It's a classier version of Ye's, but falls short on the food

Atmosphere- pleasant services- mixed food- poor. too much rice in their sushi and maki. I do love their Galbi though- can't lie I was slightly impressed. But after all, this IS a sushi restaurant and their sushi is subpar at best. And try finding a parking space during lunch/dinner hours...I almost had to run someone over to beat a car to the spot.

never going back again

Although familiar with sushi places, we had never been to Sushi 99 before. One side of the restaurant was empty, so we asked to sit there, as it was more protected from the front door, and because we have two kids under six thought it might be quieter for other patrons. However, we were told this wasn't possible, so were seated in the central section. (foreshadowing alert) We began debating the merits of "all-you-can-eat" versus the a la carte options. We assumed "all-you-can-eat" couldn't be shared, (although there was nothing written about this on any menu) so made up an order from the a la carte menu. Our original sever took this order. A few minutes later a second server came and asked us if we would like to have the AYCE option as well, and worked out which items my wife would keep on the a la carte order, and which items I would be able to put on the AYCE order sheet. We were confused by this, so questioned her about being able to split AYCE items with the kids, but she said that was fine. Her English was very poor, so it was difficult to clarify anything with her. The orders began coming out, and most of the items were fine. The edamame was limpid, but the sushi and rolls were what one would expect. However, my wife had a piece of my AYCE - mistake - the first waitress came over and angrily told her she was not to eat from those portions. My wife told her that we had tried to clarify this, but she was unreceptive, and for the next 15 minutes we were treated to suspicious, accusatory glances. Although I had ordered more items, nothing else was coming. My wife mentioned this to a third server, who smiled and said, "Ok". After waiting a few more minutes, we assumed our orders had been cut off due to our criminal activity, and were feeling pretty unwelcome. We duly paid our bill, and I wrote my concerns on the back of it, and suggested that they make their policy clear on the menu, or train their servers to adequately explain that policy. In any case, we won't be going back to see if they've taken us up on our suggestions. I will chalk this one up as a "what did you expect from a factory sushi joint?", and spend my money at smaller, more personable restaurants in the future. Oh, by the way, several patrons were seated where were had asked to be as we left.

Fish not fresh

I went for All-You-Can-Eat (AYCE) one night with my bf. The hot food came out first. When the sushi eventually came out, the fish was warm. The fish was also very thinly sliced to the point where it was see through and had holes. I felt uncomfortable eating warm unfresh fish. The fish had a strong taste. The server assured us that the fish was fresh but it was hard to say since it was odd tasting and warm.

Decent Sushi

I am a huge Sushi fan, and I recently got my BF into liking sushi, so we came to this restaurant to give it a try. We got the sushi buffet, and by looking at menu, we were a little confused as to what each item on the menu was made of. We asked the waitress, and she helped clarify a few things. Too bad we couldn't understand a word she was saying, she had a very strong accent. The sushi was good. I've tried alot of sushi before and this was good/average. Nothing special however. The service was a bit on the slow side. We'd have to flag the waitress down. The ambiance was very very nice however. Really good atmosphere. Overall, I'd definitely visit again. I am not to picky about things, and as long as they continue to have decent sushi and a decent setting, I'll visit again.

Good quality, slow service

The food was pretty good. The sashimi and rolls were well-made. No major complaints about the quality at all. The quality is as good as any place in town. Quality is not so impressive. It was very slow and inattentive. The place was very busy, so they were a bit overwhelmed. That is no excuse. The service needs significant improvement. Decor was nice enough.
