Food was pretty good with no huge dips in quality, appropriate portions for the amount paid. Waitress was nice, although she seemed to have a limited knowledge of English(not enough to make ordering difficult, but at least enough to be noticeable) Seems like it was designed more for take out or drive through than dine in, as the food was served in to-go boxes. Overall, the atmosphere seemed not welcoming, but not unwelcoming either. Hibachi and sushi were mid, rangoons were excellent, and it seemed like they made their own yum yum sauce. Solid 4/5 Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $20–30

Haven’t been here in forever so decided that my husband and I should go. Last time I came here, it was a few years back and I ate with my uncle. The vibe has not changed! I absolutely love their inside decor and everything is very clean within this establishment. The food is amazing and is served very quickly! I’ve seen some people not enjoy how the food is served in takeout plates or cups, but I lowkey enjoy this! It makes it easy to pack up your leftovers after dining in. I also loved just getting to sip my soup out of a little to-go cup (helpful since I’m always accidentally spilling something). The waiters and waitresses do speak limited English, but it is not much of an issue when you order! They can quickly pick up on what you’re trying to say or order most times.

Can’t rate the food because we never got that far. Stood inside at counter for 10 minutes and never got acknowledged. It was like we were invisible. Our 1st time in Tupelo and definitely not impressed by this restaurant. Would rate lower if it was an option. Save your time, and go somewhere that actually cares about having customers.

I popped in for a late lunch with my daughter and we were starving. The place was expectedly quiet for our 3pm arrival, but we were seated quickly by our waitress and attended to swiftly. I ordered the 2 roll sushi lunch that came with soup and salad and an egg roll appetizer for the kiddo. Everything was served in to-go boxes, with the soup in a cup, salad in a styrofoam container, and very flimsy plastic utensils in a bag. The ginger dressing on the simple iceberg and carrots shaving salad was good. The soup wasn't very flavorful, but was hot and had plenty of mushrooms floaters...needed salt. I got the Pacific roll and Philadelphia roll, but neither were great. I didn't finish either because the Pacific didn't taste like much and the Philadelphia had very, very tough salmon. It won't be my go-to sushi place, but I did talk to another patron with a heaping styrofoam to-go box of hibachi chicken w/ noodles that said it was good, just wasn't as flavorful as she hoped. She added soy sauce and yum yum that was available on the table. The egg rolls tasted like they were frozen and from a bag, so definitely not something we will get again. Hopeful for a better experience next time, but would order something different. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $1–10
I honestly would have chose another restaurant. Took a while for our food to get there. I got the shrimp fried rice, I've had better. Place is nice. Bathroom has a very dim light. Honestly would have gone to steak n' shake instead. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20 Food: 3 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 4

I've been back a few times. Love the food, prices and combinations offered, but they really need to work on the service. Each time I've been here, the same waitress, has problems delivering the orders together and forgets something. 🍣🍜😉** UPDATE** Been eating here for almost 2 years now. They only offer food to go but they've never messed up an order, actually the food is excellent and I hope they one day let us eat indoors. LOVE THESE GUYS A+ Service Take out Meal type Lunch Price per person $20–30
Very friendly staff with an extensive menu. I ordered the dinner bento box with pork katsu. It came with a salad with was average and a choose of clear or miso soup. I chose the clear soup which was a broth of onions and mushroom...it was ok-ish. The bento box with the California roll and fried rice was very good and the pork katsu itself was really yummy! The ambience needs a face-lift but other than that, I would come here again! 😊

Not like it used to be. Teriyaki chicken was tough and dry and looked fake. Obviously frozen. Food: 2 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 3
