    It's been 4 years since I've visited. Only because I moved. It's just as good as I remember it being. The food is so good and has so many choices who has different tastes. Good service. Prices did go up (as everywhere else has) but well worth it. I did order a lot of food though and there was 2 of us. I will be back once I come back to Leitchfield in the future.

    My opinion, the flavor was really good but I thought the shrimp were a little bit tough and the steak a little bit time falls over for a medium rare to medium steak. The rice was very fluffy and good, especially with the yum yum sauce and it came out extremely fast. Not sure if they precooked some of it.

    The food is delicious. I opted for the filet mignon and chicken hibachi. It came with a salad and soup. Shaylee was attentive and friendly. No beer or alcohol, only fountain drinks. Plenty of parking. I got there just before 6 and there was no line. At 630 it was almost out the door.

    Western Japanese food. I had the Vegetable Bento Box. Miso soup was more traditional. Mayonnaise dressings for salad, soy sauce fried rice. Great service.

    The food is always delicious. They are normally understaffed though. Service is slow because of this. Plan to be there about 1.5 hrs for your meal.

    I did not expect this little place to be as amazing as it is. Our party ordered 3 different dishes and multiple sides... all were really good. Thanks we enjoyed it!
