Pretty solid place. Good atmosphere and good food. Owner is friendly too. Would go again.

This place is well known for sushi and takeout food. If you haven't tried the eat-in experience, I recommend it. The eat-in feels slightly elevated, though the only negative to it is that it is so small inside and the staff has nowhere to be except for the bar, which can feel a bit like crowding (not their fault, it just is what it is). We specifically came for the duck, which we have had in the past. This time, we got the mango crispy duck, and it was A+, just perfectly cooked and crispy yet tender. We also got spicy dumplings, which was a special. We loved them. In addition, we had the lo mein, which was fair. It seemed a bit oily for my tastes and lacked flavor. The scallion pancakes were fine, but served with a soy based sauce and not a plum sauce, which isn't typical around here. The cheese Rangoon (crab) was ok too. Overall, I can say for certain we will be back for that duck and the sushi (didn't have it this time, but consistently some of the best around). The drinks are also well made.

It's a cute place that makes best of the size it has on the street of a busy intersection. Cute menu with a decent selection of generic American Asian cuisine that would satisfy a wide range of people. The dishes we got were delicious though the portion varied in value.The general chicken was on the menu as a big plate dish. Seeing the dish，it's a big plate but the portion was not at all much, that gave me a chuckle on their wording, it's well played. The chicken was moist,it was fried just right and the flavor was on point however so I'll enjoy it for what it was.The mapo tofu was cooked splendidly although a bit bland, could have used more ma la spice to really kick it up. I hyped it up to my friend who was expecting something much hotter, will need to remember next time.The rice however was in no way worth the price they charged. Especially considering the rest of the dish prices it was a bit costly for what they gave. We needed a second but held off as it wasn't worth it.Service was acceptable, but far from great. The server didn't interact with us except at the beginning, getting our order and then collecting payment. Not once did they stop by to ask how things were or much else besides refilling our water glasses.All in all. It was okay, and okay was palatable, but it's not something I'll go out of my way to visit again, there are others that do the same and more for less.

Waitor was not personable at all. He seemed to not want to be there. The place is small. There was plenty of wait staff. We ordered a variety of sushi and maki, and all of it was excellent.

Very very good food. Quality is superb. Service is also phenomenal. The Chicken Katsu Bento Box during the daily lunch specials time is a fantastic value for the price, given the high quality. Maybe the best chicken katsu I’ve ever eaten.

exquisite establishment, to say the least, I met up with some old friends of mine and had an absolutely great time throwing bricks at passing cars from the outside dining section. I enjoyed the beer and other alcoholic beverages that were served. I recommend blu karma to anyone wanting to have a great time.Vegetarian options: bugsDietary restrictions: bugsParking: small lot to park inKid-friendliness: I locked my child in the car because he tends to throw many tantrums, and I don't have the money to pay for broken objects.Wheelchair accessibility: you must be able to get up about 3 steps so I wouldn't recommend it if you are over 300 pounds

All I remember is the place being a Kentucky Fried Chicken and now I walk in there and it's a completely different chill inviting calming yet hip atmosphere with friendly service that greeted us immediately at the door we were seated within seconds and served very promptly everything we got was absolutely amazing! My husband's first time trying doc we got the mango crusted duck it was incredible! The pineapple fried rice with chicken and shrimp served in a half of a pineapple shell was fresh flavorful and delicious never mind my obsession with raw oysters on the half shell they were wonderful nice and fresh and the chicken teriyaki tempura Maki was also delicious definitely hit the spot definitely will be going back! A tad pricey but well worth it!
Delivery time is always under a half an hour. Super yummy food, not too oily and does not leave you feeling sick as some asian food does. Love it
