"My wife and I went when they opened up for the day recently. Immediately got seated in a spot we preferred and ordered drinks. Plenty of options for eating, and I mean a lot of options! Everything from sushi and rice to ramen and hibachi style combination dinners. My wife ordered a Poke bowl while I ordered the Shoyu Ramen and we also ordered pot rice with steak.What we didn't expect was a miso soup and ginger salad with our order (albeit we didn't see what our orders came with neither). The Miso soup was flavorful and delicious. The ginger salad was plentiful and the type of ginger sauce I like. One negative mark (in my opinion) is with the salad. Both my wife and I felt that there wasn't enough ginger sauce in the salad. Although we didn't expect it in the first place, it wasn't entirely too flavorful (lack of ginger sauce).My wife's opinion on the Poke bowl was that it didn't have too much flavor neither. It was plentiful as well, but lacked flavor according to her.My Shoyu Ramen was excellent! Big bowl, very flavorful, and delicious! I will be back for more and that's a promise. Their ramen alone was enough for me to be a repeat customer.The pot rice (with steak) was really good! It was big and plentiful. More than enough for my wife and I (although we didn't expect it to be that big). The only caveat is the price. I feel as if the price was just a little too much for what it is. We will still order it again and we do plan on going back soon.Our total bill was roughly a bit more than $25/person (before tip). Not entirely bad overall. Just a few items here and there seem to be expensive. We enjoyed the place. We enjoyed the food. We enjoyed the customer service. Definitely worth trying this place out if you haven't and it's definitely worth going back to.Edit: My wife and I went back again today (11/18/21). We ordered take out this time and I, again, got the Shoyu ramen. My wife got a different poke bowl from the first time and we also ordered beef fried rice. Everything was absolutely delicious! My wife enjoyed the poke bowl and I the ramen. We both took out most of the rice and definitely enjoyed the flavor. We were hoping to get some miso and salad like last time but I'm assuming that's for dine in. Until next time..... Because we will be back again!"

"My kid I stopped here for lunch at the suggestion of a good friend and we were not disappointed at all and were definitely full at the end of our meal.We both ordered the all you can eat option and we were ready for an adventure. The first thing that was a little confusing and was not explained at all by the server is that this is not a traditional buffet experience. You are handed several special paper menus and two pencils in which you would mark down what you wanted and then it would be prepared and brought out to you. This was very confusing to begin with since we did not know the etiquette at the restaurant and did not want to offend or look foolish.Once you place your order your food is prepared and brought out to you the food was quite enjoyable but unlike a traditional buffet where you could try one piece before going back for more you have to order entire rolls for most of the menu options. The option on the menu is 1 appetizer, 6 sashimi and 3 rolls of sushi and a desert as a standard order. THIS IS A LOT OF FOOD!We ended up trying to order a second time with less things chosen so that we could get our money's worth but when you realize you are charged extra for any uneaten food, normally .50 per sashimi and a dollar per roll. This can add up fast. Also, on a lot of the rolls are very thick with an unusually large amount of rice being used. Now I have to say we were impressed by the flavors we encountered, the food was very good but when you look at the investment it comes up a little short. Two all you can eat meals are $23 each, two sodas is $6, we ended up with uneaten food at the end that cost us an additional $6. All in all at the end of the meal we ended up spending just over $60 for two people.We are going to try a different location next time to see if this is the standard practice or just for this particular facility, but if you are hungry go ahead and stop by for the experience, but bring a full wallet to cover the cost."
