This review shall be titled 'Irony.'
I've been to Sushi Time several times and I'm always pleased. Good sushi, everything is fresh, and the price is hard to beat (though most all you can eat sushi places match the price). If you're worried about getting your money's worth order five Filet Mignon rolls and call it a day.
I like their sushi. A lot of the rolls taste pretty similar, but that is likely because I am a little picky and tend to stick to crab, tuna, white tail, and salmon rolls. I've never had anything here taste off, or wrong, and though they don't ever tell you which roll is which it gets a little confusing at times.
I very much enjoyed the Crazy Monkey roll, which was topped with fried banana and wasabi cream. Very strange, one of the more unique rolls I've had. I also recommend the Angry Bird and the Pink Lady. Stick with the 'specialy' rolls for a more interesting meal. Everyone makes California, Spicy Tuna, shrimp temp, and peanut avocado rolls. The reason I try new sushi places is for the interesting combinations they have made.
The service was fine. Took a while to get our waters and first course (edamame and Udon soup), but after that everything came out very quickly. We even got some extra food delivered we didn't order (more on that below). My main problem with Sushi Time and all All-you-can-eat sushi places I've tried is the wasteful ordering process.
If I were to ever open my own sushi restaurant I would handle ordering differently. Here they give you the two slips of paper with their rolls and other items on it and you take the pen and make, what? Three marks on it? You then give it in and they take it, make your order, and throw out the paper. Such a huge waste! At my sushi restaurant, I would print the menus once per table on 4x6 paper, put the paper into cheap plastic picture frames, and give everyone a dry erase marker. You can still change the menu as often as you like and only have to print one copy of the menu per table instead of ~10 per customer! Despite what my last name would suggest, I am not the most green conscious person, but this bothers even me a bit. It's not just Sushi Time that does this, either.
Anyway, on to the irony: Many of the reviews here claim that their orders were not completely filled, meanwhile we wound up with servers coming and dropping off food we didn't order to our table! It was odd, and once we got their attention, they took the food to the proper table (worrisome, as they didn't know for sure that we didn't touch it [we didn't], but I digress).
TL;DR: Good sushi, decent service, wasteful ordering process.
Pro-tip: There's a pennysaver coupon for $1-off per person. It's not much, but hey, money back in your pocket. Go buy yourself something nice. read more
