Opinions are mixed: fans highlight creative dishes, seared sushi, hand rolls and desserts; others find the sauces heavy or the dining limit strict during peak periods. It may not suit purists looking for simple sashimi, but it's a convenient downtown option for a lively group meal.

Value opinions vary.

Before You Visit an AYCE Restaurant
Many restaurants impose 90-minute to two-hour dining limits, sometimes with an earlier last-order cutoff.
Leftover food may incur a charge. Order small portions first and add more after trying them.
Lunch, dinner, weekends and holidays may have different prices and menus; sashimi is often limited to dinner or higher tiers.
Most advertised prices exclude tax and gratuity. Larger parties may incur automatic service fees.
Ask the restaurant directly about raw food, seafood, eggs, gluten and cross-contamination if you have dietary concerns.
