Meh. I've been here a lot and this time I dunno, the food just didn't have the flavor. Something about this place has really gone downhill in the last few years, I suspect around the time they caved and started offering All You Can Eat.
I got the AYCE while my boyfriend ordered some soba noodle dish off the regular menu. I got my usual nigiri (salmon, yellowtail, garlic tuna) which were just OK. I ordered a candy cane roll which was not that great and I ended up not eating half of it. The baked green mussels were pretty good - I like that they only bring you a small serving of the appetizers so you aren't gorging yourself.
The fried shrimp tempura was really gross. I don't know if it is just me or what, but the panko breading just doesn't have any taste and reminds me of sawdust. Cucumber salad was light and refreshing.
The service was fast and friendly, and the sushi chef cracks me up. I will give it another try again, just wasn't as impressed with the food quality as I have in the past.
