We ordered the Salmonia, the Karai, and Salmon Tataki, as well as edamame. The sushi came out quickly. It was well prepared and a good size, particularly for the price. It was very affordable. The Salmonia was slightly sweet and it brought out the flavor of the Salmon. The Karai was spicy crab and tuna with jalapeños. It had a lite spice and was a great contrast to the salmon. The Tataki had a lovely lemon ponzu with a small salad. It was bright and fresh. Overall the meal was lovely, everything was clean, and it was very affordable. Stopin when you are visiting Branson.

I ordered the Tonkatsu fried pork cutlet thinking it was like traditional ramen with a meat in broth with noodles. This was not that . When it came, it was a tray with steamed rice, miso soup and a beautifully presented Japanese version of a German schnitzel!! I was surprised and after the first bite of the tender, crispy pork, I was sold. It was delicious. It's a nice little restaurant with outstanding service and pleasant atmosphere. This continues to be a repeater for me.

The lighting is dim and intimate and there was music playing at just the right volume. The restaurant was full however I received kind, prompt, and attentive service. I was dining alone, so I decided to sit at the bar which had plenty of available stools. The bartender was friendly and was able to answer my questions about the menu selections. Now for the food.... It was outstanding! I had the Chashu Bun as an appetizer and the Cheeky Ramen as my main. They were both off the chart tasty. Since I was sitting at the bar which is adjacent to the sushi chef station and right outside the kitchen, I saw many delicious looking plates go out. If I lived in Springfield, MO, I would be a regular. Visit this restaurant. You won't regret it!

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

I see staff talking and hardly any tables occupied. I've been going here for years and I used to love this place but now it's just not worth the wait and money. That's my only problem with this place 3 tables taken in the whole place and I get my water after waiting 30 minutes after being seated, and I'm the last to be helped after bigger parties who arrived after me. When I come with 2 other people the waiters are on top of it with service but if it's me alone I hardly even see a waiter. They're chasing tippssss imo. This is just a personal opinion that doesn't contribute to my stars because I know some people find it really cool but the robot is creepy and what if someone needs to ask something when the drinks come? Can't ask a robot and then they have to wait 20+ minutes for a waiter to come by.

I ordered the steak and scallops, and my husband ordered the steak and calamari. The first thing that impressed us was the teppan chef's performance, it was so fun and entertaining to watch. Then we were surprised by how generous the portions were, and on top of that, everything tasted absolutely delicious. When we arrived, the restaurant was already packed and there were quite a few people waiting, but after dining there, we completely understood why. The food, atmosphere, and overall experience were all worth it. I don't remember our server's name, but the service was excellent as well.

Still my favorite and still the best Sushi restaurant in town!…read moreI'm here every week and the staff already know my favorite's: Rainbow Roll and Pòke Roll. The Sashimi is always fresh and I've never had a bad bite of fish--unlike other restaurants in town--and the rolls are always consistent from one visit to the next--again, unlike most other restaurants. The ambience and decor are not up to date and needs some work but in this case the best places are the hidden gems that place the focus on the food rather than just having a pretty looking decor. In my most honest and humble opinion, this place is the best in the Springfield MO area. Hands down.

The food was a bit of a wait. So we hurriedly put all our orders in. There were fried rice, bento box, and yaki sobas. It was about 20min for appetizer and after that it was another 25min for food. They told us of short staff, I get it but there were only 3 tables. We was the only one in there first, then it got more people coming.

The fried rice was tasty. Had the chicken and steak. Both were good. The teriyaki sauce was good and the condiments were refilled. Great dinner. This location can accommodate large parties.

First time visiting this restaurant and I could have sworn it opened today with all the problems…read more We had to wait a half hour past our reservation to be seated at a hibachi table with 11 people meant in a side for 8, even though we booked a sushi table. We waited another 10 minutes to be seated at a table with two chairs on one side with our backs being the wall that every server walked by, being bumped multiple times. On the way out of the kitchen, a server dropped a piece of one of the sushi rolls on the floor. They stopped, watched it fall and stop, then kept moving. It was passed sitting on the floor no less than 54 (not an exaggeration, it became a joke the higher we got) times when we stopped counting.It may still in fact be on the floor. We waited another 20 minutes to have a server come by and finally take our drink order. Another 15 to take our food order. While we waited and waited and waited we looked around the dining room and were shocked at how run down this place looked. Dirty walls, holes all over the place, and chipped paint that showed no one truly cared, just like we think the staff acted. The only thing that kept this at a 1 star and not a throw my hands up and quit was the sushi. It was some of the best we have had in Springfield. If I could simply order it to go and eat it in my car, this would be a five star restaurant. Definitely will not be coming back here if we have to dine in.
