While the food is OK the manager here, is so rude to her worker. I was only there for a short period of time when I witnessed the manager Yell at one of her employees in front of customers for a small mistake. Well yes it was the employees fault I do think it's so unprofessional and rude to do it in front of customers. As someone who is a manager but who has also been an employee somewhere at one point I personally would never treat my workers like this, and I can only imagine how she treats her workers behind doors. It was so inappropriate and rubbed me the wrong way that I will not be eating here again. If You girls are reading this. You deserve better and should find a new job that was extremely inappropriate

Had the Alaskan roll and it was good, just assuming not fresh. It messed my stomach up.

This is my favorite place to come after a long day. It's amazing lounge vibe is so relaxing and the food here is phenomenal. The waitress, Esther is so kind and always attentive whenever I come with family and friends. I've been coming here for years and I still to this day, strongly believe that this is the best sushi place!!!

Food was not good. Chicken wings tasted frozen. My eel roll had bones in it. Dammed was so yummy. Not a place I would go again. Drinks were good price..alcohol wise. The tea was not good. Service was excellent.

Ordered food to go and took 20 minutes to get home.Yakisoba had an off taste to it.All tempura was bland. Green pepper tempera was odd tasting.The popcorn shrimp was bland.Rib eye was supposed to have wasabi. I assumed this meant as a side to mix in with the potatoes and vegetables. However, it was mixed in with the vegetables and was extremely mild.Lotus, Lemon, and Lotus rolls were not acceptable. Huge rolls, brown avocado, and proportions were off.Obviously, it would have been better if we ate in. We order out many times for Japanese food with other restaurants and this was our worst experience.

Didn't realize we came in close to closing time so the atmosphere was quiet as it was just us in the restaurant, but the sushi was outstanding!

I love the concept. The red seating, dimmed lighting, and light background music really set the tone... a great place for first dates and date nights. I was able to mellow out and relax. Full bar. Great happy hour! Try the stuffed mushrooms! The dish is dense but delicious! Accessible parking and entrance.

We love the Lotus Roll it comes literally flaming hot! Just tasty and such a large enough portion for a meal. The egg rolls are delicious and huge! The fried rice and tempura shrimp area must! Good and strong drinks! I enjoy going here for my birthday for the tempura cheese cake! We go here often for ordering to go!

The restaurant is a great place for first dates and date nights. The seating, dark lighting, and soft music really help unwound and relax. The dishes were prepared perfectly. I loved the stuffer mushrooms. Full bar. Great happy hour! Accessible parking and entrance.

I am a server myself, so I try to be understanding. However, I draw the line at COCKROACHES and bad service. Elizabeth was our server, and she really didn't bother with being nice. Waved us to sit wherever ( the place was EMPTY ).Elizabeth was very much on her time and not our time. She walked away immediately after I said my first starter, I had to call out the rest of my order as she was at the ziosk already. She looked annoyed.After our appetizers, I'm looking around, and I see a HUGE COCKROACH on the white wall near one of the tables. I tell Elizabeth about the cockroach. She goes over and looks at me like I'm making things up until she spots it and slams her foot down onto it. She looks at me and says, "Oh, I see it now." She proceeds to sweep it up and walk into the back without a backward glance at us. Needless to say, I've lost my appetite. She brings us our entrees, not asking us any question, no offer of apologies for the cockroach display. I couldn't eat my basic orange chicken, and my husband hardly touched his bento box. Meanwhile, we can hear laughing in the kitchen from our server. We are still the only ones in the restaurant. She finally returns to ask us if we wanted boxes. I told her I couldn't eat my orange chicken and we wouldn't be taking anything home. She charges me full price for EVERYTHING. I asked her to take the orange chicken off since I didn't eat it. She gave me a look that suggested this was all completely my fault.I came here with my family several years back, and it was a regular spot for me and my parents. So, I was excited to bring my husband here. I left feeling embarrassed and sick.
