I used to frequent Sumo Sushi 2 on the west side before management changed and quality took a nosedive. Needless to say I was on the hunt for a new sushi place! A friend of mine (who's a frequent yelper) suggested we try this place. Right off the bat I noticed how clean the restaurant was and the decor was cute. I hadn't seen my friend in a long time so we were catching up for about a good 20 minutes before we actually got to order. The server came over a couple times and we weren't ready (*cringe* we were those people!) but our server was okay with us taking our time. Thumbs up for that.
Now the food! We got the seafood salad, the Chanel roll, the popcorn lobster roll, Lisa Lisa, and the Hawaiian roll. We finished off with mango mochi, coffee mochi, and green tea ice cream. Everything was absolutely delicious and the fish was really fresh. I love the fact that even though we got AYCE there was still an abundance of protein. In my experience most AYCE places pile on the rice and skimp on the fish.
In the middle of dinner, the music went up and the lights went off! I love the fact that everyone was excited about this customers birthday and I noticed that the group celebrating the birthday had brought a cake from Nothing Bundt Cakes. So if I or someone I know decides to have a birthday dinner here it's nice to know we can bring our own cake in. Most places won't allow you to do that.
Overall I was satisfied and I will definitely return!
