Vegan maki roll with the fried tofu, green beans and sesame sauce was SO GOOD!! I haven’t had vegan sushi before, and I wasn’t sure if vegan sushi could truly scratch the sushi itch, but I decided to give it a try. I’m so glad I did because it was even better than I expected. Everything was flavorful and crispy. So good. Highly 100% recommend the vegan maki roll.

$17.99 for all you can eat sushi, that is really yummy, is such a deal! Would recommend, and definitely coming back!

Some of the better Pork tonkatsu shoyu ramen I’ve had. Japanese curry with chicken katsu was very pleasant too. Sushi rolls were good value with plenty of fish. Will have to try back for the $17.99 all you can eat sushi lunch special. Just as a heads up, there is a 10% discount if cash is used.

The food and the price are great. Really love the premium bento. The all you can order sushi deals are great too :$17 for lunch and $24 for dinners. Location is convenient right at downtown. The atmosphere is relaxing and great for small group gatherings.

Ordered the all you can eat and only was 17.99, great deal in my opinion. Service was pretty fast, granted it was on a Tuesday afternoon. Didn’t mind the plastic silverware that it was provided on. Food was great, they were all as described and delicious.

if you generally like takoyaki- you won’t like it from here. takoyaki- it was rubbery in the center. Maybe had a house sauce over it, that I was not familiar with. She forgot the drink we asked for and what it is (Just a sprite) lunch buffet is served on Paper plates. bathroom is hidden off - I’d not even go here if you’re planning to step into the bathroom.

Food is good but crowd is wicked crowded, and they declined my request over an hour ago for a reservation. They had plenty of tables open and didnt sit not one person down. They're unorganized. Don't go on the weekends or nights. These high school kids and people illegally drinking beer in the restaurant are nerve wrecking. Then you have to pay an extra $20 just for the high school kids to take the sushi home. Waste of my 1.5 hour drive.

The food was great and well presented(despite disposable silverware), but the service was extremely slow and could be improved. I would recommend overall!

Welcome to your next dose of micro plastics. The atmosphere leaves you feeling absolutely part of the rubbish. Dine in experience crashed by cutting corners and saving time. Cheap careless vibe. Miso is brewed in what looks like a coffee maker. Table had 3 separate order pages. 3people total — wait staff never checked in after orders placed — everyone got their appetizers. Hubs and my food slid onto the table. Could clearly identify our two orders between 3 plates. {multiple people on one plate no warning. Eeehh} our third person never got their entree food. I was to happy in my food to notice, if we had been checked on it might have been solved. Since there’s a different charge for take out my friend basically gave up on having dinner here. The fish and food itself: Didn’t taste fishy, the rice was the least favorite part. Everything was very Middle. Fish was sorta chilled, soup kinda hot.Things swim in sauce. They do allow modifications!! And I’d stop for another boba. Then . . . They tried to shove the blame “3 plates, 3 people” 👀 hubs and I had 20 nigiri and 4 rolls between the two of us. Clearly 3 plates worth of food none of it was what friend ordered.
