Tuna tataki tasted unbelievably fresh! Service was lightning fast and everyone was super friendly! Make sure to request Andy he can virtually read your mind and deliver before you have to ask! "Eddie's Special" (the chefs special) has the perfect kick without overpowering the fish with the perfect smokiness to it! This is officially my new favorite sushi spot! And yeah the presentation was gorgeous and unique, vibrant modern yet relaxing and the cozy interior make it perfect for an unforgettable dining out experience

It was empty on a Wednesday afternoon, I came in with my mom to try this restaurant out! Our server was very kind and attentive to us so service was not an issue! The food was not up to my expectations in regards to taste, but the portions were more than generous. I got the steak yakisoba and my mom got sashimi regular. My mom enjoyed her meal and said one of the slices melted in her mouth lol. The yakisoba was just lackluster I think most people in this area would enjoy this dish, but I am picky about Japanese food because I have strict standards. If you're new to Japanese food, I think this would be a great choice!

DO NOT PASS ON THE EXTERIOR OR INTERIOR a reflection of the food. Completely incongruent to what you think of a Japanese sushi bar. The interior is not Asian in any way. Mire like Italian, or middle eastern??? This family run Japanese or Chinese ethnicities. Ordered only 2 things to start to see if we wanted to stay and order more. Our shumai was crunchy so not steamed like memories of one in my past but delicious. Had the sexy roll- unique and so fresh. Great flavors, clean and delicious. Ordered 3 more rolls, all a complete complement to each other and again unique, flavorful, and presentation was very nice, the person thought about what they were doing. Sapporos for 3.99. Reasonable Sushi and drink locally. Ambiance 2 Food 5+ Service 4

The service is an order up front and serve drinks yourself. I ordered through their seemless website (powered by grubhub). One of the biggest reasons they get a 4 star is due to their service. The website was a little more complex to handle and made me sign in. I immediately get a call to make sure my order is right since they've been having complications. They didn't assume, they made sure their customer was set! The ambiance is relax and the restaurant has been standing for a while so it's on the older side. The food never disappoints and you'll get good portions for lunch.

But thanks to yelp the reviews kept saying this was different so me in a buddy of mine went for lunch recently to try it out. Not a huge place, but nicely decorated and clean the Buffay to the left head three or four different rows, starting with your proteins, then to your vegetables and desserts. Sushi was in the back as were the sushi chefs making it. I pretty much walked down every aisle and sampled some thing of everything so I could get a good feel on the quality of the food. I'm also a sushi nut, so technically, I never eat sushi at a Chinese buffet, but this look fresh and the spicy tuna actually looked like spicy tuna... And it was quite good and fresh. They even had Hot sauce bar with my Sriracha ready for me as I don't use soy sauce on sushi if it's any good. The Buffet stayed full , service was spot on, I have to admit I kept eating and had to stop before I over ate. I was really impressed especially defined it in Winder, which I struggle to find a place I can call home. So if you're looking for Chinese, don't be like me and wait because of the name, this is the real deal very tasty, highly recommend !!

They messed up one of my orders but were quick to fix it. We got fried shrimp as an appetizer, and honestly they didn't skimp out on the shrimp! We also got hibachi which was a little salty, ikura nigiri (salmon roe) where they added I think quail eggs on top?, and a new sushi roll that had spicy tuna, salmon, and yellowtail, topped with the same fish and panko. They also added ramen to their menu that I want to try soon. Maybe next time? Definitely a great bang for your buck!

One is enough for two people to share or one person for two meals and for a fair price too. There's not much space for dine in, so don't take a huge party and don't expect a show. This is simple counter service hibachi but it knocks its competitor in town out of the park every single time.

The sushi rolls were better and tasted fresh. Friendly service and a quick meal on the go. If I came again, I would get the sushi.

They aren't just great at their job they get to know you by name, care about you as a person and spark up real conversations that aren't the same "how's things going?" Now, let's talk about the food. I've had sushi on 3 continents and this is hands done some of the best you will ever experience. Everything is fresh, prepared on the spot. Vast amounts of attention are put into the presentations making this one of my family's favorite spots. The only thing I could honestly think of that's negative is the front door (lol). Something about where they are located in the plaza creates a vacuum on that door from time to time and you really have to yank on the door to get it open, but I would gladly bring a crowbar for this food. See for yourself, you won't be disappointed!

One of the others ordered the shrimp and filet mignon. The filet Mignon came out cold and was tough. I ordered the chicken and fried rice and the fried rice tasted like it had spoiled fish or some VERY ODD flavor. I had two bites and that's all I could handle. My chicken was tough too. My wife got the steak and Chicken and only took about two bites as you can see from the attached photo. The server put in some effort but was lacking on getting drinks refilled. From the photo you can see that a full plate was left behind and a full bowl of rice. I won't be coming back to throw my money away for cold and horrible food. Just a point to ponder is I wouldn't even take the food home for the dogs, it's that bad. The place was not that busy when we were there.
