5th Ave Sushi

"Bottom line: This restaurant is not ideal for picky kids and those who seek a quality dining experience without feeling ripped off due to the 18% mandatory tip and "additional" tips. ----------- I visited this restaurant yesterday for dinner with my family. The owner lady said that there would be an additional 18% service charge even though we were 4 (previously they did this for a company of 5 or more guests. Now they seem to be applying the rule to any number of diners). We were super hungry and didn't want to hop over to another sushi restaurant. So, we stayed there for the all-you-can-eat option. The menu was a bit disappointing because they removed the free sashimi option that is available when ordering rolls, and some appetizer options (calamar rings, shrimp tempura, etc. - these are what my kids like to eat, but I guess they got rid of them to save money. Given that they charge $15 for each kid between 3 and 9 for all-you-can-eat, I don't think this is great at all.). Sushi rolls were okay although rolls had a bit thick layer of rice. However, there was only one server, the owner lady and she was somehow busy looking into some kinds of documets while we were dining. The first batch order was pretty quick, but for the second and third orders, she almost forgot us. For the second, I had to walk to the sushi man to order more rolls and for the third, she didn't even notice that I placed a ordering sheet on the table and in a while she took it. At the time when I received the bill I got super aggravated by the fact that I was charged 18% for the terrible service and that the bill was asking me to put "additional tips". The bottom line is that this restaurant is not ideal for picky kids and those who seek a quality dining experience. I will never go to this restaurant from now on. Hopefully those who read this review won't make a mistake of using this restaurant. They are a ton of other sushi all-you-can-eat restaurants than this awful one."

"DO NOT GO HERE. If you like expensive sushi that tastes like dish soap, rude waitresses, and to be forced to pay and 18% tip, this restaurant if perfect for you. Not only that, but you can also get bad service by a waitress that doesn't check on you during the meal. Near the end of the meal, I asked if I could send one of the sushis back one because it was nasty, and she refused. Since when does a restaurant not allow you to send back food you don't want or going to eat? Then, as I was going to leave when I noticed that they added their own 18% tip which I told them was unacceptable. The waitress removed it from the check but she tried holding onto my card until I gave her $10 or wrote her a tip on the receipt. She was in my personal space and followed me to the door. She tried to tell me that I shouldn't eat there if I can't afford it but I just can't afford her discusting attitude. This was after I already payed. But really don't go here, the crab Rangoon is sour and I've never had a bad Philadelphia roll till now. I have nightmares about this place. DON'T GO HERE."

"Ordered sushi, a Volcano roll, which is a specialty roll. So today, I get it and I’ve ordered this same roll 20 times. And this is what I received. The cucumber was not existent. And anyone who eats sushi knows a roll that’s filled with all rice isn’t good sushi. So when I called they insisted it’s the same thing. When I I’m telling them it isn’t. I’m not paying 16$ a roll to get a roll that’s made like their 7$ rolls. Never have I ever had 2 rolls and then still be hungry. You tell me what you guys think. Roll has spicy shrimp and cucumber inside. Tell me if you see that cucumber. And on top is suppose to be crab, yellow tail, salmon and spicy mayo. No spicy mayo and no cucumber. I’d avoid if you like sushi."

"Ordered takeout on a day that they were having a 50% off sale on select items for ordering online. Turned out to be a great deal for a last minute lunch! Love the crunch they throw into the spicy tuna roll. Also enjoyed their udon soup, first place in a while that I've ordered udon from who got the broth taste just right. Not the most fancy, but not low quality either! Just the right quality for a quick sushi order :)"

"This place rocks. $25 all you can eat? Sold. Great service, great food, will be coming again!"
