    Crab rangoon roll.
    Dan T.

    We usually have pretty good luck picking out sushi spots in rural/off the main road spots. Places that you would just shrug off and give a hard pass on the sushi in... Today I about threw in the towel here in Springfield MO and said... "Nope. Not here." From the outside, and somewhat from the inside too, Misaki (formerly Little Tokyo) was a literal hole in the wall. I don't mind rolling the dice now and then, but this place screamed.... "Food poisoning!" The place was pretty empty at about 545 pm. The floor was kind of sticky. It looked like everyone else was ordering the hibachi style items... But the recent Yelp reviews were pretty good. Service was great and as it turned out.... So were the sushi rolls. Fried crispy roll Spicy jalapeño roll Crab rangoon roll Hot Springfield roll Cadillac roll A little heavy handed on the sauces, but the freshness of the rice, vegetables, cream cheese, seafood etc. still came through. I absolutely LOVED the spicy jalapeño roll! Glad I didn't cut and run. You can't always judge a book by the cover.... Especially when it comes to food! There's another dive next door to Misaki (Sam's Southern Eatery) that I have to check out now too!

    Updating review. They've changed their name to Misaki. Nothing else has seemed to change. Still our favorite Japanese restaurant in Springfield. Reasonable prices with generous portions. Menu items are same-- with exception of price increases for inflation. Friendly staff with efficient service. Sushi is best in town and delicious. Dine in, drive through, and carry out available. Consistently busy restaurant.

    Unassuming little joynt with quick and friendly service. Fish on the rainbow roll was fresh and hibachi beef plate was tasty. Good portions and pricing.

    Rainbow sushi roll

    This is a nice gem of a restaurant. A friend and I attended their lunch time serving during the week. The building is old and unassuming from the outside. Inside the restaurant the setting is clean and decorated nicelyin Japanese decor. Our server was most polite and helpful in ordering and service. I ordered the Hibachi chicken. It came with vegetables, fried rice, noodles and a side salad. The food tasted as good, if not better, than some high end Japanese restaurants in town. We shared a Rainbow sushi roll. I attached a pic. Again, it was very delicious. Overall, it is an excellent choice for great food. I will be back!

    Decent sushi for the north side. Not the best but the best choice if you must stay on the north side. Much better options tho.

    Only 3 stars, hibachi spicy chicken was great. The sushi rolls are something else. Will not return with much better sushi options in town.

    What is the salad dressing?

    Two choices. Ginger dressing or A type of Mayonnaise based yum yum dressing. Both very flavorful! Can purchase bulk by the cup also.

The food…read morewasn't lifechanging, but it was great for a quick lunch when we were stuck trying to choose between restaurants. The sushi was pretty good (but once again, not lifechanging -- just pretty good). The hibachi was quick and well-made. We weren't sure if we would be charged a flat rate or by plate, but for lunch it ended up being a flat rate (way cheaper than expected for how much we ate)! TL;DR, good, clean place to grab a yummy lunch but probably won't be getting any Michelin stars any time soon.

    Amazin Buffet - Mediocre at Best…read more Let's start with the food. My wife and I both tried a wide variety of items, but unfortunately, most of what we tried was bland and lacked flavor. There were a few things that stood out. The crab rangoons were very good, and the pepper chicken was pretty good as well, although I've definitely had better. The hot and sour soup had good flavor, but it was noticeably watered down. Unfortunately, the sushi was dried out and nearly tasteless, and even the sweet and sour sauce seemed extremely watered down. Overall, I would describe the food as mediocre at best. There simply wasn't much that made the meal memorable or made me want to go back. The service was pretty standard throughout the meal, but when it was time to leave, we actually had to stop our server and ask for our check. Not a huge issue, but certainly not the kind of service you expect when dining out. Affordability was another disappointment. Our bill for two people came to about $50 before the tip, and I always tip for good service. At that price, I expect considerably more from a buffet. To be fair, the experience wasn't horrible. We didn't have a terrible meal, and there were a couple of items we enjoyed. However, there just wasn't enough good about the experience to justify spending that kind of money or giving it a second chance. Unfortunately, I can't recommend Amazin Buffet. There are better options out there for the money.

    This was my first time visiting Springfield, and I didn't expect to find a place like this…read more The restaurant has a really fun Japanese anime vibe, with Totoro decor and even lucky cat (maneki-neko) touches throughout, which I absolutely loved. It honestly felt like the owner might be Japanese or Chinese, because the whole atmosphere was thoughtfully done and very authentic. The service staff were all friendly and welcoming, and overall the dining experience was great. We did have a delay with one of our dishes (waited over 30 minutes), but the manager noticed the issue right away, took responsibility, and handled it really well. They even offered us complimentary spring rolls, which I really appreciated. That kind of attentiveness and care makes a big difference. The food was solid and enjoyable--of course, you can't compare it to bigger cities, but for Springfield, this is definitely a great find. They also have a robot that helps deliver food, which was such a fun and unique touch. I'm here for work, traveling from out of state, and we actually ended up coming back four days in a row--which probably says everything. You can really tell the owner put a lot of heart into this place--from the decor to the overall experience. I appreciate being able to enjoy a different culture like this, especially in a smaller city. Springfield has given me a really great impression and some wonderful memories. Would definitely recommend

My favorite thing to get is their omo box, it is such a great deal with a little bit of everything. If you've never had sake, I recommend their sake flight. After trying their flight, I am now a fan of sake. The only downside, is it gets really busy on the weekends and the wait can get pretty long. However, if you prepare for a wait when you go or go during a slower time, it's a great place!
