⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We tried this place for the first time last night and absolutely loved it! The Bang Bang Shrimp and Mongolian Beef were both delicious, and the cozy atmosphere made it even better. We really enjoyed the whole experience and can’t wait to come back to try the rolls at the bar next time! 😁

Has gone down hill. I’ve only experienced eating at one of the bar areas so I give service 5 stars. Ordered Wok Charred Edamame as an appetizer, kitchen didn’t even produce it until after my food came out, and it was soggy. Looked like someone steamed the edamame and then poured what was sitting in the wok all night onto them. I ordered a bento box which comes with a slider that I only ate due to being hungry. It was dry, charred, and no toppings hardly. Too expensive for what is being put out. Didn’t even picture the bento.

This is a nice restaurant. It's open concept design, comfortable tables. We went for lunch. The food was great. They only do steamed dumplings at lunch (not pan fried), but they were still very good. We also tried the steamed buns, which I hadn't eaten before. The bun was different than I expected, but still tasty. The meat was delicious, as was the hoosen sauce. One of us had their 2 roll comb, and really enjoyed it. Another had a poke bowl, which they had eaten before, and felt it was fantastic. I had a Mongolian Beef Bento Box, with Tempura shrimp roll and added a spring roll. Really enjoyed my meal, but didn't eat the Thai Cucumber salad, as I saw it had jalapeños and I knew that wouldn't sit well for me. Overall, we really enjoyed our food. Our service was only ok. It took quite a w

My friend and I got sushi, a salad, and the szechuan chicken. I expected it to be good, but it was way better than expected. My sushi was some of the best I've ever had, and I've eaten more than my fair share. Fresh, bite sized, high quality. The salad was also fresh and tossed in the dressing very well and was delicious. Service was fast and our waitress was very sweet. We will definitely be coming back when in the area!

After a long day at work I just just wanted to kick back and relax and enjoy the atmosphere and something light to eat. And that's exactly what I got when I walked into Cowa-Sake. I'm really impressed with thier professional, warm and very friendly service from the first person who welcomes you at the door. I sat at the sushi bar today for some delicious flavorful roll and chef JB and Conner didn't disappoint me at all. The staff are awesome!!!!!
