I love this place, it resides in my teenage and childhood memories of where my family goes for dimsum. The place is usually crowded on sunday afternoons, but the food is definitely worth the wait. My parents usually likes to come to this place a little earlier before lunch when it is not so crowded. This place is huge! There are many rows of tables, so it's not a very quiet atmosphere during the busy time. My favorite item has always been the shumai and shrimp rice noodle rolls. I highly recommend this place for the dimsum experience. This place is part of my memory.

The restaurant is fairly nice looking. As you enter, you see a sushi bar counter set before a sushi chef. If the sushi bar is not to your liking you can go further into this place and find your common casual resturant with table setting. I went to this place at night, but even during the day the place is dark, lit by orangish lights.
Now lets get down to the food. I personally order the suishi deluxe combo. It costs 13.50 during lunch time and 16.50 at dinner. You are initially served with miso soup and Japanese salad. I am only dissappointed with the salad at this place, because it is not the same sweet miso taste I taste in other Japanese restaurants. The salad is a bit bland.
The main plate of food is a variety of sushis, both nigiri and maki. I don't exactly remember all that I got but I'll try to the best of my ability in the following list:
4 Tuna Maki rolls
1 Yellowtail Nigiri
1 Unagi Nigiri
2 Tuna Nigiri
2 Salmon Nigiri
1 Salmon Eggs Roll
1 Shrimp Nigiri
1 Tamago
The sushi tasted great. I thought that this plate wouldn't fill me up, but it did. I did not need to order extra sushi to satisfy my cravings. My cousin was also satisfied.
In my opinion, for the price of 16:50 it was quite worth it. However, I have yet to try the competing place called Kayo. My friend says that you get quite a bit there as well for 16 dollars. I would definitely return to this place.
