Good service. As we walk in they greet you right away and when we’re done and about to leave, they would say thank you and bye. Our server was nice and friendly. She would come around often to check up on us with water or tea. We ordered the lobster roll, the sashimi chef special combination, the orgasm rolls, the garlic edamame, and shrimp tempura. Everything is delicious especially the lobster rolls, because it served with the sauce on top. Some place would go crazy with mayonnaise but this one, it was just right.

Bakudan Ramen – Menu with Prices – 17619 La Cantera Pkwy #208, San Antonio

Walking in, the decor is beautiful. I love the touch of Japanese culture. It’s not a very big space so if you want a seat, you better get there before 6pm. We had a great server. I don’t know his name but he was very knowledgeable and helpful in letting us know what items are popular, spicy, and his favorite. We went with a party of 8. The majority chose to get the Ramen. My son and I got the Bibimbap.We also tried various appetizers. My daughter got the vegetarian ramen. She said it was bland and had to keep adding soy sauce,which gave it a better flavor. My son got the combination bibimbap with noodles. He really enjoyed it, he loved the flavor. My hubby got the garlic tonkotsu. He was a little disappointed. Although it came out looking deliciously beautiful. It was just beautiful. He said it needed more salt. There was no flavor. He said it was meh. I had the bibimbap with shrimp and noodles. It was DELICIOUS! It did not disappoint and it had plenty of flavor. I did find that the shrimp was a little on the salty side but nonetheless very good!! My hubby and I traded dishes after a while. After tasting his dish, I really did not like it as much as I thought I would. You can definitely taste the garlic but that was the only flavor that I tasted. As much as I love garlic, this was not the best flavor for this fish. On the other hand, my hubby was satisfied with the rest of my dish. We also had the Bakudan edamame, octopus balls, gyoza, and shrimp tempura. The edamame was very good, not spicy at all. The octopus balls were interesting, not a favorite. Nobody liked the consistency or texture of this appetizer. The gyoza was nothing great. The tempura shrimp was the best item out of the appetizers. Overall, this place was alright. I would go back for the shrimp tempura, edamame, bibimbap, and the “Coke” (the use a local vendor for their sodas). Not sure what they put in their cola but I drank like 3 glasses! I don’t really drink soda so that really surprised me. Anyhow…I will be back again, at least I know what to order now.

Aji Sushi & Grill – Menu with Prices – 2360 Mendocino Ave A-1, Santa Rosa

My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of being served by Jose and Christina, the owner. We instantly felt very welcome upon being seated. Jose was quick to ask for our drinks and appetizers. We started off with a bottle of Sake, garlic edamame, oysters, miso soup, and a cucumber salad. I was very impressed with the oysters. They tasted fresh and were served on a bed of ice with a nice lemon sauce, which complimented the oyster flavor perfectly. My girlfriend also appreciated the fact that the cucumber salad actually had seaweed salad on top as well. Lastly, the garlic edamame had some good charring and served hot, which was amazing. From there, we ordered our entrees. 15 PC Sashimi: Amazing assortment of fish. This was my first time ordering sashimi in such a large quantity. Comparing and contrasting the fish in its purest form was a great learning experience for my fish preferences. Vegetable Udon Noodle Soup: It was delicious. My girlfriend especially enjoyed the flavor of the broth. She recommends adding a little soy sauce and wasabi. TNT Roll: Excellent roll for spicy enthusiasts. It had a great kick, while still letting the fish be the main event of the roll. Giliante Roll: My girlfriend enjoyed this one. She would definitely recommend! This one also had a good spiciness about it, but nothing too crazy. Lastly, we enjoyed the deep fried oreo for dessert, which is a must have in my opinion. You could cut into the Oreo so easily with the spoon. Overall this was an incredible experience and the owner Christina was so friendly! Jose did a phenomenal job checking in on us periodically and our food was prepared quickly, without sacrificing for an amazing presentation. We will certainly be coming back the next time we are in Santa Cruz, and we will probably be full until then!

Cousins Maine Lobster Raleigh – Menu with Prices – 411 W Morgan St, Raleigh

I was really looking forward to eating this tonight after seeing them on Shark Tank as well as the giant line their food truck has had at a few of the Raleigh food truck events. Between the 3 of my family members we ordered a Maine lobster roll, lobster tacos combo with tots, shrimp tacos, lobster bisque, 1 water and 1 lemonade. Total came to $55.48. The woman who took our order was friendly. This was really a mixed review of the food. I tasted all that was ordered to sample. The highlight was the lobster bisque. Very smooth consistency, great flavor and had a few pieces of chopped lobster mixed in. The lobster tacos were good as well, topped with fresh pico. The most lackluster item was unfortunately the one I personally ordered which was the cold lobster roll. The bun was nicely toasted with the perfect amount of butter to not be greasy. The lobster itself was cooked well, but really lacked seasoning. What surprised me most though was that it appeared to have no mayonnaise. The first few bites I took I didn’t taste any…then I realized it was globed on the bottom of the bun and the lobster placed on top. I hate to say it, but it was rather unappetizing (see pic). My suggestion would be for the lobster to be mixed with a seasoned mayonnaise mixture and also to throw on some traditional celery leaves. The slaw had potential, but really lacked seasoning as well. Lastly, the shrimp tacos, like the lobster ones, had great flavor. They were loaded, but with TINY shrimp. My husband agreed he would’ve rather had 5-6 medium/large shrimp to actually have something to bite in to, rather than several extra small shrimp.

Sushi Gone Wild – Menu with Prices – 24004 Vista Montana, Torrance

[Review #392] 2019 Yelp 100 Challenge (42/100) I enjoyed a fantastic dinner with fellow Yelper, Eriko N., who is also connected to the owner, Mr. Kim. She said I had to meet this cool guy… our ritual girls night out was spent at Sushi Gone Wild. No, this isn’t “girls gone wild,” but it’s a family-friendly & easygoing establishment that makes you feel welcomed. Last night, we had 3 plates of sushi: MONSTER ROLL (in: shrimp, crab; out: spicy tuna, avocado, eel, teriyaki sauce, onion, smelt egg, sesame seed, sriracha), NINJA MAKI ROLL (5 kinds of fish & crab, mango; out: cucumber with ponzu sauce & Japanese dressing), & LOBSTER (CRAWFISH) ROLL (in: shrimp tempura roll, crab; out: baked crawfish, onion, smelt egg, teriyaki sauce, sesame seed, pepper mayo sauce). This isn’t your traditional omakase sushi restaurant with fish flown in from around-the-world’s oceans… Sushi Gone Wild serves up unique rolls that’s atypical of Urasawa, n/naka, or Nozawa Bar, they’re more mom & pop with a decent size menu of classic & specialty rolls. The Ninja Maki Roll was light & refreshing, & it reminded me of the Oishii Roll at ODS. The Monster Roll was a monster of a roll that’s just savory & spicy enough. I really liked how the pepper mayo binded the ingredients of the Crawfish Roll & the crispiness of the shrimp tempura… no, it’s not lobster; I think they should just rename the dish as Crawfish Roll. We finished the night with a ball of GREEN TEA TEMPURA ICE CREAM; I really like the taste of the batter, but it was slightly too thick. Halfway through dinner, we ran into a couple of friends & joined our tables. It was a fun night with great company, & Mr. Kim, the owner, bought a couple rounds of sake! I, Kim, even got a pic with Mr. Kim… LOLã?½(*â?¿*)ã?? I’m guessing he’s very popular & has a lot of regulars because a lot of customers were toasting him. =) If you’re looking for quality sushi rolls & a chill vibe, then look no further than Sushi Gone Wild & its friendly staff serving up delish food. For a small sushi joint, they were jam-packed all night long until closing so come early & grab a seat! Recommended: Lobster (Crawfish) Roll & Ninja Maki Roll.

Wasabi Sushi & Noodles – Menu with Prices – 3654 Airport Blvd, Mobile

Stopped in here today for lunch with the family. Got the bento box lunch with Shrimp Tempura. It was delicious! The only thing I didn’t expect was the sauce you dip your tempura into was cold. I have usually only had a warmed sauce to dip it in. This was a tiny bit off-putting as I don’t think that’s traditionally how it is served. However, the Panko breadcrumb coating on the shrimp was perfect, The dumplings were super tasty, the salad has a lovely tangy ginger sauce, and the California roll was as expected. My favorite part of the meal was, however, the tempura veggies- an onion ring, a sweet potato slice, and a nice sized tree of broccoli(my absolute favorite). We will come back, I think.

Sushi Misong – Menu with Prices – 2300 Pleasant Hill Rd STE B3, Duluth

This new sushi restaurant replaced what used to be Dragon BBQ. They have kept the dragon mural up, which is no surprise since it’s an amazing piece of art, but it doesn’t really match the name of the restaurant (literally translates to beautiful pine tree – according to my mother lol!). Regardless, my dining experience here was nice. There are tables that are out in the open as well as sectioned off rooms for a bit more privacy, which was really nice. The service is alright, they check on you here and there, but there is a bell on the table that you can ring if you need anything else. Since they just opened not too long ago, they have a list of items on their lunch special menu for $8.99, which isn’t too bad since some of the options sound pretty delicious. (Lunch is monday through sunday from 11:30-3:00) I tried the Fresh Sashimi Course lunch combo which included sashimi, spicy soup(fish bone soup- be careful of the bones), shrimp tempura, grilled fish, sushi, squid stir fry, and fish roe rice. They also served some rice porridge and steamed egg as appetizers, which was nice. I added a bit of soy sauce to my rice porridge since it was a little bland. The steamed egg was mediocre. For the sashimi, they served really thin pieces of flounder. In korean, the name of flounder is “gwang-uh”, and I believe this is the typical sashimi they serve with the combos. The sushi that was served was also flounder, so I thought that was interesting. I assumed it would have been an assortment of different sushi’s, but regardless, it was still delicious. The dish that stood out the most to me was the tempura. I thought it was perfectly fried, and the size of the shrimp was perfect as well. The roe rice was nice mixed with a little bit of the spicy gochujang sauce that is on the table. Overall, the food, service, and experience here at misong was good. 3.5 stars for me, but I hope to have a better experience the next time I eat here.

Sushi On Chapel – Menu with Prices – 1022 Chapel St # C, New Haven

This spot was okay to me. It was VERY difficult to find since Yelp/Google’s walking GPS took me past it a bunch of times on two different streets. Turns out, this place is basically underground. It’s a bit dark and grungy, but it did mean that it was pretty warm for the cold day outside. I was thrown back by the prices. A sweet potato tempura roll, at every other place I’ve been to, has been under $6. Usually between $4-5.50, here it’s $8. Then the “special rolls” are $10-15, which to me is outrageous seeing as though this isn’t gourmet sushi. For the price, I was disappointed with atmosphere. I had seen a couple photos on Yelp, one with scallops specifically and I came here for that one roll, turns out “they changed their menu last week” and didn’t have the rolls I wanted. Bummer. I choose two other rolls, the Sweet Potato Tempura and the Crazy Roll. The purple rice was different, especially since I didn’t ask for it. I feel that should be an option, not a standard. Still, it was good sushi and had a unique taste. I don’t think I’d come back because of price, but it definitely has a unique taste down to their eel sauce. If you’re willing to pay extra for that, this may be the place for you.

Sushi Express – Menu with Prices – 610 University Ave, Madison

As always, Sushi Express is exactly what it claims to be-affordable sushi that is still delicious! You really can’t beat Sushi Express’ prices at $8.75 for two rolls. Although I’ve tried almost every roll there is to offer under this combo, I’d have to say my favorites are the spicy California, shrimp tempura, sweet potato tempura, and the Alaska roll. Their rolls are consistently good and fresh at a truly unbeatable price (and only $1 with no minimum for delivery!) I wouldn’t go as far to say that their sushi is gourmet or as good as, say, Red, but this place manages to offer bargain sushi that is still solid and won’t give you food poisoning. I’d also recommend the roll-combos as opposed to the specialty rolls, which are slightly less good. Sushi can occasionally arrive at room temperature but that hasn’t been a deal breaker. I’ve never been let down by Sushi Express in all 4 years of being a loyal customer. Would recommend their crab Rangoon as well-seriously the best I’ve ever had!

Sekai Sushi – Menu with Prices – 1017 S Gilbert Rd #109, Mesa

One of my favorite Thai spots. I come here 2 times a month. The happy hour has a LOT of great items to try, including a couple premium rolls and sashimi. I love their salmon sashimi! In fact I was not interesting in raw fish at all until I brought my friend her one day an he convinced me to try it. I was sold on the salmon. It took me a few more months to work up the courage to try it again, but I loved it! Josh the owner an his workers and very nice and friendly. They are a great group of people. Give this place a try! Everyone I have taken here loves and raves about it. The salmon dynamite (mild spicyness) , scallop dynamite, Vegas, shrimp tempura and Super Tiger rolls are all great! The Baked Salmon roll is really nice. I did not like the Philly roll. The only complaint I have is that lately the the Vegas roll comes out room temp, even slightly cold. A few time I had it and the tempura coating was soft and squishy, not crunchy at all… Like it was premade and refrigerated. It wasn’t like this in 2018 so I don’t know what happened. It only tastes good when its made-to-order, hot and freshly fried. I hope they go back to making them fresh. The complimentary miso soup is hit or miss. Sometimes is delicious and rich, with the flavor of green onion coming through nicely. Other times its watery and bland. I subtracted 1 star for the change in quality of the Vegas rolls, inconsistent miso soup and constantly changing wait staff. Maybe it’s hard to keep people in Mesa, but I’ve seen at least 6 different people in and out as servers over the past 1 year. It would be nice to get to know the staff and keep seeing them, to get that small community feel. Otherwise it’s an all around great sushi restaurant that is worth eating at.

Sumo Hibachi Express – Menu with Prices – 3092 Michigan Ave, Kissimmee

Japanese food requires finesse but in this case there was no food craft. If you want quantity at a good price, then this is your kind of place. I was so excited to try this place and I thought the restaurant lobby was appealing. However for me taste and texture is the important factor which was lacking. I ordered edamame. It was a good quantity and was warm. However it had absolutely no flavor. It seemed they might have microwaved some frozen edamame and sprinkled it with some type of seasoning pepper. I saw sesame seeds and pepper but very little and nothing infused into the pods. The combo was served with an egg roll. It had been fried in old oil and one end seemed burned or like they left it in a fryer basket. It was barely warm. I took a bite but then decided not to swallow. Egg rolls can be tough to get right and this seemed like they fried a bunch at once for the lunch rush. I got the shrimp hibachi lunch and substituted noodles for the rice. I thought the quantity was a good deal for the price. This consisted of shrimp, fried zucchini and onions served over noodles. The zucchini was good and there were a few onions. Generally I think of hibachi as mixed vegetables. The shrimp were large and rubbery. The texture was poor so I only ate one. The noodles were just plain bizarre. They had a hot flavor and I struggled to pinpoint the ingredients. Closest I could come was soy sauce mixed with hot sauce. I hate to waste but I threw out the edamame, egg roll and shrimp container right there in restaurant. I cannot remember the last time I did this. Many times I will take it home to see if it suits my husband’s taste. I took the chicken and rice home to my husband and he thought it was OK. So not a total loss. The service was good. I called ahead and ordered via the phone and my food was packaged nicely and accurate. I had to request the drink that came with my combination. One of my favorite restaurants that I enjoy is next to a gas station in Hunter’s Creek. I recommend that little place to anyone seeking good sushi. Unfortunately this restaurant does not seem to have the same quality standards.

Tsunami Sushi & Hibachi – Menu with Prices – 114 N Tennessee Ave #101, Lakeland

I’d have to say over all this place is just ok. The soup that all our meals came with was the miso soup and no one at our table liked it, no one ate it. The ginger salad it dame with was good though. The crab Rangoon was AMAZING one of the best I’ve ever had. You could actually taste the sweet crab in it and not just a bunch of cream cheese. The dumplings were good as well, nothing special but we all liked them. I ordered the sushi number 2 lunch combo that came with the scorpion roll and Florida roll, they were good but not my fav only because I do not like the rolls with fried stuff, I’d prefer raw sushi. Also it said it had cream cheese in the scorpion roll but there was barley any in like 2 of the rolls and the rest had none. My con worker got the Maki lunch combo which came with a phili roll and tempura roll. The seaweed in the Phili roll was very chewy but had a great amount of cream cheese. The tempura roll was fried and it was my friends favorite of all but she still didn’t love it. The ramen was absolutely awful. It literally tasted like pork, veggies and noodles in water. It had NO flavor. My friend and I literally did not eat it. I told the waitress once and she said she would let them know in the back, when she came back to the table to ask about checks she said who’s check is the ramen going on. I asked her did you let them know in the back the ramen was awful and she said I’ll do that now. She came back with a man that had an attitude because we didn’t like it and tried to argue with me saying I’ve never had the miso broth before because they all taste like water… not true. We finally got them to take it off the bill. One more thing, my other co worker ordered a shrimp tempura roll but received a crab tempura roll. When she asked about what was in it the waitress said shredded shrimp lol. I said there is no way that is shrimp, it is red and white. It then took about 20 mins to get her correct roll.

OSHA AUTHENTIC THAI AND SUSHI BAR Menu with Prices 2201 N Federal Hwy, Boca Raton

Another great find in East Boca… Being hungry makes you find good places, I guess. Woke up late on a Sunday, and didn’t have time to have breakfast before leaving the house. By 2pm I was starving! Thankfully my boyfriend had taken the time to look on yelp for a place to have lunch. We were debating if to eat in or take out. As soon as we parked, the place wasn’t busy, and it looked nice so we decided to stay in. Got a booth table next to the window, and immediately got some ice water served. We got time to look at the menu, and everything looked delicious! A wide assortment of Japanese and Thai dishes, including appetizers, rolls, noodles, salads, and more. They also offer lunch specials and happy hour until 7pm. We noticed they served some rice-less rolls so we opted for that, trying to be healthy and avoid the extra carbs. The Three Ocean Roll was our favorite. You honestly won’t miss the rice at all on this one. This is a Tuna, salmon and white fish all in one roll, full of flavor, wrapped in seaweed Sashimi roll – this one is the same as the above but with avocado and wrapped in cucumber. Plating is really with ponzu sauce on the bottom of the dish. I did enjoy this one but not as flavorful as the first one and smaller in size. Which made us think it was a bit overpriced (This was $9.99 for 5 pieces, the Three Ocean $11.99 for 10pcs). Sashimi Appetizer – you can choose between tuna, salmon, and white fish. Make a combination of all 3, pick 2, of just one. Prices vary depending on your pick but the amount of pieces is the same. Sashimi is served over ice with ginger and wasabi on the side, and some garnish for presentation. Service was quick and so was the kitchen. Our food came out fast, and we left happy we found another place for us to eat in the area.
