    Giant shrimp

    5-stars for sure! I don't know why the other reviewers here say otherwise. Remember, this is an AYCE buffet and you have set your expectations, especially for the price! We were visiting on a day trip from Boston, and we know AYCE. Was pleasantly surprised to find sushi and sashimi too (maybe because it's a Saturday and a holiday weekend? Or always dunno)- and it was good for what it is (again, set expectations - this is NOT $10/appetizer type of restaurant). The shrimp were enormous! And 8 flavors of ice cream to choose from. And the price can't be beat. Plus a family restaurant! Glad post-pandemic buffets are back and glad we made it here tonight.

    Clams, shrimp, sushi, sashimi

    Came here twice, decent food. Lots of sashimi and clams even during the weekday. Seeing people eat 5+ pounds of sushi or shrimp is pretty amazing. Where does all the food go I wonder? This restaurant is popular with everyone and was pretty crowded for a Wednesday. Sushi is of middle quality - lots of variety, very affordable. Chinese takeout food mad decent as well

    The buffet was good. Some food was a bit too sweet to my liking but overall it was good. The servers were very attentive and it was clean.

    Shrimp with Garlic Sauce, fried rice and hot and sour soup.

    Their prices are too expensive for their taste. Seafood is expensive & I get that but the other food is disgusting. Would not recommend.

    It's over priced. 15 dollars for cold and nasty food. Oh and the staff is rude which makes the experience worse never going back

    I walked in and walked back out. The staff was rude. It smelt awful and looked dirty. This place should be shut down.

    For the price and availability in the New London area it can be beat.

It was a bit above average for the area and prices were better than I've seen elsewhere. My husband and I dined in on a Saturday around 6 pm. The place was already slammed with online orders and it did not stop the entire hour or so we spent in the building. Everything is disposable even when dining in and eating out of styrofoam isn't my preference but ok. It's a small establishment and I would guess the overwhelming majority of their business comes through online ordering. So, order online rather than go in as there is no real ambiance. I tend to order pretty basic rolls and sashimi which I think really levels the playing field when it comes to sushi. So, my commentary on the sushi is just based on the quality of the fish. It was alright not particularly vibrant or fresh. But not bad either. The pieces of sashimi were literally the biggest I've ever seen. They were too big to comfortably one-bite. The spicy tuna roll was pretty good and didn't require soy sauce to make it palatable. The miso soup was also good. My husband loved their salad dressing. If we decide to order again I would skip the sashimi and probably order some à la cart nigiri to form my final opinion. The search for a truly killer sushi place around here continues.
