Very average sushi, although nothing spectacular. It's edible, but I definitely won't be going there again.

Bad experience all the way around. The food was too spicy or too sweet, little to no ambiance and the service was unfriendly with a bad attitude. You would be better off spending your money elsewhere.

Absolutely disgusting!
I can't believe what I was served here. I ordered ramen, and what they brought out was literally instant noodles — like the kind you buy in a packet at the grocery store for a couple of bucks, seasoning packet and all. When you go out to eat, you expect real food, not some instant noodles thrown into a bowl and passed off as a dish.
Total rip-off and an absolute joke. Strongly advise to stay far away. Just awful.

UNHYGIENIC. Please don’t eat here!!! I ordered take out on a not-so-busy day and witnessed the hostess use her bare hands to carry a handful of tempura from the kitchen to the sushi bar. She was touching her hair, her clothes, her phone, and bussing dirty dishes from tables. If this is what happens out in the open where customers can see, I don’t want to know what happens behind the counter. I had to throw away the sushi because I completely lost my appetite and was worried I would get sick!!!!!!!

Horrible Experience - Never Going Back

I ordered the baked lobster sushi from Sushi Tyme around 7 PM. I was at the California Pasta location nearby, which was packed, but this sushi place was empty—honestly, that should’ve been my first red flag. However, I was starving and decided to give them a shot. Big mistake.

The experience was horrible from start to finish. I waited 45 minutes for my order, and when it finally arrived, the sushi was completely burnt. On top of that, the rice was so hard it physically hurt to chew. I immediately brought it back, only to wait another 30 minutes for a replacement. The entire situation was incredibly frustrating, especially since I work as a chef and understand how basic standards should be met.

To top it all off, after eating the replacement sushi, I started throwing up. I’m convinced the food was bad. This was by far the worst sushi experience I’ve ever had. I will never return, and I’ll make sure to warn others not to waste their time or money here. Absolutely terrible.
