"Mediocre Asian restaurant with a lot of nice decor. This restaurant has been on my spouses list to try out for a free months so I figured let?s give it a try. We are both lovers of Asian inspired foods. Upon arrival the parking lot is super small. I looped around twice and went down the street to park. Wasn?t a fan to walk to the restaurant in the heat but I had worse experiences with parking at other places. Entering the place the host seemed like she needed some caffeine. She didn?t smile and spoke low. We were seated quickly. The dining tables are close together. The place is loud with everyone packed in one area talking plus a faded sound of music playing. We really couldn?t hear ourselves talk to one another unless we upped our voices a few yelling notches. Service was fast. So fast that the food wasn?t piping hot. The food didn?t seem freshly prepared. Our waitress was nice and informative on how to eat whatever food was on the menu. We started with the chef dumplings. Five small dumplings (good bite size) to share. The texture was there but it wasn?t hot like normal dumplings would have been. The flavor was more sweet with little heat. Entrées. I had the chicken tsoji which is suppose to be like chicken tso. I got the dish because it always a safe dish for me to try out a new Asian restaurant. The chicken was sweet again little heat no peppers in it and no real Asian vegetables. The fried ride wasn?t mixed well and not rooted into the meal. My spouse got two rolls, which they said was delicious. The miso soup is a bowl of dark miso lots of sodium, it didn?t seem it was mixed well with a broth or anything. Overall experience was more of a drinking restaurant then a dining restaurant. The drinking menu is quite lengthy. This place seems more of a casual get together and pre gaming before going out. I don?t recommend first dating here or celebrating intimate mile stones. But if you don?t care about food to much and prefer to drink your dinner go for it."

"Happy I finally tried it. Passing by Good Time Sushi en route to UNO over the past few years, I always wondered (a) how it would do in this off-the-beaten-path location and (b) whether it was any good. Given that it's now been around for over 5 years, I figured it must have something going for it and finally got around to trying it today. I'm happy I did.<br/ <br/ Amid a steady flow of customers (both in-house and take-out) service was fine. The Salmon Avocado Roll and Spicy Tuna Roll were both good, nothing more. The BBQ Eel Roll with some sort of sauce over it was very good. The surprise was the Sweet Potato Roll, served warm and unlike anything I've ever had before, yummily excellent.<br/ <br/ I preceded these with the squid salad which had a generous amount of squid in it and just the right kick. Also excellent.<br/ <br/ For such a small, simple establishment, I thought prices were a tad, say 10-15% high, but I suppose real estate even on Elysian Fields (not to mention everything else that goes into running a restaurant) has gotten more expensive these days.<br/ <br/ A couple with two young kids sat at the table next to me. They said they'd been coming there for years and highly recommended the Volcano Roll which looked great. They added when the first came the thought it would be very, very good or very, very bad. Happily for all, it tuned out to be the former."
