Have always loved the food. Great portions and prices are very reasonable. When server brought our food, I asked for extra napkins. Never saw her again until we were leaving. My husband had to get up and get takeout boxes for leftovers. Needless to say, she didn't get a tip and we are always 20% or better tippers.

Mindy was our waitress and she was excellent. She was very polite and on time. Food was great considering the price point. Almost had a Korean style bbq glaze to the meat and seafood. The sushi bar was phenomenal. Excellent selection of fried rolls/traditional rolls. Clean facility.

Easily one of the best places to eat in Wilkes County. The sushi is wonderful and fairly priced. I'm also a big fan of the hibachi chicken.

The service sucks. Don't expect refills from your server. Once they slap that check on the table, their gone. Had to get my own togo box. I asked for lemon in my water. Terrible listening skills from the wait staff. HOWEVER, Food is amazing! Atmosphere is tolerable and nice. Very reasonably priced! I would only come back for the food. Do better servers!

Some people will tell you otherwise, however I’ve never had a bad experience at this restaurant. I get the hibachi steak well done and usually either crab rangoons or a spring roll or two. I ate there last night and the food was great, service was great as well. Don’t get me wrong there are way better choices out there for Japanese food, but that being said for around the area this place is pretty dang good.
