Sushi Time - Columbus

Ordered a sashimi entree that included 18 pieces of sashimi (3 of each tuna, salmon, red snapper, yellow tail, and mackerel. I added 3 spicy rolls (tuna, salmon and yellowtail) and it came with miso. Everything was excellent.Food: 4/5

Very underwhelmed walking in because it was empty and doesn't look like a sushi bar inside. BUT!!! The sushi was fresh prepared and cool, not cold or warm. And the flavor was spot on. Got the Alaska roll and a rainbow roll. Both delicious!Food: 5/5

I had the sexy roll, a deep fried roll! It was surprisingly delicious! Great prices too. Atmosphere was low key and chill. Great place to eatFood: 4/5

I'm writing this review in real-time for full disclosure. We were greeted and seated immediately by friendly staff. The ambiance is lack luster but im here for the food so I don't care. Its clean and thats what is important. We started with an appetizer which was fried calamari and I have to say, I'm very disappointed. The breading is good and the crunch is great but, the actual octopus is rubbery and tough. I do not recommend. Cocktail wise though, I ordered the Blue ninja and it's amazing! Raste is almost like the blue part of a rocket pop. The boyfriend ordered a saki martini and it's as a proper a martini should be. Next what we all want to know, the sushi rolls....we have the Spicy tuna roll, the spicy Salmon roll, the Columbus roll, and lastly the Dancing tuna roll. Spicy tuna and salmon were good in flavor but lacking in quality. They were not fully wrapped in sushi rice, however, I would eat these again with a 7 out of 10. Dancing tuna roll had great texture and flavor so I'd give this an 8 out of 10. But the winner is the Columbus roll with a 9 1/2 out of 10! All in all I would give the experience an 8 out of 10 would eat here again!

The only reason why this is a two star and not a one, is because their prices are admittedly very competitive, for the quantity of sushi you get. I used to not be picky about the quality, but after getting sick(see below), i'm beginning to question how they keep their prices so low compared to the other places in the area. The service is also terrible, but i'll the other google reviews cover that for me.I used to love this place when they can have All You Can Eat a few years ago, which is no longer available.The quality was average (esp the tuna) but it didn't seem unsafe. Unfortunately it seems both quality and price have gotten worse in the last few years.Thats okay right?No. Because the quality of the sushi is objectively subpar to other options in Columbus. This is what made the AYCE appealing.The sushi cannot be that bad right?No, because I have gotten diarrhea after eating here (which has lead to me writing this review). I am also not alone, as I have friends who used to eat here have had the same issue.I have eaten at most sushi places in Columbus, and even the American ones like Fusion haven't made me sick.I will say I've had been here before with no issues (when they had AYCE), so your experience may vary than my last visit.Tread carefully.
