Problem: again, if it sounds too good to be true, (all you can eat sushi) then it's probably too good to be true (AYCE sushi). so some of you are probably saying, "....he just ate at another AYCE sushi place and was so disappointed, fool you once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me". we've been living in chandler for 3.5 yrs and we've never even heard of this place. lesson learned: never eat at a sushi place that doesn't come with high recommendations from people you have eaten with and trust their palates. there's a semi-rational reason that other places charge $8-$13 a roll. if they charge you that much and the sushi is sucky, then you would be the one making a scene at the cash register. what's the deal w/japanese food being inherently expensive? they sell us great cars and really do it to us on the food. show me a japanese restaurant where you can get out the door for less than $15/head and i'll show you kyoto bowl (see review) for half the price, you can get twice as much food at an authentic chinese restaurant and have a ton of leftovers. but i guess you can't get chinese cooks to cook it in front of you while catching shrimp in their hats. go figure i was amazed that when we went there on a friday night, the place was standing room only (but we were the only people of asian persuasian) . i get the impression that the staff is trying to save money (more tips for the 2 waitresses?) because they seemed to be falling all over each other like keystone cops, wizzing past our tables and avoiding eye contact whenever we needed an extra pair of chopstix, napkins or water refills. am i being the the overly cautious 1st time parent or what? the waitress brings out the scalding hot soup and passes it right over the head of our 1 y/o daughter sitting in her high chair and plops it down within arms reach of her. we quickly move it to the adult who ordered it (brilliant). we were sitting with my friend's 20 or so family members and requested a separate check to ease the confusion. she stuttered and stammered and said that she was not allowed to do that and that we would have to be on the same check (i guess we had to sit at a separate table to get a separate tab?) i could see how 18 on 1 tab and 2 on another would be confusing. my wife ordered the tempura soba noodle soup and said that it was so salty that her tongue is now preserved for life. i ordered the chicken katsu which was decent, but the sauce was almost like biscuits and gravy style sauce. if you're on a budget and just wanna stuff your face with low-grade sushi and walk away full, then this is the place. if you want quality, great tasting sushi, then you'll have to pay the piper. you have been forewarned

Problem: Solid service, good food, stiff drinks, and plenty of sports. Nothing fancy about this place - just a great local place to relax. Someone needs to get some inside pics uploaded... guessing that will be me.

Problem: Just WOW and not in a good way My family of 14 went to Vegas for a few days to take a little vacation before school starts and we ended up getting the 24-hour pass which we used here (but you also have to pay an upgrade fee of $30 for dinner per person). It made sense when we looked at all the pictures on yelp: king crab legs cut in half, crab cakes, korean bbq, peking duck, etc but we got there NOTHING. It was the bare minimum and it didn't even taste all that great. I guess it depends on what day you go but I wish I knew that before we forked over so much money for something we could have gotten at Rio or Planet Hollywood. All of us were 100% disappointed. The only thing that was okay was that the service was fast when clearing out plates.
