    I gave it a 3 star for value as every time, regardless of my table size, they only give one yellow tail collar. The server said the chef said there was no more. More than once, I see the dish come out after. I rather they just state one per table instead of one per round until they run out. If it is AYCE, buy more of it for your customers. It’s already $60 a person. Server was great. He was very friendly. Forgot his name, but a newer Caucasian blonde/orange hair male.

    Definitely one of the better quality AYCE around!!! Service was great. They were very attentive. They have a system - there is a sign on the table that you turn if you need service. Sushi was fresh and delicious. Rolls were great and not too overloaded with heavy sauce. They are pretty strict with their eating time (1 1/2) but we were full at 1 hour and 15 and didn’t even order a 3rd round. Recommend going with at least four people to make sure you experience a greater variety of rolls as they don’t do half rolls. Make a reservation to limit your wait. Would definitely go back!!! Yummy!!!

    We had a delicious lunch on Thanksgiving. They were so busy and pretty full when we arrived. We had reservations and were seated fairly quick. My son LOVES sushi so we had a lot of rolls. My favorites are All Hail Yellowtail, Aloha Fire and the veggie tempura but everything is good so you can’t go wrong.

    My friends have been raving about the happy hour here for months and wow were they right; there's lots of fun rolls to choose from on happy hour at a really great value. However, the food came out painfully slow. I was hesitant to order more because of how long it took for the first wave to come out. I'm not sure if they were understaffed that day or if they were catching the fish fresh but the wait was deplorable. I wouldn't come in a rush.

    Hello Amanda, thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the happy hour rolls and found them to be a great value. We sincerely apologize for the slow service you experienced, as that’s certainly not the standard we strive for. We’re looking into what caused the delay and will work to improve our timing. We appreciate your patience and hope you’ll give us another chance to provide a quicker and more enjoyable experience in the future!
