"i have never had a bad meal from this place. whether its takeout or eating in, every time is so good and this time is no exception. i ordered the black garlic ramen and added some extra popcorn chicken and i smelled the garlic RIGHT AWAY and the chicken was so crispy and flavorful on its own but when i added the black garlic broth? otherworldly. if you're a huge garlic fan this is for you."
"If you're looking for a healthier meal option, then Yasuo Ramen and Sushi is the place for you! Not only is the food healthier, but it also tastes great too. The Veggie Poke Bowl (no rice) has plenty of edamame, corn and mango topped wirh sweet potato The Veggie(Brocclic) Donburri is very filling and the veggies included are cooked perfectly. I always love myself a good sushi. The A.A.C Roll had a good combination of avocado, asparagus and cucumber. I appreciate the complementary miso soup. I'll definitely be ordering from here again 😄"

"Alvaro delivered my order and was wonderful. This restaurant makes wonderful dishes. I have ordered from them many times and they provide fresh and delicious food. I cannot recommend them enough. Excellent!"
"I ordered Create Your Own (2 Proteins) with two additional proteins. You can see here whether you believe that's sufficient. I personally do not. The salmon was nearly undetectable in the dish and it was not raw, it was partially cooked, and the spicy salmon did not come as whole pieces, it was mashed instead. The crab was not labeled imitation crab and it was shredded and scattered throughout the dish making it difficult to actually taste. I paid extra for that which was a huge disappointment. The eel was nice, however you will receive a very small piece. The rest of the toppings were lightly sprinkled throughout. Upon receiving it I was excited to try it considering it looked decent and I had recently ordered a poke bowl that was not so fresh, however I do not believe I will be ordering from here again either. I don't want to be negative I just think that they can do much better. Takoyaki is signature for its lovely toppings and bonito flakes which were barely present. The meat inside was super tiny as well. The sauce will be on the dish I guess because I didn't receive it on the side. Wish I had ordered elsewhere. "

"The "Best" Korean Fried Chicken I've had so far hands down..!! That Delicious Flavor and combination of Crunchy but not dry is consistent every time..!! I definitely highly recommend.....Wings"
"boneless chicken was dry as he'll, and way too overly sauced, not to mention they were chicken nuggets, not boneless chicken peices 10 nuggets for $15 freakin dollars and that was a lunch special.... then they got me on the fried rice...$12 for not even a full pint sized container... $12 dollars for that... I can pay same price e for a quart of fried rice at nearly any Asian spot and quality would've probably been better cause this tasted like fried rice that cost $4.... never again, You should be ashamed of yourself for charging people this much for the poor quality food I received! lost me for good.... think twice before you order from here!!"
