We ate at this place yesterday 9/16/2012 and had a terrific time. We were visiting from Chicago and didn't know anything about the place beforehand. All I can say is that we were pleasantly surprised. We were greeted by a very attentive waitress, seated and served rather quickly. Our refil orders were taken at a quick pace and we never had to wait or look for the waitress, she seemed to be circling the room constantly refilling our cups with tea and water. Excellent service better than I can remember in a really long time.
Now as far as food and specifically SASHIMI goes, because that is why I picked this place was very very FRESH. The menu for the most part has all the classics miso soup seaweed salad, noodles rice dishes tempura selection a wide variety of specialty maki rolls and a large selection of vegetarian maki.
The food tasted very very fresh and fresh fish seemed to have been placed on the table directly from the sea. Pieces of fish were reasonable with small portions of rice on sushi which is hard to find in chicago. Usually at AYCE buffets they serve you a big chunk of rice with a very thin see through piece of fish. They do that to fill you up on rice which is cheap and not fresh fish which is rather expensive. Here at kuni sushi ya the opposite is true. Nice large chunks of fish with small bits of rice LOVED IT.
The portions are on the small size but like I said they refill often and quickly. Also watch out if you leave food on the plate, you will be charged for any leftovers.
