My favorite small plate here was the chicken karaage, the sauce it came with was sweet and yummy! We ordered a bunch of other foods as well but I think the one I liked the least was the honey shrimps because there was no taste to it. Not to mention, but it was also $10 all you can drink.. never heard of that before but they had a good selection of alcoholic beverages!

Had a great time with my friends Friday night. The bottomless soju drinks here is such a good deal - $10 per pitcher! I enjoyed the secret and mango flavors the most. I also tried their curry katsu and 49er's sushi rolls which were fine. The restaurant was packed around 7pm, so make a reservation in advance!

What drew me in the $10 AYCD but the sushi itself was also good! The service was quick as we got all our food and drinks in a timely manner. And the interior was very colorful and lively which added to the dining experience. My favorite was the baked rolls!!

Sushi spot in the Castro offering $10 all you can drink, a truly one of a kind deal. There are some rules with the all you can drink including a minimum spend, time limit, and drink variation limit, but all are very reasonable. Sushi wasn't anything special, but in no way bad. We enjoyed our rolls and it was a fun spot to go for the drinks. If I were in the mood for a nice sushi dinner this isn't the spot I'd come, but for a fun night out with friends, that won't break the bank, this is perfect. Despite the 90 minute time limit, we were there quite a bit longer since our sushi didn't come out for about an hour. We got some apps and nigiri that came out quickly, and our second order of rolls came out super fast after ordering, but the original food order took a long time. We made a reservation to come in on a Friday night, we were running a little behind, but gave them a call and they held our table. The place was absolutely packed and there were a lot of people waiting, so a reservation is definitely advised.
