"The cigar spring rolls are simply fantastic. The featured appetizer (spicy shrimp) was also very tasty. Our most recent visit was another great meal at Hiro's."

"My third time here and my last. I had a udon noodle type soup with cabbage. Tasted and looked as if it was yesterday' toss-out. Over cooked, poor tasteless udon noodles. Dragon rolls were very sweet and and did not taste fresh. Service just ok without style."

"I didn't have the sushi, with that said, it takes too long for the food to be served. The hot food was good, but not stellar. They need to improve the non sushi menu. The service was professional and friendly.
Perhaps a better spot for the sushi bar.

"Oily tempura and dumplings. Very very oily!
I sat at my table for 25 minutes waiting for my guest to arrive. I was not asked by any waiter if I'd like a drink.
