    Teriyaki chicken with steamed veggies (no onion or mushrooms)
    Natalie H.

    This was my first time here, and I gotta say I was impressed. I wasn't sure if i would like it but after some persistence from my husband we decided to give it a try. Upon arriving, it's a very small hole-in-the-wall place. It wasn't busy but that's okay, we prefer it that way. The employee at the counter was very sweet and provided really good customer service! The prices were really good too. $9.95 for teriyaki chicken entree is a really great deal! When you dine in, you have complementary yum yum sauce and they bring your order to your table. The vegetables tasted really good. Seasoned but not overly seasoned! The chicken was perfect quality and taste and the fried rice was moist. When combined with yummy yum sauce, it tasted so delicious!

    This place was so convenient and a great find. There's a drive thru window. The young man that was at the window took the time to tell me the new menu prices and was super help.

    My wife has eaten here many times and was always very complimentary but I never ate here until today. The place is not the most appealing from the outside but don't let that put you off. Nothing that a paint job couldn't fix. More importantly, the restaurant inside and food are actually quite good. I think this used to be an old fast food place as it still has the drive through window. You walk in and order from their menu at the counter and they cook it fresh in their open air kitchen and then bring it out to you. Nothing fancy but fresh, hot, and well prepared. I ordered their steak and shrimp. Plenty for two. I couldn't finish mine. Nice fresh cut vegetables cooked on the flat top grill; tender steak and juicy shrimp in a nice sauce. You can add white sauce if you wish. Their white sauce was also very good. I was very happy with my meal. It was tasty, large portions, and fresh. I also liked their rice because it was soft and fluffy. Not the cheap hard grain rice. No problem recommending this place for a quick high quality meal.

    They have a non-Americanized approach to teriyaki chicken and interesting mix of vegetables to create a rather tasty palette.

    We loved this place when it first opened here in Hixson (to this location and the Cambridge Square…read morelocation) but the last couple of times I ordered the filet mignon & teriyaki rice, and asked for the Filet to be cooked medium. It was overdone and chewy. Filet mignon should not be chewy at all. I love good food, make lots recommendations, yelp, share on social media, etc BUT and didn't want to write them off just yet. I called them and let them know, they said I had to bring my receipt and the food back to inspect it. They said they could re-do my order. They made it right. They Re-did the order and the meat the 2nd time came out perfectly. It was very tender and just melted in my mouth. I'm glad I called them (which I don't normally do). The staff was great. Will definitely be back again. Will definitely recommend.

    THERE WAS HAIR IN MY FOOD!! (In the picture laying across the broccoli and going on to the steak…read more Same pic; one with the flash on & one without flash) As you can see from the picture, the food was untouched. This is exactly how it came (noodles at the bottom with veggies & protein on top). All I did was take the top of the lid off & seen a piece of hair laying there. I drove all the way back for a refund and had to wait 15mins for the manager to come back from a "supply run" to get a refund. The manager came in and was very rude! Never acknowledged me with a "Hey", "How are you doing" or anything. He had an attitude because he had to give me a refund, like the hair in the food was my fault. Also, he never apologized for the problem. The only thing he said during the entire interaction was, "the money will go back on the card"... Not even a "have a good day". The manager was more mad than me when I'm the one who drove all the way home, sat down, opened the container and couldn't even eat because it's hair in my food. Then had to drive all the way back to Hixson, waited 15mins on him to come back from running errands to even get a refund. TIP for Manager: Having your employees wear hairnets, would prevent you from getting mad at the customer about doing a refund because one of YOUR EMPLOYEE'S HAIR fell in THEIR food. (:

    I stopped here a few weeks ago with my co-driver before getting back on the road. I had been…read morecraving sushi for a while and found Sake Roll & Grill on Google Maps. To start with the positive, the sushi itself was actually solid for an all-you-can-eat spot. AYCE sushi can sometimes be hit or miss, but the rolls and sashimi here were better quality than I expected. We arrived around 8:30 PM on a Sunday. The restaurant closes at 10 PM and the place was still fairly busy with customers. We were greeted kindly by a host with pink hair and seated near the TV across from the sushi station. Service overall was friendly. Where the experience became frustrating was how early the sushi bar shut down. By around 9 PM, every sushi chef had already broken down their stations. I'm talking fully cleaned cases, wiped counters, and the sushi bar basically closed. There were around five to seven sushi chefs working, so it was surprising to see the entire sushi station shut down while customers were still dining. At the very least it would make sense to keep one or two sushi chefs working closer to closing time, or let customers know something like "last call for sushi is at 8:45." We weren't told anything when we walked in. I've spent about 17 years working in kitchens and culinary, and in most restaurants if something is about to be 86'd or is nearing last call, the staff communicates that clearly to the guests. To be fair, the sushi I did receive was good. What I ordered: Miso soup Two crab salads Avocado salad Snapper sashimi Tuna sashimi Tako sashimi Spicy California roll White Tiger roll Spicy tuna roll Crabmeat roll Cucumber roll And yes, I finished everything. My co-driver was honestly surprised I was going to eat all that, but I don't leave food behind. I even had room for another roll or two. The sashimi and rolls were good quality overall. A few pricing things were a little confusing though. Sashimi costs an extra fifty cents per piece while nigiri does not, even though the only difference is the rice. There is also an eighteen percent charge for wasted food plus fifty cents per uneaten piece. I understand discouraging waste, but the combination of those charges felt a bit excessive. The base AYCE price was around twenty-two to twenty-three dollars, which is fair. However the additional charges can stack up quickly. The miso soup was unfortunately the weakest part of the meal. It tasted extremely watered down, almost like plain broth. My total ended up being around thirty-three dollars after tax, which isn't terrible, but the early sushi bar shutdown and lack of communication made the experience more frustrating than it needed to be. Overall the sushi quality was solid and I'd still come back again. Just give customers a heads up about last call for sushi and this place would easily be a home run.

    Most sushi restaurants aim for quiet elegance. Sake Roll &…read moreGrill went with giant sports bar television and hoped the sushi would keep up. This place is a little off the beaten path, but the reviews looked promising, so we decided a small sushi road trip was in order. I walked in expecting the usual sushi restaurant vibe. Instead I was greeted by a television so large it could probably pick up signals from space. When I say massive, I mean it takes up an entire wall. Nothing pairs with delicate nigiri quite like a television the size of a drive-in movie screen. The all you can eat menu is a little limited when it comes to rolls, which was a bit surprising. But the nigiri selection was actually pretty strong and, more importantly, surprisingly fresh. Plenty of options and the fish held up well over multiple rounds. The cooked items were also plentiful, which helps if someone in your group is not fully committed to the raw fish lifestyle. Overall, I enjoyed the food. The service, however, moved at a pace that felt very... deliberate. Very, very slow. Slow enough that you start wondering if the rice is being strategically deployed to fill you up before your next order arrives. Still, the food was good and the experience enjoyable enough to land at a slightly above average four stars. Tip: come with extra time and patience. Settle in, watch a good sporting event on that enormous TV, and pack away some pretty solid sushi. Four stars. A little off the beaten path, a little slow on the service, but good sushi and possibly the biggest TV you will ever see in a sushi restaurant.

The overall parking area is tight, so be cautious as you select your space. Walking in, the area is bright and clean. The ordering counter is directly in front with a large menu on the wall overhead. There is also a kiosk to place your order, although the server said I could also order from him. That is what I wound up doing, although I did see several subsequent customers use the kiosk. It did not look like they were having any trouble, so that would seem to be a viable option. The restaurant was over half full and there were several take out orders picked up while I was waiting. The pickup point is on the end of the counter to the right. My food took about 15 minutes to arrive. It was very well packaged. The Atlantic and Shogun poke bowls were both excellent. The base rice seemed to be the same between the dishes and was a solid base to build on. The additional ingredients were all fresh and flavorful. The salmon and tuna were fresh and plentiful. My dining partner and I both were surprised at how filling the bowls were and we each had unexpected leftovers. Overall, Ichi Ramen is an excellent addition to the Hixson restaurant options. They offer an excellent meal for a fair price in a clean and bright location.
