“ Amazing vegetarian options! My tofu udon came with Miso soup as well- I am very happy. ”
“ Super friendly staff who gives awesome recommendations! Got the spicy salmon bowl and the veggies were Soo fresh, loved the little amount of rice as I’m trying to be healthy and the salmon mixture was very nice too. Cant wait to try other items. ”
“ I ate here during the week of Sept 12th, 2021. The young man who took my order was amazing in dealing with food allergies. He created a custom version of a poke salad bowl which was absolutely delicious. The young man was very knowledgeable and caring about food allergies, had a terrific personality, and the food was super fresh and well seasoned. 5 stars for food quality and 5 stars for caring. ”
“ This place is always good and I have to come back to it each time I go back to Rochester ”
“ I LOVE this place! The employees are always friendly and willing to give suggestions or more information on dishes, and all of the foods I've tried have tasted incredible. The bowls of ramen are huge, the rice bowls are amazing (especially Shrimp Tempura), and I usually only pay about 10 for a very filling meal (that also doesn't taste super processed!). It's always fresh, and the food is ready fast, which makes it perfect for lunch breaks. ”
“ Great stop in the skyway for a bite to eat. I got to try something new and my teen got to enjoy a version of his favorite dish. ”
“ Their food is always very tasty. They have great vegetarian and vegan options (sushi, ramen, pho, udon, salad bowls and rice bowls). Also, they have ceramic bowls for their udon/pho/ramen (and probably their salad and rice bowls) if you eat in so you can avoid using disposable food containers (which can be hard to do in Rochester if you want to eat fast). I absolutely recommend them. ”
“ Amazing fresh food and nourishing soups with a very family friend owned vibe! ”
