| - Went on Saturday with their current promo. 15.99 with no sashimi, 19.99 with, got with sashimi. Their selling point is the conveyor belt sushi (kuru kuru sushi), which wasnt used the way it was meant. Not that big of a deal since it was ayce for less than $20.
PROS
- They give exactly what was order. If you order 3 plates of ribs, you'd get 3 plates. Other places give only 1 plate regardless the amount of plates specified (TenIchi).
- Atmosphere and decor is nice.
- Ribs and steak are good.
- Has grilled sea bass
MEH
- Service isnt as bad as other negative reviews made them out to be. It's decent, but the waiter could've smiled more.
- Depending on the seating, the conveyor belt may or may not be utilized. We sat near the chefs so they gave us the food directly instead of putting it on the belt.
- Sashimi isnt really outstanding. On hindsight, I would've gotten the 15.99 instead.
- Comes with aycd ice tea.
CONS
(not negatives about the place, more like something to take note of)
- They skimp on the cuts of the sashimi, but since it's ayce, it's irrelevant cause we just ordered more...although that applies to most ayce places (Dont order 10 at first, order 1 or 2 to see it it's any good.)
- Dont order their crepes or jap pizza. Crepes wont be up to par since it's not a dessert place. The jap pizza is quite lacking toppings and most it was rice, the crust is nice and crunchy.
- The pictures of the food items are grossly exaggerated...more so than other places.
- The mango yogurt at Tenichi/Matsuda is waaay better than the ones at Nine Up.
OVERALL
It's not bad, not great considering the price ($25 post-tax). I'd go again.
If you want decent ayce jap, Nine Up is fine.
If you want a cheaper alternative to Tenichi/Matsuda, forget it. Pay the extra $5 and go to those places instead.
If you want to experience the trill and excitement of kuru kuru sushi, make a reservation beforehand to request a table away from the chefs.
If you want to experience the REAL kuru kuru sushi, go somewhere else.
