While I wouldn't consider myself an expert in authentic Asian cuisine, I have to say this is one of the best places I've been to. The food is served piping hot, and although I can't comment on the sushi, the spring rolls and dumplings that accompanied my bento box were outstanding, and the chicken was delicious too. It is on the pricier side; I opted for the chicken bento box, which was on sale, and my total came to $9.92, including a small drink. The restaurant is very clean and has a calming atmosphere. The service was also prompt and friendly.

While sushi isn't the standout feature of this restaurant, they do have three options available. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality—it’s certainly better than what you’d get at a gas station or many grocery stores. The flavors were enjoyable, and considering the portion sizes, it was a good value. The veggie spring roll was also delicious. I would definitely recommend giving it a try!

My friend and I sampled the bento box, and we thought it was quite good. I opted for the shrimp tempura roll, which was decent, although I’ve had better at other places. For a fast-casual chain restaurant, it’s definitely not bad and very affordable. I would recommend it to anyone seeking a quick meal while craving Japanese food.
