This place is a relatively short drive from work, which makes it work for my 1 hour time frame.
I've eaten here a few times on my own, and most recently, I ate with a co-worker during our break.
We were seated quickly, our drink order taken immediately and brought out shortly after.
I LOVE that they do half roll orders! I never feel like I get my money worth when doing AYCE because I try not to over-eat, so I am limited in the variety I get to choose.
We ordered off the AYVE menu and it was well worth it. With the half orders available, we were able to try 9 different styles and appetizers. It was the perfect amount of food between the 2 of us. We didn't feel like we needed to overeat to get to try more variety and we left feeling well fed but not overstuffed.
The service was amazing the whole time, with the owner(?) personally waiting on us and checking in on our experience. We had a great time and were not rushed to get back to the office. We had plenty of time to drive there, eat without rushing and drive back with a couple minutes to spare.
The prices are decent, though it's still a bit much for lunch. I can't complain as we still enjoyed AYCE with no issues.
I will definitely be back, and hopefully we'll have the same experience.
