Reviews
Parking: This spot is located in a high foot traffic plaza. Finding a parking spot can be difficult.
Ambiance/Environment: They’re always busy, despite it being a weekday or weekend. You can join the waitlist at the podium or on Yelp, but if you have a party of 7+ then you have to partner with a host. My family and I visited right at opening at 11:30 on a Sunday, and it was extremely packed already. There’s plenty of indoor seating and no outdoor seating.
Service: Shout out to our server Justin for being quick & efficient! He checked on us a couple times and refilled our waters. It’s an hour and a half dining experience. They charge extra if there’s an excessive amount of leftovers. You’d order from the tablet each round, and once you place your order, you’ll have to wait a bit before you place another order.
Sushi: They gave us a generous amount of wasabi and ginger. When I say generous, I mean like ice cream scoops of wasabi lol. Their fish was fresh, smooth, and dressed well. My favorites were the No Rice Rolls. If you like fish and no rice, then these are perfect for you. They have plenty of appetizers and non-sushi options like ramen, cooked fish, and chicken. They also offer a lot of rolls. The pictures can be deceiving bc the rolls came out smaller than expected. I guess small portion sizes allows more room for other food .. Presentation was okay. I was a bit disappointed in their blue fin tuna sushi. It was thinly sliced and quite small, so I thought they were being a bit frugal. Other than that, we enjoyed everything else.
Pricing: They offer affordable AYCE prices with plenty of options. Select locations offer a discount on their rolls. We’ll definitely be back for another round of AYCE sushi!
The all-you-can-eat sushi is good quality, and overall, the food itself has never disappointed. However, parking can be tricky, as the restaurant is located in a busy plaza.
That being said, we had a very disappointing experience that overshadowed the good food. We had a special needs child who cannot eat sushi or seafood, so we brought his special food with us. Unfortunately, the managers had an issue with this and mentioned that next time, they will not allow outside food, regardless of dietary restrictions.
We hoped for more understanding and compassion in such situations. Good food alone doesn’t cut it — good people and thoughtful policies matter just as much.
It was, but the server in the front, lady with glasses, were not only unwelcoming and she’s borderline rude. She shouldn’t be allowed to work in the front of the business if this was how she behaved all day. We checked in as we received a text from Yelp that our table was ready, then we’re told that we needed to wait outside, while we received another text that our table would be given away if we didn’t check. We went inside to inform her, no apology was given and just being told to follow the server.
Fortunately, our servers (shifts changing, so we had 2 servers), they were super courteous and nice, so unlike the front lady. Food wise, the shrimp sushi was one of the better dish I had. Everything else was okay, because they filled most of their rolls with spicy tuna, and those creamy sauces. Also, you need to finish what you order on the table, otherwise, there’ll be $2 charges per nigiri piece, which I think it’s justified.
The AYCE is limited to 90minutes and you need the place an order on the tablet, it would then locked you out about 7 minutes while waiting for the food to come. Even if you add into the cart, make sure to add all the food you’re going to eat, otherwise, it will lock you out for another 7 minutes and so on.
I don’t normally write review this long, but the treatment we received upon entering the restaurant, overshadow the food and it must be said. Not sure if we’re ever coming back yet, but we shall see.
