| - I've ordered take-out sushi from this place a few times and was always impressed (especially with their sushi salmon pizza which is AMAZING). However, recently, my family and I went for my birthday dinner. It was my first time inside the dining area and it was really nice! We got to choose where to sit and ended up picking a private area with a huge table and benches with pillows :)
They had an all-you-can eat special (for $27.99 pp) going on which we were not aware of, and after some debating (if one person chose AYCE, everyone else had to), we decided to go for it. The AYCE menu was huge and it contained almost everything that was on the regular menu but in smaller portions (besides the sushi rolls which came in 6-8 pieces). Appetizers, soups, salads, sushi, sashimi, maki rolls, hand rolls, thai dishes, curry dishes, grilled dishes and rice & noodle dishes were all on the menu and there was quite a large selection. I guess because this restaurant is not normally AYCE, the quality of the food was amazing and although the waitor told us the portions are alot smaller (for the hot dishes), they were not as small as we thought and had an extremely hard time finishing everything.
The food came out really fast and the service was good. Our waitor did not show much expression throughout our meal but at the very end when we got our bill, he brought me out a complimentary birthday plate with mini fried-bananas and ice cream with a candle...and noone in my family had told him it was my birthday! We asked him how he knew and he told us that he overheard me telling my sister that I just got a birthday text from someone and he also saw us clinking glasses and picked up that it was my birthday! I thought that was very sweet and thoughtful :)
The 5 of us ordered way too many things to remember but here are some of the items: scallop rockafeller (in an actual sea-shell!), sushi pizza (mini ones!), sushi & sashimi (assorted fish-fresh and delicious as always), thai lemongrass soup, hawaii roll (so-so), golden dragon (delicious), spicy salmon rol (was too full to even try one piece but my dad really enjoyed it), thick curry tiger shrimp (SO good), beef with pad thai (average), grilled salmon (my parents each ordered one and I was shocked at how big the salmon portion was!! And they said it was delicious), & calamari (tried a couple pieces and it was tasty).
All in all, great service, amazing food, and lovely ambience. My only regret was ordering way too much food (I don't think I have ever eaten that much in my life) and feeling extremely uncomfortable afterward. Everyone was starving when we got there and there was so much selection that we wanted to try as many things as we could, which is a great danger with AYCE. Although their AYCE special is quite pricey ($28) compared to other AYCEs, it is worth it, as the quality and selection of the food is much better than it is anywhere else. Same goes for the service and the whole dining experience.
Try to get to JJs as soon as you can before they stop their AYCE special! :)
