The place was clean and so were the menus. Unfortunately there weren't that many diverse options for sushi, my partner isn't a big fan of tuna and likes salmon but there weren't many salmon rolls. Mostly tuna and shrimp tempura rolls. We tried 3 rolls for 31, the 9 nigiri sampler, shrimp tempura and the salmon teriyaki bento. This wasn't our favorite sushi as all of the fish tasted very fishy and maybe not as fresh. The salmon in the bento was good though. We did not like the Subaru roll at all, extremely fishy and the daikon enhanced that flavor. We even tried squeezing lemon on our fish but it didn't help too much. The screaming o and piano were okay. The rolls also weren't rolled the best, especially the California. Completely fell apart when you picked it up. This wasn't a horrible experience and we ate everything but the Subaru but I probably wouldn't come back.

The staff was incredibly friendly, offered excellent recommendations, and checked on us regularly without being intrusive. Our food came out surprisingly fast after ordering, which was a nice bonus. The restaurant was very clean, including the bathrooms, which says a lot about how well they maintain the entire place. The music was at the perfect volume, and the lighting and overall ambience created a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere. The food was excellent from start to finish. The sushi was fresh and delicious, with the Monster Roll easily being my favorite. The hibachi steak was cooked perfectly--tender, flavorful, and seasoned just right. The crab rangoons were the best I've ever had--crispy, flavorful, and generously filled. Even the kids loved their meals and cleaned their plates, which is always a huge win. On top of everything else, the prices offered great value for the quality of the food, service, and overall experience. If you're looking for outstanding sushi, delicious hibachi, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere, I highly recommend OKOME. We're already looking forward to coming back again very soon!

It's imitation. Many imitation crab contains wheat. Again - ask ask ask. Guess what? It does contain wheat. So they served us both of our allergens. The manager came over and explained the hibachi they served us also contained wheat. And he blamed the waitress. When we explained that it was not her fault but the kitchen's he said he'd go ask the "chef" for his explanation. He returned and told us that the crab roll has gluten in the mayo too. He wasn't sympathetic or understanding of the severity but did go right back and added GF to several menu items that may or may not be gluten free The ambiance in the restaurant is too loud. The quality is on par with Japan Express but the management and kitchen's lack of understanding their ingredients and safe food handling and preparation combined with the arrogance won't have us back.

It was Easter Sunday. Apr 5, 2026. This was my first visit to TDLLO Ramen & Sushi. There was a…read morecocktail bar and a sushi bar. I opted for a table (not the booth). The decor included dark wooden furniture, hardwood floors, door curtains for kitchen, and a ceiling lamp in the shape of a fish. On each table was a pale bottle with a small spout and a large stopper. This was for the black sauce, and the first time I have seen black sauce provided at tables in anything other than the small transparent bottle with double-spout cap. Next to the kitchen doorway was a black board announcing "What's New". The menu is printed on black-colored pages bound by black leather cover, which matched the black uniforms of the staff. I ordered my usual ramen: tonkotsu. It was served with a renge and a fork, the latter for those uncomfortable with using chopsticks. That didn't apply to me. I put the fork to the side and used the wooden chopsticks. The tonkotsu had three thick pieces of chasu, lots of menma slices, some kikurage strips, and a soft-boiled egg served in two halves. Though a little saltier than I would like, the broth was still delicious and complimented the food well, especially the chasu. It had a mild spiciness that caused slight irritation to my throat, but otherwise was worth consuming the entire bowl. It was about 11:10am when I arrived. Besides myself, there was one other party of two. The cocktail bar had two large TVs, one playing CNN and the other playing a sports program. The volume level was barely a whisper. Most of the time, I didn't hear anything. By 11:45am, two more parties of two showed up. The atmosphere was quiet the entire time, and definitely a great place to relax and enjoy a meal during lunch time. As I was leaving, I took a look at the outdoor dining area. It is housed in a patio next to the building. It has plenty of seating and is almost enclosed but for a cased doorway. I was impressed that TDLLO is accommodating to its customers during rain or shine (unlike Noodles Blvd in Cary). I returned on Jul 3, 2026, this time with a friend. We chose a booth and were served by a young lady Lexi. My friend and I ordered veggie ramen and shoyu ramen respectively. Had I paid attention to the picture in the menu, I would not be surprised when the shoyu ramen was served. It had two thick slices of chasu, a soft-boiled egg cut in two halves, lots of corn kernels, slices of fish cake and menma. Essentially, it was tonkotsu ramen with more ingredients. The pork broth tasted saltier than the tonkotsu's but without the mild spiciness of the latter. The saltiness was also apparent in my friend's veggie ramen. The shoyu ramen I had at S.E.A Ramen & Asian Kitchen (Knoxville, TN) had a different broth. It was shoyu, not pork bone, and the flavor wasn't as strong. In contrast, TDLLO's shoyu ramen had a much richer flavor. The saltiness didn't ruin the dining experience. Like the last visit, there was plenty of seating. The quiet atmosphere was conducive for conversations without having to raise our voices. Customer service was smooth. Lexi made sure we were pleased with everything. As we were leaving, a male staff gave us a polite farewell. My friend was impressed with not only the food but also the restaurant's decor. Once again, TDLLO Ramen & Sushi has my recommendation.

My experience at Mizu Japanese Steakhouse was one filled with delightful flavors and excellent service! The moment I entered the restaurant, I was warmly welcomed by the staff, setting the tone for a wonderful dining experience. The standout feature of Mizu was undoubtedly the impeccable service. The staff was attentive, courteous, and always ready to assist with any requests. From guiding us through the menu to ensuring our drinks were promptly refilled, their dedication to providing a memorable dining experience was evident throughout the meal. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the skilled teppanyaki chefs who put on an entertaining show right before our eyes. The sizzling performance, along with the delicious aroma of the food being prepared, added to the overall ambiance and excitement of the dining experience. As for the food itself, the flavors were nothing short of extraordinary. The quality of the ingredients and the expert craftsmanship of the chefs shone through in each dish. From the mouthwatering hibachi grilled meats to the perfectly seasoned sushi rolls, every bite was a true delight. However, it's important to note that Mizu's popularity also means the restaurant can get quite busy, especially on weekends. The space is relatively small, and this popularity can lead to a bustling atmosphere, which might not be everyone's preference if seeking a more intimate or quiet dining experience. Despite the crowded environment, the staff remained composed and attentive, ensuring that even amidst the hustle and bustle, our needs were well taken care of. While the wait times on busy weekends might be a bit longer, the delectable food and stellar service more than make up for it. If you're looking for a fantastic Japanese dining experience, Mizu Japanese Steakhouse is undoubtedly a top-notch choice. The combination of skillful teppanyaki chefs, delicious cuisine, and attentive service creates an enjoyable and unforgettable outing. Just be sure to plan your visit ahead, especially on weekends, to fully savor all the delights this restaurant has to offer. read more

We just had water to drink, but that's okay. My husband's entree was very spicy! We began with the Shrimp & Vegetable Tempura. The shrimp was quite fresh, and the flavor gave a great mouthful of taste and some oiliness (but, not dripping). Flavor! Also, we ordered Negimaki, which are grilled beef-wrapped scallions with teriyaki sauce. One bite is the way to eat those. Love the chopsticks, too. We were each served Miso Soup and two small salads (with ginger dressing). Sure did like that (the soup had good flavor, but was a bit salty for our tastes.) My entree was Teriyaki. I am not familiar with a lot of Japanese dishes, but I do know this flavor. I ordered the Steak. This came with stir fried vegetables with a good flavor of cabbage. I liked those. White rice completed my dish. My husband ordered the Spicy Seafood Udon. This proved to be more spicy than it appeared. This dish included vegetables, udon noodles, shrimp, hokkaido scallops, squid, green mussels, in a savory & spicy garlic butter sauce. We had food leftover, so we got some containers and packed them for home. We will come back here, and perhaps eat outside (sure, the view is of a parking lot), but the high tables and the torchieres give it a nice atmosphere - perhaps as the weather turns cooler, we will enjoy being outside.
