| - When I go for AYCE, my standard meal is starting with miso soup, shrimp tempura, maybe half a roll, and lots and lots of nigiri.
The miso soup here was a liiil' salty. They forgot the shrimp tempura I ordered, but it's one of those things that by the time we were towards the end of the meal, I was hoping they wouldn't remember because I was so full.
I was not a fan of the What da Heck roll at all. It was very, very meh. The Orange Blossom was a little better, but both rolls had too much sauce. I did like they do half orders here though.
The nigiri had good fish to rice ratio, and comes in small portions which I always appreciate it AYCE. The tuna, salmon egg, sweet shrimp, uni, and tamago were all standard. The garlic tuna and garlic yellowtail were flavorful. They were out of the carpaccio, so they gave us toro (fatty tuna) without extra charge instead. I'm not a fan, but my boyfriend loved it, and it was super nice of them to do that for us. The oysters we got were also super vinegary which I enjoyed.
As for cooked items, my boyfriend ordered the dynamite, monkey ball, and salmon Kama since they were out of hamachi. I thought all of them were okay, but he liked them so I guess it's just up to preference.
Overall, I would recommend this place. I thought the rolls were too heavy and drowned with sauce, the cooked items were meh, but the nigiri was good and that's the most important thing when I go for sushi. I'd give the food a 3.5 separately, but the customer service bumps it to a 4 because they were so friendly and accommodating.
