The food is delicious and for the price I feel like I’m getting such an awesome deal!
Looking for a quick and reliable bite near the 460 intersection? This local gem may look like your typical Chinese takeout tucked into a modest strip—half storage, half kitchen—but don’t let appearances fool you. The staff runs a tight, uniformed ship and consistently delivers fresh, high-quality meals with friendly, scripted service and accurate wait times.
Whether you're grabbing takeout on the go or dining in, this spot hits the mark. The sushi is surprisingly solid for a quick stop, and it’s become one of my go-to recommendations for MVP clients moving through the area.
No delivery—but for dine-in or takeout? Absolutely worth the visit.

This has become a regular spot for our takeout nights. They have consistently tasty, fresh hibachi for a reasonable price, and the staff is pleasant. We get the hibachi chicken/shrimp, the hibachi filet/shrimp, and sometimes the crab rangoons. My spouse wasn't a huge fan of the teriyaki chicken, prefers the classic hibachi.
Great place to eat.
The chicken is cheap and nasty
The health inspection sign is hidden behind the drink machine and makes me wonder how bad the grade is.
I'm sure the quality of the food they serve is cheap and cooked improperly, after eating here my stomach was in knots
Amazing. Have never been disappointed. I've been going here since I was a kid! My order is right every single time, and they are very quick (except for dinner, but thats because they're so popular!). I go often with my fiance, and the man at the counter is always so sweet. It's a wonderful little place to eat whether you dine in or take out.

Amazing food at affordable prices. I always get tuna rolls when I crave them here. Fast and always good. In this economy it's amazing. If you get a hibachi meal it's usually enough food for two meals, usually. I've been eating here since they opened in my teens. I'm 35 now. I will back this place up forever. Don't change!

Very disappointed. I called and asked about if sauces were included. I was told they were.We ordered two apps and two entrees. No sauces.The scallops are pre breaded frozen Mrs. Paul's type. Was expecting seared pan fried. Not that deep fried junk.The spring rolls were the size of my index finger.Both our steak and shrimp and filet and shrimp were overcooked/charred.There were no veggies nor flavor in the fried rice. Just brown rice.The miso soup uggh may just have been me but not what I was expecting. Had chunks of tofu- blech!!We tried it. Won't be going back.

I get the chicken hibachi with steamed rice and you have to make sure you get a couple ounces of the white sauce to add over the top. The crab ragoon with duck sauce makes for a good side.

Every time I've visited this spot, it's amazing. I've never had a complaint. Prices are also pretty good for these days, had a huge lunch this afternoon for about 13 bucks! Thank you guys, as always.
