    Volcano roll
    Bianca C.

    Not bad for express sushi and hibachi. From what I've had, it's on par with Publix or Sprouts sushi. The general tso's chicken had several pieces of just breading and then had random pieces of broccoli underneath the chicken. The broccoli was super saucy and over cooked so not that pleasant. I liked the fried rice. Be warned, it's just fried rice without egg or vegetables. I like that it's clean inside and that my food is ready when it says it will be. I've never had to wait too long when I come in to order.

    shrimp tempura

    Not bad at all. I recently placed an order here for delivery. I used the Yelp app to place an order for shrimp tempura with extra ginger and no wasabi. The order was received and delivered faster than I was expecting. I didn't get any wasabi as expected, however, I didn't receive the extra ginger. I enjoyed the sushi rolls so I would be up for reordering it and/or trying something else from the menu.

    Second time, got the Tsunami Roll and sashimi again.. it wasn't bad but just ok. We also got the steak hibachi and the salmon hibachi. The steak was severely under seasoned and over cooked.. my husband's salmon and noodles looked good though. I think the best part was the veggies.. might only come back again in a pinch.

    Wish I had seen these additional rolls before I was rushed to place the order

    Just got togo from this spot. I got mango chicken with fried rice and cucumber roll. Food portions are good and service was quick. The mango chicken tasted like sweet and sour chicken with a few pieces of mango (I would vote tin drums mango over this one). Fried rice tasted like brown rice- not many veggies or eggs, and strong taste of brown rice (still fine though). Cucumber roll was an 8 piece roll - can't really go wrong with that. Few cons though- they weren't happy about me coming in at 945(close @10) without calling in an order first. I was offered limited menu since they had started to close up, which is fine. I still had good selection. The prices are slightly higher on the menu on their wall than the togo menu that they had right there on the table. Price still not bad for the portion, but I would appreciate consistency for a bigger order later. I would go again to try more of their sushi rolls.

    I live in the area and this is my go-to Asian food and Sushi fix for lunch or on a lazy day. I normally get the Chicken Teriyaki plate or the Bento box which is nice if you want a little bit of everything. The sushi grade here is not the best, but you get what you pay for. I have ordered from here to take to-go, you can also use DoorDash or any other delivery apps if you'd like delivery. I also actually don't mind eating here too because it is clean, and they play cool music (if you're into house). Overall, if you want a quick Japanese hibachi fix, and some sushi to go with it, you should definitely consider trying Fugu Express out.

    General Tso's Chicken (to go)
    Kaoru M.

    Honestly, I was initially skeptical of a restaurant named after a Japanese word for a poisonous fish... But I was craving Chinese food and they were close to the office that I was working at, so I ordered General Tso's Chicken for takeout. It turned out to be a good choice as it was the best General Tso's I've had in a while! Will definitely try them again the next time I'm in the area.

    This new spot is on point! My second visit here and the food is just phenomenal. Customer service is fantastic and they've created a very welcome and warm atmosphere. Today there is quite a bit of action, mostly take out, but, there is a line. I guess the word is spreading quickly. This is rapidly approaching being one of my go to Express Sushi/ Hibachi joints. The interior is not that large, but, suitable for the location and volume of business you would expect in a strip mall.

Genuinely curious about the generous cuts of fish I saw in others' experiences as all our rolls were small (think the size of a big toe for reference...) I normally choose to not write a review if I have a poor first-time experience at a family restaurant and opt to visit again, but this visit was so disastrous that I cannot stomach the thought of round two. Service: First dish (ton-katsu) came out after ~30 minutes after ordering. Rolls came out 45 minutes after order. The restaurant was not packed. We were notified ONCE by our server while she hastily dropped off the ton-katsu saying "your sushi is late but you know all of it is." Food: - Ton-katsu (3/5): The sides (potatoes, miso, and salad) were fine. The meat was intriguing. It was impossible to eat without it falling apart as there were evidently two different mystery cuts of meat (one dark, one white) packed together. The texture of the dark meat resembled that of stale hamburger patty and the white meat was probably pork tenderloin? Regardless, it was fried nicely, but was incredibly dry and overall meh (especially for the price). -Georgia Roll (1.5/5): I love wasabi and spice in general, but this was not it. The wasabi mayo had way too much wasabi and it was inconsistently distributed throughout the roll. Almost inedible. The roll itself was not packed tightly and started falling apart before I started even eating it. -Dynamatic Roll (2/5): Overall, it was fine as there were no glaring errors that pushed it to the inedible front. The amount of eel inside was negligible and there were pieces that didn't even have any towards one end. Roll was also packed poorly and fell apart before we touched it. -Fried Scallop Roll (1/5): Wayyy too much eel sauce inside the roll. All I could taste was overly sweet teriyaki. 2 of the 8 of the pieces didn't even have a single scallop-- only tempura bits! Despite being fried, the scallops were cold inside, which was an odd experience. All I could taste was eel sauce and raw onion. Did we finish the food? Yes, because I don't want to waste food. However, I could not on good conscience recommend it to even my non-existent enemies.

I stopped by on a Tuesday evening around 8 PM, placed a call-in order, and it was ready in about 20 minutes--super convenient! I went with the fried rice and the Korean-style fried chicken. The place has a nice moderate-sized space with pleasant outdoor seating, and the staff was really friendly when I picked up my order. Once I got back and dug in, it was clear they use super fresh ingredients, and everything tasted like it was made to order. The fried rice had nice, layered flavors, and the chicken had a clean, crisp bite with a tasty sauce drizzled on top. Honestly, I couldn't quite see what all the major hype was about, but it was still a solid, good-quality meal with great presentation. That said, given the other more affordable options in the area with better portions, I probably wouldn't go back on my next visit. Would recommend if you're looking for fresh, quality ingredients in a convenient spot!

For my main, I had the Wagyu Maki and it didn't live up to the expectations or price at all. We finished off with the mochi which was very tasty. I'll caveat this all with adding my friends who had the ramen and fried rice enjoyed their meals a lot more than mine. This could be a result of just ordering better items or just having a one-off bad experience myself. Overall, I think if you're avoiding seafood then Yakitori Jinbei might not be the best place to try in my personal experience.

Since I wasn't in the mood to sit down and eat, I went ahead and placed a call-ahead order for their House Lo Mein along with an order of fried chicken wings. The restaurant itself is fairly spacious with a nice, welcoming atmosphere once you step inside. The décor gives off a classic Chinese restaurant vibe that feels comfortable and relaxing. Parking, however, is a bit of a mixed bag. The spots right in front of the building are limited, so I ended up using the extended parking lot, which was a little dark and had that slightly eerie feeling at night -- nothing too wild or dangerous, but definitely not the most well-lit area I've seen. When I arrived to pick up my order, I was pleasantly greeted right at the door by the staff, who provided genuinely friendly and efficient customer service. That warm welcome made the whole pickup process smooth and quick. Once I got back to my hotel room and finally dug into the food, I have to say the House Lo Mein was prepared with fresh ingredients and good quality noodles and vegetables. It wasn't the most outstanding lo mein I've ever tasted in my life -- I've had versions that were more flavorful and better seasoned -- but it certainly wasn't the worst either. I'd honestly describe it as pretty mid-tier: solid, reliable, and worth what I paid for it on that particular evening. The fried chicken wings, on the other hand, really stood out to me. They were extra crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and actually had some noticeable flavor and seasoning, which made them quite enjoyable. All in all, it was a decent and satisfying meal that hit the spot after a tiring day. The portions were generous enough, and the value felt reasonable. I could definitely see myself returning to The Orient sometime in the future if I find myself back in the area and in need of a quick Chinese takeout option. That said, with plenty of other restaurants nearby that offer more affordable prices and bolder flavors, it probably wouldn't be my absolute first choice the next time I'm craving something similar. Still, if you're looking for a convenient, no-fuss spot with friendly service and consistently okay-to-good food, The Orient is worth considering.

First let's talk about the egg rolls; they didn't taste frozen or store bought, and if they were, they did an amazing job of making them delicious. They had a ginger kick to them that I loved and they were a nice size portion. The price wasn't bad either like $5 for two. The Hibachi Chicken is tasty; no mucky or overcooked rice, seasoned chicken, hefty and flavorful serving of veggies, nothing to complain about especially for the price! The half size is like $11 and the full is $14 rounded up, and you get a ton of food for the price! My mom ordered the shrimp fried rice and wasn't too impressed. It was a nice sized serving from the picture and what I saw but I can't judge the taste considering I didn't eat any but it looked good.

However, the service is always good even with the cashiers at the window when I go being young, the restaurant appears clean in the inside from what I can see sitting in my bar, and the parking lot isn't trashy. It looks sketch but it's not lol. Overall good food and experiences. I'm going back to try that Chicken Teriyaki Bowl, their Veggie Fried Rice, and their chicken wings! They have a drive-thru, you can't beat that!
