    Fried Hamachi Kama (Salmon Collars)
    Rey M.

    Came back today for the second time this month just to make sure, it is a good AYCE Sushi! I was happy with the service, nice and polite staff. Nice decor on the walls and the place was clean. A place if you wanna surprise someone on their birthday Their seared Salmon was really good, and my wife's favorite was their Rainbow Rolls, Mixed Tempura, and Hamachi Kama.

    We don't go out to AYCE often but decided this time to go and enjoyed our meal there. We felt like the portions and quality were pretty good. For all you can eat, this is a good choice to consider. Service was great and the ambiance is casual with art depicting anime characters eating sushi.

    TL;DR: Cool anime-themed sushi spot with friendly service. Decent quality AYCE for $38 but individual rolls are plenty filling. Arrived with party of 6 at 2pm on Sunday & seated immediately. --Interior Very cool anime decor & posters on the wall. Plenty of tables around for both small & big parties. At the time we arrived, decent amount of people inside. --Service Very energetic & friendly server. Checked on us often to take orders, & the orders themselves came out fairly quickly. AYCE price was about $38 which isn't too bad, but we opted to just order rolls individually. --Food Highlights King Salmon Roll (5/5) I'm a big salmon lover so I ordered the King Salmon, which had no rice & was just salmon sashimi wrapped around imitation crab. Everything you would love in a roll as a salmon fan. Baked Scallops (5/5) Baked to a warm temp with tender scallops packed with a lot of flavor. As for the nigiri, I didn't feel like there was too much rice in the servings which is a plus. For birthdays they also give you a serving of mochi ice cream as the finisher. --Overall Decent spot for sushi with quality fish around the area. Great for both larger parties or for a quick grab & go.

    Awhile ago I wrote that my first attempt to dine at Papafet, which is located on the other side of the building, was closed that day, and my more than acceptable substitution was GIN Sushi. This is my glowing review of that rushed, but pleasurable experience. Over the years I've generally leaned away from AYCE sushi restaurants. There's always a compromise, typically in portion sizes, appearance, menu options, and worse, quality or freshness. Not so here, I'm happy to report. The AYCE price was commiserate with quality, very much so. Perhaps some limitations or limits on certain items but in reality the spectrum of choices, be they nigiri sushi, hand, or cut rolls, I got my money's worth. I had less than an hour for lunch, but the server was great about expediting my order (two rounds), and brought beer and water quickly. A couple of appetizer choices always appeal, namely baked Mussels and gyozas. Both were very good, especially the mussels. The latter were fresh and had a well-made sauce. Two cut rolls are typically all I can eat solo, and both came out well-prepared and garnished to great anesthetics visually. Taste was also fantastic. Was I really at an AYCE place? My final round saw me trying a few favorite sushi options including the tuna (fresh and good texture), the salmon (marbled and fatty), seared salmon, and Hamachi. While I was unable to return during my work in Temecula, I'd gladly return for another meal or three. Well done!

    This was our 1st time here heard from others it was really good. We have tried 2 other places and this by far is the best. Omg it was so good. Will definitely be our new spot. Plus the service was great. It was pretty busy and didnt take long at all. Can't wait to go back! It's a must try for sure.

    Yes they do

    My wife and I heard of this place and might try it soon! Is this place any good?

    One of the best selections in town and priced just right. I love their signature Gin Sushi Roll and will often order their Gin Sushi Deluxe with Spicy Tuna option. The owners and staff are always friendly and attentive.

It was a little hard to find the restaurant, especially since the sign is not right over the entrance, but just next to it where the small market is. Look for the Winchester Center sign next to the market. Since we arrived before it opened on a Sunday, we browsed in the market until it was tine to eat. We had a reservation for 6 of us, so they seated us at the one round table near the front. There is another longer table next to it on the left side where there's a colorful mural. The rest of the tables are booths. The restaurant is spacious and roomy and very clean. You can order items from the menu or build your own hot pot which is AYCE. Everyone in our party chose the hot pot. We were each brought a small blue pot that contained the sterno to heat up the soup and the broth of our choice inside. We also placed our meat order with our server. We went to the back-left corner to grab our veggies, and some other things to add to our hot pot. Our server came by often to take more meat orders, clear empty plates, and check if we needed more broth or if our sterno needed more fuel. Our server was delightfully cheerful and friendly. She was helpful and answered all of our questions, especially when we had to choose our broths. (Forgive me for forgetting your name!) I highly recommend calling ahead to make a reservation if you have a larger party. Accessibility notes: most of the tables are padded booths. If you can transfer and slide, you should be okay. Otherwise, see if you can sit at a table that has chairs on the left side. The restaurant is spacious enough to park your mobility aid (or stroller for babies) near you. The restrooms are located in the back-left corner, 2 single stall restrooms, one for men and one for women. There is enough room for someone to enter with their mobility aid and a helper companion. You can enter the restaurant without climbing a step, but I don't recall where the handicap accessible parking was since we used a regular parking space and I climbed up the curb. No one from the family is local, but my brother-in-law chose this restaurant because it's somewhere where we can meet in the middle. We all loved it, and are adding it to our rotation when we need to come together for a celebration.

The floors were noticeably messy, some might even say gross. There were random spills that clearly had not been wiped up, and even the bathrooms were bad. Should we really be able to see a plunger and a dirty toilet brush while washing our hands? Service-wise, our waitress was nice, but overall it was slow. We waited a long time for our first round of drinks, and when the food finally came out, it was not even hot, which made it even more frustrating. The food itself did not live up to the price. The "tempura" artichoke hearts were basically just heavily breaded and fried, not light or crispy like you would expect or like the menu suggests. The charcuterie board, which was over $50, was kind of shocking. It looked like a random mix of deli meats, basic cheeses, canned fruit, and filler. Nothing felt special or worth the price. It looks amazing, but do not be fooled by what you see around you. You are better off spending $25 at Trader Joe's. The ribeye was wildly underwhelming. If I wanted a steak I could buy at Food 4 Less and grill in the park, I would do it myself. The chicken somehow managed to be even worse, dry and lacking flavor. Lemon and capers, where? Overall, it felt overpriced and poorly executed. Between the cleanliness issues, the long wait, and the disappointing food, it is easy to say it is definitely not worth your time. Check out the Gambling Cowboy instead. This is a no brainer when you read the replies from the owner to any negative feedback. If an establishment feels the need to defend itself in such an unprofessional manner, that tells you everything you need to know about taking your money elsewhere. No ownership, just blame. Nobody is out here writing reviews to ruin your business, you are doing that well enough on your own. "The lady doth protest too much, methinks."

SOOO good! Food is the best! My wife loves shrimp so she can have her shrimp fest. We both love their coconut shrimp with their great mango coconut dipping sauce. My wife loves their coleslaw so always gets that as her side. Best cheddar cheese bisquits - all you can eat to boot! I tried the all you can eat soup & salad and it's a great deal with great food. The salad was fresh, had lots of good toppings & great blue cheese dressing. I got the clam chowder, you could tell was homemade and made in-house. It was so good, I wanted more & more. Ate 2 salads & 2 bowls of chowder (but wanted even more but was too full). Next we want to try their lobster bisque and their crab chowder. We'll be back!
