We were very pleasantly surprised by this place, and at the "all-you-can-eat" option! Oftentimes, AYCE places bring your food so slowly that you get full too fast and don't order more. Or the food is not the best quality. This is not at all the case here!
Our party of 5 came in for an early weeknight dinner. Their menu is huge, with so many different rolls and such to choose from. Because we were starving, we immediately ordered probably 18 rolls, calamari and shrimp tempura, an Unagi Roll, a Smoke Salmon nigiri, and some house salads.
Best of my recollection after such a bacchanalian feast, these are the rolls we got:
- Philadelphia Roll
- TNT Roll
- Kamikaze Roll - one of our favs, loved the torched salmon topping
- Crunch Roll
- Salmon Lover Roll
- Hero Roll
- Dynamite Roll - another favorite, loved the crunchy outside
- Spider Roll (2 orders)
- Alaskan Roll (4 orders!)
- Golden Knights Roll
- Orange County Roll (2 orders)
- Eel Tempura Roll
I thought the house salads were just ok. The dressing wasn't my favorite, and the lettuce didn't seem like ones you usually get in Japanese restaurants.
We immediately got 4 of the rolls to start with, along with the tempura, and the others followed pretty quickly. I think there was a little break, and then we got the last 4-5.
(The break probably happened when more customers came in, or they had a bunch of to-go orders.) Never a time when we were without rolls!
I don't think we actually ordered a second round - thought about it, but were still working on the final rolls, and decided to hold off - was a good idea, as we were stuffed by the end.
We ordered fresh wasabi as well, and this was such a treat! I'd never had this before, and it was a game-changer. A nice hot, but not lingering hot.
Regarding level of spice, the spicy rolls were spicy, but really not so bad. The exceptions was the one with Tabasco sauce (can't remember which) - that had a good burn to it!
We were incredibly impressed (only one guy making all the rolls too!), and will for sure come back. AYCE is the way to go!
