Asked for it a few times and they said they didn't have it, until finally they, but they never said that it has to be preordered.
It is amazing.
It's fantastic. It doesn't HAVE to be pre ordered but that significantly increases the chance of them having it available.

I feel sick after I eat more than 2 rolls. And I'm the same guy that gets 3-4 slices of pizza.
Same here.
  Getting back to my point that 3 rolls is more  then most people need at one time, making a buy 2 get 1 free a poor deal.

Yep even if technically your able to eat 3 rolls most ppl don’t do it mainly it’s not really a main dish /heavy to eat so much rice and raw fish ... price may be a factor as well

It makes a big difference when buying for an event. You get 3 platters for the price of 2.

People can deff save money with this deal just saying it’s not useful for most people. Either way their basic platter of 6 rolls is $40 . Aisle 9 charges $30 iirc . That’s a savings of $10 when buying 3. Also in general these kind of sales only work out if you need exactly a multiple of 3. More often than not, your buying more or less then you need with these kind of promos... same goes with any buy one get one free etc... their the worst kind of promotions... they make you over buy or under buy. They control you ??!!

As in eventually when the development/shopping center opens, or now in the golf course club house?
If yes, will they be the exclusive caterer for events there?

You seem to think that aisle9 is the only sushi place in town and everyone else is up against them.

Breakfast/lunch instead of lunch/dinner. Also, coal fired pizza oven.
