** back again and amazing! Shout out to Trish at the Pisgah National Park Gift Shop for the recommendation. Order the bento box for dinner and it was a dream come true. The tempura was phenomenal. Chicken was perfect and truly enjoyed the dumplings. Service was fast and friendly. It’s in a strip mall and on the outskirts of Brevard but don’t let that stop you some getting some amazing Japanese cuisine.

The experience that was given was wonderful! The food was amazing even though I've been eating here since was four. And when you come here, I recommend the sweetheart roll. It's a perfect blend of savory and sweet because of the mango and spicy Salman. Overall, this place is perfect for a nice dinner. Also, if you come here in Christmas time, get the Fire Christmas.

This was a favorite place of ours when we lived in the area. Now a couple years later we're back in town for a visit and I'm happy to say the restaurant, food and staff are still just as high quality as always. Excellent experience all around!

Easily one of the best restaurants in town! They are open most days, including most of the days that the majority of restaurants around here are closed. I have never had bad service there, sometimes there is a wait due to its popularity. The staff are absolutely wonderful and the food is always fantastic! Very affordable for great quality! The hibachi is always wonderful as well. The sushi is excellent quality!

Really nice place. Good food and atmosphere. Our server was great and paid attention to us even with a full dining room. I had the chicken Pad Thai which came out pretty quickly after we ordered. The taste was great and the presentation is very pretty. Portion size is awesome as I had some left over, so I get to have more today. Very nice overall resteraunt in a strip mall.
