Mirakuya Japanese Restaurant

Used to be the best. But hardly anymore. Service has been terrible. Servers are just incredibly lackadaisical. Everything right down to the packaging is cheap and flimsy. Like a janky sketchy street cart quality. We got take out and they put the saucy hibachi in a non-sealable cheap clamshell that leaked everywhere. And I paid nearly $20 for 6 tiny bites of this roll. I don’t mind paying for good sushi but the portions and quality for that cost just don’t align. Every time we come here we say it will be the last. I will drive out of my way now to get a different hibachi and sushi place. We’re done!

Used to be better when they were smaller. Sushi isn't as good. Service was real slow. Because of the Hibachi and not proper vents I had to have my Canada Goose jacket that I just got from the dry cleaners taken back to the Dry Cleaners. Miss the old smaller place. That was the best sushi in the Wyoming Valley area!

We called at 4pm to see if we needed a reservation or check on the wait time. They said if we were close, they could get us in since there was only 3. When we got there, they turned us away because “we no room”. We asked about sitting at just a table and were told “we no room”. My wife asked about the empty booth in the back since our 7 yr old was hungry and they said “we no room”. So you are refusing to serve us but won’t say why and said no to letting a child eat?! Then we were told, “show me you called.” My wife said “wait, we are paying you to eat here, why do WE have to prove anything?!” “Sorry, we no room!”. We’ve been here 2 to 4 times a month and now we will NEVER come back. There are plenty of other Hibachi restaurants around that will gladly serve us and accept our money. We no room” to be treated like this.

Food is delicious and fresh! Service is great too! I have only one issue to address. I was there on Sunday evening. My sushi was delicious and very fresh! I loved it! BUT with almost each piece I ate, it almost immediately FELL APART. The sushi chefs MUST do a better job when rolling and packing the rolls because this was very frustrating and takes away from the overall dining and tasting experience. Please address this issue! I will be back soon.

We decided to stop in before a WBS Penguins game and also my birthday. We sat at the bar area and were quickly served by Katlynn. She was pleasant and paid great attention to detail. She noticed as we "cheers" my birthday with our first drink and then offered to make me a proper Mai Tai for my birthday. I'm glad I accepted as it was properly made (not sweet which is a winner for me), and visually appealing right down to the fresh pineapple and orange garnish. When she presented our bill, she tested the pen first to make sure it was working..(attention to detail, right?..we all hate when the pen doesn't work..) The rolls we had were fresh and very flavorful and well prepared. We got there about 4pm (as the Pens game was 6:05) and got a nice seat at the bar area. The place filled up quickly soon after...good timing for us. Definitely a great experience..will return. Thank you Katlynn!!

I loved it ... so did the family. Peaceful atmosphere, delicious food

We stopped for a quick weekday lunch, and wow, were we impressed. The decor was exceptional, the service was top-notch, and the manager, Steve, went out of his way to make us feel comfortable. We both ordered the hibachi combination lunch, with steak and shrimp, and the food was excellent. Make sure you take advantage of the half fried rice/half noodle option, which really steps the meal up another notch. We didn’t try sushi to stop, but from the looks of it, I am sure it’s excellent. Once again, we had a first class experience at an exceptionally restaurant. This is a must stop location in the Wyoming Valley.

This restaurant Very nice good atmosphere. We experience the hibachi style they cook in front of you. The price is good, I will say that food was very high in sodium, very simple plain rice just soy sauce and 1 egg for 3 plates of rice, I order a margarita by the way it very sweet.

Love the new building. Never even knew they moved. Staff was great. Kat was on top of service for all 6 of us. Food came out fast n hot and everything was delicious. Very enjoyable dinner experience!

our chef was amazing and the food was great. id come back just for the chef. food sent me into a food coma. chef was interactive and entertaining

We went in for hibachi after a long day of boarding, and it certainly didn't disappoint. Honestly, as far as the food goes, this was top tier hibachi. Good flavor, meat perfectly cooked medium rare as I requested, and the portions were generous. The only negative was the wait time - we had to wait about 30minutes to be seated and then another 15mins for the chef to come out.

We have eaten here many, many times but on our recent visit, it seems to have gone downhill a bit. My husband and I had reservations for a Saturday night at a hibachi table and we were seated immediately. Our server came over to take our drink order and I also put in an appetizer (calamari). The calamari was very good as was the sauce they serve with it. As far as the soup and salad they serve with the hibachi, the ginger salad dressing tasted extremely watered down and the soup lacked flavor. Our hibachi chef was entertaining, but seemed off of his game or was maybe just exhausted after a long day. No biggie/understandable and we still gave him a good tip. We waited a long time for drink refills and the only time our server seemed attentive was when we were getting ready to leave. Unfortunately, this was just a disappointing visit.

Since high school, this has been and still is my all time favorite sushi restaurant for sushi rolls. Over that time I have tried a lot of their rolls. My favorites are the crazy dragon and sweet devil roll. Mango crab, out of control, monster, and fusion roll are also top tier. I also sometimes get the chirashi - the fish always tastes fresh and delicious. I have moved away now but my family is still here and I make sure I eat here every time I visit! Love this place!

love love love everything about this restaurant. I'm a huge fan of asian food in general, the avacado roll sushi & vegetable hibachi/lo mein is always good. miso soup is also my fav part of japanese food. staff is so friendly & environment is so comfortable

Delicious I love the shrimp tempura and the bubble tea, service was quick fast and easy. The place was nice pretty lively nice music servers walking around generally bustling my type of environment.

I came here on Black Friday with my boyfriend. The place was packed but it was a short wait to be seated. Ordering food was a little wait as well. The food was good overall, but saltier than what I'm used to. The soft shell crab batter was a bit thick. The soup was different, a soy sauce based soup that tasted similar to a French onion soup. The salad had a sweet mayo-ish light ginger dressing. My udon was unevenly seasoned. Some parts were salty while other parts were not. The spicy squid was not spicy. It has a spicy flavor that was salty. He got teriyaki chicken, which was decent but nothing spectacular. Could've used a spicy option. We also had hot sake and fried ice cream. Overall, it was an okay experience, nothing amazing. P. S. Not the best fried ice cream. Somewhat disappointing.

My friends and I had a lovely time here and the food was a 10/10 for all of us. We came in 45 mins before they were closing and they still took us in. We loved how they played a variety of music and even Afrobeats came on!!!

Went to a late lunch and was disappointed by this experience. Enjoyed the appetizers and the usual soup and salad. The problem came with the main course. Both of our orders were incorrect. Chicken teriyaki instead of salmon, and hibachi shrimp covered in teriyaki sauce. It could have been easily fixed, and the salmon did arrive a few minutes later. The problem was when the waiter insisted that hibachi shrimp is always covered in teriyaki sauce, which had never been my experience before. He took my plate to "fix" it, and never brought me any food back. At this point I just waited until my companion was done and asked for the check. I wasn't charged for the shrimp. If you have any questions about the food , I advise you to ask in advance or sit at the hibachi table so you can watch what goes on your plate. I will go back but not any time soon.

Gonna give this 4 star because it's probably the better tasting food in this area haha Place set up was fantastic - plenty of seating for hibachi and table - we were quite comfortable in a booth We ordered a couple hibachi combos and a calamari appetizer. I don't recommend the calamari haha, felt like I was ordering breaded onion rings Hibachi combos felt similar to ordering Chinese takeout- especially how the fried rice and noodles were made. I was hoping for more variety in the veggies and getting some really charred onions or squash but there was just broccoli I thought the salmon was very good though! The salmon was slightly different with a glazed teriyaki sauce, and definitely the standout item. The meats were also yummy and well seasoned

For being in Wilkes Barre, this is my favorite place to go. Usually get a reservation but seems to have enough seats for walk ins. They have a hibachi side and a table side. Menu is what you expect for a Japanese restaurant. Prices are in range of what you would expect

Our party of 4 came to Hibachi on a Wednesday evening before an event at the nearby arena. We were seated fairly quickly even though we were 20 minutes late for our reservation. The tables were very tall, and sort of made us feel like children reaching up to something too high. The tables were extended and we were not in front of the cook top at all. Three of our party ordered hibachi, and I ordered a Godzilla roll with the intention of sharing it and a hibachi plate with my husband. The awkward part was that everyone had their salads, soups, and hibachi was already started before the sushi entree arrived. The soup was just broth, and the salad was basically soup with the amount of dressing in the bowl. The sushi roll was very good, and the food from the hibachi was cooked well. It was fairly entertaining, but I would probably pass on the experience if offered again. We left feeling satisfied with our meal, but probably would not come back for the hibachi part. Next time I would choose to sit in the sushi bar.

Best sushi in the area with great deals! I live out of town but make sure this is always a go to spot when I'm visiting my family. I went during lunch and got their sushi lunch special. You have the option of 2 or 3 rolls and it comes with a salad and miso soup. My favorite roll is the KCC roll which is really impossible to find at any other sushi restaurant I've been to. I also have to order the hibachi fried rice with a side of the seafood sauce (also can't get that where I live.) There's always plenty of food and I always have leftovers. I also got a to go order for my family and it was ready at the perfect time. I've never had an issue with service and it will continue to be a go to spot!

Sushi was warm, not as cold as I am used too. Service was great. I probably will not go back.

We had a reservation for 6:30pm. This place gets really busy, so it's a good idea to make reservations if you can. Cindy was our server and she was amazing. She was super attentive even though she was super busy with the other tables. We didn't sit on the hibachi side but will definitely be back to try it. Love this place!!

Our food was lukewarm to cold when we received it. This is the second time this has happened. I guess they leave your dinner sitting under a warmer until you finish your soup and salad. My husband also had a hair on his plate that was spotted as he was putting his rice in a container! Yuck! This used to be our favorite place. Not so much anymore. Sad how so many food places have gone down hill. Especially since they are charging top dollar.

This is the best Japanese place in the area. Their sushi and hibachi, in my opinion, is better than all the others. I've been here a number of times. Finally remembered to post a review! My niece's shrimp hibachi was excellent. I got a variety of rolls. All were fresh and tasty. They will soon be moving to a new location which will improve the only thing about them that isn't the best. Their current location is a bit of a run down strip mall... the restaurant is nice inside but it will be great to see their grand renovated new location! And it will be great to see the former Chili's by the mall completely overhauled and looking nice.

This place was by the mall, so plenty of parking. We came for lunch and were seated right away. We got a variety of sushi and they were all good. I would love to go back, so whenever I visit PA this would be a stop. The waitress was nice. The atmosphere was quiet and you can hear each other talk, I recommend checking it out.

I have been coming to Mirakuya for over ten years at this point and have honestly never had a bad meal. The thing that I most consistently order is the Hibachi Steak, but the Hibachi Chicken and Hibachi Filet are great, too. They have my gold-standard yum yum sauce and I compare all other Hibachi places' sauces to theirs. The Tempura entrees are delicious as well if you like tempura. Their drinks are very reasonably priced - on my most recent visit I got a huge Mai Tai and it was $8 (and not a bad Mai Tai!).

I use to love coming to this restaurent to just have a beer and some sushi. However, on June 4th, 2025, that completely changed. I went in and sat at the bar as I always do. I sat there for 10 minutes without any acknowledgement from anyone. There was no one covering the bar but there were other people around that saw me there. I finally asked one of the sushi chefs if anyone was covering the bar. He looked up toward the podium/reception area that is at the front door. There was a young boy, man isn't the proper word to use with this kid, standing there and the sushi chef said something to him. The look on this kid's face was disgusting. He had a look of "JFC" I actually have to do something. He walked over to the bar where I was sitting with some menus in his hand, as he approached he didn't say one damn word to me....no "sorry for the wait, no let me find someone for you....NOTHING!!! And this is where I about lost my sh*t!!! He didn't just lay the menus next to me, he fricking tossed them at me!!!! That is when I got up and said NEVERMIND and I want to speak to the manager. Now, before you call me a Karen, I normally do not go this far when it comes to poor service but this brat pushed me over the line. Steve was the manager that day and he was basically useless. I told him what happened and I'm pretty sure he didn't do anything. So Mirakuya you lost a damn good customer (I'm a damn good tipper) and Mizo gained a damn good customer. I will never set foot in your restaurant again!!!!

Wanted to give (***1/2) stars. Been going here with the family for many years. Things to consider. The food is over all delicious. That being said. The new restaurant isn't as good as the old one. Chairs sit to low at teppanyaki table. They have also started with these extend-a-tables. These tables add guests to the teppanyaki table but removed from the experience. The food has changed in my opinion as well. It has gone from 4.5 to 3.5 stars. I recently had an experience where my whole family ordered filet dinners, my exception was combo scallop. All of us prefer medium temperature. I noticed the chef had cooked me a separate piece of "filet" outside of everyone else's. This made me suspicious. My "filet" looked exactly like to other customers regular steak. I'm 99.9% certain they were switching my meat. Just take caution you are getting what you order. Additionally portioning to the table can be very badly distributed depending on chef. One nice thing is the bonus shrimp. I would put management at a 2.5 star rating. Things seem to have become more greedy and less customer focused. Be prepared to eat fast and be moved along. Overall the teppanyaki experience is fun. It's def pricey. Most places have gone up with inflation. I do think this is one of the better teppanyaki experiences around the country. We visit any where between 4-6 times a year. I may pull that back after my last few experiences. Standard order & stars: 1. Pepped Tuna *****, Cali Roll ***, Pork Dumplings **** 2. Soup **** (Great flavor, not as many mushrooms as previous history) 3. Salad *** (Delicious dressing, lettuce cuts have become far to chunky) 4. Noodles ***** (Always great, and my person favorite.) 5. Rice **** (Not my favorite but the family loves it) 6. Filet *** (Good for was it is. May not be worth the upgrade from regular steak.) 7. Shrimp ***** (Always delicious IMHO) 8. Scallops *** (Fair warning: These are hit & miss) 9. Chicken **** (Pretty sure this is a solid go to but I don't get it personally) 10. Veggies **** (Freshly cooked. Not much to say. Onion, Broccoli, Mushroom, Zucchini)

Their lunch is normally delicious! Shout out to Tracey because she has been the best server. Tracey and the typical food quality is why I'm not giving this a 1 star. What occured was half way through my lunch I bit into something sharp, even mentioning that it was so sharp I have a small cut in my mouth. I took the sharp item out and discovered that it was either glass or melted plastic. I explained to our male server what happened and found more of the glass/plastic in the rice and showed him. He then tried to convince me it was rice...look at the photos and tell me that's rice!!! Rice doesn't become sharp or almost translucent! He then gets the owner who then tells me it's the same thing initially. First off overcooked rice becomes mushy...secondly regardless if rice is cooked or not IT DOES NOT TURN TRANSLUCENT! Then the excuse it's the left over starch. No starch disentergrates and again isn't sharp. Instead of owning up to the mistake the owner stops trying to convince me that it's rice and perhaps something scrapped off the pot they use and gave me a coupon to use on my meal today. My bigger reason for writing this was they argued to me about what the sharp item was claiming it's rice and that I could finish my meal and I already ate half...if they would have just said well regardless of what this is it shouldn't be there I am sorry this is what I can do for you I wouldn't write this...zoom in on the picture people and this is only a small portion of what was in my food. Does that look like ANYTHING rice can produce?

This was my 1st hibachi experience so I make this review about the complete dining experience versus just the food taste. We ordered the Mai Tai which was extra large. I also got the cucumber adive drink which was quite refreshing! We ordered the chicken hibachi. They start off with a soup. The man making the food was fun and skilled although his aim was off. Most people missed the zucchini. It was also a super soaker sake experience. The chicken tasted like your average chicken teriyaki. The veggies, rice and noodles were pretty well cooked and pretty filling. We also ordered the peanut Avocado roll and the cucumber roll. The portion size was good and it was fine. We weren't offered dessert. But it was a fun and unique dining experience overall.

Celebrated my wife's birthday here. The food was amazing and the chefs were entertaining! The drinks were also great. Clean, friendly atmosphere. Plenty of leftover food that lasted a few days!

To think I once loved this restaurant......... I was sitting in front of my tv enjoying my sushi dinner when I suddenly bit into something hard- I check, lo and behold it's a BONE !!! What kind of service is this? I don't believe I've ever seen anything so vile in my entire LIFE! This restaurant used to be the hip place for sushi, now it's completely LAME. Don't waste your money here. They won't get another CENT from me.

I was in town for work and went there for take out. I ordered the seafood ramen and seafood salad. The service is good. The food is decent for WB. The place is nice.

Mirakuya is located in a small shopping plaza across from the former Toys R Us (Soon to be Ocean State Job Lot.) Restaurant is surprisingly large with adequate seating. They serve Pepsi products that were well mixed. Ordered the three roll lunch that comes with soup and salad. I am not a salad person, but it was fresh and delicious with a great dressing. The soup was also good with a strong flavor. Went with the Eel Avocado, Philadelphia, and Spicy Salmon rolls. All the rolls were average, but came with 8 pieces per roll. While the sushi I had was average, I want to return to try the Special Rolls and Hibachi. Overall good experience.

Their new location is very nice, completely renovated, bigger bar, and several more hibachi tables. Their food was good before the restaurant moved but it's better than ever. We got the chicken and shrimp hibachi dinner. The chicken has a more grilled flavor to it along with generous portions. We got our food very fast (as usual) for how packed it was. We also got the Mai Tai mixed drink and believe me, they do not skimp on the alcohol with this one. My one suggestion to others is to make reservations ahead of time or you will wait quite a bit to eat.

I had lunch there at the Hibachi. Cami our waitress was fantastic. the food was very good. The cooking show was great,

Best sushi in the entire Scranton area; very kind and generous staff. Absolutely recommend this place. The sushi is incredibly fresh and the drinks are mixed very well.

I got a cup of miso soup and the Tango Roll. The combination of tempura shrimp, crab, asparagus, and scallops was great. My brother got the roll without meat and a side of smoked salmon. My coworker got the tonkotsu rice plate and said the sauce tasted a lot like A1 sauce. Our waiter was super nice and told us about the new rolls and even showed them to us on his phone. Everything was good. We got two rolls, the smoked salmon, and a cup of miso soup for ~$30 including tip.

The food was really delicious, I fell in love with the miso soup they served with my salmon hibachi - it was full of flavor and I wanted more. The portion for the hibachi (I opted for noodles) was perfect. Not as large as I'm used to which was a delight. The salmon portion was on point as well as seasoned and cooked to flaky buttery ness. The service was okay, it was lunch time so understandable. The ambience of the restaurant as a whole was pleasant and bustling.

The food was great but what my eyes witnessed between management and their workers was terrible..i personally left a tip for my server and before i left out restaurant i just so happened to look back at my table just in time to witness one of the managers pocketing the tip i had left specially for my server!!..i went to tell my server what happened and was enlightened that in fact the thief i seen with my own eyes was a manager by the name of "Tim" ..i then confronted the manager just to be told that i was lying and with attitude was demanded to leave the restaurant..i will not be going there again for how mistreated i was and for how mistreated my server was!.. I don't advise anyone else to eat here unless you are okay with and support toxic work environments!!

I have been to Mirakuya about 3 times now and it is definitely my favorite place for sushi and hibachi while I am in town. This place is fairy packed pretty much all the time I have been here, even on a Monday evening. The staff are very friendly and gives you recommendation if you need help with the menu. Plenty of seating with about 5 hibachi tables which is always full. Good food and very good drinks as well. I have always ordered from the special roll menu and my favorite are the Out of Control roll and the James Bond roll. I will recommend this place.

Picked up some sushi to-go yesterday and it was great! Also a quick & easy process, they had my order bagged & ready at the front counter when I arrived. While I did not eat there, the inside looked clean & comfortable. My favorite special rolls were the Sweet Devil, Tiger, and Valentine. We also tried (and enjoyed) the Rock'n, Wonderful, and Spicy Ocean.

I started coming here when they first opened years ago. I took my family to the hibachi for dinner and we loved the experience and the food. Now that I live about 35 miles from Wilkes-Barre but still work in the area, I only come here for lunch. This time I ordered the Sushi and sashimi lunch. The fish was exceptional fresh considering how far we are from the ocean. I especially loved the white tuna. The rice was perfect sushi rice. I can't say enough about the service. The hostess dated me immediately and was very friendly. The waitress answers my questions and was very patient and hospitable. The Miso soup was also exceptionally delicious. What I love about sushi and sashimi is that it doesn't fill you up so much that you're tired the rest of the day and you are still hungry enough for dinner. Great place. Definitely give it a try.

Food delicious, service is very good and the new building is so spacious. Love going here

Dinning room is crowded but decor is nice. Steak was tough an inedible but the shrimp was very good. Tried to send back the stake and they were very rude. Overall service was terrible.

I can only give a 1 star review because we actually was not able to eat there. I've been to Mirakuya multiple times and usually always have a reservation, however it was just my fiancé and I and thought we would just stop in and sit at the bar if the was any open chairs. So it was 7:30 and yes it was busy but we went to the bar and there was 3 chairs at the bar. We asked bar tender are these available and he said yes. Well before we can sit on them we were stopped by hostess saying they were reserved ... uhm ok never heard of bar top reservations but ok. So we had left and decided we would call and make reservations for 8 and head back. Well when I called they said they don't make reservations for the bar.. it's first come first serve well then which is it.... so we ended up getting sushi from wegmans and have our own date night at home..

There are certain things in life where frugality is appropriate. For instance, I never pay full price for my Prada socks, that would be silly! Sushi, however, is not something that I would ever go bargain hunting for. So when the mother of my puppies told me of a sushi restaurant far from any body of water, that featured $1 nigiri on Sunday night, I wanted no part of it. I come from a vain and superficial family, where we typically blow a minimum of $250 on an evening of raw fish and rice. Why would I darken my doors with this cheap place, in a state that helped Trump get elected, and also miss Sunday Night Football in the process? Well I have no spine, so I caved and went to dollar sushi at Mirakuya, prepared to choke down California rolls while passive aggressively grumbling about how my last sushi outing was Masa's omakaze. BUT.... praise Allah! Mirakuya is actually good! Their $1 pieces look like actual nigiri, not a comically undersized piece of b-list fish on dry rice. They have quail eggs! What an unexpected surprise! Mackerel nigiri isn't dry, Godzilla roll is great and filling for $7. Their drinks are great deals too! Want a Mai Tai that will put you over the legal limit, but not in the poor house? $5 for a freaking fish bowl. Is it as good as Masa or Yasuda? Of course not, but it's also not $500+ per person. We ate ourselves into mercury poisoning for less than $100, and now we go out of our way to go to Mirakuya every time we're in Wilkes-Barre (which is sadly a frequent occurrence). Oh, and I got to watch SNF because they have TVs! Seeing Kansas City obliterate my Broncos would normally make me rage uncontrollably, but with a tummy full of sensibly priced fish and spicy mayonnaise, it didn't hurt at all. Oh and I got to watch someone at the teppanyaki table get hit in the face with a shrimp, so that's a plus too. Support this business!

The service was just ok. I walked in and was told by management they could seat me right away, 5 minutes. However, after waiting about 15 minutes a couple walked in and they seated them right away. I had to check with the manager and he was joking laughing with coworkers. Once they finished talking they got a table clear and sat us at a table in an awkward corner. Our waitress was not knowledgeable about the menu but was nice enough. My sushi roll was good (not the best I've had but good) but my husbands dish was not worth $25. He had beef chunks and lukewarm dry white rice and sad veggies on the side. Disappointing.

Good food. Everything tasted great. Had the vegetarian hibachi which was yummy. Also had the Kingston roll and it was delicious. Food was fresh and the atmosphere was great. Fun place to celebrate my birthday.

Went to this for dinner over the weekend and my boyfriend said it was the "best sushi restaurant" we've ever been to. When we arrived, we were seated quickly and the atmosphere was very nice. Our waiter Shawn provided great customer service and always came back to check up on if everything was okay. My boyfriend ordered the shrimp tempura appetizer (~$7.50), which came with 3 pieces of fried shrimp tempura and vegetables. The vegetables included mushroom, sweet potato, zucchini and asparagus. He also ordered the salmon don (~$17) and the fish was very fresh. Wish there was more rice though! It also came with salad and soup. The soup isnt the usual miso soup at other Japanese restaurants, but a darker soy sauce based soup with mushrooms. The salad's dressing was great though. I ordered the chicken yaki udon (~$12), an Alaska hand roll (~$5) and Tokyo roll (~$7). The udon was a huge serving and the flavor was amazing. The sushi was very fresh, and the Tokyo roll is definitely a new favorite roll for me (tuna, salmon avocado and tobiko). Loved my experience here, and the prices were fair. Will definitely come back for Japanese food again!

Excellent sushi and service! Most impressively - I left my credit card and when I called - they kindly and securely mailed it to me. We will definitely go back for meals when driving long distance between home and Northeast US.

I love going to Mirakuya! It's the dining place the stemmed lovely dates my boyfriend and I have had together. The old Mirakuya was nice, it was always cozy and had good food but the renovated one is fabulous! The menu changed a bit but still kept our favorites. I am so happy a place like this exists near me and isn't overpriced. My boyfriend and I will keep going on lovely dates here and enjoying our experiences to the fullest.

I really liked the food and it was amazing.The service was amazing at the place but the only down side is, after 30 minutes the food kicked in and hurt our stomachs so bad we had horrible morbid rapid diarrhea. Not coming back.

Stopped by this place because I wanted to grab some sushi before heading out to see a band in the area... the atmosphere in the room was really nice. I sat at the bar, which I am usually OK with, and was greeted well by the bartender/manager soon after I sat down, the waitress came up and asked me if I was ready yet and I told her no, but I like the attentiveness as the restaurant was pretty crowded. My food came out pretty quick. The rolls that I got were pretty tasty. And I will say that the manager empowering his team was a great thing to hear. I will definitely come back to this place...

Excellent service, great atmosphere and warm welcome. Recommend to all for a greT dining experience
