First thing, this restaurant is in the basement.  The Google map is incorrect. You need to walk across the street and look for the stairs that goes upstairs and downstairs. The downstairs you will see the restaurant.
The food they serve are typical of other sushi restaurant. As to taste, You could taste the freshness of the fish especially the salmon.  They also serve other things like大閘蟹. Typically from China.
I have to say their jumbo size shrimp tastes really good.
The only knock on food is that you don't get to select individual fish that you like to eat, everything comes in a combination bowl or a dish. Only few items that comes individually.
Another thing is that they have unlimited miso soup which is really good because they throw all the trimmings from the fish and shrimp into the soup and make the soup really good.
Their service is non-existent. Basically they just give you the dish that you order and that's about it everything else you have to get up and get it yourself including the miso soup.
Another thing which make people who is handicap is that they only have stairs going down to the basement. They do have an elevator but they put all their stuff in front of the elevator so it's basically unusable.

Salmon & Roe Volcano/Deluxe Rice Bowl (Donburi) (market price, $590 as of 17/12/2024):
This was the most authentic and freshest salmon rice bowl (donburi) I had ever tried.
The rice went so delicious with the raw egg, salmon and its roe.
Salmon lover should definitely try this sumptuous bowl at least for once.
Moreover, there were also some tuna and shrimp roe on the top. However, do not pour the raw egg on the top of the tuna, otherwise it might be too full. There will be a hole surrounded by salmon for you to pour onto.

White Grape Smoothie ($60):
It tasted flavourful, icy, crunchy, and had fleshy texture.

Furthermore, the Coke/Sprite costs $30 and the Ramune drink costs $60. There’s also a self service area that you can get barley tea (room temperature) and miso soup (it was one of the tastiest).

In conclusion, the decor is colourful, traditional and well designed with Japanese style. This is a paradise for sashimi donburi fans and you could get addicted to their dishes. In addition, I have also been to the other branch near Guanghua Digital Plaza for a few times, but I’ll be back for this donburi more often. The service is decent and the price depends on what you want to eat. It’s quite near the MRT Songjiang Nanjing Station and if you are looking for the restaurant, there are stairs downwards to the restaurant (B1F) inside the main entrance of the building where there are menus and a lift. Overall, it’s definitely a 10 out of 10!

FYI, you scan the QR code to place an order. Besides, the minimum charge is $200, the maximum time of dining is 70 minutes, the 10% service charge is included in your bill and cash only.

A seafood and dining restaurant located on the basement level offers sashimi and king crab for takeout. For dine-in, they serve sashimi, rice bowls, skewers, and grilled seafood.

I ordered the seared scallop and raw shrimp rice bowl, garnished with salmon roe and shrimp roe, along with shredded white radish and wasabi. The dish was very rich and generously portioned. It also came with a poached egg, and miso soup was available for unlimited refills.

The scallops and shrimp were quite fresh. Shortly after I sat down, the restaurant was fully packed, showing how popular it is. The only downside was that the chairs wobbled a bit. Overall, I would still visit again.
