Gift Tips

  • Try the all-you-can-eat sushi if you want the best value and a chance to sample a wide range of rolls and sashimi.
  • Go during lunch for a lower price point and a solid option if you want sushi without committing to the dinner menu.
  • Ask about the tablet ordering system so you can place smaller rounds of food and pace the meal more easily.
  • Save room for dessert and check what is included with the AYCE menu, since options like ice cream may be available.
  • If you like a few non-sushi items too, consider the appetizers and tempura for extra variety at the table.
