Sushi is extremely fresh and very delicious; the portions - especially the lunch menu ones- are ENORMOUS! And very reasonably priced; you get soup and a side salad all for under 20 bucks plus a mountain of whatever dish you order. The sashimi is pricier, but I think for the quality it’s worth it. The only downside is that sometimes the service can be a little slow when they’re very busy.
Food pretty average and was expecting more considering the rating (4.6 at the time).
Gyoza were decent but sauce was mostly just soy sauce that was overly salty.
Spicy Tuna turned out to just be a giant 'meatball' of spicy tuna (I was expecting more like a spicy tuna roll)
Chicken katsu was nice, but Ton Kotsu was very dry.
Nigiri were rather small and tasted pretty fishy, etc...

Overall everything was pretty average...
Good food. Fast, great service. Spacious seating. Lots of parking. Solid.

First time I tried Ukai, I was in my third trimester so ordered cooked rolls only, which I don't love in general but it got the job done with satiating the craving. Shrimp tempura roll was stacked and good. Did not like the Lion King roll--too sweet and way too saucy for me.

Came back and got a few tekka and sake maki rolls and loved the freshness of the fish. Good...
