| - Give this place a chance. Honestly I've always been skeptical about AYCE sushi- how can a business sustain itself and provide good sushi when it's all you can eat? Costs must be cut somewhere right? So when I heard about dim sum AND sushi, I was even more skeptical. But then I read the reviews here and figured it was worth a shot - especially since my cravings for AYCE was pretty strong. Upon walking into the place, I already got good vibes- but of course, a nice place doesn't mean good food. It was only until the sushi was brought to our table that I was sold. The sushi was fresh and very similar to the pictures on the iPad. There was a wide enough selection of nigari, teppanyaki, hand rolls, special rolls, etc. that I think there is something for everyone. In terms of the dim sum, everything was to standard. Nothing amazing but nothing disappointing- except maybe the custard bun. I'm not convinced they make the dim sum in-house because it looked and tasted very frozen fresh, if you know what I mean.
The iPad made things very quick. From placing an order to eating it took no more than 5-10 min. Waiters were also fast to collect plates and even gave a tutorial on how to order from the iPad. Granted, I also visited with my boyfriend on a Monday during lunch so it wasn't busy at all.
A few logistics- sashimi is only available in the evening. However, they do allow you to have sashimi in your AYCE for lunch- you just have to pay the dinner price. For $18.99, I definitely would come back, but I can't justify paying $29.99 for dinner (even with sashimi).
Would I come again? Probably. But only under specific circumstances- the $18.99 deal for lunch on Monday-Thursday. So I guess you could say I enjoyed the experience, but didn't love it.
