My husband and I have been to this restaurant a handful of times, and we stopped by recently…read more We started off by ordering our drinks; I ordered Iced Green Tea while my husband had a Sapporo Beer. Both of our drinks tasted great and were refreshing. The Iced Green Tea also had free refills, which was nice. Next we ordered some appetizers; the Spicy Garlic Edamame (our usual) and the King Crab Bites (to try something new). The Spicy Garlic Edamame was tasty as usual and had a nice kick. My husband wasn't a fan of the King Crab Bites because he thought they could've used more flavor and the texture was off. Lastly, we ordered our entrees; I tried something new and ordered the Pork Curry Katsu while my husband had the Pork Cutlet Ramen (mild spice level). The Pork Curry Katsu was delicious, complex, and full of flavor. The pork katsu was crispy and cooked to perfection, which complemented the curry and rice. My husband enjoyed his Pork Cutlet Ramen as well. His only issue was that it could've used a bit more salt. It is pricey here, but they do give generous entree portions. We were very full and had some leftovers to take home for later. We had a few different servers, and they were all polite and helpful. Our food was brought out quickly, which was also great. The only issue is that the service was a bit spotty and we weren't checked on very often to see if we needed anything (for example, I didn't get any refills). It wasn't too busy either, so I'm not sure why this was the case. The interior was clean and had a casual, slightly lively atmosphere. They have blend of modern and traditional Japanese decor, which gives off a comfy/modern dining experience. There's a decent amount of seating, and you have the option of sitting at the bar or a table. Both options put you in close proximity to other diners, but it's not necessarily a bad thing. They also had different mix of music genres playing in the background. Overall we had a decent experience and plan on stopping by again soon!

My family and I have been loyal customers of Joy Sushi at The Whitwood for many years. We come…read morebecause my daughter loves the sushi, and I have always been kindly allowed to bring in outside food for myself. This has never been an issue before. Today, Chef Jason loudly called me out from across the restaurant about my outside food instead of speaking to me privately. It was embarrassing and happened in front of my family, friends, and other guests. I also noticed him speaking harshly to the waitresses beforehand, which was disappointing to witness. As a business owner and a member of the local Chamber of Commerce, I understand that businesses have policies. However, the way those policies are communicated matters. A respectful, private conversation would have been appropriate. Publicly embarrassing a loyal customer is not. Thankfully, the waitresses continue to provide excellent service, but this experience left a very negative impression and reflects poorly on the business.

She made sure we always had everything we needed without ever making us feel rushed. Linda was knowledgeable about the menu, gave excellent recommendations, and checked on us throughout the meal to make sure everything was perfect. Her positive attitude and genuine kindness made our dining experience even more enjoyable. The food was great, but Linda's exceptional service is what really stood out. She went above and beyond to make us feel valued as customers. If you're lucky enough to have Linda as your waitress, you're in for an amazing experience. We'll definitely be back because of the outstanding service she provided!

Went to dinner with my family on a Tuesday evening. Our server was Linda (or at least I believe…read morethat was her name). She seemed friendly at first, but unfortunately our experience quickly went downhill. My husband ordered a ramen dish that never arrived. We waited quite a while, assuming it would be brought out, but no one ever checked in on our table. This seems to match other reviews mentioning a lack of staff awareness and attention to customers. The staff appeared to only come by to take orders and drop off checks. We were even seated near the register, yet no one noticed that an entire meal was missing. When it was time to pay, another employee helped us. We had to point out that the ramen never came and ask for it to be removed from the bill. His response was simply, "Sorry about that, let me take it off. Here's your total." There was no real sense of concern, apology, or effort to make the situation right. Mistakes happen, but the lack of communication and customer service is what made this experience so disappointing. Staff could benefit from additional customer service training and more awareness of their guests' needs. Unfortunately, after this experience, we will not be returning and would not recommend this restaurant to others.

The…read morewait time is atrocious and they're even more strict about having your entire party present to be seated, but the food is delicious. They have a touch screen tablet available for you to place your orders at your table and there's a timed dining limit. I usually don't have that issue when I go with just my sister or a small group, but I can see it being a challenge for larger parties, so I recommend thinking about your game plan accordingly. Their riceless are yummy and their butter pepper salmon + shrimp nigiri are my favorite. I can easily put away a few plates of those on my own, especially because they use minimal rice for nigiri here. I also love their tuna crunchy rice, but I don't know if they serve that dish anymore, unfortunately. Their appetizers like takoyaki, miso soup, shisito peppers, and spicy garlic edamame are also the bee's knees!

We arrived on a Friday around 6 pm and only waited about 5 minutes while they cleared off a table, which was great for dinner on a Friday night. From the moment we sat down, both servers were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and efficient. They kept everything moving without ever making us feel rushed. Our first round of food: 8 specialty rolls, sashimi, nigiri, and tempura, arrived in about 10 minutes. I was honestly shocked at how quickly everything came out, especially considering the size of the order. The quality didn't suffer either; everything tasted fresh and was beautifully presented. Service stayed consistently fast throughout the meal, making it easy to get all three rounds in. At $40 per person for AYCE, it's a fantastic value. The restaurant is always very clean. The women's restroom was well stocked and spotless, which I always appreciate. One thing I wish they'd change is utilizing the left side of the restaurant more often as it has a much cuter atmosphere. We were seated on the right side, which is clean and comfortable but doesn't have quite the same charm. It's easy to see why this has become my family's go-to AYCE sushi spot. Great service, fresh food, reasonable prices, and a consistently enjoyable experience keep us coming back.
