“ Food is good, got the premium bundle. However I would recommend picking your own instead of getting the preset items in what the bundle comes in. The food is delicious however my personal preference on what kind of sushi I would’ve liked to eat differed from the bundle. It came with some mango roll which was fine but far from what I was looking for. I thought I was saving money from buying the bundle but tbh it’s all the same. Sushi pizza was the star of the show if I’m being honest. Also for how much you’re spending, I find it strange that you have to pick up your food instead of them walking over to serve it to you. First world problems I know but when you’re spending 70 to 80 on sushi they could at least just bring it to your table. This isn’t exactly McDonald’s we’re looking at here and yet they have an option to bring your food at your table when you’re ordering through the mobile app. ”
“ This is a place that gets it. Generous food portions. Reasonable and efficient service. Clean washrooms and dining area. Fun board games for friends or for dates. You can even work or study here. The design of the space is thoughtfully planned—a mix of modern, rustic, and greenery which makes it a conducive environment for studying or getting some work done. It’s usually quiet as well when I go here. Honestly, I’ve been to Hawaii, and I can confidently say their poke bowls are as close as it gets. I love this place and cannot recommend it enough! ”
