All-you-can-eat sushi rolls into Lafayette

The vibe: The locally owned eatery offers sashimi, nigiri and a wide variety of specialty rolls.

• There are booths and tables for large groups, or you can grab a seat at the bar and watch the chefs at work or catch a game on the TVs.

What to expect: The restaurant offers both à la carte and all-you-can-eat menus.

• Weekday lunch runs $23.99, and dinner is $32.99 daily.

The intrigue: Diners have 90 minutes and are charged for leftover food.

• The all-you-can-eat selection includes sushi, appetizers, sides and bowls — yes, even the lobster roll.

My thought bubble: Some places slow-roll you or limit options, but not here. Hokkaido's all-you-can-eat dinner menu matched the regular one nearly item for item, and our bar service was impressively quick.

• My friend and I shared freely between our orders (no complaints from staff), and the sushi quality held up across the board.
• By the end, we were stuffed and happy. Because that's what happens when you eat 2,000 of something.
