The owners are two of the kindest, considerate, and hard-working people you will come to know.The level of care they put into their food, is the same as the level of care they give to first-time or returning diners.Our family has been coming here or ordering takeout for nearly 20 years!We recommend the volcano roll, chicken teriyaki, 18 piece sushi platter or the red thai curry, but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

Sushi was stale and dry.Ordered a tom yam soup- asked specifically if they use any broths. They said only tomato shrimp and mushrooms but I smelled some meat after getting it. When I asked what the broth is- they said chicken broth which I don't eat.Never going

I had not been to Mayflower in a few years. It seems like a lot has changed. The dining roomis a lot bigger and there is a kiosk to order your food.The food taste a little different from what I remember. I typically get the same thing. A teriyaki platter and a sushi roll.I ordered the chicken teriyaki. The sauce and flavor were great. I just would have liked a little more of the sauce. In the past the chicken teriyaki combo used to come with a California roll and a little side salad.I also ordered a shrimp tempura roll. The roll did not come out at the same time as my entree which was not a big deal. The roll was dry. I want to say that the shrimp was overcooked. I was disappointed because I didn't think you could mess up a simple shrimp tempura roll.I know there are plenty of other places out there and I guess they are not the same as they used to be.

Not the best sushi I’ve had. It was just okay. I has the spicy tuna, spicy salmon, sweet potato roll and the vegetable tempura. The fish in the sushi was really big instead of being diced. If ordering take out I would not follow the doordash app that tells you when the food is ready. Mine was incorrect and several others complained of the same with ordering take out.

$85 for small rolls and taste like pre-made, the wasbi was even dry and crumbly and the ginger look like small blankets of dryers sheets. The two stars is just the graded curve! If there was a way to get my money back I would be the 1st in line ,yet I don't that will happen... about to.go eat fried chicken wings and fries to balance out my taste buds and then some

The service can sometimes be slow and they appear to be skimping on the electric bill to maybe save money? Last time we were in the AC was off and just a box fan was blowing very humid stuffy air around. It doesn't create a welcoming environment.
Excellent food! The sweet potato roll was to die for and the miso soup was excellent!

I have been a die-hard fan of this place for 12+ years, I first wrote my review back in 2011 but I started coming here earlier. It used to be a little hole-in-the-wall and it has since renovated and expanded into the neighboring storefront. I was very happy with them for the longest time. Recently my fiance and I tried to go here for our date night, and like...it seems to have changed to a cafeteria-style dine-in where you have to order at a touchscreen. When we came in and said we wanted a table for two, the man at the counter seemed pretty rude to us, he just pointed at the touchscreen and was like, you order there. I found myself frustrated with the touchscreen because it didn't show some of the items I've ordered in the past, like the Udon noodle soup, which used to be on the menu but wasn't on the recent iteration of the menu, but they've always still made it for me, they've made it for years but then like...it wasn't listed. And they also didn't have a way to order tap water. I don't like ordering bottled water in a restaurant. I don't mind paying more for food, and when I have service I always tip well. And I also don't mind serve-yourself cafeteria-style dining. But like...this place did a lousy job of communicating and navigating the change and it was really frustrating. Like you need to at least put up a sign or something and also I think it would be appropriate to like, be a bit more explanatory or apologetic instead of just pointing at the touchscreen. It's a big change when you go from a restaurant with sit-down service to a cafeteria-style setup where you order at a touchscreen. Just...this place did not navigate the transition well and because it was sprung on me by surprise and with rudeness it left a sour taste in our mouths and I am not sure either of us will want to come back. Like, my fiance is a very calm, go-with-the-flow type person who doesn't get upset about things very easily, and she was really upset about this, so I think that says a lot.

The food was excellent and served in a timely fashion. The owners are very friendly. They have a lot of variety, and we tried their Massaman chicken, beef teriyaki, and salmon teriyaki. The sweet potato tempura rolls are our favorite appetizer. We highly recommend this restaurant!

I had to wait so long for my order!! My sushi was not looking so hot either! Fish was dry and my avocado was brown! I only had a five minute drive home!

We ordered from Mayflower last night, got home and were missing a Shrimp Tempura roll. Never had this happen before, they were really nice about it on the phone, said they had to speak to the manager and would call me back. Two minutes later, asked for my address and sent a driver with the missed item. I wasn’t expecting that, a refund would have sufficed, but they went out of their way to make the error right. I did not want to have to return back to the restaurant at 7:45pm. The food was very good, first time getting the Kirin and it was fantastic! We ordered the 3 Roll Special, Special B (which had the Kirin roll and 3 others), Green and Garden Rolls, Shrimp Tempura roll and a salad. Fresh sushi and rolls, great prices, and I noticed they keep your order in the small refrigerator until you arrive!
