A disappointing experience overall. Perhaps it was because we were there with a Groupon deal or just simply that it was a busy night, but service was virtually nonexistent except for when they came with the tab at the end of our meal.
The food was decent in general (and the only reason for the 2*) - the sashimi was relatively fresh and the yakitori was good. The best thing we had was probably the lobster bisque, which is only available on weekends. The sushi came with a massive proportion of rice compared to fish, which is not uncommon with AYCE places that try to fill you up quickly. The beef sashimi looked not so appetizing in that it was piled into a little bowl soaking in red liquid. However, our biggest complaint was that about 40% of the items we ordered never even came. In total, we ordered 4 rounds of food. The first round came with the rolls and sushi almost 5 minutes after hitting the send button on the iPad. Handrolls, soup, salad, and yakitori came next in relatively quick fashion. The sashimi took a bit longer but eventually arrived. Teriyaki orders never came. On our second order, we attempted teriyaki again to no avail. Ramen and udon came almost instantly and sashimi took about 15 minutes to arrive. On the third order, we tried putting in 2 ramens and a fried rice - none of it came. We waited for about 20 minutes and finally put in 4th order of dessert. The ice cream and mousse arrived within 5 minutes and the deep fried banana was nowhere to be seen. The bill came on its own 5 minutes later.
There's not much to be said about the atmosphere of the restaurant apart from that it was super noisy the entire time we were there, but that can be expected of most AYCE Japanese restaurants in the area. We definitely will not be returning though - the passive aggressive method to limit food ordered by customers is not acceptable and frankly, false advertising by an AYCE establishment.
