    Hibachi Filet and Shrimp
    Nick M.

    With barely any Chinese food in St. John and little competition - this place does a great job! Keep in mind this is a take out or pickup only type of place. We always order the hibachi dinners and the food is always hot and fresh and ready when we pick it up. Great people - great food - keep serving us up!

    Looking for some sushi just moved in the area and I have to say this place is phenomenal food was delicious. Service was good. You're looking for something quick easy. This is the place.

    I was glad to have this place in the neighborhood however after returning home to eat I noticed that my rice was still hard and not cooked all the way through, I called the restaurant and asked what could they do. They said that I could come back and get a large rice. Now, wait one second. You mean to tell me that you're going to offer me additional uncooked rice. You've got to be kidding me. I took the food back up there and they immediately started looking for reasons not to refund me saying that I at some of the steak. No shit, I tasted my food. How else would I know if something is prepared correctly? There were a few guest dining inside and I mentioned this to them as well since these people think they can refuse to refund people their hard earned money. The finally settled with me and refunded my card but it was not without attitude and a horrible display of customer service. Usually I'm willing to give establishments second chances however, this one I'm completely through with. After this encounter, I wish I could give this place 0 stars. Buyer beware!

    Really good Asian food. The sushi is definitely the star here for me. The dragon roll is amazing. The staff is really nice and genuine. We go there a lot and have tried a few items. The egg rolls and gyoza are really great too! This is our go to for sushi close to home! Great place!

    St. John really needs to step up their game. Probably the only con in this area is the lack of food options. Hubby and I sat in last night and this restaurant is not set up for dine in. Styrofoam plates and plastic everything. The filling in the crab ragoon was not good, did not taste like crab at all California roll tasted as it should. The miso soup had the world's tiniest tofu pieces. Rice tasted like instant rice. But, I would order (to go) their express hibachi options chicken and vegetables tasted fresh. Customer service was good though!

    Sunday August 23, 2020 Party Tray pt1 - 7 Classic Sushi Rolls
    Robert W.

    This Review is for Sunday august 24, 2020 So today was the first time my Lady and I gave this establishment a try, based on 7 reviews I decided to give them a try and see how they were. So when we go there, the parking lot was basically empty, only vehicles coming and going was the door dash person. These guys are trying to take precautionary measures like any other business out there because of covid. They got their menus on a table, bottle of hand sanitizer on the table as well. On the window, they have a sign asking customers to place an order by phone. So when we got there, my lady was going to ask a question, then she seen the menus on the table. She came back, then we phoned asking a question about one their party trays we were thinking of ordering. So We placed an order for the following: Shrimp Yaki Soba I will say I loved how these noodles were made. The dish has soft noodles, broccoli, zucchini and celery in the dish. I have to say was yummy and I would definitely get it again. As for the Sushi, we got one their party trays that had 7 classic Sushi Rolls and 3 Special Rolls. 7 Classic rolls: California Roll Tuna Roll Salmon Roll Eel Avocado Roll Alaska Roll Shrimp Mango Roll Kani Mango Roll 3 Special Rolls: Rich Salmon Roll Rainbow Roll Atomic Bomb Roll Overall everything but 2 rolls tasted great, flavor was there. For some reason both the Tuna and Salmon rolls had tasted fishy. I made a comment to my lady and well when she tasted it, she said she tasted the fishy taste on the see weed wrap not the fish, so like the person I am, I took one the sushi pieces apart and tried the seaweed by itself and had to spit it back up. The seaweed for those two rolls were tanish not 100% green like then should be, so my partner was correct it was not the fish, but the seaweed that tasted fishy. I am unseen if anyone from that business reads these reviews, but recommend them keep an eye on inventory on what is and is not fresh. Who ever your sushi chef is, should be checking this on daily to make sure this does not happen, things like this can get a customer sick. this is why I gave them the 3 star rating mainly based on 2 rolls we had for the Tuna and Salmon rolls. Other than that issue, everything else was fine. so if going to give them a try, make sure to look over your order if you can, and well hopefully no one has the same experience we did with the seaweed being bad. By looking at my photos you would not be able to tell anything was bad until you tried the tuna or salmon, but things like this happen as a hit or miss. I am unsure if we would try them again, due to this mistake they made, there is no way to say if it would happen again or not.

    Hands down the best sushi in "the region." Honestly, probably one of the best restaurants in northwest Indiana, from a food quality standpoint. We've ordered probably 3 or 4 times (delivery) and haven't been disappointed with a single thing. The udon, lo mein, and sushi were excellent. The beef was so tender and not overcooked, like most Asian places. Favorite rolls have been the peppered tuna and spicy girl rolls. This is the only place in the area we enjoy sashimi. So fresh! Comparable to Chicago quality sushi. Also, odd, but notable was the New York cheesecake slice. So creamy an unexpectedly delicious. I've referred at least 4 friends to order sushi from here and they've all over it and claim it's their new favorite sushi in northwest Indiana as well. When we host friends, we order from here. This place gets a solid 5 stars and a happy, loyal customer

    Super clean-tasting items; service was on point. The crab Rangoon looks small on the menu; they…read moreare, in fact, large.

    We chose your establishment to celebrate Valentine's Day with my son, daughter-in-law, and…read moregrandchildren. Unfortunately, what should have been a special family evening turned into a disappointing and unacceptable experience. When my son and his family arrived, they were told they had to remain in the waiting area. He politely asked why they couldn't be seated inside and was told it was because their party exceeded four people. When my husband and I arrived shortly after, I asked the same question and was given the exact same explanation. However, the dining area was nearly empty -- only two couples were seated inside at the time. Shortly afterward, a larger family (five or more people) walked in and was immediately seated indoors. At that point, it was clear that the reasoning given to us was inconsistent. After I addressed the situation, another staff member stepped in, apologized, and attempted to make things right, even offering a complimentary drink. While I acknowledge that effort, the issue was not about a free drink. It was about how my family was treated from the start. The way my son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren were initially handled was unacceptable and left a lasting impression. Good food does not excuse poor or inconsistent treatment. This experience reflects a need for better communication, consistency, and customer service standards. Because of this, I will not be returning. I hope this is taken seriously so that other families do not experience the same treatment.

    The following is what me and my lunch date ordered on this visit:…read more Vegetable Gyoza $7.00 Shrimp Fried Rice $11.00 Godzilla Roll(10) $16.00 Vegetable Gyoza was very good. The it had good flavor and the sauce that came with it was light. The shrimp fried rice for $11 was enough for two people. It had at least six large shrimp in the rice. The only thing I think could've made it better would be some peas. Love the Godzilla roll. Shared it with my lunch date. I know it adds flare to the role when the shrimp tales are sticking out the end but, it makes it difficult to eat. The ginger was good. The wasabi could've been a little bit hotter. We got seated right away and didn't have to wait long for a server to take our order. They did a good job of making this an Asian restaurant since it was a brewpub before. I will be back to try some other rolls and maybe the house fried rice, which has shrimp, chicken, and steak.

I ordered the vegetable gyzo, Godzilla roll, & shrimp fried rice to share with my husband. Each dish came out individually & quickly. Beautiful presentation. Absolutely loved the Godzilla roll. The vege gyzo was perfectly soft & not chewy. Very good. The shrimp fried rice was huge. Nice sized shrimp. It was very salty though. Tasted like there was a lot of fish sauce in it possibly. Still tasty. The menu is extensive with a large cocktail & sake selection also. Prices are very reasonable. Our lunch was $36.38 without the tip.
