Love this place though it's gotten bit expensive for us. Used to go for lunch which was more reasonable but they don't have lunch most days anymore, which I understand. Very fresh food and delicious. Many veggie options which I appreciate.

First time I went, was later in the evening and felt the fish was mediocre. Tried it again and got there right at opening and actually loved it! Sushi was very fresh with multiple types of nigiri and specialty maki rolls, as well as little bowls of poke. There's also an entire hot section with different meats, fish (so good) and crabs, as well as a small bbq station which was just ok. Also a freshly made ramen and udon station - liked the udon more than the ramen. For dessert, crepe station (kinda meh) and SOFT SERVE - omg they ran out of matcha but the vanilla was actually so good. Unfortunately I don't think I ate my moneys worth BUT would def come back again if i wanted to stuff myself w sushi and different meats!

While a bit pricey, I do tend to enjoy this buffet for the value it provides. It's great to get a lot of different types of food though having to wait in line can be frustrating when it's very busy. Overall, the environment is nothing to really write home about and I know that some people have historically had issues with their food after eating it but I never have. I do wish they had crab legs again, but that's probably not gonna happen.

The best Asian buffet experience I've had ever!! I have childhood memories of Asian buffets and they were all pretty similar but this exceeds all expectations. Food - really, really good. Lots of seafood options, which was amazing and better than having tons of average mass dishes like chow mein, fried rice, egg rolls, etc. Everything looked fresh and was prepared well. There were several dishes where I wanted to go back and get seconds of, which is a good sign for a buffet where you could eat literally anything there! The sushi options were just as good as if you went to your typical sushi restaurant, if not a little better. Green tea and vanilla soft serve as well as a crepe station were cherries on top! Large drink options, and they serve bottles of the Ito En green tea! Sanitation - so clean and really great at COVID rules. Two sides of the restaurant (hot food and sushi), with demarcated traffic lines. You don gloves before entering the buffet lines and overall people are great at wearing masks when not eating. Service - so quick, FRIENDLY, and attentive. They made you feel welcomed, even for a buffet where they don't necessarily have to wait on you! Other pros: Very large space with tons of seating, so it never feels too crowded. There were a few people who got there early to get in right when the restaurant opened (us included) but it seems to be out of excitement, not necessity. Plenty of parking is also a plus. Reasonable price for what you can get, although a tiny bit cheaper would be nice. That being said, I will definitely be back!
