"Fresh, tasteful and fantastic sushi rolls. The first time here and I pampered in their signature Mikado Roll, Naruto the black dragon. Had some ikura on the side to add a bit of saltiness to the sweet mango sauce. Love sits at the sushi bar to see the knife work and presentation before me. The chefs were very congenial, offered a beautiful starter of tuna on the house, and basically the whole experience made it worth it. Will be back next to my new favorite movie theatre. #LocalGem #GoodEats #SushiHeaven #thersthatFoodie Updated 5/18/2021: 1. Once I was here a lil over a year, Covid hadn't met us... ever since waited to come back. I just ordered what I had last time minus the naruto roll. The aroma is now amazing. Not sure what another table has ordered, but I think I have next time. Less tables since last time and no sitting in Sushi Bar. #SafeEats "

"My husband and I were interested in buying a biria electric bike, but when we entered the store, the owner Justin and his staff completely ignored us. We waited for 15 minutes before ultimately deciding to leave because no one offered to help us. It felt like they had something against us, possibly because we are an interracial gay couple. We have no intention of returning to this store in the future."

"This is my go to spot!! I do t think I've ever been disappointed. I haven't been back in a while, and I'm so glad I wasn't disappointed. The entrance is in the parking lot next to a laundry mat. So great parking. I also liked that after not being there so long, the staff actually remembered me and made my experience even more memorable. We ordered the steamed shumai, the sushi sampler, the dancing classic roll, the sabagari classic roll, the samurai steak and the tempura green tea ice cream. Everything was delicious. Washed it down with a zombie and a Mai tai. Their drinks are always on point. I've stayed away to long."

"Food is known to be one of the most enjoyable aspects of a humans life. While many restaurants deliver this message through delicious foods at great prices, others tend to tarnish the name of food. After all, restaurants are supposed to be the epitome of scrumptious and affordable food items. Graze Smokehouse, expected to be on the same level as the restaurants that create the culinary world, greatly disappointed my friend and I. Walking in, we were introduced with a somewhat of a presenting entrance. They pushed us to reserve a table when we were simply there to read the menu. We ordered The Trio and The Pitboss, expecting it to be a treat but ended up traumatizing us for the rest of our lives. We were saving up for years to afford a restaurant and we finally went expecting an amazing experience but came out with PTSD. Very much not recommend. If I could, I’d give a 0 star rating. Lastly, for all my vegan friends, there is NO vegan food!!!"

"This is the place you need to eat at with you're family and friends to celebrate whatever special occasion comes up. I swear, there are at least 2 times the amount of vegan options here than there are non-vegan, so that's something to look forward too. So anyway, last night I and my family went here to celebrate my little brothers birthday. It was my first time eating in the restaurant and let me tell you, the staff is really nice and the decor is so quaint. I immediately really liked being there. Then after we sat down and ordered our dinner, they brought us this tray with some really fluffy bread along with butter, biscotti, and olives (all vegan). It was then that I knew I came to the right place. That stuff was so good. Then after a little while, they brought our salad and appetizers. I got buffalo cauliflower, mac n chz balls, and mozzerella sticks. Wow. That buffalo cauliflower was outstanding, I will be getting it again. As for the mozzarella sticks, they were really good, the mac n chz balls were a little plain but still ok. I wish the mozzarella sticks and mac n chz balls had a cheeser taste. But I was really happy to try it out. And of course the salad was good, the vegetables tasted really fresh btw. Anyway, moving on to the dinner. For dinner, we got a seitan parm, fettuccini alfredo, and eggplant rollatini. I loved the fettuccini alfredo, I will definitely be getting that again. The seitan parm was good but I thought it mimicked chicken too well, and I don't like the taste of meat, so I won't get that again. To be honest, I was a little disappointed by the eggplant rollatini, I've had it quite a few times from their chain restaurant in Rockville Center and the Rockville center location does it better. What I can say though is I prefer the cheese used at this location over Daiya cheese, and the Rockville center location uses a lot of Daiya cheese (I still love the Rockville Center location a lot though). So moving on, after trying out all this food, I ended up having massive leftovers, which is awesome because that means the party won't end right away! Also as a side note, my grandparents are meat eaters and they came with us, they got the shrimp parm entre and loved it. So to sum everything up, I HIGHLY recommend coming here."
