“We travel on the road helping animal rescues in the south get their dogs and cats north. When we come home this is our GO TO place!!!“

“The atmoshpere was pleasant inside. We did go on a Tuesday about 6:30, so it wasn't super busy when we arrived. However, an hour later most tables were filled as we were leaving.Our waiter, Dequan, was super friendly and informative. He was great at offering suggestions and clarifications regarding the menu.For drinks, my daughter had the Brown sugar Boba milk tea, which she Saud was really good. I ordered the Moonstone coconut lemongrass sake, which I also enjoyed!.We ordered the Kani Salad, which was tasty with the fresh avocado slices. My daughter ordered the sesame balls which had a good red bean paste but the rest of the ball was not very flavorful.We each ordered a bowl of Ramen, spicy beef for me and tonkotsu shoyu for her. Both were fresh and tasty.There was plenty of leftovers to take home with us.We will eat here again. Thank you, Dequan, for a pleasant first experience at Hokkaido Ramen House! ?“

“I had lunch and ordered À la carte. I had Hokkigai (surf clam), Tako (octopus), Hamachi (yellowtail), and a Hamachi roll with jalapeno roll that I had them add Masago to. It was very good especially the roll so I ordered another along with some Sake (salmon). It was all very good and I enjoyed the experience and my weight was super nice.“

“Had an absolute blast at Ganbei! The Singapore noodles were so good, they made me forget I was in neither Singapore nor Japan! And that peanut butter dessert? It was so tasty, I almost licked the plate clean!But the real surprise was the fried ice cream. We're talking about a mind-blowing combo! It was like eating a crispy cloud with a surprise inside!Big shoutout to the friendly guy working there – his warm welcome and attentive service made the dining experience even better.Overall, Ganbei is a must-visit for a hilarious and delicious dining adventure. Trust me, you'll leave with a smile and a happy belly! Five stars !“

“Nice quick service hibachi. Staff was friendly. They have a few common rolls. Vegetable Hibachi was loaded with broccoli, carrots, and mushrooms!The seating area could use some fresh paint.Vegetarian options: They have the vegetable hibachi.“

“I can say they are still good people left in this world. I could not find my wallet all weekend and I remember coming to Tokyo grill in Lexington last week. When I called they said they had it and everything was still in it. Their food is always so amazing and their staff is honest. Best place in town to eat always.“

“The first time I had this place the food was good, so it made me want to come back. So I did and the rice and meat was all dried out it had an after taste to it. Only thing we loved moving forward was the cheese steak egg roll. Then they over charge for the sauce. Employees are nice tho“
