MAD FOR SUSHI — Restaurant in Dublin

First, to the boss, the waitresses, and the customers at this restaurant, I swear I do and say nothing wrong. If I lie, I will go to hell immediately and have a car accident right away. It's ridiculous to stay in this restaurant. On May 29, 2025, at 12:45 p.m., my brother and I arrived at the restaurant. Initially, I stood in the reception area and waited for the waitresses to serve me. A young caucasian waitress with red hair came and nicely told me to wait 10 minutes. At that moment, I saw that there were at least five tables available to be seated, but I chose to wait because I understood that the waitresses might be busy. At 1 pm, I had waited over 10 minutes, and there were more clean tables because some customers had finished their lunch and left. I decided to ask the waitresses again. The second waitress, a young Asian girl(more sincere compared to the other girl), told me to wait 5 mins. I mentioned I had waited over 10 minutes. She asked me how long the first waitress told me to wait. I repeated “10 minutes.” Then, she immediately set up a table for my brother and me. We chose AYCE lunch for $37.99 per person (90 minutes). From 1 pm to 1:30 pm, including ordering (p.s., I placed my order quickly), we received a small bowl of sashimi salad and a small bowl of miso soup. As soon as they handed us food, I always appreciated them. I promised it was not as busy as the two waitresses described. They could even talk to sushi helpers, customers, and their boss or manager. Finally, I stood up and told the Caucasian waitress that I had decided to leave, but I would pay for the miso soup and the sashimi salad. The first time, this waitress was too nervous to charge me over $80 (AYCE for 2 people). I mentioned to her again that I hadn't eaten any sushi. Then, she charged me around $50 and told me the kitchen had already prepared my sushi (two orders of sushi). I told her to pack the food for me. She made me disappointed again. She told me they would pack for me soon, but I had still waited over 5 minutes. When I was waiting for my take-out order, I signed $5 as a tip, even though I disliked their excuses, “We are busy,” “We just have two people now,” and they did not work as quickly as they had described. A middle-aged Asian man looked like a manager or boss, even shook his head in the sushi-making area to make me feel like “I am completely speechless to this lady”. They even had enough time to deliver other orders to other customers. And the to-go orders looked messed up when the Caucasian waitress (so tricky) handed them to me. It was immediately apparent that they had not even started processing my order after I made...

I am torn about the new all you can eat sushi here. The food is great and the service is okay but the biggest deal breaker for me is this is NOT a family friendly restaurant! Might be a great date night and adults but they do not cater to families. Big reason why is the kid pricing. My family lives walking distance to the restaurant but we would never choose this place again for a family with children. The child price goes by height 48” or lower is considered a kids price at $24.99. Which is already pretty expensive for a child. But they don’t realize the average age for someone 48” is 7 years old! Because my son was over 48” they wanted me to pay adult price for him $45.99?? That is pretty ridiculous to expect a family with children to pay $45.99 for the kids over 48” tall. We were going to just purchase a la carte for my kid but the waitress refused. Said everyone has to be on the all you can eat. So no options for families. We were going to walk out and the waitress acted like she did us a favor and gave my kid the kids price. The food quality is good and my kids had a great time but sadly the last time we will eat here because of the pricing. Also the lunch menu and the dinner menu are exactly the same. You are not getting anything extra by going to dinner but it’s more expensive. This place is only going to be worth it for weekday lunch but for dinner, weekends, and people with kids not worth it. They are only catering to a particular demographic and will quickly realize why families aren’t eating there. I’ve seen 4 restaurants at this spot in the last 6 years and sadly if they don’t change the kid pricing to be more family friendly they are going to be the next failed restaurant. If they fix this issue we will be back often but as of now don’t go here if you have children, unless 5...

🌸 A Perfect Summer Day Trip – Montara State Beach + Mad for Sushi 🍣 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We started our day in San Francisco and took a scenic drive down Highway 1 to discover a true coastal gem — Montara State Beach. Visiting in late June, we were lucky to catch the pink wildflowers in full bloom. The hillside was blanketed in soft petals, and with the deep blue ocean in the background, it honestly felt like walking through a dream. 💗

🧭 Montara State Beach Travel Tips: • 📍About a 30-minute drive from San Francisco • 🌸 Best time to visit: Mid to late June for wildflowers • 📷 Photo tip: White or light blue dresses look stunning against the landscape! • 🌿 Bring a picnic blanket and snacks — you’ll want to stay for hours

After soaking in the ocean breeze and floral views, we headed to Dublin, CA for lunch at a new all-you-can-eat sushi spot — Mad for Sushi.

🍣 Mad for Sushi – Worth the Hype! • 💰 Lunch: $32.99 | Dinner: $42.99 (AYCE with top-notch quality!) • 🌸 The storefront is bright and inviting, with lots of flowers and Japanese-inspired decor — super clean and cozy inside • 🍽 Must-try dishes: • Mini Sushi Tacos (the mango salsa was such a fun twist!) • Ika Geso (crispy fried squid tentacles, packed with flavor) • Mad Seared Salmon (melt-in-your-mouth and slightly smoky) • Yuzu Yellowtail (light, citrusy, and refreshing) • Dublin Special Roll (spicy, crunchy, and totally addictive)

Service was also great — friendly staff, fast orders, and they kept the sushi coming without us even needing to ask.

✨Overall: Morning = wildflowers & ocean views that feed the soul Afternoon = sushi feast that hits the spot

Whether you’re visiting the Bay Area or just craving a dreamy day trip, this route is a total summer win. Nature + great food =...
