"Small place, pretty plain inside. Mostly open area with tables and a sushi barCame in and was asked all you can eat or regular menu. Wasn't sure so they gave me both. Looked them over and decided to go with all you can eatThey do the ordering in rounds here, and you can do up to 4 rounds. They don't limit you but have Recommendations ofn3 rolls and 20 nigiri a round. They also have the standard AYCE rules about charging full price for unfinished items and riceOrdered 2 rolls and 8 nigiri to start. The Japanese lasagna baked roll is called crawfish over cheese and was good. Nice take on a classic. Also got the Tex mex roll and it was good but not as spicy as I'd hoped. Nigiri was good, fresh but small. Had all the usual suspects, tuna, salmon, yellowtail etc. I like more fish than rice and was opposite here but very tasty and freshFor round 2 I tried the shrimp tempura and tempura bananas. Both were excellent. You get 2 shrimps with the AYCE but was very light and tasty. Banal was really good and was my dessert. I only made it through 2 rounds. Service was a mixed bag. Server was friendly and very helpful. Answered all my questions and brought food with a smile. Only issue was he spent as much time making out with the hostess as waiting on tables. There was 3 tables while I was there, and we spent a lot of time waiting while they passionately made out, loudly kissing. I've been young and in love so I get it but was weird for sureI'd definitely come back"

"I was quite surprised at how busy this place was on a Thursday night around 8pm. It was literally 100 degrees outside and we walked in thinking we could easily cool off inside, but unfortunately the inside was still pretty warm. Their AC was probably working as hard as it could, but with all of the bodies in there, plus the insane heat outside, I don 't think it could keep up. Our server(s? did an amazing job of refilling our water glasses which really helped us out a lot over our course of our meal most definitely. Onto the food: we ordered 4 different rolls, from the regular to the signature maki as well as a beef tataki. We also ordered a cocktail each. The beef tataki was a perfect cold appetizer that we both really enjoyed to start off. I 'm not personally sure if I 've ever had that specifically before anywhere so I can 't really say how authentic or if the quality of it is on par with what it normally should, but we really really liked it! Onto the rolls I 'm kind of indifferent on them. I think they were all decent, but that 's as far as I would go. I 'd say the Dynamite was the best one out of all the ones we ordered. I don 't think I 'd go out of my way to come back to this place based on the taste and quality of the sushi, but if I 'm in the area, I think it 's solid. It 's just not the *best* sushi I 've ever had. I 'd definitely want to try other things such as Udon for example!"

"When I and my guests walked in, I immediately noticed people looking at us and what made it more uncomfortable their eyes followed us all the way to our seats. I looked back at them finally after I sat down and they stopped. Then the waitress came by and I tried being a little humorous, but she wasn't going with it. I then decided to just be normal with the waiters because I inferred that they were just being professional. The waiters took a while to refill our cups. Our initial waitress argued with me that there was no Rootbeer soda when I had just gotten a refill from another waiter. She even had the nerve to tell me that I didn't know what I was drinking. My initial drink was sweet tea, but she said they only served unsweet. I then decided to mix the unsweet with the sweet soda. I told her to serve a bit of tea and add the rest sprite soda. The cup came back very dark and tasted like unsweet tea. It should have been a very light brown if she had done it right. Then I'm told there was military discount and I ask if it was per person or per ticket or if there was another method. I was told no, which was okay. After a while, I am told there is no military discount at all. This is San Antonio Tx and I strongly believe there should be military discounts all over this great military city. I then tasted the food and if not for the extra sauce that was brought to me; I wouldn't have eaten it. The sushi at Chopstix, for me, tasted better than the ones I ordered there. I then got the bill and noticed an added 18% gratuity charge. It was just 4 of us there. The service was bad and the food wasn't very good. I will never return there. So disappointed with this place. UPDATE: AUG. 7 2021 The manager spoke with me and paid me back the wrongful gratuity charge. She told me we could actually let the waiters knows how to cook the items on the menu to better suit our wants. She apologized for the treatment we were given. I changed from 1 star to 3 stars. I am hoping that military discount becomes a reality there and that we get treated better next time we go. This place has a lot of potential and I hope to give it a whopping 5 stars soon."
