    Kari Vegetables.  It was very good but I ordered tofu and it didn't have any tofu, only vegetables.
    Andre' M.

    Still great years later. I loved my Kari Vegetables even though it was missing the tofu. My wife was very happy with her Singapore Noodles. Service is top notch.

    Salmon Roll

    Exceeding expectations! I'm always wary of trying new sushi places but I'm so glad I checked out the new flyer I got in the mail! Sushi was very fresh !! I got the salmon and spicy tuna and both or top notch ! Generous portions too. The miso soup was also packed with tofu and seaweed. Normal those I barely found any at other restaurants...could be beginners luck .. idk. Anyway, the staff were awesome and immediate brought extra water for myself and my dogs when they saw me take my to go order to the porch on the side. Nice decor and indoor / outdoor seating. Sushi was so good I decided to get the massaman curry chicken to take home too! Food was ready in less than 10 minutes !!!

    Jack of all trades. Master of none. This restaurant boasts a variety of cuisines Thai Malaysian Chinese and Sushi. My family has ordered take out from this establishment and we ate in for the first time last night. The food is a mixed bag. Their appetizers and sushi are usually pretty good but I feel that the other cuisines have not really blown me away. I think it's just very conveniently located. The staff is very nice and inviting regardless of if you're taking out or eating in which earns them an extra star in my book. I feel like the staff always adds to the dining experience when they are friendly and knowledgeable.

    Dancing Tuna Roll, Rainbow Roll
    Jessica Y.

    This is a casual restaurant with a good variety of malaysian/thai, chinese, and sushi/sashimi. They have half off rolls mon-wed which is a great deal. The sushi rolls are pretty good - I got to try the dynamite, dancing tuna, spider roll, and spicy rainbow roll. Fish was fresh and portions were good, and the spicy sauce was spicier than I expected. I also shared the honey walnut shrimp with my family, and it was a little over-fried compared to how I usually get it at other restaurants. However, the flavor was still good. One negative part of my experience was that the server misheard one of the sushi roll orders and brought the wrong one - then when we brought it up, he said he would go back and get the right one without taking the wrong order back. We then got charged for both rolls without the server mentioning anything about it or offering to take it back. In general otherwise the service was friendly but sometimes we felt there was a communication barrier.

    We came to the restaurant as a group for dinner. Although it's close to my home I did not know the restaurant. There are plenty of seating and the service was courteous. I was surprised that the variety of menu choices including Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Malaysian, and even Korean. I picked Char Kway Teow since I felt like to have Malaysian food tonight and it is described as Malaysian-famous stir-fried flat rice noodles. It did not disappoint me, I liked it, specially the taste of caramelized rice noodle, it reminded me of Hong Kong well known Dry fried beef and Ho Fun, the Chinese name of this dish 干炒牛河, only difference is it came with shrimp, squid, that is perfectly fine with me. I would give 4 star for the restaurant. But my wife was very disappointed with her dish - Sambal Chili Sauce with Okra, Eggplant, String Bean, the dish came cold, after recooked she found it salty , my friends had similar experiences. So in all I had to remove one star from my rating.

    Excellent place for lunch or a date night. They have many different types of Asian cuisine. A terrific sushi bar, Chinese food, and Thai food and some others. The place is always spotless, 100% cleanliness rating. Excellent service and the food is always high-quality and fresh.

    Great Malaysian/Thai food! Really like the Kari Laksa, Hokkien Mee, & Singapore rice noodles. Service is attentive and friendly. Highly recommend for authentic Malaysian food.

    I moved from Hawaii with my family about 2 years ago. And because there's a huge population of…read moreJapanese on the Aloha State, it's not surprising that this restaurant reminds me of the mom and pop places that you find on the island. It's a small restaurant but the nostalgia of the interior cannot be denied. And it turned out some of the staff are from Hawaii too so it just adds to the warm, friendly atmosphere you can expect from a place like this. As for the food, just as good and impressive. My dad and I had their chirashi or rice with different seafood varieties and my mom had one of their teishoku or combination plates. They said it's a sushi restaurant but I guarantee they have more than that at Tanaka. If you decide to try it, which I recommend you do, call and make a reservation because unfortunately you can't do it online and it's a small restaurant so it's better to call ahead of time anyway. Once you try this terrific restaurant, it's worth it!

    Don't judge this place by its exterior. The inside is absolutely beautiful--homey, welcoming, and…read moresurprisingly refined. There are so many thoughtful little details in the décor that make it feel special. Every server and staff member was genuinely kind and impressively hospitable, offering a level of service that honestly surpasses some higher-end restaurants I've been to. Now, the food. Their ginger salad might be the best I've ever had. They use romaine and green leaf lettuce instead of the typical iceberg, which gives it far more flavor and texture. The dressing was smooth and creamy--not broken, watery, or overly acidic like so many ginger dressings tend to be. The miso soup also had more depth of flavor than most versions I've tried. A bonus surprise: they have more lunch options than what's listed online, and the in-person prices are actually cheaper. So don't rely on the website--come in and look for yourself. I ordered the chicken teriyaki and sushi roll combo. They offer a generous selection of rolls to choose from, and I went with the Alaskan roll. The filling was plentiful and well-balanced. The rice on the outside was slightly thin in a few bites where the seaweed peeked through, but the overall flavor was excellent. The chicken teriyaki was outstanding--juicy, tender, perfectly seared, and full of rich teriyaki flavor. I also appreciated the unexpected cold bean sprout salad on the side, which added a nice contrast to the meal. Overall, this was a wonderful lunch at a very fair price--only $15. I'd happily return and highly recommend stopping in rather than making assumptions based on appearances or online listings.

Can't speak for parking as I walked over. You'll have to call and ask or drive around and check it out for yourself. I didn't make a reservation but as busy as it got, I'd recommend it just in case. I sat at the Sushi bar - there's also a bar - but if you want a table - that's where it got busy, then busier when I finished up and left. Service was great! Sitting at the Sushi bar, the crew behind the counter was busy but the wait staff checked up on me like I was a VIP. I didn't even need to ask - someone was there to follow up. Not hovering. Just great timing. They do not offer Sashimi sets thus what you see in the pics I posted. Not complaining - I got my fix later in the week. But enjoyed the meal from appetizer, to dessert and the drinks in-between. I especially enjoyed the Yellowtail Jalapeno - nice punch of flavor - same for the Crab Sunomono. The Margarita Roll had a little kick - not spicy for me but if you're sensitive to spicy heat - might want to avoid. Grabbed the Banana Tempura for dessert. Figured it would pair well with the Banana Bread Old Fashioned. It didn't. Little to strong for it. That's on me. But enjoyed the separately. Next time I'd order something that doesn't overpower the dessert. But next time I might just say it's two desserts - the second being of a liquid variety. Anyway, would I go back? Lots of other places to try but I wouldn't hesitate if someone wanted to go and asked me to tag along.

    Girls' night approved! The place feels modern with its dark toned decor and ambient lighting (while…read morestill being well-lit). We were seated on the second floor and our server handled our party of 6 with ease. The sake list is very extensive, and I really enjoyed the few that I tried. What's more, the glassware they use to keep the sake cool was...COOL (check the pictures, but you should order some and see for yourself)! We were also pleasantly surprised by the decently priced but beautifully executed menu. Try the golden California roll if it's your speed. I think half of us got to-go orders after having a wonderful dinner (shoutout to our server for alerting us before the kitchen closed for the night), and we're already planning our next outing!
