| - I came here last night for the first time and had all-you-can-eat. First, it was pretty packed -- the wait was about 20-30 minutes around 9:00 PM for a group of 6 -- but the wait was worth it.
I ordered the rainbow, volcano, and salmon loves lemon rolls and the screaming orgasm appetizer. The screaming orgasm came out first, it was presented differently than I've seen at most sushi bars, but the "ecstasy" sauce was the best part of it. There is a one-order limit on these, so I'd suggest if you're going with a big group and you want more than one to have everyone in the group order one, whether they want it or not to get the most out of it.
The rainbow and salmon loves lemon rolls came out together. No complaints there. The rainbow is a pretty generic roll, so it's hard to mess up, but the fish all tasted great and fresh. The salmon loves lemon roll reminds me of a roll at Sushi Factory East (can't remember what it's called, maybe the LA Boxing roll?). Anyway, I liked the thin slice of lemon on top, it added an interesting flavor to the salmon and california roll underneath.
The volcano roll came out last and it was pretty much perfect -- not too much yum yum sauce, but enough to get the flavor. I also love the baked scallops on top.
I also tried pieces of the Mexican and Rum Jungle rolls. The Mexican roll was tasty and just the right amount of spicy; the Rum Jungle roll, on the other hand, was good, except for the Japanese "salsa" on top. I'd probably get it without the salsa next time.
For dessert, I had the mango mochi, which was nothing special, but good. There is a one-order limit on the mochi and only two flavors (mango and strawberry), but the green tea and red bean ice cream is unlimited.
The AYCE dinner was $26.95 and there was an automatic gratuity of 18% for our group of 6. They also have a punch card, where if you eat there 10 times you get 1 free.
The service was better than most sushi places I've been to, so that was a plus. They were pretty attentive and usually came by pretty frequently so that we could order more rolls on a steady basis. Overall, I liked this place, but I most likely will not return unless I'm in the area.
