Small place great food. Went there on a whim out of the blue just to try a new place. Was pleasantly surprised. Seems that a quiet a few of the older generation has already found this place and enjoy it often. I will be back often as well.

This place was amazing. I am so glad we stopped here to eat yesterday. The kimchi was the best I have ever had. My daughter wanted to try it for the first time and we both liked it. She ordered shabu pot and said it was very good. I ordered hunan tofu and it was delicious. We also split a sushi roll that was very good. Trinity tried the strawberry milk tea with boba.The man who waited on is was very nice, helpful, and just all around awesome. We will be back! I've been telling people since yesterday that they should go too.

Saturday night was our first visit to this restaurant. It was also our last. I'm not sure how this place has the good reviews shown here. We placed an order online for a family dinner (6 people). The original pick up time was 6:15'-6:20pm. My husband arrived at 6:20 and was told it was going to be another 30 minutes!! There were 4 people dining in the restaurant and 3 people waiting for pickup orders. As time passed this grew, including Door Dash drivers. 30 minutes turned into 50 minutes!! Upon arriving home 10 minutes later, the food was luke warm and not exactly what we ordered BUT they did throw in FREEE Chinese donuts for our wait!! The donuts were the best part of the meal (however they were still doughy in the middle). Most of the entrees were inedible. Since we ordered online, we paid in advance AND tipped 20%!! Let's just say they got us on Saturday night but never again. I also feel bad for the Door Dash driver who was going to get a bad review only because of this place. They ruined family dinner for us and negatively impacted an earning opportunity for others. I hope they read this and do better in the future. Good luck but we won't be back and I just can't recommend this place to anyone.

Pam this cute little robot that delivers your food. There is a huge list of options and I took advantage of this. I have to say that the kimchi is perfect! Enjoy everything they have every time I go! I have been picking odd times and it is so peaceful here in the husband and wife team are so cute and sweet!Vegetarian options: When it comes to vegetarian options you get what you order here! Plenty of different vegetables and different presentations.Wheelchair accessibility: Open floor plan, plenty of tables, plenty of parking access. Very friendly Weight staff and a humorous little robot that delivers the food to your table.

Stopped to place a carry out 12/16/23. Ordered a couple sushi rolls, egg drop soup, egg rolls, scallop with snow peas and chicken with vegetables slightly spicy. The rolls both had a watery mayonnaise sauce. Neither traveled home well. You don't put such a sauce on an eel roll - yuck! Fried rice seemed to be nothing but yellow rice with soy sauce. Neither of the stir fried dishes were particularly flavorful, rather bland. Egg drop soup was also bland. Got so free donuts, but that wasn't what we wanted, particularly. Portions were right size, but I could only give the food a C grade for my $64.

Food OK. Had a party and set up wasn't good. Not enough space for us. Had to pack in close together and 2 sat together at table end.

We went for lunch after doing some Christmas shopping. They have a lunch menu from 11am to 3pm. The food was all good. We tried a couple of soups we hadn't had before. My husband got the egg drop soup, not a big fan, it seemed too oily, he did like it more once he added the wonton strips. I got the wonton soup, it was really good. He ordered the shrimp with garlic sauce, which came with steamed rice, an egg roll, and steamed vegetables. I ordered the General tsos chicken with fried rice, peppers, carrots, and sauce along with an egg roll. Our daughter ordered the udon noodles with chicken minus the vegetables. It ended up being comparable to chicken noodles. She also ordered the strawberry milk tea (without the boba). She loved the drink. One last thing we ordered lol was the Derby roll. It was delicious!! Overall, the food was fantastic. The milk tea was surprisingly good (and only a couple dollars more than ordering a soda). The sushi was perfect! The waiter was very friendly and talkative. They also had a robot that delivered food to tables and took empty plates. I was not successful in getting a video of it, but it seemed pretty cool! We'll probably try again another time to try a rice bowl! Ok, one last thing, they had 2 sauces at the table, sweet and sour sauce and a spicy mustard. The spicy mustard was spiiiiiiiiiiiicy!!! If you like heat, try it (in small portions).

Sometimes rude. Food is decent from time to time. Boba tea is usually over cooked boba… I tried to eat this orange chicken, way to sweet taste like a heart attack and way too watery. Sushi was meh. Overall 2/5 or 1.5 or something idk… honestly surprised they’ve been in business as long as they have. Gordon Ramsey would lose his head. Update, I tried it again after two years and this time I won’t forget how bad it was. 1/5 star on the food for sure. That was foul and I won’t be coming back ever again. My old review was generous, that food was absolutely disgusting ?.
