I have been here a handful of times and it is now one of my go-to places. The sushi is good, but it’s also not the best I’ve ever had My partner and I usually come here and we indulge on 8-10 rolls each, plus appetizers and dessert. The quality is good. It’s much better than we anticipated for an “all you can eat” deal. I’d rate the quality of the sushi a 7/10. I’ve had better sushi else where, but for the price and the amount you’re able to get it’s hard to beat. Good sushi, but great prices. In terms of experience, the timing between when you place your order to when you get it can be quite long at times. I think this is combination of the fact the sushi is made to order, and they can get quite busy, and the fact their business model is sort of betting on people not being able to eat their fill for the price you’re paying; we expected as much going into the restaurant. We learned you can order multiple rolls, appetizers, and other dishes at once. So even though you may wait some time it will be worth it to do so. Relax and enjoy your time out! I have also found going to the restaurant at slower times certainly speeds up the wait process and you’ll get your rolls much quicker. The customer service is decent, and the staff is about as friendly and professional as you would expect. Overall I really like this place. The $25 per person deal is really unmatched. You could easily spend $50 or $60 per person trying to get the same amount of sushi you would from another establishment and the quality would be about the same. That’s also not including other appetizers and dessert! It’s easy on the pocketbook and the quality is good.

Went to try Lily’s today and ordered off the all you can eat brunch menu. There was a nice selection on the menu with everything ranging from appetizers to sushi rolls to ice cream. The 13.99/person price was pretty fair for the quality of the food. If you also want to order Nigiri(there’s like nine or ten types), it’s an additional 4.99/person but is definitely worth it if you’re into that. There is a limit on how many rolls you can order every round but it is plenty for one round. By the time your food comes out and you order the next, the next round will be ready. There was a large selection of rolls; about 20 classic ones and about a dozen special rolls. Also there were several soups, salads, appetizers, rices, and noodles you could choose from. There were five different types of ice cream. However, there was a piece of plastic in the ice cream I ordered that seemed like it was from the plastic firm cover of the ice cream container when first opened. Otherwise, the food and service was excellent. I would definitely recommend!!

First of all, I want to preface by saying I’ve been a waitress before for many years so I have a higher tolerance than most for services at restaurants. Conclusion: wanted to really think positively about the whole place but honestly NOT impressed. The sushi rolls were mediocre, both waitresses we came into contact with were extremely rude, and we sat waiting 45min for our last order. Yeah $23.99 AYCE is worth it - if you like subpar sushi, unbelievably rude service, and getting full in between the plates served. Here are the reasons for the above conclusion. - took 30 minutes to be seated (by a lovely hostess honestly wish the tip could all just go to her) - took 20 more minutes to even get waters - got dirty plates and when asked for a replacement for clean ones, was given a dirty look, no apology, just grabbed and walked away - took about 30 minutes from sit down to get our order which we placed as soon as we sat down and it wasn’t correct - we spoke to the hostess about our order since our waitress was nowhere to be found and hadn’t bothered to check on us and SHE had checked in on us - was explained the limit was 3 servings per order placed (which I get for rolls, but we were ordering sashimi pieces and it felt a little ridiculous to get 3 pieces of fish every 25 minutes) - we were hungry (hence finding an AYCE) so we tried to put in as many orders as we could which was near impossible because the waitress was barely coming to the table - another different waitress then came to us and complained to us that we shouldn’t keep ordering small orders so frequently and she asked us how many we would want and grabbed the pencil from my husbands hand and wrote down the number herself (seems a bit disorganized and rude to me) - the restaurant closes at 10:30pm yet the last call to order is at 9:30pm we were seated at 7:30pm and were barely full by 8:30pm because of the absence of any urgency whatsoever of the service to serve the customers - we put another order in at 8:30pm and waited 45 minutes to get it

First thing that comes to mind after leaving this establish is EMBARRASSING!! Not sure if all the other reviews are friends/family or just people who don’t know what good Sushi is but I feel bad for anyone who thinks this place is good. First of all, it’s 1:30 on a Monday and there was a wait to be seated (Covid, I know). So we waited in the car for about 15 minutes and then sat down.. 2 menus tossed on the table and before we even sit down the hostess starts walking away. A waitress comes up for our drink order, we both get water, she brings it back in a cup that didn’t look super clean and no straws.. We get to round 1 of sushi and appetizers.. Almost all of the appetizers except for the egg rolls and dumplings were cold!! Sushi was okay with the exception of the hand roll which was terribly stuffed with rice and very chewy. We also ordered more rolls than we were given but they didn’t express this to us so we didn’t choose the 6 we got. In addition, our original menu was thrown back on the table with all types of gunk on it from the kitchen. DISGUSTING!! Next round we limited the appetizers and they did come out a bit hotter but the sushi unfortunately was 70%rice, 20% sauce, and 10% filling. We only got 5 of the 6 rolls we ordered and they were not of good quality. At this point we decided we didn’t want anymore because it simply wasn’t good, we went to order ice cream and the waitress took the paper and pencil from my husband wrote it in herself, smacked down our check, and walked away. Let me say, the ice cream was the best part of the whole meal. After paying, the waitress brought back a receipt with 18,20, and 25% gratuity options only, and they were boldly circled! Bold of them to assume that bad service and a poor customer service attitude would warrant such a tip. Couldn’t not recommend this place enough! Jasmines Asian House is much better quality for the price.

I imagine if prisons made sushi for the inmates, it would taste just like the sushi here. I tried my best to give this place a chance and really trusted in god. Was completely starving at the time. Here’s how it went… Before I start to inform you of my experience, please realize I DO EAT GROCERY STORE SUSHI (which would have been a HUGE upgrade to this place). Yes, I’ve also been to highly rated sushi restaurants too. However, sushi is truly not complicated. SERVICE: was slow, did not get what we ordered. Had to beg waiter for a water. There was one server/bartender on a Friday night dressed in sloppy t-shirt no uniform. FOOD: Of the items we ordered, we sent back multiple dishes and did not need replacements. Items were cold that were suppose to be hot. Kani salad was frozen with the only crunch to it being ice from the imitation crab meat thawing. Kani salad had no crunchies, cucumbers or caviar as it customarily does. The actual sushi came with a SPLAT of wasabi that looked like my cat through it up. Every single roll looked like a science project and loose as ever it was falling apart. Whatever meat the rolls were listed to have was just a sliver and basically all rice. Who knows if the rice was sushi grade. Nothing seemed fresh and everything seemed like it was sitting out. BUILDING & DECORE- This place was covered in faux florals and the couches in the waiting area where covered with fuzzy blankets. Just so weird and completely uninviting. I tried very hard to make the meal bearable, but it was a completely miserable experience. I should have walked out on this place immediately. AVOID! AVOID! AVOID! Would not feed to a child or pet.

The food was incredible. The speed of service was fantastic. Our server was very sweet and attentive. The price for all you can eat lunch was very reasonable as well.
