| - Who would know this little place ever existed?! It is so eloquently hidden in the corner of strip mall that has gone to shit.
Being the person that I am, I decided to try this place out (why does it seem like I am always reviewing Asian Cuisine? This is beyond me).
What a pleasant surprise! To start, my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE thing about this place is the guy behind the counter, who I am guessing is the owner. I think he just may be the reason I continue to come back. Usually, we place orders over the phone for take-out, and I love to hear his familiar and peculiar voice on the other end, repeating my order back to me. It's as if he smiles ALL the time! I do not think I have ever seen this guy in a bad mood, not once!
On to the food, pricing, blah blah blah. JK. For the price range, this food is excellent. I am a personal fan of the gyoza, passion iced tea, and your basic (and not so professional in terms of the "sushi" world) Alaskan roll and California roll. They are very affordable and generally taste amazing.
For the balla on a budget: go with the Bento dish. It has EVERYTHING you could ever ask for in a meal: teriyaki chicken over steamed veggies and rice, edamame, california rolls, eggroll, spicy beef over salad (which by the way has an amazing sauce). I can't quite remember if anything else comes with it. It is only $6.25!!! I could not even finish the whole meal for lunch on my own.
Other items of interest: if you get your meal to go, be sure to ask for the red spiced pepper seasoning salt. I think I sprinkle this on everything I get from there. If you eat inside, they have them at the tables. Which, speaking of the inside, it is a little odd. They have random poles near the cash register...ODD.
I definitely recommend this place to anyone. I have not tried much of the other food, but from what my friends and co-workers say, it has been delicious every time (especially the Kalbi steak).
