“it was not a good experience. Everything was super rushed which is understandable but the rice was undercooked”

“The main omakase is actually pretty good (although super rushed). The "unlimited" part was a joke. And I'm pretty sure I got mild food poisoning from it”

“I don't like SourAji (any location.) The rice quality sucks and they give you tiny slivers of fish with mounds of rice at the end. It's way cheaper but I don't think it's worth it.”

“Souraji for $98 omakase then unlimited toro and wagyu and also sake and beer! 90 mins”

“the 13-course omakase was literally sent from heaven and the AYCE deal was so worth it w/ the sake.”
H2
“If you want AYCE it’s great, if you want quality traditional omakase it isn’t what you’d be looking for”
H2
“I prefer it over SourAji as SourAji's rice is ass/they barely give enough fish.”
H2
“I could tell it was _fine,_ but the AYCE was fun at the end and the unlimited sake really made the whole ordeal more fun.”
H2
“They are SO generous about the sake pours at Souraji, and the choices are pretty solid. Really elevates the value.”
H2
“I personally don't like sour Aji because of how heavy the vinegar is on the rice. It leaves such a taste in your tongue that gets off putting over time.”
H2
“I didn’t think the fish was too thin, and also even if it was you can get as many as you want so why does it matter. Also the wagyu is excellent and I got more of that either way.”
H2
“I had the same experience. I usually don't mind vinegar heavy shari but it definitely had an unpleasant after-taste at Sour Aji”
H2
“Souraji for budget friendly but there's much more rice/slivers of fish in the ayce section.”
H2
“I enjoyed it and think it's worth the try. I know there's a lot of hype on the spot, but I went in with the mindset that it wasn't going to be anything that spectacle.”
H2
“The lean tuna was sliced normally, the fatty tuna a bit thin and the wagyu was thinnest, but it was still tasty.”
H2
“It was a steal for the price point and a fun vibe. It’s less upscale than most Omakase spots but I think if you’re up for a relaxed vibe and unlimited sake + AYCE, this is your spot!”
H2
“souraji is better than sugarfish. and it's all you can eat/drink”
H2
“SourAji has a fun atmosphere and is cheapest but has the weakest quality. Only go there if you're obsessed with fatty tuna.”
H2
“The omakase part of the dinner from the west location was much better.”
H2
“Okay I'll be first to admit that the sushi was meh, but SourAji was a super fun time with unlimited drinks and nigiri (at the end it's Wagyu, otoro, and chutoro)”
H2
“its not particularly going to be high quality.”
