| - So I want to update this review. This is my 3rd time here. 1st time was well over a year ago for AYCE, then a few weeks ago for a lunch take out special (which was horrible) But I figured maybe I mis judged them and I should try the AYCE again.
So.... I walked in and there were about 8 other people there (not too busy). Hell I was surprised to even see that many actually. They have 2 chef's behind the counter and I'm waiting patiently and I finally place my order. They typically stuff their rolls FULL of too much rice, so my first order was small just in case. To my surprise it was a normal amount. I was beginning to think that they may have changed their ways. The sushi chefs were a bit slow and I caught on pretty quickly that this was going to be a problem, because a saw a party of 4 walk in, then a few other small parties and a few people also sat down at the sushi bar. For most places, this is great and I'm always glad to see that people are coming in, but the sushi chefs here were already so slow, now what are they going to do. Well it took forever to get my next few orders and I started to see why. They were very detailed with some of the orders and I don't mind that, but ONLY if you can do that and do it quickly. Other orders were SOOOO skimpy. I enjoyed their sex on the beach roll but it's topped with slices of salmon. The salmon slice didn't even cover the top of each piece of sushi, it was also incredibly thin, and part of the roll wasn't even cut into pieces.
All in all their quality was fairly good and I enjoyed my handrolls very much but I somehow knew this was gonna happen as it often happens at mediocre places like this.. I order my uni and sweet shrimp "oh I'm sorry we're out" I WAS PISSED!!!!
and it was on a Wednesday TOO. (I happen to know that Tuesday and Wednesday are the best days for sushi because of the fish markets in asia, so there was NO reason to be out of it) once again they most likely didn't want to serve it as part of the all you can eat.
What's sad is this place has GREAT potential, and you can easily see that from the menu, the variety of rolls and even the sushi chefs. At one point I wanted to stand up and shout out how easily they are making this a bad place and it doesn't have to be.
All they have to do is work faster MAYBE put a 3rd sushi chef on, and don't be so skimpy with their fish. I understand cost and not over doing it either but don't be skimpy. There are PLENTY of other great AYCE sushi places that don't skimp at all.
This place is very very borderline about coming back for a return visit. I typically eat in 45 min I was there approx 1 hr 20 min. That is just TOO long for just goin by myself.
Work on your speed Nagoya. Guests were comin in the door to give you a chance and you're blowing it and yet you have great potential.
