Oftentimes when I have visited the Valley View Mall in Roanoke, Virginia, I have walked by this…read moreJapanese Food Restaurant. The food cooking on the grill has smelt very good and looked very appetizing, but I specifically have gone to the Mall for an errand or needing to purchase something like sneakers, a belt, or a new wallet on sale to replace an old one falling apart. Today, I went with enough time to visit and dine in this restaurant located in the Food Court of the Mall, but with its own dining area inside the restaurant. The place looked very clean, with a beautiful sign lit from behind with light blue glow. I friendly young lady employee who was earlier talking Spanish with the cook took my order. I ordered a Beef and Shrimp Hibachi. As soon as the order was made the cook started cooking the beef on the grill on the right and another lady cook started cooking the rice and vegetables on the grill on the left. When it was ready they handed it to me over the counter and I went and sat at one of the tables inside the restaurant. The food looked good. The beef was sliced in thin slices so it absorbed the seasoning well. However, I don't know if it was because of this, I found it way much too salty. The shrimps were well peeled and nicely cooked on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside. The vegetables were not many but we're under all the rice and meat. In conclusion, I enjoyed the food but next time will make sure to let them know not to make it too salty.

We ordered orange chicken and fried rice and it indicated it was spicy which it was not. We also ordered sesame chicken and honestly it could have been the same meal except The sesame chicken had sesame seeds on top. The rice was ok - nothing special. We liked the vegetables in each order ! The spring rolls are tiny - that's why there are two together for the price. And the egg roll is very different in that it only had cabbage in it. We had a 15 min pickup window and it was done faster than that. Not sure I'd go back but better than cooking this night!

I don't want to be that person that's like "when I was in Japan..." but this is the BEST most AUTHENTIC Japanese food I've had since my last Japan trip. I ordered the tonkatsu ramen (added house spice) and had the agedashi dofu to start. I also got a classic highball which took me right back to a night out in Shinjuku. Everything was perfection. The highball was a great start to the meal and it just got better and better. The ramen noodles are fresh and cooked perfectly, the broth was flavorful and not too salty, the pork was perfectly cooked without too much fat. The agedashi was a perfect starter for a single diner. You get 3 cubes of fried tofu. The tofu is lightly fried so expect the inside to be juicy and soft. Staff were super friendly and communicated well. It was pretty busy when I got there around 6PM but the staff stayed attentive and courteous. This will be my go to dinner spot from now on. I'm going to tell all my coworkers about it!

This popular Japanese fast-food restaurant located in Towers Shopping Center, a lively strip mall…read morein Southwest Roanoke, is very well known for its excellent hibachi-style meals at reasonable prices. It has a clean, lovely dining area inside the restaurant, yet most people, including myself, either order Take Out, or DoorDash. This evening, after it already had started to snow around this area, I felt like having Japanese food, and since I'm a VIP DoorDash customer, I decided to find out if DoorDash would be operating during the inclement weather of the snow storm of January 2026, and placed an order to this restaurant via DoorDash. I ordered their C09, Filet Mignon and Hibachi Shrimp. It came with fried rice as well as with fresh broccoli, zucchini, onions, and mushrooms. The total for this order was $20.99, not including the delivery fee, service fee, and a temporary weather impact fee of $2, plus tip. The DoorDasher, Yoandri, delivered the order very close to the appropriate time and it arrived fresh and hot in a special container from the restaurant. This container came inside a plastic bag with a heavyweight plastic fork and some sauces and napkins. It was very rewarding to find the food so hot, especially in this kind of cold weather. The clam-shell box where it came in was made of a special material that kept the food hot. I appreciated the owners of this restaurant for using this kind of a box. On delivery foods, it is these little attention to details that make a big difference. The food itself was wonderful. The shrimps were fresh and plumpy, and they were lots of them. The Filet Mignon cut into chunks also tasted very fresh mixed with the fresh vegetable items. And the fried rice tasted just right, not like in some places that it tastes too salty or like the flavor of the grill or wok. And one could see that the broccoli, zucchini, onion, and mushrooms were also fresh and one could taste the difference. This is one of those few places that you can trust that the food being delivered is just as good quality as the one you are served at the restaurant. I highly recommend it for when you feel like having Japanese food at home.

The front section is filled with rice, the two smaller sections contain the entree and vegies. Their prices are in the $10- $14 range, with an extra $2 if you choose beef.

As for the food I have been impressed every time. Every roll I've had has been super fresh and delicious. I sadly do not have a photo but their appetizer "happy jalapeño" is so yummy as well. The only thing I found I didn't enjoy was their fried rice. It isn't bad, but it's a bit different from what I'm used to, so I wasn't the biggest fan of it. Other than that everything else was yummy! Hoping to go back again soon.

A relatively small family-owned restaurant, established in the year 2000 and reasantly renovated. With simple yet elegant decor, it establishes a wonderful mood since the time you enter the restaurant. When you enter there is a counter where you order your food after viewing the menu high above behind the counter. A welcoming young man greeted us and took our order. My friend ordered the Steak and Chicken Hibachi and I ordered the Steak and Shrimp. We both ordered the salad side item, although I wished it would also have included their soup as well. To drink we ordered two sodas. We then went and sat at one of the booths after filling our cups with our drinks from the soda machine. Our server brought our salads. The salad was fresh and very tasted with the salad dressing. The dining room was very elegant yet with a comfortable ambiance. The main entrées arrived in a very nice presentation with the vegetables including zucchini, broccoli, carrots, and onions. The fried looked and tasted delicious as well as the shrimps. However, I was disappointed with the flavor of the pieces of steak. They tasted like if the meat was not fresh, almost spoiled. And this seemed to damage our otherwise wonderful dining experience. I urge the owner and cook of the restaurant to put more attention to the quality of the food by keeping better track of the meat and the temperature control of the freezer where it is stored. I liked this restaurant and if the meat situation is corrected I would definitely recommend it and also return without any hesitation.
