🫤 I'm not so sure what type of sushi the other reviews I read, but I a disappointing redition of it. In terms of presentation and technical skill I would have to give credit to the cooking of the rice: it was firm. I have to give praise for the consistancy of the tempura batter. It was the thinnest... People often mention sushi, roll, chicken, rice, ordered,

    I'm not so sure what type of sushi the other reviews I read, but I a disappointing redition of it. In terms of presentation and technical skill I would have to give credit to the cooking of the rice: it was firm. I have to give praise for the consistancy of the tempura batter. It was the thinnest and the most crisp I have ever encountered. Now for the problems I had with the food itself. The miso soup (7.5 afl) is a dark and slightly spicy liquid. I'm pretty sure it is a afterthought as the soup had small bits of pork in it and the seaweed was of the thinner variety, not the kombu you see in these soups. I suspect they also use a dark soy sauce in the soup which may account for the dark colour. I ordered the sushi combo 6 wich consisted of a tender beef roll, 1/2 tiger roll, 1/2 eel roll, 1/2 shrimp tempura plantain roll, and 1/2 dragon roll (68.5 afl). They were all deep fried. I didn't read clearly, my mistake. As for the sushi rolls itself, the rolls were kind of large with plenty of rice. Most important problem I had with the sushi was that the wrong rice was used. It had the LONG grain variety. In addition there was no seasoning to the rice. I believe this is an egregious failure in sushi making. I am basically eating well done rice rolls at this point. Service was kind of slow considering I was the only person eating at 6 in the evening. It took 20 plus minutes to get my order I am rating this 2 stars because although the food was cooked well, I did not get what I wanted on both items I ordered.

    Excellent sushi rolls at a great price. The creativity and skills of the chef are impressive. The combinations are really good and diverse, with something delicious for everyone. This restaurant is always the first we go to when arriving and we usually have something there the day we leave as well (and several times in between).

    Good Chinese takeout place. Dining area only internal. Waited a bit for the food to be ready, it pays to get the menu (now available in their Facebook page) and order by phone in advance. Food quality was very good, we particularly liked their Crispy Tuna Roll.

    We ordered fried noodles with mix veggies from menu and we got crispy noodles instead. We told the waitress and she said that what we have. Prices are expensive for the portion of food.

    We found this place too late, just one day before leaving Aruba. The food is fantastic, we loved it! Certainly will be back next year

    Cozy restaurant located 5 minutes from highrise hotels serving a wide variety of sushi and Japanese cuisine. Reasonable price as well.

  • 5/5 Lindan C. 5 years ago on Google
    Cute restaurant off the usual strip. Though it mostly focuses on offering sushi, there is other items on menu though limited. I had the teriyaki chicken with fried rice. They have a different spin on it which turned out to be delicious.

  • 5/5 Pam W. 1 year ago on Google
    Best Japanese food I’ve ever experienced in my entire 59 years! Wow! Most delicious foods prepared with skill and love. Our new favorite place! We had edamame, calamari, wonton soup, chicken ramen, crispy noodles with chicken, beef, and shrimp, and chicken teriyaki. So much food and reasonably priced. You don’t want to miss this place! ❤️❤️❤️ Masha Danki, Chef!

    Awesome place for delicious sushi and great stir fry. The portions are HUGE and they have plenty of creative ingredient combo's in their sushi

  • 2/5 George F. 1 year ago on Google
    This place was a huge disappointment. I feel sorry for those reviewers who felt this was the best sushi they ever had--grocery store sushi in the US is better than this. (I've traveled to Japan and other parts of Asia, so I'm not ignorant regarding sushi.) We ate about half of what we ordered, simply because no one was interested in more. We also ordered the Teriyaki Chicken, which was fried chicken with teriyaki sauce squirted on it. Want the Sesame chicken? Same fried chicken with sesame sauce squirted on it. Rice was not sticky and was flavorless. Service was uninspired. I would not go back and cannot recommend this place.

    Traditional and Authentic chinese dishes. Diverse options. One of the best in Aruba for Chinese food.

  • 5/5 Frenk Van K. 2 years ago on Google
    The best sushi on the island. Take away is available as well. Just love it.

    We had Korean BBQ. Servers are super friendly and food was great. Vegetable mix was not as explained and kimchi is a sauce. We had to wait long before we could order drinks and also my friends drink was missing when they finally brought. As for the food we ordered mix platter which was more than enough.

    Delicious food, great variety of sushi and chinese food!! The pure ocean roll is highly recommended!

  • 3/5 Pierre G. 2 years ago on Google
    Sushi roll choices are a little strange--many feature cream cheese and one of our salmon rolls had a strange oregano-like flavor. The restaurant only had salmon and eel when we visited and we found a fish bone in our food.

👍👍 You definitely get bang for your buck here. The service is wonderful and the food is fresh and delicious! I got the oorlog fries and it's a veery healthy amount that you get. I'm assuming it's Dutch gravy that's in there so it's sweeter than American style gravy. They don't have tables though, only...
