There are a few comments I think need to be made here.
First the ladies that greet you, bring your food, and you pay are very energetic and friendly. My wife brought this up when we sat down. So it made walking in a great start.
Second the sauces and such. Everything that we had tasted wad more like it was hand made. Soy sauce, wasabi, and the liking didn't taste like your normal off the shelf sauces. This was very good.
Third the food. The food itself was delicious and everything had a freshness to it. Literally every vegetable tasted like they just got in the vegetables. So if they didn't then it surely fooled me and the wife. The freshness is something I honestly don't think I have had in Sumter and many surrounding areas.
Fourth and a biggie. Nothing was greasy! Noodles weren't caked in grease, the hibachi rice and all didn't have any grease. You got to taste all the flavors. This was amazing to me. You can't get noodles around here that aren't caked with grease.
I will tell you now, if I ever want any kind of Asians food I am just going to go here. Plus I seen a ramen bowl from online, not sure if I seen it on the menu there as I was busy telling my wife she was gross about wanting sushi. Which by the way she said was...
Read moreLet’s breakdown my order: Hibachi steak, Hibachi Chicken, and a tempura roll: $33 with military discount $22.95. I feel like this was slightly expensive but I can deal with high prices for quality.
Time waiting: 1 hour and 15 minutes with two people ahead of me with normal size orders. There is so much disorganization, they cannot keep up with orders that are already placed. While I was in line the two individuals urged me to hold out because the food is delicious, sounds great.
Quality: The food was good, mediocre at best. The portion sizes were good and I liked the cuts of vegetables. The steak was overdone and under seasoned. The chicken was excellent and tender. The rice and vegetables were the best part, but honestly you really can’t screw up rice. The sushi was below average. Soggy, cold, and small portioned.
Bottom line: Save yourself $4 if your military and about $10 if you’re not and go to Osaka. For $18 you can get all of the above and add shrimp with the steak. The portions are enough to split into two days, and the quality is right up there with it. Sushi is some of the best I’ve had in Sumter. Not to mention, I’ve never waited longer than 15 minutes at Osaka. Very disappointed and I will not...
Read moreI want to start by saying I LOVE the food and have never had a problem before with delivery or take out options. Though I do have a couple problems that keep me from putting 5 stars. I ordered food for delivery for a friend, my son and I this afternoon. We waited patiently for 1 hour and 12 minutes roughly (it was a little over an hour) before calling to check on our order. The woman I spoke to was very nice and assisted me well. But the driver who was asked what happened (as they had left with our delivery 45 minutes prior and was already on another delivery) said they had rung the doorbell twice and left the food on the front porch. Not once was I called or contacted to be informed of this. As well as I was sitting in the living room waiting. Not once did I hear the doorbell. We received our food but now it had been sitting outside our front door for who knows how long. The receipt clearly shows my phone number in order for me to be contacted if there are any troubles. Sadly the poor driver must have missed the memo. I can promise I won’t be ordering deli every directly from them again. Would much prefer to utilize Door Dash or my...
