Worst service I've had in years. Over one hour waiting then told the kitchen gave our food to another table.

Great selection of sushi options, everything is frsha and tasty. The cute little train that…read moredelivers special orders is so fun, and the kids love picking things off the line. Cost is reasonable, especially with kids under 12 at half price!

You have the option of choosing between an All-You-Can-Eat (AYCE) menu or ordering à la carte. I'd…read moredefinitely recommend the AYCE experience. We went for the dinner AYCE at $29.99 per person, and kids under 3 eat free. Our toddler (3) and baby, free of costs. But our toddler did have his own meal (chicken nuggies and fries...what a plus!) Keep in mind that some items are included in the per-person price, while others come with an additional charge. For example, the fried ice cream dessert was $1 per serving on top of the AYCE cost. Not a huge deal, but worth noting. Now, onto the revolving sushi belt experience. The bottom belt is full of pre-made sushi, circulating around, while the top belt carries the sushi you've specifically ordered via iPad. This is where a few concerns come in. Since the pre-made sushi is constantly circulating, you don't always know if someone has fiddled with it. As for the iPad ordering system, it was placed up above the top sushi belt, which was a bit of a nuisance. It would have been easier to use if it was within arm's reach, but again, not a major issue. We opted to order items that would take time to prepare and came directly to our table, so we could avoid the pre-made conveyor. The fried ice cream dessert was great, tasty--but the spoon they gave me was dirty and sticky. It honestly felt like it had been used by a kid before being handed to me. Needless to say, I didn't use it. Service was solid. Our server was helpful, especially since it was our first time, and walked us through the process. Overall, it was a decent experience, but there are a few things that could be improved, particularly with cleanliness and the setup of the revolving belts.

Came in on a random weekday and left absolutely stuffed and happy!…read more Ordered the Spicy Shrimp ramen and the Rock and Roll roll, and wow--both were fantastic. The Spicy Shrimp broth had that perfect kick without completely torching your face (I got it "medium" spicy and it was spot-on). Tons of plump shrimp, soft-boiled egg cooked perfectly, and the noodles had great texture. My partner stole half my bowl, so that tells you everything. The Rock and Roll roll was a total highlight--crispy shrimp tempura, avocado, spicy mayo, and that sweet eel sauce drizzle on top... it's basically disappeared in 60 seconds. Super fresh fish, generous portions, and the rice was seasoned just right. Service was quick and friendly, the place is clean, and the vibe is chill but not sleepy. Prices felt totally fair for the quality and amount of food you get. Already planning my next visit--Zen Ramen just became my go-to spot in Gainesville. Highly recommend!

My only regret is that I was on vacation, so I could only eat here once. I could easily take months…read moreto keep going back to try new items each time. So on my visit, I ordered an O.M.G. Sushi burrito that had shrimp. It was outstanding. I also got another sushi roll with tuna that was excellent. Like I said, with more time, I would have liked to try the various ramen dishes, appetizers and everything else.
