| - I don't normally go for AYCE anything because I know that I can't eat that much and the price is usually so inflated that a la carte makes more sense. But I hadn't eaten all day, I'd walked around ten miles, and this was the first restaurant I saw that wasn't fast food or Italian. So we went in.
AYCE dinner was somewhere around $20. Pretty decent price. You get to choose from a big menu, so you definitely have options to play with. I suppose if we knew what to expect from the food, we would've been ordering differently. Or not at all.
Don't get anything with crunch on or in it. It makes your roll ALL crunchy stuff and very little fish/veg. As I was trying to take the crunch out of the interiors of one of our TWO 8-piece crunch and something rolls (because, mind you, we didn't expect it to make our sushi so dry and flavorless), the server comes over and tells me I can't do that and I have to eat all of it. What the fuck? You serve me a substandard product and I have to eat it? In what world? I understand if I was actually "wasting" the food, but come on. It was pretty obvious that it was stale.
Now the sushi chef is glaring at our table. The sushi pizza we got on a whim is all rice and overcooked. I can't eat that rice. It's really bad. But again, "You have to finish it or we will charge you." The karaage was surprisingly good. The sashimi was hit or miss; I would say 50/50. I would avoid ordering any of the sushi rolls because they were mostly average (or covered in crunchy crap).
I find it pretty funny that their website lists one set of prices, but also tells you that "online prices may not be updated to reflect the actual pricing in restaurant." Then why the hell are you posting that on your website? That's baiting and false advertisement. Their website's photographs are nothing like what you actually get on your plate; there is very little in the way of aesthetic here. It's simply "put on the plate and bring to the table."
I know it's AYCE, but you can at least make it look good before I figure out that it's not.
