I'm back at this restaurant and it hasn't disappoint me yet! I brought my son today and he is in heaven! I don't know why it says it's close when it's open? But it's under new management. The all you can eat menus are great and the food is amazing. For the money you paying it's worth the food your eating. Very tasty and decent size portions not to much rice! The service is definitely on point! I know the previous times I've been here service was okay and they would take a long time to feed you but this time around I give them 5 stars! Definitely upgraded in the service department...I definitely recommend this place come try it out! Definitely the best all you can eat place I've eaten! They give you good portions

I am so glad we found this place. Delicious food, good prices and friendly service. A lot of locals eat there not at the pick time.

I have absolutely NO complaints! Came here with a craving for multiple things. I was having a strong craving for salmon and beef with rice so this bento hit the spot!Our order came with a miso soup to start, love that. The tempura was just right, not oily and perfectly crispy, the way tempura should be. The sashimi was fresh and paired well with everything on the plate. Bulgogi was delicious and tender. The portions are unbelievably generous here. Bang for you buck!Service was quick and everyone was so friendly. We even got complimentary Melona ice creams at the end of our meal, so sweet of them!The restaurant is spacious and we had no trouble with seating since we visited during a weekday. I had such a great experience and I can't wait to visit again.

EDIT: Some of us got kind of sick :( Not feeling great, thus demoting a starHad high expectations for this place but overall quality was mid. I saw it recommended on Tiktok for AYCE, but we came for a quick a la carte lunch; the bento boxes seemed like a good deal! For $18.95 you can get miso soup, tempura, salad, rice, and a choice of 2 entrees from a list (no substitutions). The miso soup's tofu already tasted like it was going bad! The tempura came with lotus root, sweet potato, zucchini, carrot, broccoli, and a shishito pepper; taste was good but the tempura dipping sauce was like water :(I got the sushi and salmon teriyaki options and both felt a bit lacking: the sushi fish seemed not super fresh and was falling apart from the nigiri rice. Overall, AYCE places seem not the best for a la carte quality. The portion size is large but hard to finish.Service was great though! Super nice wait staff.

Came across this place through a viral video on IG. As I'm sure a few of us have now. I'm a fan of sushi and a fan of AYCE. So, had to try it out. Got here a little before rush hour. So, we got lucky on not having to wait to be seated and our order came out quick. It's a small place so I can see how on the weekends there can be a long wait. There is either street parking or free parking right next to their building for an 1 hr and 30 minSeriously..this place for sure has some of the freshest fish in the valley, and for AYCE too. They have their regular option of $45 or their premium for $55. Although you can only order their premium items 1x. Not a fan of that rule but hey I don't make them. Wish they would at least consider it 2x because at least you get 4 piece of each. Their red crab was my top favorite. Also why I wish I would have been able to order it more than 1x. Their tuna is so thick and tender. Don't forget to order their yellow collar, and it just melted in your mouth. Thank you Zach for the incredible service and for taking the time to explain some items on the menu and for the recommendations. David thanks for the dessert :) To the the two chefs that gave us thee dirtiest look for sending back the uni. We apologize, as I'm sure it was rude and wasteful but we were just unable to force the extra 2 pieces down our throats. We know now to never order that again. But it would be nice to not made feel bad about it, as we are already embarrassed for not liking it. Definitely plan on coming again.

WOW! This place is NO JOKE! Came here because of TikTok & it was even more amazing than I expected! (& I had extremely high hopes from the start!) To start, & to WARN!!!! These rolls are HUGE! They do NOT skimp! So be careful during your first round of ordering!!! I made the biggest mistake & ordered way too much because I did not expect the rolls & apps to be so huge! Even though everything was so massive, the quality did NOT lack! Everything was extremely fresh & beautifully plated as well.The servers & sushi chefs were the friendliest people we have ever met. They were so welcoming, attentive & you can tell they truly love their jobs. They all made me feel at home & I can't wait to be a regular here. It is SUCH a vibe here! Good times, great conversations with the staff & amazing food. I recommend you come here.. RUN! TikTok with videos of the food coming soon! (@PlasticGymRat)

This place right here... gastronomically amazing! I don't know what the negative reviews are all about but let me say that any place that becomes famous or popular EXPECT to wait not because it's bad service but a lot of people I think lack the knowledge of running a business, that sometimes there's people who don't see their limits and get extra bougie with the kind of attention they want! And if you have to wait you'll have only negative reviews but not mine! With that said, Attention OWNER of this magical place: The food was fantastic The freshness and quality of the fish is something simply beautiful! Especially when being served by a a great chef ‍ like Fernando! He was so on point on what my palette was craving! I am a huge fan of talent and this young man has it! He created beautiful dishes with the right amount of everything! Just enough sauce to not over power and lose the taste of fish, he's super quick and very friendly! The Premium pricey but SOOOOO deliciously worth it! If you are looking for real quality sushi and leave with a happy heart, I recommend Chef Fernando and this very well organized sushi joint! The staff was kind and again, although you might wait, enjoy your food, enjoy the ambiance, and most of all enjoy the hard work and effort they put into it! A chef cooks with the heart here! Thank you Fernando and the staff for a beautiful experience!

Heard about this place on an instagram reel. It talked about this amazing sushi that has premium quality fish at all you can eat pricing. We knew we had to try this out! We got the regular all you can eat and sat at the bar. Even though there were empty tables when we got there we were told we had to wait 30 mins to get a table. We ended up getting a table at the bar where the sushi chefs are. The chefs are very friendly but the staff were a bit overwhelmed with only 2 serving the whole restaurant. Would have liked a bit more explanation on how to order everything but we figured it out at the end. I think they should update the menu to show how many pieces come for each item as the all you can eat menu is different to the regular menu. At the end we ordered quite a lot for two and calculated it. It would have pretty much been the same if we just ordered a La carte, so make sure to go hungry! Enjoy!

The food was great for the price and we were seated immediately during what seemed like rush hour.I'm a little confused why they have random ghetto music blasting. Last thing I would like to listen to is Cardi B talking about her WAP while eating raw fish.

Never try. Order premium, so sad, waste money.About 5 tables, 4 sushi men, but we get sushi and roll after 30 minutes. Kitchen food came fast. I read review sushi oder came late.Roll is not good. Sushi is average. Ramen is soggy, and soup is Waterly, no flavor.

Came here after I saw a post about them on IG and a friend told me about it that morning. I was excited and I looked over their menu and there was a lot of premium options and the pictures looked amazing. My husband and I came in on a Sunday evening around 5pm and we had to wait about 25-30 mins which wasn't too bad. The location is nice since it was near the Glendale Portos. There's a parking structure right behind it and I think it was a dollar or something not too sure. We were seated at the bar and our chef was really chill. He was attentive to our needs and he told us that he will give us our food in a good order where we could enjoy our entrees. I was a bit sad that there were no uni and abalone when we went, so if you plan to go and get those items, make sure you call and see if they still have some! The premium items were all delicious and the fish were very fresh. I enjoyed the oysters and the sashimis. The sushi nigiris, the rice is good but there was a bit too much ratio to fish ratio in my opinion. it did seem a bit overwhelming but after having all the items in their specialty I was getting full already. I do recommend this place for all the sushi lovers out there.

I'll echo the sentiments of some of the other reviewers: you need to eat here before the word gets out and it's just too crowded. The fish is very fresh and delicious! There are no limits as to the number of items you can order for a round and there was no time limit at all. I don't know if there was a limit as to the number of rounds but after like two rounds ordering a good amount I was just about doneI would say the premium AYCE price is definitely worth it as you get some of the best tasting stuff on their menu. The blue fin tuna, the Spanish mackerel, the sex on the beach, just so many really amazing things and you could almost say just that alone is worth the price of the premium. I didn't personally like the live abalone but I think that's just personal preferenceA few pieces of advice: I would give are don't underestimate how big the appetizers are (seriously they do not skimp here) so if you mostly want the sushi (because that's obviously what you're there for), at most order one appetizer for every two people. There were these super mussels we ordered two orders of thinking it would be one of two mussels per order.... Nope, THERE WERE FOUR... Large mussels too and by the time we were done there just wasn't enough room for everything else. Similarly we ordered the crispy fried scallops and there was a whole plate full of them. Also, I wouldn't sit at the bar unless you're ok with plates being handed past you constantly. That's just the reality of eating at kind of a small placeWill definitely come here again, it's not cheap by any means but it's delicious and fresh and worth it and you get to try a bunch of different things. Oh and the staff was really nice and charming

Had all you can eat sushi which was really good with lots of variety. Just don’t order anything with teriyaki sauce (gel). I ordered the steak teriyaki appetizer and could barely stomach the gooey texture of the sauce.
