I have never had a sauce on a Rainbow Roll, it looked like a rainy day roll and was not up to par with any other Rainbows I've had, the sauce didn't work. There was very little Sushi. The Edamame was good. When there is a party or Japanese Stake table taking place it can get rather noisy. We will give them another try.

I'm wondering if it was my fault for not ordering hibachi from the demonstration grill, but I was thinking since the restaurant was empty I was going it a service ordering from a table, but my soup and salad came out after my hibachi meal. I think the waiter forgot about it because I had to so if it was still coming. When it did come, the soup looked like mostly water (see photos) and the salad was over drenched in dressing. I've never seen that much dressing in a salad my entire life. The meat wasn't hot but the fried rice really saved the day. It was salty, but I prefer mine that way. I like the location of this place so I'm hoping that next visit will be different.

It is 100x better than the old location and gives off a lot better date night vibe. We were seated immediately and they were quite busy.

We felt that they had actually LOWERED their prices by a dollar or two from the last location. If you haven't been to the new location, please plan a date night and head out there and check the hard work they put in it.

I ordered various things to go and it was hard choosing because it all sounded so good. I ended up going with a volcano bowl, Hawaii bowl, Columbus roll, and two sushi tacos (spicy tuna and ahi tuna). The Columbus roll was fresh, and tasted so good it was gone quickly. The volcano bowl was amazing. The yuzu wasabi sauce tied everything together. The bowls are all one size but it was a good amount of food. The sushi tacos are unique, and you won't find anything like it in the area. The seaweed shells weren't my favorite because the texture was a little crunchy yet chewy at the same time which made it hard to take bites. However they were still tasty, just paled in comparison to the other options! All in all, this was a 10/10.

Everything is always hot and fresh, and the sushi is very good. I usually get the steak hibachi dinner or a special dragon roll. Both are delicious options.

The service is always really fast and efficient, and we've never gotten a wrong order.

The sushi was not fresh (we did order 30 minutes before closing). The rolls were lacking in quality and the avocado had taken a turn for the worst, could have easily been cut off so we wouldn't even know but that showed us they didn't care about what they were giving their customers. The crab Rangoon was fried in a thick breading, also don't recommend as it was hard to chew. If they used a thinner bread it might have a chance hahah. There are so many good sushi places in the area or within a 30 minute radius with similar prices so I wouldn't return or recommend. The inside of the restaurant is nice and spacious, but that's not going to make up for the crappy food.

This is literally THE best Chinese Food restaurant I've ever been to in my entire life... and I've been to a LOT of them!!! I've eaten at or from Chinese places in SC, GA, AL, LA, TX, IN, TN, KY, W.VA, DC, MD, WA, CA, and some I don't even remember... and NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM WAS LIKE THIS ONE!!! LIKE HOLY CARP BATMAN, HOW HAS IT TAKEN 39 YEARS FOR ME TO FIND A CHINESE RESTAURANT WITH ACTUAL DANGED QUALITY??!?!?!?! Literally, THE Best Chinese Food Restaurant in The United States of America as far as I'm concerned!!! It's a little Mom & Pop hole-in-the-wall, it's clean, it's well taken care of, and the food is FRESH, like O. M. G. Fresh! I have NEVER ONCE, EVER, had a freshly cooked, handmade as I order it, Egg Roll. EVERY Egg Roll for my entire life has been greasy, over-fried, kind of slightly soggy from sitting under warming lamps or being frozen, and kind of tasted like nasty... this place... naaaaah. Egg Roll, made BY HAND, WHEN I ORDERED IT. Not premade, made when the ticket was handed to them. I have eaten at Michelin Star restaurants that had worse food than this place! (Those places lost their stars a few years or so later, but that's beside the point). THIS PLACE DESERVES A MICHELIN STAR!!!
