We have been here for an hour and just the first course. Evidently they ran out of the soup that comes with entrees but never bothered to tell us. Our waitress is also working in the kitchen and the other waitress who is not has served her customers waters and soups before our waitress even though they sat down after us. The people behind us with our same waitress just said they’ve been waiting an hour for their food.

This is one of the best restaurants in Bangor. I have been going here for years and never had a bad dish. Its styling takes strong inspiration from Japan, with sections with raised bamboo flooring in which you sit closer to the table. They also have regular seating, but the other sections are very fun and unique. The food tastes closer to authentic Japanese rather than other restaurants which are typically more Americanized. Definitely worth checking out. Pictured, is two of the sushi rolls and one of the chicken curries with bubble teas.

Decent Japanese food and a very polite waiter. The kitchen was incredibly slow however. It took them over an hour to bring out two Bento boxes. Don't go there if you're in a hurry.

Enjoyed the food (did not leave hungry) also enjoyed the tatami seating option being that my company and I have not dined in this fashion before. Friendly "down to earth" service as well.

Previously have had excellent meals and service here. In addition, I wanted to highlight the outstanding service for takeout. The staffed called me to review an allergy and help make adjustments to my order. Incredible and kind customer service! Will continue being a happy patron here.

I used to love it here but had a bad experience today. Very very slow, we were in the restaurant for well over an hour and a half. My husband had his food almost gone before my food came out. Out of one of the items on the menu we always get. We also heard the cook yelling “I don’t care” at a waitress. I would pass next time and go for M Thai.

Always a great experience and top notch quality. The new owner is a very creative chef and can make rolls for anyone's liking. He even makes special "kid's rolls" if you ask. My 3 year old loves to eat here.

Use EXTREME CAUTION with this place!!! I told them MULTIPLE times that I'm literally DEATHLY allergic to something, and when I got my food they tried sneaking it into EVERY dish and piece of sushi I ordered. If I hadn't been paying attention I would have had to call 911 and go to the hospital with anaphylaxis. I'll never be going here again. So sad that they were willing to gamble with someone's life like that.

(Edit / changed review) was the best pad Thai & sushi around IMO. I was told 1hr wait, it was over two. That was the story for many customers I was waiting with... I think they've gotten out of their league with door dash. The person at the cash was rude to her frustrated customers, I didn't even make a comment but I was one of them. I understand it's not their fault for being overrun as the employees, but have a little sympathy for the paying customer who hoped for quick take out and has been waiting over 2 hours.
After all of this, the pad Thai was cold and burnt. The pad Thai is too pricey to suck. This is not the first time - this review edit has been a long time coming. Ever since the new ownership, things have gone down hill with the pad thai. The redeemable factor was the sushi being on point every time.
So, if you have lots of time to burn, I'd suggest dine in, and order sushi or things that are really hard to screw up.
