Smile Shota AYCE Sushi

Smile Shota is an AYCE Japanese restaurant located inside CheongDam Food Hall. As you walk in, it's on the right-hand side, you can't miss it thanks to the big smiley face at the entrance. The restaurant is open, bright, and spacious, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Our server was friendly, patient, and very helpful. The menu offers a wide variety of dishes. With the All Day Special Menu at $35, you can order anything on the menu. If you choose the lunch-only menu at $26, there are a few restrictions, but there's still plenty to choose from. Considering the reasonable prices, the food quality is solid and enjoyable.

Came here for lunch because there were many positive online comments. AYCE at $25.95 on weekday lunch for 90 minutes seems reasonable. On closer examination it leaves out many premium choices and for $9 more, total $34.95 truly all you can eat any choices. Though many premium ones you can only get one time. So I basically went on both sides of the menu and picked mostly "one time only" then "All day special only" and that's probably got 15 and more dishes right off the bet. My expectation on and AYCE is not to expect premium sushi/sashimi etc when at around $36 which is about average nowadays. I wait till I get to Japan which is every year to have my fill of truly memorable fresh seafood under craftsman chefs. Back to Smile Shota, they are a lot busier than when this food hall opened in

In A Nutshell: -Smile Shota is a very, very good place to grab some AYCE sushi. -There are several reasons why I like this place. -The first is the huge selection you get to choose from when you do the all-you-can-eat. -You'll have your choice of the entire front/back of the menu. -There are a few items that you can only order once, but it's okay the menu contains a lot of variety of high-quality items. -The second reason why I like eating here is the minimal amount of rice they use for the sushi, you get your money's worth of protein vs. carbs. -The handrolls are huge & filled w/ lot's of fish (spicy tuna & yellowtail). -The third reason why I like eating here is the super-friendly service, everyone was always coming by to ask for more orders or filling up your water. Overall, I like th

Solid all you can eat sushi spot with an interesting vibe. It’s attached to a quirky food hall, and there’s a 90 minute limit on how long you can eat (presumably to prevent extreme acts of gluttony!). I had my fill of sushi in less than 60 minutes though and the sushi, sashimi and nigiri were all decent quality. Plus there are a lot of interesting rolls and apps that you can get as part of the AYCE deal. Great value for $36 a person.

Great little sushi joint that’s pretty close to the strip. Sushi was high quality and tasted delicious . All the sushi was fresh. My girls enjoyed the udon! The bulgolgie fries were not the best! The yakitori was a little on the dry side! However if you come for sushi, you came to the right place! Service was great. Place was clean !
