Currently my favorite Lodi sushi place. We've been coming here much longer than we've been living…read morehere, and the quality has remained consistent. We can usually depend on it being busy as they offer a small dining area with limited tables outside, so when we do walk in we do so prepared. They do have a reservation system but to my knowledge we have not used it. We just walk up and greet the staff person at the door to check in, and they tell us what the wait is like. If it's over a half hour we usually kill time in Raley's. It's usually not longer than a 20 minute wait. If you are a large party, things might get cramped, but I've seen them pull it off with gusto. We've never had a party larger than four and it's been great. I really like the folks who work here. And the food is great too. They have a few tvs and a little sushi bar at the back, and the noise level is about average depending on how many children are dining with their families. Komachi has a dedicated vegetarian menu and I've tried most of the things on it. I love that they have marinated shiitake rolls, my fave of the standard veggie sushi innards. Yummy! My favorite rolls on the menu are the Garden Roll (steamed asparagus, avocado, cucumber, kanpyo, and shiitake), Shittake Maki, and the Rich Jumbo Roll (fried asparagus, fried onion, avocado, cream cheese, and cucumber). Appetizers I have tried and enjoyed very much include the Agedashi tofu, fried brussels sprouts (I have to remember to have the fish flake removed from this dish though), and of course, wakame (seaweed salad). They do have ramen, donburi, bento boxes, teppanyaki (the tofu one I look forward to trying soon!) and salads as well if you're not in the sushi mood. I like their seasonal drink menu, featuring wine, soju, and beer. Komachi is also reasonably priced. Yeah, pretty much everything I'm looking for when me and my boo are craving sushi. Vegan Corner: several items can be made vegan upon request, but there is not a dedicated menu. Bathroom Report: noisy pipes will not hurt you, at least it's smelling fresh right?

It's been years since I've been here and I have good experiences in the past. But I came here for…read moredinner on a weekday with my friend and was a bit underwhelmed. We were seated immediately which was nice and the place was bustling. The server checked on us periodically in a timely manner throughout the dinner. My friend and I both ordered the sashimi-nigiri combo and though we got the sides of salad and miso soup right away, the actual sushi took quite a while to arrive. The miso soup was also a bit too salty and grainy for my liking. My friend and I were deep into our conversation but the lengthy time it took a while just to bring out our one orders each became noticeable enough for us to wonder where it was. My big takeaway from our experience with the Nigiri and Sashimi: not prime quality. I have been to other sushi places for nigiri and have had better quality and tasting fish elsewhere. This was kind of bland and sad. I want to come back to Komachi and give it an honest shot with the other items on the menu, but my usual favorites (sashimi and nigiri) did not impress me at all... I hope I can return to update this review with better things to say..

Absolutely terrible experience. We ordered sushi and entrées for four people, and somehow pretty…read moremuch everything was disappointing. The sushi was flavorless and tasted like it had been sitting around way too long. The entrées weren't any better--bland, small portions, and zero indication that anyone in the kitchen actually cared about what they were putting out. For the amount of food we ordered, you'd expect at least a few things to be decent. Nope. Honestly, the whole meal was ass. Old-tasting, flavorless food, tiny portions, and absolutely no care put into it. Four people walked away disappointed. Would not recommend and definitely won't be back. Don't want anything in return take this for what it is

We really wanted to give Shangri La a fair chance because our first order in the last 5 years was…read morethrough Uber Eats and not entirely the restaurant's fault we had such a bad experience. So we headed in for dinner a couple nights ago and, unfortunately, it was worse than our smooshed Uber Eats delivery order. I don't want to bash any small businesses but there were so many things that went wrong. The salmon on the lion king roll was noticeably stinky fishy. I eat sake sashimi at least 3 or 4 times a month, it's my favorite fish and it shouldn't be "fishy" at all unless it's on its way to going bad. This was the biggest reason for deciding to leave this review instead of letting it go. Someone could get sick. The best roll was the warrior's roll, and I'm not very big on the texture of unagi but it was really good. My step little loved her chicken teriyaki which I also tried and agreed. The chicken thighs were moist and delicious but could have done without being completely drowned in thickk teriyaki. The miso soup was fine but had wonton strips in it which I'd never seen before. And lastly, the stuffed mushrooms were delicious, but they are the size of a quarter and cost $11.95 for 4 teeny tiny mushrooms. Our server was trying really hard but it was obvious he hadn't had much training. He seemed overwhelmed and was definitely struggling and that feeling just got worse and worse through the meal. Everything we ordered came out randomly and with no organization. We ordered a large Kirin after verifying with him that they had bottled Kirin. They did not have it bottled and he brought us a draft and when we asked about the bottle he was apologetic but said "he already poured it..." So we felt like we had to take the draft. It spilled all over the table while I tried to pour it into two glasses because we were sharing. The check took a solid 20+ minutes after we ate and at that point I started getting irritated. Our server walked past us at least 10 times and I'm pretty sure he forgot but we couldn't get his attention. When he brought it over, he cleared our plates to box up all of the sushi we'd barely touched and he accidentally spilled soda on one of our rolls. Honestly, I wasn't even mad at the kid, it's not his fault he wasn't trained. The restaurant needs to work on whatever is making the salmon fishy and bring in someone to train their front of house staff. We unfortunately will not be returning, probably ever.

Had the nicest and quietest dinner here last night. This was our first time and while it's a really…read moresmall little dining room, the low lighting and light jazz music playing in their sound system made it extra cozy and nice. We were the only customers and got there around 6:30. My only critique is that there were a lot of employees and we were the only patrons, yet our two servers did seem distracted and forgot a couple of things throughout the meal. I'm giving grace for that because it was a very slow night and they were probably just chit chatting in the back. I would've had no issue giving this 5 stars if it wasn't for that one small thing. Service otherwise was very friendly and quick The food was fantastic! As a Japanese American who's been eating sushi since I was in the womb, I have to disagree with the yelper who recently said the rolls are too small and too expensive. The rolls we ordered were huge and the fish was very fresh and on par with M sushi and Komachi. Is it a luxurious loungy city style vibe? No. But the food is great and the prices are fair imo for the extremely fresh and delicious fish. We ordered two bowls of miso, salmon tataki roll (I only wished for more onions!), the spicy crunchy scallop roll (my new favorite roll in Lodi), snow crab CA roll, and I think the last one was a dragon roll with unagi. They were all great. We were def pleasantly surprised by Yume and will absolutely be coming back.

No great flavor and a complete disappointment. I would come back to try more sushi but definitely not the ramen.

They mentioned that there would be a cake cutting fee and my niece says says that it's fine. We can cut it ourselves. During the entire dinner, our waitress was nowhere to be found. We had to ask her for refills. She was absolutely not attentive, but the part that was the most egregious was when she brought out a birthday ice cream and we sang, I let her know that we had brought our own cake for this so she goes to get it and just plops down a brown paper bag that we brought everything in right there on the edge of the table. I couldn't even believe it! I told her we had candles in there, and I was hoping that we could use the cake we brought with the candles to sing my dad Happy birthday. She goes back and comes back with the candles unlit and struggles to light them in front of everyone. It was just really lackluster and for such an expensive dinner you would think that there would be better service. I've literally had better service at Chilis..

This spot is located in a shopping plaza and there are plenty of parking. Inside is well organized and clean with plenty of dining tables and cool wall decors. There is a wall-mounted TV displaying the culture. Once inside, I was greeted and welcomed to pick any open table. There is a table-top digital touch pad which displays the full menu and browse through to select items to order including drinks except for water which can be requested from the server. Many different selections for ramen flavor and dim sum!! Placed an order the following: ***Wonton ramen with bok choy and egg, mild spiciness $15.99 - 5/5 ***Shrimp and pork shaomai $13.95 - 5/5 ***Green tea (cold) $3 - 4/5 The server also provided some water as requested. The wonton ramen was sooo good and delicious! And I love bok choy anytime! The shrimp and pork shaomai was very savory and tasty! The chili sauce could be a bit more spicy but it was still good! The green tea cold drink was very refreshing and soothing, especially on a hot day. Staff are very friendly and courteous. Great customer service and very respectful. Will be back again when in the area. I highly recommend!

I think they should give you an option to pay at the tablet too though, instead of going to the front counter. I imagine the lineup can still get long if it is busy. But it worked out for us on the day that my friend and I came. It did not take long after we placed our order for each of the items to come out. I appreciated that they brought the sweet item last as our "dessert". I am excited that 88Bao Bao has expanded their menu options too! For example, the cute panda custard bun is something I haven't tried before. It's not as cute as the pictures though, just keep in mind hahah. I have to say, though, a lot of the prices have gone up since the last time I was here; and between two people who had ordered about four or five dishes, two fruit drinks, with taxes and tip it up to $95! I think this place does well for their dumplings and xiao long bao. The wonton chili oil wasn't as flavorful or spicy as I am used to at other Chinese restaurants. For the small space, they certainly use it well with several tables available. They keep the dining area and the bathroom relatively clean as well. The restaurant was 3/4 full when we were there, but still not too noisy that you couldn't have conversations. The TV plays random YouTube music videos. Overall, a decent experience. I like that they had expanded their menu options and provide a tablet to order at the tables. I just hope that they can maintain the quality of their many items. It has gotten a little more expensive, understandably, so I don't imagine coming back too often. I always love their guava fruit drink though so I do recommend that.
