| - Went here with a large group of friends last thursday night. Even though we got there around 8, the place was packed and it was about a 20 to 30 minute wait. My friend who organized the get-together didn't like how she couldn't make a reservation because we didn't have enough people for it, but since I wasn't the one planning it I won't take it into account in this review ;).
The building is small but it feel very warm. We had table near the corner set away from the main walkway, so we didn't have people running into us or elbowing us as they walked. The table wasn't bolted to the floor or heavy, so it was very easy to push around, and we frequently had to recenter the table due to it moving under the weight of elbows and arms. There was a "fake" table leg at the head of the table which popped in and out, much to the amusement of one of my friends.
The waitress was very kind and made it a priority to make sure she got our orders down perfectly. All of us except for one had the All You Can Eat deal for 22 bucks. She repeated all the orders just to make sure, and even explained which ones come out faster and which ones took longer to prepare. Not necessary, but it it shows a great commitment to customer service.
Now, for "All-You-Can-Eat" specials, you often go in with low expectations in terms of quality, since most places emphasize on quantity rather than quality. The food here, however, was way above average for an All You Can Eat place. The TNT and Vegas speciality rolls were my favorites, but the best cut I had was the smoked salmon sushi. I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend that cut, it was the best cut of salmon I have ever eaten in an All You Can Eat sushi restaurant.
It did take us awhile to get our check when we were done, but besides that the service was good, and our waitress was extremely attentive to our order and making sure we got everything that we ordered and that it was prepared right.
On a funny note, they had NASCAR on the tv next to our table. Quite ironic for them to have a sport like that in an Asian restaurant, lol.
PROS:
Very good sushi for All You Can Eat
Attentive waitress
Good and fair price (i.e. you get what you pay for, and more)
Clean bathrooms
CONS:
Small building, can be cramped and congested on the walkways
Waits can be long, especially at night, even on weekdays
WILL I RETURN?: Absolutely! When I'm in the mood for sushi, I'll probably come back here!
