Small mom and pop shop. Great customer service. My wife and I shared some chow mein and ordered a couple of sushi rolls. I got the crunch roll which was good. My wife got the Lincoln Heights Roll. That was special. The salmon on top was charred and had a Smokey flavor. Not burnt but tasted nice. The chow mein special in the fact that you could taste the freshness of the vegetables and they were crunchy. Didn't mush into one flavor and consistency. The Asian lady and guy working there spoke Spanish, which is a nice touch for the community this spot is in. They have a little bit of everything here: sushi. Chinese food. Korean plates. Bento boxes. Soups. Try it. Support mom and pop businesses.

It is now February 2025. So far, I have tried out their Pork Bulgogi, Chicken Yaki Udon, Cherry Blossom, Hawaiian Roll, Albacore Delight, Bake Salmon, Japanese Lasagna, Kamikaze, Volcano, Tofu Chow Mein, Beef Chow Fun, Dynamite Roll, Dragon Roll, Lincoln Heights Roll, Tiger Roll, Crunchy Roll, Tamago, Salmon, Albacore, Shrimp, Tofu Skin, Tuna, Eel, and Super White Tuna. Here are the positives. The entire Bake Rolls section of the paper menu, plus their Dynamite Roll, Dragon Roll, Lincoln Heights Roll, Tiger Roll and Crunchy Roll. you can't really go wrong with any of these sushi rolls. All of them are basically California Rolls with different sauce and toppings. Like I mentioned in my previous review, it's pretty hard to mess up a California Roll so if you like California Rolls, you get more of the same but with the addition of a variety of sauces and toppings, depending on which one you get. I liked all of them and I would, hands down, order any of them any day of the week, if I wanted sushi, You get 8 pieces each, some pickled veggies, cucumber, ginger, REAL wasabi (at least, since my last review), and a Lee Kum Kee soy sauce packet. Here are the negatives. Cherry Blossom was not what I expected it to be. This is basically grounded up sashimi wrapped into a ball of sliced avocado. It's interesting, but to me, it just felt like I'm eating mostly avocado so that's basically what I tasted. On the plus side, there are NO odd smells nor that classic fishy taste. Me personally? I wouldn't order it again but for the novelty, you should give it a try, even though it wasn't my cup of tea. Albacore Delight and Hawaiian Roll are variations of a different but also common sushi roll, namely, the Tuna Roll. Like the California Roll, it's pretty hard to mess up this type of sushi roll unless you use subpar or mediocre tuna. These two happen to be the latter. The only saving grace are the sauces and toppings. On an overall scale, I think they tasted fine with the sauces and toppings but I wouldn't order these again. Like the other Fresh Rolls, you get 8 pieces with a side of pickled veggies, cucumber, ginger, REAL wasabi and a soy sauce packet. Tofu Chow Mein is not what I expected either. I was under the impression that they would use a different type of egg noodle but this wasn't the case. The same chow mein that you see in those steel trays is the same chow mein that you will get along with 12 perfectly fried tofu pieces that are unfotunately, largely tasteless, except the classic fried tofu taste. And I LOVE tofu, in all of their varieties. I'm Chinese and I grew up with eating tofu. It's pretty hard to mess up tofu. Tofu absorbs all of the flavors of whatever sauces and/or items that you cook it with. This one, unfortunately, failed. I was basically eating a significantly smaller portion-sized Combo#2 or 2-item combo plate but both items being tofu and at what used to be $9.99 but has risen to $10.99--a $1.00 increase since my last update review in Nov 2024. They did not charge me the $8.99 as called out on the paper menu. They charged me $9.99. Beef Chow Fun. The flat rice noodles portion of this item is cooked correctly. If you've ever eaten good, plain Ho Fun at a Cantonese-style restaurant, you know what I'm talking about. The beef slices, however, are the wrong cuts of the cow to use for this dish. They used some type of beef chuck meat. It's tough, hard to chew, and a lot of the pieces had inedible gristle on them. The beef slices are supposed to be thinly sliced, tender, juicy, easy to chew--like fall off the bone 'easy to chew'--with some fatty cuts to give it this bacon-like, smokey flavor. The portion size is also those smaller, brown takeout boxes. For $14.95, this is not worth it and I wouldn't order it again. Pork Bulgogi. This is just like the Beef Bulgogi but with pork. It tasted fine but honestly, I wouldn't order this again. Chicken Yaki Udon. This one is bad. The soup is 'meh,' the udon was 'meh,' and the chicken was 'meh'. Overall, it's a 'meh'. I hate to use this as a comparison but I would have been better off just buying a 5-pack of instant udon at a local Japanese supermarket and cooking this myself with my own cuts of chicken. I wouldn't order this again. The enitre sushi section on the paper menu, the only good one's are the Egg, Tofu Skin and Eel. The rest of them are 'meh'. They tasted fine but I wouldn't order those again. Also, WARNING, you only get 1-piece per item unless otherwise explicitly called out on the paper menu. I'm guessing the same would be true for the Basic Roll and Fried Roll sections. Overall, I think the overall best bang-for-your-buck and consistent food quality and taste will still be the Combo#2 or 2-Item plate in those steel trays. The rest of the new stuff on their new menu is a neat idea and i give them A+ for effort but the price-to-proportion (or quality), just isn't there. I would still come back for their 2-item plate any day of the week.

We arrived after 500pm to grab some food to take to Dodgers Stadium. There were slim pickings to choose from among all the trays. The lady is very nice and for whatever combo you order she will pack the tray to the top for the same price of any two item combo. They don't offer too many dishes for vegetarians as practically every dish had some type of meat in it.
