    Bad
    David K.

    Definitely one of the top five worst meals I've ever eaten, in 59 years on this planet. Nothing tasted good, they couldn't even get the french fries, right. Really disgusting looking, and nothing was fresh, the fish was horrible, and edible Salad dressing was Alcoholic it was so old. Bathrooms were dingy, help was bad. I can't say enough about this place to tell you never to go there, despite any optimism or hunger. Much better off with other local options.

    One of MANY buffet lines on site.

    I never visited this place before. I saw so many reviews it almost turned me away. I decided to take the wife and kids and meet up with some friends. The place was really big, open and lots of room. The seating was a little tight. I felt like I was dining with my neighbors. However, the food.... The food was really good. Tons of selections and ~$20 per person it's not bad considering a combo at a non buffet runs around ~$15-20. I would say it's absolutely worth it. The bar also made great drinks and not many buffets locally have a bar. TLDR - Give it a try. Don't let the reviews persuade you. I will go back.

    I was surprised that the restaurant met my expectations, for a typical buffet-style restaurant. I understand that buffet-style food is not always the best quality/delicious, but I was impressed by the selection of sushi they had - definitely my favorite, especially salmon nigiris and Tamago nigiris. The rolls were filled and the person making them did not use too much rice (some buffets do so to make the customers full faster). The crawfish was average, we got a few plates of it, they kept coming out hot whenever the trays were near empty. I wish there were more sauce options for the seafood, I felt like the mussels were too bland, since the butter isn't salted. I loved the honey shrimp! There's self-serve ice cream as well as a variety of fruits and cakes. Honestly, I would come back, I think I got my money's worth for what it is (~$20 per person before tip).

    Quick little Poké place that was in a nice plaza with abundant parking. I got the Atlantic which…read moreseems to be their signature, which had salmon and tuna. Service was friendly and welcoming, and the area was nice and clean. There was also outdoor seating to grab some fresh air. The food itself was alright. I wouldn't say anything was crazy about the food but it did its job. If anything, the rice felt a bit tough and not that fluffy, but not to an extent that it was a dealbreaker. Good for a spot if you're craving poké or something relatively healthy.

    Food: good bowl with a generous amount of salmon and tuna. They have options of white rice, brown…read morerice, or salad for the base. Decent fish quality and a good array of toppings after and sauces. Service: nice service, fast, and they aren't cheap with the ingredients. Did what they needed to do, no fuss, not sus, and it was bus(sin'). Ambiance: nice conditioned indoors with plenty of seating. There's seats and umbrella-tables outside to the side of the building that makes for a good outdoor eating experience. They're kept clean and a staff member comes out to clean up and wipe the tables clean after they're used. Parking: abundant. It's near other food restaurants, bars, and a Whole Foods. Overall a good place for some quick seafood bowls. It ain't a poke bowl from Hawaii but it'll do the job.

    We used to come here frequently, but were disappointed on our last visit. However, this was on our…read moreway home and I was in the mood for some sushi. We were surprised how busy it was considering it was only 5:15 pm on a weekday. Everyone was in the front room which includes the bar, some tables and a sushi counter. We were quickly seated, adjacent to the bar, as all the tables against the wall (read that as incrementally further from the bar) were taken. Our pleasant waiter arrived promptly, and took our order. We selected: * Gyoza (6 pieces): Pan fried or steamed pork dumpling $7.50 * Hibachi Chicken & Shrimp with Fried Rice $25.00 * Sake Don (7 pieces) Salmon sashimi over a bed of sushi rice $15 Soup and salads arrived immediately, and were fine, standard fare. The fried Gyoza was very tasty and quite light. The Sake Don was good, the salmon was a little thin, there was a nice amount of roe added and a huge amount of rice. But the Hibachi Chicken & Shrimp was terrible. The proteins were tough and dry, the rice was much too salty and also dry, it was a very unappealing dish. My co-diner commented that the venue looked tired, the table felt sticky (the plastic menu was difficult for the waiter to retrieve from the table as it was stuck to it), and it was very noisy. She commented that we should never return.

    Definitely went downhill. I order takeout from this restaurant frequently since it's the closest…read moresushi/hibachi to me, 5 mins drive. I came here with my family along with 2 other families since they were doing specials B1G1 50% off hibachi. - service was decent, we were the only table for hibachi. - tables and plates were sticky, it was stuck to the table. - I rarely eat here since I have little kids and takeout is more convenient. We ordered a few items and 6 hibachi and 1 kids meal. For the kids meal we didn't order a drink but they kept pushing us to order a drink for the deal. It didn't make sense since we were okay with the child being only 4 to have her meal not be part of the promotion. In the end, the promotion was not fully honored. They used the kids meal as the 1/2 off and refused to let us split the check between the three families. Coupon will not be honored if split.. dumb excuse. It was an excuse so that we can't get a discount for the reg hibachi. If you're not going to honor it right, you should not promote it. After years of coming here, we will not be back again.
