  Massive portion of poke and it was great food. For two people poke and drinks/milk teas it was about $50 but it was really good and I think it is worth your time to visit.

  It’s not bad if the owner makes it for you but I went in the other night and the guy making everything forgot the sauces, ginger and wasabi.

  Overview: Rotten lettuce in sushi bowl, and the 3 employees shrugged and didn't care or accept any responsibility. Dismissed idea of any discount. One said they don't eat raw fish, another said they don't eat lettuce. None of the 3 acknowledged that something was wrong with what was served in the sushi bowl they prepared! 1. There was a lot of rotten mixed lettuce in our poke bowl. (black, rotted slimy) My wife complained, and showed all the rotten pieces she was having to collect on a side napkin. The two women shrugged, and said it came new from the container like that. Did she want a bowl with zero lettuce? Not really. That's not what we wanted and what we paid for. We always get half sushi rice & half salad all the bowl places we like. I repeated that we buy a lot of mixed salad at the grocery, and it often does need some washing/ inspection to remove rotten lettuce pieces or sections. They shrugged. 2. When I asked about the salmon vs. spicy fish, my bowl maker shrugged and said she doesn't eat raw fish. (Do they know enough about sushi?) 3. My wife and I, who frequent many poke & sushi places, were amazed they would not take any responsibility. A 3rd worker comes in to work. We explained to him, confident someone must know it is not acceptable to serve rotten lettuce in a sushi bowl. He said, "Why are you asking me? I just got here. I don't know. I don't eat lettuce." 4. OK These 3 people have not been trained about acceptable food quality, much less sushi, which requires higher standards! 5. Details, this was about 90 minutes after the GA vs Kentucky football game, and we were the only ones in the store. Another family came, heard our ongoing discussion, and left. 6. Overall: pleasant place, and good ingredients and preparation EXCEPT for my wife's with multiple pieces and edges of lettuce that were black, slimy and clearly rotten. With ok lettuce, and better trained employees would be a 4 or 5. 7. Finally, some of the reviews seem possibly fake. Numerous reviews from “people” who have left 1 or 2 reviews. Giving 5,5,5 and Sound like marketing speak.

  Delicious food! We shared the Chicken Dumplings, Bao Buns with chicken, Chicken Noodle and the Korean corndogs(traditional and potato) - OMG and don't get me started on the drinks that smashed. Highly recommend! The owner was super friendly and welcoming too!
