"I placed a phone order for house fried rice and 12 lemon pepper wings. I specifically requested that the wings be lightly seasoned because during my last visit, they had overdone it with the lemon pepper. Unfortunately, this time, the wings were completely unseasoned—totally plain with not a hint of lemon pepper. Since we live 15 miles away from Red Bowl, I wasn't about to drive back to complain. I called to explain the issue and even sent a picture to the staff member I spoke with. Despite this, she insisted they were lightly seasoned and that the cook was correct. She offered me a complimentary serving of lemon pepper for my next order, which I found amusing. I even asked if we could at least get six complimentary wings, but she quickly declined that request. We spent $30 on this order and ended up with half-hearted wings that had no flavor. I will never again spend my money there! The negative reviews I've seen are spot on—don't eat here. The food is overpriced and terrible, and the staff seems indifferent to customer satisfaction."

Food was gross. For $17 a meal I expect good quality meat. My orange chicken had a good flavor but was chewy and stringy. Not what I expected. Mom got fried sushi, also wasn?t impressed.

I visited today because my daughter wanted a sushi roll. The service was prompt. The Angel sushi roll and egg drop soup were both tasty, especially after I added a bit of salt. There were definitely more items on the menu that caught my interest, so we will likely return. Food rating: 4/5.

I'm not sure if they care about whether customers enjoy their food, but this is the third time I've come and left disappointed. The food, drinks, and kitchenware are all terrible and unappetizing—even the spring roll was unpleasant. How do you mess up a spring roll? As a concerned customer, I urge you to improve. Thank you.

The fried rice had an odd taste, the shrimp tempura was served cold, the egg roll lacked flavor, and the General Tso's chicken was mostly breading and mushy. It was quite disappointing. This place used to be good, but it seems to be getting worse with each visit. We spent $85 on the meal but only managed to eat a quarter of it. We left the rest on the table; it was that unappetizing. View menu

I dropped by for a quick lunch and was pleasantly surprised by how delicious the food was. The freshness of the vegetables and the homemade duck sauce really stood out. Although it was busy after the lunch rush with only one waitress on duty, she did an excellent job managing the many customers. Overall, it was a lovely afternoon and a great value. I’m looking forward to trying their sushi or bento box next time.

Our waiter was friendly and the restaurant was clean and inviting. I ordered a plain meal steamed vegetables and steamed rice. The baby corn was too big and had a woody texture in the middle. The sauce that accompanied my food was a touch on the bland side but food was hot and the other members of my party enjoyed their chicken and rice meals. If I was able to eat more adventurous foods (I have dietary restrictions) I would have chosen a more interesting dish.

I eat here about 4 times a month. Only one time did I feel the service was slow and the food has always been good. People complaining about this place either don’t eat out often and don’t experience terrible food and service everywhere else or they are the problem, not the establishment. Try waiting at a fast food place for almost 30 minutes in a drive thru as I have at more than one company. For lousy food and high prices to boot. I really like this place and highly recommend it.

The restaurant offers a nice and somewhat cozy ambiance, and we had a pleasant experience overall. However, the waitress didn't come across as very friendly. On the bright side, the food was outstanding! We began with the California sushi rolls and enjoyed them so much that we ordered more. To top it off, we also got some meals to take home for lunch the next day. The prices were quite reasonable, and despite the waitress's lack of warmth, we still left a tip. We will definitely return for the amazing food. As for parking, finding a spot nearby can be challenging, but we don’t mind walking, so it wasn't a problem for us.

I've been here a couple times now. Once with my daughter, and then with my granddaughter. Both times, the waitresses were friendly, and the food was very good. I tried the teriyaki kabobs the first time, and this time the lettuce wraps. They were both very good. We will be returning again.Vegetarian options: I saw they had vegetarian options.Kid-friendliness: Seemed like a nice place for children, (who don't run around). It's not real big in the front, and there is a bar, in the back they have two separate eating areas, for larger groups, and another just booths. Yet both aren't real large, yet very adequate for most guests.Parking: We went late afternoon on Easter, and the parking was fine....
