The vast majority of my reviews are 4/5 stars, as I take every part of the experience into account, not just the flavor of the food. But today's experience at Sushi X was pretty dismal overall.
We arrived based on a recommendation of all-you-can-eat sushi for a decent price. Although I had no intention to partake in that offering, we quickly learned if one person at the table was getting all-you-can-eat, both had to. (Apparently that is the case no matter how large the party). While I can understand the concept, I immediately find this kind of rule off-putting. While I am sure some would take advantage of another's all-you-can-eat choice without getting it themself, I instantly feel as though I am not trusted by the management to follow common courtesy to not indulge in another's special.
Rules being rules, both of us decided to go for the all-you-can eat offer. The biggest compliment I can offer is the salmon sashimi was of excellent quality. I'll also compliment Sushi X for the wide variety of choices, more than just sushi and sashimi. Many appetizers were offered, salads, soups, and even two desserts (ice cream or the deep-dried banana with ice cream, chocolate sauce, etc).
But with my 1-Star rating clearly visible, it's time to drop the hammer on the management.
After our initial choices of sushi rolls and various sashimi pieces....the experience quickly went downhill with subsequent choices. The pictures I attached are actual serving sizes of the sashimi from our second and third order. I am embarrassed for the management for showing you all the actual peanut M&M size of some of the sashimi. Unprecedented.
Their policy also states at the table no over-ordering as any substantial leftovers would be charged at ala carte prices. So, not only have they announced upon your arrival that they don't trust you not to steal food you didn't pay for -- they also don't trust your judgement regarding how much you think you can eat. Logic would suggest that if you warned your patrons they will pay for leftovers not consumed, you probably wouldn't also need to tell them not to over-order.
We felt so sorry for the young man rushing around trying to handle all the tables it wasn't worth even getting into it with him, or the equally-young lady at the cash register.
The final insult was the $24.95 weekday price for all-you-can eat does not count on Friday, because, according to management, Friday's are the weekend. We paid $27.95 each. That is clearly stated out front (which we missed) but I find it humorous that management has also shortened many professional's work week to just 4 days.
Spread the word and share these pics. These are too funny to believe.
