Food 0/5 (freshness 0/5, texture 0/5, taste 0/5) Service 4/5 Cleanliness/Ambiance 1/5 The sushi rice tasted very old (both from conveyer belt and the made to order) and all of the types of sushi we ate tasted all the same. I wanted to leave the place the moment I had my first bite but did not want to be rude to the person I was with and also to the restaurant.

Sushi and ordered plates taste good every time I visit. Restaurant is also very clean.

Not a day goes by that I don't think about dining at Sensei Sushi. The staff is incredible and the sushi will have your tastebuds line dancing. I often eat lunch here and love the "vibe." Its quiet, no-fuss ambiance makes me feel at home - plus they're always playing great movies on the TV.

Great sushi! Great service! Had enough time to go, sit, and enjoy my lunch on the measly 30 minutes I get. I may have enjoyed myself a little too much, seeing as how I've never been really "full" of sushi before, but I walked back to work happy.

Not quite as bright inside as some of the photos suggest. Also, we had shown up during happy hour so it was late in the day. Food was great and service.... well the lady in charge did the best she could. But there wasn't much seating at the bar so we sat at a table near the door. Perhaps it was for the best. The rest of the staff busily and quietly prepared the food.

Maybe they were having a bad day, but our meal was just meh. The rolls were so-so, the fish was lackluster, and the cut was too thick. The Albacore was not fresh and probably should not have been served. The service was OK, but for a Tuesday evening, they were rushing us to get out the door by 7 PM. Sorry if the truth hurts, but I won't be back.

We had a great time with the conveyor belt sushi. Recommended.

Fish didn't seem fresh and the rolls were cut so large it was difficult to fit it in my mouth.

Great place!!! I love going here for lunch Usually once a week. The staff is nice, the chefs very friendly and always ask if you want anything special. I highly recommend this place. Perfect place for a quick lunch Or stop with friends and try many plates.

This is my go to lunch spot as they're fast, fresh, and a great value!Staff is casual and friendly.I really appreciate the generous cuts of fish. I think the sushi chefs do a great job for such quick service model.As with any conveyorbelt sushi, there's a chance you get something that has been sitting a while. I can generally discern that (and I know my faves), so I've only had good experiences.

Best conveyor belt sushi that I've been to period. Came here twice in the last three days! So yummy. The fish-to-rice ratio is really good. It's so much bigger than the other places. Even though the prices are slightly more than the normal conveyor belt prices, imo it's worth the difference imo. The fish is fresh, and they serve more rolls than is listed on their menu! Just need to ask. Staff is so friendly; you can ask them for anything throughout your meal and get helped quickly. Casual ambiance and quick eats! 10/10! Will definitely be back!

Absolutely great, fried rolls were still warm even on the conveyor, great variety and nice workers. Salmon is so soft and tender melts in your mouth best salmon I've ever had. Cute and quaint inside, soft music, not bad

I always enjoy finding a new conveyer-belt-sushi place, and Sensei was no exception. The best thing about these places is that you can start eating the moment you sit down. The servings on the plates were a little larger than I'm used to at most sushi places, and the cost for each plate was clearly marked. Everything I tried was tasty and fresh. There were lots of choices on the belt, but if you don't see what you want, the sushi chefs are happy to make you something special. My wife always gets at least one plate of unagi rolls, which she said was good here. Everyone was very helpful.

Used to love this place has been closed since the pandemic I looked through the window.

Great quality sushi with large portions for its price point! The happy hour deal makes this place such an affordable and filling dining option. They require that you purchase a beverage during happy hour, which includes a variety of beer, sake, and wine. The happy hour deal includes a range from $.50 to $1.50 off a variety of items (apps, rolls, and nigiri). My partner and I shared about 10 plates and our bill came out to only $36 prior to tipping. This is an awesome spot if you're craving sushi and on a time crunch. We were in and out within 25min.
