Shobu Sushi
This is the first "All you can eat" restaurant I have ever been to with a fine print.

The service at Shobu is great, except the constant second guessing of if you are sure you are going to finish what you order. My husband and I are sushi lovers and were really excited about an all you can eat sushi place up here.

Walking in the décor is very interesting, and modern. As you look over the menu you have a constant reminder that, "PLEASE ORDER ONLY WHAT YOU CAN FINISH. WE WILL CHARGE FULL PRICE FOR ANY REMAINING FOOD". When I say you are reminded I mean, this statement is on the menu, it is on the table placemat and on the wall (As seen in my pictures below).

The food is very fresh....until you eat a certain amount..... The rolls; when busy, do take a great deal of time coming out. After you eat a couple of rolls, the staff starts asking are you sure you can finish it? Seriously? Yes, with every additional order the staff asks this more and more and the quality of the food begins to go down. By the time we ordered the last roll of the evening the head chef personally came out and asked us, "are you sure you are going to be able to finish it"? The last set of rolls that were brought out smelled of fish and tasted horrible compared to everything else that evening. While the price of the food is very good for the quality, and quantity that you receive, the constant harassment of the food police really takes away from the experience. I have very mixed feeling about if I will ever go back, even if the food in the beginning is good the harassment and decline of food is not worth it.
