| - I've been using Yelp for 8 months going to Sushi Banzai tonight just encouraged me to finally write my first review.
My two small children and I wanted sushi. Most AYCE do not offer a children's menu besides bento boxes. So paying for children @ an AYCE would not be worth it. So, I thought this place would be excellent since you can buy sushi al a carte which was also 50% off! That deserves a star, perfect for a small appetite whether a child or an adult.
We walked in, were greeted right away and sat at a table. We waited about 10-15 mins before our server acknowledge us again to take our drink order. Finally after about 25 mins of being there I get to finally give my sushi order. She looked at us weird because I ordered my children sushi, whom like I've mentioned were under 5. The wait time was ridiculous being that their were only 2 other tables besides us. I never got my beverage refilled my entire meal. The sushi was OK, I've had better. The spider roll was average the crab wasn't fresh, pre-cooked before ordering. Yuck! So there was no crunch. The tempura roll tasted exactly the same. My children ordered Ebi Nigiri which took 15 mins to come out, I have no idea how hard it is to slap shrimp on rice?! Anyways, when you tasted just the rice there wasn't any flavor as other places I've gone too.
Toward the end of my meal they ran out of rice and was told I'd have to wait 25 mins before I can order my next roll. I gave up! Ordered some yummy mochi ice cream, which of course were store bought, no big deal.
So overall, I'd come back again if it were just me and the kids and we want cheap sushi. I don't think I'd be bringing my husband for AYCE here.
