My friends and I grew hungry after walking from Lansdowne and we saw this play nearby and decided to try it out during the evening. It was a small restaurant that looked like it was just starting out. I'd say the food was crappy. The Gyozas were still raw when they were served to us. I mean they were cold and slimy. All the other sushi rolls and Nigiris were mostly rice, and what I mean by that is that there is more rice than anything else. I hate to say this but their California rolls were crumpled when it was served to us. A bit of rice was falling apart and most of the pieces were loose. I had to order Nigiri on the menu twice because they forgot it and they should be ashamed because they forgotten to make it even though it wasn't busy at all when my friends and I were there. And when I got my Nigiris, the rice on the bottom was a huge and the fish on top was very thin... Well it was All You Can Eat for $11.99... I guess you could say you get what you pay for. If you were very hungry and did not care at all about the quality of food then I guess you could say its a perfect place for you. But quality is not the case for this restaurant.
Ambiance was great I should say. The lady who served us always seemed pretty concerned and focused on us since we were almost the only ones there. She was kind and she always remembered to fill up our cups with tea. And when I waved at her, she was at our table in split seconds. But pretty ironic that our order was forgotten once since we were the only ones there.
I never left any tip, the sushi was beyond horrible. I mean even I can make a better sushi roll where rice does not fall apart. The server was excellent, but they should get a new chef. Cheap isn't always so good. I wondered why my friends didn't want to go to Sui Sha Ya instead in Lansdowne.

I've been to a fair number of AYCE sushi places, but rarely encountered this kind of place.
At first glance, I thought this place might be some hidden gem; a small restaurant run by a family, may provide service and food that reflects a nice home-type meal. Jeez was I wrong.

Their AYCE menu was very limited, consisted of salmon/tuna sashimi and sushi. Various rolls. Vegie and yam tempura. beef/chicken teriyaki. gyoza. chicken/beef donburi. chicken/beef udon. miso soup. sunomono. tonkatsu, chicken karrage.
First off, the plates/bowls/chopsticks. All were not cleaned properly. If you were to run your finger slightly around the edges and on the inside, you'll notice this grimly film all over, including the chopstick! (fyi, the chopsticks weren't those cheap wooden disposible ones, they are the ones typically found in chinese restaurants). This was not isolated with just our set. A quick exchange with near by (empty) tables quickly showed the similar film all around. Unclean utensils: thumbs down.

The food was mediocre. The cooked food, ie, the chicken teriyaki, beef teriyaki, tonkatsu (pork cutlets), were pre-made and was microwaved. How did we know? besides the obvious 'ding' sound usually associated from microwaves, the food arrived at warm tempurature, NOT hot. As well, the teriyaki sauce that was on the meat was still in its jelly-like form, usually associated when something has been left alone for quite some time.

The chicken karage (wings) were freshly cooked (at least it seemed they were), however, it seemed their finishing touch was to generously dosed the finished meat with salt and pepper. Extremely salty (you can see the salt and pepper crystals on the meat and the plate), enough sodium to pump your heart to overdrive.

The sashimi was limited, like most AYCE places. However, the thing that ticked me off the most was the tuna sashimi....it camed FROZEN. well, not exactly frozen, but the meat was hard to poke through, and the bite was icy. The salmon sashimi seemed fine.

Their salmon and tuna sushi was...shall i say....filling? The sashimi on the rice was literally a sliver, and the rice was extremely packed together.

I think their saving grace was their cones. the chopped scallop cones were quite filling (largely due to the the amount of rice in side i suppose), and has plenty of chopped scallop inside.

Overall, with the limited menu choices, the way they prepared food, and for cleanliness, was this worth $11.99+ tax?
There are definitely other places that provide much better choices and food quality for the similiar price.
Would I return to this restaurant? heck no. This hidden gem should remain hidden.

I love this place - it is everything a hole-in-the wall should be.

Cheap food, good quality, and put together like a ransom note. The staff are friendly and it is tucked away in a little strip mall just off of #3 road.

Great value - good prices - need I say more? I used them for a party platter and half of my friends commented on how good the sushi was - and did I mention it was cheap?

The place is busy enough that it has enough turnover such that the food is always fresh.

I stop by everytime I am in richmond.
