| - I'll start with the cons: the front doesnt look appealing, seemed a bit "cheap" but that's because I'm from a competitive and aggressive sushi area. During service, a few missed orders but it's AYCE so it's forgiven. I do wish there was a hostess so I wasn't walking in, awkwardly asking questions and for a seat. With that being said, I wouldn't say it should stray you away from trying this place.
Here's the pros: great food, great options for an AYCE. For a casual eater, there's probably a lot of items you've never tried that they offer and that is a good thing. I, myself, am quite experienced and enjoy a variety of things and this place was able to offer that for a $25 ish AYCE (dinner). It is Korean owned so I enjoy the quality/variety of items offered.
The chef (he calls himself the rookie), Siko (pronounced See-ko), was nothing short of awesome. I ordered Saba, Hamachi, and Ika to start. The female server came and suggested the Tuna Poke and I also ordered an agedashi tofu along with it. I was content. The rice was tasty but a bit wet (nigiri fell apart a few times). But that's okay because most place don't offer flavorful sushi rice. I was most impress by the fish, it had a soft and fresh texture which I enjoyed immensely. The tuna poke was flavorful and the agedashi tofu was alright. I followed up by ordering uni, amaebi, sake, and hirame nigiri with an order of pork belly and fresh oyster. The sushi chef did forget my hirame but it did not faze me as I was content with the offerings served. The pork belly was flavorful and served on a sizzling plate (tasted like Korean marinaded pork belly). The fresh oyster was delightful and composed with massago, chopped scallions, spicy sauce (sriricha?), sweet sesame oil soy with a touch of yuzu (I assume). The uni was creamy. I did not care for the sweet shrimp and they don't fry the head unfortunately (bummer!).
I then ended it with a spicy tuna handroll, hamachi roll, and seaweed salad. The owner then served up another order of oyster. I ate everything with a few bites of rice leftover. Keep in mind, this is how they get you in AYCE, they fill you up with rice so stray away from rolls if you want your money's worth.
At the end I was full. I had a nice conversation with the sushi chef. The owner talked to me for a little and the server was sweet offering me ice cream.
I tipped the house 22% and another $5 to the sushi bar because I was satisfied.
All in all, don't judge it by the front. It's a decent hole in the wall. I will visit again very soon.
A few things to help: all Front-of-house should introduce themselves and be more attentive. Apologize for missing orders even though it's usually not a big deal. But very minimal things to the whole experience, I enjoyed it very much. Thank you!
You should definitely try it!
