“Our favorite place to eat.... Moved over 2 hours away from Memphis but when we are in town close to 5 PM we make it a point to eat here. This has always been our 'go to' place for special occasions.“

“Everything I’ve tried here is good and I’ve tried most of the menu. Their yellow curry is one of my all time comfort foods. Their sushi and hibachi are also really good. Their service is great. The staff is young but the staff that have been there a while are awesome and really take care of you. I’ve moved away and I still crave this place.“

“Food and service is always excellent. Kelly is my usual waitress and knows our orders by heart. We may go there a little too much but it's so good it's hard not to lol“

“Delicious food! Great server!“

“The most amazing sushi in Memphis area. So lucky to have found a fresh sushi place. Everything we have had was wonderful. Wonderful owners.“

“food was very good, will be back“

“Sumo has some of the best sushi that I have tasted! Not to mention the hibachi is amazing! Fast friendly service and you can also order online. Give them a try!“

“Ordered take out last night! The food is amazing the portion size was crazy good! We will have leftovers for days!! Thank you so much Lynn!!“

“So honestly we enjoy Sekisui Midtown. Only our second time going. First time had 4 amazing roles between the two of us. Tonight we went and wanted to try something different than our first time. And while we did not care for one of the roles, which happens, I was disappointed in a specific order for the Alaskan role. The menu calls for blue crab, and what we got was a karb stick. Now I don’t mind paying for a karb stick but I don’t like being given karb when blue crab is on the menu. I asked the waitress when she came over what was in the role and she correctly pointed out that it was a karb stick. I informed her that was not what then menu calls for. She offered to discount that role. When the check arrived she took 20% off that individual role. So we paid $9 for a karb stick. This is a swindle. If I hadn’t asked they would have passed off blue crab at karb prices. They should have simple come and said we are out of blue crab but can substitute it for XXX would you still like that. We will give them another try, but I will be more careful when the food is delivered to make sure we are getting what we ordered. Suggest you do the same.“

“Regarding the food, some are very delicious but other times it lacks a little more flavor, with respect to the service it is more or less since it is very difficult to communicate with the people who serve and with respect to the atmosphere I think it would be more pleasant if the tables and chairs were organized and not accumulated on one side.“

“Food and service is always excellent. Kelly is my usual waitress and knows our orders by heart. We may go there a little too much but it's so good it's hard not to lol“

“I wish I had more opportunities to visit Ryu. Very happy to see it reopen.“

“The BEST in town! Sushi Jimmi is a master and he never disappoints. Always fresh, always amazing. Thanks Jimmi!“

“Man, people are sleeping on this place. The food is outstanding!! Been here plenty of times and never had a bad meal. Sushi is superb!! If you haven't been here, you're definitely missing out on some great food!!! Friendly staff as well!! Highly recommend this place to the locals and tourists!!!“

“There was a disruption with the terminal at the register and the servers were so nice! They apologized a lot and gave another dish as a sorry for their mistake. I wasn’t originally very offended, as this happens a lot, but it touched me to see how much they tried to fix their mistake. Love this place! Always have adored the food!“

“The plain facade on the front of the building holds a delicious surprise when you walk into the door. As you walk closer to the cash register the Amazing aromas come from the very talented cooks. Freshly cooked ingredients are made to order with care and time. The food had a delicate balance of flavors which can be tasted by taste buds. The prices are reasonable. Sorry people, I didn't take pictures.“

“Kirby location: They BURNT my rice :( Usually the rice is great. But this time I literally smelled burnt food when I walked in and my rice tasted like the bottom of the skillet and had black specks on it. If I wasn’t starving, I woulda took it back in for a remake…very disappointed. Im a regular customer. I probably go once or twice a month now. I gave em 4 stars because the food is usually on point. I feel like they keep pans of premade rice and meat then heat it up soon as they get an order. I like Sake Vs Tekila much better. I will give them another try tho.“

“This is absolutely one of my favorite restaurants. I love hibachi. However, all hibachi restaurants don’t deliver the quality that I am seeking. The seasoning of the food at A-Tan is always perfect. No extra seasonings are needed. I don’t have to drench my food with sauces either because the taste is always good.“

“I really was craving seafood boil! I had no clue that Tokyo grill on Summer had them! 10/10 very delicious one pound of shrimp comes with broccoli, 1 egg, potato and corn. I ask for the corn to be replaced for a potato and let me tell you once I got home I really enjoyed it the flavor was on point. 👌🏻“

“Tokyo GriLL has some of the Best Rice 🍚 I have tasted. I have been to a lot of Chinese Rice spots in my city 🌆 and this one☝🏽takes the points. Rice 🍚 so good and hot with steam everytime. Chinese Rice 🍚 off the ChizzLe(good)! Even the veggie 🥦 fried rice is good. Food very affordable. I promise that you won’t regret eating 🥣 here for Lunch or Dinner 🍽️ !!!“
