"Me and my bestie found this spot thru instagram they had a promo going for AYCE sushi, let me just say the hours were a pain between our work schedules but we were determined to pay a visit. We came on a rainy Tuesday evening, parking is free in an open plaza and we were greeted and seated right away. Our server Antonio was awesome he was kind, attentive and he explained the way there menu works. For each individual you can order 3 items each so a total of 6 at a time in each row. For premium once you get to the second row they start charging and you have to pay per item. Luckily for us we didn't want premium items. We start off with water and jasmine tea, I should've went with a milk tea. The jasmine tea was very much more like water than tea flavor but at least it wasn't powdered like the green tea. I order a miso soup, salad and crunch roll. My friend had a rainbow roll, a avocado salmon roll and beef udon. The miso soup was good, the salad was ok. The dressing wasn't really all that great. The crunch roll was a bit awkward, the crunch was like regular bread crumbs so they weren't soft at all it was scraping the roof of my mouth like when you eat dry cereal and the inside had fried shrimp not tempura but actual fried shrimp. I'm use to crunch rolls having regular not fried or tempura shrimp inside and the crunch is usually Panko breadcrumbs so it's soft and flaky with a tad crunch not bag of chips hard. My friend enjoyed her rolls but the beef udon the meat had to much fat but she still enjoyed it nevertheless. Round 2 I order baked shrimp and crab roll, with shoyu ramen. My friend orders baked scallop roll, and some oyster dish. She enjoyed both of her dishes. My shoyu ramen was good no complaints but I'm sure the tonkotsu would've been better. The baked rolls were so good but make sure to double check they remove the poo vein if that's something that you don't want to eat, I had to remove a couple. Final round she gets an eel roll, I order a baked salmon and lobster roll with chicken teriyaki. We enjoyed all our rolls but each one always just had a con instead of them being perfect but the taste was still there. For me the lobster was rough which is why I probably prefer crab or langostino and they went heavy on the spicy mayo because there was way to much in comparison to the last few rolls I had. The worst thing I ordered that night was the chicken teriyaki but I loved that the Robo waiter drops it off to you, it's so cute I love it! The chicken teriyaki you could tell was dark meat but one bite and it tasted like when you leave old meat uncovered in the freezer and they don't season it, just cook it and add sauce. When I say this dish ruined my appetite I was done after this one absolutely disgusting. Thank Antonio for us! He was nice enough to handle that for me because I'm not a believer in wasting food but it was gross. Oh and the biggest pet peeve con I had was in every single roll there was a gigantic piece of cucumber and I had to keep spitting it out. I'm not a fan of cucumber but most places slice them very thin so when I eat them I can't taste it, this spot was like HERE! chunks of cucumber for everyone! This is my con but may be your pro, either way this place is worth checking out for yourself. For dessert I used my yelp check in to get a complimentary scoop of matcha ice cream to go the tab was about $81 total together. We just split it in half, I would very much like to return here but idk if we will because AYCE was LTO and the quality of rolls aren't worth paying for each individually in comparison to other restaurants."
