We ordered the Yaki steak dish. My niece spit it out because it was awful. The waiter told us they no longer use the same... quality of steak they once did for this dish. The dish was sent back to the kitchen and replaced with chicken. It was not greateither. They are loading dishes up with rice, lowering their quality of steak and chicken too. My vegetable dish was 75% rice25% vegetables. Will not be going back ... Read more

Just left there about an hour ago and geez I have a horrible taste that has been left in my mouth. Ordered Katsu chicken which... was actually just frozen chicken strips (not traditional katsu), shrimp and vegetable medley, and spring rolls. Nothing wasfresh. The vegetables which included broccoli, cauliflower and carrots seemed like they came out of a can of freezer and loadedwith sugar! The shrimp was definately precooked frozen shrimp and added to the mess. The rice was mushy, actually everything wasover cooked and mushy! So much sauce! The only thing I would say that was somewhat okay was the spring rolls. The only reason wetook the leftovers was because my better half didn?t have the heart to have them throw it out. Over priced and terrible. Wewon?t go back. I wish my phone service would have worked there in the area, so I could have read the reviews before trying themout! Read more

Rice was soggy from all the sauce. Poor quality shrimp, steak and chicken. Couldn?t taste anything because of all the sauce they... cooked it in. Spring rolls had a chemical taste. The only thing good was the carrots. Very expensive for poor quality food.There are so many eating establishments in Johnson City we will not return. Read more

I order a Mello Yello it was bad just SOME LIGHT yellow coloring and carbonated water no favor. Owner would not make it right... said it was fine but would not sample it so charger me anyway $2.50 for a .20 fountain drinks would not ask if I wanted anythingelse 100+% PROFIT on a drink. I will go somewhere else next time NOT as good as before DAMPAMIC. PANDEMIC INGREDIENTS SO SO ONSHRIMP SAUCE! Read more

We ate dinner here on a busy Saturday evening. We waited about a minute to be seated and Francisco, our waiter, was quick to... come out and take our drink orders. He explained the menu to us and gave us a few suggestions. FRANCISCO IS SUCH A GOODWAITER! Every meal ( I think) comes with the option of a simple side salad or broth. I chose broth and it was very simple butdefinitely delicious! They had sprinkled parsley and that made it super yummy. Definitely recommend it if you stop by during thecold months. We got the fried dumplings (they looked like pot stickers to me) as an appetizer and hands down.. they were someof the tastiest dumplings ( pot stickers?) I've ever had. My mom and I split the chicken and vegetable medley and we were reallysatisfied with the taste, freshness, and quality of food. All I have to say is..don't under estimate the look of simplebroth...it may be the yummiest, soul warming broth you've had in a while. Read more
