    Amazing sushi. When I saw Kaiten Sushi, I was expecting to see random sushi rotating on a conveyor belt. This place is all made to order using an iPad to order. It was a bit pricy, however for the quality, it was worth it. Will definitely come back.

    My friend have been raving about MF Sushi for a while and due to lots of traveling schedule I was still unable to check it out yet until Wednesday when MF Sushi started serving luncheon. I went in and since it was the first day MF served luncheon, easy to get a table since it was not widely known yet. The luncheon menu looked great and they were reasonably priced. But after having my selection of luncheon special of Chef Sushi plus a roll, I must say the value was outstanding for the quality of sushi they were serving. The sushi were very fresh and looked beautiful, reflecting the pride of their chefs in preparing them. The service was outstanding, she pointed out the fish type and told me how to taste them in a suggested sequence. Overall, it was a great luncheon and outstanding sushi selection and quality. It is a real gem which I probably have missed in the past. In my view, I would rank MF Sushi higher than the Uchi near Uptown, and Kata Ro
