    I had the steak and shrimp combination dinner and the “spicy bad girl” roll as well as the dragon roll. All very tasty and served quickly. The food was hot and generously portioned. Great experience and the wait staff were super friendly and attentive even though it was a busy day.

    I really enjoyed this place! I got a sushi roll and the beef yakisoba. Both were reasonably priced at $10/11 and big portions. Food came out quickly and the service was great! Picture of the yakisoba. Great spot to enjoy after skiing.

    Wasn't bad. The hibachi steak had good flavor. Grilled veggies were nice. Fried rice was good. The sushi rolls I got were the spicy California roll and the spicy snow crab ones to go. They were a bit on the small side but were big on taste at least. The to go boxes were really nice. Made it look great in the bag. Lol. The kids chicken and rice was good. The chicken in it had a good amount of black pepper though so if your kid don't like a lot of spices I'd suggest asking for light pepper.
