Great service. Amazing food.

House Lo mein flavoring and ingredients were great. Just a little dry. Disappointed in the spider roll because it has imitation crab in it and not one restaurant I've had that at has used imitation crab so that was disgusting. Server was great , took my order to go very sweet. Really disappointed in the imitation crab though. Would definitely be back

We had dinner here around 6:00 on 7/16. We were warmly welcomed and immediately seated. The menu was quite large, so after perusing it a bit, we settled on the miso soup, the cream cheese wantons, the fried shrimp shumai, and the tom yum soup for our appetizers. The wantons and shumai were outstanding. The miso soup was on par with others. But the tom yum soup was mostly just bean sprouts and two tiny overcooked shrimp. I would not recommend that one. Then for our entrees, we chose general tso’s chicken, hibachi tilapia, beef udon, and the Chinese cabbage with mushrooms. The chicken was on par, the udon was okay, and the tilapia was excellent. But the cabbage and mushrooms were unexpectedly delightful. They were cooked perfectly, seasoned expertly, and we enjoyed the garlic flavor throughout. The portions were huge, and a great value for the price. We all had to take some to-go. While not everything hit on all cylinders, we still enjoyed our food and had a good time!

We celebrated my birthday at this place. The service was good, our waitress was very helpful and patient as she waited for us to decide what we wanted. The food was very good and satisfying. The portions were more than enough. We’ll definitely go back and recommend it to our local friends and visitors. It is a fair price for a Japanese restaurant.

It's not too bad. The place has a bar and dining area with pleasant staff. They are welcoming and very attentive. There were also a lot of take-out and delivery services constantly going in-n-out. The food is good--a Chinese interpretation of a Japanese cuisine for the American palate. I say that in a good way. Though my Japanese experience after living there has fine-tuned my taste to the authenticity of the cuisine--Yuyo is not bad. I had the Spicy Ramen and Dynamite Roll. The spice has a very Chinese influence however the sushi roll played a perfect compliment as it cooled the heat. It's a nice place to hang-out for a while and eat a nice meal.
