| - I'll start off by saying I'm not a sushi person. I'm not particularly fond of raw, cold fish as any kind of meal. But that in itself would never turn me off going to an AYCE sushi place because there are always options that I like (tempura, enoki beef rolls, chicken karage, etc.)
My review is based on the non-sushi items, combined with service.
Almost everything I ate was subpar. Chicken teriyaki, chicken karage, enoki beef, unagi - not something I would ever order again here. I know it can be done better. This place does it poorly.
the shrimp tempura was lightly fried and fairly good. I think the only thing I liked more than usual was the sweet potato tempura. I don't like sweet potatoes, but these tasted more like regular potatoes. That's probably a con for most people though.
I was charged $20 for the AYCE even though I had no sashimi. My friends ordered it though, so I guess they'd charge me for it anyway. Just because it's typical practice to do so doesn't mean I have to like it.
Service was below average. The waitresses brought food to the wrong side of the table. We were a fairly large group, so I had no idea when my food came because it went to the other side and my friends just thought someone on that side ordered it. We shared everything anyway so they didn't bother asking who ordered what. I had to order some dishes again.
Even though the service wasn't great, our server was still relatively pleasant. One of the other waitresses at another table wasn't so pleasant though, yelling things in mandarin to other waitresses.
I'd rate this place a 1.5, but since I can't actually leave 1.5 stars, I'm rounding down. It's not the worst establishment I've ever been to, but it definitely doesn't deserve 2 stars or higher.
