One of my favs! I only get a kids bowl and it still gets stuffed full of all the ingredients! They aren't stingy if you want extra sauces either!

The food was good but it was not spicy and I asked for spicy. I would go back. The service wasn't bad. The ambiance was ok. The music was good I could vibe with it.

Chinese couple does a creditable pan-Asian/Hawaiian quick-service outpost. Its clean the food is fresh and generally the whole thing works. Worthwhile if you are in the area and need a fresh lunch option.

The food here was pretty good. The flavors just weren't a good fit for me. The service was good, the staff were helpful and it was quick and easy. The area was pretty good. Limited seating and I think it could have been cleaner.

Stopped on a road trip off this exit and needed to find a good gluten free vegan restaurant. Next door was Panera, which is where I was headed for a salad, but decided to check this place out instead. Wow! So glad I did! I got the vegetarian bowl, which was rice, mixed greens, tofu, edamame, sweet onions, cucumbers.. and they had gluten free soy sauce which I subbed out for what was on the dish. It was so good! And I got the green tea, lightly sweetened., which was so refreshing! Only complaint is that they need to be closer to Cincinnati, where I'm from, lol!!

This is an awesome spot for vegan eats! I had the Vegetarian Signature Works bowl. It was a bowl of super fresh mostly green ingredients topped with a tasty creamy sesame sauce. The best part is it was ready in a flash! The restaurant itself is clean with clean restrooms

There is lots of parking available as this is in a strip mall. It's not much to look at inside (there were boxes and things piled up in the back of the dining area), but there were still people eating inside and tables available if you really wanted to. (I wouldn't recommend.) The staff was super kind and helpful making recommendations for my build your own poke bowl. There were SO many toppings to choose from, but opted for a normal sushi rice bowl with ahi tuna and salmon topped with edamame, mushrooms, carrots, jalapeños, cucumber, scallions, mango, tempura crunchers, masago, and spicy ginger sauce. It was assembled pretty quick (I got my food much faster than my friend who ordered at the Panera next door), and was super fresh and satisfying.
