| - Dang, there's not a lot of love for this place based on the other reviews and that's a little perplexing. Two friends and I showed up for the AYCE lunch here yesterday after having logged 30 miles on a training ride through the wind, from the District to Southern Highlands, and back up the hills of Anthem Parkway. Nothing gets you through a ride like that unless you have food to look forward to at the end, so all-you-can-eat anything sounds good. On the recommendation of a co-worker, we headed over to this spot and were 20 minutes early, since they don't open until noon.
At that time, the doors opened and we sat at the sushi bar, which has some very comfy, cushy stools to sit on. The waitress took our drink order promptly, explained the rules of the AYCE option, basically giving us 1.5 hours to eat anything on the menu, except for the page with steaks, and we were off. Before she left, not only did we order beverages, but a couple of appetizers and rolls to get the party started.
Two guys and a girl with big appetites indulged in: tempura vegetables, fried calimari, 2 orders of Fried Lumpia, a Russian Missile roll, a Katie "K" roll, 4 orders of the Pacquiao roll (the guys loved that roll the best), and at least 3 other rolls for the guys. I wasn't paying that much attention to their food because I was too busy eating mine. I had the tempura red bean mochi ice cream to top off the gorging--I'll stick with regular mochi the next time because the tempura coating just didn't do it for me. Our waitress kept checking on us, keeping my glass of iced green tea full, and making sure we had enough food throughout. The sushi chefs were friendly and attentive, too.
For $19.95, the amount of options to choose from on their menu, AND the way my friends and I can eat when we're really hungry, we will be back. There were more appetizers and rolls that we didn't get to this time around!
