    sake
    Vivien L.

    Came in with my partner for late night happy hour on a weekday. Upon walking in, the hostess did not greet us and waited for another staff member to seat us. We sat at the booth closest to the front door - the interior is cute, but looks cheap. The wooden tables are not high end and we were disappointed with this restaurant before we even ordered anything. We ordered miso soup to start - so salty, mushy tofu, did not finish. We ordered two rolls. Both seemed to be a decent serving size, but the pieces were rice heavy. The fish itself seemed.... fishy. Definitely did not taste like real salmon or tuna; we're from a city with fresh seafood, and I'm not surprised that this fish did not taste right. I doubt they get fresh fish flown in and likely use previously frozen items, where you can taste the difference. The wasabi obviously came out of a tube instead of fresh wasabi, another red flag. The only saving grace was their cocktail menu. Come here for drinks and skip the meal, save yourself the disappointment. Based on other reviews, some of their other menu items might make up for the poor sushi, but we will not be returning.

    Beef Sukiyaki
    Melissa R.

    We got the beef sukiyaki, ramen, and a roll. Nice interior decor and booths, and they had decent size portions. Couldn't track down our waiter when we wanted to pay and leave though. Overall, it was just okay for me. My partner would probably rate this a star higher than me.

    Service was excellent, Audrey was wonderful and attentive. The ambiance is American Japanese with TVs for sporting events the food was really good. Everything we ordered except the Beef Sukiyaki was on the Happy Hour menu (3-6 pm). I especially enjoyed the miso soup and the sushi's. The krab salad was good too light and cold on a hot day. My husband liked everything especially the Beef Sukiyaki, Vegas roll and spicy tuna roll. They even validate parking on event nights.

    Came in for dinner after some shopping. Haven't visited in a while, ordered a spicy beef ramen with shrimp fried rice, my food was delicious. It was a little busier as we left we beat the dinner rush I think but we sat with Bou, I hope I spelled it right, but he was so attentive, I know he was busy, had a big party in our section but he continued to check on us. He made the night very enjoyable. I've worked in customer service for over 15 years and his service was superb. 10/10.

    I recently went here for my engagement dinner for the first time! We weee excited to try because sushi is a special meal for us.. The manager / host was so friendly in the way he greeted us. We appreciated his positive presence. It took us a while to wait for our server Anthony. Although nice he did go missing a few times to we had to ask another server for water and ask the food runner for more food items because he kept going back and forth... not sure what happened there We will be back! Food was yummy!

    Garlic asparagus salmon roll
    Elsie M.

    A friend and I were recently in the area for a concert and decided to grab an early dinner here before the show. After looking over the menu, I ordered the garlic asparagus salmon roll and the unagi bowl. My friend ordered her own sushi and main entrée. The garlic asparagus salmon roll was the better of the two. The roll was nicely balanced with a light amount of crunch to it. In one or two roll pieces, the asparagus was a bit tough. The unagi bowl was decent, it was a nice surprise to have more items in the bowl than the usual unagi don you see at some other places here. We came around 4 p.m. and were able to be seated right away. Unfortunately, service was a bit slow and unorganized. Our server took a long time to take our order, and we were never given ginger or wasabi or a cup for our soy sauce to go with the sushi we ordered. Additionally, our entrees did not come out around the same time. My friend's sushi roll and main entrée came out way before mine did and by the time mine came out, she was already done with her meal. You can tell the restaurant has been around for a while from the wear and tear of their interior. I would say skip the hot entrees and stick to the sushi. The sushi was of better quality, which was decent. If you're in the area for an event, and looking to grab a meal, this place fulfills its purpose well. I would just recommend coming a little earlier to make sure you get to the event on time.

    Our first time at this restaurant and we took a seat at the sushi bar. We had a first hand view of the sushi rolls as they were made as they were picked up by the servers right in front of us. They have a regular happy hour and reverse happy with excellent discounts. We ordered only from the happy hour menu and they did not disappoint. We will definitely be back!

    So to start I love how the menu is presented and there are so many options to choose from and I want to try all of them . What is shown in the photo was 6.7/10 but I tried the other dishes which were super yummy. I'm not gonna let one dish determine the worth of this restaurant, with that being said I would go again!

    This was my first time trying this place I had heard some good things about it. The ambience was nice. The service was horrible. We had to ask for our server to be replaced because she had a horrible attitude ( Kelly ) which they quickly did. The young man and the lady that took over the table were great. The food and appetizers came out pretty fast and the food turned out to be very good. I would definitely try another location because the scallops were very good. Service 2/5 Atmosphere 3/5 Parking 3/5 Food 5/5 Location 4/5 Return Factor ( this location ) 0/5

    We arrived soon after the restaurant opened for the day. There was a short 15 minute wait. We were seated and our drink order was taken right away. Once the drinks arrived, our food order was taken. Half of the order arrived quickly. The other half sat on the bar until we told the server that it had been sitting there for a while. The sashimi was frozen in the middle. The bathroom here is crazy. You get dizzy the moment you walk in. Several children were crying because of the confusion of the mismatched lines. One child was getting motion sickness because of the lines. It was awful! If you visit, try to avoid the bathroom. I had to close my eyes in order to get in and out.

    Sushi Moriawase
    Renée M.

    Had dinner before the Bruno Mars concert across the street. Thankfully we made reservations and they were able to hold it with a 15-minute grace period as we had a lot of traffic to go thru. We made it to our 6pm reservation and were seated within a minute or 2. I heard a walk-in probably had to wait 30-40 minutes. The place was packed as it's in an outdoor shopping area with lots of restaurants & shops and probably other concert goers were there too. We were seated at a booth and it was definitely bustling. Our server, Audrey helped us and we took a few minutes to decide. I was only in the mood for Miso Soup, Green Salad with a Ginger dressing and hot, white rice. My cousins ordered the Sushi Moriawase, Sesame Chicken and Chirashi "Kaisen Don" type of bowls We also had an order of Jumbo Scallops with Mushrooms and hot, Green Tea for the table. We placed our orders & they came shortly thereafter. We had to ask for utensils and napkins as they weren't provided once we were seated. A couple of times my cousin had to ask for hotter tea as it was warm and I ended up asking for hot water on the side. My cousin liked her sushi platter and I liked my comfort food, esp. the refreshing salad! I would order that again! My other cousins ate their bowls but one mentioned to me later on that she felt a little sick when we got to the concert. I was wondering why she was a little quiet! She thinks the fish wasn't that fresh. We paid our bills on the hand-held device and left. Seems more like a Japanese restaurant more for the modern, upbeat ambiance than for quality and service. Perhaps they need more attention to detail on what's being served and when setting up tables for service.

    Ellie N.

    Quite pricey for the quality of the sushi. The unagi is way too sweet and the salmon eggs are super salty. We came in on Friday evening and the wait wasn't bad. They said 20 minutes but the table was ready in 10

    Beef Yakisoba
    Cortney B.

    Stopped in for dinner after seeing the new Mortal Kombat movie (10/10 recommend) I've always wanted to try this spot and luckily my date was willing to try it out with me! Our server Dillian was amazing, he let us know about their night time happy hour menu and special recommendations. I got the beef kimchi yakisoba, and it was DELICIOUS! Would absolutely come back and can't wait to try more food on the menu!

I really enjoy the ambiance and service there, but learned quickly that with larger groups the Peoria location is best for us. One of my kids graduated from college last week and he wanted to celebrate. All he wanted was to have sushi and to celebrate with our relatives who came from out of state. We didn't know if it'd be doable since we were on the other side of the valley. We called, gave them our party size (12) and eta. Low and behold, they were able to get us a reservation. We get on the road to make it to our reservation 0745-0800, they close at 1000pm worse case scenario we get there by 0800 and we still have a good amount of time for the AYCE 90 minute experience. We get there and they have a sign out for the AYCE, last call 0830pm. We go inquire about the last call and our reservation being at 0745. They reassure us that we would still get the full 90 minute experience. At about 0800pm they tell us our table they thought would be available is not available, they say individual parties instead. A guy comes out and tells us that the time frame they gave us was an estimated time, we let him know that was not what were told, but we also got a text confirmation. He tells us, well the Weather is nice. We can accommodate you outside. We agreed. They got the tables all settled and we're about to sit down. The same older man tells us, that the last call is 0830PM, ummm what? They tell us well we can try and get everything in, but the last call is at 0830. You can stay until 0900, what?! I let him know that was not what there hostess had told us, we told him they said we'd still be served and given the 90 Minute experience. He said well I don't know why they told you that, I am going to have to go let them know that is not the case. It's now well past 0800pm and restaurants are closing soon and we are a large party. I was incredibly disappointed at how everything was handled, and how easy it was for the gentleman to just dismiss and shrug his shoulders like oh well. I was incredibly disappointed at how everything was handled, and how easy it was for the gentleman to just dismiss and shrug his shoulders like oh well. What was supposed to be a special celebration for our son's graduation turned into unnecessary stress and disappointment. We made the reservation based on the information their staff provided and planned accordingly, only to be told something completely different once we arrived. Had we been told upfront that they couldn't honor the full AYCE experience or accommodate our party as promised, we would have made other arrangements. After being loyal customers and recommending this place to family and friends, this experience made it clear that customer service and honoring commitments are not a priority. Unfortunately, that was our last visit For reference, when they sent the last text, we were already onsite.

I opted to forego the "show" ... being seated at a community table for the chef show. But clearly this is the primary focus of this restaurant. The 5-10 smaller individual 2 and 4-tops are adjacent to the bar. The place was packed, and so noisy I couldn't even hear the other person at my table. But on the flip side, it looked and sounded like the people at the community "show" tables were having a ball. Lots of birthdays and celebrations. Anyway, great menu. Started with a couple inspired cocktails, and moved on to the fish taco's and lamb chop appetizers. Outstanding. Only nit, our server disappeared, and the app plates were left on table when our main courses showed up. We were also never serviced for another round of drinks. For our mains I ordered the Wagyu filet with asparagas and fried rice sides cooked medium. My dining guest ordered the salmon roll and a side of fried rice. My steak came out gray and rare, no sear crust at all. Very disappointing. On the flip side my dining partners portion of fried rice was astoundingly large, and good. Never did see our server again until the check was brought over. We were not even offered the dessert menu other than the small pineapple sherbet that came with my meal. Parking is brutal here.

The fish tasted so fresh, and the portions were generous enough to leave you completely satisfied. You can really tell that they put care into the quality and preparation of their food.

We dined around 6PM and were seated pretty quickly. It was probably the quickest service I've ever received at a KBBQ restaurant, although our table was conveniently located near the kitchen. I could tell the staff was working efficiently to get everything ready for the dinner rush they were about to have. I love their banchan (side dishes), especially the white radishes, potato salad, and fish cakes. From their appetizer menu, the corn cheese is a must order and be sure to get the steamed egg & sprinkle some salt and pepper on top. For meats, I always order the chadol baegi (beef brisket) and beef belly. I recommend getting some garlic, ssamjang sauce, and white rice to eat alongside the meat and appetizers. The Manna steak was pretty good as well, but you have to be careful not to overcook it because it can get tough quickly. My only wish is that they had thin sliced pork belly on the menu. It did get a little hot inside with all the grills going, especially with our table being toward the back. Overall, the food is always so delicious that I inevitably end up overeating and putting myself into food coma lol..
