Went to the hibachi side of the restaurant for dinner with my daughter. Our drinks were good – I had the Starburst and she had the Mai Tai. Just wish we either had larger glasses or less ice but they were both good.
I have to say after having eaten at several hibachi restaurants, the jokes gets a little stale – either they should eliminate them or come up with some new ones. Nonetheless I like to what them cook my food and serve it without waiting. I had the shrimp and steak, my daughter had the chicken and shrimp, but were very good. It comes with soup, salad, rice, veggies and noodles – all of it was delicious.
I have to say the service there is very good as well. As soon as you're done eating, someone immediately comes to remove your plates and our waitress continuously checked to see if we were ok which I liked.
I liked Little Buddha and I am already contemplating when I can go for lunch to try their sushi.
Located at the Ridge Hill shopping center…it's a japanese place that is sectioned off. 1 side for teppanyaki, and the other side for regular seating.
The teppanyaki is seated weirdly. You have a typical U table, but instead of 1 large teppanyaki flatbed, you have 2 smaller ones. Pretty much the middle section of the U gets screwed without a show.
The food is typical – salty and buttery. However they did cook my filet mignon medium rare just as requested. The place is kid friendly, and the chefs do put on a decent show. However, the place is just your typical place. Nothing stands out here.
My best friend took me here for dinner tonight. We were seated immediately and our server Elsa was okay. We ordered a pina colada, which my friend (who is very easy to please) couldn't drink, she literally said it tasted like vomit. *shudder* I tried the Mai Tai and Blue Monday, which were both decent.
On to the food:
Calamari salad: very good, crunchy and had fresh lettuce and fruit
Snow crab and avocado salad: I thought it was small at first but as I ate it, it made sense given the pricey ingredient. It was DELICIOUS. I highly recommend.
Crispy duck roll: basically a fried spring roll with duck. There was very like duck, i could barely taste or see it. The tamarind sauce was good.
Chicken wraps: simple and tasty
Yumi Yumi Roll: bigger serving than I expected. The shrimp tempura was crunchy and cooked well. Overall a solid choice.
Naruto #4: basically a shrimp tempura roll with cucumber instead of rice. Very refreshing. Awesome option for the carb conscious.
The food was pretty good overall. The drinks were hit or miss. Prices were reasonable for the appetizers, rolls and drinks. The bill was $89 for three drinks and all the food. Many of the entrees were $19+ FYI. A decent option for Asian fusion in Yonkers.
Good sushi, but the cooked portion of the menu leaves something to be desired. However, their version of the done-to-death tuna pizza was on par with Morimoto's..and a lot cheaper. The decor is nice and the service was typical of these generic hybrid- Japanese/Thai/Pacific Rim places- efficient but not terribly friendly.
Food was goood better when you have a hibachi table. Their lychee wine goood
Good for groups and Children
I came here tonight with my two girlfriends. We each ordered a drink, I got the red sangria, one friend ordered the lychee martini and my other friend ordered the mango mojito. All the drinks were so good and a bit strong, which we liked lol
For appetizers we shared Edamame and the crispy calamari. The calamari came with spicy mayo which was delicious.
For dinner I ordered the shrimp pad thai which was a huge portion, i had to take it home. My two friends ordered general tsos chicken and an Out of Control roll. All the food was yummy.
For dessert we ordered fried vanilla ice cream, tiramisu and I ordered the fried cheesecake which was amazing.
I will def be going back.
Had a sushi dinner here last night.
Nice ambiance/decor.
Average sushi.
Service was OK.
Overpriced, and just bad food. Simple as that. I get it, this is "asian fusion" food located on a shopping strip in Yonkers – hence the high prices. But what nerves they have to charge such absurd prices when they can't even execute mediocre food.
$19 for Singapore Mai Fun?! It was full of salt, and msg, and wasn't even cooked with the right noodles. It was made with vermicelli aka what we call "fun see" in chinese, and not mai fun. That's the stuff I eat when mamabear makes vegetarian dishes for Chinese New Year, not when I order a Singapore Mai Fun.
$18/19 Szechuan Chicken and Shrimp Stir Fry?! I literally tasted no szechuan flavors in there, although I did see a lot of dried red peppers. All I tasted was msg, and a lot a lot of hoisin sauce. Not very delicious frozen shrimp, and barely any chicken too.
Now, the only decent thing is the sushi. We only ordered rolls to be safe, and at least they weren't bad. Not great, but doable. I must complain about the avocado though – The avocado in my eel avo. roll and cali roll were so not ripe and tasted like nothing, and was everything avocado shouldn't be.
But guess what? After the meal, my mouth was so tingly and dry from the MSG overload, my head was dizzy, and I was close to throwing up; and I would've if I wasn't in public.
So, 2 dishes, 4 rolls, and 2 sodas = An $80 bill that was not worth it + an upset stomach + an angry girl.
