"The woman at the front desk, I’m assuming to be the owner. Is very rude. In short I’m warning you the bad reviews are not rumors they are truthful facts! I sometimes read the bad reviews and think they may be false but they are not when it comes to this place!!! You can read the story of what happened if you’d like but I would not order from here unless you want to deal with a very rude person for a very simple order.I first found this place through a Doordash order and saw it seemed nice and my mother really likes Chinese. The first time my mom put in an order she asked for extra bean sprouts, shrimp, and an egg in her shrimp fried rice she made sure to repeat that she wanted extra shrimp and bean sprouts as it is difficult to find them at some places and she really enjoys them. When I went to pick up the order the woman laughed at me and told me how my mother repeated the order multiple times and how she gave her a headache then goes just kidding as if that makes saying my mother gives her a headache is ok. At this time I just shrugged it off but when I got home the food didn’t have the extra bean sprouts and there were maybe 4 shrimp in the whole thing total. The second time we ordered, maybe 3 days later, my mother made sure to kindly repeat that she wanted extra shrimp and bean sprouts as it was missing the first time and once again when I went to pick it up the lady told me how my mother was a nuisance and gave her a headache then said just kidding again. Well guess what? We get home and one the food tasted old and it was missing the extra bean sprouts and shrimp again as it had like 3 shrimp in the whole thing!! So my mother calls them to kindly explain to the owner the she may want to ensure the the chefs are making the food fresh and adding what was ordered and the lady tells my mother “$15 does not make me any richer or poorer you can take you order somewhere else you are giving me a headache!” So my mom replies “Ma’am I’m not trying to be rude I just noticed that it wasn’t as fresh as the first time and it was missing what we ordered so I thought I should let you know” and the lady replies again “You are giving me a headache do not order from here again!” and hangs up.Back to what I was originally saying about how I found this place through door dash she was rude then too but I had ignored it at the time. I went to pick up the order and the owner was taking an order over phone and a young lady was standing next to her doing nothing so I asked the young lady if my order was ready and she replied that she would go check. As she begins to walk away the owner stops her and says no you will take this order and makes her take three orders over the phone while she (the owner) walks away and vanishes into the back somewhere. 20 minutes later she returns and asks what I want despite the fact that she knew why I was there and stopped the young lady from checking on the order for me. And yes, after this I had to wait another 15 minutes for the order to be finished."

"I wanted to like this place, the sushi/roll was fine and the tempura was okay as well (nothing special but alright for the price) but I ordered an oyakodon and got something that was totally not that.Oyakodon is one of my favorite rice bowl orders at a Japanese restaurant so I know it is usually a breaded cutlet or katsu sitting on a saucy scrambled egg with onion scallion. They served me a pan-seared boneless chicken thigh with a side of cabbage, carrot and radish and a fried egg on top — no sauce either. I was so confused when I got it that I couldn’t even complain. I thought to myself, maybe this is a different type of oyakodon? But as I was eating I also Googled what an oyakodon is just to confirm and there is NOTHING that looks like what I was served. It honestly did not even taste close to any other oyakodon I’d ever eaten. Truly confused, it felt like they didn’t even know their own menu item and maybe hastily searched what an oyakodon was. It would hVe been alright with me if the meal was flavorful but it just didn’t taste like much else than barely seasoned grilled chicken and veggies. I personally hate food waste so I took 2 bites and packed the rest because from the first strange bite I decided I would just turn it into a fried rice at home.On top of that, the service was pretty lackluster. I’m not asking for much but no one ever refilled our waters despite eating there for at least 30-40 mins (this is a big service industry no-no) and it was difficult to get anyone’s attention at all for even asking for the check. I have experience in both a professional kitchen setting and the food service industry and was honestly disappointed."
