| - The continuous quest for decent sushi in the desert brought me here. Located on the SE corner of Simmons and Centennial, the location is convenient for me, so I just had to try it. Sushi Tachi has the standard tonkatsu, teriyaki, tempura, sushi, and udon. They also have an AYCE menu, for $25.95 for 1 hour. I am very skeptical of AYCE sushi, but surprisingly this place is a solid 3.5 stars! The sumeshi was on the mushy side, maybe they put a little too much water in the rice cooker today. But, the portions were surprisingly generous, especially for AYCE! (I was expecting monsterous-sized nigiri, topped with a wafer-thin slice of fish.) Our waitress was Thai and a little slow, but one of the Japanese waitresses took our second round order, when I jokingly said I wanted uni and amaebi (the limited sushi menu did not list these items), she asked the Japanese sushi chef if they had uni and amaebi, and he responded with a, "Hai! Motteru!" Wow. I asked if they had otoro, and the sushi chef said, "mottenai". Too bad, I guess you can't win them all! She then asked if we wanted the amaebi heads fried...I jokingly looked at her like, "duh!" and she laughed and wrote my order down LOL. Yay! Now I knew I was going to get my money's worth! This place is actually not bad for the price, much better than Sushi Wow on Simmons and Ann. They do, however limit the uni, amaebi, sake shooter, and fried oyster to one order per customer. (I guess that's fair, because people like me will just place an order for 20 Uni sushis LOL) They also have a stamper card, so when you buy 10 AYCE meals, the 11th one is free! I will definitely be coming back when I feel like pigging out!
Update 5/15:
I have been going to Sushi Tachi pretty regularly, and this place still is a solid 3.5 stars in my book! They didn't have Uni the last time I was there, but they had toro and kobe beef! Yum! Don't mind the cheezy 80's rock music they play there LOL!
