| - I saw a Groupon offer for $40 worth of food for $20 at Groupon and used it to try Xtreme Sushi for the first time. I went with my husband, a friend and together we had 3 toddlers with us. I was a little apprehensive at first, as previous Yelpers had reviewed the service as slow and I was worried about bringing the kids there on a busy Saturday night.
We went at 5:00 PM in order to feed the kids early and get a head start before the crowds. We were seated right away and instantly fed complimentary bowls of miso soup and our drinks were brought right over. We ordered for the kids first in order to get their food expedited.
The three adults went with the AYCE option and it was worth it! If you eat 2 or more rolls, order edamame and an appetizer, the deal is totally worth it!
The edamame came out first and was fresh and delicious. The kids meals came out next and each was delicious (we tried the Japanese chicken nuggets (really good, nothing like what you'd think of from fast food places), combination fried rice and a chicken bowl with rice. The kids (aged 4, 4 and 2) devoured their food.
Our rolls took longer than I'd hoped. If it had just been adults, the conversation would have kept us busy but the kids were getting antsy. The rolls were fresh and delicious as were the baked green mussels. We tried several different rolls and all were delicious. The Tiger Roll was exceptionally incredible, as was roll with spicy scallop combined with spicy crab.
At one point a server brought us 2 rolls that we didn't order. He said, "these are complimentary". Apparently another couple had ordered them and got sick of waiting (again, the wait time is a downer) and left. We were given their rolls.
I have to give the staff kudos. They were very patient with us and catered to the kids. My two-year old had a meltdown (we were waiting for our first round of rolls and she started to get tired. She ended up having a tantrum on the floor of the restaurant). The server raced over with full coloring books and crayons for all the kids and was very sympathetic when we said we needed to leave. We thought we might get charged as we had only finished half our meal. She just packed it all in to-go boxes and we were on our way.
As we left, the lobby, lounge and sushi bar were full and we ran into some friends who were told that the wait was now one hour. (This was at 7:00 PM).
So all in all, I recommend the place, but don't bring kids as the food is slow to come out. If you are really hungry, arrive early if you want to be seated right away. I'll definitely try it again as a date night or girls night out stop.
