It was our first time here and didn't have anything special. For $40/person, I'd expect a little bit more than our experience.There was no lava rock as others have mentioned, only electric grills on your table. The service was a little slow but it was okay.Sushi was mediocre, all other food we ordered were good. Would probably not return here again for the price and service.
A well-intentioned place that doesn't nail the details, so overall I can't recommend their all you can eat sushi.Best thing about it: no limit on sashimi. As the only AYCE place in Edmonton with this perk, I wish I could love it and make it my go to. Unfortunately, all the tuna was chewy and stringy where you'd expect buttery and soft. Same for the beef tataki: well seasoned, but thickly cut and full of gristle. You just end up with a tired jaw and an indigestible blob in your mouth.And that's only when the food came...45 minutes after ordering. It's completely unreasonable to mention a 2 hour dining limit when most of the first hour is spent waiting!It was hard to watch the one waiter scuttle around as the sole person serving everyone. I think he was trying to be polite, but was too put upon to be warm or attentive. There also seemed to be only one person in the kitchen preparing orders.I'll say the nigiri was good though, with a proper proportion of fish to rice. Again, the details: the rice was soft, but too warm. Their worst misstep however, was very watered down soy sauce!Soy sauce is too important a component to the sushi experience to mess with. No, we did not ask for a low sodium bottle. It was thin, and maybe half as salty as it should be. Despite some quality nigiri and salmon sashimi, everything tasted pretty bland as a result.Just for the "unlimited" sashimi (although I can't imagine the wait), this is 2/5. I hope they figure things out, but I won't be back to find out any time soon.
Waited 15 minutes to get served. No problem as they had two new staff working and were busy and kind. Ordered from their take out menu. After ordering a family tray, manager told server tell me that the two sashimi couldn't be ordered unless I was eating in despite the take out menu saying any 8 types and being listed on the take out menu. So either too cheap to print new menus or trying to push cheaper options. No thanks for wasting my time.
Lava Rock was really good! Interior had a great vibe! The sushi tasty and sashimi was to die for! The grill aspects was super fun too! Shoutout to James for being a great server!
This was our first time eating here... And it won't be our last!Quality: 5/5Service: 5/5Bang for buck: 5/5This all-you-can eat sushi restaurant is a must try. Tons of selection, all quality ingredients.Something for everyone and everything was really tasty!The service was excellent. Management was attentive, friendly, and patient dealing with our party of 12, which included 4 kids.Had a great first experience. Definitely looking forward to coming back for more!
As always the value is unbeatable. The staff is amazing, shout out to James. The food is some of the best sushi I have had since leaving Vancouver Island. I highly recommend.
We usually go there every once in a while. Seen some other reviews, dont worry its always 2 waiters, one of them is there like a tattoo, always there, always grumpy and cold. Makes you feel guilty when you order food, 0 costumer service. We were abt to leave, he used that 15% tip option like its a rule or law ! Huge turn off, might be our last visit.
Service was a little slow, but the staff was friendly. The food was good, but they had taken out the steak that was originally included, and replaced them with Korean BBQ style protein.All in all, it was a nice night out, but you should be sure to make a early reservation on busy nights.
Tiny selection of food compared to other Japanese AYCE places in Edmonton. Soft drinks are included but that’s about the only thing I commend them for. Service was slow as they only had 2 servers and the food was very much average.
One of the worst dining experiences ever. $40 per person was an absolute rip off. Nothing special about the food and have had much better sushi/tempura at other cheaper places. There are only 3 special rolls on the menu.Service was painfully slow. Our dirty dishes were never cleared or drinks re filled. The grill experience is super underwhelming and there is no lava rock. Very smoky in the restaurant with all the grills going. Never got dessert. Had to beg just to pay and leave. Would rate 0 stars.
