    a plate of food and a glass of water
    Veta J.

    So good. Appetizer was crab wontons, super good! I got Teriyaki chicken and fried rice. I would recommend. Not too busy on a Friday night, didn't have to wait long for food

    What a disaster. 2 orders of Chicken teriyaki with veggies and fried rice one with soup one with salad. Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls 2 sushi rolls For takeout. They said it would be ready in 30-min, we got there at 35-min and had to wait forever. Got home... no soup, no salad. Chicken was overcooked, dry as dirt, no flavor. Rice was not fried Veggies ... no veggies just soggy ass cabbage. Egg rolls were actually soggy Crab Rangoon were inedible. Tried to call... two hang ups and a 30-minute hold later. Never again.

    The sushi was on point. The food is fresh and it's always busy. In town for vacation with a friend and it was worth the trip to this little gem. They have the best seaweed I've ever had. They have a few vegan options.

    The mega power booster lunch
    Terry M.

    Good, but not great. I really enjoy sushi, and I was looking forward to trying out this place. My first impression suffered when the shumai I ordered as an appetizer was not brought out before my meal. Add to that a very salty (in my opinion) mushroom soup and an unexceptional salad. The Mega Power Booster lunch tray I ordered was actually pretty good. I gave the waitress credit (and a larger than normal tip) for comping the shumai and for being extremely accommodating to a grouch of a customer who knocked over a table when he came in. Rude! I'll go back, in hopes that my next experience will be better. It would be nice to have a good sushi go to spot here on the island.

    Chef Special
    Jillian D.

    Unique, extra fancy rainbow roll.... the sushi is great and the fried rice is off the chain! The chef special was also phenomenal. Service was swift and friendly. Tokyo Rose (wine and cold saki blend) was interesting. I ordered two and walked out feeling like a rockstar. I will definitely be back for the food. The ambiance isn't anything to rave about but the food is so good that it didn't matter. Hole is the wall sushi joint that is small and nothing to rave about until you order the sushi. They will create anything you want as well. I told the sushi chef what my favs were previously in other sushi places and he created me a roll that was to die for. Salmon, eel, seaweed salad, cucumber inside, spicy tuna and smoked salmon with Caviar and roe with crunch and sesame seed oil drizzle. Oh God I'm going to need a hand truck to roll me out of here.

    I added the pepper.

    If I could give this place 6 stars I would. I have been here twice now and this place has blown me…read moreaway both times. This place is owned by the group that also owns places such as Sunday Sunday and Flying Monk Noodle House (both also equally and amazingly fantastic). The service was impeccable this go around and I really wished I caught the server's name but, alas, I didn't. I do remember the server wearing a really cool Levi and Strauss belt buckle (so if anyone from the restaurant reads this please give this individual kudos). I will say with the way customer service can be these days it truly was a breath of fresh air. We started out with the hamachi sushi maki style. SUPERB! The fish was so fresh and delicious. I ordered the hamachi poke bowl (I obviously like yellowtail ) I really need everyone to know how fresh this place is. We also had the Laos Lemongrass which was pork belly with rice, kimchi and some veggies. It also came with a curry sauce which was absolutely yummy with the pork. I also really like their iced tea. It tastes like Thai tea but without all of the sugar. Very aromatic. If you are ever in Savannah, this is the place to go. Cute atmosphere, fantastic service and extraordinary food.

    This place was such a cute date night spot. We were able to make same-day reservations on Resy,…read morewhich was a huge plus. The inside is gorgeous...very green, modern, and aesthetic without feeling overdone. Jane was amazing and super knowledgeable about the menu. She helped guide us through a few options and everything she recommended was so fresh and flavorful. We ordered the Yellowtail and Eel sashimi along with the Dragon Roll, and honestly every bite tasted high quality. I paired everything with a Rose while my husband had a Sidecar, which he loved. Between the atmosphere, cocktails, and fresh sushi, this place is definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

But, I am leaving this…read morereview because I think it's important for the public to know so they can open their eyes to the truth around them. Also, I went to culinary school when I was younger at The French Culinary Institute in San Jose, CA. And have worked as a prep cook, line cook, sous chef, head chef, private chef, catering chef, and also have worked as a server in the front of house for a lot of my life, too. Not saying I know everything, cuz I have much more to learn. Just saying I'm reliable......unlike too many others here that are not, but should be! Anyway... Came here for dinner. On their menu was "lobster & shrimp RAVILOI." - the "ravioli" were literally the Flock to the Woks left over shrimp dumplings. And the "sauce" on the "raviloi" was the left over base soup from the vaults lemoncoconut soup. Drinks were fine. (This was also a few months ago, I just haven't had much free time to write this til now). So, I forget what else we ordered, clearly cuz it was forgettable, underwhelming, & disappointing. I will never forget that Ravioli dish because it has kept me from this restaurant since. I've seen many restaurants Owners depart completely away from their restaurants after they grow lucrative & efficient enough to operate without their presence. But, every single time they do that, SOOOO MANY THINGS fall under the same satisfactory umbrella/standards as they once did. How can the person who owns almost everyyyy single restaurant in Savannah be truly present at any of them? And having so many at once I'm sure you would see lots of food waste and try to prevent that to save dimes & pennies, thinking the reg tourist or human won't notice....but, we do. It's honestly gross to me. On the west coast cooking is so competitive. Younger generations are literally out there traveling & battling to be the best. And we all hear how wonderful Savannah's food Scene is, like to the point you'd want to travel here just for the food. But I can NOT tell you how truly disappointing this city's food scene is. Aside from a few really good restaurants-(Common Thread for most consistent & overall best ever & The Grey for their kitchen and cooks)- in my eyes, most everything else is tourist food and not truly cared about. Sorry Savannah but I'm only saying this because I know there could be wayyy more effort put into your every day work. And if you're going to go out and buy all of the property and own almost ever other restaurant here-wouldn't you want it to actually be GOOD for each customer instead of just GOOD for the marketing photos?

We had their crispy spicy tuna appetizer with crispy square rice on the bottom and they were so good. For the main entree I ordered their butabara kimchi ramen and it was what I needed, the broth was rich, savory, and the kimchi really brings the broth flavor more dimensional. The ramen noodle texture was cooked to perfection and the pork belly paired so well in this ramen. My husband ordered the A5 wagyu rib eye and the steak melt in your mouth.

There's a great selections of Japanese Whiskey, Sake and cocktails. We had a reservation and when we entered it was a bit confusing with people all over the place in the entrance not sure whether waiting to speak to the hostess or just casually waiting to be called for their table. After getting sorted we spoke to the hostess and then were shortly seated. The waiter came and took our drink orders right away. We got 2 cokes and a Whiskey Sour with Japanese Whiskey. After waiting about 15 min the waiter came back to take our food order, however we still had not gotten our drinks. We asked and said they were coming swiftly. Finally after 10 minutes later our drink orders came in. The cokes were flat but the Whiskey Sour was really good. I can't remember the waiters name but honestly she came by maybe 4 times the whole night and did not have the best attitude. The best thing about Ukiyo hands down was the food. Everything from the Ramen to the wagyu bao buns, just Wow. The wagyu was so crispy and just melted in your mouth. The ramen had amazing flavor profiles and was perfectly spiced. We also ordered the Chicken Karaage and this was so tender with the citrus mayo. This was also pretty big so were easily filled with all these dishes. The food and cocktails were amazing but the service really did disappoint from the delays and infrequent interactions.

Verenice was the BEST! Give that girl a raise or a promotion! She was doing it all! From taking orders, bringing food out, and cleaning up tables! She helped us navigate the menu/ordering. She also brought out our food to the table and was so helpful during our first time here. There were lots of ramen options to choose from. You choose your broth and meat option and that tells you your price. You can add extra toppings for additional costs. Runs about less than $20 a person. They have fountain drink options as well as other Asian drinks. They have rice bowl options as well as meat on a stick. They don't have kids meal options but it's about $8 for noodles and broth. Which is a good option for kids. I ordered shoyu broth for my son. I didn't realize it would taste so salty. I understand it's a soy sauce broth. But most ramen broths I've had isn't to that degree. I asked if they could add hot water to the hot water to make it less salty. Verenice again was so helpful, she brought the ramen back out and said if I needed more water added to just ask. I will say I did not appreciate the additional comments from some of the kitchen staff. The place is decorated with lots of anime characters. They have a vending machine with goodies. A claw machine with stuffed animals and lots of Pokémon cards for sale.

I always get the Spicy Lemongrass Noodles (baseline usually not very spicy- you can add table side spices to your liking). They vary a little year to year but I always enjoy them. Cold air inside, waters stayed full, but it can be fairly noisy depending who you're sat next to and how busy the place is. Tables can be a bit tight for a couple as you'll only get a 2 top (they get busy and need to save the larger tables for bigger parties).

Red spicy noodles were spicy and yummy! 5 spice BBQ pork plate was super flavorful, loved this dish! Lychee sake martini just tasted like lychee juice which was great. They also add in 2 lychees to eat/garnish! A good spot, nothing to write home about. Probably wouldn't come back, there was nothing wrong with the place, just nothing exceptional.
