| - My "Fortress of Solitude" place - brings back memories of some AYCE places I've been to in Norther California.
Basics: Seating at booths, tables, or up at the sushi bar counter. Place your drink order with the server. (Generous refills on non-alcoholic drinks!) Check off your selections (sushi, sashimi, appetizers, hot wok items, and dessert.) from the paper slips, and off you go.
Tip: Plan your orders as needed, as everything is made to order. Also, keep in mind that your eyes may be bigger than your stomach. There is a $5 charge if you're not able to finish what you ordered. I've only fallen to that once. (Once - during lunch. I'm pretty good otherwise.)
The miso soup is pretty basic, but then, it's about the sushi and sashimi here. The tempura battered shrimp and veggies are pretty much what you can expect for decent stuff. (The shrimp are delightfully crunchy outside, tender inside!), and I have not been let down by the fish, either by itself on beds of shredded daikon (white radish), or in rolls, or as nigiri (Fish on rice.)
Keep in mind that sometimes they do run out of garden salad. I do agree with Ian L's writeup, they could stand to improve the salad dressing, but if you want greens with your fish, go for it. ^_^ (They do also offer Edamame, in generous portions for one, or to share with others in your group.)
Personal favorites for the special rolls: Amazing Tuna Roll, Out of Control Roll, and Tuna Mango Roll.
I'm usually there every week or two, decent value, food, though I usually hold court there for about an hour, it's a good place to check out. (Parking can get a bit packed some weeknights.)
