INCREDIBLE FOOD, AMAZING VARIETY!!!! 5 Star Rating - World class

This is an amazing restaurant...don't look at all the bad things the others are writing. The food is very fresh and tasty...much better than Chinatown!!! but make sure you make reservations. I go to eat here every weekend.

Pros: delicious food, a lot of variety, amazing atmosphere

Good Location! 2 Star Rating - Wouldn't recommend

The food was ok, the hot sauce is what made it better. I was disappointed. I tried the place based off of the reviews I saw here. The lady that served us was incredibly rude the entire time. She even blew her nose at the table as we ordered. That was such a turn off -- ewww. I will not be returning to this place.

Pros: Location
Cons: Service

No good anymore! 2 Star Rating - Wouldn't recommend

Not what they use to be! This was great years ago.But now the quality is sub par and the taste lacks that of oriental.

One of the only GOOD restaurants in Times Square! 5 Star Rating - World class

This spot is by far one of the best in Times Square. The cocktails are inventive and really yummy. Asian margartia and martinis are fabulous. The seafood dishes were very fresh and tasted great, perfect spice, not too salty or too much sauce.

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, overpriced sushi. 3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

We had to wait about 20 minutes to be seated-make a reservation if you can. The night we went there were about 9 reservations for parties of 2 and they got seated pretty quickly.
Waitress was very nice. Seating accomodations are kind of uncomfortable. You sit next to other parties and they have to move the tables to allow you into your seat.
The sushi was okay but portions were kind of small and pricey. We are used to Miami sushi were you get about 8 good size pieces for $15. I had the Tempura Shrimp with Avocado and Mango ($9.50) and it only brought 5 pieces. My husband had the Florida Crunchy Roll ($9.00) which brought about 6 little pieces. We also had the Chicken pineapple fried rice which was truly excellent! They do offer you 3 different dipping sauces for the sushi which are pretty good. Their dessert was excellent-we had Banana rolls with chocolate and caramel sauces-excellent! Overall good experience.

Pros: Excellent Dessert!
Cons: Uncomfortable seating and overpriced sushi.
