I have never dined-in at Nichiban Sushi4U before, but I have ordered party trays to go a few times.
Walking in, it appeared to me that they have renovated since the last time I had visited. Instead of looking cluttered, the environment looked very clean and spacious. There were a few tables in the small establishment, but none of them were filled. It was 7:30PM on a Tuesday night and my friends and I (a table of 3) were the only ones there.
However, like I always remembered, the quality of their sushi is high and the ingredients that they use are all very fresh. It took about 15 minutes for our orders to come out, but I'd like to think that it was worth it because the presentation was beautiful! The waitress was very attentive to our needs as well.
Overall, I would give the place 4/5 stars because I feel that, although the sushi is quite tasty, the food and the service is not outstanding enough to justify over $1.15 a piece (after tax and tip).
