad Thai was delicious! Oh and the butter cake for dessert! I cannot recommend her or this food enough! I’ll be back for sure. Thank you to all the staff seen and unseen for creating an awesome experience.“
“As always, teh food at Botika was outstanding! Their menu has a variety of great dishes and sushi! The location at the Pearl in San Antonio could not be better, facing Hotel Emma! The service always very good! The have a very good variaty of beer, wine, and liquor. Can't wait to be back!“
“Decent enough Asian food with generous serving sizes. The food won’t wow you, and the duck here is dry, but the chicken dishes I’ve gotten are pretty good for the price, and I’ve never had issues with carry out - the staff is friendly and always have orders ready in no time.“
“the food was fresh & delicious, you can really tell the cooks & sushi chefs know what they're doing. sushi & nigiri was so good but the surprising star of the bento box was the tempura shrimp & vegetables. they give you a good portion & the batter is so light & airy, it retains that crispness so well & is not soggy at all. I highly recommend it. the only thing i wouldn't get again is the hot tea, it was fine. the bento boxes are also a really great deal because of the portion size as well as the variety you get. everything we ordered, including the norteño roll, was shareable & if you ordered 2-3 entrées its enough food for 4-5 people easily. there was only 2 of us & we had 2 full boxes of leftovers. the place is a little older & it can use some updates (especially the restroom& serving plates/bowls/cups) but it was still a clean cozy space. i cant wait to go back & try different rolls & the sake.“
“Had the small sashimi plate, miso soup, and mochi ice cream for dessert; all were delicious and well worth the money. Staff was friendly and polite. It's a really quaint little shop, too, with lots of cute traditional Japanese decor. Overall a great place to go for a light meal.I should add that my dad loved his San Antonio Rolls.“
“Skip KONA and drive down the street 4mins from La Cantera to this little hidden gem!! Fresh rolls with great sushi rice and DELICIOUS seaweed salad. The prices are VERY good and the portions are fair and flavorful. This is gonna be from now on a go to place of mine.“
“Great place, great food. Server was initially very attentive and nice, but then seemed to kinda disappear. We had to ask someone else for refills and a to-go container. We will certainly go back. Things happen. Just kept me from putting 5 states on service.“
“We had a great experience. Honestly, we did not expect the food to be this delicious. The spicy tuna roll was first class, tuna was fresh and high grade as well as the avocado and cucumber. One of the best I’ve had. The pork gyoza was crunchy and tasty. The noodles were the best plate, the vegetables were crispy and tender, the entire plate just flowed with authentic asian flavors. Highly recommended for a quaint, date night. A modern, contemporary place with a blast from the past. Hard to explain but with a nice, classy atmosphere.“
“I went yesterday and everything was delicious but in my opinion the fried rice wasn’t fried correctly. It didn’t taste like fried rice. I forgot to take a picture of it.The appetizers and the rolls were pretty good. We order the calamari, the soft shell crab, the habanero and Tokyo roll.“
“Came here for date night and had the most incredible experience. Absolutely wonderful food. We got 6 rolls plus a gansito roll for dessert and left super full and with no complaints. Will definitely have to come back and explore more of the menu!“
“What's the best sushi place! Excellent service, excellent food an all-around great. I asked for a veggie roll that's not on the menu and they went above and beyond not just some carrots and cucumbers they actually put some real thought into it broccoli mushrooms carrots and more it was delicious was cooked a little bit as well which made it even better. Definitely plan on being a regular.Vegetarian options: veggie roll that's not on the menu and they went above and beyond not just some carrots and cucumbers they actually put some real thought into it broccoli mushrooms carrots and more it was delicious was cooked a little bit as well which made it even better.

“Super delicious food! Recommend anyone wanting to try a sushi burrito to try it here or any of their other foods that they have.Super quick service. Easy pick up and delivery. Let’s you customize your order as well.I’ve ordered my items online before coming to the place. At first I was confused how to pick up my food because it was one of those places that will put your food in lockers and you pick it up from there. This was a new experience for me since I never seen a restaurant do this, but it was easy once I figured if out. I really love how quick they are with preparing your order and how you can customize your order to your liking.“
“The sushi is incredible! They usually have specials and the servers are all great and efficient. You may have a small wait but it’s well worth it! Make sure you arrive with your entire party to get seated as quickly as possible. If it’s a table for two, you probably won’t wait too long. I recommend the Nama roll or the samurai roll if you like a little spice! The spicy beef ramen is delicious and not very spicy so don’t be scared to try it!They don’t have high chairs so if you have toddlers it’s not a good option for dining in.“
“Excellent flavor with delicious sauces. Very fast and friendly service. Ambient interior. Great for a date.? Loved the well portioned dishes my baby and I got: Szechuan Chicken, Hot & Spicy House Triple Delight and Pork Fried Rice. Sooo delicious. Loved our waitress.“
“The food tasted pretty fresh and the boba tea was perfectly sweet (mild sweetness compared to most places without having to adjust the sweetness level), and didn’t have too much ice. I got a tofu poke bowl and it was super flavorful, some restaurants have super bland tofu dishes ? was pleasantly surprised overall“
“I rarely leave restaurant reviews, but I had the best Panang curry of my life from Dahlia Thai! I’ve eaten this dish at many Thai restaurants and this was the best version I’ve ever had. The curry was very flavorful and nicely spiced / flavored. (I’ve had a lot of Panangs that are just a lightly sweet coconut broth - this was the opposite of that). Rice portion was on the smaller side but no biggie.“
“We were SO impressed with this place! We called to see what their wait was and they said that it varies because it was hibachi but that they don’t cook in front of you. We decided to give it a try. SOOO glad we did. It’s definitely more of a take out place, but they do have a seating area for dine in. Our son (3) was having a blast being able to walk around since it wasn’t crazy crowded or busy. A bunch of take out orders did come in but no other dine ins. The staff were all so nice and friendly. Chef Chris did an AMAZING job and our food was delicious. Definitely will be making this our go to hibachi spot!Kid-friendliness: Our 3 year old was just running around being chaotic as 3 year olds are but the staff were so nice and never complained or asked him to sit. He had a great time and ate all of his food which is definitely an achievement.“
“Definitely make a reservation if you plan on going. Aaron the hibachi chef is a must if you go! Awesome personality, very welcoming, amazing customer service, and is very interactive with all his guests. He is very talented and will put on a great show for you. Normally I go to hibachi places but sit at a regular table, but this place only has hibachi tables to sit at. Was definitely worth the trip. Would highly recommend and will definitely be going again.“
“Been to this place several times and it always has great service and delicious food! Our server was named Caleb, he was nice and charismatic so if you get the chance to, ask for him as your server! The food can be a little pricey but it’s definitely worth the money and if you have any food left, it makes great left overs! This place is great for a date or for a group celebration or gathering!“
“A lot of food. Shrimp, fish, crawfish, crabs, ribs and all the food was hot at all times. The only PROBLEM I see here is they put too much salt on some dishes. I don't know if they do it on purpose so u don't grab more or it's just the recipe. Also i think it's a little overpriced. Other than that. I will probably come back again.“
