"Great sushi. Always friendly staff and quality ingredients!"

"Not a great experience here. I believe I may have more to offer in oriental culinary arts than this restaurant offering multi-national dishes. This is hard to write up but all 3 parties with me gave up after 3-4 bites of separate dishes. Japanese and Thai foods are my favorite in the world and I have enough globe trotting experience (not to mention having lived there) in various Asian countries to know menu, ingredients and taste. I thought it may just be me with the beginning of appetizers that seemed (off) but No, it was everyone at my table. The restraunt looked the part. Not flashy, basic. Exactly how this type of restaurant should be. But when it comes down to food……that’s another story. I’ll only hit a couple of topics. The waiter seemed happy and delighted we were there. A most gracious host. But when I asked about a couple of my dishes in particular that’s when this place showed its true colors. The seaweed salad here is a carefully placed tiny portion of seaweed (that seemed a bit stale) placed on top of a chunk of lettuce. Lettuce? The waiter saw me eyeballing this concoction and almost never made it over. Bad sign when there are 8 people in the restaurant. When he did come over he started answering my question but he was so hung-ho to answer he failed to even wait to see why I had called him over and to boot I had not even spoken yet much less asked a question. He stated out of the blue “This is how my chef makes it”. I’ve lived in parts of Asia where these dishes hail but not once have I ever seen a place literally use lettuce…..EVER. Then Padi-Thai with chicken. I’ve never seen them made without the Padi noodles. Looked like Lo-Mein noodles and I don’t know what it was topped with but it sure wasn’t crushed peanuts. My guests had totally different dishes and by looks it wasn’t the norm but I know how it should taste. Even with differences. No where close. After 3-4 bites of my and my guests dishes we decided it was time to go. Also a first for me is having the waiter avoid me at all costs for a question that had yet to be asked. That’s 3 thumbs down and they don’t have to worry about any arguments from me; we won’t be back. On a separate note the Miso Soup was pretty good."

"Great food all around and very consistent. I go for the West Virginia Roll, salad, Beef Lo mein, & General To’s Chicken"

"Just passing through and stopped for lunch. Everything was excellent! Chicken and steak hibachi, with soup and lo mein- $13! You could stretch it out a few meals if you needed to."

"I love this restaurant and we come here very often. They always give us great service, the portion sizes are generous, everything always tastes good/fresh, and the food always comes out fast. No complaints .. Oh and I seen someone talking about the salad.. I think they probably don’t like the ginger dressing. I have been to many similar places in many states and ordered house salad with ginger dressing and this is comparable to everywhere else. I order this salad every time I come."
