Reviews

The sushi is always delicious. We have always enjoyed it. Service is good and the food presentation is great.

The food was pretty good for the $$. We had combo fried rice, combination yakisoba, teriyaki salmon and unagi beef. We enjoyed everything. We should have eaten there but we were all tired. Will have to sit at the hibachi bar next time we're in town.

Good food and service. Im a hibachi fan so i like to sit at hibachi tables if i eat in. Take out is just as good.

My family loves to eat here and we are regulars of this place! Our favorites is the spicy udon and the chicken hibachi fried rice! I also recommend getting the crab rangoons. The service is fast and they are usually very helpful! It's a good place for the price and have great bento boxes!
Great food every Time we go... waitstaff needs to be a bit more professional and not eat during their break in front of customers then go tend tables but for the most really good place
