From the buffet, I opted for onions, broccoli, baby corn, whole cracked egg, chicken, crab stick, shrimp, steak and fried tofu and, for the sauce, a blend of Mongolian, General Tso and garlic oil. After filling my bowl, I handed it over to the chef and went back to my table where a cooked dish was later served. We also tried the Tuna Naruto Roll which included crab, cucumber, avocado, and tuna, and a special requested addition of avocado and eel sauce. Presentation was beautiful and, while the roll turned out a bit different than described on the menu, it was fresh and tasty. Wait staff was friendly and helpful but the decor was definitely lacking ..

Not a huge fan! I love the concept but the execution doesn't work for me. In some cases it can…read morefeel like a money grab. Ok, so they charge a waste fee of when you order too much. I completely understand this. But I asked about ordering one entree and if the entree isn't finished, you still pay a waste fee, but then you can take it home. That didn't sit well with me. Ordering one entree isn't being wasteful. You just might not finish it. But anyway, I didn't order an entree. I ordered spring rolls, and a few sushi rolls. The two spring rolls were good. The sushi is so small. Most were really dry. I wouldn't return. But my friend definitely enjoyed herself. The atmosphere is really nice and the establishment was clean. Our waitress was extremely attentive but wasn't very knowledgeable on the menu. Try them out for yourself!

Our server, Luna, was very helpful in recommending dishes, and she was very pleasant. The interior of the restaurant is very upscale and attractive.

The hostess was also very friendly, greeting us when we came in and again when we were leaving. Our server was Jasmin, and unfortunately she didn't seem very friendly. She placed our bowls of soup out of reach, rarely refilled our drinks (only once, and that was because another server was filling them), and never checked in with us. When we asked questions, she seemed distracted and was looking behind us rather than engaging with us. When she brought the to-go boxes, she held them behind us instead of placing them in front of us. We were honestly thankful that another server stepped in to help, because we felt like we were inconveniencing Jasmin. I just wish we had cash so we could have tipped the cook and the other server separately.

The pricing was also very reasonable for the quality, so overall it felt like great value for the money. The only disappointing part was the service. The server who attended to us did not seem very welcoming or enthusiastic, and the overall attitude felt rather cold. When we asked for extra ginger and sauce, he also seemed somewhat unwilling, which made the experience less comfortable. Overall, the food itself was excellent and definitely worth coming back for, but I do think the service attitude and professionalism of the staff could be improved.

The actual location is very vibrant with an open floor plan that allows a lot of light ...now with the food ... I'll start by saying whoever made the sweet t needs a raise .... The menu is a lot but a good type of a lot with many choices. I ended up getting the Mr. ALLI-G Roll and the Red Snapper Bowl. Well welll well ... yelp family this Alli-G Roll we better than expected lol ... fried to perfection. Also the gator wasn't over cooked ... you can tell the preparers take their time and every dish has a different touch of excellence. Now for the Snapper Bowl .... I highly recommend ... the food bowl was delivered and I could still se the steam which I loved ... all the veggies were fresh fresh you could taste it. The snapper was amazing also. This spot leaves the extra seasoning up to you ... BUT your table has a bottle of yum yum sauce and you don't have to keep asking. Most importantly they are not stingy on the portions. I had half of my sushi rolls left and half of my bowl. Kudos to the staff also with the recommendations and setting the expectation of the dishes. They also worked as a team ... one waiter didn't see our drinks on the table and immediately asked if we put our order in. This was def worth the 35 min drive from the other side of town be sure to check them out. And another round of applause for the staff. I'll be back SOON .

The owner / chef Ryo takes care in what he's making and shows great pride in his finished product and it tastes great too. He gets fish that other restaurants do not have access to or have chosen not to purchase. I have seen flying fish, jellyfish, fresh Cobia, fresh Spanish mackerel, live clams and scallops and other seafood that you cannot obtain anywhere else. If you are looking for the best sushi in the area, you don't need to go anywhere else. You can go anywhere and buy a California roll but that is really not what I would consider sushi that's like going to Ruth Chris steakhouse and ordering a hot hot dog.

First time here. The staff were really nice, the sushi was pretty good, not the greatest- but the…read morebest we've had in Columbia. I'm not into fake crab which is all they offer (no snow or Dungeness crab available on their rolls), some rolls have lettuce on them (that's different) and a lot of mayo (I omitted it).

this is my new go to asian market in five points!…read more let's start off by saying, you have to push the red button to get in and out. idk if that's a japanese thing or not however, even in its simplicity, it's so dope. this is a dope market that has so many different japanese packaged treats. from fruit cream jelly candies to dried squid, chances are you'll find authentic japanese packaged goods here. don't expect many frills as it's a simple and small market but the true gem is the food they prepare fresh onsite. the owner is the absolute kindest person. they have bentos for you to order as well as dons but today i opted for shumai, takoyaki, and two different onigiri (tuna mayo and the ume which is japanese pickled plum). when i tell you this all hit!! they make the onigiri fresh to order and they have six different options for you to choose from. the takoyaki was so well balanced between sweet, savory and sour. the shumai were standard however still delivered. the onigiri was the star for me. i have missed the taste of japanese pickled plum (ume) and they hit it out of the park with this simple dish. if you've never had onigiri it's not super fancy or complicated. it's basically a filling of your choice, stuffed in a ball of rice and wrapped with nori. when done right, they are amazing! if you're in the mood for an authentic experience, please show the family over at furusato some love!

The karaage don is a fan favorite for a reason. Crispy and juicy chicken on a bed of cabbage, egg, and rice. The vegetable croquettes are always piping hot, fresh from the fryer. I'm not a fan of the bento boxes because you don't get much food. It's a couple pieces of meat with rice and some cold vegetables and maybe a slice of orange. Stick with the bowls and you'll be golden. The store also has a small selection of Japanese snacks, drinks, and sweets. I give this place a 4.9/5!
