Came here on a late Saturday evening, since we drive by this place so much. Decided to give this restaurant a try with the AYCE Premium. We mainly used the Nigiri's and couple rolls. Service was a bit slow at times, and whenever a server would come by to serve us one of them would slam the cup on the table. The hostess I will say has top notch customer service, he was great! For some reason the fishes did not seem fresh to me, and I guess you can say I stopped ordering at some point. Would I come back? Probably not, I have had more tastier and fresher tuna and other fishes. This place did not catch our eye, but at least my husband and I can say we tried it. The ordering process was a bit confusing, using a QR code for strictly appetizers only, then using two pieces of paper for ordering sushi menu. Split nigiri's and then sushi rolls. We did not get a drink menu, until later on.

Rice to fish ratio here is AMAZING. So eating nigiri doesn't make you full fast like other places. They also have unlimited salmon belly and scallop nigiri, which is hard to come by. Even though I don't like AYCE that much, out of all the ayce restaurants I would definitely come back again. No parking issues. Service is fast. Ambience is whatever, just come for the food and you shall be satisfied.

We came on a Saturday afternoon and were seated as soon as we arrived. Parking wasn't an issue it's in a plaza. The restaurant was a decent size, with a variety of tables and booths, including a few tables near the bar. Our waitress brought us a menu along with a paper order sheet for the sushi. There were both à la carte and AYCE options, and we chose the AYCE option, which was $38.95 per person on the weekend. For the side dishes, they use a QR code menu. One thing to keep in mind is that there is a five-minute wait between orders, although I believe you can order multiple items at once. Side dishes were just ok. I did feel that the service was on the slower side, especially since the restaurant wasn't particularly busy. It took around 20-30 minutes for our first order to come out. As for the sushi, it was good overall. The fish-to-rice ratio was decent, and I appreciated that they didn't overload the sushi with rice. The portions felt well-balanced, making it easy to enjoy the fish without feeling like I was mostly eating rice. My favorites were probably the uni, yellowtail, and bluefin tuna toro nigiri. The hand rolls were a little disappointing, as they were smaller than I expected. However, if you prefer smaller hand rolls, then the size may be just right for you.

I came here for dinner and there was a small wait before I got seated. They only offer premium ayce for dinner. I ordered different appetizers and nigiri. My favorites was shishito peppers, yellowtail nigiri, and the bluefin tuna toro. The cut for each fish was inconsistent for the nigiris. Some pieces were smaller than the others. It was still good and yummy though. Overall, this is a good ayce sushi spot. It is worth for the price. I love how the fish is fresh and they give less rice for each nigiri piece.

Had a fun, casual lunch date at CHOBOP AYCE Sushi! We went with the Premium menu, and there were so many options to choose from! We started with the seaweed salad and yakitori, which were both tasty and made great appetizers. As nigiri lovers, we were excited to try all the different selections. My favorites were definitely the toro and yellowtail, and the uni was sweet and delicious! One thing I really appreciated was the fish-to-rice ratio. The nigiri had a small amount of rice, so you could really enjoy the fish without feeling too full too quickly. The fresh rolls were also yummy, with a good amount of fish and nicely balanced seasoning. Overall, it's a great spot if you're looking for good AYCE sushi at a great price. The staff were also super kind and friendly, which made the experience even more enjoyable! What we ordered: -Seaweed Salad -Yakitori -Nigiri (tuna, toro, salmon, salmon belly, sweet shrimp, scallop, yellowtail, albacore, uni, salmon egg) -Pepper Me Crazy (in: spicy tuna, cucumber, top: yellowtail, jalapeno, sauce: mustard, hot sauce) -Salmon In & Out (in: spicy salmon, cucumber, jalapeno, top: salmon, jalapeno, sauce: spicy mustard, hot sauce) -Kaboom (in: spicy tuna, cucumber, jalapenos, top: albacore, jalapenos, green onions, sauce: garlic ponzu, hot sauce) -Tuna & Salmon Temaki (hand rolls)

Came by Chobop to try out a new AYCE sushi place, since I had heard good things about this place before it became AYCE. We came for a late lunch and were seated promptly. The menu is a QR code, with the same ordering style as X-fish (through phone for non-nigiri items). Nigiri ordering was with pen/paper with some specialty items with limited order quantities per person. The rice ratio was great for AYCE - the smallest nub of rice for a regular slice of fish. There were several options for salmon, which is what I typically come for - including salmon belly, torched, cajun torched, etc. The torched salmon was just a bit over-torched so it was basically half-cooked salmon. Quality of fish was decent, but some flavors or toppings (carpaccio, torched, garlic on edamame, etc) fell short compared to other similar spots. They did have a wider selection of non-nigiri items available to order though.

I came a few weeks ago for the lunch and got the classic menu ayce The staff was really nice and welcoming. The food was quite fresh and I loved how they come with less rice It's a nice affordable ayce option & would come again if it wasn't so far from me

I wanted to update my review since they changed their name and menu. Chobop is a sushi spot that offers and AYCE and al la carte menu. I came in for lunch during the weekday with one other person and we got seated right away. It was busy but not crazy. They ask you right away what type of menu you prefer. For AYCE they had the classic or premium option. The premium had more items such has eel and mussels. We went with their classic. I found their sushi to be of good quality for the price. We enjoyed their salmon and yellowtail nigiri which both tasted fatty. I liked that they had no rice rolls which were all good. I also liked that they came out as 4 rolls instead of the 8 that you normally get. The classic menu also included ramen. We got their spicy ramen which was good but I hated that it had a ridiculous amount of ramen noodles in there. I ate half the noodles and it felt never ending. They even had ice cream at the end (matcha and vanilla). Service was excellent. They kept checking on us. I did hate that they forgot some of our items on our first round. I think you get 3 rounds and you can order through them or mark the paper. The inside is very large and great for small or large groups. For value and option I thought this was a great spot compared to their competitions.

A friend took us out here as a treat and boy was it a treat! I've been saying "I need to find a go to sushi place" and I think I finally have. CHOBOP is an all you can eat sushi place with very affordable prices. They are flexible in that not everyone needs to order all you can eat sushi place - we had someone just order a few things à la carte. There were so many options with appetizers, handrolls, baked rolls, fried rolls, and sashimi. The waiter was super friendly and even handed out a free appetizer/dessert. General ambiance is casual and cozy.

We had a group of 5 and everyone left happy and voted to return. Good quality proteins, small amounts of rice on nigiri, $40 AYCE includes carpaccio, nigiri and rolls. Rolls can also be ordered in half size (4 piece) to try new things. Separate menu for appetizers also included in AYCE price. Friendly service team from host - server - busser. Clean establishment, large space keeps wait times low or none. Free parking in large lot, ADA accessible. We will return and recommend to family/friends. Our new spot.

Sometimes not everything on social media is true. Advertised as a new place to try out, videos were pleasing. Then I see here on Yelp that this place was just rebranded. My only favorite was the mussels. Sushi and sashimi did not seem fresh. Thicker cuts, but was kind of cold for me. I think the flavor is there. The concept of each rolls is there. It's just it's not fresh..... Service was nice. Their drinks were gigantic haha! I like that one. Place looked old. Had their own parking space. A plus! Ambiance was ok. Looked rugged for me.

I kept seeing Chobop circulating on social media as this new premium AYCE sushi spot with good quality and fast service, so obviously I eventually had to see for myself. I invited a couple friends and made them come right when they opened so we could properly attack this menu lol. There are different tiers, and we went with **Premium** because that's where you get the nigiri, carpaccio, sashimi and some of the higher-end items. Some premium items like bluefin toro, uni and sweet shrimp are limited to one per person, but there's still A LOT you can order. And we ordered a lot. We tried the tuna, salmon, yellowtail, albacore and octopus carpaccios. They were okay across the board. Nothing bad, but none of them really stood out either. The menu can be a little confusing. Some things are ordered through the QR code, miso soup you have to ask for separately, and there are a bunch of rules and different sections to figure out. I did appreciate that some rolls are available as four pieces instead of committing to eight. I'm not a huge roll person anyway, and the rolls were probably one of the weaker parts for me. My nostalgic order is always a Philly roll because I love cream cheese, and there was barely any cream cheese in it. They also use mustard-based sauces on several things, and as someone who HATES mustard... why are we doing this? Where I'd focus next time is the **nigiri and simpler items**. We tried a ton of those along with salmon belly, baked mussels, crispy tuna, udon, miso and more. The salmon belly was way fattier and larger than I expected -- more like an actual grilled belly portion than sushi -- so ordering three was definitely our mistake. We were cutting fat off trying to survive by the end lol. One thing I wish they did better was tell us what they were dropping off. We ordered so much that when plates started coming out, we couldn't always tell what was what. Service itself was attentive, but food came out at an interesting pace. We'd think we were almost done and then suddenly another wave would appear. Afterward I calculated what everything would've cost à la carte, and **we absolutely got our money's worth** with Premium. Would I come back? Probably. I'd order completely differently now that I understand the menu -- less experimenting with all the sauced items and rolls, and more stacking up the nigiri and things I actually liked. There's definitely value here; you just have to learn how to work the menu.

Jess E.

Tried this AYCE sushi place since it was promoted on TikTok. They have an extensive selection of nigiri and rolls which is nice as well as premium options if you're paying the dinner/premium price. The seared salmon was my favorite and the toro. Service was a little slow but it was on the busy side, so understandable. Plenty of parking outside. Definitely would come back if hungry and craving sushi!

Stopped by around 7:30 PM on a Sunday and had a great experience. There was no wait to be seated,…read moreand the restaurant has a small parking lot with enough spaces available during our visit. Soft music played in the background, and the traditional Japanese decor gave the restaurant a warm, relaxing feel. Our server was friendly and respectful, and the food came out quickly and hot. We ordered the Pork Loin Katsu Curry and the Cheese Pork Katsu. The pork loin was cooked really well, with a crispy, golden crust and a tender, juicy interior. The curry was flavorful and comforting without being spicy, making it an easy choice if you prefer a milder Japanese curry. The Cheese Pork Katsu was also excellent. The melted cheese added a creamy richness that complemented the crispy pork well. Both meals also came with miso soup, which had a clean flavor, and a side of shredded lettuce with dressing that helped lighten up the richness of the fried dishes. Overall, everything was prepared well, the service was great, and the restaurant had a welcoming atmosphere. If you're looking for a reliable spot for Japanese curry and katsu, I'd definitely recommend it and would happily come back again.

9/27 -- 2:30 Takeout Order…read more I placed a takeout order and specifically requested extra salad dressing on the side, which I was willing to pay extra for. When I picked up my order, I even asked if the dressing was included, and I was told that they had put it in the bag. When I got home, however, there was only one dressing included. I called the restaurant to ask about it, and the employee told me that a regular takeout order does not come with dressing. If that is truly the case, does that mean the restaurant expects takeout customers to eat the cabbage without any dressing, while dine-in customers receive dressing with their meal? More importantly, if dressing is not included with takeout orders, the customer should be notified when placing or picking up the order--especially when the customer specifically asked for extra dressing and even confirmed it at pickup. I should not have to find out after getting home. On top of that, the katsu sauce container was only half-filled, despite being a 2-ounce sauce cup. Seriously? Even worse, I found a hair coming out of the sauce container, which is extremely concerning from a food hygiene standpoint. What made the experience even worse was the way my concern was handled over the phone. If you are working in customer service and someone calls with a legitimate question or complaint, there is no reason to be rude or dismissive. This was by far the worst customer experience I've had at Kagura. There were only two tables occupied when I visited, yet the restaurant couldn't even properly handle a simple takeout order. Very disappointing. The manager or owner should seriously consider providing additional hospitality and customer-service training to the lady staff. Regardless of whether there was a misunderstanding with the order, speaking disrespectfully to a customer is not an appropriate way to handle a complaint.

We politely thanked her, but she didn't acknowledge us or say anything in return. She simply walked away. We were also a little confused about how the menu worked because there was a separate piece of paper on the side. We tried to get another employee's attention to ask a few questions, but even though she looked directly at us, she completely ignored us and didn't offer any assistance.
