Let's talk ramen. I figured a Japanese place could do it justice. I was wrong. Now first off, it is not bad ramen, but it is not even close to authentic! Where is the egg? Where are the chili's? Broth was nice and white, and the pork was nice and tender, but the ramen has ZERO kick. No flavor at all!! Very bland. Very disappointing. To anyone who does not know what authentic ramen should taste like it is a decent soup with noodle. But to those of us who seek out a good ramen, stay away. It just is not good. No authenticity, very bland and devoid of any of the flavors that make it ramen. It's too

Used to love eating here but recently had a horrible experience that has forever left a sour taste in my mouth. We asked for a 2 specific items and they only got us one and it was the completely wrong item with an ingredient we specifically asked to not be in the food. Never coming again.

Read owners response to all the one & two stars reviews. SO unprofessional and RUDE. All five of us were shocked how horrid the tempura
crab & shrimp sushi was! Over fried, nasty old grease with
ZERO crab..just fried, burnt shell. All other rolls were poor quality sushi! This restaurant was much better a few years ago. Defensive
owner! All of us agreed, we won’t be back.

Owner is a A** hole, place has gotten me sick like 3 times only reason I went back was cause it used to be good a few years ago but I'm pretty sure they use rotten food in their rolls now. Nagoya sushi is down the street and way better quality for half the price never eatting here again

We decided to give this place one more try. Even WORSE! Like others have noticed, horrible quality and very mean, upset, non-apologetic owner! Very RUDE. Literally the worst sushi.

Food was good, menu was generous with lots of options, staff was friendly and efficient. Its all good but the music was too loud. It made conversation difficult and other's conversations louder. If it was a night club it was quiet but it was lunch.
Still, I would try it again.

Very poor quality, not fresh food! Eat at your own risk...ended up getting food poisoning. Everything tasted like it came out of a freezer & couldn't even pick up the sushi rolls without everything completely falling out.

Don't order any sushi that is "tempura"! Burnt, old grease with 80% batter and 20% protein! Tastes is horrible! Of course waiter is defensive saying it's soft shell crab! Yes, we know what it's suppose to be, but couldn't even eat it! Poor quality sushi to say the least and turn on your A/C so customers aren't eating their sushi in gross, warm, non-circulating air. This restaurant has changed!

READ how many ONE star reviews. This place has CHANGED! NASTY tasting sushi! Tempura Soft shell crab is over fried with mostly nasty batter, no shrimp! All sushi here is BAD now. Very, very poor quality! Turn on your A/C, it's too stuffy and hot inside. Trying to cut corners anyway you can. Use to be a B+ restaurant now a solid F. Done! We won't be back.

My #1 go-to place for meeting up with friends. Pleasant atmosphere, cozy space, tall booth dividers that comply with Covid-19 regulations. Their sushi is huge (get the shrimp tempura! Blows my mind) and the perfect size to share; two rolls and me and my companion are always stuffed!! Great miso soup, large menu without the drawback of some stuff falling through the cracks. Love this place to death.

I require a service dog certified by my a medical doctor/an certified through training, in addition to a service dog vest, tag, an pouch.
He is a 9 pound dog.
When we sat down the server said they don't allow dogs, I said as you can see he is a service dog. The server then said, you don't look like you have physical or mental problem. My sister then said, will sit outside, the server said, we couldn't even sit outside. I showed him the tag. He said he needed to see a doctor's note, I actually do have documentation as I was trying to find my documentation, the owner came up an

Loved this place when I lived close, years ago.

Went tonight, food was decent. Nothing impressive. I am now hanging out with the toilet all night. It's the only thing I've eaten today so I know this restaurant made me sick. Not happy

Shrimp fried rice..price was good $12, takeout service good. Tiny shrimp about the size of your thumbnail that was tough and overcooked. Not much veggies, not the worst ive had but close. Should have gotten a roll

I've been to this place several times now & I love it. It's small, and doesn't look like anything over the top but the food is amazing.

I've eat their Yakisoba noodles (which I'm general I'm not a fan of), had a bento box (meat, fried zucchini, crab/California rolls, salad), calamari, and eat their fried rice regularly. The food always tastes so fresh! It has great flavor, it's fresh, and always looks picture ready.

I've picked up to go and eaten there and the service is always excellent. I'm so glad this spot opened,

This is one of my favorite sushi restaurants in Az. I eat here every week and I'm never disappointed with the quality and the portions are huge compared to a lot of other places.

I live close to here and it’s hands down my go-to sushi joint. The food is amazing, I’ve never had anything I didn’t like! The bento boxes during lunch special are my favorite. The staff are always extremely inviting and caring.

I do enjoy trying new places but this place felt short. It's not that great. The ramen taste like dish soap and the sushi is warm. Totally wouldn't come back

We like to try hole in the wall places and to support local restaurants. Overall, the place was ok, not great.

We seated ourselves and waited a few minutes but no one came. I grabbed a menu so we could start thinking about what we wanted. When the waiter came, he wasn't happy about us grabbing a menu. Service was bleh and food was ok (you can get much better quality elsewhere at more affordable prices).

I'd recommend checking out other places for quality of food and service.

Went here for lunch with my family the other day and we were pleasantly surprised! Food was steaming hot and absolutely delicious! I'm almost embarrassed to say that I had never had real ramen until I tried it here, but, oh my gosh- SO AMAZING! I'm totally hooked! I don't know how we've waited so long to try this place! Each of our three kids found something they loved as well!

If you haven't tried this place yet, DO IT NOW!

Nice food and simple, clean atmosphere. Not too much seating space so we encounter a bit of a waiting time at dinner time. Food always delicious

After getting our shots my daughter and I decided to try this spot out as she was craving for some katsu curry and I was just...well, hungry. This place has some pretty awesome Happy Hour deals. Their Cannon Ball appetizer, came out deliciously hot and fresh. The accompanying sauces were fantastic. The gyoza, again delicious and fresh. The katsu curry smelled fantastic. Daughter said it was really tasty her only issue was that there were no potatoes and there was a lot of onion which she's not used to in her curries. I had the avocado roll and shrimp tempura roll. They were tasty but not rolled

We were here on a Sunday afternoon craving for Ramen. Ordered Vegan Ramen and Veg fried rolls. The staff was very polite and helpful. We asked for soup spoons but they didn't have it for COVID reasons, so we had to stick to plastic spoons. The staff came to our table and explained why they didn't have soup spoons. It was a great customer focused gesture.
The food was adequate and tasted good!

Overall, definitely recommend this place!

I drove about 35 minutes each way to pick up food from here. I was like, omg this better be good

It was.

I purchased 2 orders of calamari. It was perfectly cooked and tasted amazing even after my drive home. The batter is thin and crisp.

The golden avocado- I have been in search of this for ages. Not many places make it. It's avocado, crab mix and spicy tuna, deep fried. It was perfect. The batter was thin and crisp, and it was exactly what I wanted.

Superman Burrito- it's a thick roll stuffed with avocado, tuna & salmon with a spicy dipping sauce. The ratio of fish to rice

We love this small, neighborhood sushi joint has it’s hits and misses. We didn’t care for the baked Volcano roll. It reminded me of salmon jerky. (No thanks) ...but the salmon mango roll was fun! Tasty & bright with a little sweetness. We stayed long enough for the weekend happy hour to start at 8:30. I was surprised at how many rolls they offered for $5.5. The tempura salmon was great!
