I live literally 2 mins away from this place and I can say that's the only reason I still go from time to time, even though I despise it.
Their AYCE is $21 on the weekend and it sucks. First of all, in my opinion 21 is a little much for AYCE anyway, but what irritates me more is that the sushi is bland and borderline falling apart. That's why it comes out so fast. And it's the exact same if you order regular take-out on any average weekday, so it's not like they save the garbage for AYCE.
The service sucks. There aren't enough waitresses and maybe that's the reason why they're so disorganized and unattentive. I'm almost a doormat when it comes to wait staff for fear of being that person who's rude to the waiter, but don't come to my table once every half hour and say "sorry we're really busy". Not my problem. You know this place is busy every Friday so get your shit together and hire more people or learn to deal with the volume properly. My dad complained so the owner came over and was very kind and apologetic, so there's a star.
The seats are comfortable. There's another star.
