I know, I know. Maybe my review should be void because of my name. But hear (or read) me out. My family and I LOVE the food here. Fair price for AYCE with kids under 7 being $10. However, we were charged twice for beer, when they only brought us one. So check for that. Also they already add gratuity to the check (when we were just a party of 4), I mean big cities have it for parties of 6, but the IE, be so for real for a second. I think it’s new management and they are MONEY HUNGRY. The server was nice and quick though.

We tried 6 different rolls, and they were all good, but our favorite were the Alaskan roll, baked salmon roll, hot night roll, and the Fiesta. We were not crazy about the California beach. They have a regular menu and all you can eat special. We chose the regular menu. The place is clean, spacious and very nice inside. The employees were very friendly and welcoming as we entered. I'm very picky about the flavor and freshness of a sushi roll, so I was very surprised and glad to have found a place that serves good sushi. The price for the roll I pretty reasonable, and the size is pretty good. I will be coming here often from now on.

Wonderful experience! My daughter and I come every year for her birthday, and the quality has only increased over the years. Great food, great service, and affordable. Highly recommend!

First time here while traveling home, my wife got hungry and wanted to eat some sushi. This is combination AYCE and in the evening they start their Shabu Shabu. You can come for just AYCE Sushi or just Shabu Shabu or both. If you choose both just add an additional $10 to the $29.99 price. A warning to new comers their roll portions are huge so I suggest ordering 1 first and you can gauge how much you can eat. There’s 3!rounds so after estimating what you can finish you may order what your stomach feels like eating. The waitress Sarah is so nice about explaining and taking our orders. Service is quick and all are very friendly! The atmosphere is inviting with good music. All in all the sushi was fresh and does not show that it came out of the fridge. The tip is automatically added to your bill.

All was great until they presented the bill. It had the tip added already, yet the receipt they brought to sign still had a place for a tip, which I'm sure some people add one not realizing the tip was already tacked on. DON'T PAY EXTRA TIP. SIMPLY WRITE "ALREADY ADDED" ON THE TIP LINE...

Got the Three Amigos fresh rolls to-go and was not impressed at all with them. $16.99 for very bland sushi. It did not taste bad at all, but I’ve had far better sushi. To be fair, this was the only item I’ve ever had here, but the first impression wasn’t great so I won’t be returning. Just check out the pic attached—kinda sad looking sushi too. Clean interior w a nice aesthetic though. Also plenty of parking in front of and beside the restaurant.
