| - I do enjoy the decor in this place. Its nicely lit and although its relatively small, there is still space between tables and booths. Their AYCE menu is a subsection of the full menu. I was kind of disappointed because although they have soft shell crab and beef sashimi on the menu, its not available AYCE. They also don't have just shrimp tempura to order; you must order an assorted tempura to get them. It was odd because you can order bbq shrimp, which is the exact same as tempura only with some different kind of breading.
There was a bit of a rough start to the dinner because my wife was putting soya sauce in her dish, and a small bug was in the bottle. She got a new dish, poured some more and another bug came out. Not wanted to see a third bug, we changed the bottle.
I found their seaweed salad to be pretty good and their sushi to be on par with other restaurants. Although the sushi pizza was a little underwhelming (small with more crust than fish), what I did like about their sushi menu is that when you order their special rolls, you don't get the same size as any other maki roll. I like that because if you get the huge ones it doesn't leave much room for other special rolls.
Two dishes I enjoyed was the gyoza and their beef rolls. Although I wish their beef rolls were filled with enoki mushrooms and not green onion, it was still good.
2 girls serve the tables and I think they did a good job of keeping the food coming and clearing the dishes. There were some items we ordered that we never got, and had to order them again, but that can be overlooked since you could order it again.
I still think that Sushi Island is better, but the location is more convenient. One last warning; In our party of 5 on the bill there was a 10% surcharge. I'm assuming that this is the included gratuity, and if it was, interesting that it was only 10%. So watch out for that.
