Oh man, the quality on this place has just gone downhill. Used to absolutely love this place 6 or 7 years ago, before the original owner left anyway. The service now is just horrible. They serve you very, very slowly. And they got my order wrong 3 times! Go to Sushi 88, they have much better food and service! This place was amazing and a very good restaurant. Now, it sucks. Sorry, but definitely won't be back anytime soon.
Absolute garbage service. Just get nigiri... their spicy tuna and salmon is just Sriracha on the fish.We were the only ones there ( party of 2) and I had to bring the menu up to the sushi chef almost every time.If you want sushi, just go to nobhill instead, you'll thank me.Fish might be bad at this place as they drown their sushi with sauce.Also budget might be tight as they left some lights off and no air conditioning.Will not be returning.
I am surprised at the other reviews of this place, but I think my focus was different than the other diners reporting here. I wasn't bringing out a digital scale to weigh up fish, or trying to stuff myself with Maki to make my All You Can Eat into a buffet bargain. I was looking for clean comfort food after pushing myself to exhaustion over the last couple of days.I ordered the Tantan Ramen, with an extra portion of Chashu Pork, and an Ebi Sunomono salad (cucumber and sliced shrimp). Honestly, I was very well satisfied. The ramen was spicy, hearty, and chock a block with corn and noodles, pork, fish cakes, and egg. The cucumber salad was brightly sauced, evenly and thinly sliced, properly pickled and refreshing, without any bitter notes.The food made me happy on a day when I just needed to be warmed and filled, and though I wasn't counting the cost, I walked out for $40, thirty to the restaurant and ten to the waiter, and I was happy. That's what I want from food, to be happy. What do you want?
This place has some great quality sushi and all you can eat for the price of $49.95. The only downfall of this place is the service. The service was sub par and their was only 1 sushi chef working. Each order placed tool more than 10 minutes to be served and the place was not even busy. 5 total patrons including the group of 3 that I was sitting with. If they had more chefs, this place would easily be the best all you can eat sushi spot in the bay area but until they get that fixed, it's a good last resort for all you can eat sushi.
I don't understand all the hate in this restaurant. Yes each time we ordered a new round it took 10 to 15min..but I appreciated it because it would let my food settle for the next round. The baked rolls where very good..however they did taste similar. The fried crab was delicious, and the calamari was thin and good. The nigori and surf clam where not best but not the worst as well. It was very empty, so our service was quick. The server was on top of it and we didn't have issues. Yes, the price was $50 AYCE , which is pretty pricy considering everything they don't offer, so thats why its down to 3 stars. First time for my visit I am content. Would I go back ? I think I would stick to Kenzo sushi, or Tokyo sushi in Berryessa for sushi. Thank you guys.
Great food and friendly staff! 49er roll had peeled lemon on top which was a nice touch, most places leave the rind on. Didn't do all you can eat because it was late, but will definitely try it next time
Excellent service! Everytime I come here it’s always amazing. Definitely worth the price.
By looking at the color of the fish , you can tell its not that fresh, not fresh at all. I would not recommend this cherry blossom roll (20 usd).
Overall worst. AYCE ($50) is 3 items per person per order. Who orders 3 nigiri at a time when going in for an expensive AYCE? No sashimi for AYCE. No salmon roe. At the end of it all, won’t take a Discover card. Unfortunate, but there was just nothing good about this place for me.
Worst service ever! We all went for the all you can eat sushi and also called them beforehand to make sure they were doing. When we got there, the waiter was like “wE hAVe orDErs FOr 6 PEopLe RN sO we CANt oFFEr AYCE”The restaurant was super empty as well. I would choose a better place to go eat if I was you.
