| - This sushi restaurant has seen a format change to an all-you-can-eat (AYCE) sushi place after its renovations. I hadn't tried it before the renovation, but it looks significantly more upscale after the renovation based on the old pictures still on Yelp. There's even a bar. Unfortunately, the table for our booth was wobbly.
The service wasn't great as is usual for Chinese-run restaurants. It was hard to flag down a waiter, but there was otherwise no problems. For each dish brought our table, the waiter told us what each roll was called.
Soft drinks are included in the all-you-can-eat price, including C+, Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite and 7-UP. $12.99 weekday lunch or $24.99 for weekday dinner less the 10% post-renovation discount with drinks included is good value for the meal.
The spicy salmon sushi was not spicy at all, but the spicy mayo and salmon on top of the sushi tasted very good. The sushi were all well made and were not the rushed sushi you'd normally find at AYCE. In terms of fish to rice ratio, I'd say Shichimi currently leans toward more toward rice, and about average compared to other AYCE places. The rolls come in sizes of 8 pieces, but they are small. The Shichimi roll was good, as was the philadelphia and salmon & avocado roll (the salmon & avocado in particular had a good amount of salmon). The pork cultet was very thin and was made up fo mostly batter. The ice cream was served too cold and hard. The crab meat handroll had a very disappointingly small amount of (imitation) crab meat compared to the rice and size of the handroll.
The lunch menu included all the usual sushi, including also octopus sushi. I didn't see anything else that was particularly interesting.
There is plenty of residential side-street parking nearby. They take credit card.
