Tips on ordering! Coming here for many years. in fact, one of the photos was taken seven years ago while the others were taken just a couple of days ago. The sushi remains excellent. Never once have I had a problem on the menu or something that was subpar. We have had consistently excellent service, with some servers being some of our favorite servers in the industry! One of our favorite servers used to consistently tell us physics and chemistry jokes, knowing that my kids and my whole family are big nerds! Some tips on ordering: 1. I love the miso yellowtail. The photos you see of a fish that looks like a cat made out of an orange is the miso yellowtail. It’s beautifully seared pieces of yellowtail, in a mild miso sauce, and presented playfully. Sometimes it’s a cat, sometimes they carve an orange out into little slices like a flower and put the fish on top of it. It’s really a beautiful dish. And it’s delicious, and the yellowtail is cooked absolutely perfectly! 2. The special rolls are always wonderful, though they tend to be tempura heavy and, of course, the sushi lunch specials are excellent. Try the bento box if you’ve never tried one. 3. The steamed veggie appetizer is only five dollars, I know this is a sushi place, but you’ve got to have vegetables with children; this was wonderful, especially if we asked just to have 100% broccoli. They bring you a giant gorgeous steaming bowl of broccoli, and it is bright green and gorgeous and cooked perfectly. So if you have kids, it’s so nice to have that brought out so they have something green while you all are waiting for your sushi, and if you ask for the dumpling sauce with it, you can dip the broccoli in the dumpling sauce! 4. If they offer toro, which is a very expensive form of fatty tuna… get it. You may think it’s a lot of money for two pieces of fish, but it will be the best fish you’ve ever had. It’s seasonal. 5. For a big group it’s always fun to get the sushi boat! it’s a nice variety, but it has a lot of sashimi on it, so make sure you have some fish lovers with you! 6. The hot teas are really excellent. They go beyond the typical green tea and jasmine tea and have a great selection. 7. The inside is cozy but the outside porch is lovely and has a great deal of natural light. If it’s not too cold, sit on the outside porch, it’s actually very well insulated and heated and is fine except for the very coldest of days.

Alright, so i enjoyed the food here. I had a teriaki plate because i was suprisingly not in the mood for sushi, and i was with people who did want sushi. So, this is a location that has 3 sushi chefs, and based on my friends reactions, it was amazing, but i can only really quote my kwn experience. I feel that my teriaki dinner was ok in flavor, but it was a plate of raw onion, with somewhat cooked carrots and broccoli (to a point of cook i enjoy) but, with the mass amount of veggitables the central point being the chicken was overshadowed. It was cooked well, but it was a fairly small amount of chicken. Im used to my chicken terriaki having more chicken than vegetables or at least equal for the two. This was vegetables with chicken on the side. However, my main concerns were more with the seat options, you could either sit in a standard wood chair with deflaited padding or a booth that had a seat that was so destroyed and old the glue from the seatvwas seeping out. And it had a horrid smell. Now, this could have been a single booth as i didn't look very far beyond my confines but this seat should never have been given to a customer, and was the subject of many conversation while we were attempting to enjoy our meal, and was concerning to see for a first time entry into the location. Pricing: she is a bit pricy, but for the sushi, definitely on par with sushi standards, i would have gone lower for my meal as i didn't truly enjoy it the way i was hoping. But to be clear, it was not sushi, so i can't harsh them too hard. The meal was enjoyable but oversaturated in liquid. I could only eat the carrots and broccoli as the onions had. No cook on them,and the chicken... I just didn't really leave a lasting memory. All n all, ide say 6/10 only because i feel the location needed to clean up a lot for the presentation of seating. From all my friends a tabme of 4 they only disliked the seating and were very bothered by it. If the restaurant can clean up, I would recommend this place more than a 6.

Edit: I feel the need to edit my review after last night's takeout (as seen in image). As mentioned below, I typically love Greenteasushi. However, last night's takeout was a HUGE failure in my book (P.S., I was Really looking forward to it). The only decent part was the Salmon sashimi. The hand roll was under filled (at first glance, it looks nice but once I dug in it was very underwhelming (never disappointed at Zen or Wasabi), the Escolar, which should practically melt in your mouth, had a tough skin to it and the Salmon Roe sushi only had a light layer of Roe on top - the rest was rice - so instead of that delicious Salmon Roe flavor, the rice was the star of the show. All in all, quite disappointing... Especially for the Greenteasushi quality standard I have become accustomed to. Following is my previous 4 star review after my initial visit... I always initiate my relationship at a new sushi joint by trying the sushi only - after all, that's what it's all about, right? I base my experience off of texture, taste (including rice flavor) and potion (including fish-to-rice ratio). I had the Salmon, Salmon roe, Toro and Escolar as they are some of my fav's. I'd say they passed on all marks. The fish melted in my mouth beautifully, the taste was delicious (flavorful and not watered down at all) and the potions were generous - there's nothing worse than a skimpy amount of fish on to of a huge lump of rice. I can't wait to return to try some of their rolls.

Located near Sam's Club, we arrived for dinner at Green Tea Japanese Cuisine just before 6:30 on a Wednesday evening. The restaurant was super busy, but we didn't have to wait long in the line before being seated. The ambiance was a little loud, but tolerable. They have tasteful Japanese art and decorations. Even the windows appeared to emulate the look and feel of Japanese construction. Our server Sage was attentive and thorough. He/she/they checked on us periodically and made sure our waters remained filled. I ordered the steak hibachi cooked medium rare with a side salad. The food arrived quickly. Within 10 minutes of ordering, the salad and appetizers arrived. The food was absolutely delicious. I don't typically like raw fish or seafood of any sort, but I loved the rice and steak. It was so good! My only complaint was the price tag; felt a little steep with a side of sticker shock. $85 for three people? I know the cost of everything has gone through the roof, but holy hell. I'm glad we tried the food, and I recommend eating there at least once, but we probably won't be back for a while.
