★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Cassandra Griffie · Dec 2025

Caution!!! Don't eat here!!! I don't think I have ever ate nastier food. Everything tasted spoiled. A lot of it was dried out. Most items weren't made with all the ingredients. Instead of replacing the dried out food they just put newer food in it and mixed it up. Sushi had hard rice in it. The steak and peppers had some kind of slime residue. Bathroom looked dirty and nasty. Payed $34 for two people and I threw up everything I was able to actually swallow. Most of it was spit back out in napkins. Truthfully only one small piece of fish and what was supposed to be a crab ragoon (without crab so basically cream cheese) was the only thing I got down. The mushrooms were just full of barely cooked cream cheese. To scared to try the hibachi area the meat was already brown and had an odor.

Food was very very very mediocre. It was done, served at a decent temperature, and edible. Service is better than decent. Price was very high for what it was. Mediocre

This establishment needs cleaning, the floors were sticky, the glass around sitting area was nasty. The children that come should be accompanied by adults only. Saw children taking jello and cookies with bare hands after little girl picked her nose. Totally disgusting, told staff but I don't think she understood, she did change the jello, or cookies and this child mother had long hair, she was talking with another adult and swinging her hair over the cold food bar. This place needs to be closed down, or change rules. Parents needs to be clean & teach their children to be clean. This was totally unacceptable.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Shannon · Aug 2025

I hate that its the only option in Nicholasville, we usually drive to lexington but sometimes we are to tired to drive all the way to lex. Food is okay, some dishes are actually good, but the service and atmosphere are garbage. The guy up front is so impatient and seems annoyed by customers. The staff in general seems to hate life. The restaurant is old and boring. Honestly, this place is where hospitality comes to die. And all of this is piled ontop of the fact that it is ridiculously overpriced for what it is. 2 stars for decent food.

I am a fan favorite of 2 things crab ragoon and coconut chicken or shrimp they had chicken, it was a thumbs down it was hard and cold, sesame chicken was too and countless others. However the crab ragoon was fire and the stuffed mushrooms too. Service after seating not nice and they clearly said a derogatory comment not in English not going back
