I'm literally shocked at the reviews. We tried this place last night because the reviews said the…read moredumplings were the best in Norwood. The reviews lied. We spent $118 and the food was awful. The steak stir fry was barely cooked. The veggies were raw. The chicken teriyaki tasted like it had been microwaved. The chicken "finger basket" was inedible. It was a chicken cutlet deep fried in old oil that they then cut into dried up sticks. Gross. My husband loves vegetable tempura and it tasted like each veggie was caked in pancake batter. I would love to review the scallion pancakes, but they were not in the to-go bag. Yes my husband asked, "is everything in here" but he should have checked when he picked up our food. Never again. Waste of money!!!

The definition of harumaki is a thin wrapper with ground pork, veggies and glass noddles. I got a spring roll that was somehow mushy inside and there was no meat or glass noddles. The peeking raviolis tasted okay but weren't hot and neither were the crab rangoons. The dragon roll and Hawaii roll had no flavor in my opinion. The Thai tea was good. It took me a long time to order on the phone. They delivered in a reasonable amount of time.

There was plenty of parking, and upon walking in the restaurant looked very clean. Since it was close to closing and I had called ahead, we were seated right away at a hibachi table with just the two of us. There was an extremely loud birthday party seated next to us, but that's not the restaurant's fault. While ordering, I wanted to get appetizers and sushi before our hibachi meal, but I felt a little rushed by our server. On a previous visit I remembered there being a Tuesday appetizer special (I thought it was half off), but when I asked, I was told they had never offered that promotion. Food: * Rock & Roll Roll - 8/10: Fresh and tasty, although the crab had a slightly stronger smell than I'd prefer. * Shrimp Tempura Roll - 9/10: Very good, but I asked for extra eel sauce and was given barely a tablespoon. * Steak & Shrimp Hibachi - 5/10: The flavor was excellent and everything was cooked exactly as requested, but the portions were surprisingly small for the price. * Chicken & Steak Hibachi - 5/10: Again, the flavor was great, but the portions were disappointing. We ordered extra chicken, which ended up being a good decision because the regular portion was very small. Each plate had less than a cup of rice, and although I requested extra mushrooms instead of zucchini and carrots, that substitution wasn't made. * Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings - 10/10: Easily one of the best items we ordered. Perfectly crispy with great seasoning and just the right amount of spice. * Scallion Pancakes - 9/10: Crispy and flavorful, but they could have used more scallions and a larger portion of dipping sauce. Drinks: I ordered a lemon drop martini made with tequila, but it tasted like it was made with vodka. I asked if it could be replaced, but that request was declined. They brought me pineapple juice to try to make it more drinkable, but it didn't help, and the drink still remained on the bill. That was definitely a 0/10 experience. Our hibachi chef was fantastic. He was engaging, acknowledged my fiancé's birthday, and honestly made up for the lackluster service we received from our waiter. One thing diners should be aware of is that an 18% service charge is automatically added to the bill, but it isn't verbally mentioned. It's listed as a "service charge" on the receipt, so it's easy to overlook if you're not paying attention. I asked about it to confirm, then tipped our hibachi chef separately because he deserved it. The receipt also includes wording encouraging additional gratuity, which could easily lead guests to tip twice if they don't notice the automatic charge. Overall, the food quality and flavors were still good, and the hibachi chef made the experience enjoyable. However, the rushed service, disappointing portion sizes, drink issue, and lack of transparency about the automatic service charge kept this visit from living up to our previous experiences.

However, when I received the bill, I was charged a $20 service fee, and then I was given three mandatory tip options on top of that. As someone who works in the restaurant industry, I understand how service charges work, but I personally feel that a $20 service fee is excessive, especially when customers are still expected to tip afterward. The food prices should cover the cost of service, with the tip being for the server's service. I felt the additional $20 charge was unreasonable and should have been clearly explained before ordering. Unfortunately, because of this experience, I will not be coming back. I would recommend checking the service fees carefully before dining here.

We had two of the meat combos, and it came with the vegetables which was quite nice! The quality of the meat and vegetables were just alright. The service was quick and they were very nice. The only thing that makes it difficult to rate this higher is the prices. The price is pretty steep for hot pot meat, as well as needing to pay for the soup bases on top of it. Unfortunately, this place is just average for us, so it won't be replacing any favorites of ours.

Hey why not give it another go AND Yes it's a pretty dramatic upgrade to a 5 star but Pho 29 hit the mark with a great beef pho and fresh summer rolls last night. The price was $15 for the soup and $6 for the 2 rolls. We both got the same things. I could only get halfway on the soup it was so filling, The beef was tender, top quality with no fat and plentiful. The rice noodles were also plentiful and for 6 bucks the rolls were a terrific value with a nice sized cup of peanut sauce. The owner who cooks was by himself and we were the only customer at the time I arrived for the take-out which was ready. 43 bucks total and heavy as heck. He is very friendly and we joked about how hot summer kitchens are and that we both can't wait till fall. Happy to say Pho 29 is now in my rotation going forward.

The space itself is decorated well with cute murals and figures. There are a few tables and chairs for people to hang out. MENU: Apart from mochi donuts, they have a wide selection of bobas. The mochi donuts are just okay. They also sell snacks and misc. items too. DRINKS: I opted for the matcha milk tea with boba and my partner ordered the strawberry milk tea. The matcha milk tea was fine but the boba itself wasn't great at all. I don't think it was cooked well unfortunately. It was very apparent that the strawberry milk tea was powder as it tasted very artificial. Pricey for subpar boba. OVERALL: I probably won't come back for their drinks but maybe just for the mochi donuts. The staff was friendly and place was clean. Bonus points for having a bathroom!
