Came back with some friends from Vegas and we ordered the following:…read more Ordered: - Tokyo Fried Chicken Thigh and Spicy Mayo: This is so good! It's perfectly crisp 5/5 - Hamachi and Asian Pear and Aji Amarillo: fish is fresh, pear is good, and the cubed soy sauce all work surprisingly well together 5/5 - Ten layer Pork Tonkatsu and Black garlic: I love the hint of wasabi flavor, but you don't actually feel the spiciness of it. 5/5 - Chicken Skin Skewers: very crispy and thin on the outside and soft on the inside. 5/5 - Chicken Thigh Skewers: the chicken is not dry at all and the green onions helps bring out the flavor more 5/5 - Bone Broth ramen: pork is great, but the noodles, and broth tastes like a wonton soup . The egg yolk tasted different 3/5 - Battleship: the fries are thin and crispy which I love. The cheese balls and meat are good. The curry is good and it should come with a bowl of rice 5/5 - Gyoza: it's more a dumpling, a little too acidic but the meat is very flavorful 4/5 There was no wait this time on a Friday evening. I feel like the music is still too loud, but I enjoy the environment. The staff are always attentive and quick. This was a much better experience, than the first time I came here. However, the prices are still high for the amount of food served.

Took me long enough, but I finnaly stopped by Kauboi Izakaya…read more Walking in, I do like how this place looks. Great way to repurpose an older building in Midtown. Parking is fairly easy, with plenty of street spaces nearby, and an easy walk if you're already hanging around the neighborhood. The service was friendly and fairly prompt, and even for a weekday night the place was bustling, leading to a bit of a backup. Cool vibes all around, and it's neat to sit at the bar and watch the chefs do their thing. Though it does mean this is a little bit on the noisy side. Look at the menu, and there are tons of tempting options. As the name suggests, their specialty here is small plate off the grill or out fo the fryer. But they do serve really good-looking ramen, too, which I will make not to try next time I swing by. I at first went with a quick bite of grilled chicken thighs, which were just amazing! They were juicy, eprfectly seared, with some grilled green onions and an amazing sweet soy sauce. I also went with the yakionigiri, which are balls of rice that are grilled, brushed with sauce, and topped with a sort of mango slaw. A bit uncommon, but wow, these were also just so delicious! Also had a glass of sake, though they have a full bar should you want some other sort of beverage. Prices here are, I feel, a little on the higher end for small plates. However, I think it is definitely worth coming and trying this place out at least once or twice, just to expereince some of the good food. I'm sorry it took me so long to finally step through the doors, but I am certain I will be back again to try more of what's on the menu.

What I really like here is the nigiri, especially the salmon. For all-you-can-eat, the portions are perfect: a little rice with a nice amount of fresh fish. If I were paying by the piece, I might want them bigger, but for AYCE, this is exactly how I like it because I can try more things. The service is always quick and friendly. They don't have the biggest selection, but everything they offer is good. The Playboy sounds a little funny, but it's really tasty if you like a little spice. I didn't get a picture of it, but the Golden Gate is always one of my favorites too. Definitely recommend this place!

On this most recent visit, the hamachi (yellowtail) nigiri was incredibly smooth and buttery and fell apart in my mouth- probably some of the best I've ever had! If you like raw fish with added heat and crunch, I highly recommend the Cherry Blossom Roll & Playboy Roll, as both will hit the spot. The service is good and quick. I think the staff can recognize when patrons are seasoned AYCE sushi eaters like we were and turn up the hustle (in a good way), and I also overheard our server patiently explaining how AYCE works at the table next to us. The place itself definitely leans more fast-casual/no fuss as far as typical sushi restaurants. It's clean with plain walls/no decor, and all seating is all 4-top tables and bar seating. There is a warmth to the simplicity, it's certainly not a bad thing and I'll continue to enjoy it with every subsequent visit.

The wings are perfectly cooked and crispy and have a great flavor. The calamari was so good we ordered a second batch, lightly fried yummy sauce. The ahi tuna is so light and refreshing. The fried flounder was the only thing I did not enjoy, it was way too fried and there was almost no fish meat. The fries were only $3 which was an insane deal! The wonton soup is very good, hot and flavorful. The crab rangoon was overly fried and did not have enough crab filling so I wouldn't order again, but I loved the sauce it came with. I thought charging $18 for bok choy was very steep and not worth the price. Lots of food and left pretty full but it was very fried. Great to come during happy hour and try different menu items!

This place is good for families as dishes ars big and carefully prepared. I would wish to give them a 4 or 5 star but the problem I had is they have too extensive of a menu that dishes are either good or just a miss. The xo scallops are flavored right but are not seared and dont have the proper texture for a cooked scallop. The salted fish rice was ok but it wasnt so salty. The pluses are the cup sized soups are good price and really delicious. The garlic noodles are great as well, but if you have nothing to pair it with just as great then it is hard to eat. They have a lot of items on the menu but when youre a small party of 2 or 3 it is hard to choose what to order. The grilled oysters were great but too huge. The jellyfish was also good. Place is small for a family style setting but it works. It is clean and intimate. I would give them another chance if I have a larger party or guest visiting town so we can try the larger plates and expand the variety hoping to hit their best dishes

Service was okay, but I felt like I was constantly being watched while I was there. It made the experience feel a little uncomfortable and took away from being able to relax and enjoy the meal.

Overall, good sushi, but the service and overall experience kept it at three stars for me.

I have been to many AYCE sushi restaurants here in the Reno area. I never understood how the fish…read morecan be so fresh out here in the high desert. But, it is! The service was very good. We were seated quickly. Now that can be attributed to the fact that we were early for dinner. We opted for a tabled, but there were plenty of seats available at the sushi bar. We only waited for a few minutes before the first wave of fish was delivered. Throughout dinner, we never had to wait long for the sushi to be delivered. The atmosphere was decent. It felt like it was more of a storefront than a traditional restaurant. But, it was a storefront and I don't care about that. I base my rating on freshness, service and cleanliness of the store. One thing that surprised me was the Kani (crab). I ordered it wondering if it would be real crab or imitation. It was real! I was happy and surprised. I ate my fill. Actually, I ate more than my fill. Enjoyed it completely. My sushi coma was justified. Freshness: 10 Service (dining time 3:30pm) : 10 Friendly: 9 (Anymore would be just awkward) Cleanliness: 10 Parking: 10 Bottom Line ------------------ Would I recommend O' A Sushi to friends and family? Yes. Would I go back there again? Yes.

Soooo, I'm starting off with four stars. I may add another, after dining here for dinner as opposed…read moreto lunch. That being said, I am an Ohana regular, so I cheated on them today with O'A. So let's get the cons out of the way first. My son and I sat at the bar, and on the big screen against the wall, CNN FAKE NEWS was playing. Personally irritating, and I don't think they should be showing news shows from any side at a restaurant. We were in during lunch hours, and towards the end of our visit we were the last party there. That being said, clearing out our empty plates and getting refills wasn't very expeditious. I sat probably for about 15 minutes with an empty soda cup. I would understand if it was busy and at night. Disappointingly, lunch has its own separate menu, and you can't order dinner rolls for the lunch price, like you can at Ohana, Hinoki and other places I've been to and frequented. Now that, that's out of the way let's get to the rest of the review. I'm guessing the owners, we're super nice. We were greeted right as we walked in the door and chose our seats. Victor was our sushi chef. Great guy, and turns out some great sushi. The next time I go I will be sure to sit with him, but the other two Cooks were nice also. The entire restaurant, especially the bar area was spotless! I can tell they all take pride in what they do. My sin and I ordered probably 65% of the lunch menu. The quail egg shooters, whcih we ordered about a dozen total were SUPER good, and served in a modified Oriental soup "spoon" instead of a shot glass. Sort of awkward to eat, but doable and tasty. My personal favorite (lunch) roll was the "Crazy Dream" roll. SO many different flavor profiles. They had unique takes on some of the nigiri and appetizers, like the 'butterfly' and the tempura Jalapeno opposed to other sushi joints. So all in all, it was good enough for me to go back and give the dinner menu a try.

Service I would give a 2 star. The chocolate icecream looks like it was be prescooped into the cups then put back in the freezer after it had melted a little. In the picture, you can see it was melted at some point and then refrozen. Makes the ice cream taste gross. I got passed by 7 different times before a waiter told me to put the ticket in the holder for someone to come get it. The server was going to put it in the holder and walk away without it until I mentioned I'd already been passed by several times, then he took it with a huff. In 2018 I gave this place a 5 star so I wanted to try it again with my mother and my son. A little disappointed. I'm willing to give it another chance but not anytime soon. I need the distaste of bad service to get out of my mouth before I return.

The ramen here is stand out. Like REALLY stand out! We came here on a whim, and left so surprised…read moreand impressed that it is safe to say this will become a favorite stop when we're in those noodle-y sorts of moods. Firstly, I love the ambiance here. It is a relatively small space, with just a few tables and some bar spaces, so fairly intimate yet casual. Tucked back on west Fifth Street, it kind of feels like a little gem in this section of town. Also, the service here was like so beyond friendly and prompt. Major props go out to the owner and her staff for doign such bang-up work! And the price point for everything is really reasonable for the ramen bowls, and alright for appetizers. But enough about all that, let's delve into the food! My party and I snagged a couple large sapporos and some hot sake, and began the meal with some appetizers. The potstickers were yummy and the takoyaki were excellent. After that, we all got our assorted ramen selections. One of my friend liked the Shiro Ramen, andother went with Spicy and said it was great. But I went with the Miso Ramen, and it was simply outstanding. Delicious, full flavor, and served not so extra hot as I've experienced other places. Had to get a couple extra of those marinated soft boiled eggs, too, as I just love them! All told, I think this spot should be on anyone's radar for exceptional ramen in Reno. Definitely the noodle house I think that's hit the most top notches on my list. For sure will be returning.

Update review: they have since refined their menus from about 4 years ago…read more To start the service is always fantastic. And th space offers limited seating so please be patient. We started with takoyaki which was very much improved and amazing. It was flavorful, tasty and a great starter. The dashi flakes and sauce on top was a great starter. Holy moly they definitely perfected what they offer. I never thought I would be a fan of dipping cold noodles in hot broth but here we are. The umami flavor of this dish was out of this world. The creamy broth, the flavorful sides and the noodles made this a quite enjoyable experience. I would definitely recommend the Kakuni Tsukemen if you stop by. 10/10 for improving their menu, service and perfect and limited offering. Stop on by if you're ever in town!
