"If I had to pick one word to describe this place, disappointed is the best I could do. I have been to the Broad Ripple location several times. It is always top-notch and great service. The Lawrence location is a far cry from the Broad Ripple location. It took a few minutes for us to even be noticed when we came in, despite there only being one occupied table in the whole restaurant. We were led to a table that was very sticky. It took an amount of effort to get the soy sauce off of the table. We asked the server to please wipe it down again for us and she did, but it made no difference whatsoever. I think when you use the same dirty rag to wipe down dirty tables, it’s hard for them to get clean. We placed our order and most of the food was pretty good. The sushi was pretty good. The fried items, crab rangoon, spring rolls, tempura mushrooms, and the dumplings were all very, very greasy. I don’t think that they were put on a draining rack for any length of time. The fish tank, right by the front door, is so filthy you could hardly see the fish. It’s not very appetizing to see scum and algae when you’re ready to eat a seafood dinner. The patio was closed but filled with trash and completely unappealing. I don’t know about the kitchen, but the entire dining room was in need of a deep clean. My shoes stuck to the floor, which is never what you want in a restaurant. The bathroom was filthy. The trash was overflowing and every square inch of the floor was sticky. The final piece of fun for the evening was the fly on our table. So I came back to the table after the bathroom trip, there was a fly dancing around on the table. I guess he figured out how to not get stuck to it. An all you can eat sushi restaurant is a big win. But the problems with this place outweigh the benefits of inexpensive sushi. I’ll go back to the Broadripple location. I’m not coming back to the Lawrence location again."
