"The food was bland and had little to no flavor I ordered the combination fried rice that came with a huge mound of rice with two shrimp two ounces of chicken and one ounce of beef I will never come here again. Also sent back the egg rolls I ordered because they were disgusting but they did. Not take it off my check"

"⚠️ DO NOT GO HERE ⚠️ After the new owners took over this place has turned to pretty much dog food. I ordered shrimp and steak fried rice. It came with 3 pieces of shrimp and 5-6 small pieces of steak. I ordered a SIDE of shrimp and steak to counter act the lack luster of meat on the dish. They gave me double in a SIDE. This place is on the downhill big time. ⚠️DO NOT GO HERE⚠️"

"We were referred here. It’s only reason we tried it. We ordered steak hibachi and shrimp hibachi. The portions were tiny. Especially compared to other places. The rice was fried and hardly any eggs in the rice. Steak was tiny bits and tasted like tenderized steaks. I literally had to season my food and add an egg to it when I made it home. The yum yum sauce tasted like salad dressing so I’m assuming they gave us extra salad dressing instead of yum yum sauce. The Miso soup came in a tiny styrofoam container and was cloudy. I didn’t eat. The shrimp had the same portion size and blandness. I honestly see why it’s cheaper than other hibachi places. There’s no quality to the food and the food portions are tiny. Staff/Hostess were welcoming and our food was prepared on time. I will never return or recommend this place."

"We are never let down when we come. We were lucky enough to come around 12:30, right before the rush. Once again, our sushi was so good and super filling. I swear they’re making the portions larger each time we come."

"This place blew me away. I must say that my expectations for the sushi were mediocre, given the location of the restaurant relative to the ocean. However, the restaurant sure proved me wrong. The sushi I was served is among the best I have ever experienced. I was there during a relatively slow time, so I had multiple staff helping me with whatever I needed. They were all extremely attentive, and courteous beyond belief. I will most definitely be returning next time I pass through Meridian"
