Detail Review:

Around 6pm, Me and my wife went into this Japanese restaurant. There were only 4 customers inside and 2 waiters. I noticed that it may not be a good restaurant because the number of customers at dinner time, but we had driven 20 miles to come to try their buffet, so we still stayed to have our buffet dinner.The environment was nice, but do you know where the buffet dish was? The answer is that many trays were set in front of the sushi bar, all the trays were covered by plastic wrap. One chef was making the sushi, but he was not busy because there were only 8 customers from 6pm to 7pm.

The food quality was terrible. You can see how thin was the salmon on the sushi;the abnormal ratio between fish and rice of the sushi made me feel that it was a "pingpong ball sushi". Some sushi were made with fired squid. The squid was sitting too long, so the coating was very wet and soft. You can see how dry of the eel. The food quality once again was very bad.And I could not finish my 2nd plate. There was not too many types of sushi and dish. I was so disappointed.

You know what? I did not ask how much it costed before having the buffet, I thought it should not be more than 15 dollars per person. However, I was wrong. The buffet was $18.95 per person plus tax. It was too ridiculous of charging that much. I am not saying that because of the food quality, but the number of different kinds was in the buffet. Me and my wife will not go there again.
