- portionsGood sized portions to fill you up
- teriyakithe teriyaki place and but it taste good though
- saladI really like the texture of the shredded cabbage, and the fact that it’s lightly covered in a very light vinegar dressing. It still had a tasty poppyseed dressing on the side, but I barely used it because it had great crunch and flavor as-is. It paired really nicely with the rest of the meal!
- Yakisobahighly recommend trying the Yakisoba
- sauceMy experience at this restaurant was that of a no-frills, solid teriyaki joint. The chicken was tasty and came with plenty of sauce. The salad was also good.
- chickenThe chicken was tasty
- food qualityfood is always consistent quality
- gyozaI really appreciate their traditional shredded cabbage with vinegar salad. The teriyaki, gyoza, and katsu were all great. I often call in orders to bring home.
- ricerice was great
Frequently criticized
- foodAdditionally, requesting sauces or extras often results in not receiving them or facing an attitude from the owner herself. I question why I would pay for mediocre Asian food when better quality and cheaper options are available nearby.

Disappointing Beef Teriyaki Portion
With all due respect, I came in and ordered a beef teriyaki plate. I paid almost $18 for it and only received five pieces of beef, spread across the rice like it was a decent order. This is ridiculous.

Juicy Beef Teriyaki & Generous Portions
My experience at this restaurant was great! The Beef teriyaki was a standout, featuring thick nuggets of juicy goodness. They even offer spicy versions if you're feeling adventurous.
The portions were good-sized and definitely filling. The Yakisoba filled the takeout container completely. A nice surprise was receiving hot sauce without asking, which was a definite bonus.
The place stays busy, so it's advisable to order ahead for pickup.

Small portions, decent taste
My experience at this restaurant was marked by the smallest portions I've ever encountered for the price. While the food tasted fine for what it is, the portion size was a significant drawback, especially when compared to nearby options like Panda Express. The atmosphere and service also received low ratings.
