Came here in a Sun afternoon so we ordered the lunch AYCE ($26). My friend recommended this as it's similar to X-fish back home in California. The first thing that stood out to me was the portion size! I was really happy with the rice to fish ratio. Quality of the fish was decent, I think it's their best for what they can get out in Nevada. 3 stars for food just because it was average. 4 stars though for service. Our server was very friendly and the food came out superrr fast. I think the quickness compromised presentation, but that doesn't really matter to us. Our favorites were shrimp tempura, salmon nigiri, lemon seared salmon nigiri, yuzu yellowtail nigiri, and eel nigiri. We also ordered garlic salmon nigiri, yellowtail nigiri, tuna nigiri, shrimp tempura roll, miso soup, veggie tempura, agedashi tofu, spicy garlic edamame, shishito peppers, and each skewer. The spicy garlic edamame seemed to be dressed in butter/fried with butter, and spiced with chili oil/red pepper flakes. It wasn't my favorite. The skewers were a bit dry or just average tasting. The rice for the roll had a soft texture, not like sushi rice texture which threw me off s bit. Bf really enjoyed the tofu skewers and agedashi tofu as well. For the price point, this is really great sushi, considering the rice to sushi ratio. The service was great too. I would want to try other great food in the area, but I'm glad I was able to try Sakana this time around!
This is one of the top sushi places in Vegas hands down. Located off Maryland and flamingo, right off the strip a few blocks. Such a hidden gem. Every roll was delicious! We went for lunch around 2pm and there was no wait, food came out fast and it was great! Will definitely be back! I would absolutely recommend!
While visiting Vegas recently I brought my husband here for early lunch. My Dad brought me here last time and he comes here for every visit. It looks like a restaurant in a random plaza corner...however, once you enter it is quaint and inviting! You can definitely do All You Can Eat....the selection is vast, the seats fill up fast and the sushi's are wrapped over fish just with minimal rice so you can really taste the fish. The wait staff was attentive even though it got pretty busy and brought our food over as quickly as it was made. Their yakitoris are delicious too and so are their appetizers. I did order an udon....that was a bit too much on the soy sauce side and way too sweet. Last time it was delicious. If in town....definitely give this place a try!
Best ayce in Las Vegas. Everything was lightning fast as soon as we ordered which we appreciated it since we had 3 hungry kids with us. Omar was very attentive and very patient with us. All the nigiri's were great, the nachos with bulgogi were excellent and we finished it off with various desserts that were included. My kids loved the tempura banana ice cream, strawberry mochi, and vanilla ice cream. My wife loved the affogato ice cream. Lots of parking and no wait. We got there around 11am. Chill place to hang out around. I would definitely come back anytime I was in Vegas.
Wonderful experience my first time dining here. I was seated immediately and given my own pitcher of water which was nice, since it was 114f outside. My server was a handsome young man named Omar who was polite and attentive. He explained the menu and let me know everything on it was included in the AYCE. Something's were one per customer. I ordered various sashimi . The soft shell crab, a roll, seaweed salad and some stuffed fried jalapeños with a name, I won't repeat here. But it was all delicious. The quality was great , the flavors were on point, and the speed at which they came were the fastest I've ever experienced anywhere in my life. ! If there was anything at all to criticize, it was the portion sizes of the sushi sashimi. They were some of the smallest I've ever seen. HOWEVER! , it's all you can eat so in this case , you're not losing anything. If anything , you're getting to try more sushi because you don't get full too quickly. I love this place and will go back next time I'm in town.
My family and I dined at Sakana for dinner during our trip to Las Vegas. It was our first time and we had a positive experience all around. Staff were friendly and helpful and the food was great, especially for it being an AYCE spot. Lots of variety and we all left full and happy. Sakana is located in a shopping center off of the Las Vegas strip. It's not too far from the strip, but definitely not walkable. There is free parking shared among the businesses in the shopping center with several spots directly in front of the restaurant. We came in for dinner on a weekday and they were pretty busy. We had a little bit of a wait before someone was able to take our order, but after that initial order, service was attentive and quick. We tried several items off of their menu and everything was tasty. Some distinct favorites included: - Salmon Lover roll - Garlic Salmon nigiri - Seared Lemon Salmon nigiri The yum yum sauce was also...yummy! Fish was fresh and wait time to receive our orders were quick. Sakana has quickly become one of our favorite AYCE sushi spots in Vegas. We would definitely stop by again. A memorable first visit for sure.
Date of Visit: 7/23/26 Time of Visit: 5:20pm While in Vegas with my group of 4 adults and 2 kids, we wanted to try out this highly rated AYCE sushi restaurant that's away from The Strip. We were excited that we did not have to wait for a table since we arrived right near the start of traditional dinner time. After we looked through the menu, we ordered a wide variety of sushi, specialty cut rolls, and carpaccio style fish. The quality of the sushi was not impressive to me and my group. We consider ourselves quite well-versed in the realm of AYCE sushi restaurants because we frequently visit them around the LA/OC area as well as when we visit Las Vegas several times a year. The most common concern my group had about the sushi was the fact that most of the time they were too saucy. In fact, the sauce quite literally overpowered the taste of the fresh fish. On the cut rolls, we also noticed that the rice was on the mushy side, which was likely a byproduct of the extraneous sauce used to drench the rolls with. The biggest kicker came when I ordered the very last item from the menu right before dessert. I ordered one order of Tamago, which is sweet egg on top of sushi rice. Keeping in mind the fact that this sushi is extremely common and is typically served at all sushi restaurants I've ever been to. In the 15+ years of going to a wide variety of sushi restaurants (both a la carte style and AYCE style), I've never ever had WARM tamago! It created confusion on my part when I received the dish onto the table. I took a bite of the egg and it was horrendous. It's an absolute travesty that the egg was served warm. I could easily tell that the egg was simply microwaved because it was dry on the outside. Every other restaurant I've been to, the tamago was served chilled. With everything said and done, the only saving grace for this restaurant was the dessert. The deep fried banana was quite good, and I've would've been much happier and satisfied eating multiple orders of that dessert. I am strongly recommending for this restaurant to institute serious improvements and there's no way they should continue to serve Tamago as a microwaved sushi.
We were very pleased and happy my daughter found this restaurant on Yelp while we were in Vegas! The reviews did not disappoint us or let us down! There was some major construction in the neighborhood, so it took us in circles but we finally arrived! The restaurant is quaint and located in a strip mall. Parking was crazy, and we had quite a few panhandlers walk up to us as we waited outside for our table. The restaurant is smaller but extremely crowded. Many patrons were dining there, and we can understand why. We ordered a variety of dishes, appetizers and desserts. Each one was fresh and had great flavoring! We did not order the AYCE. We ordered several rolls and they were 5/5. The rice was fresh and so was the fish. There were not any aftertaste or seaside smells at all. They didn't overcompensate by drowning the rules in sauces. You can actually taste everything which was very refreshing. The muscles were cooked properly. They were not overcooked or undercooked. They were not too watery like most places. They actually used real missago. The only thing that I would suggest is to maybe spend a little bit more time cleaning the shells. We ordered several appetizers such as the taoyaki, tempura, edamame and a few others. I love the way the temper was nice and crispy on the outside and the shrimp was still tender and fully cooked. The edamame was not watered down and had the right amount of salt. The taiyaki actually had chunks of octopus and not just smush seafood and sauce in the middle. The desserts were okay, we asked for green tea but they gave us something different. The tempora fried ice cream was a little too battered. The service was pretty good even though they were extremely busy. They did come and check on us a couple of times and we did have to wave them down a few times. However they were friendly and definitely did respond to us when we asked for additional items. We definitely do not have any complaints about this restaurant. We will definitely be coming back. We highly recommend it.
Came in planning to grab a seat at the bar... only to find out there isn't one! A couple walked in right after me looking for the same thing, so we all ended up sitting together and making the best of it. We ordered so much food that I completely forgot to take pictures of everything, but that's usually a good sign! The service was excellent, and the speed at which the food and drinks came out was spot on. Everything arrived quickly, and we never felt like we were waiting on anything. There's plenty of parking in the shopping center, which is always a plus. Overall, a great experience, good food, good drinks, and a fun unexpected dining crew. I'd definitely come back!
Sakana Sushi is an okay option if you're on a budget and want to try a variety of different items. They offer an all-you-can-eat option, but the portions are quite small and there are some limitations on what you can order. A few of the dishes also didn't really taste like what I would expect compared to ordering the same items at a more traditional sushi restaurant but, realistically, you get what you pay for. On the positive side, the service was surprisingly quick, friendly, and attentive, which we really appreciated. Overall, it's a decent choice for the price if you're looking for an inexpensive way to sample different sushi and Japanese dishes.
There were lots of options to order, other than just sushi, such as appetizers and skewers. The service was really great, with our server coming over often to make sure we were taken care of. I enjoyed all the different rolls we ordered.
I came here after my bodybuilding show because it was open late and my friend said that it was a sister restaurant of the 888 chains. I was SO excited because I was craving sushi and I also love 888! The nigiri was the only thing I ordered (after learning my lesson not to get rolls from another sushi buffet). It is also the only thing that is really worth it considering the rice to fish ratio is AMAZING. My favorites were the fatty tuna and Uni. The quality of the fish was also top notch and literally nothing was bad. Overall, I would definitely come here again and just get the nigiri. Totally worth your money!
You know, every time we come here, it's always good service. Ron is really nice. We see him all the time we're there. He works really hard & knows what he's doing. This is my fave AYCE spot, especially for lunch, when it's really good prices. Plus, I'm really full for the rest of the day, till maybe a late night eats. Food comes fresh & quick. So yummy!!! I have my favorites & I actually have a list on my phone, so when ordering, I order them all at once & it's comes all at ones too. From there, I'll order other things on the menu if I decide. We first discovered this place when my husband was looking for a AYCE sushi spot when we were living in Vegas. From there, it became a favorite spot, a long with the family Restarants. (Neko etc) Now, that we're back as tourist to Vegas (since we moved back home to California,) we definitely keep this on our list of visiting & also brining friends too. #Sakana

I'll start with what I enjoyed. This is my second time coming here from California. The food was pretty decent the nigiri was the way to go; I really enjoyed the small rice to sashimi ratio. I also really enjoyed their uni and had fried ice cream as a finisher. The first time we came everything was amazing which was what made us come back. The food, the customer service and the price! The only thing that threw me off during this visit was when I tried their oyster and it was honestly not great. Had some kind of giant hard connecting joint on it which I've never seen on oyster before so that was quite strange and gross. During this visit the customer service was mediocre. The guy seemed like he didn't even want to be there. Still tipped him well anyways. We were kind to him and we were never rude or complained (even about the weird oyster). We worked in food service for years and understand what it's like and honestly that was bare minimum. read more

Good vibes. Great service. Amazing quality of fish. First time here and we got our moneys worth for the AYCE. Would definitely come back again if I want to avoid the Spring Mountain chaos. read more
We found Sakana because we were looking for a place that as open late because we flew into Las Vegas late. Sushi is a favorite food genre for us and we ordered the all u can eat option for $33. It's a great option you get plenty of food and options Most of the items were brought fresh after ordered and they were plentiful. Highly recommend this place read more
LOVED THIS PLACE! Tristan and his crew were absolutely friendly and did a fabulous job with service! Food was top notch for the price. The mussels and bulgogi were a universal hit. We loved the sashimi as well! The kids loved the dragon balls, fried rice and udon. The fried rice would give authentic Chinese restaurants a run for their money with the flavor and heat like that straight out of a wok. Food was SUPER QUICK to come out and it all was very fresh. Hip and fun place that we'd go to again, hands down! read more
Sakana All you can eat sushi offers all the classics as well as signature rolls for any sushi lover looking to get good food at great value. Sakana just has one pricing tier structure with lunch being $25.95 or dinner at $33.95. Coming here for dinner on a saturday night this place was filled to the brim with large parties waiting to be seated. Luckily my party of 2 was seated very promptly. Service was great with one staff member taking the order and team of servers delivering the food with lightning speed. When I go to AYCE sushi places my strategy is usually to order the specials that you can only order 1 time as it is generally their signature dishes. At Sakana their specials consisted of carpaccios of salmon, yellowtail and albacore which were pretty good. The slices are thin and the rice is minimal which I was fine with as going to AYCE its usually about volume. The quality of the fish was lacking in flavor and I get it with a price $33.95 its a great deal but none of the dishes really stood out. Most used heavy sauces or toppings to disguise the quality. There are so many rolls they have to offer and its almost impossible to try everyone so you have to be very selective or have to come up with a gameplan when eating at AYCE. Overall it was a positive experience and I can see why it is a popular place with every seat taken and patrons waiting to be seated. Its value cannot be beat with the extensive menu Sakana will have something for everyone. read more

OK, I apologize in advance because I was not able to write down what every picture was because they serve their all you can eat sushi so fast we had so many plates coming in and coming out that I don't even think I took pictures of all of them, they were so delicious. Everything was fresh. The service was amazing. We went for a birthday celebration and they did not disappoint. My ice cream of choice was a Matcha green tea inspired ice cream. Literally, the sushi and the salmon and the spicy tuna everything was so fresh that it literally just melted on your tongue. I can't wait to go back to Vegas so that I can eat here again and it really was a good value for your money. It's a 90 minute sitting and they give you a 60 minute warning and then a 30 minute warning and then they do a last call with you but honestly you're gonna get so full so fast you won't even need the 90 minutes. read more
I love this place so much and it's a must visit when you're in Vegas. The food is great with really fresh ingredients, and I love that the salmon eggs are unlimited. The service is attentive and friendly, though sometimes the kitchen can't quite keep up when it gets busy. The space is clean but a bit small, so it can get pretty loud. read more

Hello Wen, Thank you so much for the awesome review! We're thrilled…
AYCE sushi for just under $35! A short drive from the Strip, in a quiet shopping center was this restaurant completely full with patrons. The wait was less than 30 mins when we arrived around 7pm on a Sunday night. We added our name to the wait list and were sent a text when our table was ready. Once seated, service was fast. The server has a hand held computer, inputting our order, which I assume goes straight to the kitchen. Each dish was brought out within minutes. We were constantly checked in on throughout our meal. Overall, the food was very good. Best sushi I've had...no. But, some different options were available allowing them to standout a bit. They so have some items on the menu that are limited for ayce. Still, food quality was good, service was also good, and price point made it definitely worth the visit. Personally, 4.5* experience read more

This is always a must go to stop whenever I'm in Vegas. Despite being dinner time, We got seated within 5 minutes of arrival. They're quick to take orders and once it's in the iPad system, food starts coming out. We had quite our fill of sushi, pork belly, and salmon. My kids love the miso soup and edamame beans as well! This place always satisfies my Japanese food cravings. They have quite a bit of staff walking around taking out empty plates and bringing out food dishes. read more
Super quick service and great variety on the menu. The rice-to-fish proportion is AMAZING; definitely do not have to worry about filling up on rice. The lunch menu is a great deal and includes most things on the regular menu. The only thing I didn't like was the skewers but honestly everything else being so good made me forget about them. I would definitely come back again! read more
This Local's Favorite! AYCE LUNCH AND ALL DAY Menu. Every single thing we ordered came out fresh, hot and delicious. Dishes were described, if we had questions. I don't eat any raw meats or fish and I was filled to the brim with all the exceptional dishes. Tried a few new things. My favorite is the Tempura veggies and Tempura Shrimp. But so many wonderful things to eat. Very busy place, no reservations taken, but they move everything along quite nicely. Small place with pretty open kitchen to watch these cooks at work. Fine oiled machines!! The only reason we don't go more often is because we have no idea what portion control is. EVERYTHING is SO GOOD. Fried Banana for dessert is so yummy. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! read more

Sakana is absolutely worth the hype. The all-you-can-eat lunch and dinner pricing is very reasonable for the quality and variety you get. The service is excellent, attentive, friendly, and efficient even when it's busy. It's always busy. Everything tastes fresh, with a great rice-to-meat ratio that really sets their sushi apart. Also, they will customize items and substitute items. There are so many options to choose from, in all different sizes, making it perfect for sharing. It's great for groups or date nights alike. The quality and freshness are consistent. It's located in the Target shopping center. Parking can feel limited, but there's actually plenty available, just allow extra time since it gets busy. If you're in a hurry, plan ahead, but trust me, it's completely worth the wait since they do not take reservations. The restaurant is small and cozy, a must! read more

This was a recommended sushi ayce so while we were in Vegas, my sister and I went there for dinner. It is tucked far in the back of a shopping plaza. It was a packed restaurant but no Asians in a sushi restaurant would make you wonder why. We sat down and ordered anyways. Honestly, the cost is very decent $33.99 for sushi AYCE BUT unhappy about the food order restrictions and the quality of the sushi. We can only have one order of All Day Specials, one order of salmon Kama, and skewers each person. They ran out of hamachi Kama at 5:30PM. HOW?! Most of their skewers were okay. The chicken and pork belly skewers were overcooked and dry. I did not enjoy the uni and the raw oysters topped with mango salsa. I wished we were able to order more of the carpaccio and salmon Kama. That's the only few items we did like. My fave was the salmon belly nigiri and green tea ice cream. Honestly, the price is cheap for sushi AYCE but sushi quality and the skewers are not good enough for me to come back and eat here again. read more
Food quality has gone downhill. What happened?? The rice is unseasoned and just plain bland. Are we sure it's sushi rice or just a regular jasmine rice? The saving grace to the meal is probably the one time limited order for the hamachi and salmon carpaccio, the limited one time order of salmon belly nigiri where you get two pieces per person, and probably the hamachi kama. They ran out of uni so that was unfortunate. Very disappointing because sakana used to be the spot I hit up when I'm in town. I'm surprised to see it's still busy, given the horrible downward trend of the food quality. Service was good! Our server was very kind and efficient. read more

Run, don't walk to this amazing sushi joint! We arrived for an early dinner on a Thu night and at 5.30 pm this picture perfect spot was already bustling. Do not let the blacked out exterior windows deter. We entered and were pleasantly surprised by a fresh modern take on traditional decor. We were whisked to an available table and noted the 4 professional sushi chefs behind the counter busily preparing specialized rolls and individual pieces with asswmbly line precision. Service was amazingly professional and super attentiive. Although Sakana is known as an AYCE we knew we were not so hungry so ordered ala carte: Baked Lobster Mexican Roll Jalapeno Bomb x2 Something Wrong A Little Tease Don't Cry Amigo Mango Mochi Hot and Cold Sake Green Tea All the dishes came to the table within mere minutes and the freshly prepared sushi was fresh, amazingly presented and delicious! We were amazed by our experience here but moreover we were surprised by the very reasonable $80 (before tax and tip) for all of our exceptional food and drink as a party of 3! Well done Sakana! Folks,run, don't walk! read more

Tucked in the corner of a strip mall on a busy corner, if you blink, you will miss it. If it wasn't for 2 sets of multiple people milling around the parking lot, I would not have guessed it was busy at all from standing outside. Almost looked like it was closed, save the neon open sign in the corner. Once inside, the hustle and bustle was almost rhythmic and the music was a mix of most genres of popular music. There is a cherry blossom tree in the middle of the room, and booths and tables trying to maximize space, which was pretty tight. One person width aisles with bussers and wait staff jockeying for position and the occasional interruption from a hostess seating more people. AYCE time limit is 1.5 hours, plenty of time to sample their menu. There were appetizers, soups, sushi, nigiri, rolls, handrolls, salads - from cucumber and seaweed to seafood salads - you name it, its there. The cuts of fish were soooooo fresh. Some of, if not the best fish I have had in Vegas. No skimping in the ingredients either- they serve very balanced and generous portions. The fish tasted clean and fresh and none of the rolls we sampled were overpowered by rice. Especially loved the 2 riceless rolls they have (can't recall the names unfortunately); they were 20/20!! The service was fast, and other one small hiccup with one of the food runners... she kept tossing plates on the table and not announcing the dishes she was tossing at us; until my +1 mentioned it to our waitor and he took care of the issue... the rest of the service was great. Our waitor was super nice and never hesitated to stop to talk us through different menu items and made some really awesome suggestions for us to try. Overall service from him was 20/20 - unfortunately, I never got his name so I can't shout him out direct. Anyway - great sushi, busy little spot. Worth the try. P.S. Price was great too! read more
My baby boy wanted AYCE sushi for his birthday dinner. Unfortunately, I was out of town for the day time of his birthday so he decided lunch the day after would be better. I have eaten at Sakana before but he has not, so I knew he would love it. We arrived around noon and there were already people waiting and the place was packed. Since it was just the two of us, we got lucky with a table being open. We sat down and started looking over the menu. It was pretty quick to start our order and get our food. The staff were great, attentive even though food was coming out of the kitchen every minute. I will say this is the BEST AYCE in Vegas! read more

We did the AYCE (all you can eat) for a late dinner and everything was well made. The waitress and other staff checked on us every so often to see if we needed anything or needed to order more items. The ambiance was slightly dim and felt intimate. Perfect for group settings or a solo date! For the AYCE, you will have 90 minutes to order anything on the menu, but of course you should be cautious about ordering too much due to food wastage (you get charge for leftovers I believe). Food orders also came in relatively quick. I would so go here again!! read more
Ambiance: it's a trendy ayce sushi place located in a shared plaza, the parking lot could get full easily, moderate waiting time to get seated and it's worth it, it's quite packed inside, tables and sofa seats are set up back to back Service: their staff members are friendly and efficient, placed the order and cleaned the table adequately, also provided useful suggestions. Although one server made a mistake, she brought the dishes we order to another table, after other guests already checked the food with their used utensils, the server tried to serve the same dishes to our table, I said they've already touched the food, since they sat next to our table and I saw what happened and those dishes were siting in the wrong table for a while, she said she didn't know and placed another order right away. Honestly in professional, health-code-compliant restaurants, a dish served to the wrong table should not be served to another table, if it has already been placed on the table and has left the server's immediate control, and it should be considered contaminated. I believe it's an innocent mistake, but just unprofessional. Food: numerous choices on their menu for appetizers, skewers, nigiri sushi, hand rolls etc. The Shit - **** Chopped Salmon, white fish mixed with crab and deep fried, mixed flavors, recommend Pang - *** Lobster mix, Salmon, Cream Cheese baked on top of garlic bread, average Yakitori - ** very dry chicken Pork Belly - *** average Mini Udon - ** soggy noodles and salty broth Seaweed Salad - *** average Thor Special Hand Roll - *** Spicy Tuna, Spicy Crab, Shrimp Tempura, Jalapeno, Onion, Tomato, Kaiware, Mango 300 Hand Roll - **** Tuna, Salmon, Super White Tuna, Albacore, Ponzu, 300 Sauce, spicy taste, recommend Tuna - *** average Shrimp - ** dry Cajun Tuna - **** Garlic Ponzu, Fried Onion Mackerel - **** Garlic Ponzu Red Snapper - *** Ponzu, Hot Sauce Salmon - *** average Garlic Salmon - **** Garlic Ponzu Fresh Water Eel - *** average Squid - **** chewy Seared Lemon Salmon - **** Ponzu Octopus - *** Lemon Smoked Paprika Salmon - **** Yuzu Surf Clam - *** average Yellowtail - *** average Tamago - ** dry sweet egg Aomori Scallop - *** average Sarada Lobster - ** so so Albacore - *** Garlic Ponzu Salmon Egg - *** ikura Tobiko - **** flying fish roe Super White Tuna - ***** s.o. sauce, fresh and tasty, highly recommend Quail Egg - ***** unique texture, highly recommend Golden Spicy Tuna - * Deep Fried Spicy Tuna, Eel Sauce, Spicy Mayo, super dry and not so fresh No Name Roll - ***** soy paper wrap, In: Eel, Shrimp Tempura, Top: Salmon, Spicy Mayo, Eel Sauce, Crunch, creative and tasty, highly recommend Something Wrong Roll - **** seaweed paper wrap, In: Shrimp Tempura, Soft Shell Crab Top: Tuna, Salmon, White Fish, Garlic Ponzu, spicy and sour, recommend Affogato - *** Vanilla Ice Cream with coffee Deep Fried Banana - ** so so Price: decent quality and affordable prices, expect $35+ for a fulfilling meal read more
Sakana has been one of my go-to spots in Las Vegas for all-you-can-eat sushi. I've gone solo before and I've also brought friends, and every single time, it's been a great experience. What I really appreciate about Sakana is that even though it gets very busy (and it often does), the service stays consistent. They're attentive about coming back to check on you, taking additional orders, and making sure you're continuously taken care of. With AYCE, sometimes you worry about long waits between rounds, but here they do a solid job keeping the food flowing. It's a great place whether you're dining alone and just want to enjoy good sushi at your own pace, or bringing a group of friends who want to try a little bit of everything. The value for the quality and quantity is hard to beat in Vegas. read more

How long is for the waiting line?
From my own experience, we have never had to wait more than 5 minutes
Is there any waitlist and how do I join the waitlist?
There is no wait list without physically going to the restaurant. No app and you can't call to get in line, you have to show up to the hostess. They will then put your name on the list and text you when your table is ready.
What are the prices for lunch and dinner?
$25.95 for lunch $34.95 for dinner.... It is in huge print plain sight on top of the menu.
Does this place have the all you can drink option for $9.99 like sushi neko?
No, it does not.
About lunch AYCE time.. It is 11:00-3:00pm. What does that mean? Do I just need to arrive by 3 pm? or do I have to finish eating by 3 pm?

Same physical menu at both times of day, but there are a couple premium items included in the "All Day" price. (The menu shows which items are only available for the "all day" price. For example, nigiri such as sea urchin, salmon belly, amaebi, etc.…
Why is there an AYCE price and a la carte prices on the menu?
The place is all you can eat, if you don't want to pay the 28.99 forall you can eat you can buy items at regular menu prices.
