I ordered the salmon tower and there was sooooo much salmon! Everything was so fresh and flavorful. They have so many unique options to choose from. They don't skimp!

Our party tried 2 of the specials, one rainbow roll, and a side of the stir fried vegetables. The veggies were delicious with just the right amount of oil and soy sauce.

I've found good ramen or pho around this state but not the kind that you crave on a rainy day or when you realize you're coming down with a cold. Not the soulful comforting kind. When I first tasted the ramen here it brought a tear to my eye. Finally, a ramen I would crave and drive 2.5 hours to enjoy. As for ambiance, it's not like any other restaurant in town. Very authentic to the fun side of Japan and feels a bit like dining inside of an old school arcade. Lots to look at and chat about while you eat! Thank you for providing a taste of home and good food for me to crave!

Both kids didn't finish. The gyu fried rice was pretty salty, the "steak" pieces were tiny, just overall below average. The yakitori was nice, both chicken and belly pork were grilled nicely.

Food: I ordered the wild salmon bento. It was a little on the fishy side. That is my only comment. The macaroni salad and the cucumber salad was good. The chicken Katsu was pretty good in my opinion. I do miss my bentos I would get when I ride the Shinkansen. Ambiance: small, cute, clean shop. I liked it. I feel there are limited ingredients in Central Oregon. This is pretty good for what we get in Central Oregon. I am happy that there is a small Japanese community in Bend. I can't wait to join it!

If I'm comparing to LA style and LA palates, this may be a 3-star. However, LA is competitive so it…read moreisn't fair and mainly rating it accordingly to the area and palates of a much less asian community. So if comparing on Oregon alone, giving it a 4. In general alone without comparisons: - chicken teriyaki flavors and sauce was perfect and not overwhelming BUT it was very charred. Loads of scattered chars on chicken which spread throughout rice made it difficult to eat without having the thought of eating a bowl of high cancer risk. (See pic. All the black areas, sauce and rice had specks scattered like pepper all over but is char). Unless you love a great char bbq flavor, then this is for you. Again, had it not been so overly charred, I actually really liked this. - the gyudon bowl was good. No char here. Descent portion and meat to rice ratios (same as the chicken). One thing i like is they used lean beef instead of the traditional fatty beef belly short plate type slices. Easier for me so I don't have to pick out the fat strips. Flavor is not bad but this compared to chicken teriyaki sauce is much stronger. More saltier and sweet than what im used to. I actually prefer the juices from yoshinoya instead which seems more brothy. In addition, unsure if its my taste buds but if i taste it correctly, it was missing dashi base. Although i also feel its catering to local taste buds and preferences which I could completely understand: so if you prefer more flavors (salty and sweet) and less or no dashi flavors then this is for you. - We also got spam musubi (this is quite generic and cant really go wrong). So this is definitely a safe one to get. Service: there were a skeleton crew of 3. They were all super nice and sweet. I can tell they take a lot of pride and care in making your food. They made our chicken to order, as I saw one lady literally just cutting strips of chicken to cook. So I will also add that it took awhile to get our food. So if you are coming hungry, expect a wait and be patient as they are a small crew especially during busy rush hrs. Or call in your order ahead of time. Ambience: like many Japanese establishments, they are usually small. Just a long table along each side of a long hallway. However, there are sooo many nice parks and malls around that we took it to go and did a small picnic nearby. It was amazing. Cost: definitely much more costly than LA. Oregon doesn't have sales tax but exchanged with the spiked price tags (more tourists vibe prices).

The restaurant runs on a highly efficient counter-service model: you wait in line to order, and a server coordinates whether you want to grab a table inside or out on the patio. Once we were seated, our food came out incredibly fast. I had the Spicy Pork Noodles, and my partner got the Yellow Curry loaded with shrimp and pork belly. Both main dishes were packed with flavor, and the crisp cucumber salad was the perfect side to share. I also ordered a hard cider to wash it down. Everything was delicious from start to finish.

Just enough spicy without being too much. Ordering at the counter seemed interesting to me due to the layout of the dining room, but the staff knew exactly what they were doing and were able to direct us to a seat easily! Our food and drinks also came in a timing manner. I really appreciated that we could see all the way back into the kitchen and there was transparency between the kitchen and the consumers. The bar looked gorgeous and I would definetly like to sit there next time for the vibes. I also loved that they provided self-serve boxes, napkins, and utensils but still had a sign asking patrons to be concious of how much they're using. The overall flow between ordering, self serve, and dining was super efficient and nice! Can't wait to come here again!

While visiting Bend Oregon we decided to go back to visit Chi Chinese and Sushi Bar…read more It wasn't as crowded from the last time we visited and got seated right away. We ordered family style I ordered the orange chicken which was good and flavorful. The Seafood tofu soup was very good and tasty with a lot of vegetables and seafood and tofu. The appetizer platter was good and gave a good selection of their appetizers, so if you enjoy an appetizer you could order more. The fried spring rolls came out hot and crispy and the sauce was good it was the type you can buy at the market, sweet chili sauce which is what most restaurants are using. The sushi rolls we had 5 different types of sushi's rolls, which was good, but for sushi you should order 1-2 rolls at a time and as it starts to get eaten, then order the next set. First if you order all at once hardly any room on the table and sushi should be eaten fresh right away and also there was so much left over and to eat it the next day is the worst way to eat sushi! Staff were friendly and service was good and restaurant and restrooms were clean and well maintained. Lots of parking

This time we got the Caviar Juk ($20), Caviar Ppang ($20), two mocktails: Watermelon Basil and Apple a day ($8 each), and the Oli main ($32). Caviar Juk is still elite. The Caviar Ppang is also very good, the foie adds a great fattiness to the brine of the caviar. The duck was tender and rice was interesting and fruity. Both mocktails were also great. Watermelon Basil is sweet and tart. Apple a day is like a pear juice, so good. The no longer have the kimchi bread anymore, I almost cried.

Unfortunately, the dish I ordered was not tasty to me. I got the Bibimbap, which is a dish I've had at other Korean restaurants. By comparison, the one at Yoli was dry with a very unusual taste I couldn't quite place. The meat was almost non existent... very little at all in the bowl, which was mostly rice. And while the rice was good, it lacked any kind of sauce or added flavor. I don't think I'll return.
