"When you first walk in this restaurant it smells like they have plumbing problems. However I chumped it up to it being an older place. I ordered the taco plate with rice and beans 2 steak and chicken tacos. One look at the beans, I could tell something was off bc they were extremely watery. The steak( or should I say beef) as well as the chicken was tasteless. I could not even swallow the food bc it tasted like expired food mixed with new food. Total cross contamination. Therefore I threw the entire plate in the 711 trash can down the street. They should be shut down. I don't even understand who is giving this restaurant a passing Grade. Clearly fake reviews. I don't even think they deserve a 1 honestly.."

The worst thing is they give you more where they don't know there are insufficient portions and they serve you reluctantly

If I could give zero star I would . Food is disgusting with cockroaches . Poor customer service and Jose Espinosa the “owner” shouldn’t even be able to sell food in such a disgusting establishment . Racist and rude beyond belief

I didn't visit this restaurant yesterday, but a while back, a friend of mine and her brother brought me some street tacos from there. Unfortunately, they were bland and had no flavor at all. Additionally, I've come across several negative reviews mentioning that the place appears to be somewhat unsanitary, with reports of roaches and instances of customers getting sick. It also seems that the owner isn't particularly friendly, and I prefer not to dine at a place where I don't feel welcomed. Given all this, as well as the lack of taste in their food, I haven't returned to this restaurant recently.

"When you first enter this Japanese sushi restaurant, you’re welcomed with "irasshaimase," which means "please come in." If you're unsure of what to order, Chef James and his talented team are eager to recommend something delicious. Just tell them your preferences, and they'll guide you to the best options. Today, I tried the ono sushi with black pepper, creamy ono sushi, and the rock 'n' roll sushi. The rock 'n' roll sushi features a delightful mix of tuna, salmon, snapper, and avocado, all wrapped in cucumber. It was incredibly fresh, light, and refreshing, showcasing high-quality ingredients. We ended our meal with a flan and a bite of lemon to enhance the silky flavor. I didn’t take many pictures, but I assure you, I ordered plenty! The quality and freshness of the food are excellent for the price. When I bring my family, I have a little one who isn't a sushi fan and opts for fried chicken. Another child loves California rolls, making ordering a breeze! Meanwhile, my partner and I savor all kinds of delicious sushi and sushi-fusion dishes. There's truly something for everyone. On our last visit to the bar, we met a chef who frequents this place because it’s his favorite, and his friend brings him here weekly. They introduced us to many other mouthwatering items on the menu. So, if you’re looking for a tasty sushi spot that serves fresh and creative dishes, head to South Denton and support this local business. The restaurant has new owners now—Chef James and his family—who took over recently. When you go, find a spot at a table, the bar, or even a stand. Enjoy the lively atmosphere, and don’t hesitate to ask for their recommendations. One last tip: when you finish your meal, remember to practice saying "gochisosama deshita" to express your gratitude for the meal!"
