   I’m not sure what all the hype is about because the food was average. Everything had a similar flavor profile which was ok but just not as great as other places I’ve been to (like ETCetera Sushi). There are three different all-you-can-eat options with the highest being $60 the mid-level being $45 and the low option being around $40. We chose the mid-level and ordered 5 different rolls. I don’t use soy sauce as I want to taste the flavors so I was disappointed in the lack of distinction between what we ordered. The music was pop rock. I’m not a huge fan of hearing Avril Lavigne blasting during dinner but if that’s your thing, then you may enjoy the environment. The saving grace for Sushi Damu was their service. Everyone was friendly, efficient, and super observant of each guest. Overall though, I don’t think I’d come here again because I have other sushi places I love way more.

   The absolute BEST AYCE sushi! Excellent service and the sushi is super fresh and delicious. My family loves this place! Dragonbreath roll is so good! One of our favorites! But the bluefin tuna from Spain is out of this world. Quality fish and amazing service at sushi damu! Will forever be our favorite sushi spot.

   We got the Sashimi Plus AYCE for my birthday, and it was totally worth it! Super fresh sashimi, delicious rolls and appetizers, and creative cocktails. Loved the lychee martini. I highly recommend this restaurant.

   Place is always good. Today was the first time I’ve ever had a semi negative experience. We had reservations for 12pm (opening) but I’m not really sure why? We ended waiting in the same line as people without. My wife decided to check in around 12:05 and we were told to wait in line. 12:25 and I called and they told us to come to the front. Honestly, pretty ridiculous to have reservations at opening and not get seated till almost 12:30. Operations are a mess. Could easily be resolved with a reservation and non-reservation line. And of course because we got in late then the wait for food was long because so many others had put in their orders before us. Definitely needs work on the reservation experience.

    Terrible experience and customer service, will not be returning to Sushi Damu! Made a reservation for a large party to over the phone for a celebration and confirmed with employee that not everyone in the party needed to participate in the AYCE (all you can eat) experience, that others may order separate entrees. Employee reassured that not everyone had to order AYCE. Upon arriving at the reservation was told otherwise and when asked to speak with a manager, was spoken to rudely. Ultimately we you our business to Sake2Me down the street where they were willing to take our large party immediately and made the best out of celebration. I do not recommend Sushi Damu!
