Just discovered this place, but it's now my husband's favorite in Starkville. Likes the taste & variety (especially the pink sauce) of the menu. I'm picky & fell in love with the fried rice with chicken. Nice $ too! Easy to get to. read more

I got off work and proceeded to go to OEC for dinner tonight the lights were still on and they were due to still be open for business until 10 the young lady at the front desk seen me pull into the parking space in front of the building and immediately proceeded to turn the lights off at 9:42 pm, still a whole other 18 minutes before closing. She did not allow me to make into the building to even let me know about the kitchen shutting down or anything. I did not like that at all and it was terrible customer service to do such a thing. read more

They have great food! The take-out plates have generous portions. I appreciate getting what I pay for.

The best hangover food. Amazing portion sizes. You can basically make two meals out of one of the hibachi trays. Super cheap (esp the sushi) and the quick service. read more

I'm in love with this place. I get the sushi and sometimes Miso soup every time I go. I go at least 2-3 times a week. Definitely check this place out if you have never been read more

12/10- 6 stars if I could. I've eaten here 6 times in the past two weeks. The sushi always tastes fresh & it's at a reasonable price. I ate it last night, and I'll probably eat it again tonight. read more

I had sushi and fried dumplings. It's was cool, not super impressive ,but edible & convenient.

Always on time and fresh. A lot of food for a food price. I eat here regularly for lunch.

I've eaten here since 2013. I lobe this place so much. They are prompt and always have a consistent quality of food. You know what you're getting every single time. They have catered so well to customers' needs during the pandemic as well- just call ahead! read more

Not as good as the one in Granada not as friendly either. Very disappointing. Could take some hospitality lessons from Granada location.

I eat here occasionally because it is close to work and I love Japanese food. The food is decent but, seriously, only decent. Then, they want to charge you for extra Teriyaki and Pink Sauce. Come on!? I also once saw a group of ladies leave because they wouldn't give them water cups and wanted them to buy bottles of water. They have almost always been a little cold/rude. Maybe it is a cultural difference but I have never felt that way at many of the other Japanese places in the towns I've lived. If they would just revamp their customer service it would be a better experience. read more

We have one of these near my home town down in south MS, I ordered the chicken fried rice with broccoli and teriyaki sauce from here tonight! It's even better than what we have back home. The chicken, rice, and broccoli were all cooked very well, the combination with the teriyaki was amazing, very tasty! And cheap too! The service was pretty quick, easy, and nice as well! read more

The food's fine, but I wish their menu was broader -- mostly fried rice, hibachi dishes, and sushi. (How does any Japanese place not have any noodle dishes?) I ordered two specialty sushi rolls, and the caterpillar was pretty good, but I wouldn't order the volcano again. It was loaded down with so much extra topping that you almost couldn't really taste the sushi. For a place that's styled mostly as a take-out place, I thought the prices were a little steep -- the two sushi rolls set me back about $20. At that amount, you might as well go to Umi, which has better sushi for around the same price. read more

It's no Umi's but it will suffice in a pinch. The prices are good and you get a lot of food for what you pay. However, you have to pay more for extra sauces in to-go orders. Also, the fried rice tastes more like sticky rice and is longer grained than most. The meats are usually well prepared and cut into small cubes before being placed on top of a heaping bed of rice. The yum yum sauce is much more vinegary than other places. Also, the dish left a distinct garlicky aftertaste, which I wasn't very fond of. Overall though, quick and relatively cheap. read more

Good cheap Japanese food. Their gyoza have a good flavor and the sauce with them was good. Their lo main is very good. Their steak is always tender, but they aren't too generous with the portions. I'm not one of those weirdos that covers my fried rice with that sweet mayonnaise sauce, but if you're into that they've got it. Their sushi isn't off the charts but ain't bad for the price. read more

The vegetable fried rice (yakimesi) is my go to. You get an styrofoam to go box packed full for just $7. The pink sauce is so good and if you eat in you get unlimited sauce. If you get it to-go you get 2 free containers of sauce and extra cost 25¢ read more

I got take out and the food was really good and not very expensive at all! 10/10 would recommend!

The food is actually pretty good, but the little kids that live in the back booth are extremely annoying. I really wish their parents would take the $10 I just gave them and get a babysitter. Their kids watch their annoying cartoons as loud as they can. Their parents are nowhere to be found. read more

Great prices for the amount of food you receive! Good rice and hibachi have never had their sushi. I also like their pink sauce delicious. One problem I have is the servers are extremely rude. read more

Once you go once, you'll find yourself there all the time. So addicting! I recommend chicken fried rice. Just $7.09 for a large plate filled up. It's usually enough for 3 meals for me! read more

Very decent place. The hibachi shrimp and steak meal will set you back about ten bucks, and apparently the drinks aren't included. However, you get the shrimp and steak, a heap of fried rice, sweet carrots, and a small salad. You also get two small cups of pink sauce and some soy sauce. I felt like all of that was substantial for what I paid, and keep going back. As far as the service is concerned, I'd just like to say that this is a takeout place. Don't go in there expecting hand-and-foot service. I've actually seen some college kids go in there and argue with these people because they thought their food was taking too long, but I've never waited more than 10 minutes for anything. read more

Best international cuisine in Starkville, and always fresh! The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because they let their kids run wild in the restaurant, and because they take a while to cook it (like 20 minutes for one person). It's definitely not a special occasion, upscale, business meeting kind of place. However, the food is amazing. I have no complaints in that department. read more

This place a lot for what u pay for. Not quite expensive, fair price and the whole dish is full of fried rice and about 2/3 of whatever meat u order. Food is good and that yum sauce is good too. Been here 2 times. read more

Great place for a quick bite to eat, relatively inexpensive for what you're getting, and the sushi isn't bad at all. It's a little bit divey but it's some great food. read more

Amazing for the price! Love their chicken fried rice, not a big sushi eater, but all of my friends say it taste great.

The hibachi chicken is good, and you get a lot of it for the price (~$6), but it is mostly rice and a little pile of chicken. The terriaki sauce on the chicken is tasty, and the pink sauce is good too. The rice isn't to oily, which I appreciate. The side of steamed sweet carrot slices is different, but nice. the salad was ok just simple iceberg and a couple slices of other veggies, but the ginger dressing was down right tasty. Lastly, I tried a tuna roll. It was fine, nothing mindblowing though. If anything, my only notable thought was that the temperature of the roll (raw) was a little closer to room temp than I would like to see. read more

I cannot stress how great this place is for Japanese take out. The prices are cheap and you get alot for what you pay plus it's already in a to go container. I personally recommend the chicken and fried rice. The other reviews are accurate on the price for the food but the only difference is that you don't have to buy from the hibachi dinner menu if you don't want to. They also have a sushi menu and have added new items to the lunch/dinner menu. I have to eat here if I'm ever in Starkville, it's just that good. read more

I must second what some of the reviewers below have said. The menu is extremely limited beyond various meats available with rice platters (Hibachi). The very few side items come quite small and are sometimes unappetizing. Tiny little iceberg lettuce salads and/or cooked carrots? Meh. The dinners themselves come in little styrofoam boxes with the meat (I usually get chicken) caked in too much soy/terayaki/whatever sauce in one divider area, and with the rice heaped in the big divider area. The word "okay," rather than "delicious," is the word that comes to mind while eating these. This place certainly is no "best-kept secret" or anything. What we have here is a suitable cheap option for an occasional lunch or dinner when you need a quick meal, when you don't feel like Chick-fil-A or other fast food places, and/or when you absolutely can't stand the thought of anything at home and yet don't want to wait a long time for your food at a bigger restaurant. Your dollar goes a long way here in volume, but less far in taste and options. Limited seating capacity. C+ read more
