Overall I was decently surprised at the quality as the price was not too expensive, but not super cheap as well. The fish did taste fresh and I really enjoyed the texture of the salmon and yellowtail. However, I did find that they packed in quite a bit of rice in the nigiri and the rolls which makes you full faster. I got the unagi hand roll as well and I noticed there was not much eel, but the give you quite a bit of avocado. I went when they opened at 5 and there wasn't a wait, but they had quite a few customers in already and when we left the place was full. read more

Had the Alaska roll and Vegetable Udon. Both were well prepared and tasty. Service was friendly and efficient. Ambiance was nice and restaurant was clean. read more

This was the spot! During undergrad; failed a midterm, pass a midterm, or even ace a midterm this was the spot to TREAT YO SELF! Even with the pandemic impacting it because it is such a compact spot their buffet is on hiatus still but I love their rolls. They care what they serve. I can not wait for their buffet to come back, but this was the spot in Davis for me to enjoy sushi. read more

I have been here a few times, the last time i was here was this past Saturday. When we went in, there were tables but they werent together, so they asked someone that just sat down to move so they could sit us. So that was really nice. Also, it's always the same dudes who work there, and their services really aint so bad! They make sure to quickly come get your order when you look like you are about done and the chefs are SUPER fast. Sushi - we all know that the sushi is aight. But honestly it's ~$14 for AYCE, that's pretty amazing even for someone (me) that has lived in a city infested with AYCE places (Reno, NV). I mean just order like 20 orders of salmon and there you get your money worth. Okay i also really like that their rolls are always half, so you don't have to worry as much about over-ordering! Another thing I have to mention is the fried mussels. I eat like 239487239 of them whenever I go. Highly recommend for mussel fans. Lastly, I had a vegetarian friend who came with us. She was actually happy that she had about 4-5 options. So that's also a plus. I feel kinda conflicted on how much I want to rate them here. I used to think that yeah you pay for what you get so I am totally fine with the mediocre sushi. However, their prices keep going up even though their quality isn't... But I guess I will still give them a 4 star for their all around quality. Because for this kind of value, I would come back again :) read more

This is an amazing place for all-you-can-eat sushi. I love the variety of specialty roll and appetizer and desert options. Good service, with friendly waiters. It's an unexpected location, pleasantly surprising me when I stepped inside. My favorite things there was a Unagi Handroll and the Lion King roll. All in all, a great place, except for the location. read more

Great sushi at great prices! We love grabbing their 3 rolls or 4 rolls discount. They also have a good all you can eat menu.

Sushi buffets are a double edged sword. On one hand, you can try every type of roll or menu item without much worry, but on the other hand, the sushi quality isn't as good and you don't really savor or really find the type of sushi that's memorable. Nami sushi is another sushi buffet style in Davis that charges about $18 for all you can eat sushi, appetizers, and desserts for about $18 a person with a few items costing an additional fee, mostly drinks and mochi. The place is small with about seating for about 40-50 total people including the bar. There's one television and runners who constantly check on the table to see if there are any orders to be placed. I was unfamilar with eating at buffet-style sushi place, and my girlfriend suggested we order multiple items at once to ensure we weren't waiting too long. There weren't too many rolls that became my favorite, but to me, the nigri, rainbow, and 49er roll were the best. Keep in mind, we continually made a list of the numbers we wanted, and kept checking them off as we looked the menu. We also ordered some chicken katsu, gyoza, miso soup, and fried oysters, all at no additional cost. I would stay away from any of the rolls that contained deep fried items or cream cheese; they just weren't too good and after a while, they all started to taste very similar. The quality of the fish was good, but many of the menu items will come with lots of rice, and depending on the type of roll ordered, the size and portions will vary. For $18 per person, I was very impressed with the service and sheer number of different types of menu items we could order. They also already add on a 15% gratuity to your bill. I think it's a very fair price especially considering how much we were able to eat. The donuts at the end were pretty good too; but I would definitely rather eat here for lunch where the price drops down to around $13. read more

I was really looking forward to trying this place based off some of the reviews and although I'm not 100% let down, I am a little disappointed. Would I be back? Maybe but it wouldn't be my first choice. Pros: -free drinks with all you can eat -the rolls comes in 4 pieces which is nice because you can try more of their rolls -their deep fried davis roll was really good. Most deep fried rolls are super filling/dense and this one was light! The batter was really thin and it was cooked perfectly. -friendly/attentive service -clean Cons: -their miso is bland -their albacore wasn't that fresh -their raw fish in general wasn't that fresh (I tried their salmon, albacore, unagi, and tuna...I've definitely had better) -sea weed salad tasted dried up/old And although I don't want to list this as a "con" I would like to mention that this isn't the most convenient location without a car. Even though it's only 1.5-2 miles from downtown, I couldn't imagine walking here and saw no bus stops near by. Bottom line, all of Davis's all you can eat sushi establishments are meh, you just gotta pick the one that's least meh for you. read more

Mediocre sushi for what it's worth... As a visitor from be SF/SJ area, I heard great things about Davis sushi buffets but I think the hype was too high. I prefer the other restaurants like Fuji sushi in downtown or raku in Sacramento! let's start by saying the serving speed in four pieces at a time... That's really slow. The seafood were fresh and the variety of rolls were somewhat there... I personally liked the dynamite or nami rolls the best. Appetizers were meh... There are barely desert options. No sashimi or anything. If you want sashimi and hamachi without rice, Go to Fuji sushi!! Hands down worth. Also come to San Jose kenzo sushi too.. Overall an aight place but nothing too special... read more

Best sushi place in Davis! Prices are similar to Davis Sushi Buffet & Fuji's. $12.95 lunch and $17.95 dinner. Parking in a plaza, no problem; no traffic like in downtown Davis. The birthday girl got a free piece of green tea ice cream mochi. No sashimi for dinner, but the nigiri was satisfying. Free soda for the grand opening. Customer service was very friendly and easygoing. They came by frequently to refill our waters and take more orders. The rolls tasted delicious! Rolls and fish tasted fresh. I usually don't have reaction when I eat something very good, but after I ate that first piece of the Lion King roll, my eyes opened up and I just HAD to have more! I ate a lot of different rolls, but I didn't know what a lot of them were, because with a party of 9, we chose an option of ordering 3 boats of sushi with extras. Yes, they gave us 3 nice dragon boats loaded with a variety of sushi and some miscellaneous dishes here and there. This called for everyone's snapchat! I was satisfied with most of them, but a few rolls were quite heavy, deep fried with a lot of rice/cream cheese/mayo (This stuff was really filling). Overall 5/5. This would be my go-to sushi place in Davis from now on! read more

A friend of ours recommended this place to us and said it was one of his favourite sushi places and it was an all you can eat. So hubs and I decided to come here one weekend for lunch but we've also been here for dinner. We got here a little early before they had open up for lunch so we end up waiting a little for them to be ready for lunch. When they finally did open we were greeted by a server and we asked to sit at the bar. We were greeted by the sushi chefs and then we had our drink orders taken. Lunch was $12.95 and had 29 different rolls, 15 nigiri sushis, 4 maki sushi rolls, 9 appetizers and 3 desserts. We ordered a hamachi salmon & masago nigiri. For rolls we ordered #3 Alaska Roll, #5 spicy tuna no cucumber roll, #8 phoenix roll (salmon & avocado), #11 red dragon (df shrimp, salmon, avocado & masago), #16 sunrise roll (df shrimp, spicy tuna, onion & masago), and #25 deep fries davis roll (tuna, spicy crab meat & jalapeño), chicken katsu,and a order of mxed tempura (5pcs). Service was amazing and they were very attentive to us ensuring that we always had a drink full. So it wasn't bad for AYCE at lunch. We came for dinner it was a different menu from the lunch. For the dinner menu they had 69 rolls, 6 temaki sushi (handrolls), 15 nigiri sushis, 9 appetizers , 4 maki sushi, and 3 desserts. We ordered #2 Hawaii roll (tuna, avocado, masago), #8 phoenix roll (salmon & avocado), 23. Deep Fried Volcano roll (spicy tuna, cream cheese), 59. Spicy Scallop roll (spicy crab meat, mango, asparagus, spicy scallop, black masago), 60. Salmon Lover roll (salmon, avocado,heart shape salmon and onion), 67. Salmon Skin roll (salmon skin, cucumber, & radish), 68. Honey Walnut roll (deep fried shrimp, walnut & avacado), 71. California handroll (crab meat & avocado), 75. Spicy Tuna handroll (spicy tuna, cucumber & lettuce), Gyoza, Masago, Salmon & Albacore Nigri. It was different service at dinner, I felt we had to have to keep asking to place a order and or even get our drinks refilled. And for the price of $17.95 and no sashimi and charged us for tea as well. They were missing items in the rolls or didn't make it as it was listed on the menu, the rice had too much vinegar and the ratio from protein to rice was too much rice in my opinion. Lunch was the better of the two services, I just wouldn't do dinner there again when there are other choices in daivs. read more

Nami Sushi rocks! WAY BETTER than Enju Sushi, sorry, but not sorry. They also have a wonderful non-buffet menu which is great if you don't feel like paying $13 or $20 for buffet. Before arriving, I called to confirm if they have a non-buffet menu, and luckily they did! Upon arrival, I had asked for their non-buffet/regular menu, but our waitress was quite confused, but no worries, another waitress overheard and got us our menus. They have the typical bento boxes, sushi combos, chirashi bowls, and noodles on the menu. I ordered the Pork Katsu Bento Box and my friend ordered the 3 Sushi Combo (Lion King, Dragon, and Yakitori). Their salad dressing was so tasty! Different than other bento box salads I've had. The pork katsu tasted really fresh and yummy. The sushi combo had the right portion and I enjoyed the different variety and options of the rolls. Waitresses and sushi chefs were very friendly and overall service was great. Would definitely make this my main sushi restaurant in Davis! PS. You get free edamame if you're ordering off the regular menu! read more

My brother goes to UC Davis, so we came to Nami Sushi after cleaning his apartment. We came here around 1 o'clock and got the AYCE for $12.95. When we got here there were only 2 other parties, so the place was pretty empty. The sushi came out really quick, probably within 2-3 minutes. Pros: -Quick and friendly service -Extremely cheap -Decent variety of food -They don't overstuff the rice for the nigiris Cons: -The sushi is pretty warm... -The place is also warm (No Air Conditioning) Our first round of sushi was really nice and pretty, but once the place got 3-4 more parties we noticed our sushi getting pretty sloppy. read more

Nami Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Davis, California

Went here for the lunch buffet on a weekday. I was so happy the sushi! everything was fresh and delicious, but what really impressed me was how careful the plating was. Every dish was like a pretty little present. My favorites were the Volcano roll, the Veggie C roll, and the Lion King. The staff was very friendly and eager to please. The rolls are made fresh for you so they take a bit longer, but it is so worth the wait. Definitely found my new favorite sushi buffet! They are still having their Grand Opening so there were free fountain drinks included in the buffet, I have no idea how much longer that will last though. For those of you that remember Sushi Nobu, Nami is in the same location. read more

Nami Sushi - Deep fried ono tuna roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Davis, California

When I'm craving endless amounts of sushi and do not want to make the drive to Sac for it, Nami's is the place to go! Nami's is located deep in East Davis near the police station and University Village apartments. The restaurant itself, is pretty small and sometimes there's a wait Friday-Sunday evenings. I can see why since dinner is only $18! My eyes honestly sparkle when I see salmon nigiri. Some of my favorite rolls that I order are the 49er, Nami and the Red Dragon! I love any roll that has salmon in it. It isn't the freshest fish, but it has decent quality compared to the other AYCE sushi places in Davis. For dessert, order the fried donuts and bananas! The donuts are super fluffy and the bananas aren't packed with dough. Both are generously sugared. Also, if you have a huge group, they also offer the boat for you! Where you can basically order it all at the same time so your group doesn't starve waiting on itty, bitty plates of food. read more

Nami Sushi - Titanic and I forgot the name of the other one. But so cute! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Davis, California

Good price for All You Can Eat Sushi. Lots of menu items. Can select up to 5 items at any given time per person. Lots of rice in rolls and on nigiri. Noticed as the restaurant got busier the sushi slices got smaller and the tuna tasted off (like it wasn't being kept in refrigeration). *Recommend finding a sushi restaurant in town and buying 2 real rolls rather than the AYCE rolls. read more

Came here for AYCE dinner ($17.95) and left quite satisfied. The sushi here is higher quality than Fuji or Davis sushi buffet, and is still decently priced for an AYCE sushi dinner. Their rolls come with 4 pieces, which is nice because it allows you to try different rolls. You get multiple rounds with a limit of 5 orders per person per round. Since I came with my housemates, we each got different rolls to try, which included Alaska, Wasabi Salmon, Wasabi Hamachi, Ginza, Salmon Lover, Tiger, Capitol, Crazy, Sunrise, and Lion King, along with sake (salmon), albacore and hamachi nigiri. We also had their edamame, wakame (seaweed salad), and miso soup, which were all tasty. I'm a salmon girl, so my favorites were the Alaska, Salmon Lover, and sake nigiri. The salmon melted in my mouth and did not disappoint. The other rolls in my opinion were just meh. I was hoping for more of a seared flavor on the Ginza roll, which includes seared tuna. The rolls also have more rice than I would like on my rolls, so it fills you up faster. Save room for their donut! It is fresh, unique, and not like the regular sugar coated donuts you get at the donut shop. The first time I came here, I was too full to try but I'm glad I saved a bit of space this time. Customer service was alright. At the end, we felt a little rushed because our waiter gave us our check shortly after our last round came out and asked if we were done. And then a second waiter came by after we paid and asked if we paid yet.. Luckily for them we were about done... But what if we weren't? Overall, it was a solid meal. Left satisfied and would come back if I'm ever thinking about ayce sushi again and I don't want to drive to sac. read more

Another Chinese owned Japanese AYCE buffet in Davis (to list the others in case you aren't aware are Fuji, Jusco, Davis Sushi Buffet, and Raku in West Sac). Nami is opened fairly recently and heard it either replaced or a remodel. Three of us came here for lunch during a weekday and it was fairly quiet but as we sat and ate, more people entered. Majority seem like business folks dining during their lunch break. The two sushi "chefs" were speaking Cantonese, so that's how I know its Chinese owned. The place isn't that big but it can certainly accommodate a big party if you arrive early. It mimics Raku, but no sashimi palette included at all! They make their money on getting you full of rice. Overall, it was decent. I would come back. But honestly, there's an overabundance of sushi buffets in Davis... :O! Lunch AYCE sushi $12.95. $0.50 tea, $1.50 soda read more

Giving Nami a 5/5 because this is the best AYCE Sushi place you can find in Davis. I prefer Nami over that of Fuji, Davis, or Jusco. If you've ever been to Sac and tried Raku, this is what Nami reminds me of. Unfortunately for all you shashimi lovers, Nami does not offer Shashimi, but lucky for you, they do have nigiri! Nami's is located on the East side of Davis. IF you have no way of getting there, you can take the A line to get there. Otherwise, you just drive straight down Russel and it'll be in a plaza on your left side. The servers are really attentive when it's not crazy packed. Nami's has been gaining popularity, now that they're more established. The sushi quality is great! The rice isn't drenched in vinegar, so it tastes good and you don't get sick of it. I love getting the Unagi Nigiri ,the unagi pieces are generously big and the unagi to rice proportion is just right. Most places stuff you with rice, but not Nami. They the real MVP and they the real homies. I come here to satisfy all my sushi cravings because, ya Nami?!?! Haha get it? Ya naahh mean?! yah yah? okay. I'm done. read more

I love this sushi place in Davis! Even if it is a bit on the pricier side, it is worth it! Ive gotten to know some of the staff their from going a couple of times and some even know what I like to order which warms my heart. I love their deep fried banana and donuts for desert. I legit have eaten so much once that I almost had to throw up . Once you start ordering you can't stop . You end up getting roll after roll, deep fried bananas after deep fried bananas. Sometimes they can forget to bring some of the rolls you've asked for and have to keep reminding them (because of all the other customers) but most of the time they're on it . Definitely a place to go if you're in town ! read more

For being a sushi buffet in Davis, not bad not bad. + THE SERVICE I rarely talk about the service of a restaurant before I talk about my meal but I make an exception for Nami because of how nice they were. My friend and I came in at 2:20 PM (their lunch closing time was 2:30 PM) hoping we could still squeeze in a spot to grab a late lunch. Without hesitation, they welcomed us in and even though everyone was on break, the staff serviced us. The guy who helped us out was super patient with us. He constantly came back to check up on us and informed us when the kitchen was going to close. + THE SUSHI I loved the sushi here! It's so much better than any of the other sushi buffets in Davis (Fuji's Sushi Buffet and Davis Sushi Buffet). You order the sushi you want off of a menu so there's not as much of a waste than having a sushi boat float around for hours. Everything is made fresh and to order. Their portion sizes are way small, with 4 -ish small rolls per order, so that you can try a a lot of different rolls. I loved their dragon roll the most because it had the perfect proportion of salmon, avocado, fried tempura, and rice. Their lion king roll is pretty awesome too as the baked salmon melts into your mouth along with the sauce and rice. The only thing I can really complain about is that they don't have just sashimi! They have nigiri rolls but the rice can get pretty filling. +/- THE PRICES I can't reallllly complain because this is an AYCE buffet. Coming here for lunch for $14 is okay but $20 for dinner might shy me away from coming here so often (broke college student here!) You kind of get your money's worth if you come here hungry and eat a lot, but if you're not, you should probably skip this for now. - OTHERS Kind of random but the water here tasted absolutely horrible! Davis water has always been terrible but I guess Nami really needs to filter out their water better!! read more

Nami Sushi - Assorted rolls - Sushi Bars Near Me - Davis, California

Hands down best AYCE sushi place in Davis. This is the closest that you'll get to Raku's in West Sac. The main things I always get are the Green Dragon(tempura/avocado roll), Lion King(grilled salmon roll), gyoza, edamame, whatever nigiri and the donuts. The Lion King is especially delicious because unlike most rolls, it's made hot and is smothered with a creamy sauce which I have no idea at what it is. The raw fish they have is satisfying. I say this because I've never tried non-AYCE sashimi so I'm not sure how the real deal tastes like. But I'm definitely happy enough with their selections. They have all the same choices for lunch and dinner with the costs coming out to total ~15 and 24 respectively. It's not bad if you think about how one roll at normal Japanese restaurants is already like 8 bucks. 5 for gyoza, edamame and donuts because lets be real, I come here mainly for those. read more

Davis has about 3 sushi buffets including this one. I would rate Nami as #2 out of the 3 because of their options and service. The place is a lot smaller than I thought since it is a buffet but then again so are the other sushi buffets in Davis. Options: There's quite a lot of choices and most of them reminds me a lot of the choices that Raku (sushi buffet in Sac) offers. They have the special sushi, hand rolls, and 3 options for dessert (donut, sesame ball, and fried banana). My favorite would be the spicy scallop. I also liked how they put it all on a big platter if you order a lot. It saves quite a lot of table space :). But it gets hard to remember which is which. Service: Our server was decent in terms of speed and friendliness. Given that the place was somewhat packed, it took awhile for us to be greeted and seated. None of our orders were wrong though so kudos to her (we also had a table of 6)! Overall this place is decent to eat your weight in sushi so I would come again if I have a hankering for sushi. The price for sushi buffet was a total of $17.65 each (w/o tips and tax). read more

Cheapest AYCE sushi around. You definitely get your $$$ worth. It's a great spot for broke college students. The sushi is pretty good quality considered, its tasty, and I can't always count on its consistency. The staff always seems like they're in a rush and/or stressed out, which is expected. It doesn't bother me because they do make sure to get your food out quickly. It's not someone I would take on a first date or bring my parents, but it a good go-to to fulfill your sushi fix with friends. Definitely popular! read more

I've been at Davis for 10 years and I started out with the original Davis Fujis. My friends in undergrad and I were the type to wait almost an hour outside Fujis...time has passed...Speaking from experience, NAMI SUSHI tops all the other sushi places in town as of right now. Reasons why: 1. fresher rice 2. fresher fish 3. more compact flavors 4. generous size nigiris 5. best fish, octopus, unagi nigirs in town The only downside is that they do not have sashimi on the AYCE menu, but the pros make up for it :) Lunch at Nami Sushi is worth the price ($12.95)!! Dinner has also been great given a bigger selection, but I think lunch is definitely worth it since I mostly go for the nigiris. Been back several times already and the service has gone from average to above average. Food comes to your table at a very decent pace. I'll be bringing my friends to Nami if they crave sushi buffet. read more

This is by far the worst sushi I've ever eaten. My sister and I came in for all you can eat intending to get loads of sashimi. Went in to try it, and the first thing you notice is the smell, smells terrible inside. We got 1 roll that had four pieces called the Titanic. Rolls were thin and the tuna tasted very odd. After that bite we decided there wasn't anything else we wanted so we started ordering sashimi; however, they only offered nigiri.. we told them we wanted to just pay for what we ate and they said we'd have to order another half.. we did and it tasted worse than the tuna. This one was just salmon and cucumber and we only had one piece each. When he gave us the bill it cost 12 bucks. We mentioned the discount for cash and he said it was only for all you can eat. Honestly, worse 12 bucks I've ever spent. Grocery store sushi is by far better than that. I spent 12 dollars on a 5 minute experience. The waiter would not give us any sort of sympathy when it was very clear we were displeased. If you want all you can eat at the same price, go to Davis Sushi. My sister and I went after and it was 100x better with way more to offer. Wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.. won't ever come back. Lesson learned, stay away. read more

Not bad, also not so amazing. The rolls were pretty small and most have a fried component. It would be nice to see more fresh rolls. You can also get maki or nigiri, seaweed salad, sunomono, etc (very small amounts). For $13.99 total for lunch it's a good deal. Everything was fresh, but not the most exciting sushi. The waiters were running around in a crazy frenzy, they def need more staff (yet have help wanted sign up in the window now). read more

Awful. Food wise that is. I came here wanting to try a new sushi buffet in Davis but their rolls are no better than Juscos. Overall really disappointed. Everything tasted pretty mediocre, nothing impressive or super delicious, and I guess I was just expecting more from reading the reviews here. The tonkatsu was also just the worst. Also, they serve their sesame balls so hot my tongue was actually burned by it. Not sure if that's even legally proper. Make sure you're careful when eating those! But hey, service was good at least. Our server was friendly and the food came out really fast, so there was no wait at least. Still, won't be coming back; I'll just keep getting my super mediocre sushi in downtown. read more

Say yes to Nami Sushi! This place is quite small so make sure to try to beat the rush during dinner time. However, the way they place the tables make the area look bigger. There sushi selection is great and is almost like Raku's in west sac. I personally enjoy the 49er roll, deep davis fried (I might have butchered the name) and more. The wait for the sushi did not take that long and the waiters here are very understanding and pleasant. Only thing that bothered me was that I asked to have one roll without the sauce and they kept forgetting to not put the sauce on the damn roll. The price here is fairly cheaper than other downtown davis sushi buffets and I would definitely be coming back here. Knowing that their rolls are very similar to Raku's. I rather choose here! P.S Coming here earlier for dinner will make your experience 10x better. Since it's less busy, you get your food ASAP and have don't have to worry about the wait. Also the Asian servers were nice to look at bahahaha. But actually.. read more

For an all you can eat sushi place, the price for dinner is pretty nice compared to the others here in Davis. The area was a little strange to me because the lot was pretty much empty during dinner time. What I found refreshing was hearing Cantonese behind the counter. I don't know if it's just me, but it makes me happy to hear a familiar sound... reminds me of my family restaurant. The service was really fast and courteous. The servers seem to be fairly new, so I didn't expect them to know the menu 100%. Our server recommended the spicy scallop and I loved it. One thing I did notice though was that there were a lot of rice on the rolls, thicker than I would usually see them at the other AYCE places. I kind of wish there were some more sashimi plates but at least they have them on rolls rather than just nigiri. As for the place itself, it gave a really casual feel but what made me feel most at home was seeing a wad of napkin wedged under a table leg to steady the table. Oh Chinatown, I miss you. read more

As far as sushi buffets go, Nami is okay if compared to places in Sac or the bay. But if you compare it to the other places in Davis, Nami is without a doubt the best place for AYCE sushi in town. The raw fish (mainly salmon) here is the freshest out of all the sushi buffets in Davis. I usually order a bunch of the sake nigiri to fill me up (and get my money's worth haha). I wish they had sashimi here but unfortunately they only have nigiri :( It's hard to eat all the rice that comes with it but I also feel bad for wasting it. I don't think they charge you for wasted food unless you leave a ridiculous amount. The rolls here are mediocre. They're basically a bunch of different variations of very similar ingredients. The seaweed salad is yummy and the sesame balls for dessert are pretty good as well! The servers are friendly and they usually check up on you regularly to ask if you want to order more food, but if it's busy they forget so you just have to call them over. read more

Lettuce begin. I thought $13 for unlimited sushi was a great deal so I had to go check it out! This price is cheap if you want sushi. But I do had some problems when I was there. For example the rice was failing apart (barely lifted up the sushi from the plate), there was a powder texture on the raw fish, and the service was a bit busy (the place was packed and there was only one server). Even with the problems, I thought the server tried her best to make everyone happy, their edamame was delicious, and the price was affordable for an all you can eat! Looking for a cheap sushi place around Davis for lunch? Then ill recommend this place! Peace Out Girl Scouts. read more

Solid ayce sushi. Stopped by this weekend based on generally positive yelp reviews. Placed is pretty small so crowded at lunch but the wait for three was about 15 minutes. Not bad by any means. If you're part of a larger group, be prepared to wait a while or be split into separate groups. For $13.99, I can't complain. It's not great sushi and yes, the rice portions are on the larger side, but what do folks expect when it's the same price as a single roll at the nicer sushi places. I'd stop by again if in Davis and had a sushi craving. read more

This place is amazing, the service is superb, and the all-you-can-eat sushi deal is real! Definitely go hungry because you won't be able to resist trying more and more. Soup, drinks, and desserts are all included in the 17$ flat rate, plus sushi of course! They were very accommodating and helpful in offering suggestions, I will definitely go here again as soon as possible. Bonus: Big TVs on the wall if there's a game to watch read more
