    Timestamp for proof we asked for the check exactly at 8:30 because last call was 8:15pm
    Kaitlin C.

    My boyfriend and I were so excited to try their AYCE sushi and came here on Father's Day (Sunday) around 7:45pm. We were the last 2 people seated as they close at 9pm but there were many tables open and it still took 15 minutes for us to be seated. First of all, the lady who sat us down was in a horrendous mood. I was willing to overlook it because she probably had a long day, but it took us another 10 minutes to get our order after placing it on the tablet. Then she looked annoyed because we asked for 2 half rolls instead of a full one because we didn't want to fill up and not be able to try anything else. It took another 5 minutes to get the half rolls back. Well, around 8:15pm and after our first round of sushi, a different server comes by to notify us that they're doing last call. It was annoying because we barely started eating/ordering and they're doing last call 15 min after being seated? It would have been nice if the original waitress notified us of that. So, like any other reasonable people, we ordered 16 pieces of nigiri and 1.5 more rolls. At this point we over ordered because we panicked AND they charge for extra leftovers including rice. We knew they were about it and would definitely charge so we had no other option except to man vs food it in like 15 more minutes because it was such an unpleasant experience and we just wanted to leave since everyone working seemed like they wanted to go home. TLDR: servers are rude n lwk hate their jobs, sushi is actually really good tho 4/5, we were pressured to do AYCE sushi in 30 minutes

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I'm giving this place 2 stars because there's definitely room for improvement, and I think it has potential. I was excited to try a new all-you-can-eat sushi spot, and we were seated right away as a party of four, so off to a great start. The restaurant itself is clean, modern, and has a good variety on the menu -- sashimi, nigiri, hand rolls, rolls, and hot items like ramen, udon, and katsu curry. Unfortunately, the experience took a turn by slow service and a very restrictive ordering system. You're limited to about 10 items per round (for a table, despite your party size) and can't place another order for 10 minutes. We came in hungry, so the long waits between orders made things frustrating pretty quickly. The customer service could definitely be improved. We were given incorrect information about our ordering tablet. We noticed that the tablet was showing we started at 60 minutes instead of 90 and that it couldn't be changed, but another waitress was able to fix it easily when we asked. They also forgot to check in on a beer order, and we eventually just opted out since it was taking too long. The food itself was good -- I did appreciate the rice-to-fish ratio with lighter rice and larger fish portions. Their appetizers were good as well, with the fried mushroom being my favorite. Overall, an okay experience, but I would not come back. There are definitely better AYCE sushi spots in the Bay Area.

    Lots of nigiri. I think this is pretty good.

    Great sushi, apps, and service. The atmosphere is good for larger groups and is lively! Cocktails are also good. Thank you, Mad for Sushi!!

    If you're used to Fuji Sushi, Mad Sushi may take a little adjustment. Orders are placed on an iPad at your table, which is convenient, but there are a few rules to note. There's a 90-minute time limit for all-you-can-eat, and you have to wait about 10-15 minutes between placing orders. The ambiance is clean and modern, and the restaurant itself is well kept. The sushi does take some patience -- the wait between orders is longer than what I'm accustomed to at other AYCE sushi spots. That said, the sushi rice-to-fish ratio is really good, and other reviews were spot on about that. Quality-wise, it's solid. Small note: the first tea we received was lukewarm, but the second round came out nice and hot. I want to give this place 5 stars because the food quality and cleanliness are there, but the wait time between ordering is something to be aware of if you're used to faster AYCE service. Overall, still a good experience -- just come with a little patience.

I went around and thought that there's going to be more room but it's not what I expected. Also am surprised that it's that many people on Monday but I guess they're celebrating late Father's Day too? Anyways, the food is really delicious and quality is tremendous. Very upscale honestly especially with how big the portion sizes are. I individually got Chicken Katsudon and it's not really hard. Very chewy and I couldn't finish it since I ate a lot of sushi before it arrived. My sister didn't even finish her individual plate too and so we ended up taking them to go. What shocked me is that they serve us a huge portion of desserts especially the green tea ice cream. I thought that it's only going to be one scoop but they gave us 3! I think the one scoop is for someone's birthday? I don't know. And the vanilla ice cream with grilled pineapple is so yummy and it had a lot of cinnamon flavor I believe. It's one of the best vanilla ice creams I'd ever had. I probably never tasted vanilla ice cream that good before! I also appreciate the staff for helping with us with our orders! They were so helpful and kind to us. If I ever bring my friends over, it'd be this place. I highly recommend for others to try this place because the food here is really amazing!

The miso soup was very good and not salty like most. The salad had a vinaigrette dressing with an herb I can't put my finger on. It was very refreshing.

Flavors and seasoning all balanced well, they put shiso leaf bits in between under the typically gamier fish and rice. Savory roe bits dot the top of some of the stronger tasting fishes. And 8pc were only $40. Salmon rolls (salmon salmon) and (orange ocean) were both good. Nice citrus hit in orange ocean but doesn't overpower - salmon salmon roll had good crisp and umami from the fried skin. The sashimi platter was solid - nothing that blew my mind but it was pretty good quality fish, only minor complaint was it was cut into oddly shaped chunks and not consistent in texture between each bite Also they gave a LOT of plum wine, not skimpy at all!
