I was really excited to try this place because of all the other positive reviews. First of all, yes it is better that You and I but not by much. The Good - Sushi chefs were awesome, very friend and fast. They were very on top of the orders. The fish was very good. The drunken tiger roll was pretty cool, they light the plate on fire and bring it to your table. It was very cool. The Bad- The all you can eat dinner is $25.99,in the window they taped a "5" over the "1" and it was pretty obvious. When we walked in there was no one to greet us. There was only another couple in there. The atmosphere isn't much at all. They have some tables set up where its half chairs and half booth seating. The booths were not padded, but they did have random pillows you could sit on. I don't know...it seemed rather weird to me. What really worried me was that the floor looked like it had never been mopped. We were seated at a very small table. The all you can eat menu was a lot shorter than the other reviewers made it out to be. The food was quick and it was semi okay. We ordered a Philadelphia roll and on the menu it said there was asparagus in it....when we received it there was hardly any cream cheese and no asparagus. Between me and my husband, we got like 10 pieces of Edamame...and it was cold - not a big fan of cold old Edamame. We actually had to ask for soy sauce cups, every other Japanese restaurant I've been too its been an automatic thing but not here. My husband and I didn't like the Caliente Roll at all - it was baby lobster and spicy crab I believe. I was pretty excited about it, but when we got it ..it had this horrible sauce on it. I think it had cheese (not cream cheese) and it kind of tasted like puke. The squid was mushy - but that's always a hit or miss. Our last order, my husband ordered albacore but we got salmon. The waitresses never came back to give us another paper to order and by then we were just over it. We asked for the check but it never came, so we just got up and stood at the register. Over all it was a decent place for people that aren't too familiar with good Japanese Restaurants. A bit too pricey for the food. Anyone looking for amazing specialty rolls should try "Sushi on Fire" in Huntington beach - It is definitely worth the drive. A far as a fantastic all you can eat sushi place, Zenko is the best in the area. They are located in Mission Viejo.
