I give this restaurant 3 stars mainly due to the cost of lunch, not because of the food or service. Both the food and service deserve a full 5 stars, but the weekday lunch buffet price is $27.61 per person, which feels quite steep. It’s been a while since my last lunch visit, and the first thing I noticed was the lack of a line to get in, which was unusual. I worried that the lunch buffet might be gone. While the place was busy, it wasn't as packed as it used to be. The food and sushi were just as outstanding as ever, so I suspect that the $27.61 price tag is driving customers away. Unfortunately, I won't be able to return for lunch anytime soon unless the price drops significantly to something more reasonable. $27 for lunch is quite high, even for dinner. Although the food is excellent, that price is just too much for me. I’m sure the price increase is why the restaurant isn't as crowded at lunchtime as it once was. To be clear, aside from the lunch price, everything else truly deserves 5 stars.

**Dining Experience** **Meal Type:** Dinner **Price Range:** $50–$100 **Food Rating:** 5/5 **Service Rating:** 5/5 **Atmosphere Rating:** 4/5 I had a fantastic dining experience. The food was absolutely delightful, earning a perfect score of 5. The service was equally impressive, with attentive and friendly staff who made our evening special. The atmosphere was enjoyable, although it’s slightly less than perfect at 4/5. Overall, it was a wonderful dinner and well worth the price!

Great sushi buffet with affordable price. The space seems a bit small but it's not a big issue. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $30–50
