Aside from the price, I had a mostly great experience here. The decor and general feel of the restaurant was top notch. It had a pretty good vibe and a great atmosphere. The wait staff was generally friendly and did her best to keep up with our extremely large order. We started with miso soup, which was good. Some miso is far too salty, this was not the case here. We also tried the eggrolls, the chicken yakitori and the duck rolls. All were excellent, though Id say the size of the meat and vegetables for the yakitori left a lot to be desired. Our sushi was simply not up to standard, not enough eel in the eel and cucumber and I have to admit that to me its just not a dragon roll without crab stick. We ended up ordering a few eel sashimi instead. As far as our main course, I ordered the Malaysian Curry with Chicken which turned out to be fantastic, though lacking in sauce. Ive never had a curry with so little sauce for my rice. It however was a good meel aside from the egg plant, but thats personal preference. My nephew enjoyed his fried rice, but my fiancee wasnt a fan of her cashew chicken. The meat was a little over cooked and it felt lackluster compared to others Ive tasted. It felt there was nothing more to it than its generic brown sauce. Still felt like it wasnt that bad,but my fiancee was disappointing in it. Overall it was a pleasant dining experience and you should check it out.

All you can eat sushi/sashimi at a wonderful price! That pretty much sums it up why I come here a handful of times every few months. Not only is the sushi/sashimi priced fairly for all you can eat standards, but the fish is actually fresh, plentiful, and delicious! The rest of the menu is worth an exploration as well. I saw another reviewer suggest the Thai dishes, and I would have to second that. The staff is super polite and highly attentive to your needs. The prices are affordable and there is never a wait no matter how packed the place is whenever I go. Only complaint is I could do without the thumping pop/dance music playing over the speakers, it can tend to be a little too much when the place is rather quiet. Otherwise, I would highly recommend you give this place a try; especially the all you can eat sushi/sashimi lunch ($15) or dinner ($ 25)!

My husband and I thought wed try a new sushi place and saw this had good reviews. When we walked in it look like a nice place however, there was no one at the front to greet us. We awkwardly stood at the front for 5 minutes while staff walked by completely ignoring us and the bartender whom I know saw us did not say a word either. Finally a girl came to the front and took our same and said there would be a 10 minute wait. We were ok with that so we went to the bar. We sat at the bar, again the bar tender ignored us not a hello, or I be with you in a minute, or menus nothing!!! And he walked by us at least 6 times and even addressed people right next to us. It was the worst experience weve ever had in a restaurant. Needless to say we walked out and will never go back. First impression is everything in a restaurant.

The staff at this place are the RUDEST restaurant staff Ive EVER encountered in my entire life. I had my 87 year old Japanese mother with me along with my special needs son. The host up front was rude and impertinent with me when I asked if they had a childs menu. The waiter was impatient, irreverent and snarky. When I called him on it, he made the excuse that he had other tables to take care of. Instead of attempting to order anything in an effort to enjoy a relaxing dinner, we ordered some sushi for my mother and left. It was pretty clear, this establishment isnt concerned with customer service or satisfaction. If youre looking for a friendly environment, you wont find it here. If I could give ZERO stars I would. Do NOT recommend.

Wanted to go to Kero Sushi, but it was closed for renovations. Decided to settle for this place instead; what a mistake. After over an hour of waiting for our food (place was relatively empty), they brought out half of our meal. My wife never got her avocado salad. My son never got his food. My wifes roll had masago on it, even though we specifically asked for to not have it since she is pregnant. When we had them send it back, they brought the same roll out, having brushed about 75% of the masago off. I asked for a manager and he was extremely rude to us. I then told him I didnt feel like we should pay for our food, so he kicked us out. My son never ended up receiving his food.

Very good sushi, that is made fresh to order! They have a great lunch special, but not so much for dinner. They do not have the best All you can eat, made fresh sushi deal, but they have one for $14.95 for lunch and $21.95 for dinner. Lunch does not come with any speciality rolls and the more you keep ordering the less they bring you, the quality also decreases a bit. For example you order several eel rolls, then amount of eel in the roll gets smaller and smaller. On the up side if you dont have a lot of money, but you are in the mood for sushi, then for lunch you can buy 2 rolls for $7.95 or 3 rolls for $10 and it comes with soup and salad.

My new favorite sushi restaurant. All you can eat sushi for lunch for $15. The crispy spicy tuna roll is both mine and my wifes favorite roll. There hasnt been anything I ordered that I didnt like. If you dont finish your sushi, they supposedly make you pay for it a la carte, but that hasnt been an issue for me. You can order as many times as you want to make sure you dont order too much. If you get there before the noon lunch rush, you basically have the place to yourself and have really fast service.

Our waitress was so rude. Worst experience ever and she made us feel like they did not want us there. Well we wont be going back! If you want all you cant eat sushi-go to sushi king it is so much cheaper and they dont limit the type of rolls you get! Got green tea ice cream at the end after waiting 20 minutes for our waitress to come check on us I had to call her over to ask for it and it wasnt even busy. Ice cream was so hard and freezer burned we could barely eat it.

I have been coming here for years and it never dissapoints. Great pan Asian food of all types. Something to please everyone. Love the all you can eat sushi menu. Reasonably priced if you eat more than a few things. $15.95 for lunch and $25.95 for dinner with a choice of 4-5 soups, 4 salads, basic rolls and nigiri. Dinner includes one specialty roll with additional ones for $2 extra. You can get your moneys worth if you are hungry. Service is always polite and good.

Service is awful. The waitress was more interested in making sure we knew if we didnt eat something we were going to be charged more then actually bringing our food to the table. The sushi is mostly rice with fairly thin fish. The rice is bland and warm which changes the flavor of the fish. The best service we received was from the drink runner (The waitress doesnt deal with your drinks) he received a way vetter tip then our actual server.
