good food, but this guy can't take negative reviews with constructive criticism, which in turn is negatively impacting his business. what a vicious cycle. if only kitchen nightmares with gordon ramsay still existed...
edit: anyone who has a differing opinion is just "inaccurate" and "wrong" to the owner. interesting.

The tempura was good, the build and presentation of the sushi looked good, but the taste wasn't there. For some reason, this area likes to keep the fish at room temperature and it affects the texture and flavor of the fish. There were also quite a few flies, most of them babies so there is breeding happening on site or near enough to be considered the same. The gentleman at the counter was plenty nice and courteous. The ayce aspect of this restaurant is more when they want to/can not something to plan on going into the restaurant.
Parking: This whole part of champaign is awful to find parking in. Makes the experience even worse than it already was.

Sushi was great, crab rangoon was one the best I've had around here. And AYCE deal works good for me!

I've been to lots of sushi places in Champaign but this is my new favorite. Everything is incredibly fresh, the salmon is the best I've ever had - noticeably better than some of the other places I've been to. The atmosphere is very laid-back and homey. The owner, William, is good-natured and welcoming. 10/10 stars.

It was my 1st time here and the Customer service here is terrible. I’ve had better sushi in Champaign/urbana. Once I had let them know I was not satisfied with my sushi they wouldn’t give me a refund. Please go spend ur money elsewhere!!!
Loved this place so much! The sushi was great and the fish tasted really fresh. My friends and I didn't have to wait long for our food, but even if we had, there's so much in this place to look at that I'm sure the time would have flown right by. This is the place to go if you want a real "hole in the wall" restaurant experience with fantastic food to boot. Also gotta appreciate the moxie of the owners for just straight up arguing with the people who leave bad reviews. It's hilarious and feels so much more human and genuine than those businesses that try and kiss up to anyone who comes into their place. I wish I wasn't leaving Champaign so soon or I'd definitely be going here again. If you live nearby, do me a favor and give this place all the business you can—you won't regret it.

We got the all you can eat sushi for $30. They have a few rules. Mainly that every piece of sushi left is an extra $1 to combat food waste. But their sushi itself was amazing. The were kind of large compared to the sushi I'm used to so be careful and try and order 2 rolls at a time. Where we sat was vary sketchy looking. Boxes everywhere and a shower curtain hanging up randomly. Poorly lit and just not an eye pleaser. But their food was really good and the man taking my order was really friendly. Oh and you have to walk there. There is no way to park anywhere around that campus.
Parking: On campus it is vary difficult to find any kind of parking. There are some paid parking meters. But we went on a Sunday in February and all of them were taken. We ended up going to a free parking garage. And there was plenty of space I'm them. Probably a mile to a mile and a half walk in total. But we went to a few places.

Saw some bad reviews AFTER we sat down so we were a little skeptical - very average experience. Food was fine - service was pretty fast - definitely got our money’s worth - atmosphere was WEIRDDDD. There were signs posted everywhere and some of them were very odd fees for things like leaving a mess or specifically if you got the endless sushi: anything left over you were charged $1 per piece. Maybe I get it? So odd - overall a fine experience - food settled well and was enjoyable!

Incredibly average to good sushi place. Felt like I truly got my moneys worth which is exactly right in the middle. The man at the counter was kind and the food came out quickly. Portions were generous/standard and the place was clean but in need of some updating. There were several signs for different fees you could incur if you didn’t follow directions so we followed directions. All in all, after worrying a bit after some of the other reviews I would probably not hurry to return but wouldn’t go out of my way to avoid this place either. I don’t think I’ll be recommending to a friend anytime soon but overall had a pleasant dining experience and one big plus was they have very good ginger that isn’t dyed and packs a nice fresh punch after your meal. Solid middle of the road sushi place.
