| - Came here after reading Chris M's review of the AYCE option. The place seemed somewhat busy, but the sushi bar was wide open.
The AYCE menu is pretty extensive. The usual nigiri options are available. In addition, there is a list of a rolls, appetizers (korean and japanese), robata, noodles, soups, and rice dishes. The size of fish on the nigiri is on the smaller side, but the amount of rice is proportionally less too so that's nice. There are limits to certain types of items: uni, amaebi, all robata, oysters, etc. Everything tasted fine, I especially like the kim chi fried rice I am ashamed to say.
A lot fo the rolls have cream cheese, which was a bit of a turn off. Certain rolls can also be ordered in half orders so you can try a little more variety.
The biggest headache eating at this restaurant is the difficulty in placing your orders. The waitresses were incredibly busy, thank goodness one of them is a friend of mine, or else I might have starved. The sushi chefs are the worst however. At most sushi restaurants they will ask you if you want anything or if you are ready for more. Here, when they have no rolls or sushi to make, they just stand around talking to each other. You have to flag them down and place an order. As for value, $20 for lunch and about $25 for dinner is a pretty good deal.
If the sushi chefs could be a little more proactive, this place would definitely get four stars.
