I don’t usually write reviews, but this restaurant deserves a five-star review. I have been to birthday parties a couple of times here and the food was amazing, everything was very fresh, and the sashimi used the highest quality fish that simply melts in your mouth. I don’t typically drink, but for the celebration, we ordered some drinks the waiter recommend, and they were extremely good and as you can see from the picture, they look pretty too. Have I mentioned the dessert? We ordered 3 types of dessert, and they were all super yummy. I will be back soon!

We ate here last month and it wasn’t very crowded- we don’t know why- the food and service is outstanding. We had a sushi app that was so flavorful and we split Pad Thai which was better than any Thai restaurant I’ve eaten at. Our server Yvonne was the best. We love this place and hope more people will try it because it’s so good and not extremely overpriced like nearby places that are harder to get a reservation for.

My first time at pl8. I carried out 2 egg rolls, hot and sour soup, and Singapore noodles with chicken. Soup was excellent . Egg rolls were also great but very small and the $9 charge was WAY too much. The noodle dish was pretty good with a nice curry flavor and lots of chicken and a bit of heat but they added sugar which I didn’t care for. Will definitely order again and try some of their other offerings.

This is a good fission Asian place. The Chong Ching noodle soup was good and the fish in it was excellent. The sushi was very good and had an interesting twist to it

Had dinner with my girlfriend at Pl8 last night. The service was great! The sushi is not what it used to be but the manager was very nice and accommodating. He offered to make some of the savory rolls they used to make. PLEASE BRING BACK THE OLD SUSHI MENU! This new sushi menu is like Jewel sushi. I am giving you 5 stars because the service and atmosphere were phenomenal not to mention the awesome drink menu. Best old fashioned I have ever had. Our server Ariana did a great job too. She was very knowledgeable. Since we couldn’t get some of our old favorites we ventured out to try some Chinese food instead of sushi the dry chili chicken and the Sichuan string beans were very good. We’ll be back but please bring back the old sushi menu.

Ordered a to go order with about 8 different orders. Started passing out the food when I got home and didn’t know what was what. They should have written the names of the rolls on the containers. I called to try and find out which was which and asked why they didn’t label the containers. The lady made it seem like it was my fault bc she said I never asked them to. I shouldn’t have to ASK when there are 8 orders of similar looking rolls. PLUS for the price it wasn’t worth the cost. Poor customer service with attitude

We had Clovey as our server and she was beyond amazing. Best server we’ve ever had. She was so attentive and friendly and recommended some great food and drinks for us. I will definitely come back all the time just for her! The food was great as well but so impressed with the service from Clovey.

Anna Green
Never left dissatisfied, Have always had an awesome server each time I have gone. and Have enjoyed everything I have eaten so far. A tad on the pricier side as far as portion to price ratio goes, but the food is full of flavor and very fresh so definitely worth the price. I recommend this to anyone who wants to try something new.
