| - I celebrated a birthday here yesterday for my little brother - it was a Friday night, and our reservation was for 7:30PM. We were seated immediately, and the environment was busy and buzzing. We ordered off an iPad, and the food came promptly.
The portion sizes were very small (example: 1 order of mayo tempura shrimp was literally 1 shrimp)- but this was not a problem, as you could order as many as you'd like (so we would just click 5 or 6 portions of each thing we wanted a lot of!) Bottomless soda was also free, so I enjoyed a couple of ginger ales.
The food was hit or miss. Some of it was absolutely delicious! Very fresh California rolls, salmon rolls, cucumber rolls - the very simple rolls were quite good and enjoyable. The Japanese hashbrown was a favourite of my 12 year old brother - it is very yummy in a guilty pleasure kind of way. The tempura was really good, the mayo shrimp was my favourite by far. However, some of the food was not good at all. The sashimi didn't seem very fresh and some of the rolls were a definite miss, hard and old tasting rice and a little "fishy" tasting. Definitely go SIMPLE here, and you will be satisfied.
The dessert at the end was average. The green tea and sesame ice cream is my favourite choice.The chocolate mousse, tiramisu and creme brûlée is below average and a super small portion size.
The service was good. Prompt and friendly. No problem splitting the bill. The server clearly explained that the tip was already included and made sure that we understood that we weren't obligated to add any extra tip.
Overall, this is a very average AYCE place. Nothing to write home about but we certainly had a good time and we left feeling full.
