We got water and drinks. Then we did get the soup and apps somewhat timely. But then we sat for an hour with no refills on soda or water, no check ins, nothing. We had to ask them to box the food and bring the checks out so we could leave. And THAT took at least ten minutes. The food is great, but the service was atrocious.

We always come here for any special occasion. But today was Mother's Day so I wanted some steak and shrimp stir fry on the hibachi grill. The comedic show from the chef was really entertaining and the boys of course caught the flying vegetables in their mouths but I passed on that . Prices are on par with other habachi restaurants. We almost always get the steak because it is very good quality and cooked to order. My boys ordered the noodles and I ordered the rice . Both were excellent. Their lunch or dinner combo comes with a miso , mushroom soup that my son always wants another. The traditional Asian inspired salad comes with it as well. The chef seems to really want to please the parties and I like that. The many times we have dined here led us to becoming casual friends at the grill because you sit with 6 to 8 other guests. If you haven't tried hibachi, you really should . This restaurant is clean, comfortable, and the food is great. Prices are a little higher than a regular restaurant but it's so worth it. When I brought my sister here for her birthday all the servers came around and congratulated her. They put a balloon birthday hat on her head. If you need a little smile and you like stir fry custom made to your liking, come here. You will be happy you did.

They have a few tables if you want to dine in but it's intended be a to-go establishment. Most items on the menu are cooked but you can get raw as well. The service is cold and abrupt but efficient. As far as quality, it's better than the prepackaged sushi from Hannaford and Mei Wei but it's not exceptional.

Phenomenal rolls…read more We had the Tempura Shrimp Masago. 10 solid stars out of 10. Ridiculously good. Crisp in the middle. Legit tastes. Great display. So good we got another to go, for later. General Tso chicken (an American invention)... My son swears it was excellent. He said yes, 10/10. Spicy tuna hand rolls. Excellent taste. The size was standard... If you really want excellent spicy tuna hand rolls, that are larger, then go to IKKO 2. .. I give them 11/10 because they're LEGIT flavor and about 2x the spicy tuna than most places. Anyway. . . Rainbow Roll. Also fantastic. 10/10. Perfect. The only thing I disliked is fairly stupid. They have those tiny Kikkoman Soy Sauce packs... Wasteful and annoying vs a few of those little soy pitchers Worse still... The wasabi is way too soft. On the edge of liquidy... Because they use the same wasabi to make the rolls. Service.... This is a college town (the center of UNH) and this place is excellent food with low ambience, and self serve.

Man this place was bad. Given the area I had low expectations and this was even worse than I…read morecould've imagined. The Tteokbokki was hands-down, the saltiest thing I've ever ordered at a restaurant in my entire life. Flavor profile was 100% off the sauce genuinely tasted like Play-Doh. The teriyaki chicken bowl wasn't much better whatever sauces y'all are using are horrendously bad. More salt doesn't equate the more flavor. Hope this helps.

It's relatively small (only about ten seats) and at the time, only two people were working. It took a little bit for the food to come out (my dad was able to go order a coffee at Coffee Break Cafe next door and bring it back before our orders came out) but the portions were perfect for our lunch and my dad really enjoyed his! The noodles are dropped off on the bar for you to pick up and you grab your own chopsticks as well. We ordered the Chili Ramen (tonkotsu with chili oil on top) and the Shoyu Ramen, both with pork as the protein. The cook on the egg was great (nice and gooey in the center and the white was nice and soft) but it was a little cold and lacked flavor (could've been marinated for longer?). The pork was a nice cut of meat but despite being blowtorched it was a little chewy and lacked a bit of flavor also. The lack of marination on these toppings was helped by the fact that the broth was great and flavorful and if you ate them with the broth and noodles, it was satisfying! I think the broth was the best part; I tried both of them and enjoyed drinking the broth by itself even without eating the noodles with it. Overall, I thought the ramen was OK (the soup was the best part!) but for the price and portion I think this is a nice place to stop by for lunch! My dad enjoyed it a lot and was impressed by the authenticity for an American establishment.
