This place is very chill, and the food was excellent. We had big portions, and everything was really fresh. The decor is also pretty! Definitely a good poke place in Roanoke!
I really wanted to eat here. I went to wash my hands and while leaving the restroom , I peeped thru the kitchen window and saw the cook throw chicken on the grill with his bare hands, then proceed to wipe his hands on his pants. No thank you.

I come here all the time and I love this place! Both their poke bowls and ramen are good. I do wish they had sodas as a drink option but apart from that everything else is great!
This is a nice place in the Cave Spring area a true jewel. The ramen is delicious and well prepared and I have never had to be on the waiting list to get a table!

Great food and terrific atmosphere. The store seats a surprising amount of people and service is always quick.
I have mixed thoughts on this place. First off, the food is not bad, but the portions are rather small. Today, I ordered two different burritos, one with tuna and one with salmon. They were pretty good it's just that they were the size of a regular Maki roll. I guess I was expecting something bigger. The price was reasonable for what you get. But when you are expecting a" burrito" that will fill you up and you get a regular Maki roll, it's a bit disappointing. I guess I should have expected this when I got their bowls before, and it was not filling.

Great find- our new favorite basic sushi lunch spot! Also great chicken teriyaki option. Create your own bowls or sushi wraps with fresh ingredients. Delicious

Food options were really delicious. It is setup like a subway for Asian cuisine. I love the portion size, for the price point. I really love the freshness of all the food.

Ordered takeout from their website on a Saturday evening. Their site was relatively easy to order from thru the phone and the food came out accurately. When I went to pick up the food it was ready by the estimated time. There weren't any customers inside but I could see a few waiting takeout orders. The girl at the register was friendly and efficient at finding which one was mine.We ordered a sushi burrito, ramen, miso soup, a side poke salmon and 2 drinks. Note that if you choose the matcha milk tea that's a single item and not choose the matcha flavor under the bubble tea that is actually a bottled drink.For packaging the soup was separated from the noodles which is great so the noodles wouldn't get soggy while waiting. The only downside here was the side poke got bagged with the soups and not the sushi burrito so it didn't stay cold.All the food came out fresh and delicious. The soft boiled eggs for the ramen weren't overcooked and actually had soft yolks. (I don't have pictures of the ramen since l because my husband was hungry and ate it quickly, haha.) He ordered the spicy tonkotsu, it had good flavor, not overwhelming spice and the chashu pork was chopped well and delicious.I ordered the chef's special sushi burrito, salmon tasted fresh as well as the fillings. If you've never had seaweed salad it's kind of chewy which can be a little harder to bite through in a burrito form. This came with a spicy aioli type dipping sauce and a sesame ginger sauce. Both sauces add nice layers to the flavor and there was more than enough of both to last the whole burrito. The only thing I was a little disappointed in was that one of the fillings was tempura crunch and there were only a few small pieces and not crunchy through the whole burrito. The size was also a little small for the price but the salmon filled end to end. Miso soups were as expected and did not disappoint. The side poke salmon also tasted fresh, this is actually a decent portion for the cost and the sauce it's marinated in was a nice compliment. I would easily go back and order just the poke side as a snack.The bubble drink I got was Thai tea flavored. It was good but didn't quite taste the same as Thai tea I've gotten from Thai restaurants. The boba seemed softer than other boba I've had before.I live less than 10 min away and I'd definitely come back again since there's still very few ramen and definitely poke bowl options in Roanoke. Coming from California where there's plenty of ramen and sushi available this was a good match in flavor and freshness.

The food is amazing! I love the variety of build your own bowl. So much yummy stuff. I always ending up spending more on extra toppings haha And now they do Ramen too! Highly recommend to everyone even if you don't eat raw fish, they have plenty of other options
