    Mad for Sushi has closed permanently. The new Golden Wang Donkatsu has opened in its place.

    First of all. The price for the meal starts at 39.99 regardless of time (lunch and dinner). 39.99 for regular AYCE and 48.99 I think for premium. What we like They have options to order half rolls for special rolls. So we can try variety of stuff. Many options for starters, lumpia, karaage, chashu bun, edamame, etc. Also have katsu and chicken curry , ramen, udon. Expansive menu. We also like that they put the bottle of water on the table so we don't have to keep asking. They do paper orders for nigiri and it's limited to 4 rounds. 2 nigiri order per person. What we don't like They have a limit of 2 special rolls per order. Regardless of half of full order. I wish they would let us do 4 half special rolls OR 2 full rolls per order. We came specifically for the special rolls so it was difficult to order all the types we want within the time frame. And they lock out ordering for 10min. So we can total order probably 5 times IF we keep an eye out for the menu to open up. But when you're eating you wont be paying attention to the screen. The rolls and nigiri are honestly just ok. There are a couple we enjoyed but for the price I think we were better off just going by ala carte restaurant. We like the Eagles, Red Dragon, Golden Knights. Spicy tuna was pretty good also. Other than that we weren't too impressed. Service was great. Right now they take InKind gift card which can be up to 30% off from Costco.

    One of the better AYCE sushi options in the Bay Area! Went in on a Thursday evening and it wasn't too busy. The inside is pretty big with plenty of tables, TVs, and booths. We were seated at a long table as a party of 6 so we got two of the ordering tablets which was nice. For the nigiri's, you order on a piece of paper and we were able to order 12 per round per paper (we got two) and a total of 4 times. We tapped out at two rounds of nigiri, so definitely plenty of nigiri to go around. The fish to rice ratio was actually pretty good and the fish tasted very fresh IMO. We also ordered some rolls and the 49ers was delicious. The tekka maki was good rice to fish ratio as well but the rice was a bit on the mushy side. The shrimp ball, jalapeño bomb, and udon were also great too. Overall, the food was solid for the price. The service was good despite there being only one waitress. She was very attentive and nice. The food came out quickly and we actually got full and had about 25 minutes left so I think it's plenty of time, just be sure to put in orders as soon as the time resets as we went on a slower day. Will definitely be back and the regular dinner AYCE for $39.99 was a steal. Give this spot a try!

    Went here for dinner and had a great all you can eat experience. They sit you down and you have 90 minutes to order as many rolls as you want. Make sure you don't over order as there is a $2 fee for every piece of sushi you do not eat! For nigiri, you have 4 rounds, each round you can order 4 orders of nigiri per person (8 total pieces). Since it was me and someone else, we were able to order 8 orders (16 pieces of nigiri) per round. The ambiance is very chill, clean and upbeat. They had the World Cup games on while we were there which was cool! The service was excellent, quality of food was surprisingly good for an AYCE sushi place and would definitely recommend checking it out!

    Came here for AYCE, but it is not really true AYCE. There is a cap on nigiri orders, 12 per person, and it only applies to adults, not even to the paying kids. That kind of defeats the purpose. A lot of people go to AYCE for the flexibility and mindset of ordering freely, not necessarily to overeat, so the restriction takes away from the experience. That said, the fish was actually pretty good and tasted fresh, which I appreciated. Service was fine and the overall experience was decent, but the limitations make it hard to justify coming back for AYCE specifically. If I am looking for AYCE, I would go somewhere without those restrictions. If I am okay with limited sushi, I would rather spend the money at a higher quality non-AYCE spot.

    I usually go to Harumi AYCE and wanted to try out the premium items they had here. The uni and unagi sushi were very delicious. Very good quality. The bummer was you can only order those items one time, almost cancelling the what ayce means. They do have a large selection of different items that Harumi doesn't have on their menu. Ordering was through a tablet on the table. However ambiance and service lacked on the day we were eating lunch. Maybe I went on an off day. There was two wait staff during the lunch period and both were very busy and didn't seem wanting to help much. So that was disappointing. The tea cup was quite small so I had to ask for refills several occasions. I would say if you don't mind or can overlook the lack of service, it's an option for a tasty ayce option.

    Nigiri's

    Had lunch here a couple weeks ago with my daughter. Plenty of seating and was seated right away. You had 90 mins for AYCE and you order through a tablet on the table. However, you need to order your nigiri's with your server. Each person is allowed 12 orders of nigiri, each comes with 2 pieces. If you want to order more, I believe there is an extra charge for it. Also, for the rolls you can order 2 rolls at a time. Overall, quality of the food was really good and the service was fast. Would definitely come back again whenever in the area again.

    I debated dropping my rating down to 4 stars because of my most recent experience here, but the food just tastes too good. Since my last visit, I noticed a big difference in the food and service. Before, the nigiri had barely even a drop of rice. Now, there is a significantly greater amount of rice. I noticed now there is a nigiri limit of 12 orders (2 pieces per order) per person. While although this is definitely a lot of nigiri, the fact that there is a restriction (outside of the 90 minute allotted timeframe) feels like it defeats the purpose of AYCE. If you want to order past this limit, there is an additional $4.99 fee. It feels like they are trying to get people to eat less while charging the same, if not more. During this Sunday afternoon visit, we were not even able to utilize the ordering screens for nigiri. A message would pop up saying "Call the server to order." We had to summon a server any time we wanted to order nigiri instead of conveniently using the screen. The vibe in there just feels completely different now. The TVs were all playing different things. The large one in the center was showing some online gaming tournament of characters running around shooting guns. Although this didn't bother me, it just felt a little out of place for a sushi restaurant. Regardless of these changes, the food still tastes delicious and I will stay a loyal customer.

    Wanted to try an AYCE although I am not built for one since I get full easily with minimal food, but we went for our daughter who wanted a lot of sushi! Place was not too busy during early evening. Order on ipad, wait at least 10 minutes before you can order again. Some of the items are additional like the kamas. Salmon nigiri was good and some of the rolls like dragon roll. Chirashi was more salad than fish, edamame was super spicy, shrimp tempura was pretty good, you get water or hot tea included, but honestly the price is a bit high for dinner at $43 pp. It is a local place to try at least once.

    It was my first time visiting this restaurant, and one of the main reasons we chose because of the nigiri. We also noticed a price update from the December 2025 menu image--the current price is now $34.99. The restaurant was very spacious and clean, parking was easy, and the service from the staff was amazing. The menu is on a tablet, very easy and convenient. The only exception is that nigiri must be ordered directly from the server, and there is a limit of 12 orders total, with 2 pieces per order per person, which is plenty. I also loved that many of the rolls could be ordered in half sizes, which made it easier to try more items. I liked that the menu had a wide variety of options, including both free and paid items, with fresh, grilled, and fried selections. Everything we tried tasted freshly made, which was a big plus. For drinks, I really liked how the corkage fee is $15, which makes this a great spot for special occasions as well. The only wish is that hot tea had been a little stronger, with more tea and less water, and a dessert menu (i.e., ice cream, coffee) too. Overall, the fresh food, clean environment, easy parking, and excellent service, I would definitely love to visit again.

    Last round.

    It's NOT all you can eat nigiri. Disappointing!! The fish is fresh. It's all you can eat rolls but they don't describe what's in those rolls. Service is terrible. Please plenty of other true AYCE sushi places.

    Been here 3 times before today and quality and service has definitely gone down since then. Not sure if change of ownership or change of staff but for an AYCE place, we were limited to 4 pieces each for nigiri. They raised prices to $49.99 for the premium sushi which I feel like only included maybe 5 or 6 extra different nigiri and it doesn't even include soda...The rice to fish ratio was definitely off. They packed the rice so it was so dense and chewy and not that great... you can see the difference in the fish sizing from the pictures. The fish was overhanging the rice before

    Hmm I thought I had reviewed this but here we go again. This is a great place to explore. I admire the philosophy. All you can eat sushi sounds like a trick, where you imagine a buffet with a few choices and who knows how long it's been out, but here thats not the case. You get 90 minutes, no rush, and choose from the menu the different options you want. My first time, as usual, is part of a learning process. I was not extremely hungry but wanted to test things out. I was drawn to the spider rolls, and they had several different types. All great, and I had cold soba noodles and a few other dishes. I guess I overlooked the sashimi section, and probably should have started with it, but I was pretty full by then. It was a great start to a great idea. For under $40 per person you can enjoy a complete meal of fresh food, including freshly made sushi. Definitely a great option for a group gathering.
