Wonderful service and delicious food. Since we've arrived and gone through Chena, North Pole, Denali, and Fairbanks this place has the best customer service out of every place we've visited. The waitress was extremely sweet and patient with our family of 8. Each person received a complimentary hot towel to wipe our hands, miso soup, and veggie side. The bulgogi and galbi was amazing. The fish in the chirashi bowl was fresh and sweet. Combo fried rice was amazing. All our dishes were finished so that's how I know my family and kids loved it. Wish we'd visited this place sooner.

Sat at the bar and had a great experience! Will return. The chirashi was fantastic. They did not cheap out on this. Highly recommended. The salad in it was unnecessary tbh but I jist removed it. The avocado was a great addition and I generally liked the mango. The tomato and spinach I didn't care for. Great ikura. Recommend this as well. Sake was hot and good but not boiling. Fairly priced. Staff was the big win here. The chef at the bar was a great dude and the ladies were a lot of fun. Highly recommended place. Looked a bit old, and I think investing in remodeling would 100% improve the experience but overall idc about that. I was just happy the food and staff were phenomenal.

This spot is the best. Friendly service plus the chef js always game to prep you a complementary salmon skin salad dish. It's delicious. We had the red dragon and boss rolls plus the combo B tempura app. All were good but the red dragon was great. The perfect blend of heat with the tempura shrimp in the roll. Yum! The boss has a kick from the spicy layers so be ready. Great place with a nice atmosphere.

The best miso soup EVER! We had didn't plan on doing his spot, relying on Yelp reviews that sung its praises. The staff is friendly and prompt and answered all our questions about prep of certain dishes. The interior has booths as well as tables. Everything was clean. The chef offered us a complimentary appetizer of lightly fried asparagus on lettuce drizzled with a plum sauce. Delicious. The ramen bowls were huge and the broth rich and deep. I finished my bowl after later in the evening. Still delicious. I would return to this unexpected gem for several dinners a week.

We're visiting from out of town and went with some regulars. Had 6 in our party, seated quickly and great service the entire evening. Mafia roll was very good, spicy tuna roll was delicious, and the scallops were perfectly sweet. The sake was scalding hot and took a while to cook to a drinkable temperature, and seemed to lose a bit of flavor in the process. The salmon carpaccio was a great flavor combination but challenging to eat... about 1/4 of the crunchy onions and it would be even better! Generous portions make it a good value. Would come again!

Service - the best - love the warm towel and free soup and appetizers. The towel smells fresh and gives a calming feeling. They welcome the customers and the two lady servers have great smiles and very attentive. The men behind the sushi bar are excellent in their job and also sensitive to the needs of the customers. They remind the servers if the food is ready - great team work! Ambiance - minimalist but good enough Food - great portion and tastes great too. We ordered bento, combo #5, and yakisoba - all are tasty. Sushi/sashimi are fresh-' This is my first time and will definitely will come again next time I visit Fairbanks. Most of the other customers are regulars and know the workers... Lots of parking too.

Service is friendly and casual. The food is made to order. I would put the flavor up against any Asian restaurant in the Pacific Northwest. It's your basic booth style seating with the Asian decor that honestly is simple and beautiful. The miso soup is brought out with your drinks. It is uncomplicated. My appetizer was creamy jalapeño which I thought was going to be a cream cheese with a small amount of spicy tuna filled jalapeño but instead was mostly spicy tuna with just enough cream cheese to make it stick together stuffed into a nori wrap jalapeño and sliced bias. The Ramen was amazing. It's a favorite place to visit in Fairbanks

Restaurant roulette once again gave us an amazing food adventure. In all honesty, we are total newbies at the type of food served here. After lots of Google help researching to understand items, we decided on 2 lunch boxes so that we could try the egg roll from one and the gyoza from the other. We also substituted beef teriyaki for the listed chicken teriyaki. The food was delivered at appropriate temperatures and was really good. Props to the lady who was serving, bussing, and handling the register on her own. She was so very nice and handled all our questions with a smile. The restaurant was clean, inviting, and casual.
