I've bought here a few times, it's fun and I can't get enough. It's our fault that we didn't check first, but the staff is sorry. I have sushi, where does it go? into the stomach of the staff?

Have you ever heard of an order here that doesn't have enough items? You guys don't have enough staff? It's a crazy mood.

This is another option for simple sushi, normally for those on the go. This is inside Aeon Station 18, on the ground floor. The options are ok, but don't expect sashimi. The price is ok, but used to be cheaper and more reasonable. They also have oden, the quality fluctuates a lot though.
