The sushi is amazing and the staff are friendly, but to be honest I would give it 5/5 stars just because I like the little train that delivers your food. Simply delightful...

Good selection, more than downtown location. However, not all you can eat. Quick Service and very tasty food.

Very fast service - we could barely eat fast enough to make table space for the new food! No longer all-you-can-eat but they have a great combo package for $35 that feeds 1.5-2 people (we ordered 3 combos for 4 hungry people and had plenty!) Servers were very friendly. The floor was quite slippery (may have just been washed/waxed?) and the decoration was a bit plain but overall great experience.

Great food and service! We come to town once a month and this is usually where we stop for lunch. They offer Soy paper vs Seaweed for those who don’t enjoy it, though I would love to see more non-seafood options (yes I know it’s sushi). The best part is your food gets delivered by a little train system from the kitchen, it just rolls up with your food. The staff is always friendly and kind. Highly recommend if you’re on the lookout!

What a cool experience! They have little food trains that bring the food right to your table. You place your order on a tablet and in a few minutes your food comes shooting out from the kitchen. The food was fantastic. It's a little pricier than some other sushi restaurants, but the food is top quality. You're still guided to your table and the waiter checks in to see if you need anything and to take your dirty dishes. Also they have little bowls of ice cream for $1. No complaints, 5 stars well earned.
