Great Sushi Buffet! You order all the items you think you can eat, and the apps came out first - seaweed salad was great - then your plate of sushi arrives. Very well priced, you get a lot for your money!

This is probably the worst AYCE place around Boston.
The food is terrible even for AYCE standards. The beef definitely smells old, like when you left them for days in the fridge instead of the freezer. All the sauces are straight up tasteless liquid. The tempuras are soaked with oil and smell bad like they reused the oil too many times. The sushi is not rolled tight enough and falling apart. The types of sushi are interesting, very Americanized but I have to say very different from other places.
I’ve been there two times. The first time was for weekday lunch and there were only 1-2 other tables there so the service was timely. The second time was a Friday dinner so the place was packed. However, both times there was only one lady running the whole place from checking out to serving tables. While I empathize with her but the service I got was lacking. The business should hire more people to help her, at least during busy hours. The sushi chefs seem to be short staffed as well because my order took forever to come out on Friday. I literally only got 2 rounds within 2 hours of being there.
Probably would not come back.

My friends and I ADORE this place. Their unlimited/AYCE sushi is unbeatable and reasonably priced. You order off of a paper menu, writing down what you'd like, then they make everything fresh. The AYCE menu includes apps, nigiri, sushi, rolls, hand rolls, ice cream, tempura and probably other things I'm forgetting. The woman who hosts and waitresses is kind and competent. You can order more than once to pace yourself. My favorite place!!!

My husband and I went in and we’re super excited based off of prior reviews that we read we sat down, and we handed a piece of paper and a pencil to be able to order their “buffet”. The sushi was good BUT we ordered other things on the menu like their chicken and beef teriyaki chicken, lo mein, and barbecue beef. Rancid inedible!!!! The beef and chicken teriyaki were both watery and tasteless with just teriyaki sauce drizzled on top. The beef was not trimmed so it was all fat. The barbecue beef was completely sour, not trimmed, just a plate of fat with a watery sauce. This ultimately made my husband very sick. He ended up going outside and throwing up because of how terrible it turned his stomach not even 5 minutes after eating it. The man was just a Ramen noodle package with a tiny bit of chicken. There was no flavor. The waitress was super nice and we ended up not being charged for our meal because my husband got so sick. The waitress was very attentive and sweet! Personally, we will not be back

I've had good experiences here, but this time, it was just not that good. The entrees were good but not much to talk about special. The entrees were the only reason why it got 2 stars in the first place. When we had been sitting down, we were given lukewarm water with no ice(on a hot day), which wasn't a big deal, but the table behind us actually had ice in their water. I don't know if she had forgotten about the ice or if it was something else. Next and the biggest reason was the desert, we ordered the fried cheesecake which we had before and it was delicious, one of my families all-time favorite deserts. This time, however, we were met with disappointment as the cheesecake was only fried on the bottom with everything else having a yellowish tiny, but the taste was even worse with a powdery texture likely from the flour. Next time, I'll likely go to a different place as this experience is definitely gonna change my opinion on this place.

Had always driven by this place and we finally stopped in for sushi! They've got an all-you-can-eat sushi buffet (just order all the sushi you want) and they keep bringing it out. Would definitely recommend the Winchester, House Dragon, and Sweetheart sushi rolls.

I'm a big fan of sushi and I go when I do have time but when I do it's always nice! Comfortable and the service is on point. The food is clean and delicious if you are into sushi.

Though it's not cheap (about $35 per person), the price is quite good for what you get: freshly-made all you can eat sushi bar. It's not a buffet, items are made when you order them. If you're a light eater it's probably not worth it.
The sushi itself is very good but not outstanding. The fish is fresh but the cuts are on the small side. They offer maki, hand rolls, and nigiri. There are even many special rolls on offer.
It's popular with families and quite small inside, so get there early or late unless you don't mind a wait and a lot of noisy children.
Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp from parking lot, they will move tables to accommodate chairs.

The only person serving was rude waiting for us to finish also staring at us if we’re sharing.
Non professional service at all so rude person like we’re eating for free .
Shouldn’t be working in that place at all .

The absolute worst Japanese/sushi restaurant we have ever been to. Looks like a run down hole in the wall as soon as you walk in. Sometimes these turn out to be the best places which we were hopeful for. It was quite busy when we arrived. That too gave us hope.Hard to complain too much about the service. One poor lady was running the whole restaurant. Not another server to be found. Seemed quite unfair to her and certainly for us customers. It took an hour to get our main courses. Hot apps were cold and the $14 spicy tempura sushi roll we ordered as an app was not a full roll. Four tiny pieces that were not at all spicy. However, they were a soggy mess. I had to wait about 10-15 minutes longer for my main course than the rest of my family. Mine was sushi and theirs were cooked meals. Part of my order was missing . I had to wait even longer for them to prepare that. I wasn’t given soy sauce or the usual small dish given for dipping the sushi. When I asked for it the server gave me a tiny plastic to go condiment container. Apparently she ran out of the dishes other diners seemed to be using. It was not big enough to dip the sushi in so I used the app plate.Our first impression was correct…..this is a hole in the wall. Will be happy tomorrow if none of us wake up with a stomach ache.

My absolute go to for all you can eat sushi as the quality is top-notch something you don't normally expect from an all-you-can-eat sushi place

Beef, they served. It's too tough and the shrimp tempora, it's too much oil and the scallop tempora, the scallop is about a quarter of an inch, they are being cheap. The roll, they have too much rice not enough meat. White Fish, they used for the roll is not a good fish. I am not going to go there agin. I wouldn't recommend.
