Zumo Thai in Chinatown has an all you can eat sushi special. It’s good quality sushi for the price, but there are a bunch of rules to follow (check the rules pic). So, go in with a plan:
Keep an eye on the clock since you only have 90 minutes and order your next 5 pieces as you receive a round of sushi. Make sure not to order more than you can eat in the last round. Talk to your group beforehand to coordinate whether you’re ordering the $25 or $35 option since the whole group must order the same special. Personally, I tell the staff not to include regular salad in the bowl with the seaweed salad, since it seems like a waste to pad seaweed salad with lettuce. Oh, and don’t eat too much of the “white tuna” as mentioned below.
Ok, here are the words of caution. They have white tuna listed in the AYCE special, which in this case is escolar (a deceptive naming practice sushi restaurants use to push less expensive fish), also known as the “Ex-Lax fish.” Escolar (sometimes along with other options known as butter fish) is fatty and delicious, but because of its “wax esters,” eating more than 4-6 ounces can have unwanted consequences occurring 30 minutes to 36 hours after consumption. I ate two pieces of the white tuna and was fine, but I’m concerned that people will unknowingly eat too much of this delicious but somewhat dangerous fish in one sitting. A piece of white tuna nigiri is shown in the top left image.
The $25 option with tax and the set top percentage totaled $33, which was IMHO definitely worth it.
