I think I come here at least twice a week at this point. Without fail I always get the Philly roll which is delicious. I’ve had their crab rangoons, steak hibachi, miso soup, and gyoza too all of which were 10/10 and it’s all very affordable. Totally recommend trying this place out!

We had really high hopes for this place. Even though it’s a quick-service restaurant and more budget-friendly, we were expecting a better experience. Unfortunately, we must have visited on an off night. My rice was hard, the steak tasted like it had been reheated, and some of the vegetables were cold in spots. The staff was very friendly, and there’s plenty of parking in the large lot, which was a plus. My husband ordered sushi and said it was good, so that may be the better option. If you’re planning to get the steak hibachi, I’d recommend going during a busier time when the food is likely being made fresh. Unfortunately, based on our experience, we probably won’t be back.

We were so excited to discover this restaurant in Ocala! The owner previously owned one of our absolute favorite sushi spots in Sarasota, so we had high expectations and it did not disappoint. The sushi is incredibly fresh and delicious, and everything we’ve tried has been excellent. We love the setup because it’s quick and convenient, you order at the counter and they bring it right to you. It’s perfect when you want great food without having to sit and wait at a table. That said, the atmosphere is beautiful great décor, lovely ambiance, and very thoughtfully done. This place has become a go-to for us during our children’s swim meets. We get our sushi fix, and the kids love the hibachi options with great protein choices. It’s a win for everyone. The staff is beyond friendly everyone is kind, welcoming, and makes you feel like family the moment you walk in. We’re so happy to support this restaurant and highly recommend it to anyone looking for amazing sushi, hibachi, and a wonderful overall experience. 🍣🍱🩷😋

Uh OH! I found my new favorite place for lunch! Came from my office and went to lunch by myself today! It was hot, fresh, quick and delicious!!! 😋 I wish I had brought some co-workers! They have a very affordable lunch menu for the hibachi! Order at the counter for dine in or take out. The dining in option was perfect for me! Comfortable, nice atmosphere and clean. Need extra sauce, just ask! I had the Steak Lunch Hibachi and it came with fried rice, perfectly cooked vegetables (onion, broccoli and zucchini with mushrooms) and it came with a Ginger Salad starter while I waited for my beeper to let me know my meal was ready! I wonder if they offer Door Dash?? It would be a thing!!! Yum yum sauce was perfect for dipping! Go get you some! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The service was great and kudos to whoever is sending that out of the kitchen!
