    The Salad

    Was very unsatisfied with the salad!! Actually feed it to my chickens. Food was pretty good but I was starving when I went there. Not sure if I'll be back.

    I don't really enjoy giving places of business only three , and had the food or the service met my specific expectations, I probably would have given more. However they didn't, so here is why. I told #SuperHubs that I was craving some good Japanese food, hibachi style. We have been to quite a few of them in Greensboro, so we decided to drive toward Burlington and see what we can see. On the way, I grabbed my iPhone and opened my trusty Yelp app. It led me to this little place, and I had already noticed that it had only received three stars, but the other Japanese restaurants that we frequent also received three stars, and I did not agree with those. So, I thought we would give it a try anyway. From the pictures posted, I could not really tell much about the restaurant itself. I was really hoping for a table style grill where I can watch them cook the food, because then I would know it was cooked fresh. However, that is not what we saw when we walked in. As soon as you walk inside the door, you place your order at the bar, and then find a seat in the main dining room. So, I guess you would call this Japanese express. Or maybe Japanese fast food? I have no idea, but I do know it was not what I thought. The only reason I'm saying this in this review is so that if anyone is wondering what kind of restaurant this is, it is NOT where you sit around a big table with strangers and have your food cooked in front of you. Now, about the food. I gave the grill style table, or lack there of, a pass hoping the food would meet my expectations. When the salad came out it was brown-ish lettuce with a few strings of carrot in it. The ginger dressing that I ordered looked like mashed up carrot baby food. And it tasted bitter. I ordered the steak and chicken combo so #SuperHubs and I could share. The steak was not tender but very chewy. The chicken was well seasoned and had a good grilled flavor to it, but several pieces were charred on the edges. It did come with broccoli and mushrooms that were sautéed tastily. And the rice and white sauce was really good. The place was neat and clean. I could tell it was well sanitized. The staff was masked and gloved up, as well as being very friendly. But they did not return to the table to ask about refills or about our experience. All in all, we probably would not try this place again.

    Soup was good but I am still uncertain what was floating all in it but it was good

    Everything I got today was better than what Yelp led me to believe this meal would be. Large portions , great white sauce and expected flavors made this for a positive dining experience. I stopped by on a Tuesday night while on the road for work. Sat in a quiet dining room and enjoyed my meal. I will post pics of what I ordered and you should check it out... not sure what has happened to others but I will be back.

    I finally tried it and so glad I did!…read more First and foremost, the place is clean which is extremely important to me. Items I tried: crunchy roll and steak noodles that includes veggies and also comes with a soup or salad. I choose salad with ginger dressing. Pros - clean establishment - sushi was absolutely delicious - my steak was cooked to perfection. They made it exactly how I asked for it - ginger dressing is absolutely delicious - large portions. Enough for at least 3 meals Cons - my friend and I were not greeted when we first came in. I noticed that most others said in their review that the staff greeted them and were very friendly. We were not greeted. In fact, I had to speak first. I pay attention to things like this. - white sauce is not good to me at all. It is not the usual white sauce flavor you get at other hibachi establishments. I am returning soon and will try a couple new things and update this review of necessary. UPDATE: I've gone back 2 more times. Excellent customer service, great sushi, the white sauce was a little bit better, but still not my thing...too thick...too sweet...too much mayo. Springs rolls are gd. Crab rangoon gd.

I would've probably left but we were starved and didn't have the brainpower to really try and brainstorm anything else. And it's ramen-how long could it really take. The waitress was prompt-I was afraid I would feel rushed but she seemed to have a hurried nature and it didn't feel directly related to it being close to closing. I ordered my ramen with no egg and spicy and it came with no spice and an egg. Disappointing to say the least because I've heard great things and expected better since in the short period of time we were there, so many people came in to pickup takeout orders. There was 2 pieces of thinly sliced pork in my ramen and it was mostly mushrooms. The broth was super flavorful I just wish I had more spice. Based off my experience, I wouldn't be interested in returning on my own. I'd visit if a group of friends wanted to go or for takeout to give them another try.

I don't know what happened before my party of 5 arrived but at the time, there was another small table and a larger one of about 6-8 people. We waited a good 10 minutes after sitting to be waited on, and in the middle of our order she walked away because the other table's food came up. The cook told her he wasn't done, so she came back to us. We asked for forks (which we'd seen on a tray on the counter) and we were told "you're gonna have to wait. I've got to wipe it, roll it, and everything so you're just going to have to be patient". We were like "ok". We just ordered so no biggie. Then she goes behind the counter and proceeds to unload on the counter employee about how she's done and about to walk out if one more person says something about forks and other stuff(I did not hear the rest of her montage because we got up and walked out). On our way out she was yelling to us "I don't care if they walk out. My name is ________" (didn't hear because I was out the door by that point). I've been eating in this restaurant regularly for over 20 years, - I've endured going and getting cold food, I've endured inattentive servers, etc. I think this is the final straw. I'll drive to another town to eat Japanese cuisine. We were well willing to be patient but this was completely unnecessary.
