Nice clean place. We ordered sesame chicken, chicken teriyaki and chicken low mien. Ordered the special roll … Was fresh and tasted great. Fried dumplings were fantastic. Meals we good not fantastic but will be back great prices

I went on a Saturday afternoon around 12:30pm. There were probably 3 – 4 other customers in the restaurant at the time. We were seated promptly, and brought out their mushroom soup and our drinks rather quickly.
The entrees themselves took a little longer than expected given the occupancy. I ordered the Shrimp and Salmon and my wife and kids shared the Ribeye and some sushi (Bowling Green Roll for the wife, Ikura for the daughter).
The Sushi was decent. Nothing spectacular, but the rice was recently flavored and the proteins were fresh enough. My salmon and shrimp were cooked enough, though the flavor was masked by the heavy covering of sauce.
My main gripe with this restaurant was their «fried rice.» Everyone’s rice at the table, and we ordered and extra order because my kids love fried rice, taste led like it had been washed in soap. I have never seen my children spit out fried rice and refuse to eat steak because it had touched said rice. Even worse, when we complained to the waiter he stood their jaw agape and acted like we were crazy.
If a «Japanese Steakhouse» can’t get fried rice made correctly, I cannot recommend that anyone visit it. Two stars only because the sushi was on par with what was expected. This restaurant needs to work on their customer service and especially on their rice.

I’ve gotten food poisoning here twice… Yeah, twice. The staff is always very accommodating and helpful & it’s a quick in and out, but I will never eat here again. I’ve heard some less than favorable things concerning the health scores here as well. I wish I could give this place a good review because I have eaten here a few times, but seriously?! Two bouts of food poisoning, back to back, with about 6 months in between the two cases :(

Great food, cooked fresh to order, friends staff a must eat out place in Bowling Green

The Shumai was obviously a frozen prepackaged product like the ones you could buy at your local International Market. I’ve learned that Good Dim Sum is pretty much non-​existent in The SoKY and Nashville area. The Seafood Yakasobi wasn’t bad. It had a decent flavor but the Shrimp was tough and over cooked. The FireRoll was very Impressive! It Actually is served on Fire! The presentation was really cool and was Delicious! Absolutely worth trying! Service was good and Staff was friendly. Menu is reasonably priced.

Had lunch at new Cave Mill location. Service was quick and friendly. Sushi was fresh and tasty. I has the Yellow tail roll. My meal tasted great just the right level of spice. I had the Yackitori (sp?).
Will return for more.

No mixed drinks. Food was great!

Always happy with what I get here, especially the Bowling Green roll.

Have eaten here regularly since it was a Vietnamese restaurant (which was better) I always order a lot of sushi here and am always happy. Sushi as good as you will find in bg but will not compare to some of the places in larger cities.

I’ve been here twice now. The first time (almost two years ago), I remember the maki being OK. This time, I couldn’t finish it. It’s really bland and colorless. I only ordered the California roll and two vegetable maki, so I wouldn’t touch anything more serious sushi than that unless you have a strong stomach.
My husband ordered off the Chinese menu, and he said the shrimp tempura was just «OK». We accidentally (through the language barrier) got an extra entrée of chicken tempura, and that was the best thing I’ve had there! But it was still only average.
Thus, if you are a big sushi person, don’t go here. You will be disappointed. If you haven’t had fantastic, big-​city quality sushi, give it a try. You may like it. I hope that doesn’t sound culturally condescending, but there you go. Honestly, it’s a rural (ish) thing, though we had amazing sushi in Iowa City. Go figure. I have yet to find any in Bowling Green.
Finally, I dislike the décor, which looks like a gaudy Chinese buffet. I think they’re trying to do both Chinese with Japanese on the side, which leads to a reduction in the quality of their Japanese items. But they may need to do both for the local market. I don’t know. I just know that I don’t want to come here again unless I get a craving for cheap Chinese that I won’t mind regretting later.
But, yes, it is cheap.

I got the terriaki seafood combo and some sushi. Mom got her favorite, chicken lo mein. The combo was perfect and the sushi was pretty good. They give you alot for a decent price.

Yeah so they were shut down for a few days a couple years back for flunking their health inspection. Eat there if you wants AIDS.

This is actually the first Japanese restaurant I’ve been to here in KY, and it was fine. We ordered the food take-​out and it was sitting there when we got there half an hour later (we had to walk…). The exterior of the restaurant probably doesn’t do it justice, as I’ve noticed that many restaurants here in Bowling Green look like fast-​food.
This restaurant offers unagi, yay! It didn’t call it unagi because nobody would know what the hell that is. Anyway, an unadon was 14.99… a bit too expensive for me, in my opinion, but I went with the hand roll instead (which was also a bit too pricey). AND in addition, it offers sushi rolls, not just cooked meat and fried rice…
My friend got the teriyaki chicken, which had potatoes… so um, that wasn’t okay with us. The taste was okay, but it was nothing to write home about.
So I’m giving it a 3 because it’s Japanese food in KY, and I’m impressed that it’s decent.
