"Right from the start, the extensive menu should have raised a red flag. They offer Chinese, Thai, and a variety of traditional Japanese dishes, all alongside a full sushi menu. That's quite a lot to cover! I opted to sample a bit from each cuisine. Here’s a breakdown of what we received: 1. **Shrimp Tempura**: The shrimp was over-fried and greasy, while the accompanying zucchini was rock hard—almost like a hockey puck. I could tap it on the table and hear it bounce. 2. **Teriyaki Chicken Baked Rice**: This dish had no trace of teriyaki flavor. Teriyaki is typically sweet, but this tasted completely bland, with only a hint of garlic sauce. The chicken was dry and unappetizing—very disappointing. 3. **Tom Kha Soup**: Right away, I was concerned by its stark white color. It seemed to be nothing but coconut milk, overwhelmed by the spice from the little red Thai peppers. I’d rate the spice level a 9/10—completely inedible. 4. **Potstickers**: These were primarily sticky dough with very little filling. 5. **Szechuan Wontons**: These were drenched in Szechuan peppercorns, to the point where one bite left my mouth feeling numb. They were also incredibly dry, which was quite off-putting. 6. **Salmon Nigiri**: We ordered a couple of pieces for my daughter, but they looked nearly gray. After the experience with the other dishes, I chose not to take the risk of trying it. After receiving our order, we called the restaurant to express our concerns. The person who answered mentioned that the manager wasn't available and claimed that it was all a matter of taste, adding that he had never received any complaints about these dishes. I’m sharing some photos of what we received, and I can confidently say that we will not be returning to Little Wok again."

"Mt. Fuji has been the go-to sushi spot for my family and I, but lately, they have been letting us down with takeout, so we came here to see what it is actually like. When you come in, apart from the giant hibachi-viewing window, you will see the giant fish scales that will confused why they don't continue into a tail. Aside from that, ambiance is very casual and simple. The menu here is pretty straightforward and includes the typical Japanese-American dishes and some more inspired menu items. I highly recommend the egg rolls for an appetizer and green tea for a drink, especially if you have ordered a lot of food. On that note, service if fast and attentive to the need of the customers and they will have you be at home. I would strongly recommend the famous Norwegian dish, smoked salmon as it is very buttery, oily, and is so tender, that the amazing flavors will melt in your mouth, complimented by the soft and fluffy rice. You heard right! Smoked salmon is not Japanese and was invented as a way for Norway to deal with its major excess of salmon in the 1980's. Add some ginger to your salmon to make it even more flavorful and crunchy. Our meals were amazing, full of flavor and our service was also amazing. We left being full and happy, waiting to come back another time!Tl;dr: The service is great, food is amazingly soft and fluffy, with a great feel to it all. Setting: very simple with some Japanese touches. Service: Fast and attentive (if you dine in.)Food: The smoked salmon is amazing and I would recommend it to anyone."
