This place is the best in town for sushi or Chinese food services friendly atmosphere his family and the food is delicious. I recommend it.

Ordered the Lunch Bento! Great value for the amount of food you get! The fried gyoza and sushi rolls were tasty. I ordered Mongolian beef. Seemed like an exhorbant amount of onions compared to the amount of beef. The flavor was good, just would have liked less onion. I didn't care for the garlic dressing on the salad. Couldn't put my finger on it. I usually really enjoy ginger dressing! If you are hungry for lunch, this place is definitely worth a visit!

The best sushi ever! The Hawaiian roll is my favorite. There is a very sweet lady that works there and we love having her as our waitress.

I was surprised to find a sushi place in Duncan, and it's very good! The waitress I had was phenomenal, and she knows about everything on the robust sushi menu. She is happy to answer questions and has a rapport with regular customers. There is also Chinese food served. I go here every time I come to town. Maybe someday my family will be brave enough to try the sushi!

This place has a little bit for everyone even if you don't like sushi. They have great General Tso's chicken and rice! I would previously have given them 5 *s hands down, but lately there have been a few annoying things about their restaurant. 1. They've raised their prices a little (hey it happens!). 2. They've decreased their portion sizes on their sushi rolls (some are almost 1/2 the size they used to be if their prices hadn't raised so much I wouldn't have had such an issue) and even their soups they don't fill the bowl entirely up. 3. The person who rolls their sushi SUCKS! I am a firm believer that if you eat sushi it should be with chopsticks. Their rolls fall apart so badly now that you almost have to eat them with a spoon. Sushi lovers know it's about presentation, taste, and ease of eating when you dig into sushi. With that being said... their food still tastes amazing, they haven't slacked on that. Their quality of produce isn't always the best though. The avacado now is sometimes a little too mushy and mango just isn't slected as well either. I'm not sure if this is them again cutting corners, or because it's Duncan and maybe they don't have the selection that they used to. If they cut anymore corners, we definitely will stop going, but for now it's still worth the money. They have budget friendly options like their lunch specials, but if you get some of their more expensive rolls and sides don't be shocked if you walk out spending $50+ for 2 people. If you get their smaller rolls and soup with no appetizers you can eat there for about $20-$25 for 2. They DO have vegetarian options and contrary to popular belief not everything is raw! I would highly recommend the "Hawaiian roll" if you're not on a strict budget. The hot and sour soup is also the best in town! Budget friendly: California, Oklahoma, Vegetable, and asparagus. The last two are my faves! There are several more to choose from. They even mark which are raw and which aren't. Menu is easy to read. Don't recommend: the salad! It's a ton of dressing over iceberg lettuce. Currently they'll substitute a soup for the salad which I do when getting something that comes with salad.
