“I honestly am more than impressed at the service I received. I thought it'd be a simple in and out with what I wanted. I got way more than that! Their cheesecake was incredible and the dumplings they provided complementary were honestly the best dumplings I've ever had anywhere. It was so enjoyable and I enjoyed the experience so much I couldn't help but tip 2/3rds my order. I want people to know about this place because it deserves the attraction. Incredible experience and food.“

“My favorite place in State College! The food and service are always excellent!I would call this a hidden gem. It's located below ground level, and not easy to find by casually walking by.I gave them a 4 on atmosphere because there seems to be a storage shortage for the restaurant. It's not off-putting for me, but some might not call it "fine dining." I'm ok with that, more food for me!“

“My go-to sushi place! Their prices are the lowest in the area (lunch deals are great) and always good quality. Can’t say much about the hibachi entrees because I always get sushi but I’ve been going here since it opened and have never had a bad experience with service nor food. 10/10 “

“my wife and i went here for dinner one night on a whim. we knew very little about it. we are 100%glad that we did. the restaurant itself was very clean and orderly. not too many people inside even though it was st. pattys weekend in town. wife had the build your own bowl and an egg custard appetizer. i had the hawaiian chicken bowl and a crab spring roll. her bowl came with her choice of 4 different kinds of rice, she went with white rice. it was warm in the bowl which is fantastic since all the other ingredients are refrigerated and very fresh. mango sauce on top which was delicious. she had a bubble tea to drink dont remember what flavor but she enjoyed it. i dont think she even offered me a drink of it. my bowl had, chicken, mango, jalapenos, pineapple, lima beans, white rice. no sauce on mine which was perfectly fine. i ordered the crab spring roll which came with a ginger sesame dipping sauce that is also available on the counter for you to use, which i ended up doing because it was delicious. my one and only issue with anything was that the spring roll came with lettuce in it. its in there because it adds a crunch to the roll and is good in it but i could have just left it out and put more crab in it. hahahahaha if i have to give this place a ding on something which isnt a terrible thing anyway is all the white LED string lights in the restaurant. i personally just dont like them. but it does add a presence in the restaurant. so i give this place a 9.95 out of 10. portions are big. atmosphere is comforting. service is top notch and the food is absolutely authentic and fantastic. eat here often.“

“Delicious and packed full of flavor. We had a mix of things off the menu including both bowls, soup based bowls and sushi. All were very good and very flavorful. The sushi took a little longer to come out but very tasty. The portions were huge and the service overall was decent. The music was a bit loud and the restaurant is smaller so it's a bit harder to hear those in your party. The prices were fair considering the size of the portions.“
