"I 've passed by this place a million times and never went in...its a little hole in the wall sort of dive bar /restaurant kind off the grid. I found out they have comedy nights for local comedians every once in a while...being bored with nothing to do in these parts I went. The comedy show was decent...the inside of the bar/restaurant is really old nothing is updated but it seems pretty clean and people who come in seem pretty friendly. The owners seem very nice as well. On a whim one day passing by during the day I wanted to go and try their restaurant. I checked out their menu which by the way has an a nice variety of food. Sushi is one of my fave foods and they have sushi and other Japanese type foods. Authentic Japanese restaurants are rare in this area. One sign that they were pretty close authentic (in a fast food kind of way) is they 'actually ' had Unagi Donburi on the menu I was shocked! I decided to take a chance and order it. I ordered the Unagi and California rolls. The Unagi Donburi is over priced at $14.95 for the small/medium portion size although it tasted pretty good. The California rolls were priced good for their portion and size of the roll. Being from California where sushi is king their prices and portion size don 't really fit. But I 'm not in Cali am I? Lol! The flavor was really good on both the sushi and Unagi Donburi. I will definitely go here for Japanese flavor when I 'm in the mood for it. This place is not what I 'm used to but they 're good... if your in the neighborhood give them a try."

I have come here many nights and it is lots of fun with the dance floor and people. I didn't eat but drinks are good
User
I dunno if I wanna go back. The bartender made the drinks super super strong and there were two guys in the back joking about roofieing one of us (my sister, mutual friend, and I).

This restaurant has karaoke every day and the drinks are served cold. They have pool tables and a dance floor, and the bartender is really cool. Plus, they’re open late, making it a reliable spot to hang out. View menu

Our favorite spot for a great time! The food was delicious, and the drinks were excellent. The atmosphere is very cool. It's an older bar, and the patrons are friendly. The hostess is fantastic. Rating: 5/5 for the food!
User
This place is terrible! Never been in there, but live across the streetAfter bar closes they allow their very drunk patrons to hang out in the parking lot. Fights! Screaming! Bumping their stereos! Racing! They should not allow people to loiter!

Spent a lot of money here even gave money to an employee here to help with rent during the covid along with a so called friend. I was a great customer but since I didn't fit in with the owners click and gossip and talk about people I was set up to be 86. Best thing that happened to me. I found real true businesses with great people that deserve me. Thank you View menu

Was craving sushi this place was open later on postmates than other places. I was a bit apprehensive because of some of these reviews but felt most were old decided to roll the dice. We would definitely eat here again. It's not ~fancy fancy~, it's maybe not the absolute fresh freshhest, but it's definitely tasty a decent price point. Plus the rolls mean BIG when they say big. Whatever dipping sauce is paired with the egg roll is delicious af. That might have been my favorite part honestly.

The restaurant didn't quite meet my expectations. It had a large room with a few pool tables, and I went specifically for karaoke, but I was the only one there. I was informed that it was the cooks' night off, so my ordering options were very limited. The bartender also doubled as the cook for my meal. I chose Bento Box #1, which included teriyaki chicken, gyoza, an egg roll, salad, and steamed rice. Overall, it was just decent; the chicken's texture made me question whether it was fully cooked. However, the egg roll was fantastic—crispy and delicious. I would definitely return just for the egg roll!
