Wonderful Bento boxes. My wife and i each had the shrimp tempura bento box. The service was excellent and the decor cute.

Very overpriced for such few options of sushi. I love sushi & we have traveled to a few different conveyor belt sushi restaurants on the east coast, this was by far the most expensive & the least flavorful. We were there for almost an hour & a half & not a single basic shrimp tempura roll came by. The texture of the rice was a bit off & sometimes hard & a couple pieces of the fish were really gray/brown or the avocado was really brown. Waitresses were extremely friendly & helpful & for that I gave 2 stars. The booth seats & the table were clearly not cleaned & that disturbed me for a conveyor belt sushi restaurant. What disturbed me even more, was how filthy the women’s restroom was. We had came right at opening for dinner so it’s not like we came at a busy time & there wasn’t time to clean the place. All in all, a pretty disappointing experience that resulted in digestive pain & regret. Hoping this was just a really off day for this business rather than their usual service.

This is a great restaurant to introduce someone to sushi, however, I would not recommend this restaurant to someone that enjoys exotic rolls, as there were only basic rolls to choose from. We did the all you can eat for $30. All the food is up for grabs from the conveyor belt that passes by your table. It's two pieces per plate to help reduce waste. If you do end up wasting food, there is an additional charge. The food kept coming, but I saw no one in the restaurant getting drink refills, which made me sad. My favorite food on the conveyor belt was the sesame balls. They were filled with red bean paste and were WARM and fresh! Yummy.😊

We came right at 1pm on a Sunday as they turned on the revolving sushi belt. The hostess did not explain to us the all you can eat option so we had to just figure it out. It took a good half an hour for things to start coming on and a bit more time for a variety of rolls to revolve around. It is all you can eat but limited to what is on the belt. The variety and selection available was a bit disappointing, as there were maybe 3 types of sushi and 4 or 5 different rolls as well as a few salads and appetizers. We stayed for almost 1.5 hours and it felt like there weren't anymore new items being added. Given how communal the set up is, it would have been nice if the hosts and hostesses took times to explain revolving sushi etiquette to guests. I saw people reaching across lanes and lifting lids (of things they end up not taking). Overall, it is a very exciting and interesting concept. The experience was fun but in the future I would rather order off the menu. If you only like 1-2 different kind of rolls then the all you can eat option is good.
