| - This place is the same as the other place. I ended up waiting half an hour for a somewhat lousy rainbow roll (some of the fish fell off the top) and a dry spicy tuna roll (I believe it was sitting for about 10 mins before it came). This place may have an authentic appearance with an "artistic" appearance (if you call sprinkling too much seasoning on top of a spicy tuna roll, not like it needs seasoning on top in the first place). The sushi "chefs" were just messing around the whole time, meanwhile my date and I went in at 7:30, and left at 9:30, what'd we get that took that long? 3 rolls and 10 orders of nigiri (other places would take about 30 mins to make all this, I get the same thing at every AYCE restaurant, and 2 hours is just ridiculous).
I felt like I was the test subject, as I saw one of the kitchen workers from the back making my sushi WITHOUT gloves (according to SNHD gloves must be worn when preparing ready to eat food). After having the roll sent back, the chef came to my table and said that the best Japanese restaurants in the world don't use gloves, that may pertain to the BEST Japanese restaurant, but certainly not a mediocre restaurant like this (he came to the table to argue).
The rice was either undercooked, or crunchy. Either way, that's not how any of the rolls should be (considering they never went in the oven). Their dinner price is $26.95 (or something around that $.95 mark), which is the same price as other sushi restaurants. The difference? Other sushi restaurants offer Sweet shrimp, sea urchin, and salmon eggs for dinner. This place has none of those. You're basically paying the $7 difference (compared to $20 lunch) just because it's past a certain time, they do not offer the same dinner time perks as other restaurants.
In the beginning (past 2012) this "chain" restaurant was very good. But over the years it's gotten worse and worse. Do yourself a favor, go somewhere else, Sushi Loca, Krazy Sushi, Sushi Ko are all relatively close to this restaurant. Choose those places before choosing this place.
The positives of my meal here, the lemonade was amazing. It really helped with the dry, undercooked/crunchy rice they serve. The issue is that they understaffed, the issue is that the "chefs" messed around the whole time and let the kitchen workers learn how to make sushi (allowing me, the customer, to be the guinea pig). I have no idea how they have two establishments. It's beyond me. But both are equally a disgrace to AYCE restaurants everywhere. The only reason why we ended up coming here is cause all the other sushi restaurants had a wait time of 30+ mins while this place was half empty (in retrospect I should've ran out the door, but I'm a sushi addict sooo....)
