Richmond Japanese Sushi

Based on other reviews, I went here with high hopes but unfortunately the sushi quality was subpar. Thankfully, other items on the menu were more around the quality and taste you’d expect. For the all you can eat lunch menu, the price is actually better than you can get most places. There is no sashimi included in the lunch menu which is completely fair given the price. Service is reasonable and the atmosphere is fine for a lunch or dinner out with friends/family. Maybe it was just an off experience for me, but if the sushi quality increased to even average, this restaurant would be more than worth experiencing.

Friend and I came here excited to eat lots of sushi but boy, we were in for a surprise. We ordered a few rolls for round 1, around 35, and were presented with half of what we wrote down. They notified us 40 minutes before closing time that they had no more food written down for us. We let them know what we were missing from round 1 and specified that we did not order round 2 yet but would like that. Prior to this, the sheet that had our orders on disappeared after the staff took it. The rest of our round 1 food came fairly quickly and we asked to order round 2, in which the server declared that we said we did not want round 2. We mentioned that we did not mean that and wanted 6 more rolls to try. She walked over to a coworker and quite loudly talked to them about us in a condescending way. My friend and I both speak Cantonese so we understood every word they said, which made us uncomfortable and we just wanted to leave. Experience aside, the food quality is what you pay for. The hand cones barely have any filling but is stuffed with rice. Food comes quick so that's one upside. There are 3 stalls and 3 sinks in the women's washroom, yet only 1 sink worked. Although my fault for not checking beforehand, I had used a stall that had a broken lock. It did not hold and I had to do my business while holding onto the door for dear life, in fear that somebody would walk in and see me hunched over the toilet. Overall, I would not recommend visiting.

Very kind and attentive service for AYCE sushi. Quite an expansive menu with over 100 menu items to choose from for all you can eat. You literally get a bit of everything from hand rolls, most types of sashimi, udon, tempuras, short ribs, and even grilled beef tongue. I highly recommend the SWEET YAM STRIP. It's like a fried mochi with the best texture (a combo of Chinese long donut flavour and mochi texture) Impressed with the quality given that it's all you can eat. Much better than the average AYCE sushi joint but then again, not the finest made sushi either, but hey, it's all you can eat and still comparable to some sushi restaurants. They don't give fillers or rice bricks to fill you up here, it's the real deal. Around 40 bucks gets you the full comprehensive menu and soda pop was only $1.25 a can which is pretty good for restaurant drink prices. Would come back.
