Went here for lunch with a friend last week and we were so excited to try their bento boxes. We were not disappointed!! Portions were good and food was tasty. Service was good and the atmosphere was cosy too.

I love chirashi don at Sushiya and Soseki, but will not have it here again. It tasted too fishy, like the fish was left out too long. The wasabi was dry and not spicy, even when eaten straight. On the upside, they did give me extra wasabi as requested.

The food is pretty decent, and the servers are nice enough. The only problem is there is kind of a lot of clutter around by the back part of the sushi bar.

Horrible service and they take forever.

Great place to go when you are craving some good soup! We didn't try any sushi yet as it's our first time eating here. We had the classic pho and fried chicken katsu ramen. They were excellent!! We asked for the chili oil and they make it in house with lots of spices and different chilis. We didn't have any tendons in our pho but they are probably trying to appease the masses but the broth was tasty. Ramen friend chicken and egg were yummy. We eat pho often but not so much ramen at restaurants. Great place to go if a group is feeling like a variety of types of food-soups,hot dishes or sushi! I am also intrigued to try their Mapo tofu.

Service was great! Spicy edamame didn't have much flavor for having a spicy garlic sauce. Seaweed salad is good, no extra seasoning added so it's plain but good. The two sushi rolls I got were just basic. No flavor, the rice they used for the rolls wasn't good, it just was so bland. I wouldn't get it again. Presentation of the food is good though.

Amazing sushi!!! Also tried the Tuesday specials as well as ordering a couple special rolls! Soooo good & great service! Relaxing, cozy atmosphere! Took steak fried rice to go - sooo good! Can’t wait to go back!

Waited over an hour for food that never showed. The waitress said she was new so not her fault but the manager never came to explain things. The atmosphere is just ok, nothing special.

Recently at the restaurant for the first time honestly loved it! The owner was aware and even socialized with us which isn't typical.Coming back next time I am in Iowa City!
