| - I've now been to VIP three times, though this review will focus on my latest trip. My husband and I walked in at about 7:10 pm on a Sunday night and were seated right away (it was a 45 minute wait at Sushi Muramoto, and we were hungry). Sunday special is all-you-can-eat sushi for $26/person, and after looking at their menu we decided to partake.
Included in the $26 is any of the appetizers listed on the all-you-can-eat menu, along with several choices of soups. Lots of sashimi and nigiri options, with sushi and special rolls as well. It was quite a large menu to choose from.
Happy Hour was from 4:30-9:30, so we also had some of their drink specials.
We were pleasantly surprised that our orders came out quickly. The restaurant was busy, though not overly so. Our server was attentive and refilled our water glasses without prompting. We tried several special rolls (Dragon, Da Bomb, and Spider to name a few) as well as a California and Spicy Tuna. All the rolls I tried were delicious.
The reason I deducted one star is for their use of "crab stick", also known as fake crab. I do not particularly like fake crab, so was disappointed to see it on the menu. However, I will say that I am so glad the menu makes a distinction that it's crab stick and not just a generic "crab" - in this case I could avoid it (My husband doesn't mind it and did enjoy the rolls with crab stick). There were rolls that denoted soft shell crab, so they do not exclusively use crab stick, which makes me happy.
All in all, VIP is a solid 4 star experience.
