This is some of the freshest sushi I have ever had in this area!…read more Food: 5/5 I could not highlight more how fresh the fish tastes. The sushi in this area is mostly average, but this is comparable to the fresh servings I've had in Maui. Please go try the sushi. We also got the seafood pancake, which was not greasy and delicious, but noticed there wasn't as much seafood as I have seen in other seafood pancakes, more chives (which was still yummy). Miso soup and house salad was provided without us ordering it, unsure if it comes with every meal. Service: 5/5 no-frills service, food came out fast and no issues! Ambiance: sushi bar seats and tables for 4-6 people. Parking is fine, was not busy when we went. Soft music in the background. Bathroom was roomy and clean.

The staff was warm and welcoming when I arrived to pick it up. I ordered edamame and four different rolls to try: Mushroom Roll, Vegetable Roll, Asparagus Roll and Sweet Potato Roll. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Terrific value for the price! Looking forward to my next order.

Came here to celebrate hubby's birthday. The restaurant is beautifully decorated inside and the…read moreservice is really top notch. It was our first time there. We picked the middle tier option. We thought it was a little pricey but the quality of meats was very good. And the amount of food you get was really a lot and this is coming from a heavy hitter at AYCE restaurants. They also included dessert. I only wish they allowed for AYCE options AND à la carte options, like Gyuzo Japanese BBQ in Rockville. It turns out they're owned by the same company. You must come very hungry to get your money's worth.

My second time here…read more I do really like this area of Columbia and realize that I want to hang out here more often. When you arrive at the restaurant, the hostess greets you and ask if you have a reservation. Both times I've been here, it wasn't too busy but it was during the week. Service is really good. They're always very helpful in explaining the menu. We went with the AYCE Master option. The Legend option with the Wagyu looks appealing but I can't justify spending $88 a person. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem spending the money, since most of it goes to alcohol when we're having dinner anyways, but it was a really nice experience. This would be a place I would bring friends from out of town who want to have an experience similar what you would find NYC or Vegas. We had a really good time, especially on $10 margaritas and all you can eat meat. The presentation is really wonderful and I love the thought behind the presentation when it comes out. The Wagyu Fried Rice and Curry is one of the bests I've ever had. And the scallops with butter on the grill were awesome. Definitely a favorite. I will add the the iPad that you order with will start a timer for 90 minutes, and you can only put in an order every ten minutes which was annoying, so I did feel a bit of pressure with ordering. The time limit is to control time spent which makes sense if it was busy. I would have given 5 stars if it weren't for the wet mop smell we had during dinner, but don't know if it is because it was hot out and the AC was not blasting high enough with all the grills going off, so it was kind of hot and sticky during dinner. I may come back next time to check out Happy Hour next time! Vibes are actually pretty cool. Service is great.

Sushi rolls were all great and fresh. Yellow tail hibachi I was just a little different on the flavor , but it was very fresh and presented in a beautiful way. I also got Wago beef rice. Rice was great, very flavorful. but I was not a fan of the beef - It was couple huge pieces. Rea tender. Not your typical way of beef in fried rice. Yet fresh and good. I would come and try other dishes.

The shrimp tempura roll is great. The vegan ramen is also good with the green noodles (no idea what…read moremade them green) and the broth was nice too and not overly salty. It could have been more creamy and flavorful though. My favorite part of the ramen was the egg. It had a soy sauce flavor with a little sweetness. It was probably the best ramen egg I've had. The location is near the Columbia mall near main event which is kind of a trashy place. Anyways it's worth getting once in a while.

Loved the California cream roll, wished it was bigger than 6 rolls! The Yummi-yummi roll was also good, also wished it was bigger than 5 pieces. Waiter and hibachi chef were fun and helpful.

I felt like I was peeling my shoes off. do they put all the seasonings on the floor instead of their bland-ass food? aside from all the negative the service was pretty good. the servers were all nice and attentive. i understand that hibachi is more about the experience than the food, and the chefs did put on quite a good show. bathrooms were clean which is a plus because you'll spend the most time there. usually in restaurants you enter food into your body, but here I spent the most time having it exit. eat here if you're having trouble shitting for an easy laxative. eat here if you dont like good food :)
