On the outside this place looks really ghetto, but on the inside a whole different story. When you get inside to your right they have tepanyakki where the chefs cook the food right in front of you. On the left is where you can sit and enjoy the all you can eat sushi. The seating area is very nice and well decorated the ceiling is filled with lanterns and the lighting was just right to set the mood for eating.
Waitresses were very nice in the beginning but the moment it started to get very busy it seemed very impossible to get a waitress. Mind you I didn't mind that at all b/c I have alot of patience other people on the other hand were very frustrated, but honestly what do you expect when every seat in the restaurant is taken.
On to the food! There is the usual things you find in an all-you-can-eat sushi but there was a few things that made this place a lil different than the others. At the top of the menu it stated what the chef's recommended which was really nice b/c sometimes I don't know what the restaurant's specialty might be so that saved a lot of time trying to figure out what was good. If you ask any of the waitresses they will tell you the top ten items that are mostly ordered by the customers which was really helpful as well.
Everything on the menu was very good however there is always one exception, unfortunately it had to do with their maki rolls, hand rolls, and sushi which was basically half their menu. I was definetly not a huge fan b/c of the rice. The rice had no flavour to it, it's like they forgot to make it sushi rice and left it as plain regular rice. That alone took my whole experience away and had to rely on ordering tepanyakki and sashmi for most of the night.
I do plan on going back b/c I would like to try the tepanyakki where the chefs cook in front of you and most of the meat items on the grill b/c I gave up meat for lent! :-S
Items to definetly order:
- salmon sashmi
- mussels with wasabi sauce
- spicy seafood ramin noodle soup
- grilled shrimp
- sweet grilled fish
