We pass by this place all the time, but finally stopped by to try the AYCE ... And my goodness, I frequent a lot of sushi places, and this place has very high quality, well portioned sized sushi. They have a great selection, the food came out very quickly even though the place was packed with customers. Absolutely love this place and will definitely eat there again!

I had high expectations after hearing great things about this place, and it still managed to exceed them. I've been to many all-you-can-eat sushi spots, and the quality is often hit or miss, but here, everything was incredible, even the appetizer menu was spectacular.
The staff was also amazing and very understanding to accommodate my group’s needs, which made the experience even better. I can already see myself becoming a regular here.
If you're ever in Buena Park or nearby, this is the place to go. I 100% recommend this place.

Cool spot for all you can eat and enjoy a nice night. One of the first Ayce sushi spot I’ve been to that’s really nice and upscale looking. The service was on point. The sushi grade was good for the price. Really easy to order and the portion selection is not overwhelming. Plus the rice on the sushi was not big, so that’s a plus.

I brought my wife here for her celebration on passing her Real Estate State Exam, and she LOVED IT! Their fish is very soft, tender, and buttery! The rice is just the perfect portion. The environment is very welcoming, good for group gatherings, family, or for date night. The omakase experience is recommended! There is not a piece of shashimi we did not enjoyed :). You can taste the quality of the fish and the time they put into it . We enjoyed it so much that we are coming back with some friends! 😀

The line was long, we waited about 55 minutes for our party of 12. We all got the AYCE Signature. The sashimi/capaccio is a 1-time order, not unlimited. It was very good. The rolls & nigiri’s are unlimited and delicious. We did not order any udon or ramen noodle. The shrimp tempura & calamari were just ok. The Takoyaki was too big, but tasted ok. The shishito peppers were delicious, repeat orders. Menu ordering online except for the nigiri’s (on paper menu). Service was pretty good considering the place is very busy. Price is very reasonable for the quality food you get. 2 thumbs up. Parking is a challenge. We parked at a bank half a block away.

Quite a popular and seemingly upscale AYCE sushi restaurant. During dinner time you might have to wait for a bit. We waited maybe 20 minutes for 2 so it wasn't that bad.
We opted for the highest tier with the omakase included. Overall everything was delicious but some pieces were hit and miss. For the price I'd expect a little more considering some AYCE significantly cheaper can offer nearly as good fish quality. However you're paying for the atmosphere and the hype I guess.
Service was also nonexistent because they seemed quite busy

After trying the sushi here, it might be hard for me to go back!
There is a bit of a wait so I recommend coming early so you can get seated. The service was pretty fast- I didn't have to wait long before getting my omakase selection.
The sushi itself? Really good. They have so many options to choose from and I absolutely love the chef's choice for the Omakase menu. Definitely will be coming back.

Was a little hesitant to come here because some reviews mentioned the wait to get in and for food was extremely long but we ended up only waiting about 30-40 minutes on a Sunday night and food was served quickly! The sushi was definitely the best I’ve had from AYCE and as always, the quality from 1st round is the best. We will definitely come back again.

We were a party of 8. We came at 4pm and the restaurant was practically empty but we still had to wait 15 minutes. The host was rude. The service was slow and the whole experience felt rushed. No one refilled our water glass. It was just meh. Also it’s not a good look when the empty dishes were not cleared.

The food was good, but the service was abysmal when I went. We had to ask for our order status 6 different times only for half of it to never show up. The only consistency came from the actual paper order sheet. They even changed our QR code mid meal since there was an error on their side.
I don't think it was worth the 40 dollar entry.

We came here to eat as a party of 6. We weren’t properly greeted by our server peter and he came over and said “are you ready to order?” We asked for an explanation of the menu and he looked at us awkwardly. We asked multiple times for ginger and didn’t have our drinks refilled at all. Not to mention tossing the plates down and acting like is asking for things is ruining your life. And then tossing the tab down and walking away? We are paying customers. As a server who also works in an izakaya, and has worked at multiple all you can eat places, I was extremely disappointed by the service. The food however was good. Good quality fish for the prices.

The restaurant offers an all-you-can-eat sushi experience in a nice and welcoming atmosphere. The ambiance is pleasant, and the decor adds to a comfortable dining experience. However, the sushi itself is average in taste—it’s not bad, but it doesn’t stand out either. On the positive side, the kitchen dishes are prepared incredibly quickly, which is great if you’re in a hurry or prefer hot items to come out fast. Overall, it’s a decent spot, especially if you prioritize speed and ambiance over exceptional sushi quality.

Precio: promedio alto (3 pts)
Sabor: promedio bueno (4 pts)
Recomendar: si
Opinion: como todos los sushi AYCE, lo bueno de aquí es que los sushi llevan poco arroz y el sashimi sobre el arroz es grande, quines son fanaticos del sushi les van a encantar, lo malo es que hay unos(premium) que solo te dan una vez y muy poquito. Ramen de ton kotsu no recomendable.

X-Fish has been a popular new spot in OC and I can see the appeal. It has a unique twist of an AYCE omakase menu that also includes yakitori, ramen, and udon. You can choose from three AYCE options such as the Lunch menu (Monday through Friday from 11 AM to 2 PM excluding holidays) for $27.99, the Signature menu (available every day from 11 AM to midnight) for $39.99, and the Omakase menu, which features unlimited hon maguro (bluefin tuna) offered daily from 11 AM-10 PM for $55/person.
There is a sheet of paper to pick nigiri and carpaccio and a separate iPad for appetizers, noodles, and sushi rolls. They have a limit of 10 pieces of nigiri per person each round. I tried their Omakase menu which includes the Signature AYCE sushi and a curated 9-piece platter that highlights their best fish. The quality of the fish on the omakase set was really good, but they were mostly the fishes from the signature menu with some additional features like their wagyu meat, uni, and sweet shrimp. My favorites were the salmon topped with ikura, the sweet shrimp, and, of course, the bluefin tuna. The unlimited bluefin tuna is supposedly the appeal of the Omakase menu, but I noticed that after my first round, they switched to serving regular tuna, which was a bit disappointing given the expectation of unlimited bluefin. The carpaccio and certain nigiris like the jumbo scallop, ikura, smoked salmon was limited to just 1 per person which was interesting because the quality of it wasn't that great.
The restaurant itself is clean, modern, and has a bright, inviting vibe especially around the bar area. It gets really busy for dinner and the wait can be pretty long for the orders to come out.

We've seen this spot on social media so often, we knew we had to give it a try when we were in the area! We had a reservation so we didn't need to wait in line or put our names down on the waitlist - when we arrived near opening, there was already a pretty decent crowd!
- PARKING -
Shares a lot with other businesses, but wasn't hard to find a spot.
- SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT -
I was checking in for our reservation and the host was doing his best to accommodate considering the large influx of customers waiting outside at opening. All the staff here are clearly working their hardest to keep on top of the lunch rush, and still keep a smile on their faces. I did notice it took a little bit for our Omakase plate to come out, but all our other food items came out fairly quickly. They also walk around with skewers, and you're free to take some!
The overall ambiance is very modern and feels very open. I liked the tall ceilings and brightness coming through the windows. It didn't feel like your typical AYCE spot, very elevated!
- FOOD -
Omakase AYCE ($55.00): We opted to try the Omakase option as we wanted to try the beautiful plated nigiri you get with the other AYCE options. I definitely think it's worth trying at least once, but each visit thereafter I think the Signature would be enough for me.
NIGIRI: The rice-to-fish ratio here is great!!! I don't feel like I'm eating a bowl of rice with every nigiri piece, which is very valuable at AYCE sushi spots. I really liked their Katsuo X Fish Salmon, Yellowtail and Scallops.
ROLLS: I always have to get a no-rice roll if it's available, not only to save carb space but because I just like the crab meat wrapped in Salmon! They have a good variety of rolls to choose from!
SKEWERS: They say the meat changes, but we got Chicken the day we came. It had white and dark meat, as well as chicken skin!
- OVERALL -
Definitely come prepared to eat a ton! I wish I had more people with us to try more rolls and side dishes, but the food we got was delicious and well worth the price!

It was the first time I had visited X-Fish Izakaya. The wait time was minimal. They have a selection of two menu options I selected the Signature which comes with all you see in the menu picture. I was served by Kang Min he has a great personality, and knowledgeable about the menu if you need help. If you are around the area I would definitely recommend stopping by.

I'd been to X-Fish Izakaya before for a weekday lunch and loved it so I came back to try their AYCE Omakase for dinner! It's $55 and available every day from 11am-10pm. The fish is so fresh and presented beautifully. In the omakase, they made lots of unique flavors with yuzu, fish eggs, aioli, etc.
Each round for the AYCE is 10 pcs per person, and you can have up to 3 rounds / 90 minutes. My personal favorites are the Cajun Tuna, Tuna Tartare, Unagi, Masago, Bluefin Tuna, and all the Carpaccio options.
The restaurant is gorgeous, and the food quality and service are both amazing! The servers were super nice, refilled my water multiple times, and took away finished plates often. I love X-Fish!

Finally, a great AYCE sushi spot in Orange County! I used to have other favorites, but the quality at those places has gone downhill—so I’m glad X-Fish is now here.
The fish selection is absolutely worth the price, and the rice to fish ratio is perfect. My favorites are the yuzu yellowtail, jumbo scallop, bay scallop, tuna tartare, and bluefin tuna.
If you’re considering the Omakase option, I think the price difference is worth a try. They offer unique nigiri combined with delicious toppings, plus unlimited bluefin tuna while supplies last!
I also appreciate that their portion sizes for sides and other dishes are smaller, which lets you try more items without feeling overwhelmed.
On top of that, the service is excellent. The servers are attentive, and the chefs put a lot of care into preparing every dish. Bonus: the aesthetic and size of the restaurant is perfect for small or big parties!
On the weekends, it might be busy with longer wait times for the food, so just be prepared. I believe they improved since the last time I’ve been there and that’s great to see!
If the wait is too long at Buena Park, check out their Brea location too :)

I would not recommend this restaurant to families with kids. My wife, son, and I visited after seeing an Instagram video and decided to try the Omakase option ($55), which includes their AYCE (all-you-can-eat) menu. I told the waiter that my son would just have the regular AYCE menu ($39.99) at half price ($20), as he’s under their height requirement for a discount. However, the waiter insisted that everyone at the table must order the same thing, so my son would also have to get the Omakase. He then mentioned that my son wouldn’t actually receive the Omakase items, but could have unlimited bluefin tuna. I explained that my son only eats salmon and that bluefin is already part of the regular AYCE menu. So, why was I being charged an extra $8 for something he wouldn’t even eat?
When I asked to speak to the manager, I was told he was “too busy”—it felt dismissive and frustrating, as if they’d had complaints about this before.
To make matters worse, they placed restrictions on our orders. Although the AYCE menu allows up to 10 pieces of nigiri per person, they limited us to 20 pieces in total, effectively not counting my son. I’ve attached a photo of the AYCE menu showing where I initially ordered 30 pieces, only to have them reduce it to 20.
Another issue: the AYCE menu includes limited “one per person” items. I marked 3 but they changed it to 2 without explanation.
In short, this is a standard AYCE restaurant trying to appear upscale by adding restrictions and extra charges, especially on families with kids. If you do go, skip the Omakase—it’s not worth the cost. Stick to lunch rather than dinner, and be prepared for limitations that don’t match the advertised menu.

Don’t believe the hype of this place. The place is nicely decorated to mimic a fancy sushi restaurant in Japan but it’s a fake. Sushi is subpar at best. They offer two AYCE menus but don’t be fooled, many of the more attractive items are not “all you can eat.” The waiter tried to sell the Omakase menu saying that it offers all you can eat Bluefin Tuna, but the pieces we got looks like it was cut with a butter knife. To top it off, one of the items is “poke” that looks more like they took the left over pieces of fish and called it “poke.”
Fish had a very frozen taste like it was just defrosted. The fish used here is not sushi grade. I don’t expect 3 Michelin star sushi here, but it’s honestly some of the worst sushi I’ve ever ate. No care about how the fish is cut, no seasoning in the rice, and the rice to fish proportion is way off.
They advertise a “Pass Around Menu” but we only got one item. The menu shows six different items and we only got the pork belly. Again, another example of how this restaurant lies to their customers. The menu is very telling by putting in the fine print, “until product runs out.” What a cop out.
Service is extremely slow. Our initial order of sushi took over 30 minutes. To top it off, they failed to bring out many of the items we ordered. Our server never came to check on us and when you try and flag down a waiter to put in another round of sushi, they are no where to be found. You get the trend, an “all you can eat” restaurant except it’s very difficult to put items in.
At the end of our meal, I asked to put in another round of sushi. The waiter proceeds to tell us, “No, your time is up…I told you guys last call.” Then he proceeds to call a manger over to talk to us and points out the time limit to us. It’s not like I was trying to game the system, but that type of attitude sums up the service at this place. That’s fine, but I won’t be returning to a place treats their customers like this.

I love the atmosphere of this place. Inside interior looks big because of their high ceiling. There's enough searing without overcrowding is absolutely the best.
The service is great. They explained how the works and everything came out quickly.
They have 3 option menu to choose from. I chose premium ayce sushi for $39.99
So many great selections for $39.99 is a steal.
The appetizers list got me hooked, and I had to remember they have sushi, too. Don't fill up on appetizers only, haha
Nigiri selection with little rice is A+ in my book. Which means more fish to eat.
Part of the buffet they have udon and ramen as well. I like udon more and I chose the seafood option and wow, that broth was so good. I also love the serving spoon for it. I want it.
I'll be back

We got the omakase, but on our third round we waited about 20 minutes to get half of the 3rd round order. We waited another 25-30 minutes after being told the hon maguro tuna and the tuna would be coming out. So we called for the bill and paid and they didn’t bring up the rest of the sushi we had been waiting for. While we were waiting they even brought two full platters of sushi to a table that had been left by customers that went outside for 15-20 minutes. I know because we weren’t doing much while waiting for our food.
The omakase itself was a bit too salty. The chef probably put a bit too much pepper on some pieces.
The second round of “unlimited” hon maguro which is the point of paying an extra $15 was pretty frozen meaning they didn’t have as fresh sushi. Before asking for omakase I asked to make sure they had enough hon maguro to which our waiter said yes. The chefs wasn’t sure if the second round hon maguro was a 9 or a 5 so they only made 5 first then another 4 after they brought out the second round.
This was our second time here, so we expected better than this. We most likely won’t be returning ever.

They didn’t serve our order of Toro and when I asked the manager he accused me of eating it and wanting to steal a free order. He didn’t ask the waiters or bussers or anything just immediately accused me and my girlfriend of stealing and lying.

Online menus are separated to each table, so ordering online was extremely easy. I am definitely coming back

Do not bring kids to eat this place. They charged adult price for kids over 51 inches, and they also charged full price just to sit at the table and not eat. Our family came to visit this restaurant for the 1st time for AYCE dinner. We have 6 adults and 4 kids, and they charged all kids for adults price for the 8-10 years kids that over 51 inches. My wife was feeling sick and she didn’t want to eat so we told our waiter that she will be not eating but the waiter told us that she still be charged full price for just sitting. We don’t want to be rude and walk away since we already order the food. She never touch any of the sushi, and the kids barely eat, but they got charged for adult price. The food quality not worth $50. We will not come back to this restaurant.

this ayce spot has very great bang for your buck. our servers were extremely attentive and the operation runs pretty efficiently. for sashimi and sushi, they utilize a traditional 3 round system and they have a QR code that allows you to order ayce hot foods and rolls. the rice to fish ratio is very fair and allows you to get more fish which is always satisfying when you’re at ayce. the interior was super gorgeous and my partner and I left pretty happy. even at peak hours, the servers do diligence to check up on you to make sure you’ve received everything. andddd the omakase is much more affordable compared to most. I had a great time and I totally recommend kt

The fish was very fresh in each roll/dish we got with the all you can eat. The interior was very clean and the sushi bar had a nice modern appeal to it. The sushi was prepared in no time and the staff was nice and attentive. Can't wait to come back to try more of the menu!

i tried the omakase option and i loved their presentation! everything tasted very fresh and service was pretty quick
my favorite piece was actually the blue fin tuna, it took me by surprise and melted in my mouth! i highly recommend ordering the fresh wasabi, it really elevated the taste of the sushi!
overall, lots of choices and they even have ramen and udon.

Personally, food was decent at best. Pretty salty but service was spectacular. Took a while to get seated but when we did, we immediately took our order. It is like a buffet and you order on an app. Atmosphere was nice and you could see them prepare the food.

I visited twice and ate $55 Omakase and wrote a review. Because it was busy with many customers, the food was below average overall compared to the first time I went and it didn't taste good at all.
It's probably not worth paying more than $150 for two people.
Sushi the size of a fingernail isn't sushi.
I remember that the first time I went there, the food was clean and of good quality. I went back again with a hopeful mind...
Quick service and pretty-looking food after ordering Omakase i have had so much fun and ate my fill. Clean atmosphere / sushi / rolls and other foods maintained at least the basics.
but… The disappointing thing is that the table for two is too small.
Also one order is limited to 10 pieces of sushi per person, so since it was my first visit, I ate it in a hurry. I need to eat with a relaxed mind, but since I'm in a hurry, it doesn't taste like this or that, it all tastes the same.
Overall…
I have no intention of returning.

THE CONS:
1. The entire large and busy restaurant with only two restrooms- one for men and one for women- can be quite inconvenient. If you need to use the restroom but have to wait for an extended period, it could become a significant issue. Additionally, the staff also shares the same, two restrooms with customers. It is a noticeable flaw for a business of this size not to provide sufficient restroom facilities for both employees and customers.
2. The restroom is not well-maintained and reflects poorly on the overall customer experience.
3. Families with children should carefully reconsider before choosing this as a destination unless finances are not a primary concern. Because children are charged the full price, the same as adults, which is $39.99 unless they are under 51 inches(4 feet 2 inches) tall. Only then are they eligible for a half-price rate, which is approximately $20.
THE PROS:
1. If you are a fans of sashimi, you should consider trying this restaurant. At the very least, they don't overpayment their sushi with rice, and the rolls contain less rice compared to other restaurants.
2. Impress with diverse variety in the food selection in sushi, rolls, udon and ramen 👍
3. The servers are nice.

Have you ever been somewhere that made you want to return IMMEDIATELY? That's X-Fish for me, but this time I wanted to try out their OG flagship location in Buena Park.
Best decision ever, I had some qualms about their Brea location (not as nicely decorated, smelled weird in there, and was difficult to flag anyone down for service), but this Buena Park location is LEAGUES apart.
It's so spacious and nice to watch the sushi chefs in action at the sushi bar in the middle of the restaurant. Dare I say, the taste may have been better at Brea? But I would ABSOLUTELY take Buena Park any day.
Notable mentions:
-Gotta get the Omakase menu with the Chef's choice set
-Tri-peppered salmon
-X-fish roll
Thanks for reading! ^-^

Quite a popular and seemingly upscale AYCE sushi restaurant. During dinner time you might have to wait for a bit. We waited maybe 20 minutes for 2 so it wasn't that bad.
We opted for the highest tier with the omakase included. Overall everything was delicious but some pieces were hit and miss. For the price I'd expect a little more considering some AYCE significantly cheaper can offer nearly as good fish quality. However you're paying for the atmosphere and the hype I guess.
Service was also nonexistent because they seemed quite busy

We got there a little before 12 pm on a Saturday and waited about 30 minutes for a table, which wasn’t too bad. Parking is really hard to find in this plaza.
We ordered the omakase which includes 9 pieces chef’s choice and of course the AYCE menu. The omakase set wasn’t really worth it as the fish was pretty much the same quality. There was a smidgeon of uni on the scallop and it was bad uni. For the AYCE we ordered just sushi. The salmon, yellowtail, squid, and yellowtail were all decent. We didn’t try any of the ramen, udon or rolls as they didn’t look special to me. I saw a lot of albacore and imitation crab listed within the rolls. The miso soup was standard.
There is a warning when you scan to open the online menu that there’s a fee for anything you don’t finish. I appreciate they didn’t put a lot of rice but the pieces of fish were also quite small. I think the price is fair. If you’re not picky about quality of sushi then this is a good place to go. I prefer good fish over quantity/volume so AYCE sushi isn’t really for me but my friend wanted to try it. I would rather pay more for really good omakase instead of filling myself up on mediocre to bad fish.

Omakase and ayce in one place! This is a great place if you’re craving sushi. There is a chef curated 9 piece omakase set along with the ayce menu. (With omakase is additional $). There is a variety of menu items, including specialty rolls, udon, and ramen. The fish here is very fresh tasting. There are a lot of appetite appetizers as well. We really enjoy the yellow tail collar and calamari. This place gets really busy, so highly suggest making a reservations beforehand or coming early to check in on yelp.

WOW! Where should I even begin? They missed half of our order for the first round or only two single bathroom stalls for a restaurant that seats over 100 people. Their bathroom is my least concern but it's their business practice that I'm trying to tell people to be careful. This is our second time visiting and it will be our last. It's sad because I originally had plans to come back with another group of friends. We ordered a bunch of food and after 45 items came out, they handed back our slip. We all thought it was strange that half of our order never came out. We asked one of the server about it and he said he'll go "Check" but never came back. If you want to live up your motto of being AYCE, give people what they ordered and NOT short on it to save a few buck. You might not experience their poor customer service on your first visit but I can assure you, the second time you will. This place unfortunately is a NO for me. What the heck were they thinking trying to skimp out on our order? When asked, they had no explanation.

I’ve eaten here a few times in the past but I’ll probably not go back.
We got there before 11am on Sunday. There was already a long line. Someone unlocked the door a few minutes after 11. Some people tried to go in but they were stopped by the employees. They let a few people in, I guess first few people who signed in on the tablet. There was a tall Asian male server(I think he wore a hat and glasses), who seemed already overwhelmed with the first couple of tables. There were still more than 20 people waiting outside. Today was extremely hot, later being more than 100 degrees. There was not much shade outside where people were waiting. Some older ladies opened the door and stepped inside. Then, I heard the same server shouting at them, “EVERYONE, STAY OUTSIDE!” That was really rude to yell at customers like that, especially at a restaurant where their cheapest menu is $40/person, very unprofessional. I’m sure the ladies just wanted to wait inside to stay away from the heat. Few minutes went by but I did not see them calling anyone else so we decided to go somewhere else. Maybe they did not have enough servers? Regardless, you don’t yell or shout at the customers that way. The guy obviously needs some training on customer service.
If the owner or the manager is reading this, I have some advices for you. Don’t bother commenting on my review with the same comment that sounds like it’s coming from a robot. Instead, train your employees to be courteous to customers and speak to them in a professional manner. You HAVE to provide proper training. That is your responsibility. Also, if you moved a couple of tables by the door, you could make some waiting area inside, for extreme weather conditions like today. Lastly, it seemed like your employees were calling people in at their convenience, which was why it was taking a long time for customers to get inside the restaurant. You have enough room and tables. If you just let the people in and explain that the orders may take a longer, but you didn’t want people to wait outside in the hot weather. I’m sure the customers would understand and appreciate your accommodation.

fresh quality fish and love the portion sizes! the restaurant is clean and i love the minimal aesthetic. service was great though towards the end we felt kind of forgotten but we did come at a busy time (between 7:20pm-9:30pm). the only complaint was the music was incredibly loud and felt like i had to shout to talk to my family. though the song choice was A+ lol. would come again for the amazing food!

This premium AYCE sushi restaurant has a delicious variety of sushi rolls, appetizers, nigiri, udon, ramen and premium items. I love that they have an omakase plate. My favorite was the seared scallop with uni on top, it was melt in your mouth. They also have really great service and a clean warm interior. Also there’s so much parking! This is good for a date night, family dinner or friend hang out!

5 stars for freshness. High-quality seafood & more thanks to Chef Arthur. A modern approach to AYCE dining. Scan a code to access the online menu, and then you can order directly from your phone. As a senior, I found the menu system a bit confusing at first, especially if you are used to a detailed picture menu. $$ Get there early for a parking space. 2 tier pricing. We chose the $$ top tier. Beautifully plated . Must try.

we made reservations for lunch time and they sat us the minute our party of 5 were present. inside is really modern & bright. we were all surprised by how simple yet elegant the place looked. we sat down and decided to order the lunch special -i believe it’s a lil under $28 pp. there is literally so much to chose from and all of us enjoyed everything. i will definitely be returning. my advice- make sure you have reservations.

The food, ambient and even the music were amazing but when it came down to service I felt like the server was never really there when we needed them, and will leave the dirty plates / trash you have even after they come and bring you more food. We also started with no extra plates and when I asked for them the server brought me a stained plate... If they could improve the service this place would be my go to.

Sushi was pretty good. However every roll we tried with spicy tuna in it tasted very fishy and turned us off. The restaurant is nice inside and out, however the AC was set to the coldest setting and we were freezing the whole time on a summer night. Music was obnoxiously loud too and we could barely hear each other. My fiance said the women's bathroom was very disgusting.
Overall it was an ok experience. I might give them another chance again.

the sushi quality was great for the price. we ordered like 6 rounds of the spicy garlic edamame. we could only order 1 round of the sushi capaccio, it was not spectacular. we also ordered the izakaya it was OK, but I prob wouldn't order that again. those were only 1 rounds and not AYCE.
parking was limited and hard to find although a big lot it was totally full.
The service was OK... as in we had to wait 30 minutes at 2:00 pm on a Saturday to be seated, when through the windows there were clearly 5+tables clean and avail for seating... also idk how a resturant of their size only has 1 bathroom stall for women.

Service is pretty bad. When my table was ready we entered the restaurant and was waiting awkwardly by the front desk. None of the workers acknowledged us. I get it your busy managing the tables but not a single one mentioned "someone will seat you in a moment". I would say most other restaurants do that bare minimum but here it was kinda a mess. And once we were seated it took 15 minutes for someone to actually take our order. Also when you order make sure you order a lot because the food takes forever to come out. Food was okay. Fish quality was great but they like dip their nigiri rice in like some ponzu sauce so the rice basically falls apart when your grab it. Lastly other smaller ayce places have a lot better service I would say than this place.
