| - I went there for Friday night date night with the boyfriend. We watched it go up since the boyfriend lives less than a five minute drive from there & were finally checking it out since it opened.
When we first entered we noticed it was busy, which is a good thing no? But no one greeted us, the hostess who we didn't know she was the hostess at first, walked by us many times & we made eye contact each time yet she never once: 1. Smiled 2. Greeted us or 3. Acknowledged us.
Finally when she came back to the hostess table it wasn't even a "Hello" it was an abrupt "Are you Lou?"
We were asked if we wanted to sit at a table by the door & when we said no, they took my name & went to find another table; we were sat within 5 minutes.
Of course, another sushi place that uses iPads to place orders. Looking at the menu, I was surprise they offered so much: typical AYCE sushi items, "Korean corner," pad Thai, curry & grilled items.
We began to order & the food came out very quickly. We started off with soups & appetizers. The wonton soup we ordered was bland, the wontons were ok. The deep fried scallops were the same as any other place that serves them but the fried cheese wontons were pretty good. The teriyaki dishes we moved onto were mediocre. We noticed the chicken teriyaki that came out wasn't even warm; it was smothered in teriyaki sauce but it was cold.
We waited a very long time for our shrimp tempura which was the same as any other AYCE sushi place.
We noticed a few of our orders didn't come but seem to register on the iPad without the serve doing their thing when you submit an order. It seems, when you submit an order & the screen goes black telling you that your serve will be with you shortly, if they're not there within a certain time frame to do whatever they do with your order, the iPad times out & says "Your order has been submitted." But anyway, orders that were requested & sent in by the server didn't come: sashimi orders & other sushi rolls.
We saw the Las Vegas roll being sent to another table & inquired about it. We were intrigued & thought we'd give it a try after the server gave us a review of "It's our most popular roll." It was awful! I have never had such a maki roll in my life! It was deep fried garbage! & it's components made no sense: cooked salmon, cream cheese & mango sauce drizzle?! Gross.
We ordered our dessert which was the typical deep fried banana & ice cream. They offered tiramisu as a dessert option which I had to try. Terrible, horrible, bad mistake. It was a lady finger soaked in something trying to be liqueur & whipped cream on top in a shot glass - nothing like the picture by the way. It also tasted nothing like tiramisu. I know it shouldn't be a surprise for a sushi place but it wasn't even appetizing! It tasted like fridge, you know, when you leave something uncovered in a crowded fridge & it smells & then food begins to taste like how it smells? Yes, that's their tiramisu.
The only thing that wasn't bad was the service; the servers always ensured our glasses were full & the table was cleared.
For $24.99 +tax per person (Friday - Sunday costs) I think there are other - BETTER AYCE sushi places I'd rather go to & recommend.
I don't plan on ever going back.
