All the food was fresh and clean, and the noodles were perfect for my taste. The place was clean and spacious, and the store owners and servers were very friendly. I will go again.
First time going, and I loved it! Really good sushi and service. I will now switch from my regular sushi place to this one. Thank you for all you do! Follow up still going here because the food and service is always good!!
Lately I've been trying to figure out what my favorite food is and I think I've settled on ramen. It was reaffirmed back in December when I had their tonkotsu ramen. Delicious!
If I could give more stars I would. This one is special. Their food makes me dance, service makes me smile and if I could live there I would. Must try... special shout out to cucumber salad, teriyaki chicken, garlic fried rice, aloha roll!!! Spicy Korean ramen!
This is a casual japanese eatery with delicious food and friendly staff. The menu has good variety but isn't overwhelming. I got takeout and had the Teriyaki Chicken, which came with rice and salad, and a few of the sushi rolls. Everything tasted fresh. The restaurant itself is relatively small but tidy. I'm looking forward to going back!
I did an online pickup order as this restaurant is nearby my work. Right next to Starbucks. I ordered a Thai Chicken Plate and a Crunch Roll. As I walked in, the gentleman behind the counter greeted me with a smile as he helped me get my order. The food was delicious! I will definitely go back to try other rolls!
Everything so far has been absolutely delicious and perfect. Amazing customer service and great dining atmosphere, I feel like I found the post city of Atlantis hidden here in Carmichael! Please check them out and support them you will not regret it. Also their house salad dressing is absolutely delicious
I’ve tried a lot of their food and it’s all great! My go to sushi place! Great service, great food 🤩 spicy gyoza, Carmichael and tempura roll and the Thai chicken! 10/10
Even better than I anticipated! Veggie packed meals with unique flavor. Will definitely be coming back. Plenty of options to eat and drink for even those that may have restrictions.
A MUST VISIT! The service was delightful, so nice, helpful and just generally pleasant. The food was being delicious! All types of Japanese cuisine so there is something for everyone. Kid friendly as well! The portions are very satisfying, one roll, hand roll, and a small cup of miso was plenty for me, the big kiddo was in line with his dragon roll (pictured) and the beautiful food art on it, as well as a chicken noodle plate. The littlest had maybe half of the kids ramen and plenty of edamame. Really, very pleased with the food quality and the service. We will definitely be going back!
