"This place is getting ONE star and that 's only because the Stromboli was actually really good. Other than that, there is nothing about this place I 'd recommend. First of all, walking in there is like walking into a sauna- I 'm not exaggerating. It felt like it was 90° in there. Secondly, service is some of the slowest service I 've ever received at a restaurant. I 'm a server and have been for 5+ years and I 'm usually really understanding, but this was just not good. Our server didn 't take initiative to refill drinks or ask if there 's anything else we needed, instead would just walk away. She didn 't check back to the table after dropping off our food, instead sent another employee over. Don 't even get me started on the cleanliness (or lack there of- see attached pictures)... the windowsills were absolutely disgusting and don 't look like they 've been cleaned EVER. the floor was filthy and the baseboards had caked on dirt and dust on them. The pizza in the display case up front looked like it had been cooked 12 hours prior and they were still planning on serving it to tables/customers. The woman behind the to-go/checkout desk was eating ice cream while standing behind the counter and in the kitchen. Our server also just left our credit cards in the back unattended for someone to steal and/or jot down our credit card numbers... Just an extremely underwhelming and unpleasant experience overall and I will not be returning."

"I recently had the pleasure of dining at Ikaho Sushi, a restaurant I pass by daily on my way to UPS or Publix. Accompanied by a notary friend who recommended it, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and try sushi for the first time. To my pleasant surprise, the experience was delightful. I opted for spicy tuna and fried chicken tempura rolls. Despite not being a sushi enthusiast, I found the rice to be perfectly grainy and delicious, complementing the flavors of the rolls excellently. The spicy tuna had just the right amount of kick, while the fried chicken tempura added a satisfying crunch. The accompanying soup and salad were also noteworthy, providing a fresh and flavorful start to the meal. Overall, Ikaho Sushi exceeded my expectations with its quality and taste. Even as a newcomer to sushi, I appreciated the well-prepared dishes and friendly service. The experience has opened my eyes to the enjoyment of sushi, and I would gladly return to Ikaho Sushi for another delicious meal."

"We went there for the first time yesterday during the Fall Festival. Greeted us with a big ole smile and offered to explain business of self serve. Been to others so we got r cups and picked our choices. Mr G was simple n picked a chocolate n strawberry yogurt, but the added stuff was a bit of this b that. I squeezed a bit of each flavor and could not decide which was btr. So, I liked each one, including the Pumpkin Spice! The wait staff was busy the whole time we were there not sitting round, not chatting, not looking busy, they were honestly busy. The shop was very clean even the bathroom was clean. It is def a return to Yummie's for us! Enjoy!"

"There are so many options, and the food is very flavorful. However, I have to update my review: the staff was incredibly rude and made my family feel unwelcome. They stared at us throughout our meal and served our food and appetizers all at once, despite our request to have them brought separately. They had an entire hour left until closing but rushed us as if they were about to shut down in ten minutes. It's disappointing to see such a decline in their hospitality. Updated from my previous review on May 4, 2022."

"Went here yesterday with my wife. Started out with Beer Cheese Fondue pretzels. The appetizer was very good but the cheese was a little gritty. The pretzels were hot soft with a few crust on them. Even though the cheese was a bit gritty, I would order it again. We had plenty leftover cheese that our server suggested that we hold onto for the fries. My wife had the 420 Burger I sad the Crooked Spoon Burger. Both burgers were fresh ground, cooked perfectly, nicely seasoned. I stole the pineapple relish from my wife since she can't have it. The fries were crisp salted nicely. Speaking of the fries, the server was spot on telling us to hold onto the cheese. They were fabulous with the cheese! My drink, called an Orange Crush, was a mix of Jameson Organe, triple sec, lemon lime soda served with an orange slice. It was tasty but personally, I would have added some orange soda just to give it a bit of color. Overall, the food was great and we'll definitely be back."
