I decided to try the lunch AYCE at this sushi place due to the decent reviews other Yelpers had given. Being seated was okay: they were prompt with their service and were friendly. They had not mentioned the buffet style section in the back though at first, and seeing as there was no one there, we weren't sure if they offered it for lunch. After the waitress had informed us about it, we went and even on first glance, the section was very lackluster. Everything seemed like they had been sitting there for a long time. There wasn't too much selection either which was fine considering it was lunch time, but there were really only a few pieces of each item per container. There were also flies buzzing around the salads. The desserts section was very dark, and the items there also didn't seem very fresh.
When we finally got our sushi orders, though at first glance they seemed alright, upon closer inspection, the pieces of fish did not seem fresh at all. They weren't discoloured, and the taste was alright, but they definitely weren't as fresh as they could have been. They also packed on a lot of rice. I only managed to get in one order before becoming full. The rice in the sushi was nice (albeit there was a lot and the seasoning was a bit much), the rice on the rolls was super mushy. It sort of seemed like they were trying to hide the quality of the fish with the seasoning in the rice as well.
Though the variety was plentiful (lots of hot dishes, appetizers, types of sushi/rolls, etc.), the quality was very mediocre. Despite being just $13.99 a head (which is rather cheap for lunch AYCE), it was definitely not worth it. The service was okay, but the food inexcusable. Perhaps they up their quality standards during dinner and for take-out, but for lunch, I would skip this restaurant altogether.
