    Environment: The seats are cushioned and really comfortable. I sat there for 3 hours (7:30-10:30) tonight. I didn't even realized I have already sat there for 3 hours, so you can tell how comfortable the seats are hahaha. And the place is nice and spacious.

    Service: Thumbs up! Wonderful service. I'm really pleased with their attentiveness!! =)

    1. The servers are really attentive:
    - Once I sat down, the server came over to greet us and ask if we want to start with any drink (tea or pop)!
    - Then during the dinner, when we almost finish the food on our table, the server came over ask if we would like to order more food.
    - They would stop by your table from time to time to check if everything is alright, if the food is good, if any order has been missed.

    2. The servers are knowledgeable: They know about every dish, they will tell you the names and the ingredients in the roll, they remember everything! The server at other all you can place has no knowledge to the dishes at all, always asked me to wait and they'll go ask the chef. BUT at Sano Sushi, every server can tell you everything about the dishes! They are definitely well trained!

    3. The servers are really friendly: They would stop by and talk with you and always have a smile on their face.

    Food:
    1. LOVE the avocado eel roll, it taste so good! the avocado melt in your mouth and it blends well with the eel!

    2. A huge selection of rolls and most of them are really good: eel avocado roll, dynamite roll, arctic roll...

    3. They have red tuna sushi (only at night)! It taste good!

    4. they have huge selection for dessert, and they are ALL SO GOOD:
    - chocolate mousse: STRONG flavour of chocolate! it's a bit TOO sweet for me
    - strawberry mousse: STRONG flavour of strawberry! LOVE it! the sweetness is just right!
    - mango jelly (its mango pudding but the menu said mango jelly): it taste good!!
    - mango yogurt: it's more like tofu fa with mango jam on top, it taste so good!! The "yogurt" is so soft, and smooth!
    - strawberry yogurt: same as mango yogurt except its strawberry jam on top, also really good!
    - coffee jelly: STRONG flavour of coffee! MUST TRY if you are a coffee lover!

    5. tried a few hot dishes and didn't really like them. for example the Enoki Beef (enoki mushroom wrapped with beef), the sauce is SOOO sweet, doesn't taste good..

    6. the food all came really fast!!

    7. the presentation of the sushi are so good! they put the sushi on the boat with a flashing ice cube on it (it changes color oh, green~blue~purple~orange~red..) so pretty!!! just make me smile when I see their beautiful presentation of the food

    I've been here twice prior and now I see some cost cutting being introduced;  the garlic mushrooms are finely sliced to little bits instead of them being served in halfs, my garlic beef was chopped again into very small chunks and made tataki raw? (i sent it back to be re-cooked), and really I was not getting good service at all that night.  I had to find someone for tea fill-ups in an empty restaurant!

    Sano Shrimp a signature fried shrimp dish with spicy sauce was disappointing, the inside shrimp tasted cold but the outside warm batter warm and fried. The place was pretty good when I first started coming but this last time wasn't that great.

    Was this review …?

    Everything that served here at Sano Sushi are drowned in some kind of orange sauces and gravy.

    I know I am in one of those AYCE Japanese nightmare when I saw my salads.. especially my Wakame salad that looks like a soup?

    My Red Tuna sushi looks so red just like one of those plastic fake one that used to decorate display windows, I really feel like I am falling deeper and deeper in this bad dream...

    Fried Fish Cake? that looks like a solid cube with a funny texture...and I think this tasted like the exact same sauce that is on my cold Grilled Salmon Neck?

    Why are the Sano shrimps (deep fried breaded shrimps) so cold and more orange sauces on top of them?!

    I just cannot do this anymore... at least the green tea ice cream bring me back to reality...

    15% off if paying cash... But I don't think this is enough incentive for me to come here ever again!

    This place had a very good selection on its all-you-can-eat menu.  Service was pretty good.  The fish was very good but the sushi wasn't assembled very well; -- it tended to fall apart.  We probably wouldn't go back as there are better local alternatives.
