I'm going to review this place for its sushi and not its hibachi since that's most likely what you will be going to this restaurant for. I came here for the All You Can Eat special that they do, which costs $40 dollars ($30 plus tax and tip). The sushi menu itself is relatively small compared to a lot of other restaurants. Furthermore, a lot of their rolls have cheese in them or are fried. This is something I hate when combined with raw fish. I had 6 rolls, a handroll, a salad, and a miso soup, so I easily broke even and ate more than $30 worth of food. The problem is their portioning. They put a very negligible amount of fish in their rolls, so you're eating more rice and spicy mayo than fish most of the time. The rolls came out in a very speedy manner, and I didn't have to wait long for my orders to keep coming out, but they will absolutely skimp you on the fish portion when doing the AYCE option.
All in all, the service is great, wait staff are super friendly, place looks nice, the sushi tastes great, but dont expect your rolls to be packed with fish. Will that stop me from coming back? Probably not. But I would have liked a bit more fish...
Read moreThe food is pretty good. Probably the best sushi you can get in southern Alabama, which isn't saying a lot, but my biggest issue is the service. It feels like every time I'm here, nobody wants you in the restaurant. I've been feeling this way for a while, but today took the cake as I walked in an hour before close and they remind me twice that "we close soon" as I'm trying to order.
Anytime you order "all you can eat", you can expect almost no service, making it feel more like "all you can wait", regardless of how busy the restaurant is. I know it's a strategy for us to feel full before we can eat more, but it's so obvious, you will actually get hungrier as you wait!
I've spent well over $300 there in the past few months, but I'm going to start looking for other places who don't obviously treat me like junk.
Changed to 1 star as they pretended to be busy so they can take their time...
Read moreThis place has been great until this afternoon at 4:30. Sadly, we were told that our party of 13 could not be served because they had a party of 20 due at 5pm. There were only 2-3 other tables sat at the time we walked in. I told them we could be sat separately that it wasn't a big deal to be sat together but I was told no. I am very disappointed in the attitude and lack of customer service we received. I'm always harping on keeping business local to my hometown of Daleville and as such, we took our money to El Mariachi where we were served without delay. I realize businesses are short-handed these days but would 3 individual parties of 4 been turned away?? I don't believe the owner would have agreed with his employee's decision...
