Iou Sushi III

We came here last night and tried the All You Can Eat Sushi. They close at 9pm, and last call is 8:30pm to place an order. You have to have 6 pieces or less left in order to place a new order, to reduce food waste. They only had 1 cold sake option so we shared 2 large bottles of this and didn't really feel the alcohol. It was decent, just wish it had been colder. There was also an obnoxious fly which kept flying around our table and did land on the Tomago Nigiri so we didn't eat those. Service was friendly.I usually order the same variation of sushi each time I eat out so this time I wanted to try all the nigiri options and a couple new rolls. Nigiri:Albacore - really goodEBI (Shrimp) - okHamachi (Yellowtail) - okHokkigai (Surf Clam) - don't like textureHotatagai (Scallop) - bad aftertasteIKA (Squid) - too slimyInari (Tofy Pockets) - good, a little sweet, more like dessertKani (Stick Crab) - goodMaguaro (Tuna) - decentSaba (Mackerel) - hatedSake (Salmon) - okSeared Tuna - goodTAI (Snapper) - okTAKO (Optopus) - Too ToughTobiko (Flying Fish eggs) - didn't likeUdama (Quail egg) - just tasted like soy sauceUnagi (eel) - ok, sweetUpside down shrimp - too sweetNeed to try next time Tomago (Egg)Rolls:Nan Nuii (sweet sauce on side) - don't like Super Q - good but very spicy

Sushi is fine, their dinner/lunch surf special is my go to. The Selena hand roll and the spicy tuna are good- zero complaints. The three stars are for the service issues. Every time I go it's like there's zero sense of urgency but tonight was definitely the worst service I've ever had here.Ordered green tea, got regular tea. Had to wait 15 minutes before someone stopped by to even get that corrected.Ordered miso soup, the order wasn't put in. Got that 25 mins later.The sushi order took 35 mins to get and they didn't even drop off the soy sauce/ginger and wasabi. I had to ask for it and was told "that might be a problem because we are all out of clean dishes"For a place with ZERO clean dishes, the staff had zero sense of urgency. None whatsoever. I then heard a vegetarian at the table next to be told that they are "all out of vegetables right now."Yeah. Let all this sink in. I think this is worthy of one star but most of the time it's decent- not excellent, not amazing- but decent.

After trying most of the sushi places around town this has got to be the absolute worst. My wife and I literally gagged and did not finish most of what we ordered. Such a shame. There are so many better options out. I hope you don't have the same experience we did.

Best ALL YOU CAN EAT sushi is, no bullsh*t, Iou Sushi 111 in the strip mall by Home Depot on Oracle. It's been our place for years. Generous cuts of fish and, while they don't "fill you up" on rice, they do have a charge for more than 6 pieces left so just order respectfully.We destroy 20 pieces of yellowtail before we even get started on our meal and they love it. Absolutely sushi-quality fish, generously and flavorfully served, with all sorts of creative rolls and their chefs really seem to love working there.No, this is not a paid response and I have only ever given this restaurant my money.

Great service and fresh seafood! My only complaint is that some rolls can be too sweet but we just order it without the sweet sauce and everything is perfect! Wish miso was on the ayce menu too but I highly recommend this restaurant and can't wait to go back!

I used to come here once upon a time. After a few bad experiences, I wrote it off completely. Lately a few friends had mentioned the good experiences that they had, so I came on yelp to check out the reviews. They were mixed. Checked Google out, much more positive than negative. I had lunch time free so I figured I'd check it out.It was night and day from where they were three years ago. Is it bright and sparkling new? No. But it's clean. The staff are incredibly friendly. Are they chatty? Sure. But they got their job done and I felt incredibly taken care of. My order got taken and my drink never went empty. The food came out at a steady pace at the end of what appeared to be a busy lunch. I got out in under an hour and had a delicious meal. The sushi was fresh and flavorful. There was a solid balance between fish and rice. I'm leaving full and happy.

Worst place ever. Servers are rude, don't check on you can't even speak properly, girl just seems high or something. Takes way too long when no one is even in there. The service is just terrible all around. I was looking around to other customers as well as was picking up on the vibe of them being bothered as well. Manager or whatever the younger girl with blondish hair is horrible!!

Absolutely the worst sushi I have EVER put in my mouth. I have had better sushi from Safeway than what the hell they served here. It's not only gross but extremely overpriced and not worth a penny. The waitress also was on her phone and sitting with some random people that came in who were very obnoxious. I understand that any sushi establishment can have a smell to it but this one in particular seemed to be the first sign of why we should've left. Don't waste your time here. This place is a joke!

I've always been a huge sushi fan. This place is a 10/10. The service was quick, and efficient, the sushi was so fresh and tasted amazing, the restaurant was super clean and the sushi chefs were friendly. Overall great atmosphere and even better food. 10/10 would come back

Food was decent but not amazing. Barely anyone there. Took 2 hours for only 3 people eating. Employees were lazy and honestly rude. Seemed like they did not want to be there. Not worth it.
