    The sushi here is pretty good. They have a great special of bogo. It's a perfect place to get something while waiting for your movie or an after treat.

    Side B is new creation by BJ

    John and DJ offer unique creations. Johns secret garden has most lemon Ive ever experienced on sushi. Very light! Delightful! The Og Bri with out lemon. All excellent! Enjoy!

    Flying fish roe...salty little pops....Delicious.

    Great place for good fast sushi. It is not a restaurant, just a 14 seat sushi counter. The service is prompt, servers are friendly. They offer an all you can eat menu, stay away from that! Order off their Al la cart menu, it is so much better. The coconut lemongrass sake is worth trying.

    Don Won's

    I personally love the ocean and hubby goes for LuLu every time. DJ, our host always serves up the best. Ask for the Don Won's. Sushi nachos made with wontons. Levi is always on top of the drinks and outside dining area. When you come here, get in early as the few seats they have fill up fast. Then you wait for round 2.

    Absolutely phenomenal sushi come try it it's the best

    Loved our sushi chef, funny engaging and accurate. I've been to tomo down the street and this place has the best hands down. Tomo always gets my orders wrong. Which is surprising being in a casino, but the fish was super fresh. This is coming from someone who can not stand the smell of salmon cooking, no matter how fresh. Also, our chef was very kind and let me modify a couple rolls, which was super nice and he remembered all the modifications to a que! Which never happens and I normally just pick off things once I get the roll. Always feels like a waste. Also, nice touches to the presentation as well as the flavor profiles. Rolls to highlight were the Godzilla, normally I can't do cooked yellow tail or raw, but my friend order this roll and the fish must have been super fresh cause I love it. Also the fandango roll was fabulous! Loved the lotus chips and the rice paper. Another one to note was the avalanche, the presentation looked like a little mountain with crab lava. The only thing I was a little meh about was there wasn't very many scallop options, and the tempura shrimp wasn't all the hot, which again is a kitchen issue, not really the sushi places.

    Great food. The guys were great. Just a little weird that it's located at a walk up bar inside of a casino. Try the nachos!!!

    Sushi chefs slower than dirt. If the guy spent half as much time making rolls as he did talking we'd be ok.

    Sumi Sushi sliding back into my top sushi set after a recent visit with the family forced me to…read morefocus on the raw, fish forward offerings that were simultaneously free of anything fried, which led to some significant sushi discoveries! First off, nigiri. These are HUGE and they come with a sizable slab of sashimi cut fish on top too. Pro-tip is to order less than you think you'll eat, because the size is sure to surprise and they will fill you up quickly. Don't sleep on the specialty nigiri here OR he Scallop Supreme appetizer, which is seared scallop sashimi! Second, sticking with the size matters theme, the hand rolls. Spicy salmon, spicy scallop and scallop OG are all stellar, and you will be blown away by the amount of seafood stacked in these when they arrive. One is easily an entire maki roll worth of filling and you will be stoked when you sink your teeth in. I definitely ordered at least two spicy salmon hand rolls and should have had a third. Third, massive maki, perfectly proportioned and portioned for sharing. Do yourself a favor and order the Pink Fire with spicy yellowtail seared with togarashi, sesame oil, salt & pepper wrapped in soy paper, then topped with seared tuna, yummy sauce, teriyaki, ponzu, green onions, chili flakes, & sesame seeds. The Double Down is another winner with salmon, tuna, yellowtail on the inside, then topped with salmon, tuna, yellowtail, tobiko, avocado. FOURTH, don't skip dessert! Can you say house-made ice cream?? I can and I'd say it two or three times here if they'd let me. This stuff is SERIOUSLY good. Desserts are not an afterthought here and you need to save room. FIFTH, last but 100% the most important and not least, SERVICE IS STELLAR! Yes. They are on it. They love what they serve. They're a solid team and this place wins as a result! Take the short drive to excellent sushi!

On a previous visit, I was seated in the back of the restaurant, which I was fine with at first, until I realized that's also where staff eat. One employee sat down near me on his break and was loudly eating with his mouth open, shoveling food in with his chopsticks right in my line of sight. It was uncomfortable and honestly pretty gross, to the point that I asked to move tables. On my most recent visit, the service was again disappointing. After my drink was dropped off, my server basically disappeared -- no check‑ins, no options offered, and it took a long time to get anyone's attention for simple things like refills or the check, even though it wasn't that busy. The sushi itself is fine and the prices are reasonable, but between being seated next to an employee loudly eating his break meal and the consistently inattentive service, it's hard to relax and feel like a valued customer. With other sushi options in the area, I'd rather go somewhere that feels a bit more professional and attentive.

I've been the many AYCE restaurants, and this spot takes to cake for the quality and quantity they give. Each roll doesn't look/ taste rushed. The nigiri was fresh and were large cuts! The Hamachi (Yellowtail Nigiri) was my favorite, I ordered it every round. My only warning/ complaint is that service gets a little slow, and had us waiting for our next round of orders for around 10+ mins. We could see our orders waiting on the bar for a while after the servers finish chit chatting amongst themselves. It gets busy around 5-6pm just like any dinner rush, so be prepared to wait a little bit if you plan to go around this time. We only waited 10mins. Nonetheless, for an AYCE restaurant, the sushi is amazing and offer unique rolls. I highly recommend this place if you're staying nearby or specifically looking for AYCE.

We were the only people in the restaurant when we arrived, and the host who seated us didn't say a word to us, so it felt a bit awkward from the start. Most of the staff seemed to be hanging out in the back corner of the restaurant, and it took a while before we were actually waited on. That said, the sushi was definitely the highlight. I ordered the King Roll and the Wild Steady Ride, and both were delicious. The quality of the food alone is honestly enough that I'd come back again, I'd probably just do takeout next time instead of dining in.
