I have been here a handful of times recently with my daughter and also my whole family. They are convenient to Eastman music school and Strong Museum of Play. While they don’t have AYCE, they do have some great lunch specials, which might as well be AYCE because they give you plenty to eat. The rolls are very fresh and delicious. Presentation is very professional. The waitstaff is touch and go, sometimes the service is exceptional and other times decent. It depends on who is working. We’ve never had a bad service experience here, but some staff are more friendly than others. The times we have gone, the time between ordering and receiving our food has always been point on. Finishing soup/salad when the rolls were delivered to our table. I highly recommend Plum House for any sushi craving.

I’ve been to this many times over the years and it’s maintained a good value for the food you get. Today my wife wanted sushi so we stopped in for lunch. They have a lunch menu which has to be the best deal in sushi for the price. I got a sushi sashimi combo for like 17 bucks and my wife got a 3 roll combo (where she could pick from a large list) for like 12. For sushi that’s great. The pieces of fish on the sushi seems to be a “lunch size” but it’s still good. My wife commented on the tempura roll being one of the best she’s had. If you want soup or salad with these combos like you’d get at other places it is only a dollar extra. I like the soup and salad but I’m there for the sushi. The sushi is well prepared and came out quick so a lunch for work is totally doable.

Every single bite was exceptional! Our servicer, Laila was so kind. Her service felt luxuriously relaxing yet attentive. Not rushed at all. We really enjoyed ourselves and just kept ordering.

This has to be the quickest sushi place I’ve ever been to. 4 rolls and it took at most 10 minutes?!?! AND THEY WERE AMAZING!! The waitress was very sweet and funny too. I was full after one roll. I would definitely go back and add it to my go to sushi places!

Everything was so enjoyable! Our server, Tricia was incredibly helpful and attentive. Every restaurant should have someone like her! My Teriyaki Steak Dinner was delicious and came with a variety of sides with lots to take home for later. My family loved their sushi dinners as well. We will definitely be back.

The wait staff was very friendly and the food was from my perspective very fresh and delicious. I had curry udon, fatty tuna roll (loved it) and flying fish and octopus. (a la carte) I've already ordered again. (Also on GrubHub)

Went with a friend for a quick meal before our 8pm show at Eastman Theatre. We had excellent and very quick service. We arrived a little after 6:30 and must have beaten the crowd. We ordered hot Saki and sushi from the Chef Special Roll. I had the Yummy Yummy Roll and Banzai Roll. They looked like a masterpiece on my plate and were both absolutely mouthwatering and delicious. It was the first time my friend had sushi at the Plum House. He had the Oxford Roll and the Amazing Roll. He was amazed and said it was the best sushi he has ever had. The rolls were a nice size and filled us both up. We were in and out within the hour and arrived at the venue with at least 10 minutes to spare.

This place never disappoints! This place is so comforting and the food is amazing . Honestly a Great experience all around from the atmosphere, staff, and food. Will always be one of my Top 5
