I don’t know why this place has such bad reviews. Maybe I didn’t notice a lot of things. My experience was not bad- this isn’t fine dining, but it’s serviceable and the food wasn’t gross or anything. Also the staff was quick and I felt pretty friendly. I didn’t feel rushed and they weren’t rude to me. I came here for lunch with my mom and it’s $14 a person. Their sushi/nigiri selection is pretty decent! They had most cuts of fish, even squid, octopus, and surf clam. What I thought was kind of strange was they they were serving regular salmon nigiri, but had smoked salmon nigiri which was not as delicious in my opinion. But the options were decent! They had a lot of rolls too, a variety of different fishes on top and fillings on the inside. My biggest complaint about the sushi in general was that it had SO MUCH RICE. Like they could easily cut the rice portions in half and it would probably be fine. There was SO MUCH RICE. That’s probably how they get people full. There was dim sum and standard Chinese dishes. They had stir-fry vegetables, chicken, beef, pork, you name it. Their potstickers were decent. I also helped myself to the crawfish which was not too salty and actually some of the biggest crawfish I’ve seen at a buffet! Some of them were, dare I say, huge! They had salt and pepper crab too which most people piled into their plates. Temper your expectations. Come here for lunch, pay $14, and enjoy a variety of pretty safe and standard food. They even have a whole Mongolian BBQ grill station! What more could you ask for, other than no food poisoning I guess.

Kobe Hibachi, Sushi And Bar – Menu with Prices – 2819 N Division St, Spokane

I’ve only ever had sushi here at lunchtime, so that’s what my review is based on. My favorite thing to get is the sushi lunch of a chef selection of nigiri with a salmon roll. I’m a huge salmon fan, so it’s perfect for me. The seared tuna nigiri is delicious as well.I opted for a few simple rolls this last time. Can’t go wrong with a Philly and I really liked the fish-avocado-cream cheese ratio here. The tuna roll was larger than expected (no complaints there) and had wonderful flavor. The salmon toro was a real treat for me and I’ll order more next time. I also had the salmon skin roll, but I had so many scales in my first two pieces that it completely put me off finishing the roll. Service here is perfectly fine, but for how quiet it is when I’ve been here, it sure takes a long time to get to ask for the check, let alone pay. I’ve heard nothing but wonderful things about dinner service so I will come back for that sometime!

AYCE Sushi SCM – Menu with Prices – 3392 S Bristol St, Santa Ana

Brand new sushi joint that just opened up in the South Coast area! That obviously meant that I had to check it out as a fan of AYCE sushi. There was hardly a wait time when I went as it recently opened and not a lot of people know about it. The price is a little more expensive compared to other places, but I guess it’s worth it if you live in the area. I think dinner was about $29 for the weekend and if you wanted to have access to sashimi then it would be about $34. The menu itself is decent as you can choose from appetizers, rolls, sushi, and hand rolls. I tried a bunch of different items and the highlights are as follows: Beef gyoza: super crispy and has a juicy and flavorful inside Crawfish roll: pretty tasty and you get a good amount of crawfish on top of your rolls Salmon sushi: you get a good amount of salmon and not too much rice. The salmon itself didn’t taste fishy, but it didn’t have much of a taste as well. I wish they had options like seared, garlic, or even ponzu salmon. Eel sushi: highly recommend if you like eel! The sushi itself is not overloaded with sauce to the point where it is overbearing. Overall impression of the place is that it is decent, but there is definitely room for improvement. The Tokyo roll is literally just a California roll with tuna on top, which basically resembled the tuna sushi I got. Having more flavorful selections for the sushi would also help justify the price for AYCE. I don’t think they had some classical rolls like dragon roll which was surprising. Service was pretty good as the staff is attentive although some of the workers do not know how to identify or describe the rolls. It would be helpful if visitors were informed of which rolls were which as they tend to come in waves after you place your order. Check this place out if you’re in the area and craving for some sushi! My overall rating would be a 3.5 if I had that option.

Sing Sing Sushi – Menu with Prices – 2476 Pleasant Hill Rd, Duluth

I was hoping I could find a sushi spot with decent sushi who open later afternoon. I decide to try this place, but something didn’t really work out much. Sushi: 2 stars: it was a typical lunch time, t they didn’t have a lunch menu. I ordered a sushi roll and nigiri combo. It was $14 with 2 regular rolls and 6 pieces of nigiri, and miso soup and salad. But their nigiri was 2 pierces or salmon, 1 pieces of squid, 1 piece so shrimp and 2 pieces of some white fishmonger as posed to most of sushi places offer, tuna, yellow tail, salmon and so on. They just slammed whatever the cheapest, probably. Rolls were Ok. Nigiris were over squished typically seen in non-authentic sushi restaurant. Ambience: 2 stars: it’s a small family owned mom & pop style restaurant. Most of time, I usually like small places, but I felt a bit uninviting. Service: 2stars: They didn’t even take our drink order. BTW, we were the only customers at the time. When I ate my sushi half way through, a lady came back to our table. So I asked her if they had green tea. She said “Um, the iced one in a can is $2. …Hot one is free.”, as if she really didn’t want to tell me about the free one. She gave me an extra complimentary miso soup though. At the end of my dining experience, they started putting their employee lunch on one of those tables. I personally don’t like restaurants that their employees eat their meals as the same dining room as customers eat in. Prices: 1 Star: I think it’s way overpriced for what they serve both amount and quality of food. They have this marketing gimmick like other Yelpers mentioned, all the rolls are 50% off all day. Then why don’t they list the real prices, a half of what’s listed on their menu in the first place? I hate the feeling that they obviously they try to trick you or confuse you in a way they are actually insulting your intelligence. Who would think they actually got a good deal on sushi rolls? Do we have to calculate how much the sushi should be in our head every time we order something?? I don’t see any honesty in their business, Summery: I spent $17 including the tips, but if I had to pay $17, I could have gotten way way way better sushi lunch at elsewhere like Sushi Yoko, Sushi Avenue, and Waraku. Unfortunately, I can’t deny the feeling I wasted the money here.

Sake 2 Me Sushi – Menu with Prices – 9205 E 71st St, Tulsa

Wow. What an experience. Small, intimate space with about 15 tables and an eat at bar. Everything was clean and fresh…a great little spot. Staff was friendly and attentive. We stopped in here because I wanted a $12.99 Bento box, which apparently is only for lunches….for dinner they offer some combos, and they run a bit more up to about $20, but are supposed to have larger portions. By the time we looked at the prices, figured on the extra pieces or rolls we would add, we decided on the ALL YOU CAN EAT SUSHI for $29, each. Now that sounds like a lot. For me that’s huge, because I am the advocate of value, and I am frugal, but have dropped serious change at sushi houses before…The last time I had fresh made (not buffet) AYCE sushi was about 10 years ago, was $40 a plate, and they served “white tuna” (swordfish) because it was a cheaper alternative. If you have ever eaten fresh made sushi, you know how expensive it can be, typically $4-6 per order Nigiri sushi and $8-15 per roll… If you are going to complain about a $30 AYCE price for fresh made sushi, this isn’t your bag. That’s ok, just go elsewhere that’s more your speed. If your ready for a feast, this is it. By the time we were done, we had made, and subsequently devoured, 14 orders of Nigiri sushi and 7 different rolls….yeah.. we got our money’s worth. This would have been well over $120 if we had ordered by the roll/piece. But here’s the key…this wasn’t all rice. The Nigiri sushi pieces were HUGE about 1-1/2 times the size expected with small rice portions. The rolls were also not all rice. Many had a generous portion of crab, but this was always offset with ample toppings of everything from fried crawfish to eel to masago. We left stuffed, and weren’t hungry all day the next day… There were times we just sat and enjoyed the flavors. It was that good. We will be back…not tomorrow, still full.

Sushi King Fredericksburg – Menu with Prices – 1811 Carl D. Silver Pkwy, Fredericksburg

Chinese owned. College age students work the floor. A coworker of mine told me about this place as its one of the all you can eat sushi places in fredericksburg. I had to give it a shot as my taste jn sushi can get pretty expensive. I will avoid eating rolls because they usually will be filled unproportionately with all sorts of stuff or an insane amount of rice, then are fried or not, but doused with all sorts of sauces. This usually occurs in Chinese “sushi” places as a way to fill you up. Essentially it takes away from what sushi is supposed to be (as with all other Japanese cooking) which is simple and light but the element of each dish executed expertly. Walking in evening time frame, the restaurant was not really busy. There are many booths and seats open but it takes the hostess about 5 minutes to seat the couple in front of me in line, then another 2 minutes to find a seat from me. This is to make it convenient for the servers. Ok fair enough. Upon being seated I ask about the All you can eat (AYCE) Sushi and am told that Sashimi (slices of fish) is not included and is 50 cents a piece. I then ask about Nigiri (slices of fish on seasoned rice), and the waiter was confused. I explained to him what it is, and he finally gets it and yes its included. I think to myself, how typical. Its a Chinese owned place so they’re going to pack it as much rice as possible. I order the most basic of things to test the waters. Tuna nigiri, salmon nigiri, crab stick nigiri, and a seared tuna with ponzu sauce appetizer. So with the tuna and salmon, you get a sliver of fish and mainly rice just as I predicted would happen. They were at least fresh, but it was difficult to tell with how miniscule of a piece I got. The rice was not seasoned very well and as soon as I picked up the pieces, the rice would fall apart. As with other “sushi” pieces ordered, you get more of. You at least get the whole crab stick when you order it. The Tamago (egg) nigiri lacked flavor, and there were a bunch of other meats that typical sushi places offer but were not on the menu. Long story short I was disappointed. This isn’t sushi, its just Chinese trying to make a buck, putting fish on rice and calling it sushi for people who don’t know any better In Fredericksburg. If I could do half stars I’d give it 2.5 stars because I atleast ate my moneys worth. The things the restaurant cooked well were the crab rangoons and the shumai. Surprise, these are chinese dishes.

Kyoto Japanese Cuisine Menu with Prices 202 S Belair Rd, Augusta

The sushi here wasn’t that great, and the service was among some of the worst. The only reason that I did not give this place one star instead was because a lot of the non-sushi food that I saw going to other tables actually looked pretty good. Based on my terrible experience here I would not go back to sit down and try it, but MAYBE would someday think about ordering it to go. Came here with a group, there were six of us total. The place wasn’t super busy and we were seated right away. Another group of six sat down next to us a little after we did. The place started to fill up, but there were still open tables. Also, it was lunchtime so being moderately full shouldn’t be that surprising. We said we needed a bit longer to be ready to place our order, but then our server disappeared on us and we had to wait a long time to order despite obviously looking around trying to find our server. Finally we ordered, and pretty much all of us ordered sushi… since we were at a sushi restaurant. That was apparently a mistake. I watched multiple people getting their food who sat down well after us. Some people were getting food before we even got to place our order! The table of six next to us, who sat down after us, also got their food well before we did. It took an incredibly long time for our sushi to come out, and when it did most people’s orders were wrong. Our food did not come out at the same time, and one person in our group didn’t get his sushi until after we’d gotten our checks and finished eating. We were cutting it really close on time and thankfully had a little bit of an extended lunch or we never would have made it back to work in time. It was an incredibly frustrating lunch. I ordered scallop sashimi and three salmon maki rolls. The scallops were pretty decent, no complaints there really. I wish I could have gotten the scallops as nigiri without the rice, but for whatever reason that was not an option. The salmon maki rolls came out as inside-out rolls, which was incredibly weird. Usually plain salmon maki rolls don’t come inside-out and that’s why I order three. If I had known it was going to so big, I would have adjusted my order. To top it off, the fish wasn’t even that good. I ended up passing my third roll around the table. If you’re going to make a plain maki roll with one ingredient inside out, I’d think you should mention that before someone orders three!

Surah Korean Cuisine & BBQ – Menu with Prices – 3510 Interstate 70 Dr SE STE A, Columbia

I visited Surah with my two children today and was delighted by the experience. My 8 year old loves tuna nigiri sushi, so we got her 6 pieces of it. When the sushi chef saw her eating it by dunking the rice portion into soy sauce, he came over and showed her the proper way to eat sushi (lightly dip the fish portion in a small amount of soy sauce). I loved the interaction–it was cool to see the chef engaged with my daughter and my son had read about the proper way to eat sushi earlier so he liked seeing it demonstrated too. He offered to make the pieces smaller (basically divide the standard one into two pieces) the next time she comes to make it easier to eat. Both the standard tuna and white tuna were some of the prettiest I’ve seen in Columbia (not saying much), but also would stack up well against sushi in larger cities. The white tuna was especially good with a little mango and lemon zest. We also got an order of octopus nigiri sushi and dumplings that were delightful. My son had a bento box while I had the bibimbap in stone bowl. The bento box looked good but I didn’t try it. The bibimbap was very good with a nice crispy rice layer on the bottom. The egg was soft as it should be. The only thing I didn’t see with it was kimchi. Next time I’ll probably ask for some–I’m sure they have it somewhere. Service was excellent. Our server brought an easier to use set of chopsticks with a pink panda holding them together for my daughter to use and joked around with us a little. At the end we brought home a Surah roll for my wife who thought it was very good as well. I’d definitely come back to explore the menu, and it looks like this would be a good option for healthy lunch on the east side of town. Since it just opened recently, it wasn’t crowded. I really hope this place is able to make it because I think it’s easily one of the better restaurant options in Columbia.

Kaku’s Sushi & Seafood Buffet – Menu with Prices – 2330 Kalakaua Ave Suite 326, Honolulu

If you liked Makino Chaya then you’d definitely like this place. It’s located in the 3rd floor of international marketplace where Yuatcha used to be. They have indoor and outdoor seatings and you can make reservations online on open table for one of two seatings – 530 or 730 with a 90 min dining time limit. You can definitely get your fill for $35 kamaaina rate which is not bad considering this buffet has crab, made to order steak, baked oysters and sushi rolls. They have a variety of hot items which I think was a good assortment of Asian types of food dishes like orange chicken, beef sukiyaki, tempura, and fried rice. Their sushi bar consists of mostly rolls and nigiri and the only problem I had with this is the flying buggies that was only near the sushi items and the people dining that reused the same plates when they grabbed seconds *barf* they also had a ramen station which we didn’t try (it’s too hot for that) and a little window for desserts which was only crepes. Service was minimal but friendly enough. I noticed that they don’t buss tables as often as they should and those people on smaller tables had piles of dishes in the way. Oh yes. Since the crab is out on the line it is a free for all and you will come across some people that will take all of the crab legs. Honestly! I’m so proud of myself I did like 3 runs! Woot woot! But all in honesty – food is average and don’t expect much for quality items but you’ll definitely want a wheelbarrow to roll out in after your meal is over.

Sushi Sasabune – Menu with Prices – 101 N Brand Blvd #220, Glendale

Excellent melt in your mouth sushi! Reminds me of Sugar Fish. My coworker was saying how this was one of his favorite sushi places, but was a bit fancy. The lunch specials are pretty good though – although he said the prices went up. There’s two lunch specials, one that’s $23 and one that’s $28. We got the $28 which include sashimi over rice, and we all got the tuna because my coworker said it was particularly good here. It came with miso soup, seaweed salad and cucumbers,three sushi rolls – salmon, tuna and albacore, the sashimi on rice – could get salmon, tuna or albacore and the crab handroll. All were REALLY delicious and like I said, melts in your mouth. The rice in the sashimi bowl was really fresh as well. Service was good and the food came out quickly.

TANE VEGAN IZAKAYA – Menu with Prices – 2065 S Beretania St, Honolulu

When my friend suggested we have dinner at a vegan sushi place, I was first confused and honestly not that excited. I mean, if I’m not vegan, why avoid the best part of the sushi (the fish!)? I was happily surprised at how tasty each dish was! Nasu Agebitashi ($7): A simple starter for the night. Marinated eggplant served chilled. It has a sweet soy sauce taste to it. Not too salty and bold. Philadelphia Roll ($8): This roll is the vegan version of the usual. They change it up by substituting the smoked salmon with smoked tofu. I was “ok” with this dish. It definitely didnt stick out like the other rolls. The texture was also not my favorite (the tofu was firm, yet mushy.) The smoke was nice though. Sweet Potato Roll ($6): This is probably my least favorite of the night. It was exactly as how it is written, fried sweet potato wrapped in sushi rice. It was too much starch for my taste. Sunset Roll ($13): This roll was obviously inspired by the very popular Spicy Tuna roll. Instead of tuna, they use tofu as the protein! They topped it with avocado and a spicy sauce on the side if you want an extra kick. And for a fun aesthetic, they have a small flame at the end of the dish. This flame is not used to enhance the food in any way (we checked with the server). Half Moon Roll ($15) This roll was loaded with toppings! The sushi is a fried sweet potato roll, but they deep fry the whole roll after that. Then they top it off with smoked bean curd, pickled mango, onion, tomato, and sprinkled of shiso, yuzu, and jalapeno. This wasnt my favorite roll, but one of us really liked it. I dont particularly like sweet things with sushi so the mango threw me off. Eggplant Nigiri ($6/2 pieces): This was such a simple sushi nigiri, but it was so tasty! The eggplant was nicely marinated and the miso was a nice touch. Its definitely not the most inventive sushi, but it was made great! This was probably my favorite of the night. Yuba Nigiri ($6/2 pieces): I love yuba so I wanted to try this sushi. The firm texture of the yuba was great! However, the flavor for me was just a bit short. I wish I could taste the yuba more (maybe the rice took that away? Im not sure). Ambiance: The decor was great inside. Very contemporary and Japanese inspired. You can definitely tell its a Japanese restaurant. Lots of wood furniture and decor. The lighting was not too dim or too bright so it was comfortable. Parking: Passing the restaurant there is a small parking lot. The signs on the stalls are missing the restaurant’s name, but you can park there! We checked with the company and they said it is just not updated yet. If the lot is full, hopefully you can find street parking on Beretania, Young St, or somewhere close. Overall: The service was great! The server was kind and even suggested us to try the nigiri sushi; we almost didnt order any, but glad we did! The food was mostly very tasty and impressive, however the price is a little high in my opinion. Fresh fish is the most expensive part in the sushi, but these rolls excluded them and still priced pretty similarly. Maybe because produce is expensive in Hawaii? I would probably go again!

Tokyo Japan Sushi & Hibachi – Menu with Prices – 3000 N Green River Rd, Evansville

I stopped in here with a friend for dinner around 7:00 PM, and the establisment was completely empty. I briefly worried that this might be a bad sign, but my fears were unfounded. We were promptly seated and orders taken. The waitress was friendly, but all business. The atmisphere and decor were pleasent, and everything seemed clean. My friend ordered a couple sushi rolls, and I had the Teriyaki Salmon bento box. I ordered it because it gives a good variety of different things on the menu. It came with miso soup, ginger salad, tempura fried shrimp and vegetables, pork fried rice, spring rolls, a california sushi roll, and the Salmon teriyaki. All of them tasted fantastic, and were excellent examples of what Japanese cuisine should be. I highly recommend it to anyone.

Miso Sushi Menu with Prices 8019 Menaul Blvd NE Suite A, Albuquerque

4.75 STARS. As a sushi snob originally from California but living in ABQ 30+ years, I keep hoping for amazingly excellent sushi and Miso Sushi comes very, very, very close! The QUALITY of fish was amazing. Buttery, silky, smooth. Not a sinew anywhere. The absolutely superb quality of the fish will have me coming back repeatedly. The sushi rolls were artistically prepared when called for (i.e. rainbow roll). The plating design perfectly captured a sense of simple beauty. Even the wasabi was plated in a delicate swirl rather than the usual lump. The complements to the dish were excellent. The ice tea is a fragrant white tea and clearly fresh-brewed. No Lipton here. The broth of the miso soup was the best I’ve ever had–not overly salty and just a touch sweet. The salad blossomed with fresh, crisp, cold greens and a delightful miso/salty/sweet/vinegary dressing. My qualms (if you can even call them that) are minor. The fish on the nigiri was not quite as cold as I prefer. The sushi rice isn’t as “sticky” as it needs to be and tends to fall apart a bit too easily. When you try to dunk nigiri in soy sauce the Japanese way (fish down), the piece doesn’t hold together as well as it could. If you dunk “American” style (rice down), you can lose a chunk of the rice. (And for super-nitpicky stuff: They don’t have low-sodium soy sauce and the only artificial sweetener is saccharin.) The menu has many non-sushi items (tempura, soba, teriyaki) so you can bring your non-sushi friends. If you know sushi restaurants, you know that nigiri in combo dishes is always “chef’s choice” but the menu probably should mention that for newcomers. Service was friendly and attentive, but to be fair, Monday at lunch we were the only customers. (Waitstaff and busstaff were all fluent in English, in case that matters to you.) Decor is simple and immaculately clean. Calm music. As we were alone, I can’t comment on noise level. Two people, two rolls, 5 pieces of nigiri, 1 ice tea: total less than $40 including tip. For sushi with fish this good: bargain! I will absolutely be back and think ABQ sushi fans should try it!
