| - Normally I give a review after giving places a second chance, but there are other AYCE places in this area which I will have to try as well, but I'm pretty sure they'll be better than this place.
I came here a bit more than an hour before they were going to close, but the server was telling me I have to order everything now and I won't be able to order more later... bummer. Problem is, I ordered my food and it took a bit more than half an hour to get to me. Meanwhile, my partner got their appetizer and sashimi 10-15 mins before me.
It was ineffective to see that they only had one person manning the fish counter for all these orders, they would need at least 2 people no matter the capacity of the place. I would have been OK with food that took a long time to come, but honestly, it was not fresh and did NOT look at all like the pictures on the menu, and for that price (~25 AYCE), it was overall not good.
I got a red dragon and I was expecting thick rolls with a nice bed of roe on top, but instead I got meek rolls, thinly riced, kind of clumsily put together, and barely some roe sparingly sprinkled on top, they cheaped out. It tasted fine but I know I could have gotten much better. I ordered some BBQ pork as well, it was disgusting. It tasted overcooked and the sauce/texture felt tarry and unhealthy (almost burnt). I also had a sushi pizza and it wasn't good either, the panko crust was mushy, the toppings were uninteresting and it just lacked soul.
I went to this place because it was open later than the other sushi joints around, but honestly it's not more convenient or anything. I will try the other places, but I don't think I'll be coming back here on purpose unless I'm desperate enough and willing to give them another chance. Maybe it was the time of day, but I don't that's an excuse for serving unfresh/mushy/soulless food.
