I got the spicy tonkotsu ramen and the broth was amazing. Just the right amount of heat to provide a strong flavor, but not so much that you lose the taste of everything else. I got it with the pork and there was a ton! I also got a lychee green tea with lychee boba and it was one of the best I've had, ever. This was a delivery, so I can't comment on the ambiance, however, they gave a little hang tag so that it's easy to order again the next time. I'm not from here, but I would come back!

Back in the before times (pre-2010), Anaba was my favorite (possibly second favorite behind NAMA),…read moreso I was very happy that the rumors of its demise were highly exaggerated. The restaurant was still there and it was very tasty. We took a seat at the bar and it took my mom and I a few minutes so decide. I got a rainbow roll and a salmon/avocado roll. Being from Portland OR, I am used to non sushi track being significantly more expensive. The total for my rolls was $16+$7.50=$23.50. Not only is the total low, the rolls were twice as large as they are in Portland. I was very happy and quite satisfied with these two rolls. Hopefully I will make it back to Knoxville within two years if not sooner. Anaba is a great restaurant with excellent service and ambiance. Recommend highly.

I love Korean food. There's a few regular spots that I usually pick in Knoxville. K-Pocha is a…read morerelatively new entrant in this space. So, I was curious if this would be a new top contender. To me, it's not quite as good as the other options. The beef bulgogi bowl was pretty good and the egg on top was nicely done. But, I'd rank the taste/flavor as not as good the Gogi Korean and Won Korean. Also, no banchan (Korean appetizers) like Gogi and less appealing interior atmosphere. There was a smell of rank cooking oil that seemed to permeate the dining area. That bothered me the whole meal and made it hard to enjoy the food. Also, comparing K-Pocha to competitors, it's more expensive. If I am paying more, I expect it to be better. Service was decent and prompt. So, no issues there. Just not my favorite place for Korean food. Overall: It's just ok.

The cheese pull on the fried rice was awesome and the cheese fries have that artificial cheese flavor in the best way possible (like a cheese curl or whale crackers). Our server was more than happy to explain any of the food to us and was on top of our drinks. The decorations are pretty cool too and they play a lot of popular kpop music as well. Overall a pretty great first visit for an adventurous eater! :D

We popped in because we wanted a beer before the St. Patrick's Day parade. We ended up staying here…read morea few hours because you could see the parade from the window. It wasn't crowded inside, there are a lot of seating options for big or small groups. Several tables could seat at least 6. Michael was bartending when we went. He did a great job at making us feel like locals! He was attentive even though it was quite busy from people coming in from the parade. The arcade area was pretty cool. Each side had a bar, but only one was open at the time we went. We didn't get food, but it looked like they had some yummy options from what we saw get delivered to other tables. The music was good. The people were friendly as well. This is definitely a place we would return to if we come back in town!

Give a 4 but was really thinking 3.5 stars just because of the food (I didn't order any drinks and…read moreit was a quick stop in). I saw the ramen on the Yelp pictures and it spoke to me, so I walked in and ordered some. You have to stand in line at the bar to order your food so that took awhile, but the food came out pretty quick. I wasn't too impressed with the ramen, and I've had ramen all over the world. The broth was good, I enjoyed the spicy flavor. However, having tomatoes in the ramen was weird and I didn't enjoy that. My biggest complaint is there was very little meat in the ramen, like 2 small chunks of brisket. It seems like a great place to have drinks and hang out, but as far as the food it was meh to me.

Love this place! I think they have the best ramen in town and their sushi is really really on…read morepoint. I think the best thing on the menu as far as the sushios is what they call the Hall of Fame rule. It's basically a chef's choice you can give them your flavor profile like spicy / not spicy / no cream cheese, etc and they won't make it to your liking they'll also tell you exactly which fish was flown in and it's the freshest so you really can't go wrong. Staff is really really helpful and they have excellent bartenders that really understand how things pair with beer wine and alcohol. Speaking of alcohol if they have an excellent selection of Japanese whiskeys and we'll guide you to one that fits your flavor profile. Don't be afraid to ask questions and they will be glad to help you out The atmosphere is very hip but not so hip that it's uncomfortable if you want good conversation go sit at the bar area. But they also have boots and seating around the corner. Like all good sushi places they also have seats at the sushi counter all those those fill up fast so you might want to get there before the busy time which is roughly anywhere from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. they close a little bit later on the weekends at 10:00 p.m. so if you like a later evening experience they've got that vibe too. Don't sleep on the yakitori side of the menu either the Japanese street food is really really good. The chicken skewers and the pork belly are especially tasty especially with beer!

The real secret though is their happy hour every Monday through Thursday from 3pm to 5:00 p.m. they have their monkey rules on sale along with some of the yakitori and it's a great deal. Drink specials too. And the staff is top-notch and a lot of fun!

It came to the office in under 30 minutes, which was shockingly fast. I think I did opt to pay a little extra for the speedy delivery option. When it arrived, I hadn't even noticed my app pinging me. One of my co-workers just brought it in with him. The salmon was still cold and the salad was fresh and crisp. The standard flavors were perfect and I don't have to add any soy or other flavorings. Even the price was reasonable for the quality. I would highly recommend and will definitely come back.

Alright, alright, alright! We found a sushi spot near home -- finally!…read more I genuinely thought we'd tracked down every option in the area, but this one slipped right past me. Maybe "Poke Bowl" in the name threw off my searches -- who knows -- but I'm just glad it finally showed up. It's a small, tucked-away spot in the corner of a strip shopping center, easy to miss if you're not looking for it. Inside, there's a handful of small tables plus mostly counter service, but if you time it right, you can snag a seat at the sushi bar -- it holds maybe 8 to 10 people. And since we're firm believers that sushi night means service, that's exactly where Patrick steered us. He took great care of us all night: walking us through the restaurant's history, offering up solid suggestions, and turning out incredible sushi with genuinely great energy the whole time. Beer's the only drink option here, so if you're after a fancy date night with sake or craft cocktails, you'll want to head further into town. But for a laid-back night with a couple of cold ones, this place absolutely delivers. The sushi itself, though? Fresh, and every single piece was delicious. Honestly, I can't even remember everything we ordered -- most of it was Patrick asking what flavors we liked and just going for it, which is exactly how it should be done. One roll I do remember requesting was the Hardin Valley Roll, and it was a fantastic pick. We'll absolutely be back. And next time I'm craving sushi to go, this is who I'm calling -- no more grocery store sushi for me, ever again.
