| - Sunday dinner for two here, we were pleasantly surprised to find the all-you-can-eat pricing is set up $24.99 Sunday to Thursday, and increased on Friday and Saturday. It wasn't overly packed but there was a decent dinner crowd. The spot is easy to find and surrounded by parking lots - the closest one is $10 outdoor on weekends but a further walk will get you underground for $7, or you can test your luck with street parking. Once you walk in you feel like you're at a slightly upscale restaurant, as they have wine glasses and napkins set out, white chairs, and murals on every wall. Upon seating you'll notice the place setting is perfectly placed at every table, with the chopsticks lined to the edge of the table centered on the paper napkin, and the dishes placed squarely around it - satisfying to those who demand perfect little details in life.
There was a wide selection of food - all the works with the appetizers, sashimi, sushi, maki, hot food...the maki rolls lack diversity but there are a decent number of choices and some unique and creative options. We noted that the sashimi orders come in sets of two pieces, but the pieces are smaller than usual so one order equates to the typical one. We tried a variety of items and found the sashimi to be tasty but everything else hovered around acceptable.
We got the spicy salmon roll and the strawberry and banana roll, both did not meet expectations. The seaweed and rice paper were chewy, and the filling was average. The spicy salmon was not spicy, and chocolate sauce replaced the promised strawberry sauce. The chewy seaweed problem continued to all the other roll items - particularly unfortunate with the hand roll.
The snack items have many options - from takoyaki and fried tofu to barbecue squid and beef rolls. Overall they were average - some items were tasty, others were not so good - and there wasn't much we wanted seconds of.
Dessert offered chocolate, green tea, and mango ice cream - safe choices you can't go wrong with. There was also rice balls which are really tong yuan with no filling, served covered in diluted chocolate sauce and sesame seeds, and there's Japanese small bread which is a deep fried maan tou with the condensed milk drizzled on top already.
Overall, I would return for the sashimi, the convenience of it being priced for weekday on Sunday nights, and the ambiance of the restaurant, but not so much for the variety or taste of their food in general.
