Got the mid-week AYCE, overall great value. Solid variety in the menu and sushi quality is good. I can see why people would describe service as “pushy” as they are pretty attentive, but I appreciated the speed. Will certainly be back

My family went to the place for my birthday for a few years and we liked it. However, this year the experience was weird. The waitresses were pushing us to finish faster. Roaming around, bringing our bill before we ask and so on, while we were literally only guests at that moment. I felt extremely unwelcome, so we won’t come here again.

Worst sushi I’ve had all year. The sushi tasted super watery as if it was frozen and then slowly thawed in a lukewarm fridge. There are seriously better places around the same price for way higher quality! Even the warm food, like the chicken teriyaki and red snapper tasted out dated and low quality. The chicken had that rubbery and stringy texture. Seriously idk if this place was good in the past but its simply not anymore.

9/22/24 Sunday dinner... Sushi and more!! Still great, still BYO. 4/16/23 back for more... Still great (everything). FYI there is a great wine & beer store just down the road (West) for your BYO.... An easy 5 minute walk. 11/26/22 been back several times but I've slacked off with my updates here. Well, things are still really good. Sushi is fresh and service still really good. I used a thermos to bring in my hot saké (worked great). Summer 2019: We've been coming here for a few years. BYO is such a bonus :) nice staff and usually quick service. The food has been fresh and we love the all you can eat option. (Really, that is the main reason to come here). At 3p on a Sunday... Everyone else has gone and we are the only ones here ..... So nice and quiet. Wish they had yellowtail on the sash

Very good sushi but the servers can ruin an experience. They were chewing food while talking to us, ignoring us when we called to them and very rude when we would thank them for helping. This is the second time I had bad service experience.
