  The restaurant isn't much to look at, but the food is decent.  I think the wife and I were the only people actually sitting down in the joint; everyone else was getting their food to go.  The sushi rolls are decent.  The gyoza I had were good, and the dipping sauce is exactly like I remember it from the West Coast.  Best of all, the prices are excellent.
  
  It's not sushi in Seattle, but it's decent food in Vicksburg, at a price that's more than fairl.

  This is my family's favorite Japanese place in Vicksburg hands down. It's also the best Japanese take out we've tried in Mississippi. We always have leftovers & it's served in to go containers so it's easy to take with you. I've never tried anything here that I didn't like. The side salad is just lettuce but the dressing makes up for it. And their Pink Sauce is the best anywhere!! I could drink it!

  I got the veggie stir fried noodles (yakisab). I guess I am use to different types of noodles with yakisoba. These were thin chow mein type of noodles. There were plenty of veggies. I was confused with the two side of sauces in my to go bag. I saw a customer ask for a huge side of the sauce so I guess it is popular? It tasted like thousand island to me. Personally, I would much rather have sriracha. I am from California and was pleasantly surprised that this is right around the corner from where I am staying. I will try the rolls and habachi and update as necessary.

  Behind the dark glass of a dingy strip mall exterior, I found an affordable oasis where my wife and I relaxed and enjoyed dinner in comfort and style.
  
  Everything is packaged to go, even when you dine in, so it's easy to take your leftovers home. And it's not hard to have leftovers, because the portions are generous. The $1.99 miso soup filled a pint container, leaving me with little room for my tasty yakisoba (made with fried tofu, at my request, for the price of chicken).
  
  Next time I might get a soft drink, since it's rare enough to have a Pepsi fountain in the South. And my wife will skip the uninspired, all-iceberg-lettuce salad in favor of a miso soup. But since we were about to go grocery shopping at Kroger, right across the road, we're both glad to have enjoyed a great dinner before shopping. We'll certainly be back again, the next time we're in town; we live an hour away.

  Admittedly, my 5-star review is based on a single dish, but then again, I have had that same dish probably a hundred times over the past year or so. The salmon hibachi is my go-to take home lunch either once or twice every week: the salmon is fresh and prepared well, the veggies fresh, and the fried rice delicious. A very generous serving, comes with salad, and under $10 including tax. The owner is quite kind and helpful, and the other individuals who work there are personable and efficient. Several suggestions so you won't be disappointed: This is in the corner of a strip center. It is rather dark inside. Very minimal décor. The salad is just a few chunks of iceberg, but the ginger dressing is actually quite good. Occasionally the cook goes a little overboard with the teriyaki sauce, so perhaps a good idea to ask for only a small amount of sauce (but it IS good). I agree with the other reviewer's comment about the pink sauce tasting like 1000 Island dressing. My recommendation there is just to skip the sauce. It is not needed at all. For the record, we have also gotten sushi rolls from Japanese Express and they have been excellent. All of the food is prepared after ordering, so I anticipate other options to be just as good.
