We had reservations and sat at the bar and enjoyed watching all of the mouth-watering food preparation. We started off with the lychee saketini. YUM! So light, refreshing, not too sweet and loved the itty bitty ice chips. The rest of the meal was amazing! I wanted to lick the ponzu sauce on the hamachi jalapeño. So so good! Loved the strawberry accents. Tofu burrata was a nice surprise, very mild and creamy with the puff flatbread. Wagyu just melted in your mouth. Great flavors. I wish I had taken a picture of whole big ass tuna as he brought it out and prepared it for us - I was in awe of how beautiful and fresh it was. Delicious! We tried the cool demon slayer sake and it was so nice and smooth, it may be my new favorite drink and replace my white wine for a little bit. Give it a try. The ice cream dessert with the two flavors was the perfect way to cap off the night. Definitely recommend you go!

We got the Diablo Roll, the spicy tuna roll, and the salmon roll. All three were amazing, fresh, and filled us up. My favorite would have to be the Diablo roll because the flavor was rich and delicious. Presentation of the rolls was also a 10/10! We placed an online order for pick up and it took around 35 minutes. It looks like there isn't a whole lot of seating inside, but I would love to come back and eat here in-person!

This spot is perfect for anything from a casual lunch with coworkers or clients to dinner with family, friends, or even a date night. It's a clean, cozy hole-in-the-wall that consistently delivers a great meal. I've tried several items on the menu, and my favorites are the gyoza (potstickers), pork egg rolls, beef ramen, and the Super Bowl (beef & chicken with veggies over rice). Everything is flavorful, fresh, and hits the spot every time. One thing to know: you order before you sit down. There's a TV menu on the right when you walk in, along with daily specials on a chalkboard. Just order, pay, grab a seat, and enjoy. With the unpredictable April weather, this is the perfect place to warm up with a bowl of ramen whether you like it spicy or mild. The family that runs this place is incredibly friendly, patient, and always willing to help if it's your first time. Their customer service is top-tier. Definitely a go-to spot for ramen and Asian cuisine cravings!

I got to (re)appreciate this business that's in my direct neighborhood today…read more I don't quite recall when the last time was when I utilized this restaurant. I wanted something super quick and yet something of quality (as I was headed my way to my side hustle later in the afternoon.) Asuka Ramen and Poke, all of a sudden, hit me with a thought, "It's been a while since I last used them for a good poke bowl." In a way, it was an opportunity for me to appreciate it for the first time in a while so I did just that. They use a deep (large) bowl for the Build Your Own poke bowl (this is the only size) for to-go. When I asked for "half and half" for the base (white rice and greens), the young man behind the ordering counter generously pressed the white sushi rice into it. He then placed some green leaves on one side of it. "Looking good" I thought. For the protein, I chose salmon, tuna and yellowtail. For the rest (such as sauce etc.) I don't quite remember what I got me and yet, this young man sure wasn't anything close to "stingy" (lol)! As to show his appreciation for my business, he built my bowl with precision and generosity. I like the fact that they have one size for to-go poke bowl (this simplifies the process on their end and our end.) At the flat rate of $16 (unless you get additional protein which is $3) is also reasonable for the size. I got the impression that this is a business that they simply don't operate for profit; they operate for the social responsibility's sake. And of course, this above-and-beyond young man didn't fail to forget to ask me if I would need utensils or drink. He gave me everything I would need. Once I got to my job site, I parked my car in the parking lot and started devouring my beautifully tailored (to my preferences) bowl. The fresh ingredients, the way it was built, and the overall volume of it, it was impossible for me to find a single reason why this was one of the best poke bowls I've had in the recent few months. That was when I came to appreciate how lucky I am to live just up the street from this tiny and yet mighty poke place. I need to visit this place more going forward.

From the moment you sit down, you're served with an appetizer - to really whet your appetite - without having to ask for it or be billed for it! It was a crab and cucumber salad, with a mayo dressing that's not sweet, perfect for summer days! This demonstrates the Japanese hospitality so well. Everything we had: from the sushi, to grilled items like Takoyai and Yakitory skewers, to Tempura, and even the plainer stuff like udon noodle soup and (simply) salted kamachi hama, was flavorful and carefully crafted. If I HAD to frown on one thing, it was the specials menu where they didn't make the dot prominent enough so I mis-read the Salmon Belly special to be $55 when it was $5.5 (LOL). Oh well, it made for a good laugh throughout our meal!

From the second I walked in, service was impeccable, welcoming, and helpful. Staff went above and beyond to walk me to the restroom (as it was my first time dining here), out to my patio table, and quickly brought water. Everyone was dressed up for the occasion, chandeliers were lining the interior with a gorgeous and sophisticated look, and the music was a fun K-Pop/dance vibe. Our table of three started with the Buddha Button (essentially a lemon drop martini with Deep Eddy's and a special flower that invigorates your taste buds to create a literal "party in your mouth"). Anything cold adds to the buzzing, vibrating energy; pair the flower with a cold cocktail and it's a phenomenal experience! We also had a bottle of white wine - it was to be expected: tasty. We tried the crab rangoons and thought they were a fun snack, although $21 for four rangoons was tough. I could've gone to Panda Express and gotten four for $3.99 and called it a day. Christine and I both had the Miso Sea Bass - easily the crowd favorite. Even though it was light, it was very flavorful with the sauce, mushrooms, and rice included in the meal. It was mostly filling, though charging $64 for that as the main entree is quite a big stretch. The crowd winner was our server, Maddie. She had amazing recommendations, a full understanding of the menu, and was very attentive and personable. Overall, fun experience! The price for the quantity of food makes it a dubious chance of returning, but A+ for the staff!

Ala in all, Jing is a great place. It's a vibrant place to see and be seen…read more Jing USED to have the absolute best crab Rangoons; however, we were told the head line-cook decided to turn them in to crab & cheese empanadas. Rather than the light, crispy purses they used to be, they are now doughy, barely cooked Mexican-fusion and chewy triangles. And they charge $21.00 for them. Technically, the person who made this decision is called, internally, the head chef, but anyone who makes such awful food is a beginner line-cook.

My husband and I decided to try out a new ramen place…read more This Ramen place is located next to Pindustry that we chose to stay for a late night bowling game. It's a fairly small restaurant so we did have to wait a bit. Since it is Ramen, it is served fairly quickly. The Ramen broth was super flavorful, and the noodles were cooked perfectly. My husband got the traditional Ramen well I decided on the dipping Ramen. I think both were great options. The dipping Ramen had a great sesame and nutty flavor. Overall, I would definitely be back, but unfortunately, we live a bit far.

After dining at Sukiya Ramen, my total was $45 for two ramen dishes and an appetizer. Later, I noticed that my bank transaction had been increased to $53 without my authorization--an $8 tip was added after I left. I did not authorize any tip, nor did I leave a signed receipt approving one. This kind of behavior is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about how transactions are handled here. I will be contacting the restaurant to resolve this, but I strongly advise others to carefully review their receipts and bank statements if they choose to eat here. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this place.

Despite the high price point, having no soy sauce ramekins, a terrible drink (only ordered a margarita because the other cocktail options are limited), and nonexistent servers- I was just hoping for the food to be correctly brought out and tasty. Nope. Didn't get that either. When they brought the food out, it wasn't what we ordered, and our server vanished. After waiting for a long time, while being very hungry, I ate of one of the pieces of the salmon nigiri (there were 3 of us and only 2 pieces of the correct nigiri- I needed to eat something!). When the server reappeared she was busy on the hibachi side doing something (we were the only table in the entire restaurant), didn't check on us, so I got up to go talk to her about the mix-up. She was VERY confused, but after re-explaining multiple times, she brought us the additional yellowtail nigiri that we originally ordered along with the salmon roll that you can see on the photo I included. After seeing what our (not so cheap) roll looked like, I was pretty much over this place and wanted to just leave. Our bill was high and included the salmon nigiri that we did not order. Once again I had to get up to go talk to the server, and explain the situation despite us having already discussed it. She instantly said, "But you ate it!", and that is what ultimately led to me writing a review rather than just looking ahead and never coming back. At this point, I am arguing with this woman trying to explain that we came to eat a meal, were hungry, couldn't find the server and inevitably ate 1 of 2 pieces of salmon nigiri that we did not order since there were 3 people and only 2 pieces of what we did order. She did not agree with me, so I left it at: we are not paying for the salmon, you can bring me the updated bill. It's rare (for me) to experience a server be so argumentative, and I've never seen sushi so poorly rolled. This place isn't it. I never want to give a business a bad review, but this is unfortunately warranted. Try literally anywhere else as there are multiple other sushi restaurants within 10 minutes of this place.
