If you like Sushi like I like Sushi this is the place with their AYCE menu. Laura is an amazing person to know, great energy. The staff is very attentive and knowledgeable, I always enjoy going there. When you go tell them you read Don's review, thanks! Enjoy

Always a good time. We love manager Laura! Service is good, despite being busy the waiter will always check on you and asking for the check is super fast too. I appreciate their promptness

Had the premium AYCE. Everything was good except the salmon skin salad. They use a good amount of sauce on most items. They give big chunks of fish in the nigiri, but they give you a good amount of rice with it.
The staff were efficient. The food came out pretty fast.
I knocked out when I got home, and slept for a long, long time. What was in the sauce/food? lol
Plenty of free lot parking.

Our family came in for dinner, and my kids were really looking forward to the white rice (thats the only thing they eat). We ordered it as soon as we sat down, but it never arrived. We had to tell a few people before we receive it. Our waiter rarely checked on us, and we had to repeatedly flag someone down to get help.

Had an amazing experience overall at this spot for their Sunday brunch All-You-Can-Eat (AYCE)! For $40, the value is very competitive, and I would definitely recommend it.
The highlight for me was the sushi itself. They get the fish-to-rice ratio just right, with generous portions of fish and smaller amounts of rice. This was a huge plus, as it allowed us to sample a lot more from their abundant menu without getting full too quickly.
The service was another standout feature. The staff was incredibly attentive, and our orders arrived impressively fast, usually in less than five minutes. A practical bonus is the ample parking, which made the whole experience hassle-free from the start.
There were a few minor things that could be improved. The menu seemed a bit outdated; it listed the salmon kama as two per table, but we were told the limit was actually one. We also ordered the agedashi tofu, which arrived breaded and fried, unlike the picture on the menu. While our first order of baked mussels was delicious, the second round was unfortunately a bit overcooked. It's also worth noting for potential visitors that uni is not included in the AYCE menu.
Despite these small hiccups, the overall experience was fantastic. The quality of the sushi, fast service, and great pricing make this a spot I will certainly be returning to!

I came here for a late lunch with three of my friends and went for the full AYCE lunch special. For $34 before tax and tip, that's a pretty decent price for the amount a quality. You get 1.5 hours, three rounds to order, and 10 pieces of sushi per person per round (you can order anything else on the menu too). Even if you ordered nothing else but sushi, that's 30 pieces of sushi per person. We got stuffed due to the foolishness of my friend ordering several other items besides the sushi, that we literally could not order anything for the third round due to being so full.
The quality of the dishes was fantastic. The salmon has that buttery taste that lets you know it's good quality. The pieces are also longer than the rice itself, so the rice to fish ratio is great. I love unagi and we made sure to max out our unagi orders and it was totally worth it! Even if you came for the cheaper AYCE sushi roll lunch special, I'd expect you'd still feel you got your money's worth. Highly recommend you give this place a try!

Good AYCE sushi. Inside is modern with a good amount of seating. It's good for groups. They accommodated our group of 8 well. We made a reservation but they also do walk-ins. They're only doing one set with the full menu but I think it's worth it. The sushi was good. I liked their specialty rolls and their izakaya items.
Service was good. Friendly and attentive staff. Easy parking in the shopping center lot.

This was my first visit and I wasn't disappointed! The all you can eat option was excellent ?, my cousins and I had four rounds until we had satisfied our appetites! I liked how they updated the restaurant from the previous occupants! I definitely will recommend and be back!
