Back to 4 stars... after August 2022 visit. The #2 and #3 below are improving with the Combo sashimi plate deleted from the menu.
Reducing the rating to 3 stars after today's visit, Apr 4, 2022, for the following changes for the worse... Several key plates previously included in the all-you-can-eat option are no longer included -- sashimi combo plate, making the AYCE option moot. Rice-to-fish ratio has gone up significantly, creating imbalance in the taste, value, and health (too much carb). The quality and taste of non-sushi items appear to have gone down also. Not sure I will return here any more.
This is my 3rd time dining at this restaurant. The first time was a rather unpleasant (takeout) experience, not from the food but service wise, leading to a low rating. The second time was takeout for a company party. The food was still good and uneventful in terms of the takeout process. Today, we decided to dine in. Perhaps, my expectation was a low from the past experience. Surprisingly, it was quite good all around -- dining in made the food better and perhaps fresher and the service, much more accommodating and pleasant. The very nice presentation of the sushi and sashimi on unique stone plates perhaps made the food seem better. Also, the ambience (music included) was calm and soothing. This dine-in experience is worthy of (much) higher rating. In fact, this place is now my/our favorite sushi...

The food was most of the time very dry. Some garnish were just to be pretty but they made the dish not taste good. I ordered green tea and it got bitter real quick (lose leaves, so no way to take it out). Fanta was watered down by ice cubes. All the tapas and starter things were just too dry, the flavor was good most of the time. The gyoza was soggy instead of nicely golden brown, but tasty flavor. The crème brûlée was overtaken by the taste of burnt sugar. Menu did not have English so ordering was somewhat of a guessing game. The fish was quite fresh. In the end I’d not recommend and wouldn’t...
Read moreI guess it's not their restaurant so they don't have to care about sales. Still, bad customer service. I don't recommend for family with young children to walk in.
We were turned away because it was a "full house" even though there were plenty empty tables. We have 2 adults and 1 baby, which requires a high chair. The waitresses suggested us to seat on the high tables, which means the baby won't be able to seat on the high chair. Apparently those were the ONLY tables they have for walk-in customers. Apparently the rest of the regular tables were ALL BOOKED and there was NO WAY for us to eat there. We asked if we could sit on any other regular table and they can save the high tables for the groups without kids. They said absolutely NOT and...
