"Updated review post COVID, 2023:About par for an all you can eat sushi place. The menu has shrunk some, and the quality for the food preparation has definitely gone down my sashimi was mostly badly hacked chunks of fish, rather than thin sources cut on a bias, and just plunked on clumps of spiralized daikon. Someone did arrange my tamago into cute little hearts tho!Service was good but language can still be a barrier. They were very good about accommodating my food intolerances and answering menu questions.The atmosphere is still pleasant, the place has been fairly well kept up and the murals still look nice.Would still recommend for a casual meal, but more for the quantity than quality.Original review, circa 2017: Well above par for an all you can eat sushi place, would definitely recommend for a night out, a business lunch or a casual date. The cost is very low and while the menu is not extensive the quality is decent. I visited for a casual weekend lunch, by myself.Ambience: excellent! The murals are very well done, and very pleasing to the eye. The place was nicely decorated and outfitted it's obvious someone with taste had both style and comfort in mind when putting the place together.Food: surprisingly good. Overall the quality is good fish was fresh and flavourful, tempura was light and crispy, sauces did not drown their dishes. The miso was a little bland for my taste, and the quality of the rice a little uneven (some had a lot of sushi vinegar, some had very little) but was nice and fresh. Presentation was also surprisingly good there were little touches that showed a nice attention to detail.Service: very friendly, but for some there was a language barrier and they are not as familiar with standard American table service standards and expectations as they could be however, the staff's pleasant demeanor more than made up for it. When I came in, the chefs were not busy and kindly made an amuse bouche for me a nice little veggie salad, which just the right amount of a creamy spicy dressing."
