“Just had brunch and it was amazing! Our group got a few things and shared and we loved it all. Crab omelette, stuffed French toast, the bowl and last but not least the breakfast sandwich. The food was a 10/10 but the service I can’t even rate. Joey might have been the best server I have ever had, anywhere. Kind, friendly and attentive! Can’t go wrong eating here any time of the day. For the cherry on top, ask for Joey!“

“This is my favourite sushi place. I eat here all the time because I love sushi but I do not like the raw fish. They have a lot of fish-less options and meatless options. This is weird but I am also obsessed with their house salad dressing… it’s addictive. If I want to eat sushi this is the only place I go to.Vegetarian options: Sweet potato roll (cream cheese)Avocado roll (cream cheese)banana roll (cream cheese)veggie roll“

“Sushi was solid. The yellowtail jalapeño appetizer in particular was great. Edamame was evenly seasoned, which is nice to avoid competition for the salt-bombs.Fried rice felt a bit haphazard: too busy with mixed vegetable ingredients, could use more egg. Teriyaki chicken cubes thrown on top didn't really meld with the rest of it.Ramen looked questionable.Stick to their obvious strengths/namesake and pretend the other stuff isn't on the menu.Staff was a bit busy but helpful and courteous.“

Our food was delicious, jokes were amazing, and everything he does is just great. Looking forward to coming in again real soon. The service was great as well, our server was very attentive and met all of our needs! This visit was one of our best! Can't wait to dig in to my leftovers today!“

“Don’t let the run down strip mall scare you…. I can only tell ya about Hibachi and I’d tell ya to not hesitate! They got that down, chefs are very personable, quality of food was good, salads were better than portions are ridiculously big! Now from someone that’s been to hibachis everywhere across the USA I’m gonna give ya a few pointers that you can implement moving forward. 1. When the entire table requests no onions that mean no onions PERIOD. That doesn’t mean no onions in food but it’s ok to bring out the onion choo choo train (putting onion juice on the grill before you cook the meat). 2. Never just hand the guests to go boxes and a bag and expect them to pack up their own take homes. They are paying for the experience of eating out so don’t be lazy and box up your guests leftovers especially since it’s the last impression you leave the guest with. You can do everything right and then botch the ending and that one thing is all they remember. 3. I think I would train the chefs to ask a head a time how the table wants their meal seasoned not everyone will be keen on heavy garlic or butter and it could very well ruin someone meal. 4. Now this one happen to me and personally I don’t care but for future guest I would handle your birthday policy a hell of a lot different ESPECIALLY since your a Habachi place (lots of birthdays) If someone comes in with a birthday simply handle the rules up front! Say “Great, as long as today is your birthday it’s on us or we take 20 bucks off”. No need to try and be sneaky and interrogate during the meal it’s not cool to do. It is perfectly fine if your rules say only on the actual birth date. Now here’s a golden goose tip for you to get more reviews (yes, you need more reviews) and implement this starting TOMORROW! Hibachi diners only: Give a $20 dollar credit off entire bill on next visit (add in rules) - Minimum Order Value - Must show Google Review from first visit. Now you get a repeat customer and a much needed review. Also run a local Facebook no need to let Kobe take all the customers because honestly your food was better and f*ck over price chains!“

“Always wanted to come here and it looked closed but because they're construction next door.It's so quiet inside and they give you a spring roll and soup as per lunch complementary ?I had the yellow curry and it was delicious(slightly salty for me). I wish the stock itself was a bit thicker so I could taste more of it while eating, as well they just put chunks of potato in the curry? Should cut them down because they were still raw.My boyfriend had a chef special and really liked it, was fascinating to see actually pieces of cashews as well!We also tried their sushi out and it was delicious we had no complaints ?Had to try their version of Thai tea as well and it was tasty. A bit too sweet for me personally.Need to try some other dishes.“

“OK, I’ve passed this ago. Never once have I really ever thought about stopping there. However, yesterday, I was in the mood for sushi and was looking up good reviews on DoorDash and found this place. I was surprised to look at the address photos and realize this was the same as the little tiny drive-through I’ve passed by so many times.Honestly, I was absolutely shocked. Sushi can be really hit or miss. My very favorite sushi restaurant in all of Saint Pete does not deliver - but I had a DoorDash credit I wanted to use. I have had sushi at several different places, and most times I was disappointed - either there was too much rice, or the fish didn’t taste, or feel fresh, the flavors were t there. or a variety of other reasons.However, the sushi rolls I got last night were incredible.10/10 do recommend. The flavor was amazing, it wasn’t too thick on the rice, the fish was soft but firm. And the flavor!! Every single bite that I took I couldn’t believe how good it was. While I was eating it, I went back to read reviews, and everyone else basically says the same thing: ??‍♀️ fresh and delicious!How have I been sleeping on this place for the last seven years?!I’m not even kidding when I say that I had it yesterday for dinner and ordered it for dinner as well. One roll I think was $15 and the Philly roll was $8 - Pretty reasonable.Vegetarian options: There were several different sushi rolls labeled vegetarian that consisted of vegetables and rice. Not sure about the rest of the menu because I didn’t look at anything else other than sushi.“

“This is a local hole in the wall. It’s not fancy, but the food is GREAT and service is always timely and polite. The fish is fresh, soups are hot, tempura is crispy and not overly greasy. Shame on the people who complain about food being cold when they clearly ordered a take-out meal. Prices are more than fair. I hope to keep coming here year after year.“
