★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Donny Barley · Dec 2025

We asked what the difference between egg rolls and vegetable rolls was and server said cabbage and celery. We ordered egg rolls and there was shrimp in it. Not only is my wife shellfish allergic it was filled with unclean shrimp, see pic. To serve food with knowingly poop in it should be persecuted heavily. Disgusting.

Great spot for Sushi, Maki rolls, Pork gyoza, Udon, and many other Asian cuisines! The sushi came out very fast, before other apps which was surprising but welcome! We recommend the Celtic, and Spicy Mango Tuna rolls — but to each their own! Will definitely be coming again!

Had a great takeout experience here. We ordered crab rangoons, beef teriyaki sticks, egg rolls, chicken lo mein, and sesame chicken—everything was incredibly fresh and full of flavor. The meat was juicy and you could tell it was made to order. Even as takeout, the food held up really well. The card machines were having a small issue when we picked up, so we weren’t able to leave a tip since we didn’t have cash, but that didn’t take away from an otherwise excellent experience. We’ll definitely be ordering again.

Stopped by here for lunch for the first time in several years. No Buffet anymore. No wonder the parking lot was empty. The options for 'Luncheon Specials' was short and uninspired, so I elected to order off the main menu. Went for a Seafood Udon Noodle Soup. The quality of the ingredients seemed to be good, but it was the blandest broth ever. Practically had no flavor. Not much more than hot water. I understand not wanting to overpower the subtle taste of seafood, but this both was so bland any flavor in the seafood had leached out. There were no condiments (soy, miso, chili, anything) on any of the tables that would have allowed me to try to liven it up. Maybe I ordered the wrong dish, but it was the most flavorless meal I ever had. By the way, the waitress was great, I just d
