Cheap and not very good. The food is a bit bland, needs a lot of shrimp sauce to bring it to life.

One for dining experience only. Not sufficient cooling system for any level of comfort. Sweating employees is a appetizing turn off.

We came here to celebrate a special family dinner, and unfortunately, the experience was incredibly…read moredisappointing. Everyone at our table received their food in a timely manner--except me. I ordered the hamachi kama and was told it would take about 20 minutes to bake, which I was completely fine with. However, after waiting... and waiting... and watching my entire family finish their meals, we were then told my order had been messed up because the restaurant got backed up and busy and would take another 10-15 minutes. At that point, nearly everyone was done eating, so I asked for my meal to be boxed to-go. We spoke with a manager, Chris, who apologized and told us the meal would be comped--which felt like an appropriate resolution given the situation. But after sitting there for almost TWO HOURS total, my husband and son went to follow up, only to be told that my order had been completely canceled. The reasoning? That they "weren't going to comp something and let you walk out with free food." That response was honestly shocking. I never asked for anything extra--just the meal I ordered, even if it had to be to-go at that point. Instead, I left without eating at all. The lack of communication, the excessive wait, and the way the situation was handled at the end completely ruined what was supposed to be a celebratory night. Really disappointing experience. We didn't even want to order the desserts we planned on ordering because at that point, they didn't deserve another dollar. The environment would've been enjoyable if we weren't focused on food missing and the lack of customer service.

The experience is always a pleasant one with both the chef and the servers. The chef makes everything fun and the servers always go above and beyond to help out. The skill or quality isn't what you'd get it some upper end hibachi joints but it doesn't detract from the experience here. The sushi, I think, is second to none and is prepared on order. Give it a try and you won't be disappointed.

We got 3 different types of sushi rolls including variations of rainbow and volcano and the tiger... nothing was good. It was all kind of mushy in texture which grossed us out. The chicken bento my husband got was literally inedible and he left it untouched. The beef udon broth had a really odd flavor than we are used to so I didn't care for it and the noodles felt undercooked. The edamame was great though and the miso was lacking in flavor but still edible. Service was good other than she didn't seem to notice how bad everything was for us.

My husband Richard and I were going to go to Panda Express for our 40th wedding anniversary. But…read morethey were too busy for our liking. So, we were still craving asian cuisine, and Richard suggested we go to Moto. When we walked in we were greeted by the host and led to our table. Our nice waitress took our drink orders and then we looked at the menu for an appetizer. We decided on the Firecracker Shrimp and the Pork Dumplings. The firecracker shrimp and pork dumplings were packed with flavor and had a pleasant kick of heat. Then we ordered our entrees. I ordered Yakiniku and Richard got the Emperor combo. Our food arrived and looked absolutely delicious. we started to dig in. About 20 minutes later Richard's stomach made a rumble. He promptly rose from his chair and made a beeline to the restroom. He was in the restroom for around for 20 minutes. When he came back he said he was ready to go and said he wasn't in the mood for dessert. So, we paid, left a nice tip for our outstanding service and went back home. Richard's stomach hurt for the rest of the night. We really liked the staff and service and Moto's but the food just didn't sit right with Richard's stomach.

Best buffet I've ever been to as far as Asian restaurants go…read more We didn't have reservations and got there around noon. Had about a 10 minute wait. Most of the food was delicious and they do a great job of keeping the trays stocked. Grace took good care of us and we were stuffed by the time we left.

The restaurant and staff were typical Chinese vibe. I'll be honest, coming from NY, my expectations weren't high. I didn't even take pictures at first because I assumed there wouldn't be a review (and I usually won't post a negative one). When I tell you SHOCKED isn't even a strong enough word... I'm not kidding. We didn't want leftovers, so we ordered a few things to share. They brought kimchi and pickled cucumbers to the table. I'm not even a kimchi person, but this one was delicious; and the sweet, tangy cucumbers were fantastic. Wonton soup is always my barometer for good Chinese food. The broth was flavorful with just a little kick. The wontons were plump with filling and had a super thin wrapper-absolutely delicious. We tried both the egg roll and the spring roll-both spot on. The duck sauce and Chinese mustard were excellent too. For our main, we ordered General Tso's chicken (mild spice) with white rice. First of all... the platter was HUGE. Aside from being slightly spicier than I personally prefer, it was AMAZING. And yes...WHITE MEAT CHICKEN! Big chunks of juicy, crunchy chicken, large slices of onion (which I love), pieces of pepper, and a delicious sauce that coated everything perfectly. Halfway through the meal I realized I HAD to take a picture because this review was happening. This wasn't "good for Tennessee." This was genuinely DELICIOUS Chinese food. Yong Asian House-BRAVO!
