    This place has a two page lunch menu Monday thru Friday. We shared two lunch entrees that were very tasty and plentiful. The service was as good. The General Tso Chicken was very good. It came with a choice of soup, I picked wonton which turned out to be the only thing 4 stars, not a lot of flavor. I picked a fried egg roll and steamed rice. My wife had and enjoyed the Qin combo Lo Mein...if you want beef with it it's an upcharge. She enjoyed some fried rice and a crab puff and some wonton soup. They have a lot of statues of Chinese warriors and a few horses and a grand piano. Nice decor.

    They sold about 1.5 ago and the old management is now at ginger cage off west gray. I have been coming back since they sold and everything was pretty much the same however I noticed the hot and our soup is different. Today should be a 1 or 2 star review but I'll give them a 4 star since the food was good. Back to the 1-2 star experience! I was totally shocked how trashed the restrooms were! Not a good sign! Take pride in the place line the old management did. Also they have flies and gnats I. The restaurant! Lastly they used to have these chocolate candies to grab on the way out. No more. Fix all This stuff and don't turn This place into a dump! I am being very generous giving you all 1 star! Today was the final straw. No ac with 100 temps in summer. The new management doesn't care about this place.

    For a quick delicious lunch, I definitely enjoyed this place. The food was so good and I was so hungry I forgot to take a picture. Service is quick and efficient here especially for lunch service! I got some hot and sour soup and some seafood stirfry which was delicious! Adding in some chili oil brought the food a nice spicy kick that I enjoyed with white rice. I will definitely come back here sometime for lunch or dinner again! There was a robot that delivered our food which was kind of cool! Price wise, super affordable!

    The staff was friendly in attending to us. The California roll was satisfactory, and the Happy Family is a good option if you'd like to have three different types of meat. However, the miso soup was a bit cold and could have used more flavor. When you arrive with a party of six or more, a 20% tip is automatically added to the bill.

    Nice Entrance

    Qin Dynasty is one of our favorite Asian restaurants. My family and I have been customers for over 15 years. Since Cocid we have only ordered our food to-go but the taste and quality remain regardless of dining in or taking out. Our selections we favor are shrimp lo mein, chicken with garlic sauce and chicken with eggplant . We have also tried the general tso's chicken but our main 3 are mentioned above. Many of the entrées can be ordered as a combo where you get a smaller entrée but get to select a soup and choice of either en eggroll or a crab puff. The chicken with eggplant is not offered as a combo. Both the egg drop soup and the wonton soup are excellent choices and the eggroll and crab puff are delicious so you can't go wrong. There is a nice atmosphere inside and weekend nights have had a pianist playing nice music. Stop on by!

    Our social group had a fabulous Lunar New Year Dinner at Qin Dynasty this past Saturday. Thank you Debbie (manager) and her staff (especially Kevin, our waiter) for the lovely room setup, flowers, delicious food and the outstanding service we received.

    Very very tasty !

    I recently visited the place and had a very pleasant experience. Quality of food and quality of service of all the staff. I recommend it 100 percent. It's a place for a nice dinner.

If you like buttery flavor (more fat) cut of meat, then this is for you. Other must-orders are king salmon and chopped scallop nigiris. We also had otoro, sea bream and butterfish sashimi. You also can't go wrong with their ramen selections. We tried ordering oxtail ramen (their special of the day) but it was out so we opted for Nagasaki (seafood) ramen again. Plenty of parking spaces, no valet. Definitely perfect for fancy date nights, business meetings, family dinners and special occasions.

From the specials menu, we started with the spicy garlic coconut milk mussels made with fresh Prince Edward Island/British Columbia mussels in a rich spicy garlic coconut cream sauce, topped with green onions and served with toasted ciabatta bread. The broth was incredible and packed with flavor. As an appetizer, we ordered the Texas Wagyu Hot Stone Bowl -- the only rice item on the menu at the time -- made with rice, egg, kimchi sauce, tawan mushrooms, sesame, and green onion. It was prepared tableside for us, which made the experience even more fun and interactive. We also tried the Spicy Soy Ramen with braised ground pork, chili oil, soy milk broth, soft boiled egg, wakame, green onion, and micro cilantro. The flavors were rich, comforting, and had the perfect amount of spice. The Nagasaki Champon Ramen was another standout with clams, shrimp, cabbage, pork, onion, ginger, and micro cilantro in a flavorful broth that tasted fresh and authentic. The restrooms were very Japanese-inspired and beautifully maintained, adding to the atmosphere of the restaurant. Gabby was an amazing waitress -- attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire dining experience even better. Then there was dessert: Green Tea soufflé and chocolate milk bread pudding! I hope i get a picture of it!!! Service is GREAT! Drinks are filled. Needs are met- and exceeded!!!0 Parking is self parking, but it was worth it. We will definitely be back again to try many more items on the menu! Come early if you want to hear your partner it gets LOUD!

All of their nigiri and hand rolls can be ordered a la carte or if you're feeling a bit in decisive, they have several hand roll sets that come with 3-5 preselected options. On nigiri night, announced a few days in advance on their socials, almost all of their nigiri is $5. Chutoro, otoro, hamachi, all melt in your mouth quality, all included in the special. That's a yes from me. As I mentioned, my friends and I love to do this deal every month and every time the staff have all been super friendly and make you feel more than welcome, providing recommendations and stopping by frequently to take more orders.

Drinks, and most of the food options can be ordered at either the restaurant or the bar which caters to whatever vibe suits you best - dark, intimate cocktail bar or more traditional sushi restaurant where you can watch each roll being prepared fresh to order. Overall, an excellent spot! Definitely check them out!

The salmon tasted a little too fishy, and the hamachi hand roll fell short since I could barely taste the hamachi. However, the kanpachi was the standout of the night!

They have a huge variety of solid options from yakitori to ramen to sushi which are all solid options. Also their alcohol is very reasonably priced. - lychee margarita: for the price a great drink - Yellowtail sashimi - enjoyable and fresh tasting - Tsukiman dipping ramen: the broth is more watery and less flavorful. Thought it was fine but not my favorite - Black truffle ramen: not the most flavorful broth but solid - Spicy curry: a nice mix that slowly builds up with the kick - Favorite yakitori pieces were the ribeye (wasabi isn't too spicy and adds a unique flavor), the salted chicken wings were not that impressive - Yellowtail collar was solid. It's not a huge collar but cooked well; the sauce it came with was the most flavorful yellowtail sauce ive had and enjoyed that Staff is friendly, the food service is quick, and the variety of food with high quality was impressive.

Kira stands out to me because I can find special handrolls on their menu that I can't typically find at other handroll bars. I tried a variety of handrolls and was left impressed with the flavor combinations and different flavors on the menu. It an intimate space that seats only so many at the bar, but the interior is curated so nicely and makes the space super comforting. The vinyl player adds a nice touch and I loved the dim lit space. I recommend trying the lobster and peking duck hand roll since those are rolls you can't typically find elsewhere! The peking tastes exactly like the dish ordered at a chinese restaurant, but I lowkey prefer it on a bun- worth a try tho! The lobster was also so good, but at times the mustard was a tad too much. I really liked the freshness of the fish and I can tell that the chefs care a lot about their craft. Overall I'd give it a 7.5/10 for the taste, quality, and price point. Definitely worth to come check out!

Zach the chef was also very knowledgeable as well and presented each dish beautifully. Started off with the "Alive" cocktail which was a tequila based drink. Pretty strong and refreshing citrus taste! Ordered the the 4 Temaki set which included Hotate, Salmon, Negitoro and Crab. My favorite was deff the crab handroll, had a yummy buttery taste. Extra handrolls we got the Steak & Eggs handrolll (taste just how it sounds and the steak was nice/tender) and an extra Crab Handroll. Also, got 2 diff Donburi's which is the Negitoro Donburi and Bluefin Tuna Donburi (SOOOO worth it, it had Akamai/Chutoro/Otoro and all melted in your mouth and was fresh and paired great with the sauce it came with). The rice overall, was seasoned and cooked great as well. To add on the side, we got their chilli crunch which was a nice topper for our hand rolls. To end the night, we got the Raspberry Kakigori (super soft ice and refreshing). Pretty close to Japan! Seating was a very chill vibe with vinyl players and good music.

The salmon trio was also great, coming with king salmon, regular salmon, and smoked salmon. To be honest, I could tell there was a difference between the king and regular salmon, but I couldn't really tell which one was which.
