Came here for "happy hour" that was advertised on the door. (See photo) where buy 2 rolls get 1 free and if you purchase an entrée it comes with a free side. Suffice to say, place needs to be more straightforward in its advertising, enough said. The place is quaint enough, from the outside it gives the presence of a restaurant but its more fast food in actual delivery. I would agree that the cooked food is definitely the way to go and is failry good. The sushi is on par with grocery store sushi, but the bowls are more the tasty option. The price point is fair if you're knowing what you're getting.
It took several iterations to get our food. Felt like a timing issue or just not enough staff to get order ready even if the place was relatively empty. Overall service was friendly and the bowls were the better option just some quality control issues.
Food came in the wrong vessel. Box that the food was served in, was dirty. The food was cold. All the tables are sticky. Half of the restaurant is a storage area. The chairs are dirty and scuffed. The window sills has spots of meals past. The service was impeccable. The employees are all beautiful, responsible and attentive. The employees all deserve raises. The soundtrack slapped. Parking is a pit of despair.
I got a noodle bowl with katsu and it was so crispy!! The orange sauce came in a pretty big bowl and everything was so good. I really enjoyed the noodles...a little bit dry because I'm used to saucy noodles but it was still really good! Me and boyfriend loved the green beans! Literally the best in the whole dish. Portions were very fulfilling and satisfying! I've eaten here three times and I definitely keep coming back!
Be aware! They take card only !! I came in with cash once and had to put it in my card, which was on me!
This restaurant offers cafeteria style dining. It's a very clean restaurant that is located in Downtown St. Petersburg. Our service was friendly and accommodating. Our food was prepared and served promptly. The best part of dinner dinner was my husband's company... ME! ???? JK
The Bento portion is generous and food is tasty, not the best, but for fast food, can't expect much. They also have other items which equally decent for the price.
Update: Dine in is available and some tables are marked not to use for social distancing. The place is clean and no bathroom usage for cleanliness reason. Soda machine is not available for the same reason. I got the for bowls special and food is tasty. However, did got my order mixed up. They are busy with the take out and could be the reason. Service is very good.
Update: 10/22
Only found out the special from the website. Set price for 4 entrees. Decent deal
Staff was friendly and helpful. The interior was designed well, clean and very welcoming. Unfortunately I was expecting a restaurant and this was more of a fast food place. Ordered the Udon Noodle soup with shrimp and chicken. The meats were breaded and deep fried, not cooked in the soup. The spoon was too small to use eating the soup. Asked for larger spoon but none available. Perhaps the bowls or stir fry would be more appealing.
I gave 2 stars because this place used to make their bowls jammed packed with food. When I ordered the broccoli / chicken bowl it was packed with broccoli/chicken/carrots - it was a great value and you got a lot of food. BUT now they’ve changed that and there’s hardly any chicken/broccoli - it’s mostly ALL rice!!!!! UGH! I used to love this place but I won’t be ordering any more— I don’t want a bowl of all rice with hardly any meat or veggies!! The food taste great but there’s hardly any meat or veggies —- it’s mostly rice!!!!!
Great food the miso soup was great so were the Krab wontons and the fried rice with breaded shrimp
