First things first, I rarely write Yelp reviews red but this place deserves it. IM SUSHI is such a nice place to go out and eat with your friends. All You Can Eat? That's perfect for a perfect option for growing American teenagers as we consume a TON of food. I've had All You Can Wat sushi restaurants in New York but IM SUSHI surprised me the first time I went. Hugh-quality fish, wonderland flavored appetizers (omg the Chicken Teriyaki), this has now turned into our go-to sushi place.
The place is moderately noisy, but it doesn't affect the experience; it's just enough to notice the friendly and communal atmosphere this place provides. The booths that they provide allow privacy and their ample seating areas invite large groups to come, whether you be a tourist or a local. Out of the number of times that I went, there was always a large group of people there. Last time I went, there was a birthday party going on but our food still arrived in its usual expedience.
The waiters are friendly, and efficient, hurrying here and there to bring food to the customers. One of the waiters (I think the boss), even gave us free ice cream for being regulars and even bothered to remember our names. I talked to one of the Sushi chefs at the Sushi Bar and although his English was limited, like most Asian restaurant staff, he still didn't fail to uphold a conversation while maintaining his usual efficiency. Overall, the employees here are so friendly! If you respect their policy and their rules for the All You Can Eat option, they will treat you with respect and kindness.
The first time I visited, the boss made it clear to me their rules of the All You Can Eat. It's only common sense/moral to not order more than you can eat and that you have to pay for extra. Looking at these reviews, IM SUSHI deserves a lot more than what's being given. Ordering the same thing over and over again? That's nonsensical! If you order the same thing over and over again, you are not being considerate to other customers who order as well. In this places description, the boss explains that there is a set quantity of food made each day. This is to provide the utmost quality in both the fish and appetizers.
Looking at the big picture, I can see this place become an even bigger hotspot in the future for residents of Newport, Middletown, and Portsmouth. Tourists will also be attracted to this wonderful restaurant as it provides ample space and is friendly, and effective in its service. read more
