Best KPortal Reviews
I love this place! I love the people, the food and atmosphere! I moved close by about 9 years ago and this is my go-to sushi hibachi and ramen restaurant! If you like sushi, you need to try the summer blossom and the black and pink roll. If you like cooked rolls the Yellow Submarine is the best, YUM!
Had a lovely dinner. The staff was friendly, and the restaurant was relatively quiet. The food was delicious .
Decoration was really good.
Decor was beautiful and really fit the theme. Also loved the radio/soundtrack with chill dance music.
Service is lacking. I ordered the second drink as i enjoyed the first. The 2nd drink was sweet and very lighter than 1st..this was really unacceptable... I tasted it, and it was rank, like it was mixed with grapefruit or something, ..
Prices are $..
Free parking lot.
First let me say the atmosphere of this restaurant is something many restaurants struggle to achieve, but it is beautiful in many ways. I am making this review however to help this restaurant, not to harm it. I want to make that clear before my next statements.
The food was good, but the amount of time that it took to actually be asked about what entrees we would like was painfully long. We were essentially just asked about drinks for a solid hour. By the time the food arrived we had already been in the restaurant for an hour and a half. The food was decent, but honestly no different from what you could get at an unlimited sushi restaurant at least from the food I got, I wanted to try the rock grilled chicken but unfortunately it was unavailable?
Some parts of the restaurant were also not well lit when they should have been such as the restaurant, but I believe that the poor lighting may have been used as cover for some troubling aspects of the restaurant. The rest room had one stall out of service, the smell of mildew in the air meaning it was not being properly cleaned and this was even before the restaurant filled up. You could barely see the sink until your eyes adjusted to how dark the bathroom was.
The painful wait to be served as well as the restroom quality is why I am giving this 3 stars, I can very much see this restaurant turning around with a stable flow of customers. My main things I would say to the business owner is to hire a maid to properly deep clean the restrooms, address the lighting in the restrooms and work on the service time. Not everyone has the patience to stay in a restaurant for 4 hours only to receive a glass of wine and a pretty slim dinner portion that was eaten in under 10 minutes.
Let me just say though the atmosphere was intoxicating and if this place is properly taken care of in the future, this could evolve to become closer to a 5 star review.
Also as a side note to increase customer traffic, work on getting the parking lot properly paved with proper markings for parking so that people know this restaurant is indeed open for business, driving past it would be hard to tell with people parking practically anywhere they found gravel.
Super cool atmosphere, food was pretty good, service was decent. Some things felt dated and like they could be upgraded, the red chairs and menus looked rough. My girlfriend and I went for a late Valentine’s day dinner and had a great time. We’ll definitely go back. There also has to be some lore about this place somewhere…
This restaurant has branches, and we have been to another one. The decoration is beautiful, the place is clean, and the food is good. But this one is really bad. You can smell the old smell as soon as you enter. The toilet is the worst, smelly and unclean. I ordered three beef teriyaki and medium rare, but what I tasted was almost cooked. Some of the other rice and side dishes were also very salty. I went there on Mother's Day but there were no customers. I will never go here again.
Amazing vibe and atmosphere. Food is soooo good, the Malaysian Thai Curry and Pad Thai noodles are a must try!!
Had a lovely new years eve dinner. Staff was friendly and restaurant was relatively quiet. Food was delicious with lots of different options I haven't normally seen on menus before. Decor was beautiful and really fit the theme. Also loved the radio/soundtrack with chill dance music.
Our server Caleb was outstanding! We just left after having our Rutgers Graduation celebration with friends and family at Asa. The food and service was amazing! Our whole party LOVED their meals and drinks. We highly recommend!
