    Specialty Drink Menu

    Located at a corner of the town square in Scottsville, the restaurant has been open for around 6 weeks. The inside is galley- style with three tables near the entrance and cash register area with approximately five or six booths that seat four. There's also a small two person table toward to back. Decor is nice, fresh and with an Asian theme. The booths and almost all of the tables were full when we arrived at 6:30 pm on a Wednesday. We sat at the front larger table at the windows and it was a bit cool and breezy with all of the people going in and out but the overall temperature inside was comfortable. It appears they are doing a good amount of take out as well as dine in service. The music playing was a nice sampler track of acoustic guitar, just wish the entire songs were allowed to play instead of 30-45 seconds of each one. Pick up a large and colorful menu at the kiosk just inside the door as you walk in or get one at the register. Be aware there are two menus, the main one with most of the items offered and then a second one for specialty drinks. You can take your menus to a table/booth to decide what you want to order just like we did since this was our first visit, and then you'll need to go back to the register to order and pay. They give a "cash discount" so keep in mind you'll be paying a 4% higher price for using a credit card. Not sure about debit cards so ask before paying. The service was quick, friendly and efficient. Our drinks were brought out right away, a soda (Pepsi products), water with lemon (no charge) and a Thai Milk Tea with Crystal Boba. The Thai Milk Tea was well balanced being not too sweet, too watery or too strong. The boba were fresh and just the right texture. We both ordered the Hibachi Chicken which comes with a clear chicken broth soup that has a bit of shredded chicken and chopped green onion in it, a larger sized side of fried rice, hibachi grilled mixed vegetables (cabbage, broccoli, carrot, zucchini, onion), and the hibachi chicken that is lightly seasoned and sauced. A small dish of the Yum Yum & ginger sauce which was mild added a bit of flavor and was served on the side. Portion size was ample and we were both moderately hungry when we arrived and left quite full. Didn't use the restrooms but if the cleanliness and overall appeal of the restaurant are an indicator they are likely in good shape. Parking was readily available immediately outside on the square, more available on side streets as well.

    Chicken hibachi

    This restaurant sits in a great location and host a beautiful display of typical Japanese decor. The staff are friendly and the food is brought to the table relatively quickly. I'm not sure if it's typical, no staff acknowledged it, but the AC clearly struggles or was out? It was cooler when we walked outside leaving. The California rolls were great. Rice cooked perfectly with fresh ingredients. The hibachi was fine. The chicken tasted a little off and cabbage as well (very bitter and I love cabbage). The takoyaki was a nightmare. It was the whole reason I came here. It looked delicious but the first bite made it obvious it was undercooked. The inside was completely raw. This restaurant features an "order here" counter where you pay as you order, and as such it felt like more trouble to say anything about the food after we had already received it.

    Place an order online and got to the restaurant to pick up my $40 worth of food and they were…read moreclosed!! Why would they have online ordering open if their restaurant is already closed before their hours say that they're closed?! It says they close at 9:30 PM, I ordered my food at 8:30. I'm beyond livid. Next day update: I called them and let them know what happened. They were super nice and apologetic. They made my food I came and picked it up and she gave me a free drink. She was really nice. The food on the other hand is just mildly OK at best. My expectations were already very low because it's Tennessee and it's Gallatin so I wasn't expecting anything different but I definitely would never come back here. Service was great though they're super nice and maybe if I ate this there would've been different. I don't wanna bash this place because everybody's taste buds are different. And I'm also from California. I grew up eating sushi so I have a higher standard of what I declare as good sushi. I did get I think two cooked rolls, I got lovely couple in the best friend role and a vegetable role in the miso soup. Miso soup is OK I've had way worse, but I've also had better, but it's definitely my favorite out of the four items I got. The rolls wouldn't be too bad if they weren't so dry. They just feel so dry and extremely cooked through and the shrimp has a bit of a fishy after taste. They were really nice though.

    I'm all for eating sushi anytime I can even in the middle of nowhere in a land locked state. You…read moreabsolutely can't have high expectations for a spot like this so I really didn't. Let's just say, the expectations I did have... They were met. I expected the fish to not be insanely fresh and I was right. The fish really tasted like nothing. The only thing that I could taste were my salmon skin Handrolls because they were smoked (I hate that smoke flavor). I made do with the smoke flavor though and devoured them because I was hungry. The portion size on the salmon skin hand rolls were pretty generous though so I will give them that!! My husband said his sushi tasted like something he might get from a gas station, but again, kinda to be expected considering where we were. The people working at this spot ALL VERY NICE and I'm sure there are some things (like the hibachi) that are great, we just didn't order those things.

    I really wanted to like this place, but honestly, I left feeling a little disappointed…read more I am not sure but, I believe this restaurant has been around since around 2006, and I really hope the owner will consider making some improvements. There are several things that stood out during our visit. First, cleanliness was a concern. When I went to the men's restroom, there was a significant amount of urine on the floor around the urinal. Unfortunately, it made me question how much attention is being paid to cleanliness in general. There were also quite a few flies flying around while we were eating, which definitely affected our dining experience. Our server seemed fairly young, so I don't want to blame her personally. However, there were several basic things we had to ask for. When our sushi roll was brought out, we had to ask for the small dishes normally used for soy sauce and wasabi. We also had to ask for a spoon for the bibimbap, and the spoon that was brought was more like a small soup spoon. We also had to wait and wonder when our water would be refilled rather than having it checked on regularly. The bulgogi was another disappointment. As you can see in my photo, there were a lot more vegetables than meat, and the pieces of beef were quite small. When people order bulgogi, I think they are generally expecting a reasonable amount of meat. I believe this could definitely be improved. Also, at most Korean restaurants, steamed rice is included with bulgogi, but here we had to order it separately. Thankfully, there was no extra charge for the steamed rice. I consider these points areas for improvement, rather than reasons to give the restaurant a low rating. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like the owner pays much attention to the reviews on Google or Yelp, which is a shame. I really hope they will take the time to look at some of the lower-rated reviews and see what customers are saying. There may be some valuable feedback there. So why am I still giving 5 stars? The owner was very friendly, and I really appreciated that. Also, the servers at the Hibachi table next to us did an amazing birthday celebration performance. They were singing and playing along with such great energy that it almost felt like watching a marching band. That was definitely one of the highlights of our visit! Overall, I hope the owner takes this review in the spirit in which it is intended. There is a lot of potential here, but cleanliness, service details, and food portions could definitely be improved. For Korean visitors who are specifically looking for good Korean food, I personally would not recommend ordering the Korean dishes here.

    Underrated gem. Was pleasantly surprised at the food being delicious. The dinner entrees were…read moreserved with the classic clear soup and a ginger dressing salad so it's a very big portion of food. The lettuce was kind of wilted and starting to brown. As a result, it feels like the lettuce was drowning in dressing to try to cover up the older lettuce pieces. I didn't enjoy the salad because of this, but everything else was really good.

My only regret is I don't have a pocket full of extra money so I can eat here a lot more. The servers are always fabulous.

I'm annoyed. Just play a variety of music, like from an XM station. Anyway. That is my only complaint with my favorite place.

I very much liked it. We ordered the fried pork wontons to share, but they were disgusting. Only the bottom was browned, the other two sides looked and had the consistency of steamed. The worst part was the meat inside tasted just like cheap breakfast sausage with a small amount of green onion. They were so bad that I told our server, Kristin, how bad they taste, what they taste like, and told her I couldn't eat them. She didn't offer an apology, or offer to take them off the check. She just said, "They are pork." But the correct thing to do in that situation is to remove it from the check. It wasn't eaten, minus the one I bit into and thought the meat tasted funky, so hubs ate a bite and had to spit it out because the meat tasted like it was old breakfast sausage. Kristin was very flippant, and didn't care a bit. We won't be back.
