Was not bad for a quick dinner, but disappointed in the sushi quality. The rolls were mushy, too much mayo and fell apart easily. Baked rolls were torched too long so the topping was partially charred instead of seared. The chicken katsu was great! Considering the positive reviews overall, I am guessing our experience was not the norm and they were just busy.

Original Review: Pretty good value for the money. This is my favorite sushi grab-and-go. Not the absolute best, but definitely up there in quality compared to other shops.I often get the Build Your Own PokeBowl and just add all the stuff I want to eat. Easier that way to get exactly what you want. Happy hour is always a good deal if you come during that time. Some cheap maki rolls that are good and won't break the bank.My fav sushi spot in the area.Update edit 2019:Went back and at the time I write this, there's an all-out-can-eat option. If you're getting more then 3 rolls per person, this option is totally worth it. However, the whole table needs to take the option. They won't let 1 person do ala carte and the rest do AYCE or vice versa because this is to prevent cheating the system.The roll quality was on point during this visit.Update edit 2022:Haven't been since before the Pandemic. Now that things have opened up and we've been going out more, decided to see if the place was still decent or not.Prices have gone up, not surprised since everything has gone up. I didn't see options for Poke bowls so not sure if they still do this. I did AYCE. The salmon nigiri I had as part of this AYCE was a hit or miss. First order of them wasn't that great, small pieces of fish that felt like it was still just slightly frozen. The second order of them were way better, soft and larger pieces of salmon over the rice. So this experience negated itself with a bad and then good.The rolls seem smaller than I remember but with AYCE, just get more if you want more. Overall it was still a good overall experience and the food was still good enough for all-you-can-eat. I would say the quality is middle of ground. When I ate here for lunch, it was my only meal of the day I was so stuffed after. Still a good enough value for me to go again.

They offer a wide variety of options (most of them are more like fusion), since we weren't that hungry to do AYCE, we needed the time to study the menu. Our waiter wasn't very polite/patient and kind of rushed us with the order (it wasn't even close to closing time). Sashimi was very fresh and caterpillar roll pretty good too. Sunkissed tuna and Philadelphia not that tasty.

We arrived 7:30pm tonite to celebrate kid's achievement. She likes sushi. Waited 20 minutes for a table which is OK. Could have been seated faster if more staff were available to clean tables. First round AYCE came at 8:00pm which is not bad, and we immediately put in second round order. Then the problem came.We waited and waited and until 8:46pm , we still have not gotten our second round of food. Mind that it's a 2 hour AYCE, so we spent half of the time allowed waiting on one round of food. Kids are starved and began to grow grumpy and tired to a point she fell asleep on the table. Significantly understaffed, total joke for AYCE. I saw all other tables got served big plates of sushi and they filled a lot of to-go orders, just no food for us, and no respect for kid customers being hungry. Maybe they think the kids are not eating much and didn't need to take care of them or give them much food, even they pay the same price as adults, or even higher because the younger one paid $19 for approximately just one half roll of sushi and some calamaris. I demanded an update for order at 8:35pm did they start making it. I asked if they accidentally forgot to put in our order, and she said no. That mean it was deliberate that they did not work on our order for at least 35 minutes. Upon checking, I had to constantly stare at the chef's direction with a hungry look on my face to make them work on my order. They did escalate it, and the food finally came at 8:50pm. A whopping 50 minutes for just 24 pieces of sushi.I swiftly put in my 3rd order knowing how long they take to make it. This time the food came super fast at 9:00pm. So they were able to make the food fast. They just decided not to do it in the previous round.Pushing so close to store closing time, and they were reminding us the kitchen is closing and we need to order fast, we had to put in the final order before we even had time to start eating our third round. It was a lose-lose situation. We had to gobbled up a lot of sushi in a short amount of time and ordering what we don't know if we can finish, and they had to make food that could be wasted. It was no satisfaction eating in a hurry. The dining experience was totally ruined, even though the food is quite good. I asked for ice cream for the little kid cos she waited too long and didn't want anymore sushi. They only gave her a small cup. Won't even let her have second. I felt like total wasting the money paid for her AYCE. ( Before she was able to have as many ice cream as she likes. The rules have changed without letting customer know).Finally, the last order came at 9:20pm. To compensate for time lost it would only be fair if we were allowed to eat beyond the 2 hr limit. We had to eat while staff were cleaning the entire restaurant except our table, until we only have a few pieces left they then gave us our check. And we wanted our ice cream since the server said it was one per person. They refused because it was beyond the 2 hour limit. (But when my kid wanted more within the 2 hr limit they denined her. So is the ice cream AYCE, or just a compliment dessert for each customer, which now we were denied?)The food, though just buffet quality, is not bad. But service is horrible. Staff is not trained to pay attention to customer needs. Their guidelines for AYCE is not clear even the staff had to get calrity when being asked a rule. Their guidelines conflict amount themselves. The experience was a total chaos and disappointment. And because our food came late, and in turn we ate late, when we were ready for go, my younger kids was deep asleep on the booth bench.Although I still like their food, I will NEVER BRING MY KIDS HERE AGAIN. It is definitely not a family friendly restaurant, unless your kid is just a baby and won't consume any food. I will be cancelling our date with other families there. The food was also not as good as we previously had.Sorry to say, but I had to revised it from a 4 star down to a 2 star.

Best local & affordable AYCE sushi!! The rolls are made to order & the staff here are super sweet! Such a great and easy place to satisfy your sushi cravings. They have SO many unique rolls and it is super fast. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

the rudest boss in the world! our waitress made a mistake putting our order, and the manager interrupted our dinner instead of solving it in the back. it was just when we started to eat and it was a very unpleasant moment. As for the rest, the food was very good and I felt very bad for the waitress, she was very kind to us.

Trying how many sushi and rolls we can eat :) Here’s the list we tried in one sitting ?Ahi Tower, (2 orders) , Tuna Sushi, Salmon Sushi, Damu Roll, Philadelphia Roll, Spicy Rainbow Roll, 911 Roll, Ex-Boyfriend Roll, Ex-Girlfriend Roll, Sunkissed Roll and Jessie Roll .All yummy but too much food even for 3 hungry guys. Lololol

Found this very good place recently. Ordered couple of different sushis and both were very good. Menu has many options and fairly priced.Liked their layout of the restaurant. It was almost 60% packed on a week day at 9, which itself showed that they serve good food. Staff was friendly and attentive.I see myself being a regular here.

Almost 5 stars, but the sushi rice was slightly imperfect and the nigiri pieces were the smallest I've seen. The rolls were very good. The all-you-eat lunch is a good value.

Good food and very accommodating for a friend’s birthday. Thanks!
