“ This sushi restaurant was fantastic! The food was amazing—fresh, delicious, and the portions were great for the price. What really stood out was the service. The staff was incredibly kind and accommodating, especially with our daughter. They even brought her sliced cucumber and apple, which was such a thoughtful touch. It’s rare to find a place that delivers both quality food and exceptional hospitality. We’ll definitely be coming back! ”
“ My girlfriend and I came to visit PA for the weekend and we were excited to stumble upon this hidden gem! Everything was delicious from the roast pork fried rice, to the chicken broccoli, sushi, ramen, and even their house salad with a side of their very own dressing. Very affordable and minimal wait time. I wish we could’ve taken this restaurant back to New York. ”
“ A rare gem in the Poconos once you get past the exterior. Lovely ambiance with tables or booths under a giant fishing boat/net and next to a large aquarium. The dinner boxes were around 22 and included soup, salad, California roll, sweet and sour chicken, white rice and your main entree. We enjoyed the shrimp and broccoli, sesame chicken, and chicken with broccoli. The quantity was great for an adult but too much for the kids. We also enjoyed the triple sushi. The service was great, and while not fast, it kept coming at a nice pace. We will definitely return. ”
“ Fast service. The menu is extensive. Enjoyed the cocktails. The walnut shrimp was amazing as well as the eggplant which was the best I have ever had. ”
“ Jumped in the car for a ride one night 2 toddlers and teenagers. Spontaneously thought how tasty it would be for fried ice cream. Realizing the babies didn’t have shoes on we called to ask if fried ice cream could be taken out. The customer service attendant was very considerate and offer to wait 10 min to give us time to get there and so it would be as fresh as possible and not melted. Right before closing and still ready and willing to serve a quick easy order! This was really appreciated!Thank you. ”
“ I gotta say, the outside of this restaurant was very unappealing. I think they would do so much better if they dressed up the outside better. Once inside........wow! It was really nice. You wouldn't expect it from what the outside looked like. Truly, and hidden gem. The staff were great and the food was amazing. The ramen was so good!! I can't wait to go back. ”
