And our server was a absolute sweetheart and the place is nice. Yakitori is supposed to be chicken thighs but it wasn't it was chicken breast which it was hard to chew. And the price for everything is way too high, and it isn't worth the money.

The concept is somewhere between Chipotle and Panda Express. They start with a protein, add veggies and serve them over rice or noodles topped with a Teriyaki flavored sauce. You can order a mini, a regular or a large. We had a regular chicken breast bowl and there was a surprising amount of chicken in it. Lots of rice, too but it could have had more stir-fried veggies, in my opinion. It was $11.19 and a soft drink was $2.79. Eat in or take out but no drive through. It's a little hole in the wall place with limited seating in a big shopping center that is anchored by a Menard's store. Free parking in their lot.

The best sushi! Great service!…read more We had dinner here a couple nights ago and it was fantastic. My husband ordered a beer and I ordered a cup of hot green tea. We ordered the Gyu Sashi - Sliced sashimi style raw beef, served with a raw quail egg and a garlic dipping sauce. It was amazing! I could've ordered multiple of this appetizer. We ordered the Sushi & Sashimi for 2 - the premium selection. It's served with a miso soup and salad with ginger dressing. The soup and salad were pretty good. It's the sushi that's the star, though. The sushi was fabulous! It really is the best sushi that we've had around Cincinnati. As usual, great service too. We'll be back soon.

After the initial wave of sadness, I set out to have ramen in spite of my stupid garbage disposal.... and found this wonderful place! Walking in, the art on the walls and design had me wondering if this was a chain, but no, it appears that there's just a really lot of pride in this business. Cool ambiance. I got the spicy miso with chicken. It was absolutely delicious. I mean, just look at the picture. I will say that I'd like a little more broth than they give, but it was packed with flavor. I could've stopped there, but wanted to try the sushi too, so I got a yellowtail roll. Shocker, it was yummy. I'll definitely be back.

As soon as I walked in the front door, I felt the warmth of the owners (at least I assumed they were the owner!). The way the talked to their customers like family was heart warming. They were out of the egg onigiri so I got a salmon one, a chicken sando, melon pan, and an ube cream dessert. The melon pan was honestly my favorite because they're so hard to find fresh where I live. The sando didn't impress me - too much mayo and limp lettuce without much flavor. The onigiri was good, as was the ube dessert. Id absolutely go back but skip the chicken sando.

Love to sit near the coy pound. Could use better lighting tho. Unfortunately, the last time I ate lunch there, it's been over a year, I had the worst attack to my digestive system, that I've ever experienced. After we had lunch, we drove over to Kohl's, which is within a couple of minutes. As soon as we walked in, we both developed the old bubble guts. Barely made it to the restroom. I will spare you the details. Ruined it for me. No more sushi for me.

Our server Wesley was a gem. Very knowledgeable and funny. What I loved most was the attention to detail. And we never felt rushed. The manager stopped by the table to tell us the story behind the knives we'd chosen. He was personable and made you feel glad to be visiting the restaurant. The whole experience was elevated because of the exceptional staff. My son ordered the porterhouse, cooked to perfection. Our table also had the wagyu burger, chicken pasta and lamb chops. I could've eaten sides alone as my meal, they were generous portions and delicious. Dessert was the infamous Black Forest cake topped with pink cotton candy and edible flowers, made spectacular with dry ice. Others stopped to watch as it put on its show. My son received a complimentary bowl of ice cream for his birthday which he appreciated. The pastry chef is obviously very talented and unique in her ideas. We'd come back again just to try all the desserts. Prices are a bit high, but the environment and care and attention from staff makes it well worth it. All in all, a memorable evening!
