Get here before 2:30 pm for the Lunch specials. Same meals just less cost and a bit smaller portion which is still filling. Otherwise prices go up a lot.

My date and I went to this restaurant, and I’ve been here before years ago and had no issues. But tonight………we waited 20 minutes for a table when there was plenty available. Finally got seated, and the waitress had an unpleasant disposition. Gave us drinks, and my girlfriend’s water had some type of trash in it. Needless to say, we waited for another 15 minutes to give our order, but the waitress never came to take it. We left, and if this is how customers are treated at this establishment, we surely don’t plan on going back.

The cooked food is very good. It’s surprisingly very fresh and homemade-esque. The sushi seemed to take a while even though there was a lot of wait staff because it appeared there were only two people making food. My husband and I love sushi. About 2/3rd of the menu is sushi, but we didn’t like the sushi or my usual favorite - shrimp tempura. The egg rolls are huge. The rice extremely generous portions. We have a whole other meal for two as leftovers.The service was great. All of the staff was.They have robots delivering food and there are 2 or 3 gliding around with cute animated faces.The place was busy and everyone was enjoying their food.The ambiance is as in their photos.I’m attaching pics of the food. Sorry we ate some first!

This is hands down the best American Asian fusion restaurant I have ever been to. I recently moved to DC where there is a high Korean and Chinese population and I tell you that nothing compares to this restaurant. I will make the 4 hour drive on a weekend!

Ambience is great -- the right music and volume level, decor, vibe from staff and Wally the robot who escorts guests to their tables. Menu is assertively multi-regional spanning much of China and JapanBe ready for homemade and authentic! Service with efficiency, smiles and professionalism delivers meticulously crafted food. The nigiri rice and fish ratios and temperatures were PERFECT. Great service by Tiffany and back of the house!

Christmas Eve the kitchen was very slow. Our order for 5 people came out from 45 minutes to 65 minutes from the time we ordered. Some were finished eating before others received their food. This was after we waited 30 minutes to order.

Poor customer service over a free cup of ice. After spending $60 including tips, I was reprimanded for getting a free cup of ice for a loyal customer.

The food was great. I had the shrimp pancit, bbq steam buns, and lemonade. The drink was forgettable. But the food was great. I love every bite. Plus, the little robot server was a nice touch. Definitely worth a visit.

Staff was very friendly and the service was outstanding. Only thing I can say negative is there was to much sauce on the entre for me. But others may love that. Over all very pleased and will go back.
