"Thank you so much for the kind guy who called me to ensure I wanted the same order after my driver left without delivering my food. I appreciate you so much! The food was amazing quality, very tasty and super fresh."
"This was the first time I tried ayoki, and it wasn't a great experience. My honest review is this: Well priced and good value Food presentation as delivered was very good Cook and delivery time was great Chicken Katsu literally tasted like old fish. It wasn't the chicken, it wasn't dry, the crust was perfect, but the oil it was cooked in was definitely past its prime and you could smell it as soon as you opened the box. The portions were good for the price as well, but I couldn't get past the flavor. Hibachi Steak was cooked well, as were the veggies, and the portions were appropriate but there was zero flavor at all to it. I used the sauce they provided, but ended up having to add seasoning and soy sauce to get some taste to it. The soup that came with it was the least palatable, and tasted almost soapy. Overall not a great experience, but I am hoping that they were just having an off day. Not likely to order from here again."

"As large as the pieces of meat are in the Kobe Trio, they were very tender. The dish was good although I found the potatoes a little too oily. I would get this again though. I tried the painting margarita, but as I'm not a margarita person I will not do it again. "
"The sirloin was over cooked and was not 5oz worth and there was only 3 shrimp and I was able-to count a total of three zuchini pieces an two pieces of brocoli and a couple of mushrooms Way overpriced the amount of food you get. I will still eat at the restaurant just not the take out "

"The tuna rolls were super fresh! not chewy or overly *fishy like some spots. The rice had that perfect sticky texture, and the sesame topping added a nice nutty flavor. The seared tuna slices had that light smoky edge with sesame crust that just melts when you dip it in soy sauce. The ginger and wasabi on the side were fresh too, not that dried out stuff. I'd order from here again"

"I got the Creator on bowl and I absolutely love it this will be the third night in a row that I order the same thing there's so many things that you can add to it and if you don't like what's in it you can take it off I recommend sushi hi with ten Stars!! the ingredients are very fresh and the portion size is triple what you can usually eat so you're always going to have leftovers."
"I ordered the Create Your Own SMALL Bowl and the Krab Rangoons and they were both delicious. I don't expect such a large amount of food but it's genuinely 2-3 meals for me, and the Krab Rangoons are delicious with the white sauce. The fish tasted super fresh and had a good color to it, no fishy taste at all. I was able to walk in and out with my food very quickly and the service was welcoming and fast. Would def order again and recommend!"

"This place is the closest place to USF campus I have found that has rlly good authentic korean food. The Boneless wings are absolutely phenomenal and they're good reheated in the microwave too, no airfryer required to keep the crunch. I would also recommend the Bao Buns because the bread was just so fluffy and the Bulgogli is cooked and seasoned deliciously. The food portions are definately enough and I would consider worth the price. All the food comes out super hot and fresh and the staff is so kind and helpful. I love this place and will be returning."
"The Bulgogi was absolutely scrumptious and the spicy Potstickers were out of this world! The heat was spot on! My husband had the mixed chicken wings with soy garlic and said they were the best he's had! They were a hefty portion so he was happily content afterwards. We will definitely be ordering from here again!"

"this place is genuinely peak. the spicy chicken/beef/pork bibimbops are all awesome and never miss. the staff are so chill and friendly and they're always playing straight bangers from ILLIT/RedVelvet/StrayKids/etc on the TV and speakers and there's so many snacks and drinks you can buy. Prices are honestly fair too, on a random friday i ask myself "do i wanna spend ~$19 on some lame undercooked mcdonalds meal, or do i wanna spend the same amount for a bomb-ahh bowl of hella chicken/noodles/rice/veggies and a strawberry drink?" if something happens to this place i will cry myself to sleep forever like Sana will if TWICE disbands so i'll die before i let that happen just like Sana will for her group."
