I was skeptical to go here because of the previous reviews but I'm glad I did. I am a vegetarian and had the sweet potato rolls and the avocado and cucumber rolls, the edamame and the Thai spring rolls. It was delicious, some of the best sushi I've ever eaten. The waitress was attentive and not pushy or hovering at all. The person I went with had sushi with fish and he said it was great as well.

The worst sushi I’ve ever had in my life. When this place first opened, it was decent. Average sushi for its price. I had sushi there last night and everything was disgusting and unseasoned. You can tell the rice was old and dry. The sushi had no flavor to it. I’m pretty sure they didn’t put sushi seasoning on the rice. It was literally just rice and fish. Rice and fish alone is very hard to eat. The chicken katsu was a hunk of dry chicken dipped in batter. The hibachi chicken tasted very bland. Not even the teriyaki sauce saved it. The only thing that tasted good was the ice cream. I don’t know how this place is still in business, because it was clear they didn’t give a crap about the sushi they were serving us. Service was very very slow, and sushi took very long to come out. I also want to add that I had very bad indigestion all throughout the next day. I’m thinking that it may of been from the tuna because it tasted pretty rancid.?

I don’t like to leave bad reviews but this was the worst meal ever. We both like Chicken Teriyaki and usually go to the other sushi place in town but wanted to try this one. The chicken was rubbery like it was microwaved and it tasted terrible even when we drowned it with teriyaki sauce. The waitresses seemed mad when we complained and switched staff on us they didn’t understand why we weren’t happy. The food was just terrible and the service was sub par. We are in the restaurant business so we know what it’s like and this place just didn’t meet the standards of Asian food.

Food was awful. Overcooked and old. Felt we would get sick ordering their food. They wanted us to pay full price and rargued with us about payment for food we didn't couldn't eat.
This review will be two parts. First, the 'all you can eat' trap, and second, the food quality.
Any time I hear "all you can eat", my scam alarm goes off. Despite this, my friend dragged me here. Immediately, I realized the 'catch' with the ordering system. You pay a flat fee, and are able to order from a limited menu of appetizers/sushi/entrees - the catch is that you are charged EXTRA for any dish you don't completely finish. We ate everything we ordered, so this was not an issue, but it is DEFINITELY not clearly advertised beyond a vague 'please do not waste food' message on the menu. Furthermore, a la 'olive garden', your orders are deliberately slowed down in an attempt to reduce ordering. They even tried getting us to stop by placing the receipt on the table. Nice try. The portion sizes for some dishes are also HILARIOUSLY small. This is definitely a trap for the unfamiliar. We recognized it and planned our meal accordingly, thereby avoiding being 'had' by the trap- but it is there, and you should be aware. After tip and tax, it will be at least $40, so bear that in mind while ordering.
The food quality varied by dish. The sushi roll was acceptable, and all the appetizers we tried were alright. That said, the hibachi dishes (beef/chicken) were hilariously small (both the size of the chunks, AND the plate size) - of course you can order as many as you want- I would recommend ordering one first to see how measly it is, and then ordering 4 or 5 to get an actual hibachi sized dish.

Food and service used to be so good but the sushi rolls keep falling apart. The texture and taste is weird and different from how sushi is supposed to taste. Also, there is NO SIGN stating the age range for kids anywhere inside and/or outside the restaurant, or the menu! It was all verbal.

The place and the foods were great but the service was bad they gave us the check early for no reason and also came to tell us that if we don’t eat we need to pay like 3 times and they were also 3 waitress that came to tell us the same thing at the sane time just like grouping and telling us the same thing I would probably say that we weren’t there for even and hour, we tried to get the check and they ignored us like 3 times. They were other people that actually left food to on their plates. They charges us which is fine for the food that we didn’t eat (like probably 7 pieces of sushi) and they asked us for tip after basically just coming every five minutes to tell us that we need to pay.

Not a huge fan of the food. Some of the fish were not the freshest. I am reluctant to give bad reviews but this is a second time where the fish were just not good. The price has increased but I don’t think the quality of the food matches the price. The wait staff were great.
