An AYCE and drink sushi place should theoretically be a decrepit pit or a food safety hazard waiting to happen, and this was neither. For $50 before tax and tip you can choose wine, beer, sake, or sangria and order from a very wide menu of appetizers, rolls, etc. Ordering is done through an iPad and service is quick. Most items came out within a few minutes at most. There are a couple of categories where each person can only order one item, but I didn't find this limiting at all. The sushi isn't great by any means, but it certainly stands up against the other basic placed in nyc, so you can really get your money's worth if you drink and take advantage of the special rolls. Would absolutely return! Very fun!

For the price of $47.20 ($40 for AYCE, non-optional 18% gratuity) , you get a very good deal of AYCE Sushi. They also have an option for $50 AYCE ($59.00 overall) that includes unlimited drinks. The menu was very varied and the sashimi and fish dishes overall were fresh. They even have fried menus, some meat dishes and dessert included in the AYCE. There was not a single piece I ate that felt too fishy. I admit that the price may not seem cheap but for the amount of food you are getting it is definitely worth it. If you can eat more than 24 pieces of sushi, rolls, or sashimi (which is about 3 rolls or 2 nigiri sets of 12 pcs) in a single sitting, this is a good deal (assuming a maki roll cost around $16 per for 8 pieces). That being said, the place is extremely noisy, and is filled with university students and young people. It is NOT a quite restaurant where you can chat in private. I assume that it is quiter on weekdays and when there are fewer university students on campus.

Been wanting to get AYCE sushi for a long time so was super excited to try this place out as one of the only AYCE sushi locations in Manhattan. Came a bit early for dinner on a weekend and was seated immediately which was nice. The way this place works is that they give you an iPad and you just order whatever you want and they get it to your table within 5 minutes. It's all very efficient. I would recommend coming with a bigger party so that you can try more variety of foods. Here are some of my favorite eats: - Crab Legs - Sweet crab legs full of meat, what is there not to like? - Miso Soup - This is a weird thing to like at a AYCE sushi buffet BUT I think this was the palate cleanser I needed in order to continue eating the rest of the sushi. It was nice to get something hot and silky in my system. - Salmon Kama - I was pretty shocked that they had salmon collar on the menu as it is usually a pretty expensive eat. The salmon was very tender although there was a bit more fatty parts than I would've liked. - Tamago Nigiri - This is so lame, but tamago nigiri is definitely my favorite type of nigiri with it's slightly sweet eggy taste perfectly matches the slightly sour rice. - Tuna Tartare - When I first took a bite of this thing, I was kind of shocked because I felt like the sauce went so perfectly with the tuna. However, when I ate this at the end of the meal, I felt a bit like throwing up because the tuna was cut too thick and messily. Would recommend ordering this as one of the first things. What I would not recommend ordering: - Fried Oreos - When you are full, this is the last thing that should be on your list of things to eat as it is incredibly filling. I ate 1/4 of one and I felt like I just ate pure oil. - To be honest, after awhile all the sushi flavors start to mix together and they start to taste very similarly. Definitely need to find a palate cleanser on the menu in order for you to eat more. Overall, great experience where I ate a bit too much. I feel like this is a definitely once a year type of deal as I'm still recovering from the food coma a few days later.

Pretty standard AYCE sushi buffet, and probably the best value sushi you can get in Manhattan (about $40-50 per person pre tax and tip). The food wasn't spectacular, but it's what I expected considering they have a large variety you can choose from. The interior is dimly lit with Japanese art on the walls, and is decently clean. You order off of iPads and have 2 hours to eat sashimi, sushi, hot appetizers, noodles, and desserts ranging from fruits to pastries to mochi ice cream. They also have a weekly specials section where you can order 1 item, and it featured crab legs and milk tea when I went there. I liked the wide selection of special rolls they had. A couple of quality issues though: while the slabs of fish they give are thick, they were messily cut. The crab legs still had a bit of ice on them and the shells were also getting soft. When I ordered mochi ice cream, they just served it in the plastic package that it came in. Nevertheless, the food still tasted pretty good.
