Food is delicious. Grateful for this restaurant seeing as there are no other offerings of Asian cuisine besides Chinese food in the area. Some favorites include their specialty rolls , basil beef, and their dumplings are some of the best I've ever had

The food was good!! I enjoyed sitting out on the outside porch with my friend. You can see the water and some boats. I really enjoyed the main sushi, the first one shown. It was a rock roll sushi. The pad Thai was wonderful tasting too. As well as the chocolate cake.

4 stars- I came here on the recommendation of a friend who lives in Howard Beach and comes here regularly. We were looking for a sushi and I didn't want to wait until I got back to Bay Ridge on the way home from a trip out to Long Island. This a large space, a little dated looking, a large bar area with a great selection of Saki, beer, and liquors. The menu is one of the most extensive menus I've seen with the usual hot and cold appetizers, sashimi, sushi, entrees, Hibachi Dinners, deserts, etc. Prices are fair, service was what I call efficient and good. The server was nice although not super conversational. They are located right on the canal so you can get a nice view of the boats, docks and waterfront houses. They get pretty busy and are well established. One tip is to try and wait to order your entrees until you e had your appetizers. The food comes out fast although they don't rush you. We started with a bowl of Edemame and vegetable spring rolls. We had the Day Dream Roll which had with rock shrimps & guacamole inside and topped with fresh lobster, shrimp and crab meat in spicy mayo, mango & eel sauce. The Sesame Crusted Tuna roll-spicy tuna & avocado topped seared sesame tuna, served w. sesame saikgo sauce. We also had the Dynamite Roll-spicy crunchy tuna inside with spicy kani & crunch on top. For desert we had the Warm Chocolate Cake with vanilla ice cream. Overall a good experience and I would recommend them. Very good value for the money.

Food here is always on point and delicious. They have changed up their menus quite a bit. I used to always love their marinated beef salad that came w this tangy white dressing. =( sad they took it off their menu. - hope they can bring it back some day. Still their menu is quite extensive. Service is on par. They used to have karaoke on Friday and Saturday nights. Not sure if they still have that going on. Would be back if I'm ever in the Howard Beach area. Def recommend!
