The Chicken Karaage, is a MUST 🍽️ The Tornado roll was also very delicious. The Ramen was perfect for the rainy weather that was outside. Our service was excellent. Everything was clean.

Visited at noon, and our experience was underwhelming. The wait for our order was 30 minutes, which felt long for a moderately busy time. The sushi was average at best—nothing stood out in terms of freshness or flavor. Ordered chicken ramen, but it came with a piece of pork that was so tough it was inedible, which was disappointing and confusing. Also ordered chili flakes for $3, but received a small container of mostly oil with barely any flakes—definitely not worth the price. Service was okay, but the food quality and execution need improvement. Hoping for better next time. The staff was great and prompt

Ordered kuro ramen and garlic spicy edamame and was not disappointed! The edamame was plentiful and very tasty. The ramen was fresh and the soup base is one of the best that I've had in the US. Thebserver was very polite and attentive. I'll definitely be back.

Where do I start.. When a restaurant is trying their best to deceive unknowing customers, they need to be called out. Soju is maximum $5-6 per bottle at the store. Most restaurants charge $15-$17 for general upcharge for fair business purposes. This restaurant decides to sell each bottle by 7x the market price at $35 each. This is worse than Vegas prices. The rice wine that is “20% off”is marked at 6x the market price after the discount. This is some next level hustling and I really question the owner’s character. The food is forgettable. Just some store bought teriyaki sauce on your meat. I will never even consider eating here again. The prices were so outrageous, it was kind of funny.. There is price gouging… but this is deceitful highway robbery. Get it together…

So disappointed with the food here. We couldn’t manage to even eat the food. Not sure if they were having an off day or new chef that they pulled off the street. But the food was so nasty and very expensive. We got soft shell crab tempura, which came with a sauce that tastes like vinegar and horseradish. The crab was unappetizing looking inside, I don’t quite know what happened, but the shells were a bit crunchy too, it scratched the throat well after eating. Tried one and couldn’t eat more. We also got Tonkatsu ramen that had so many issues. Tasted like burnt pork and they scraped the burnt bits from the grill off into the broth. You can see all the burnt flakes like pepper in the photo. It also tasted like burnt sesame oil or something. The noodles were undercooked, and the egg was overcooked. But mostly just could not eat it because of the burnt sink water flavor of the broth. The waiter was nice enough, but he even agreed that the ramen tasted burnt. Please just go somewhere else if you want ramen.

Awesome experience! I love the menu. It's a mix of sushi, ramen and Japanese fried rice bowls. Perfect for those nights the wife wants sushi and I want something different. The apple roll is unique and great. We also had the cherry blossom for an appetizer. The ramen was great! The broth has lots of flavor and perfect amount of oily texture. The house hot sake is also great Build out inside is nice but you can still dress casual. The staff is very nice and attentive!

I LOVED the sushi. We also got the steamed bun pork appetizer and it was truly delicious. The wait staff was excellent as well. It was so close to a 5 star, the spicy tuna roll wasn't as savory as I was hoping but it was still good! I can't wait to go back and try the ramen.

Gyoza (pan fried)- my toddler liked it and finished the whole order by herself. Forgot to take proper photos of this cuz she wanted to eat everything already 😂 Ozeki Roll- it's tasty but there was a piece of tuna that didnt taste fresh. could be better. Tonkatsu Ramen- meh. The broth isn't rich enough for my liking. Kuro Ramen- Same with 🔺. Broth isnt rich enough. It feels tasted diluted and saturated with green onions and corn. The pork was cut too thick and a bit hard. Ramen is too far from the ones you get in Japan. But service is good and staff are very friendly.

I ordered the lunch special. It came with a California roll and the tonkotsu ramen. The ramen had a great depth of flavor. The portion was big and plating was beautiful. I do wish my pork was braised in order to bring out the great pork flavor. All I got was some boring pork that lacked color and flavor. As well the extra charge for some chili oil was kind of wild to me. The California roll, as expected nothing fancy about it. Had good flavor very enjoyable.

We popped in for some saki and apps while Christmas shopping. So over priced and food is not earning the price tag. I'm not sure the pork in the pork buns was good. It was dry and tasted slightly spoiled. Buns fell apart. The shrimp shumai were your standard steamed shumai and one of the four came looking half eaten. The Bulgogi bowl was fairly good but very sweet so couldn't eat much of it. (We shared it so that helped!) My cucumber salad was $9.00 and I'm pretty sure I was just eating raw cucumber so I asked for a little more vinegar/dressing. The Nigori I ordered was the small and they charged me $24! The full 750ml bottle at total wine is 9.99! My hubs got a $10 can of Sapporo. Yikes!! Won't be going back, but they do have a good location.

Idk where to begin. from the very beginning when you walk in there is an overwhelming and unappetizing smell of sewage. I should have left from there but I thought I'd give it a chance. My husband's ramen was not it. We returned it bc the egg was cold, the noodles were not fully cooked and meat was overcooked. My sushi was okay but it didn't have a full layer of rice around it and was falling apart with each bite. The ambiance has potential but it doesn't feel clean. Especially with the smell. The servers were very sweet and they are aware of the issues in the kitchen. Apparently the chef doesn't take criticism very well. He was going to make us pay half for the ramen "bc he ate some of it". Once he saw us talking to the server, he yelled from the kitchen to remove it from the bill. I honestly felt bad for the servers bc they probably deal with this all day. I left them a large tip for being so kind. This place could really survive if they tried but sounds like the chef doesn't want to. Especially with the location in Southlake I don't think it will last very long. Too bad bc it's a perfect location for Asian cuisine!

I really wanted to like this place. I tried it twice before reviewing it, and it fell flat on almost every level. First, the service is cold. The staff is attentive (there is not enough business to be busy and inattentive) but chilly, hurrying the customer from ordering to leaving. They make no effort to make the experience pleasant. Second, be warned: they are ridiculous with substitutions and do not seem competent enough to accommodate customer taste requests. I took my picky-eater kiddo for this ramen lunch and ordered only the broth and noodles. The waiter said I had to order a full ramen per the menu because they could not do the selected broth and noodles, but I could order the ramen dish and remove all the ingredients......if that sounds dumb to you, I agree. I did as instructed, ordered the $20 dish, and removed the eight ingredients listed. Keep this in mind for the next part. I then ordered my dish, removing one ingredient, and requested radishes instead of seaweed salad. I was told I would have an extra charge for ANY substitutions. Still, there was no deduction or money saved for omitting ingredients; there is improvement to be made here with some, dare I say, common sense for like items. This restaurant would be a nightmare for anyone with dietary restrictions or allergies. So now we're at the price. For broth and noodles, I paid $25 after tax and a portion of the tip; it would have been $8-10 at any other ramen place. My food was fine at the 3-star level. Still, you're paying premium rates that rival high-end restaurants, HOWEVER, without high-end service or experience. As a simple example, I had the hot green tea for $5, and guess what, friends, it's not traditional green tea. It's hot water in a $.10 teabag, which sums up this restaurant, a place that pretends to be high-end, but is not. The restaurant looks great, although it smells like a dirty mop, and is in a prime location. Still, nothing about it justifies a stop in--I've had far more reasonable menu accommodations at McDonald's, better ramen at food trucks for half the price, and twice the hospitality anywhere else. Given their location, they are sure to continue with foot traffic business. Still, they likely will not have repeat customers for the reasons I listed. I don't recommend this location, but I recommend that owners commission a "secret shopper" restaurant equivalent for an on-the-ground review of their business.

Bad quality food, having diarrhea now right after dinner here. So does my friend. The egg was smelling funny when eating it. Reporting to health department

I was craving ramen on a cold day and there are not a lot of ramen options near Southlake. I tried Ozeki and would return there. The lunch special that comes with your choice of a California or spicy tuna roll is a good option. There was a $3 upcharge for wavy noodles, so it's a pricy lunch. The broth itself was fine, very simple. I received 5 star service.

Trash, unless you like getting upcharged for basic necessities to enjoy a meal. Chicken ramen is 18$, so is pork ramen, but to sub one for the other it's 3$. They don't have spicy ramen, but chili paste would cost 2$ extra. Also, they only put one sliver of meat in your ramen that contains a lingering after taste. Crazy.

Tuna sashimi wasn't fresh but definitely from frozen. Every dish that came out was cold.....pan fried gyoza, ramen and boa bun filling. Buns were dried out and fell apart when touched. Waitress was sweet and could tell we weren't happy with the food. Won't be going back

Came here and had a chirashi bowl for dinner with my colleagues, the fish was good and tasted fresh. They wanted to charge me quite a bit more on an already expensive bowl when I simply asked for more salmon than other fish. Which I wasn't pleased about but just ordered the original chirashi. Service was good, it was a bit warm in there but it had a nice view of the surrounding area and vibe. My colleagues ordered the bulgogi bowl and a salad with sashimi and they both liked theirs for the most part.

Matcha Mont Blanc was good!!!! Must try. But Be aware, their "Shrimp Tempura" is NOT TEMPURA. It is deep fried shrimp with panko like the korokke. The sushi was decent and not too pricey. The staff is very friendly and professional.

The appearance inside and out is very clean and pleasant. The waiter greeted us right away and was super friendly. He did forget to bring our drinks (ice water) and we had to ask a couple of times. The food was fresh and tasted good. The only reason for dropping a star is that the price is a little high for serving size and quality.

The service was polite, the shrimp tempura to roll was delicious. The shrimp tasted fresh. The ginger dressing salad was good and the green tea was not bitter, even after a long steep.

I don't usually leave reviews but I feel obligated to. I have never seen so many roaches in a restaurant in my life. They were in the wood seats, on the floor, and on the wall. Don't walk, RUN away from this place.

My friends and I went here last night and we were all super disappointed. None of us liked our food, and some parts of our dishes were straight up gross. One of us ordered the teriyaki chicken and it was so rubbery and dry with hardly any flavor. Another ordered ramen which was bland and the pork belly tasted like it came from a freezer. I also ordered a cocktail, Japanese peach I think, and it was so gross I only took two sips. Then when I asked for it to be taken off my bill the waiter became extremely rude and said he couldn't do anything about it. Luckily who I think was the manger came over and was very nice so it got taken off the bill. Overall we were all extremely disappointed.

I've been here before so I'm surprised at the poor service today. To be fair, they appear to be understaffed - I only saw two people working and no hostess. When I walked in and said it was just myself, the gentleman appeared confused and then referred me to the bar, which had no bartender. I was asked what I would like to drink, asked for sparkling water, and was offered the choice of Perrier or club soda from the gun. I chose Perrier and it came in a plastic bottle. I had to open it and pour it myself. About 8 or 9 minutes went by and I realized it seemed as if I had been forgotten, so I dropped a $10 and walked next door to Truluck's where I'm having an amazing dinner.

We love this spot! Solid 5 stars. Outstanding servers/employees work here! Everything we have ordered here has always been delicious and they only use the freshest, quality ingredients. We have lived in Southlake for just a few months and have been here at least 5 or 6 times. Portions are perfect and their prices are on par with other local spots or less. The hot meals we have had are the chicken teriyaki, Bulgogi, gyoza and and spicy garlic edamame... My husband loves their ramen! The fish is the star at Ozeki and I recommend the Ahi tower and the Yellowtail Heaven both are EXCELLENT! Cucumber salad and the poke are both great too! We always get the same rolls and enjoy them.....their Porche roll and the Spicy tuna roll. They have outside seating when the weather is nice and they allow dogs on the patio - bonus. Great sake (hot and cold) as well as a nice beer and wine selection. Shout out to the waitstaff at Ozeki. Thank you for all you do! Servers play an important role in guest satisfaction and its so refreshing to visit a restaurant with excellent service!!! So nice how you have created rapport with your customers:)

Good ambiance and food was ok. A bit pricey given the area but it was expected. Decent place to check out once. Kuro Ramen wasn't too bad. Service was decent as well. Recommend to try out once.

Eel was disgusting. There is no way Koreans cook authentic Japanese food. Karaage chicken was just fried chicken with no taste. As a person from Japan, any food they make is not acceptable.

Probably the best ramen I ever had. The best gyoza too. Listen I could try to describe it in words but you will 100% not be disappointed in either of the options I choose. Looking to come back for the lobster ramen for a special occasion. I know they will not disappoint. The gyoza was just the best flavor I ever had.

Service was great, so a shout to Bryce for that. Food overall was OK, nothing special. After that, come here for sky high prices for the food and even more overpriced liquor. I don't expect that they'll even be in business for all of 2024.

The Southlake roll was good and spicy. Ferrari roll was super tasty, good mix. Draft beer was cold!

Not the same restaurant I tried 2 years ago. The Ozeki roll - their signature roll was disappointing. Swimming in a super sweet sauce, I couldn't taste the fish. Not what I would have expected or wanted. Service was less than stellar.

Expensive but just know that coming into Southlake. A bowl of ramen will run you 20.00, a roll is sushi will run over 20.00. We ordered takoyaki to start, California roll, house salad, ahi tuna salad and a salmon roll. The Salmon roll was fresh. The tuna poke salad was way too heavy handed in dressing, order dressing on the side. For this 25.00 dish it would go a long way to add a small scoop of rice etc to make the value of the meal. Service was good.

I needed to run errands in Southlake and it was lunch time. I am happy I picked sushi for lunch. Service was fast, friendly, and efficient. Ahi Towers are one of our favorite things. I was happy to see they had an Ahi Tuna and a Salmon Tower. We got the Ahi one and it was amazing. It had very little rice and I thought the chips they served with it was a nice touch. I like a little crunch with my meal. The White Rose Roll was in the riceless section. It was perfect; fresh and delicious. The house ginger salad was a little larger and more flavorful, with different types of greens, than a typical ginger salad. I really enjoyed it.

I don't usually do a bad review but this time I felt like I really needed too, let me start with this place gave me the worst food poisoning of my life. I don't eat pork and I asked if they can make sure the ramen doesn't touch anything that the pork may touch and they said that is perfectly fine next thing I know I'm having the worst diarrhea of my life and throwing up and that's all from cross contamination, our waitress was very sweet but when she brought me my cup of water there was the longest hair in it and it wasn't mine my because my hair is very short. It was very pretty and aesthetically pleasing but the food messed me up.

Very friendly staff, solid good food. Got a table on a busy Saturday night with very little wait time (unlike nearby restaurants in Southlake town square, which can be a mess). We had the tuna tower, miso soup, cucumber salad, California Dream roll, beef bowl. Each were very tasty and served promptly. I would return for another meal!

I've been on the hunt to find the best sushi spot in Southlake. I've concluded that everything available is mid-grade sushi and at staggering LA and NYC prices. Very disappointing, to say the least (not to say there isn't excellent sushi in Dallas, because there is!). We came on a Friday night (during prime time) and it was empty, empty, which didn't add up. We saw 4 stars on Yelp so the void took us aback. So, either some of the folks reviewing don't know what good sushi and ramen tastes like or we got a bad order. Either way, this place is lackluster and very poor value. High end prices with low end atmosphere and food. Starting with the ramen. I lived in Japan and have tried Japanese style ramen throughout the world. As you can see of the photo, the boiled egg was fully boiled and not soft. The broth tasted slightly rancid, which I got over. The noodles were over cooked and the katsu was lukewarm. It was pretty bad, to be frank. First time I didn't finish my entire bowl. The sushi was your typical mid-grade. No real sushi chef at these prices and, as with many Dallas sushi joints, seemingly run by Koreans. The fish was definitely not fresh from the Japanese fish market and rolls were $20-25, at least. The sushi was okay but terrible value for the price. The sushi rice was definitely poorly prepared. We ordered the Red Dragon roll and one other that was no rice. I noticed that Sushi Zen is always packed, even though it's only slightly better mid-grade sushi. So far, Southlake sushi has been disappointing. Notwithstanding, the staff was very friendly and the service was certainly top notch.

The food was delicious, however the manager is TERRIBLE. like beyond terrible. We came in, order ramen and a rice bowl. however, we didn't know what the rice bowl completely was so we asked our server if they were served hot or cold and she said hot, so we ordered it. When it came out, it was a cold poke bowl and my husband doesn't like cold poke bowls so of course it wasn't what we wanted. so we asked the server girl if we could replace it with a second ramen bowl and when she went to the manager he came over and proceeded to read off the menu to us and made us feel like we were idiots and then asked if we wanted to MICROWAVE the bowl. to which we said no, and explained what happened with the server and he did not care one single bit just kept telling us that we couldn't get another bowl of ramen instead and that we had to pay for it fully even though we never even touched the bowl. so of course we just sent it back and let it go. BUT THEN he kept hovering around our table as we SHARED one single bowl of ramen like he was watching us for some reason? he then came back up to us and asked if we wanted it half off and we kindly asked him to just leave us alone to which he tried to explain the menu to us like we were children AGAIN and we told him to leave us alone again. We found out it was the poor server girls first day, so it's 100% not on her, but he was absolutely terrible. We would definitely come back over and over and over because the food was so good but never dealing with that man again.

The worst attention received here, we called at 8:45 to ask what time they closed, on the website It said at 10, the person who answered told us that the kitchen closed at 9:30 and that we should place the order by telephone, we informed him that we were driving from the airport and that we would arrive at 9:20, we placed the order over the phone , we drove for 30 minutes and when we arrived at 9:20 they told us that they cancel The order. Very unprofessional from their side !!!! I do not recommend this place at all

Yelp
Flabbergasted, The only thing that was good is the location.. Full stop. They are not taking advantage of it. Prices are through the roof for a ramen and subpar sushi joint. 20+ for any cocktail. 10+ for bottled beer. Tonkatsu was under flavored with stiff noodles and the hamachi Kama was overcooked. You can get better at any take out Korean or fusion place. Additionally, they charge an extra $2 for chilli oil and $1.5 for some extra ginger..... pickled ginger... Save yourself $170 dollars and go somewhere else or make another choice on where to spend your hard earned cash.

Out of this world ramen. They used great ingredients, real wasabi if I'm not mistaken. The spicy tuna roll was definitely tasted less "Americanized" then most Japanese places, it was outstanding. Service was spot on although my wife and I were the only ones there for the majority of our meal. One negative was that they nickel and dime you for everything! We paid about 60$ with tip for lunch, that is probably standard for being in Southlake though. Overall great food and experience.

Very yummy, fresh and authentic taste! Beautifully set up place. There's a bar right when you walk in, in the middle it's like a lovely restaurant with booths and tables, in the back there's a little area for single diners or even groups. The fish was fresh and refreshing and the ramen was delicious!

excellent excellent service and food. I'm originally from ATL (just visiting Dallas) and am an avid Miso Soup lover and let me tell you... this is THE best miso i've ever had. I've been coming here everyday for lunch it's that good. You also have to try the Shrimp Tempura roll. Chris has been our server and it is such a pleasure seeing his bubbly personality everyday- i'll definitely miss this place when i go back to ATL. 20/10

This is our first trip to Ozeki. We were excited to try it and then saw the wine, beer, and cocktail prices. We do not mind normal mark ups however this is extreme for common products. We ordered a couple of rolls and edamame. Likely our last trip unless is for lunch without beverages. The spicy rolls were very good as was the order of vegetable potstickers, pan fried.

They added cold boiled eggs and corn directly from the refrigerator to the ramen. Their eel role and shrimp tempura roll tasted identical. How? Perhaps they're trying to save money by using as few main ingredients as possible.

A very fun japanese experience right in Southlake Town Square. The service staff are very attentive and wonderful to talk to. Atmosphere is great for a date or a nice family meal. The food itself is authentic and tastes pretty darn delicious. We ordered the shrimp tempura, takoyaki, Tonkotsu ramen, and salmon ahi tower. They were all pretty good. The Tonkotsu broth and noodles were great. My only complaint was that the beef was a bit rubbery. The soft shell crab we ordered was perfect. The takoyaki came out and was at an edible temperature, rather the molten lava temperature that usually happens when I order this appetizer elsewhere. Besides the beef everything was done perfectly. Overall we really enjoyed ourselves here and can't wait to come back to try out some other great dishes.

Stopped in for a Friday date night dinner with my GF, and we had high hopes for Ozeki since it was at such a convenient location in Southlake town square. The primary reason that I'm giving them 3 stars is because of the hostess. The hostess mentioned to us that she would be following the list that she made based on when people checked in. We promptly checked in with her and waited. After seeing multiple 2 party couples who checked in later than us get seated, we decided to talk with her. She mentioned that she "forgot" our names on the list, and did not even apologize for the inconvenience. Honestly, I would recommend that Ozeki provides the hostess with better education and training on restaurant etiquette. We got seated at a small table and our waitress was extremely nice, she promptly took our order and the food did take a bit to come out, which is understandable because they are new and still working out the kinks. We ordered the Geso Karaage, salmon tower, and Tonkotsu ramen. It was great that they provided a side of complimentary edamame while we waited for our food. The Geso Karaage (fried squid legs) was not that flavorful and was not crispy enough. I'd recommend staying away from ordering this hot plate and order the salmon tower instead. The salmon tower was presented well and stacked pretty tall. There was a generous portion of spicy salmon and crab meat. It was seasoned well and is a pleasant cold dish. In regards to the ramen, the Tonkotsu ramen fell a bit short of our ramen expectations. The broth was way too salty for us, and the chashu was a bit tough to chew. However, the soft-boiled egg and mushroom did taste fantastic and were flavorful. When we got the bill, they also gave us a $15 off coupon for future use, which was a nice gesture since we came during the soft opening. Overall, Ozeki does have a lot of work to do, especially to compete with all the Japanese ramen chains in DFW. I hope they can improve some items on their menu and have a more diligent and caring hostess. At the moment, in my honest opinion, if you're looking for high quality and tasty ramen at this price point, I'd recommend checking out Hinodeya in Dallas.

I was in the area and had a craving for ramen so I stopped by this restaurant. After trying it out I was left fully satisfied! I had the kuro ramen which was delicious! The broth was really rich and flavorful! I expected the garlic to be too much but it wasn't, it worked well with the meaty flavor of the broth and was just right! I had a side of takoyaki as well and they were great! Next time I'm craving ramen I know where I can go!

I had found out about Ozeki from a vegetarian/vegan food group that I'm in and was interested in trying them out for their fruit sushi items. We arrived around opening for lunch one day, staff was friendly and helpful. We liked the larger variety of sushi items, though with that the price is high compared to most if not all of the other sushi places we had been too. Which while we liked most everything we got it might end up making Ozeki more of an occasional stop for us vs one of regular rotation. Though my husband said with his non-sushi items he might consider coming back more often for the non-sushi items due to the quality and price point compared to other places we go too. For sure go check them out if you need more vegetarian/vegan sushi items for friends, family or yourself!

I came in on a thursday, was pretty dead. The staff was so kind, very courteous. Ya'll get the ginger salad! So good, maybe go light on the sauce. I got the spider roll which had a generous amount. The drinks are a little pricy but it's Southlake sooo... Come here for good food and drink.

Omg I am in LOVE! Super happy this place opened near my office. As soon as you walk in, there is a sweet aroma of Japanese ramen in the atmosphere. The cooks are visible from the main eating area so you hear the clanking of pots and pans as you eat. I decided to try the tempura udon noodles and I was not disappointed. Warm rich noodles that tasted like my Japanese Grandma's home cooked meals on a cold day. (She passed away so anything that reminds me of her touches my heart...) There is such a wide variety of options to choose from on the menu that I can try something different for every day of the month. Legit Japanese food and the staff is also very friendly - I will definitely be back. Domo arigato!

The owner is the nicest person! Service is spot on! Prices are a little high but I feel like most places are like this in Southlake. The tempura is some of the best I've had. Great flavor! The sushi was really great. Creative ingredients. I think the sushi rice could be a bit better but it is for sure good enough. I haven't had the ramen yet but my friends did and they loved it! TONS of vegetarian options.

Found this little nice lunch spot while shopping at Southlake Town Square. I got the kaarage bowl - Japanese fried chicken cooked to perfection. It was crispy on the outside & tender on the inside. Also, the service was great! Can't wait to come back again.

Hubby and I love Good Ramen. We live in Near by and thought coming to Southlake we would be sure to find good ramen, especially with the price at $17 for a base pork ramen. There are MUCH better ramen out there for 1/2 the price. Service was great. But The ramen was not worth the price.

Great fresh sushi but on the expensive side. The presentation even takeout was definitely top notch. The fish was fresh. I got the Ozeki roll for $23 which is hefty but filling roll with variety of fish. The jalapeño bomb was also good and spicy too! Love the spicy mayo unagi sauce that it comes with. Will come back, conveniently located next to Hilton for those visiting

Food was amazing! I ordered the Kuro Ramen, and Philidelphia sushi roll. Service was great, food came out hot and fast, and the ramen was genuinely perfect. The ambiance was relaxing and it was extremely clean inside.

First timer here and the experience wasn't too bad at all! We were the only customer and the way they care for the environment with covid going around is very excellent! They have sanitizer wipes, hand sanitizer bottles in the table for you to keep safe and clean! Service is quite nice and very welcoming, no need to complain about it. - Food: Now I started off my appetizer with takoyaki since it's my all time favorite for any places that has this appetizer, and also ordered the sushi sampler platter, the salmon sushi(aka nigiri), Philadelphia rolls, and also the mountain rolls. All the rolls were amazing, the salmon nigiri melts in your mouth, Philadelphia rolls wasn't nothing to complain about since it's just salmon, avocado, cucumber and cream cheese, the mountain roll was quite flavorful and saucy to my liking! Overall: Would come back here and try out their ramen, or better yet more different sushi's!
