| - I know that for all-you-can-eat sushi you have to eat all the rice or get charged for it, but do you have to eat all the fish? ;)
1.5 stars. I usually round up but here I'm rounding down for the dishonesty of their check-in scam.
We were craving sushi around 1am and this was the only AYCE we saw that was open past 2am.
Service was friendly and not inattentive though that may have had to do with the fact that we were the only ones there at 1am (despite their supposedly closing at 3am).
Last call is posted in the window as 2:15 but when we sat down we were informed last call was at 1:45am. Did not contest the sign on the door. Maybe they changed their hours, but if that is the case then they needed to also change their signs.
The sushi rice was too sweet.
Fish across the board was not very fresh.
Uni was not great. The brighter the color, the better. Pale or brown uni has either a plasticky or seaweedy (and not in a good way) taste to it. These were pretty brown, but surprisingly not as awful as at JJANGA or Goyemon.
Oysters were far from the worst I'd ever had, but the freshness of a raw seafood item is still worryingly called into question when you feel the need to put lemon slices directly on it.
Snow crab was so cloyingly sweet it was sweeter than the shaved ice we had at Chada St on Tuesday. It did not taste like crab at all, real *or* fake.
We asked for no sauce on anything but they only remembered to not put sauce on our shrimp tempura roll, which had surprise "krab" (fake crab) in it.
Which brings me to the rolls. Rolls on the special, baked, and fried rolls lists (basically everything that was not on the traditional roll list) were not very varied. Almost everything had fake crab in it even if it was not a listed ingredient. Everything that didn't have krab had spicy tuna and everything that didn't have spicy tuna had krab.
We ended up only getting a couple rolls because after they couldn't get "no sauce"" right we were not confident they would be able to do "no crab" reliably and did not want to fill our stomachs with that sweet crud.
Disappointed that they had run out of tempura green tea ice cream. I wasn't sure how they could still have green tea ice cream and still have tempura and not have tempura green tea ice cream (I had horrific thoughts of soggy, pre-tempura'd ice cream dancing rudely in my head, but the DH informed me that they have to super-freeze a ball of ice cream in order to tempura it without it melting, and that this takes 2 hours or more, so apparently that's how).
Don't like the scam they're running for the check-in discount. Have encountered the whole "write good review for a discount" scam before, but never seen it attached to a check-in, or seen a place where they want the review up front. Makes no sense.
