text: This place was so crowded! We went on a tuesday night and it was absolutely packed, not just at the bar but at all the tables as well. My wife and I decided to give this place a try since it is just down the street of our new apartment and we were hoping it would make for a good alternative to our usual sushi place, Yama. Afterwards we decided it was an OK place, but the extra drive to Yama was worth it for the better quality food. \n\n\n\nOk, so the good parts first I think... first, all you can drink soda was a plus, most sushi places will just give you a can of soda but this place gave nice big glasses. Servers were also very quick on the refills, and since I can down a glass of soda or water very quickly during a meal I kept out waiters busy, lol.\n\nWe both got the AYCE at the sushi bar and once we got the attention of our sushi chef started ordering. Most of the food was OK, the baked green mussels were about average while the garlic albacore was delicious. My wife absolutely loved their special \"Sushi Bon\" dish, one of their new specials. For dessert my wife and I also recommend the lychee sorbet, very tasty. Sadly this just about ends the positive portion of this review.\n\nOk, now for the problems. Other than the refills, service was slow as hell here. It took the chef about 20 minutes per item, longer if it was baked. At first I thought it was just because of the crowd, but even once it started emptying in the restaurant it remained painfully slow. This is despite the large number of sushi chefs on duty at the time as well! \n\nAs for the majority of the sushi itself it was nothing all the great. We tried a number of different items and found most of them to be a bit bland. Also, they all seemed to be variations of the same thing (and not a good thing at that). Presentation was a bit lacking as well, nearly every dish we had looked rushed and fell apart while we were trying to eat it. They had an item which was a variation of a dynamite roll that we ordered, it looked like they had skimped on the toppings, then when we went to eat it the thing turned to mush before we could take a bite. Most of the food was like this, either it fell apart or didn't seem to be cooked right or something just wasn't right. Really a let down for the evening. \n\nAll in all it was an OK experience, the plain sushi was yummy and I enjoyed a small number of the rolls, but the bulk of it was just not what I would consider quality sushi. How it got this busy and such a good rating is a mystery to me. But they do have a huge selection and if you are willing to brave some of the more interesting rolls then give it at least one try, you might find it is more to your tastes than my own.
