Service was great. Very attentive!

Woah, I ordered the Special Pho and couldn't believe how flavorful the broth was! It was served with sprouts, cilantro, basil, hoisin and siracha but I didn't need to add anything to it. It was around $12 and portions were huge, at least 2 meals. We ordered the deep see sushi roll as well. It was good too. I didn't not read the entire description and was surprised to see the minced fish and that it was fried on the outside. The tuna and salmon were fresh and tasteful. The kids got chicken nuggets with some fried rice. Again, high quality nuggets, crispy and juicy. If you are in the North Belmont area, I recommend this restaurant! You will be pleasantly surprised

I got crab Rangoon, spring rolls, and spicy basil chicken with fried rice. The crab Rangoon was not super flavorful. I love this dish but didn't care for this one. The spring rolls were good. The spicy basil chicken must have had a hidden spice that my body didn't totally like. It tasted good and I didn't taste a lot of heat. I did a to go over. They were fast with preparing. I would probably return to try something else on the menu.

My recent visit to Pisces Sushi was a win, from ambiance to bites to value. We were tucked into a…read morecozy booth that felt like our own little nook, perfect for catching up with friends over a great meal. Our server was warm, attentive, and full of helpful recommendations. When I couldn't decide between two rolls, she steered me toward the Sushi Sandwich, suggesting I try it as a traditional roll instead. Let me just say, YUM!!! It was the perfect mix of flavors and texture. Bonus: it was half-price wine night (Thursday perk!). My friends each ordered one of the desserts and they enjoyed them all. I've had the lemon blueberry cheesecake before and it's still my favorite - light, creamy, and bursting with flavor. I believe I remember asking last time Randy they get their desserts brought in from a local venue. Best part... Pisces is part of the Offline Club, so with my deal, my dinner came to just $5. Seriously, $5 for solid sushi? Can't beat that!!! Pisces hits the spot for a casual night out with quality food, great service, and unbeatable deals.

This was hands down the worst restaurant experience I've ever had and it was for a birthday dinner. We arrived at 8:15 PM and weren't seated until 8:40. That would have been tolerable if the restaurant had been busy it wasn't. It was barely occupied. We were given water and then sat there for almost an hour before anyone took our order. Our order was not taken until 9:30 PM. We ended up leaving at 10:00 PM because of how disgusting and uncomfortable the entire experience became. Service was shockingly poor. There were four employees visible: two older women working the floor, one man making sushi, and a younger girl behind the bar. Despite the low volume of guests, our waitress ignored us for extended periods while standing behind us talking to another table for 10+ minutes. We finally had to flag her down just to get our order taken and then she rushed us. The drinks were a disaster. We were served the wrong rum, and when we politely mentioned it, the waitress argued with us about it. Once it was replaced, it was clearly watered down. Our water glasses were visibly dirty. One of the wine glasses had lip smudges on it that were not from anyone at our table. That alone is unacceptable. The cleanliness of the restaurant was alarming. The bathrooms had no paper towels, the toilets were dirty, and it looked like they hadn't been cleaned recently. There was silverware on the floor in the main walkway that staff walked past repeatedly without picking up. The entire place felt dirty and disheveled. To make matters worse, there was an intoxicated man at the bar who appeared close with the staff. He berated us as we were leaving, and instead of intervening, staff continued serving him alcohol. We also witnessed the waitress deliver sushi with avocado to another table after the guest clearly stated she had asked for no avocado. The waitress set it down and essentially told her to eat it instead of correcting the mistake. That interaction alone showed a complete lack of professionalism or care. This was supposed to be a birthday celebration. The staff was aware of that. Instead, we experienced neglect, unsanitary conditions, confrontational service, and an overall atmosphere that felt chaotic and poorly managed. If I could give negative stars, I would.

The fried rolls were nice and rice was rice. It does come with fish sauce. The food came very quick, around 12 min after ordering. Waitress was quick with water.

This page offers topics to consider in reviewing this restaurant. Whereas ambiance, service and…read morefood all affect your experience in dining out (and consequently your opinion), the foremost consideration is undoubtedly the food. Edomae Sushi (such a strong reference to the origin of quality sushi/ sashimi) fails to live up to expectations. The food was bland. And bland because simple, traditional elements were absent in its preparation. The rice was gohan (simply cooked rice) and not shari (cooked rice that is vinegared/seasoned). The various fish that adorn the nigiri selections had not been garnished with a light smear of wasabi before topping the (absent) shari. Once you have experienced sushi that faithfully represents its heritage, you immediately appreciate its reputation. A good way to tell if a Japanese restaurant is good or not is if you see Japanese eating there.

The food was outstanding. I looked at their menu before I went and the pictures live up to the actual meal. I have 5 appointments this month that put me within a 10 minute walk to this restaurant. I am anxious to try more of the menu!

It might have just been the holiday rush, but I always figure "busy means good," so my expectations were high--and The Local didn't disappoint. We started with the nachos; they were delicious, though I do wish they came with a bit more meat. For mains, the burger was outstanding--probably one of the best we've had in the entire area. We also ordered the Brazilian steak, which was cooked perfectly and came with great plantains. The quinoa with tofu was good, too, though it was a little dry and would have been perfect with a sauce. The service really stood out. Our waitress was incredibly attentive and refilled my water at least four times without me asking. Great ambiance and an all-around good experience. Definitely worth the wait!

But I wiggled my vehicle into a tight spot and went in for a burger and a beer. I believe there were about 10 to 12 options available on tap, and I went with what was listed as an Irish stout from somewhere in the Northeast. It wasn't bad, though it seemed more like an imperial stout. My sandwich choice was the Cowboy, with ground elk at its core. It was a good choice too, and the accompanying fried onions and melted cheese complemented the meat well. I ordered the burger medium, but I think I'd go for medium rare if I could go back in time. The medium option wasn't bad, but I think a little less heat and a little more moisture would only make things better. I kept things simple with the side item, going for the fries which were of the thinly sliced McDonald's variety, not bad but nothing remarkable. The server covering my table was pleasant and prompt, though soft spoken so I occasionally had to ask her to repeat herself amidst the music and noise. I wouldn't call any of these selections a bargain, but the prices didn't veer too far from what you'll find in many burger joints. All in all, not an earthshaking experience, but a place I'd be willing to go back to. 3.5 stars.

We started with the pickled board, and it was just fun. A little bit of everything: pickled veggies, cucumbers with those pretty curls of onion, pimento cheese, bread, pork rinds, a little tomato jam. It felt like a Southern snack platter put together by someone who actually cares about balance and flavor. I ordered the pickled salad with chicken, and it was right up my alley. Fresh greens, great textures, pops of color, and the chicken was nicely seasoned and grilled. The dressing had that bright, tart thing going on that makes you want more of it. I would absolutely get this again. My husband got the Cassie salad, and while he said it was "fine," even he admitted everything was fresh and well done. The vibe here is relaxed, cozy, a little rustic, the kind of place that feels local in the best way. For a casual lunch in Boone, it hits the spot. I'd go back in a heartbeat.
