★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Afi Moise · Dec 2025

We order food from there before we leave right around the corner so it’s convenient but every time I did, I was a little bit disappointed. They put a lot of rice and that’s awesome, if you want a lot of rice in your order because you want rice. If you want chicken or shrimp, you might wanna go somewhere else specially if you take out, you’re not gonna see it until you come back to eat at the home. Again, I am disappointed. The only reason I gave them more than one star is because the taste is ok good. Customer service, awful. I told the owner or manager on the phone I did not call back because I want something for free. I don’t want anything. But I do want to have meat if I have to eat from outside. He told me that the meat was enough because they are measuring it all the time by ounces.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Steve Heath · Feb 2026

I cannot agree with the majority of reviews saying their sushi was good. I didn't try anything else, but after my experience, I never will. I ordered a California roll expecting a fresh, tasty roll. What I received was 6 pieces(!?) of a roll, which tasted VERY fishy and stale... and a California roll doesn't even have fish!!? Customer service was so, so... as the guy taking orders, and running the register also made the roll. Maybe something else on the menu is good.. but again, I will not be returning there, to be honest, the fresh sushi rolls from Food Lion are WAY better... lesson learned.

Ever seen that Seinfeld episode with the Soup Nazi? This place reminds me of that. The service is a little harsh, almost ride at times, but the food is so good that people line up to buy it. The food here is excellent and the prices are good as well. We get takeout from here all the time. Get the ginger sauce that’s available on the counter to the right of the drink machine. They put it in a large mustard bottle. The presentation is poor but it’s some of the best sauce you’ll ever taste.

★★★★★ 5.0 Anne Marie Talbott · Mar 2024

Pad Thai was delicious!! And the wait was 10-15 min after ordering, not bad at all. The food was warm and filling. Would definitely recommend. The speaker thing at the front counter took me a little by surprise, and I was having a hard time hearing what she was trying to say, but it worked out 🙂

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Anais Ra Ilunga · Dec 2024

The customer is not very friendly. It appears to be a family owned and operated business. Taking orders and cooking orders simultaneously is obviously challenging. The language barrier is very apparent. I would strongly suggest creating a waiting space for to go orders so that your customer is not just standing for 20 minutes or utilizing the space for dine in customers. The food was ok.
