    Steamed Pot Stickers

    We went for early dinner on a Sunday evening it was pretty quiet. Some of the food was pretty good, and maybe other items we just didn't make the right choice for our preference. Our server was very friendly, not much of an ambiance or atmosphere to comment on. Maybe we will come back and try other items, or go to another place similar we like nearby. Lo mein was delicious.

    Sesame Chicken

    I needed to switch my Chinese food place. This is an actual restaurant (with takeout) so prices are going to be higher but so should quality. That's not always the case but usually. When picking up my food, I mentioned to the guy at the front that the takeout place down the street kept getting my order wrong and no longer answers the phone every time. Instead of bashing a competitor, he said, "Everyone is short-staffed so it's not easy." This was a big plus. It showed strong character. I want to give someone like that my business. But then... My $4-and-change Wonton Soup only had two wontons. This is a really bad deal in the Wonton Soup market. Especially for someone who only takes two sips of the broth. Even so, if we're talking about wonton value, it's the worst I have seen. The wontons were pretty good but I won't order them again if only two wontons. But then... I tried the Lo Mein. The box was half open at the top and wouldn't close back easily after I ate half the Lo Mein. I'm not an origami guy but we can look past that because the Lo Mein was pretty strong. But then... I realized they forgot the white rice for the Sesame Chicken and had to go back (not far). You shouldn't forget white rice. But then... I ate the Sesame Chicken with the white rice and let me tell you something ... It was a BANGER! It was so good that it overshadowed all the other small mistakes. And as crazy as it sounds, it made the Lo Mein taste even better. Because then I said to myself, "Wait a second! I'm eating really good high-quality Chinese Food!" And then... I opened the fortune cookie. I had zero expectations for what that fortune might say. I will not reveal what it said and it shall remain a mystery but the timing was kind of insane--and almost word for word. So, if you want high-quality Chinese food and your fortune told, go to Sabi.

    You must set in Ms. Lola's section!! She is such an amazing fun person! Our food was delicious but her service made everything a million times better! Y'all have a real jem!! Nice, clean and relaxing environment.

    a variety of sushi

    [ A M B I A N C E ] The ambiance isn't anything spectacular. The vibe is giving old Applebee's "modernized" with a few retro light fixtures and bright green bucket seats. They offer seating outside, at the bar, sushi bar, or an oddly placed room in the back. [ F O O D ] SUSHI - I have to admit, I've got high standards for sushi - and Sabi did not disappoint on this front. I dined here about 4 times this past week and tried most of their Nigiri options and some california rolls and spicy tuna rolls (Not a fan of rolls in general so I didn't order much of those). All were good. The fish tasted fresh and the rice to fish ratio was on point. Their Unagi was one of my favorites I've had in a while. RAMEN - This was a weird one for me, I ordered the miso ramen with pork and it did not have any flavor at all. The broth was bland and had zero seasoning. I ended up asking for chili oil to get some flavor in there. NOODLES & CALAMARI - This could have been because this is a North Carolina asian restaurant, but there was ZERO flavor in anything I got. No salt, no heat, no acid, no fat. It was pretty disappointing. [ S E R V I C E ] The service is what saved this place from a 2 star rating. RENE was great! She is the type of server you want - Fast and Efficient. She had perfect timing when it came to checking up on me and she was quick, but still friendly and it didn't seemed rush. [ T H E V E R D I C T ] This place was great if you like traditional sushi and American sushi (rolls), but the rest of the menu was definitely lacking flavor and seasoning. If you want a place with a trendy vibe, this definitely wouldn't be it. If you favor service over trendy vibes this would hit the mark.

    Chicken and Broccoli Dinner
    Monica M.

    It was just okay. We got in around 9pm and it seemed like nobody really wanted to take our group of 6. We got a bunch of drinks and some apps and they were kind of bland. The chicken and broccoli that I got was not the best and had lots of pieces of chewy rubbery chicken. Not good quality meat. I even ended up getting sick after and had a really upset stomach. The gyoza were alright as an appetizer. Another person in my party wasn't a huge fan of their ramen. Overall the restaurant didn't really seem well kept and needed some love. We just felt like we were trying to be rushed out, meanwhile they closed at 10pm and we got there a little before 9pm. The restaurant bathrooms had a funky smell by them, kind of like sewage water. I don't think we will ever return here. Would not recommend.

    Average in every way. Sushi barely middle of the road, fish tough and a bit of odor. Zero ambiance. BUT it's not too expensive.

The restaurant itself is beautiful, with a great atmosphere and a welcoming vibe that makes it an enjoyable place to spend an evening. The location is convenient, and the space feels fresh, modern, and inviting. The service was also a highlight of the experience. Our server was friendly, attentive, and helped make the meal enjoyable from start to finish. The restaurant is known for its casual yet upscale ambiance, which definitely came through during our visit.  Where the experience fell a bit short for me was the food. Everything was prepared well and perfectly edible, but nothing really stood out or felt especially memorable. It wasn't bad by any means--just not quite at the same level as the atmosphere and service. I went for the lobster tail ravioli, and it was just a bit too chewy for my taste. I was hoping for a dish that would make me eager to come back, but that didn't happen on this visit. I could, however, come back. I would give it a second chance and would like to try drinks from the bar.  Overall, Torrence and Knox is a great spot for the ambiance, service, and overall dining experience. If you're looking for a comfortable place to meet friends, enjoy drinks, or have a relaxed night out, it's definitely worth a visit. I'd return for the atmosphere alone and would be interested to try more of the menu in the future.

Some people that frequent the spot, let their dogs become aggressive and don't curb or police them. Others , are blindly yapping away when their animal is pissing and crapping in the play area and fail to clean it up like you are supposed to like us responsible owners do. Most people are friendly but, it is mainly for more than one person. They have TV's but, there is so much activity where they are located that it is hard to focus. If you are alone it can be boring except for the fact your dog is enjoying it (which I guess is the point!) The bar used to be hit or miss but has improved. While a I know this isn't a place you should be going to get tipsy even , I mean I get it , it's a dog park but when I have ordered a shot or two of whiskey with my beer , I was really ripped off more than a couple times by two specific people. The bar manager is great and I think she corrected the light pours, which is great because the alcohol there isn't cheap. I'm not ragging on the bartenders though - all of them are nice and polite. I have only limited experience with the Doggy Daycare and while I don't know what actually goes on back 'there' my dog seemed to be happy when picked up. I will say one of the young ladies who normally checks me in young, with mid-length blonde hair was not very friendly. It was like 8AM and it's Doggy Day Care and isn't cheap , probably be a bit friendlier to the customers. Other than that , it's a decent place to enjoy an afternoon with a beer, or not, while your pup plays and socializes with other dogs. Just wish some owners would be more attentive of their dogs behavior - most are! Recommend checking this place out.

No communication with your dog being there with them while you are traveling. If you are looking for a place to board your dog go somewhere else!
