The variety of sushi they have here is incredible. It was approximately 30 specialty roles at minimum which was not the norm in most places. The sushi tasted so fresh I literally felt like I inhaled it and it was gone. The chicken teriyaki however was a little rubbery in texture although it seemed it was cooked through. The flavor of the teriyaki was great so I'm hoping this was a one off situation. Overall a great visit and I will be back when in town to try more of their speciality rolls.

My original plan was to get some food from near there, but what I had intended to get was totally sold out for some reason. I don't know what's going on with that place, but that's something I will revisit later. This place came up in my Yelp search and I thought the idea of sushi would be a light and refreshing meal. When I walked in I was surprised by how big it was, despite being more of a grab and go type situation. But it was cool to see that they also had bowls and plenty of desserts! The sushi trays were varying prices, mainly depending on the kind of sushi it was. I got the Tuna Lovers sushi for $11, a BBQ chicken bao for $6, and I couldn't help but grab cheesecake! It was two slices (one black sesame, one green tea) for $5. This was surprisingly high quality. It's set up almost like those markets you see in rest stops or at airports, but everything was really good! They also have dumplings and a few other items that are cooked to order, so there is more to them that meets the eye. You can either get a speedy snack or dine in. The staff are also very sweet and offered to heat my bao as soon as he realized I was going to buy it. I didn't even have to pay first. I will most definitely be back!

Everyone was delighted with their selection. The sushi tasted wonderfully fresh, and the rice was tender--not hard or dried out, as premade sushi can sometimes be. The manager or owner was exceptionally kind and friendly and clearly wanted us to have a great experience. Before we ordered, she even offered us a complimentary taste of a shrimp roll. There was an impressive selection at various price points, along with bao buns and steamed or fried dumplings prepared to order. They also carried Japanese beverages and intriguing desserts, including matcha cheesecake. Fresh food, generous hospitality, and plenty of interesting choices made Speedy Snack Sushi a delightful find.

Like why is this okay and even necessary?!? We did arrive to the place a little closer to closing but my niece really likes this place and recommended it to us. So we shot here as soon as we were finished with her move-in. The waiter was kind initially and handle our orders quite quickly. When trying to gain her attention towards the middle of our dinning, she completely ignored us and wouldn't even loon our way. I guess this was her way of letting us know that the kitchen and bar was closed. It wasn't until one of us got up out of our seats and approached her to ask for napkins and one last beverage. I get the fact that they were closing but in place of ignoring it would been kind for her to just let us know that the kitchen and bar is now closed and they were not taking any additional orders. This is why I think the mandatory tipping is unfair because no matter the service, you gotta tip and pretty nice amount. With that, my next visit I will be packing lunches to eat in place of dinning out during my next visit.

We tried the beef pot stickers and chicken yakitori. Both were fine, but nothing special. You get what you pay for, I suppose. Not a bad snack to munch on while you have a drink. The drinks were still a little pricey for happy hour, but they were decent. I ordered the Tokyo Drive, which was surprisingly strong, so I appreciated that. My fiance got the Hachiko, which he enjoyed as well. Overall, it was an okay experience. The food didn't really stand out, but the drinks were enjoyable. Service was friendly but felt rushed. The place is small and you sit very very close to others dining there.

The fish quality is also good, especially their salmon! No fishy smells or taste.

A/C was nice and cool which I appreciated but found the place to be too loud for me once it filled out with more people. Service is courteous. I ordered the tomato salad and two sushi rolls. Yes I committed the sin of ordering just sushi at a kaiseki restaurant, gasp! So I guess I did this to myself since I found the food to be just ok. The spicy tuna roll was just not happening since all they did was drizzle hot sauce over the roll. I've been noticing this more at places, can we just say tuna roll with spicy dipping sauce instead? It's a bit misleading... but I guess I'll have to make sure to ask everywhere whenever I order spicy tuna. I am a believer in that if you're eating at a good restaurant and you ordered their less popular menu item that it should still be good but in this case, Ko didn't deliver. Anyways, I didn't have much of an appetite because of the hot weather so take this review with a grain of salt but I don't plan on returning unless someone can convince me otherwise and if I do, I'm not ordering sushi here.
