This placed cooked all day Friday of Helene while hundreds of us were stranded. Hours upon hours of non stop service helping those in need with a great meal. This kindness should not go unnoticed and hope they can continue to do great things in the future. THANK HOU

Great family it’s been a bit since I been since I don’t work out that way. Even owner remember me . Said were you been. But that day was a good day they had my spider rolls which are my favorite. Food always good service is on point it a small hole in the wall place that serves amazing food and for a good price. It give those fancy places a run for it’s money. For the amount of of food I get there compared to fancy place I be paying way less for the same quality if not better.

We chose this place for lunch for our office team. The menu was versatile and the pickup was pretty easy. The team gave us PLENTY of utensils and lots of soy sauce. The food tasted good and the portion size was very generous. If you are trying to find this place, it’s over by the subway and Asian market in Fletcher. They do have tables inside if you want to eat there. Habachi is also good there, but be sure to check your items before rolling out as we have sometimes had trouble not getting exactly what we thought, but it may have been our fault. Overall good place for sure! It also had a 97.5 health rating as well which is always comforting.

The food is always very good here. The eggrolls are the best I've ever had period. Quick service and consistently quality food. Best for takeout really no atmosphere here but who cares.

Not much to look at but outstanding Japanese food at awesome prices. Really great Ramen too. They also made my sushi to order. Terrific food and service.

This is a very simple and small restaurant. Not for a marriage anniversary celebration or something similar, but the food is great. We tried many sauces and dishes and all of them were equally good. Ask the roll, the teriyaki or the hibachi. They are all great. Totally worth the price paid.

I’ve been wanting to try this little place for a while now and I’m so glad I did! I love sushi so I tried some from here and it was delicious. I’m excited to know now that I have an awesome sushi spot on my side of town. Definitely seems like a “to-go” type of restaurant but that was perfect for me because I needed to grab something quick on the way home. Check this place out if you haven’t yet
