Came to AYCE Mabu Sushi in El Monte with my brother to celebrate my cousin's birthday for a weekend dinner. Overall, I think this place has the potential to be a solid 5-star AYCE sushi spot, but there are a few things holding it back. Let's start with the positives. The premium fish selection was fantastic. We pretty much ordered everything included in the premium menu except for the gyudon bowl, and the quality of the fish was impressive for an AYCE restaurant. The nigiri selection was excellent, the carpaccio sashimi dishes were delicious, and some of the specialty nigiri really stood out. The peppered tuna, peppered salmon, and the yuzu tuna and salmon nigiri were all highlights of the meal. For appetizers, we ordered the spicy garlic edamame, fried oyster, agedashi tofu, popcorn scallops, broiled mussels, and takoyaki. The standout appetizers were definitely the spicy garlic edamame and the agedashi tofu. Both were packed with flavor and were dishes I'd happily order again. The fried oyster and popcorn scallops were decent, but the breading was a little too thick for my liking. The broiled mussels and popcorn scallops were also slightly overcooked, making them a bit chewy. One surprise favorite was the Salmon Pleasure specialty roll. It had a nice thin layer of rice, wasn't overloaded with sauces, and allowed the fish flavors to shine through. If you're dining here, I'd definitely recommend ordering that roll. Now for the areas that need improvement. The biggest issue was the sushi rice. The fish quality was there, but the rice consistently held the nigiri back. The rice was mushy, lacked texture, and was missing that subtle rice vinegar flavor that gives sushi rice its balance. On top of that, the fish-to-rice ratio felt heavier on the fish compared to most sushi spots. While some people might see that as a positive, the rice still needs to be able to support and complement the fish. The other issue was the amount of sauce used throughout the menu. Many of the rolls, especially in the no-rice section, were heavily dressed with sauces and mayo. Sometimes less is more, and I think the quality fish would stand out much better with a lighter hand. Another small complaint is that drinks come as canned sodas rather than fountain drinks. Not a deal breaker, but a fountain soda option would be a nice addition. Service was the highlight of the night. Our server, Leo, did an outstanding job. He consistently checked on us, made sure our orders were coming out smoothly, and always made sure we had everything we needed. Great service can make a huge difference in the dining experience, and Leo definitely elevated ours. The ambiance was modern and comfortable with soft music playing in the background, making it easy to enjoy conversation throughout dinner. Parking was also easy. There's a large free parking lot shared with neighboring businesses, and we had no trouble finding a spot. Overall, AYCE Mabu Sushi has all the ingredients to be one of the better AYCE sushi spots in the area. The fish quality is there, the service is excellent, and the menu has a lot of variety. If they can improve the sushi rice and ease up on some of the sauces, I'd happily come back and could easily see this becoming a 5-star experience.

This new AYCE sushi restaurant in El Monte is a welcome addition to the local dining scene. They offer two all-you-can-eat options: a Regular Menu and a Premium Menu. Even the Regular Menu includes a generous variety of choices, with plenty of items that aren't rice-heavy, making it easy to sample a wide range of dishes. The food was good, and the quality was right on point for the price. The fish tasted fresh, portions were reasonable, and overall the menu offered solid value. Service, however, still has a few kinks to work out. The biggest issue was timing. After placing an order, there was often a long wait before any food arrived. Once dishes started coming out, they arrived steadily, but the pattern repeated with each round. After submitting a second order, there would be another lengthy pause before service resumed. My recommendation is to place your next round as soon as the first dishes hit the table to avoid sitting idle waiting for food. The ordering process could also be clearer. For the Regular Menu, guests receive a checklist form and are told that everything on it is included. However, each item has a price listed next to it, which makes it somewhat confusing. To add to the confusion, not everything on the sheet is actually included in the AYCE price, drinks, for example, are listed but cost extra. As for the staff, experiences varied. One of the female servers came across as somewhat cold and disorganized, although a language barrier may have played a role. On the other hand, a younger gentleman working the floor was friendly, polite, and attentive, providing a much more welcoming experience. Overall, the food quality and value make this place worth a visit. With some improvements to service flow and menu clarity, it has the potential to become a popular AYCE sushi destination in the area.

I would give this place 3.5 stars! Tried their AYCE dinner for $36.99 which is similar pricing as their other competitors in the surrounding areas. They did have a variety of appetizers and their sushi quality was average in my opinion. The service was decent and the food came out relatively quickly.

Food was overall good and a decent selection for AYCE. My favs included the baked mussels, nigiri, no rice rolls, and carpaccio. I think a lot of their fried foods (tempura, popcorn scallop, fried oysters, and fried squid legs) had a thick batter which wasn't my favorite but every item came freshly cooked. Interior looked really nice with cute lanterns on the ceiling and neon lights on the walls. Service was quiet but attentive. Parking: free plaza lot

Tried the new AYCE spot Mabu Sushi & Ramen in El Monte and was pleasantly surprised by the quality and variety. Since there aren't many all you can eat sushi spots in the SGV, this was a nice addition to the area. Lunch starts at $30 and includes a large selection of sushi, appetizers, rolls, and ramen. We started with the sashimi salad, carpaccio, and tempura. The fish was fresh and generously portioned while the tempura was lightly fried and crispy. The nigiri had thick cuts of fish with a good rice to fish ratio. One of my favorite items was definitely the spicy tuna crispy rice -- flavorful with a nice kick and great texture from the crunchy rice. They also offer no rice roll options which was nice to see. The ramen was surprisingly solid too. The broth was rich, noodles were firm, and the bowls come in smaller portions so it's easy to try multiple items. The premium sushi boat was both aesthetic and delicious. Fish was buttery and melt in your mouth, and the fried shrimp head was chef's kiss. Overall a great option if you're craving AYCE sushi in the SGV area.

Newly opened AYCE sushi spot in the 626. Came here for lunch for the AYCE sushi. Inside is super spacious and has cute Japanese cat details everywhere. Lots of options to choose from . They even have no rice rolls if you are watching carbs. They also offer spicy tuna crispy rice and spicy salmon crispy rice. Another standout beside that was the carpaccio. You can eat endless amounts.

There's premium sushi served on a sushi boat... at an all-you-can-eat spot?! Maybe this new sushi place in El Monte is about to make AYCE sushi go viral The premium sushi boat comes with soft shell crab, wagyu sushi, sweet shrimp, and more luxe picks. Price? $29.99 lunch special $36.99 premium (includes the sushi boat) And for the kids? Ending the meal with a banana boat dessert IG: socalhkfoodies

I've seen plenty of social media posts about this spot, so I had to come and try it for myself. I really enjoyed the ambiance, it's a big, open space, and there weren't that many people here on a Wednesday. We ended up getting the premium option, which basically gave each person one set of premium items plus AYCE from the regular menu. I thought the selection was good, and the sushi quality was definitely above average, especially compared to many other AYCE sushi spots I've been to. I'd rate the quality somewhere between a 4 and 4.5, which is really good for AYCE. Some notable items I really enjoyed were the mussels, fried oysters, and all the tuna and salmon sushi. All of the premium items were quite good, and the poke sashimi (carpaccio) were solid as well. The no-rice rolls (Sunrise & Anabolic roll) were light and refreshing. The special rolls were simple but good, though a bit heavy on rice, so you'll fill up quickly. I do like that many of the rolls come with only four pieces, that's a huge plus for AYCE, especially if you're dining with a smaller party. Overall, I'd definitely come back. I thought the price was reasonable for the quality, and having no wait is another big plus. Parking - Plenty as its in a huge lot that's almost never crowded.

TD Cafe closed after about a year and has now been replaced by Mabu AYCE Sushi. AYCE Pricing: Lunch (Mon-Fri): $29.99 (Premium $45.99) Weekend & Dinner: $36.99 (Premium $48.99) I ordered from the regular AYCE menu. You can order from the list up to three rounds. I asked if there was a time limit, and the waiter said we could stay until closing. There's a wide variety of options, including salads, appetizers, sushi, poke sashimi, no-rice rolls, fried rolls, baked rolls, specialty rolls, classic rolls, as well as ramen and udon. I didn't have enough room to try the noodles or specialty rolls. Overall, the food was decent--fresh enough for AYCE. I especially liked that they offer no-rice rolls. What I tried: ( = would order again) Yellowtail Tama (No Rice Roll) Salmon Tama (No Rice Roll) Sashimi Salad Seaweed Salad Shishito Peppers Organic Agedashi Tofu Takoyaki Crispy Squid Legs Fried Shumai Karaage Fried Chicken Dynamite Roll Yellowtail Collar Salmon Collar Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice Unagi Yuzu Salmon Yuzu Tuna Smelt Egg Bay Scallop Seared Albacore Yellowtail Poke Sashimi - Salmon Carpaccio Poke Sashimi - Yellowtail Carpaccio Poke Sashimi - Albacore Carpaccio Banana Boat Plenty of parking, lots of tables on a weekday night, and the service was very attentive, the waiter helped us to customize the banana boat to what we wanted. I wish they can make the ordering sheet bigger, it was hard to read with the low light environment. I saw another couple changed seat to a brighter table.

Staff was great and welcoming. The design of the restaurant is beautiful. The quality of the fish is pretty good! I enjoyed the salmon and yellowtail the most here.

Really cute spot! They have a huge menu of ayce sushi! I really like the premium boat and the presentation was super cute! The food was good! They were very quick about making sure we always had food on the table. The fish to rice ratio was good. I also liked that they have so many side dishes and half rolls so i could try more food.

New AYCE sushi spot that took over TD Cafe in El Monte. Came when it was fairly new with a large party. So when we walked in, realized that the staff was pretty much the same people from TD Cafe, but everybody was super attentive and accommodating. There's definitely kinks that need to be worked out; however, overall it was not bad. The appetizers are fairly safe. We enjoyed the crispy rice, edamame, seaweed salad, tempura, and tofu. Ordered the collar on our second round, but even after reminding them, we never got the order. As for the fish, it's OK. The sashimi dishes were not great, but we liked the sushi - especially the yuzu salmon, bay scallop, and eel. Rolls were alright. I liked my Philadelphia roll the most, lol. We also tried the ramen, which came in a small bowl. It was not bad. We did like the banana boat ice cream! It came with two scoops and two cones as well as banana. For the price of $36-37, it's not bad. If they get busy, I can see them falling quite behind. Glad to try it one time, but don't know if I'd return. Bumped it up to 4 stars because of the service.

New AYCE sushi in the neighborhood! The food is fresh, the service and fast and efficient. The environment of the restaurant is modern and cute. Place looks clean only had a few flys around due to the front door was open. They have plenty of choices for the regular Ayce which included no rice rolls and sashimi!

Extremely disappointing experience at Mabu Sushi from start to finish. The service was far below expectations, staff seemed disorganized, inattentive, and not very concerned about customers. What made it even worse was that the restaurant wasn't even busy more than half the place was empty, so there was really no excuse for the poor service. We had to wait quite a while just to get our order taken, and it only got worse from there. The food took forever to come out. We were left sitting there wondering if our order was forgotten. There was no communication, no updates, and no sense of urgency at all. When the food finally arrived, it was a letdown. The presentation was nothing impressive, and the taste was average at best. The fish didn't taste particularly fresh, and the rolls lacked flavor. Definitely not worth the long wait or the price we paid. To make matters worse, no one checked on us during the meal, and it was difficult to get anyone's attention when we needed something. The overall experience felt like poor management and lack of care for customers. For the price point, you would expect much better service and quality. Unfortunately, this place completely missed the mark. Save your money and go somewhere else. Unless you enjoy wasting time and overpaying for mediocre food and poor service, I would strongly recommend avoiding Mabu Sushi. read more

Came here during their soft opening on a Saturday night. There were 4-5 small parties and 1 very large party in the restaurant. The two sushi chefs and four servers were very obviously overwhelmed and food came out very slowly. We weren't sure how much the all you can eat was per person. A sign outside of the restaurant showed 39.99 crossed off and 36.99 as the price on Monday-Thursday, so we assumed the price would be 39.99 since it was a Saturday night. The menu showed 36.99 as the regular price with no indication that it cost 39.99 anywhere on the menu. Food quality - 3 stars. Sushi pieces had too much rice and the fish were fairly tasteless. The fried foods (tempura, fried oysters, fried squid, etc.) were over battered and had a floury texture. Best item on the menu was the Banana Split. Menu - very confusing. Though drinks and side orders were not included with the all you can eat, they were listed on the menu and order slip. Some items said it would come with 1 piece but came with 2 and vice versa. Service - decent, not great. The servers tried, but seem to be overwhelmed. Parking - very easy. Big parking lot. read more

The food wasn't as good as other places. If I had no other choices and I been here before, then Ill probably stay home. It's not very premium AYCE Sushi. For the food not the best, this place services not too top notch, the helper doesnt look around at their surroundings and everything comes out a tad slow. Ambiance is clean but the music they put for a family restaurant seems to me like a club vibe with music not appropriate for younger kids. Probably my first time giving them a try and probably would be my last time. Was hoping it will be great so have another place to go to around town but guess rather drive a bit farther for better quality and perhaps service. The two stars is because they do have dessert as part of their AYCE and ramen was decent, If I crave for ramen, maybe will go back but not for their AYCE. read more

false advertisement with the banana sundae on top of that on the menu is specifically says that if you leave five sushi, it cost one dollar. We only left seven they charged us five dollars on top of that always look at your receipt because they were trying to charge us some other side dishes and all that also as they do not explain that all you can eat to you the drinks have one round second round and third round us thinking that it was with all you can eat so once we ordered it, they didn't even tell us that these are gonna be charged separately. We are an all water family we don't usually get drinks bad communication honestly the worst sushi spot I've ever been at besides the food. The food was great but they are false advertising a lot. read more

I experienced your restaurant for the first time today. Showed up at 7pm and didn't leave until past 9:30pm. This is my honest review and recommendation. The food was good. I enjoyed it when it did finally make its way to my table. Below are my notes on service. What I experienced today is of no fault of the employees working this day. It on the set up in which the employees are forced to work with. - Get your employees cups and plates that are easy to handle. The plates and bowels that are currently being used are too heavy that it was difficult to lift and they were carrying multiple at a time leading to them being dropped. This is a safety hazard. An employee dropped something and couldn't pick it up because the dishes that were in their hands were too heavy and it appeared a guest began to pick it up. In situations like this when there's a drop and something breaks procedures should be that all employees within the area stop movements immediately until an employee can clear the area. - You need your employees to explain the directions of the ayce check list. A guest got angry with two hostess because he didn't know what he was doing and this lead to him being verbally abusive to the employees which could've been avoided if someone took the time to explain. A simple have you been here before from the front door host could be doing this and would limit confusion. But with short staff, employees didn't have the time to stop let alone explain the menu. - Automate your ayce menu into a tablet system. Tables that are designated for ayce should have a tablet allowing the guests to put in their order. You can program it to allow the menu by rounds. This allows the hosts to concentrate on delivering food. If you refuse to hire a bussing team, this option help and will adjust the host duties so instead of taking orders, they can concentrate on delivering food and taking plates. This will also able guests to pay and tip on the tablet and they can be on their way then freeing up tables. - If ayce is the main attraction of your restaurant you need to hire more chefs and hosts. I spent at least 45 minutes or more of my time waiting for my food or waiting for a host to notice me when I was waving my hands. Constant short staffing leads to increase stress for employees, accidents in the workplace, poor service, wrong orders, dirty work areas etc. out. It also leads to longer wait times because parties are waiting longer than they should. If you cant afford more staff all day consider it for dinner and weekends. And if you don't want to hire more staff then limit the ayce menu. You have too many options. It's one or the other. You also have too many tables that are difficult to host with the amount of staff you have. They can't dedicate their time to their tables which means poor service and poor reviews and it means terrible tips for your employees especially with bigger parties. Also, your dining area was also not ADA accessible. No one with a wheelchair can maneuver around the tables especially when the dining area is full. - Large parties. There were two big parties of 6 or more when I was there and when you have large parties you need at least two hosts to take care of them. If you have parties or 6 or more a reservation should be required ahead of time to allow you time to restructure your dining and staff coverage. When I was about to walk out a hostess took a call for a party of 20 for Sunday. With that many to host and the small area of your dining and your limited staff, it is best practice to close your dining to for at least a two hour period and treat the party of 20 as a private event. In situations like this, a deposit should be required so the dining party doesn't cancel last minute causing you to experience loss of wages With over a two decades of experience in customer service and hospitality, and many in the food industry, I feel like if some of these things were taken into consideration you will see increase in positive reviews and dining experiences and longer employees retention. People will be willing to come back. I know I won't be coming back again. read more

I've visited twice now. The first time, I waited at least 40 minutes before two dishes finally arrived; things only sped up after I urged them along. This time, I've been waiting for over an hour, and absolutely nothing has been served yet. The servers keep walking back and forth, seeing that our table is completely empty--yet it seems like no one even cares. I have never in my life seen a restaurant that fails to serve a single dish to its customers after more than an hour. I went in full of high expectations, only to leave absolutely fuming.

It seemed like they ran out of rice. We weren't sure if there was. After two hours all our food started coming out and they apologized. The food was definitely decent . It was good.

The wide variety of sushi and sashimi were endless. The seafood is one of the freshest seafood I've had in a while. The service from our waitress/waiter was quick and friendly. The ambiance and environment of this location feels authentic and calming. I came out of here quite satisfied and would love to come back once again! read more

Although I was eating alone, there was still people coming in late into the night before closing. It felt like a nice mom and pop shop and isn't too far from home. In addition, they had a menu with specials if you feel like ordering something with a drink and appetizer. I enjoyed the ramen with deep flavor in the soup. It was delicious and had thick cuts of meat. It was affordable, and I found that it was worth the price. I will definitely be coming back when I have a craving.

This was a solo trip so I only got 2 items - squid calamari and beef ramen. Both were fantastic! The place was empty at 6:45 on a Wednesday which made me nervous on quality, but the food was great, so I think they just need help getting the word out (which helped motivate my review) I really hope they stay in business. The woman who took my order was friendly and the kitchen was quick! I had low expectations for the squid knowing it likely wouldn't travel well for take out, but when I got home both the flavor and texture were great. The ramen was also really good. The broth was creamy and noodles had the right cook. I liked the unique flavor flashes that made the soup exciting but not overpowering - hints of ginger and a sichuan-like spice. I had a good experience, I'll try dine-in next time.

The noodles for me were just slightly too overcooked for my taste, but it wasn't a big deal. The tea egg was good with a just above jammy interior texture. The chashu was great though. It was very tender with no strange pork smell to it. It tasted fresh. I got the ramen with small rice bowl and salad combo. The rice bowl was alright as well. I got the pork cutlet and egg. I wanted the pork cutlet to be crispy, but the breading on the outside was soggy. The overall flavor was fine though. It had a braised, sweet soy sauce type of flavor to it. The salad was made of shredded cabbage and carrots with a creamy dressing on top that reminds me a lot of thousand island dressing. The slight bitterness from the raw cabbage paired well with the sweeter flavors of the dressing and the carrots. Service was okay.

For appetizers we ordered the Takoyaki, chicken karage and our main dishes Deluxe Tsukemen x3. The Break down: Atmosphere: 4/5 They greet you as you walk in, which I sets the vibe. You're welcomed into a cozy apace that has some decorative elements even to the music choice. Reminds me of our trip to japan, which I MISS SO MUCH! The Food Takoyaki: $8.95. 4/5 Stars. - Comes in 5pcs with sauce and bonito flakes. I liked how the outside was a bit crunchy and inside was fluffy! Karage: $8.95. 5/5 Stars - Comes in 5pcs. The sauce was tangy sweet kind of like teriyaki sauce. It was crispy but still so juicy and soft. HANDS DOWN GET THIS! Loved it so much I could have a whole bowl Tsukemen: $22.45. 5/5Stars - If you aren't familiar with this, the broth is separate from the noodles. Its a different way of experiencing noodles. The broth is thick, creamy and flavor profile is on point. Inside of the broth there is mushrooms and pcs of pork. The noodles are cooked perfectly and also comes with pcs of nori, soft boiled jammy eggs and 4 pcs of thick chashu. Portion size lets just say they are generous and we all can EAT ^^, Kakigori (MATCHA) $8/$14. 5/5 Stars - Definite MUST! Its made with Japanese shaved ice, a very creamy soft cream matcha sauce and matcha powder! I cant tell you how good this dessert is. The wife is obsessed and one if the main reasons why we found this spot in the first place. Please try! Service: - Super friendly staff! They are quick to get our order and serve our meal. I asked for more limes for my noodles 2x and both times they were quick. Made us feel very welcomed and checked in on us on a regular, which also reminded us of the service Japan showed us once upon a time. Overall: We love this place and we keep coming back with new people to share this type of noodle experience. Check them out im sure you will enjoy it. Lets just say we drove an hour to eat this. You def will not be disappointed :)

I had a weekend dinner at Tsujita LA Artisan Noodle with our group of four back in March 2025. The…read moreother two ordered tsukemen ($26.50 for the spicy deluxe and $23.50 for the spicy chasu) and found it very salty because they chose to consume it not by dipping the noodles in the bowl of broth, but rather by pouring all the broth from the bowl into the noodles, trying to recreate a normal bowl of ramen. I can't speak for them, but I will say, if you order the tsukemen and find that you want more dipping broth, that will be an extra charge. Order a regular bowl of ramen if you do not plan to dip the brothless noodles into the broth for each bite. BF and I both tried the spicy tuna bowl ($7.95), chashu bowl ($8.95), and tonkotsu ramen ($15.95). The bowls are a little smaller than the ramen bowls and are a great option if you want a light meal without feeling super full. The tonkotsu ramen had a slightly rich broth that was flavorful and a decent portion of noodles. We opted not to order the ramen with the egg since we were also trying the rice bowls. The three items were more than enough for the two of us and a good variety of food. Parking here is horrible at the street level, so head downstairs for the two levels of underground parking.

What we love is how customizable everything is-- you can choose your noodle firmness (soft to firm), soup oil level (light to rich), and soup base (mild to strong). Then add your favorite toppings. Not every ramen shop offers this level of customization! Another highlight is their lunch special starting at $18.45, available daily from 11 AM to 3 PM. You can pair your ramen with sides like gyoza, tacos, musubi, or a rice bowl. Don't forget they have desserts such as Icecream and made in japan cheesecake IG: socalhkfoodies

But found out it sold out in less than a day There's no collab decor as described on the website inside the store. The gyoza is small in size but packed with flavor. Might wish the size is slightly bigger though. Ramen is same as I remember years ago (customizable with noodle firmness, oil level, and saltiness level with the tare). Regular ramen contains 2 pieces of chashu, red ginger, and green onion (that I omitted) and a sprinkle of sesame seed. Everything else is add-ons so can get quite pricy for a medium portion size ramen if you start adding more toppings to it. I was sat right at the bar next to the register so I guess service is quick and attentive overall it's still a solid choice for ramen but without much special combo meals options or collab events, might not return as regularly due to price.

Then we started trying new ones opened in the area and now often go to one at the mall for good ramen and conscience.

We sat down and started looking at the menu - now a digital one with a tablet on every table. You can browse the menu on the tablet and put your order in on it. We ordered Okinawa soba and miso ramen. For $15 each, it seems like a decent price. We like the broths here. It's rich and deep without a layer of fat on top like most of the ramen shops. The noodles are firm with a nice bite to it. I especially like the Okinawa soba because it uses thicker noodles. The meat is tender and has a sweet flavor to it. If I had to nitpick, they don't have the Okinawa chili vinegar to go with the soba. It's a small shop. The walls are sprayed painted to look like a Japanese night time izakaya vibe.

The mazesoba was a bit on the salty side, but it wasn't something that bothered me. The seaweed and fish powder added extra depth and helped give the bowl more variety, while the green onions added a nice texture and freshness. I came on a Wednesday night and didn't have to wait at all, which was a plus. Overall, I enjoyed my first mazesoba experience here and could definitely see myself coming back whenever I'm in the area.

horrible experience and service if i would rank this dining spot out of 10, i would rate this in the negatives. i understand it was soft opening, but they charge $35+ dollars for one person and we barely got ANY rolls. i am not exaggerating. i went on a saturday night with a group and we were seated immediately at around 6pm. we ordered our first round of food at around 6:20, and food did not come until 7:30pm. we only got 5 rolls for our table that ordered 15 rolls in the first round. other tables were getting their rolls/sushi served to them while our table was empty. to add on, the restaurant was pretty empty after the first round, we ordered more rolls because we were STARVED, and we only got one more roll. all you can eat for $36 was not worth it as we got 6 rolls in the span of 2+ hours fish quality was also below average and we spent hard earned money on drinks we never received. the owner also didn't provide a discount and charged us full price even thought we did not get what we ordered. i am angered that we were starved and they barely acknowledged us. they did not apologize or anything, and we wasted our precious time, as time is money, on a sushi place that did not provide for the services we paid for. we ended up paying full price, and proceeded to spend more money to prevent us from starvation. not worth your time, go to in-n-out instead! read more

Horrible and disappointing experience! My family and friends and I had starved ourselves the entire day just to take this all you can eat challenge head on. We sat down with our hunger and excitement off the charts. This place seemed pretty promising, since the restaurant was quite empty and a waitress bribed the kids with Hatchimals. We expected the food to arrive quickly, since as I had previously stated, the restaurant was near empty. As we watched other tables get served their sushi rolls, we sat in hunger, wondering whether our food would ever arrive. I understand we ordered half the menu, but that is no excuse for only an eighth of our order to be arriving in 30 minute increments. During the 2 hour and 30 minute period we were there, each plate of sushi rolls that did not arrive seemed like a stab in the stomach. Besides this, the fish was not even fresh and tasted average and was nothing like the reviews. After waiting for so long and wasting our time, we left, extremely disappointed, as we had traveled miles just to try this viral sensation. read more

I had a very enjoyable sushi meal at the new Mabu Sushi, and I'm happy to recommend it. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was modern and welcoming, with nice decor that sets a pleasant tone for dinner. This is an AYCE (All You Can Eat) restaurant, and for $36.99, it offers solid value. The menu has a good selection of fresh nigiri, creative rolls, and appetizers made with quality ingredients. Everything we tried was fresh, well-prepared, and flavorful. Parking was easy with ample spaces available right nearby, making the visit convenient. What really made the experience better was our server, Kelvin. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and provided helpful recommendations. He kept things paced perfectly without any rush. His excellent service turned a good meal into a great one. If you're looking for quality sushi with good hospitality and strong value, Mabu Sushi is worth checking out. We'll definitely return soon and ask for Kelvin's section again. read more

If you haven't checked out Mabu Sushi on Lower Azusa Rd yet, you're missing out. This all-you-can-eat spot is a legit find in the SGV -- the menu is stacked with classic nigiri, poke sashimi, specialty rolls, ramen, and so much more. You get up to three rounds of ordering with no time limit, so there's zero pressure to rush through your meal. Do yourself a favor and go for the premium package -- your food shows up on an actual sushi boat loaded with wagyu sushi, soft shell crab, sweet shrimp, and more. It feels way fancier than the price suggests. Service-wise, the staff is friendly and chill -- they keep things moving without hovering over you, which makes the whole AYCE experience way more enjoyable. It's a newer spot but you honestly wouldn't know it by how smoothly things run. Great food, great value, great vibes. Mabu Sushi is quickly becoming a favorite in the area and honestly, it deserves the hype. read more

Here's a clean, natural English review you can use (Amazon/XHS style, not too long but still strong): Review: This all-you-can-eat sushi spot is such a great find! The price is very reasonable for the quality you get. Everything tasted super fresh -- especially the sashimi and sushi, which were nicely presented and full of flavor. I also loved the variety, from classic nigiri to tempura and specialty rolls. The ingredients didn't feel cheap at all, which is rare for AYCE places.
