    I will be reporting this place to the Niagara Region Public Health. With so many recent violations (last inspection had 3 violations on Nov 21st, 2017 which I learned after the fact) and after my experience in this place I don't understand how they are not shut down. If you like the taste of moldy food, head to this place. We ended up in this place by mistake, as we were driving to a different sushi place that has a much higher rating, but when I saw this place, we ended up going there, as I assumed it was the one we were driving to. There was no one else here, but us, but it's not a high season, so it didn't surprise me. I ordered edamame beans from their all-you-can eat menu and shrimp tempura, while my 10-year old ordered a rainbow roll. We both got green teas. When edamame beans arrived, they didn't look that great, but okay. After a few okay ones, I got one that tasted of mold. I thought my taste buds were off, so I ate another few, only to come upon another one that tasted of mold. I let the server know that the beans were moldy and he took it back without any apologies or saying anything. After the spring rolls, shrimp tempura and the rainbow roll arrived, we proceeded to eat those. The server brought the new portion of edamame beans to replace the one I sent back. I ate a couple of those, only to taste a moldy one AGAIN! This time I expressed my concerns over spoiled food more vocally, only for the server to take the beans away and trying one himself, telling me it tasted okay to him. At this point I was really ticked off; however what happened next showed me this place has zero knowledge about how to treat customers or how to make a terrible experience a little bit less terribleβ€” The server brought out the package of frozen edamame beans, showing me the beans, telling me that they are good. First of all, the beans in that package all had burner freeze on them, second of all, they did not look good. Third of all, was the server trying to tell me that I was wrong when I told him his food was moldy and should not have been served? We got up to leave, even though we had a couple of items ordered from the AYCE menu. And at this point, the server, instead of trying to make out terrible experience a bit less terrible made it 10 times worse, by giving me the full! bill for1 full adult sushi buffet($19.99), 1 full kid buffet for my 10-year old ($9.99) and 1 full bill for my 2-year old ($9.99), which all came to $ 39.99. I was stunned. I tried to argue that I did not have to pay for this terrible experience - yes, I was asking for the food to be comped, because after eating moldy beans, i felt only this would make it a less terrible experience. The server was adamant for me to pay, so I agreed to pay for the rainbow roll and the appetizers that we ate. Well, the bill came to $ 32.99 - $14.50 for the roll, $5.00 for two green teas and $9+ for the order of spring roll and shrimp tempura. Yes, I felt entitled to have those foods comped, only because the last thing I expect when I go out to eat is to eat spoiled and moldy food.

    Misleading price for All you can eat. They will charge you extra service charge according to the owner because supposedly all over Niagara falls they charge 18% for more than 8 people. As you can see there were 5 people and 2 children. If you don't end up seeing the service charge and give a tip then you will end up paying even more. For below par food with small servings. Very disappointed will not be coming back here ever again. And instead of the $15.99 he charged us $30 per adult and $15 for 2 children. $5 for a pot of cold green tea. What a RIP off. I should have checked the reviews first. And another thing that should have tipped us off was that the place was completely empty at lunch. Should have been a dead give away. Despite being completely empty service was slow due to the owner being the only server and when I asked for the menu to order more he wanted to rush us out to have desert. I do not recommend this place at all!!!

    By far the most horrible sushi place. Order all you can eat sushi, end up costing $40 for the wife and I. $20 for my two children. Honestly the food here was horrible sushi taste sour the samon smell fishy. The portion was a joke, not worth the money. We were at this restaurant for at least 1 1/2 hour most of time waiting for our food and service. The worst of it all is they weren't even busy! We arrive at 11am and left at 12:30. Anyways I don't recommend anyone eating here unless you enjoy siting down and killing time watching the owner and his workers walking around. You are better off eating at McDonald's spending less money and taste better than this place.

    Absolutely love this place! Came here with my son and got ourselves a large sushi platter! The sushi was fresh and delicious, and a fantastic price for so much food! The service was amazing to add, this family run restaurant is a warm and welcoming place! Definitely a wonderful restaurant if you're looking for some sushi! We hope to be back again when we return to the Niagara area!

    Tourist trap. If you want authentic Korean BBQ or food, turn around and go elsewhere. The food was overpriced and lacked flavor.

    Avoid this restaurant. They have poor customer service, and their food tastes so bad... I placed an order for pick up, but when I returned and checked, one order was missing. I tried to find the restaurant number, but their number was nowhere to be found. I will never go to this restaurant again...

    We had a great time with an 'all you can eat' option here. Servings are small but you can order many plates, which we did. All great tasting quality food! Service is reasonably fast and staff is friendly. Liked this place a lot.

    Listen up! Had a $14.50 meal of rice and beef. Plus, ( as appetizer) soy soup and Ginger Ale for $4.50 more. It was all fine and worth the money. Service for the main course was a little slow but there were many others dining there. These people are just running a restaurant they are not your loved ones, people. Nothing more to be said.

    I had the Bulgogi and my cousin had the Udon Noodles it was delicious and the service was great!

    Tables are sticky. Ordered udon soup with shrimp. It only came with one shrimp. Reheated. Probably fried a few days ago. Not worth it at any situation. Avoid and save yourselves the frustration.

    We went here after a morning fast. We were in Niagara for the waterpark and our sons 3rd birthday- service was good but the food wasnt worth the price. I did enjoy some of the sushi and found the meso soups seaweed to be way too fishy. Their dynamite rolls are okay too. They should focus on one type of food that way it may be better but for an all you can eat style resturant- it was alright. We may try them again.
