| - if $20 per person for all-you-can-eat sushi sounds too good to be true, then it's probably too good to be true. the 1st red flag should have been AUCE sushi. think about it, if you were the owner of the restaurant, would you put out 5 star sushi so that people can scarf it all down for $20?
i guess it's just as much my fault for believing a korean barbecue restaurant would have semi-spectacular sushi.
whatever you do, don't let the hostess convince you to sit in the little "black hole" room with the "sushi" sign on the doorway even if you're only going to order the AYCE sushi (which is a mistake in itself).
we were left in there for about 15mins to peruse(?) the menu. we finally checked off a few rolls and were waiting for the waiter to come back and take our order sheet, all the while we could see the sushi chef standing there twiddling his thumbs secretly laughing that he was getting paid to do nothing.
i finally figured i could just take the slip of paper up to him myself, so i did. he seemed a little taken aback, but took the paper reluctantly and pretended to start our order. i say that because it seemed to take another 10 or so minutes for them to bring us the 1st role. by then we were so famished, that we scarfed it down like a pack of rabid wolves. it tasted ok, but i couldn't tell if it was because i was so grateful to have something to eat or if it really tasted great.
i've heard it said that they purposefully bring you a roll every 10-15 minutes so that you won't order more than you can eat (in which the rules state that any left over food will trump the AYCE price of $20 and they reserve the right to change the pricing structure to full price for each roll/nigiri that is not eaten)
fair enough, but anyone who's ever eaten at an AYCE joint, knows full well that if you eat too slow, you will invariably eat about 1/3 of what you would have eaten if you were allowed to eat at your own "natural" pace (haha). so by the time we got to the 3rd of 5 rolls, we ended up choking down the less than stellar 2 remaining rolls in fear of being charged the full price for the whole meal.
yeah, i must admit that it was not such a great idea to order "fillers" such as tempura, but the batter was like a batter that you would find on a beer battered onions rings at the local BBQ joint. it was thick, doughy and tasteless. i guess i'm used to thin, light and crispy tempura batter that i've had at other japanese restaurants.
if you plan on taking me there for the AYCE sushi and say that you'll pay for me, my wife and 1 y/o daughter, don't be offended if i decline. you'll thank me later b/c i'll have saved you a ton of money
