I decided to try this place out because of the good reviews people have given this place on Yelp. People talked about how great the food was and how fair the price was for all-you-can-eat sushi; however, my experience with this place was thoroughly disappointing. I gave this place a 2nd star as a benefit of the doubt.. perhaps I just happened to have picked a bad day to eat at this place. First, the service was HORRIBLE. We asked for a table for 3, and instead of simply pulling an extra chair up two a 2-seated table, the waitress sat us at a table for 6, only to have a party of 8 walk in the door a minute after I had started on my soup, so she asked us to move to a different table so they could have our table. This wouldn't have been so bad if it was the only problem we ran into for the night. Next, because the staff was in such a rush to move us, they took my salad away before I was actually finished with it. Not a great way to start my all-you-can-eat experience. Third, when we put in our sushi order, the waitress had to clarify whether we were ordering nigiri per order (2 pieces) or per piece. We specified that we wanted 2 pieces for every number we indicated on the sushi sheet. She nodded and brought our order to the chef. The first half of our order came out fine. We got the number of pieces we asked for, but when the 2nd half of our order came out, the sushi chef decided to interpret our orders as "per piece" so we only received one piece of every sushi ordered on the bottom half of the order sheet. I guess it's no big deal, since we could always order more, but it took us a good 45 minutes just to get all of this order, we didn't know how much longer we'd have to wait to order everything again. The staff was also bad with keeping up with who they had already served soup & salad to and who they have not served yet (I happened to receive mine, but the person who showed up later in our group got nothing), and they were slow at refilling drinks too. It might be because they got busy after the 1st hour we were there, but we wouldn't have dined for 2.5 hours if their service wasn't as slow. Also, the three sushi chefs who were working all disappeared at the same time, and were gone for about 5 minutes. What kind of restaurant leaves the sushi bar completely unattended during the peak dinner hour?!?!?! Aside from the service, the food selection was not great as it did not really include any appetizers, had limited all-you-can-eat sushi selection, and did not include any dessert. We could've driven another 2 minutes down the block to another sushi restaurant that could've provided all the above mentioned items with same quality or even better quality fish than Sushi Kee for the same all-you-can-eat price of $20 per person. As for food quality, it was pretty decent. It is among some of the freshest quality fish I've had in sushi restaurants, but there are definitely plenty of other places that could provide better quality fish as well. The quality of Sushi Kee's fish is not enough to bring be back here again. In summary, I would not go back to eat here knowing that Mido Sushi's only a block away. I also would not recommend any of my friends to eat here either. While the food quality was ok, the service and poor food selection definitely ruined the experience for me. Had the service been better, I wouldn't mind recommending people to this place, but in all honesty, Mido Sushi truly can provide more options, better quality fish, and better service for the same exact price, so why waste time in trying this place out?
