We had a party of 10, our family met there for an early dinner/late lunch about 3pm. The restaurant was empty except one person at the bar. The hostess was a nice older lady and looked surprised when we said we had a party of 10. Half of our family wasn’t there yet and instead of seating us (remember not prime time- empty restaurant) she made us wait until they got there. Ok so not a big deal, and a lot of places do it but worth mentioning. Server was great, friendly, and prompt. Although food runners brought all the food and he didn’t ever at any point clear appetizer plates or empty drink glasses. The food was really good. Not amazing “best food I ever had” meal but it was good. So now we are on to the main reason I’m giving a less than favorable review. During our meal 4 people went to the restroom. Not that odd, considering it’s a restaurant. However, while they were in the bathroom the hostess woman went in there! Like all the way in the bathroom. In the men’s room, my bf was in the stall and he said she came all the way into the bathroom- no knock- no announcement- like, “hey I’m cleaning, is it all clear”? Literally she just walks in and starts messing. My sister in law was in the stall in the women's room and the same lady walked in and pushed open the stall door while she was using the toilet. Absolutely rude and uncalled for. My 15 year old was in the restroom and the same woman went in there while she was in there. Let’s also track back to the fact - the place was mostly empty. It’s not like the bathroom was being used by full restaurant and needed paper towels checked. There was no reason for this behavior. Why not just knock and let people exit before cleaning or being in there. Overall, good food. Basic Asian food- nothing special- but tasty and fairly priced for large portions. The music choice didn’t match the ambiance, but not a deal breaker. Side note- I think it’s tacky to sell cheap/fake jewelry at the front entrance. It’s out of place and doesn’t make sense in a restaurant.

We love this place! Bogo sushi rolls, hibachi, delicious range of entrees, appetizers, and soups. List of assorted tea's (theres an organic option ?), house crafted cocktails, such as the goldfish bowl sized tropical concoctions, we had to try, but I can't remember what they call it lol wonder why. Imported, local, and some generic commercial brands for beer and wine. The local ginger beer I had last time was worth mentioning and recommending, for sure! Parking and inside the restaurant are pretty spaceous(maybe good for large gatherings). The interior design details are asthetically pleasing but not too distracting. I haven't done my research on this part, but since they're located next to a local farmers market, I'd like to think they have access to some of the freshest ingredients as well. All of the food and drinks we've had here have been absolutely fantastic, my compliments to the mixologists and chefs ?

Sushi for the masses! Tasty, and not so expensive with the BOGO deal.

I ate here years ago and it was fine. I'd love to leave more stars but no food was edible. I eat sushi all over the state while traveling for work multiple times a week and this was one of the rare times I couldn't eat it. I took it to go so as not to cause the server anxiety. It was simply salmon nigiri and I ate two just in case I was imagining that it was REVOLTING.My friend ordered a sesame chicken, or one of those sugared chicken dishes. I tasted it when he refused to eat it - it tasted like microwaved gross rubber chicken that had been slathered in a flavorless sugar glaze.It's not edible. I don't know what happened but nothing was edible. Which is kinda bare minimum for me.

Used to be a great place when they had the BOGO. Now they raised their prices and have no BOGO on the better rolls.
