| - UNBELIEVABLE! I grew up as a child through high school at Kent, Ohio. Downtown Kent always was a quaint, artsy and stylish location with a plethora of shops and restaurants. I traveled back to my hometown after 30 years to find this GEM of an Asian fusion, and AUTHENTIC restaurant blessing Main Street!
I was dubious at first, questioning how there could ever be a really good sushi restaurant in Kent, Ohio - Tree City. I was pleasantly proven SO wrong!
I walked into the well decorated, and soothing establishment that exuded contemporary fashion with ceramic natural wood textured flooring, and classical music playing in the background. Even at lunch time, the restaurant was well attended with hungry patrons.
Now onto the food: I have a Chinese and Thai ethnic background, I love sushi and have had the pleasure of sushi indulging in these raw delicacies across the US. This restaurant provided all the assortment of sushi I would come to expect from a premiere sushi establishment. I ordered the sea weed salad (wonderful crispness with a nest of fresh radish embedded), uni (in Kent! Rich melt-in-your-mouth yoke-like flavor), mackerel, salmon roe (fresh and moist), and sea bass (tender) a la carte, along with the tempura jumbo pacific oysters (very well encrusted with flavorful tempura batter; plump oysters!), and Naruto roll (yellow tail, avocado, fish roe, wrapped in cucumber and resting in a delicate pool of Yuzu sauce).
Looking at their menu, there are SO many dishes I wanted to still try, ranging from Malaysian, Thai, Japanese, and Chinese - all hitting in the mark of dishes that inspire Asian taste buds. Looking for noodle dishes (dry or soupy), they deliver. Looking for specialty drinks, so many boba (YES, in Kent!) options.
Service was excellent, fast, friendly! Portion sizes were larger than expected, especially the seaweed salad!
I look forward to visiting my home town again, with a newfound excitement
to revisit this special place.
THANK YOU!
