They do feature lots of specific Chinese dishes as well but rarely do you see someone eating these in the dinning area which almost always has room. They are organized and quick with the rare exception of big sushi orders coming in at once. And the pick three sushi rolls is a common and my go-to order. Eel avocado, fried sweet potato, and peanut avocado is my eclectic mix of choice (picture below). Dining companions who opt for the bowls often get a lid and take home leftovers (or they should). And hot tip - pay with cash and get a free fountain drink! It is located right in the middle of Court Street, the main drag for Athens. Parking isn't always available right in front at meters but the parking garage is a block away. They do quite a bit of delivery business as well.

Public Post About Authentic Cheesesteaks As someone…read moreoriginally from South Philadelphia, I just wanted to respectfully share something about cheesesteaks. A traditional Philly cheesesteak is not made with roast beef. Roast beef has a completely different texture, seasoning, and flavor profile. While it may seem similar, it's not the same thing. An authentic cheesesteak is made with: * Thinly sliced ribeye steak (or shaved steak / minute steak as an acceptable substitute) * Cooked on a flat-top grill * Lightly seasoned (usually just salt and pepper) * Chopped and folded together while cooking * Served on a fresh hoagie roll (Amoroso-style if you want to be authentic) * Topped with either Cheez Whiz, American cheese, or Provolone * Optional additions: sautéed onions (this is traditional), sometimes mushrooms or peppers depending on preference The key element is fresh shaved steak cooked to order, not deli-style roast beef placed on bread. There's nothing wrong with roast beef sandwiches -- they're great in their own right -- but calling it a cheesesteak changes the standard of what people expect, especially for those of us from Philadelphia where this sandwich originated. I'm sharing this respectfully in hopes that local spots consider offering a true steak version. There's a big difference in quality and authenticity, and people would absolutely appreciate it.

Very attentive staff. We also told the staff that it was my Dads birthday and he got a free chocolate cake that was really yummy according to all the kids the inside was really nice. Wasn't too bright, which I just personally don't like when I'm eating. It was dark by any means. It had a nice warm-ish feeling. There was an area inside where you could see the staff cooking the food. I thought they'd cook at your table but they don't. There's just a bar like area where they cook the hibachi stuff. They also offer sushi which I wasn't sure of. The food was really good. The kids even approved. The only down side was the prices. They were a tad bit pricey for me but, it is a really nice place to go to once in a while.
