Food is only decent because of the price.

I would recommend getting the sashimi only because the sushi rice is poorly done. Do not get the Agedashi tofu, because it is not the silken one as it is meant to be, it wasn't even the typical tofu you get from the asian grocery stores! Somewhat harder and drier...not tasty at all. The beef salad was probably the best dish of the night.

Service was decent given the rush but the ambience was as someone correctly described it, a packed school canteen, I was constantly yelling on top of everyone else.

Overall, I wouldn't say it's worth it for me to drive all to eat there again.

    It was quite hard to get there by public transport, therefore would be most advisable to go only if you have a car. The food was decent for the price paid, especially the sashimi, they were fantastic. However, the gyu don (Beef with rice) was a little disappointing. The rice was soaked in water, almost like porridge and the beef was not fresh. However, the staff were friendly. All in all it was a good experience.

    Re transport you can catch a train to Brighton Beach station and walk up Were Street, a little far though or catch the bus that goes along New Street and get off at Were Street and head east towards Hampton St once again walking.

    Out of the way and non-descript. This place offers lots of food for relatively cheap. There is a feeling of school/church hall about the place, and it's tightly packed. Try anything other than Sushi; which is possibly some of the worst I've sampled.

    Sashimi isn't bad, nor is the rest of the fare.

    Maybe you went on a bad night, because I would say this is the best sushi I have ever had!

    Food was very ordinary, sure there was heaps of it, but no quality.

    Service difficult to get and being squashed in like a sardine was not a pleasant experience. Surely there must be Health and Safety issues with number of people squeezed into small area. Nobody could walk between the tables and food had to be handed from table to table to reach us. Pay more money elsewhere if necessary, or I know better for less, and get away from this chaos!

    Had high expectations after reading some good reviews but didn't really find anything that fantastic about the place. The sushi was pretty poor, didn't exactly taste fresh. Just seemed very western, could of got the same type of food at a food court.

    Beef salad is the best dish I had there. Plenty variation of food are served. The service is good too. The only bad thing from this store is the location is a bit far away from where I live. However after dinner, It will be worth it

    All you can eat for $28 per head, with a variety of delicious dishes. Also includes dessert and fruits. Tempura and beef salad is delicious.
