“The restaurant food is really good. I used to work. I used to work with them. But one day. They decided to stop working with me and they didn’t pay me nothing for 2 years. And they stole $ 6,000 dollars that i pay to them when we open the restaurant. Until now i am still waiting for my money“

“Best Japanese AYCE in Hampton Roads! The staff always do a great job.“

“First time ever going . From walking into the doors to leaving . We had nothing but great customer service . We didn’t make reservations and had a seat for 7 ready in 10 minutes . While they were already busy . Everyone was friendly . Our server was new but wouldn’t know it because she was great . Our chef was AMAZING ! Everyone LOVED him. Food was PREFECT! All of kids had a blast . The shims catching in the mouth game was a big hit . My youngest daughter was glued the whole time and already asking to go back to see fire and the nice food man. Even leaving the host was taking to my 9 month old son. While going to my car to feed to my son one of the workers even offered to let me feed in his office because it’s cold out . I just loved the family vibe . I highly recommend if you are looking for a great place . Also sushi was on point too! Nothing but positive feed back here . Thank you for the workers and their great experience“

“Wow. 🤤 the food was so delicious!!!!!! Fresh off the grill, and still hot by the time I got home. all the ingredients were fresh, high-quality, light and flavorful. Big portions, tender and perfectly cooked protein, fluffy yummy rice. Perfectly cooked lo mein noodles!!!!!!! Omygoshhhh 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤😭 i also wanted to point out that they gave me a lot of veggies! They were hiding in the noodles and under the steak ☺️

I love the care and quality that was so clearly put into preparing this meal. I also liked that, unlike most hibachi places, the food wasn’t greasy or heavy. It had a very healthy but still delicious quality to it! I don’t think I will want to go anywhere else for hibachi from now on. 🥲 and I’ll have to go back soon to try their sushi and appetizers!

There’s something special about a quiet small business that makes simple but incredibly delicious food with care that leaves you feeling warm. And It doesn’t have to be Michelin star or a super extravagant meal to be the best, which I certainly feel it is.

I also really appreciated that the woman at the counter prepared my takeout bag so thoughtfully and even offered to help me to my car, because I was carrying my baby with me. Thank you so much. 🙏“

“Always fast to get the sushi and other food out. Clean and friendly environment.“

“First time trying and it was a great experience. We ate inside and the food was delicious. We tried the Super dragon roll, shrimp tempura roll, Vegas roll, and the chicken teriyaki with broccoli. Lots of take out traffic coming and going. The Staff were polite and quick. Kids loved it and we will definitely come try more.“

“One of the best sushi places. The food was amazing the atmosphere was very welcoming and comforting. Highly recommend for a couples date or a group dinner. Try the Vanilla tempura ice cream, it’s amazing!“

“Their food is so delicious 🤤 🤤🤤🤤“

“This place is great. The potions are huge. The veggies and sauce are fresh and delicious. Very friendly staff. 10 % off for all teachers and first responders.“

“I came to the restaurant around the time they closed for lunch because google said they were open, they were very apologetic and sentimental to the situation. They allowed me to take my food to go and now they are working things out with google lol but the food tastes very good and I got it so quick, great people And great prices will be back soon. On time next though .“

“Food was delicious, and having my meal cooked right in front of me was amazing!“

“I ordered the Spicy Tuna Roll and the Christmas Tree Roll. Both were very good. Fresh and delicious; and presentation was cute. The service was amazing. Attentive, friendly, and accommodating. An overall great experience. Would definitely recommend.“

“Super cute place. Excellent service & amazing food! Highly recommend!“

“Very good tásate, nice service, fast service“

“good food and smoothies period“

“No need to go elsewhere! This is the best around! Just had lunch and got complimentary miso soup, volcano roll and dessert. Couldn't finish my shrimp fried rice - portion was huge! Outstanding service, delicious, fresh food and immaculate restaurant!“

“The food was served very quickly, and it was delicious. They also made us the sushi we asked for, since the one on the menu didn’t have what we wanted.
Our waiter Jim was super nice to us.
The place is also very nice and clean. I recommend this restaurant a hundred percent.“

“The place is clean, a few tables, fountain, can, and bottle drinks available. Sauces, plastic ware, and napkins next to the fountain drinks. Very organized but the napkins are the typical cheap ones, sandpaper like type.
The food comes out pretty quick. Tried the chicken hibachi with rice & veggies and it was a pretty good size and tasted excellent.
The salmon roll was pretty good for a place like this, generous with the salmon for sure.
Prices are definitely fair, a hibachi dinner and a drink for about twelve bucks after tax.
Will definitely try them again.“

“All you can lunch special is 🙌🙌🙌🙌 every time that we eat here my wife and I we typically get the best service out of any restaurant that we've ever been to and the food is top notch and doesn't lose quality with it being all you can eat. The dinner menu is a chef's kiss“

“Whenever I visit VB, I like to stop into Ouka Sora because it is my favorite Ramen shop. It's the only one I've been to that has an easy menu kiosk. The shop is bright and clean, and their service is quick and friendly! The food is always hot and tastes excellent! Ive been visiting for a few years now and I've never had a bad experience. I really hope the owners consider opening another location in Hampton or Newport News. Hint hint! 😉“

“Great food great service Great place“
