"This is place is a god send. Me and my boyfriend were so sad when we got to Tech and the only sushi in the near vicinity was Sushic. We tried this place yesterday, and I would give it a 4.5 stars if I could, but I’m giving it 5 because I don’t think it deserves anything lower than a 4 overall! We got two sushi rolls, the chicken fried rice, the cheese kani, and the dumplings. The rolls we got were really good for the price. I got the volcano roll and my boyfriend got the alaska. The volcano roll was really good, but the fried batter on the outside was a little hard. My boyfriend said the alaska was good and for raw sushi it tasted pretty good. The dumplings and cheese kani (crab rangoons) were also really good for the price. The rice was bland but the chicken was really good, mixing the chicken in the rice and adding soy sauce makes the rice better, but it was definitely the least satisfying thing we had. The open-seating and ordering concept was interesting and something to get used to. The staff were nice and you can tell the owner really cares for her customers and restaurant. One critique I have is that there’s no indication on the sushi whether or not it’s raw. As someone who does not like raw fish, it would make the ordering experience easier, but you can always ask if it’s a big concern. Really pleasant experience and we will definitely be ordering again!"

"Ordered online. Pick up was easy. Everyone was really nice. The new atmosphere is open and more casual. Looked good and clean. The food was excellent. Got Steamed dumplings. Miso soup. Chicken yaki sobe, and the sushi combo B. Prices were good. Will definitely be back"

"food was mid Not bad but not spectacular, and everything came in a to-go container or on a paper plate. And they don't have free water. Service was horrible. We didn't get our meal till 50mins after ordering. Only two other couples where there. We had to go to the front and remind them they we still need part of our order. Atmosphere was unwelcoming. No one welcome us in and honestly we were confused when we walked in because the place to order food was in the back. They are still very new, I really hope they improved."

"To start, lets look at the positives. This is one of the few Asian cuisine spots in this area, only Panda Express and Raw currently as competitors. The area where we ate was clean, however, the area looking like it was a in-between of the previous location and the new one. Staff was friendly, but we only saw them one time and that was when they were bringing our food. Speaking of waiting for food, the Sushi took 45 mins to come out. It was just one roll, and we got there an hour before closing. The food, was ok at best. Stuff I could easily make at home. My Shrimp fried rice was a bit lacking in flavor and honestly reminded me of eating at Panda Express. Wife ordered Steak and Chicken hibachi, and it was good, chicken was a little dry, but still good none the less. Honestly, this place is still new, but has A LOT to work on in my honest opinion. If they work on their issues, they could have a many years ahead of them here in our area, however, they need to get them worked out. We will probably not come back unless something changes."
