The word's out! There's an AYCE sushi spot in the neighborhood and it is pretty darn good! My mom and I decided to pop in to try out Nobu's all-you-can-eat menu. Upon first entering, we were warmly welcome by both the staff and the owner. We were sat quickly and handed menus and water right away. The ambience and decor was so cute! I appreciated the brightness in the space, the cutesie umbrellas hanging overhead, and the thoughtful touches all around. Having been to many sushi spots already, we were familiar with the menu offerings and put our order in. For starters, we had ordered the gyoza, shumai, miso soup, seaweed salad, sashimi salad, and vegetable tempura. For our rolls, we started off with the mango roll, the rock and roll, and a deep fried roll with cream cheese and shrimp tempura (I forgot what this one was named). Timing wise, we received our rolls before we had gotten any of our starters, and the nigiri we ordered wasn't brought out to us the first round of ordering, but all was well. I think the waitstaff was still working out some kinks since the restaurant is brand-spanking new :) The starters were all pretty good, with the gyoza, miso soup, and the shumai being our favorite. The tempura was alright. Flavor and crunch wise, it was decent, but temperature wise it was cool. I imagine the veggies had been fried earlier and had been sitting for a few minutes. The rolls we ordered were also pretty good, with the mango roll being our favorite. All around, the food was tasty and we had an enjoyable experience! We will definitely return again and try out some more menu item! I'm so glad that we finally have an AYCE sushi spot in the neighborhood and that we don't have to drive over 45 minutes to get to! read more

Extremely friendly staff. We were greeted instantly and they were nice the entire time. Inside was clean and nicely decorated. Food was okay I enjoyed the Randall Roll very much. The Yummy Yummy Roll was disappointing. The Tiger Roll wasn't bad. Forbidden Roll was decent, and the Volcano Roll was good. The sashimi salad was great, the dressing was awesome. The fried scallops though, I don't think they were actually scallops. The nigiri had a lot of rice and thin fish, which is normal at AYCE, but when it's $32.99 per person there shouldn't be as much rice. read more

I really REALLY wanted to like this place... but honestly the food was basically inedible. The staff were so sweet and I was really hopeful but everything we ordered was either gross or tasted really off. The miso soup was sour, the eel roll was basically mush, the tuna was dry, and all the other fish tasted funny. We eat sushi a lot and I genuinely didn't feel comfortable eating any more after a few pieces. We did take out so I just tossed the rest of my food because I was worried about potentially getting sick. read more

The sushi was really good! The staff is really friendly and kind too! I love this place! The decor is really cute too. read more

We tried this place for the first time and loved it! We almost opted for the all-you-can-eat option but decided to order individual rolls and we're glad we did. The rolls were huge and tasted so fresh and flavorful! The staff were very friendly as well. We will definitely be back! read more

I'm so excited to have a new sushi spot in town, and this one did not disappoint! The restaurant is spotless, beautifully decorated, and has a great layout with plenty of tables, cozy booths, and even bar seating if you prefer a more casual vibe. They offer all-you-can-eat for both lunch and dinner--we tried the lunch special at $24.99 per person, which is an amazing value. The dinner menu includes additional options like hibachi and noodles, which I'm already looking forward to trying next time. The AYCE menu had a ton of variety, from appetizers to specialty rolls and even dessert (yes, fried Oreos!). We ordered a mix to try everything--seaweed salad, crab Rangoon, shumai, and several sushi rolls. The Angel Hair Roll and Sunny Roll were definite standouts and absolutely delicious. Service was great, especially considering they just opened a few weeks ago. You can tell they're still working out a few kinks, and lunch rush seemed a bit overwhelming at times, but our server handled it well and was attentive throughout. Overall, the food quality really impressed me--fresh, flavorful, and worth coming back for. I'll definitely be returning to check out the dinner AYCE menu. Highly recommend giving this new spot a try! read more

The food is great wife had the chicken bento with fried rice. It's outstanding all of it. The salad has a nicely sweetened ginger dressing and the gyoza is flavorfull and crispy. I had the usual spring rolls, tempura veggies and a jalapeno tuna roll. Well I'm stuffed, I couldn't finish it fast enough. The restaurant is spacious well decorated and can handle quite a few patrons without crowding. The staff is helpful and attentive without being intrusive. I believe this our new sushi joint. read more

So friendly. Tasty. Will be coming back. The all you can eat includes most of the menu. read more

Definitely worth a visit if you're craving sushi!. read more

Went here for the first time with my family and this is now my favorite sushi restaurants. Place was super nice and clean. The staff were so friendly and attentive. Got the all you can eat and not a bad thing. I recommend the Oreos for dessert. We will be back for sure. read more

We wanted to check out a new sushi spot, so took a drive to give this place a shot. We were IMMEDIATELY greeted with a smile by I believe the owner. She had such a fun sense of humor and made sure to give some recommendations on her favorite items to try. The all you can eat is definitely worth it if you're wanting to try a bit of everything. The portions are just the right size. The Mexico Fire roll was incredible and the Oreos tempura were unreal. I'd go again just for the service, the food being great is just a bonus. Also, the interior is beautiful and so clean and well maintained. Please go try them out! read more

I went close to grand opening and the price was about right for lunch since it is ayce. I did think the poke bowl was too large which I didn't like. Otherwise fish was fresh and I didnt have any service issues but I also went on a week day for lunch. They did have eel and squid sushi for lunch so for me that is always a plus since those are my favorite, some lunch sushi ayce do not put those on the menu. I don't typically eat rolls so I couldn't tell you how those are. I have videos on my YouTube danielm6340 or on my ig asianprde4ever. read more

The first time we had Nobu it was incredible - so fresh and favorable! I recommended it to anyone who would listen. Unfortunately our latest visit was the polar opposite. The "crunch" on top and inside the rolls we ordered was stale and felt like sawdust in my mouth. My husband also found 3 shrimp tail shells in his food. Very disappointed as we thought we had found our sushi spot. I don't think we'll be returning when the cost was $70+ for bad food. read more

I was really excited for this restaurant and begged my fiance to take me, my mistake. We waited 20 minutes after we were sat before anyone even talked to us or brought us water. After we ordered it was over an hour before we got food. While waiting we started talking to the tables next to us and quickly learned that they had been there for 2-3 hours. While we were waiting the tables around us were full of dirty dishes and everyone looked unhappy. When we got our food it was delicious but realized we got served rolls that were not ours. There were tables around us that had been there half the time and had been served multiple rounds of sushi before we were even served once. I will not be going here again. read more

The place was beautiful on the inside. Very clean and the decorations were stunning. I did a pick up order and they were friendly and efficient. The sushi lunch special was good! I got a salad, 2 chefs rolls and an order of grab Rangoon for a little over $30. Everything was fresh and delicious! I will say though that I can get sushi at Sam's for half the price and just as delicious! read more

Amazing food. The all you can eat is sooo worth it and the rolls are creative and fresh. 10/10 recommend

We are sushi people. We have it every other week or so. Tried Nobu for dinner and LOVED IT! We will definitely be back. AYCE is new to us but it worked out great. Super cute decor. Wife loved the umbrellas on the ceiling. Super clean. Servers were very friendly and attentive. Will return to try the soups and fried rice. Try it. read more

Food was great, staff was friendly, but they will need some time to figure out how to run a restaurant. Prepare for slow service and a bit of uncertainty. But overall it was a good experience and I'm sure we will be back for the great food. Also, the place was clean and they did a great job on the decor. read more
