My husband went in here today for a lunch meeting and came back and was telling me and our son all about how he enjoyed it So we had to try it for dinner as a family. We absolutely loved it, and we are so stuffed. The food portions are very big, and the food and the atmosphere is awesome. We will definitely be going back. If you have not been you definitely should give it a try from the outside the looks are very deceiving very nice place inside

This is definitely a... do not judge a book by its cover situation. We live about an hour away from the Longview area but we were in town for doctor visits and we wanted some sushi. Looked up online best places for sushi and this place popped up on Google. We got there and the outside definitely does not look as nice as the inside. We almost went somewhere else because we thought it wouldn't be good, but wow I am so glad we didnt!! The service and food was amazing!!! Everything was so delicious and fresh! We will most definitely be coming back when we visit Longview area again!

My husband and I had dinner here for the first time and were pleasantly surprised! The quality of the food, service, and atmosphere was far better than the outside of the modest building would suggest. We ordered calamari for the appetizer, the spicy chicken fried rice bowl and bulgogi box for our entrees, and the white tuna special roll to try the sushi. Everything was done incredibly well. The dumplings and soups we received with our meals were unbelievably good, and a great start to our meals. We will definitely be returning.

A coworker recommended this place and boy I’m glad they did. The food was amazing all of it. We ordered ours to go from Aaron. We told him it was our first visit and he educated us on the menu, their specials and he gave us a some of their sauces that didn’t come with our order to try. Wifey got the Beef Bento Box and I got the Spicy Chicken Bento Box. I also got their Beef Ramen Soup. You can tell they take care when preparing the dishes. We will return.

I ordered some sushi and it was absolutely divine. Despite there appearing to be little food on the plate, the actual contents of the food were very filling and didn't leave me hungry. The flavors all came together in a beautiful cacophony of pleasure. My friends ordered some fried rice and bulgogi. These two dishes were HUGE and let them with some very appreciated leftovers. Will be going again.

Had the spicy pineapple chicken, it wasn't as spicy as I would have liked, but it was still delicious. My daughter talked me into trying sushi and it's still not my cup of tea. The waitress was attentive and fast. Had a great dinner and would definitely recommend this restaurant!

The food was great. The waitress was definitely not expecting to have so many large tables for that day. She did good at keeping up. Happy we finally tried this place.
