I've only been there once, so far, considering they just opened this week. I started with the spicy tuna salad, and it was full of beautiful chunks that I THOUGHT were diced tomatoes at first, the kimchi sauce and accoutrements were very satisfying. Because it was my first time there, I also ordered pad see ew, to try their hot food. The crab Rangoon appetizer was so light, crunchy, and flavorful, I wanted more. The entree was very tasty and satisfying, though the size was a bit modest. But it is an affordable lunch special, right? Wifey tried the California rule, and reported it was perfect, spring roll was excellent, and her panang curry was excellent, I was not offered a nibble! Next time, I will try the seafood sushi...

The food was brought out randomly with some of our table receiving their plates 20 minutes before others. We also never received 2 of our sushi rolls and had to inquire about it. There was a 20 percent gratuity added to our tickets with only 5 people on our ticket. Expensive food and poor service!

This place is a MUST if you like Thai food!!! We recently stayed in the Seven Devils area for a…read morelong weekend and looked to Yelp for a lunch recommendation. I'm always leery of Thai restaurants and especially sushi in new locations, from past experience. We also had a bunch of restaurant recommendations from our Airbnb host and this was not one of them, but my husband picked it so I decided to give it a try. We walked in and were warmly greeted and sat. The restaurant was dimly lit which I prefer, the tables spacious and inviting. I had a few questions about the curry dishes which the waitress easily answered, leading me to order the yellow curry with chicken I left out the peppers and added broccoli and carrots. I haven't had a curry dish in many years that I've been pleased with so this was taking a leap of faith. My husband ordered the Monster sushi roll and the Basil Fried Rice with chicken (very traditional dish). The sushi arrived first and we both dug in. I was super impressed at how good it was. Our main dishes arrived and it was exactly what I was hoping for, a comforting curry dish full of vegetables and flavor. It was a tad too spicy for me but the pineapple pieces in it balanced it perfectly. My husband loved his food as well and our only regret is not living close enough to eat here more! We loved it so much that we ordered takeout to bring home with us on our way home. This is a fairly new restaurant in the area and I highly recommend you give them a try!

I can recommend trying one of the many hibachi choices.

I called & l/m 5 days ahead & the owner clearly states what times are available each day that week since they only have 5 tables. The owner called me back within an hour & confirmed our reservation. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the owner & she immediately wished us a Happy Anniversary & had 2 roses in a vase for us to keep. Very romantic & quiet setting. The Bibb salad with the soy & Yuzu dressing was delicious & so fresh! We had the smoked salmon roll, steamed lobster roll & tuna tataki and all were delicious! This husband & wife team restaurant is a hidden gem (it's tucked in a plaza behind a gas station, so at night, it may be easy to miss!). If you're a sushi lover & will be in Hickory, call in advance & make your reservation! We are already looking forward to our next visit in the spring when our daughter's lacrosse team plays LR!

There was a nice size portion, the taste was delightful. The rice was cooked to perfection. 7 put of 10 Restaurant is very clean. Staff is friendly. 8 out of 10 I personally feel the best time to come into the restaurant is between three and five. It's not as busy. The food is still fresh and delicious. I rate the atmosphere 7. out of 10. The restaurant is right next to the gas station. Don't let that fool you this is a great little hole in the wall to visit, talk with the staff. Yes, there is a language barrier to a degree but they're so friendly and nice to take a minute how are you doing? I took the time to talk with the owner of the restaurant, I personally feel getting to know your local restaurant owners and staff is a good thing. It'll make your dining experience better. Zew, started creating sushi and cooking Japanese food back in 2001, Mr. Sushi opened in 2017, there was not very many sushi restaurants in the Asheville then. There's been many sushi restaurants come and go since then. There are Sushi/ Japanese/Hibachi restaurants in the area, however this one is truly a wonderful restaurant to visit it's quaint and down to earth-place, this is why I highly recommend this restaurant this is restaurant. with great personality. Zew is. Owners he is a delight to talk with, you see the passion in his face when he's talking about his food that he's created the original rolls that he makes. I recommend trying the Rangoon roll. There's no fish in it. It's there's imitation crab. It's a wonderful thing that he is doing here and he has truly traditional Japanese fried noodles. Which is very much a difference between the Chinese way of cooking the noodles. As much as I'd like to give five stars I cannot because I rarely give five stars. I love this place. I would return to this place and I hope that you will come to this place too and enjoy wonderful sushi and a little a hole in the wall from somebody that has compassion for the food he creates.

I don't think we will eat here again.
