New unannounced rule: maximum 12 orders of nigiri allowed. After that, you are forced to eat rolls but I don’t prefer their mushy texture and excessive rice. Sauce is overpowering, perhaps to mask it not being fresh. The fresher cuts are reserved for nigiri. The nigiri and appetizers are good though.

2026Jan16 – I ate with no issues.

2026Feb03 – Went to eat sushi and ordered mostly nigiri. The older lady told me “Why don’t you order rolls or appetizers”. I already knew they were upset because this behavior is very typical with Korean-owned all you can eat sushi restaurants (they are tight and always hassle about you eating too much). The owner threw a fit talking about the ‘issue’ of me not ordering rolls and began staring at us because we ate mostly nigiri. I do like the food so I wanted to return.

2026Feb27 – ate here again and ordered 20 pieces of nigiri. The owner remembered me and gave me strange looks. I tried to order again and they said you have only 4 pieces left you’re allowed to order. The old lady really close to the owner gave me a schpeel about nigiri at other restaurants are very expensive per order and that I’m still getting a good deal (I didn’t come here to get a cost comparison or be surprised about being limited to only 24 pieces). No signs and no warning. They just cut me off so I paid for what I didn’t want to eat. The owner kept looking at me each time he passed by to put on pressure (the guy with the hat dressing like he’s young and hip).

Again, the food is good but they just make you uncomfortable and give a bunch of excuses and introduced a new rule without announcement.

Summary: the nigiri is made well (taste and presentation) and the sushi rice is excellent but they make you feel uncomfortable and change rules because they get a customer that eats the way they don’t want to because it cuts into their profits. It’s fine but I just don’t appreciate surprises so I can’t continue eating at a place that does this and doesn’t make me feel comfortable and welcome.

However, I understand that an owner must do what he must to cut costs so that he can profit. No issues from me on that part.

This place is remodel to a new sushi place. It’s an all you can eat restaurant. First let’s start with the concept. All you can eat, but you order from an iPad thing. The host explain it to me. But missed a lot of key things. You in each food category you can. But your limit to how many. So I was not told this but hey. Learning. They have a picture of each roll. That’s good.

The rolls are ok. I think they lack flavor and dedication. But for all you can eat. I can see the push to get food out. But at lunch time. There was not people and could be better without a rush.

The ordering system need major work. I order a miso soup and it took the 2nd time ordering to get it. I could see at other tables there were issues. One lady walked out as she order from the iPad weren’t going through. The waitress seemed frustrated. But I believe what is the manager saw that it was not taking orders. That would make sense as sometimes you would come out to take orders on the iPad. And there are sometimes I order stuff and it didn’t come out. Or the biggest one was I would be given food and it wasn’t mine and as you tried to send it back. They still try to give it to you. I got these tacos. But I rather give it back as I did not order it.

That and at the lunch time there was only one waitress. I think the establishment thinks one waitress would be able to handle a room of people as it should be at least two more. And the waitress I had was trying her best to make it work. And for the price up $34.99 for all you can eat that should be lowered at least $10 based on the lunch and difference for dinner.

Ultimately for a new establishment they have a lot of kinks that need to be worked out. A better ordering system that doesn’t make mistakes. Giving more context of understanding that you’re limited per category. And the price plan needs to be lowered based on lunch and dinner. I felt that this establishment is trying but I do not see it lasting for the next couple months to a year. I feel like something will take over and maybe do a better job.

Food good for AYCE.
Often times ayce = shitty good and a poor selection but the food was pretty good. They allow you to order only 2 rolls from the tablet, and no rolls from the server. Just hope you don’t get the old Japanese waitress. She’s rude and lied about having ice cream because she didn’t want to get it for us. I know she lied because I watched her table eat ice cream, made a comment, and then she gave us the ice cream.

Weekday AYCE lunch at $33pp – first time trying. Service was friendly and liked choosing a variety of menu items (lots of appetizers, small plates, sushi rolls and nigiri) Can order 5 items per person at a time. Wasn’t too busy so first round came very quickly. Appreciated the option to get half rolls to try more. Rolls aren’t super rice-heavy which is a good thing and the nigiri has a small piece of rice. Once kitchen got more orders, our crispy and baked rolls took a lot longer wait but they do state that on the menu. Overall, good experience – the ala carte pricing inclines you to do the ayce. Would likely stick to lunch vs dinner.

Get on the waitlist through yelp during busy hours! We drove an hour there, then had to wait longer since we underestimated how busy it would be. Still, Saturday 7pm, Yelp estimated a 60-70 min wait but it ended up being 40 mins.

Nigiris have a nice fish to rice ratio, but they are heavily sauced so they felt as filling as the rolls. One order of rolls is 8 pc, or 4 pc for a half order. Some of the apps/non sushi items were also good, like the ika geso (fried squid), udon, ramen, and soba. The soba* was very delish! I woulda ordered another if I hadn’t filled up on sushi. Food quality overall 4/5. Service was relatively quick & efficient. We interacted with about 3 diff servers who were all very friendly, patient, and informative. The only strange moment was when the hostess asked if we wanted the check ~30 min after seating us; nowhere near the 90 min time limit.

The premium menu costs extra per item as listed. Got the uni for an additional $5, but they ran out of oysters. Would be great if these were included in the original AYCE cost even if they limited them to 1 order per person. Total ended up being $59/pp after tax/tip.

Mad for Sushi offers a huge selection of sushi and other dishes, all fresh and delicious. The service is fast and friendly, and the restaurant has a clean, pleasant atmosphere. A great spot in Dublin for quality sushi and quick, welcoming service.

I’m glad i found this place. So far, this is the best ayce sushi in Bay area. Surprisingly the nigiri is hella fresh and the rice ball size is small. They have half and full options for rolls so you can try different kinds without getting full. Service is attentive. The restaurant is clean with nice decorations. Definitely come back in the future

My second time trying an AYCE sushi spot in the Bay (first time was at Fuji in Concord) but definitely my favorite. While not all of the menu items at MAD FOR SUSHI were hits to me (I didn’t love the nigiri I tried like the mango salsa salmon that weren’t just plain fish and rice) most of everything I had was really tasty and felt pretty high quality for an AYCE spot. I was also really impressed with the small amount of rice that came along with the nigiri– it really seems like these guys go out of their way to make sure their customers are getting a really solid portion of fish in each bite. Honestly though, while it might sound weird, I think I would have preferred a bit more rice on the nigiri pieces since that is what I’m most used to. The standout fish options that I found myself ordering the most were the salmon, yellow tail, tuna, and the Unagi (which I really loved). I definitely will come back here when I just want to just eat an ungodly amount of sushi for what I think is a super fair price. Not the best sushi I’ve had in the world, but definitely better than other AYCE spots I’ve tried by far! Also, the staff we interacted with were really friendly and the restaurant space itself is large and well decorated.

AYCE Sushi on Friday night. Service was quick. Loved the option of half order of rolls. They had a nice variety of appetizers, sushi, and nigiri to choose from.

Servers were super friendly and quick, even on a Friday night!

Will be back to try the oysters, they were out of them today.

You must order the mushroom poppers — I even added two servings!
They are mushrooms stuffed with cream cheese, packed with crab meat on the outside, and deep-fried to a crispy texture. The flavors are incredibly rich.

The cucumber salad and seaweed salad come in small portions, which are super refreshing and help balance out the richer dishes. I ended up ordering several rounds of them.

For nigiri, my personal favorites were:
• Spicy garlic salmon
• Spicy garlic tuna
• Mango salsa salmon
• Mad seared salmon
• Freshwater eel
• Bay scallop

The salmon belly requires an extra $1 for two pieces,
and amaebi (sweet shrimp) requires an extra $2 for two pieces.

I love that the nigiri rice portion is small — it feels just right, not wasteful, and allows you to try more different items.
