"I have been coming to this place for about three and a half years now, it is my absolute favorite for when I crave sushi or anything fish related. I love eating raw or cooked fish (I could eat it every day , and to me this place has the freshest fish I have ever consumed. Literally every two weeks I track my paycheck so I know if I have enough to splurge on their all you can eat (which I have to get every time, it's so worth it with all the things I can eat, literally in HEAVEN when it's fat fish night . I could go on and on about how amazing and tasty their food is, but I also have to give a shout-out to the staff there. They are one of the kindest, chill, and welcoming people I have ever met in a restaurant environment. They are so sweet, they even bring us little sides of avocado and rice for my 8 month old to try! Anytime I have family or friends coming from out of town, I always make them come here to this special place!Some things to know if you were thinking of AYCE:1. Everyone has to agree to AYCE (this is to avoid someone mooching off a person who ordered AYCE but they didn’t, which happens OFTEN in other places 2. They will require a reservation to book AYCE (helps them prep, you order in waves of 3 so they try to prep each wave for your table at the same time .I’ve found that other establishments have started or have already begun to pick up these requirements for AYCE to make it a smooth and sincere experience for both customers and restaurants. Just some helpful advice for fellow sushi lovers!"

"This all-you-can-eat (AYCE) hotpot experience stands out because you have to serve yourself from a mini food bar. The only items you can specifically order are beef or lamb if you choose the least expensive Hotpot Buffet, priced at $23.99 for lunch and $28.99 for dinner. If you opt for the AYCE seafood buffet—which includes shrimp, sea mussels, crabs, red clams, salmon, cuttlefish, clams, sea snails, wagyu, tender beef, beef tongue, duck tongue, boneless duck feet, oysters, bullfrog, and scallops—it's $40 for lunch and $46 for dinner. There's also a station where you can make your own sauces and grab fried Mantou (Chinese sweet bread), sweet potato fries, and Youtiao (Chinese doughnuts). However, I found it disappointing that the sauce and dessert stations closed over an hour before closing time, especially since my group was still there at 9:45 PM and wanted to try the fried Mantou with condensed milk. On a positive note, they offered us ice cream to finish, with flavors including Vanilla, Chocolate, Mango, and Strawberry. Most of the canned drinks are complimentary, which I thought was a nice touch, so I enjoyed a can of Sprite and iced tea. My main issue with the place was that the selection for the Regular Hotpot was quite limited compared to what you could get at Laojie or 99 Favor Taste for a more reasonable price. Additionally, the beef took a long time to arrive, and the slices were cut very thin. Overall, it was a decent place for the experience, and I would definitely return to try their Seafood Hotpot. Also, I must mention that the chopsticks were notably large!"

"Dashiwa Ramen A Gastronomic Delight! I recently dined at Dashiwa Ramen, and I must say it was an exceptional culinary experience. This cozy little eatery nestled in the heart of Arcadia offers a wide array of Japanese delicacies, and I was particularly impressed with their beef curry udon, chicken cutlets curry, beef curry rice, and chicken karaage. Let's start with the beef curry udon. The combination of tender beef and flavorful curry sauce was simply divine. The udon noodles were cooked to perfection, providing a delightful chewy texture. The curry itself was rich, aromatic, and packed with just the right amount of spices. The beef was incredibly tender and succulent, adding a delightful meaty element to the dish. It was a harmonious blend of flavors that left me craving for more. Next up, the chicken cutlets curry. The chicken cutlets were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, providing a delightful contrast of textures. The curry sauce was velvety and full bodied, with a perfect balance of sweetness and spiciness. Each bite was a heavenly combination of tender chicken and the delectable curry. It was a true comfort food experience that left me thoroughly satisfied.

The beef was melt in your mouth tender, and the curry sauce added a delightful kick of flavor to the dish. The rice acted as the perfect base, absorbing all the delicious flavors and adding a comforting element to the meal. It was a hearty and fulfilling dish that left me feeling content.

The chicken pieces were perfectly fried to a crispy golden brown, while the meat inside remained moist and flavorful. The accompanying dipping sauce added a tangy and savory dimension to the dish, enhancing the overall experience. It was a perfect balance of textures and flavors that left me wanting more. In addition to the remarkable food, the service at Dashiwa Ramen was impeccable. The staff members were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu.
