| - Pros:
It's AYCE, so you won't leave hungry. The beef and mushroom rolls were a highlight.
On an individual basis the staff were pleasant enough and attentive. The poor service seemed to revolve around lack of communication, not lack of concern.
Cons:
Bland, unexceptional food; even the wasabi and ginger didn't have a kick. Fortunately they had additional chili sauce, which helped.
It was early at lunch on a Tuesday, but they'd already "run out of" several items.
The place was deserted and we ordered quickly and then waited more than half an hour for the first dishes. They said the host had given the kitchen the wrong table number, for what that's worth. When the food arrived, our first and second orders all came at once...there wasn't enough room on the tiny table for all of the plates, so obviously much of the food was cold by the time we got to it. The chicken wings we ordered first came after more than an hour, at the end of the meal.
The website is deliberately misleading. Under "lunch menu" they show the dinner menu, but when you look at the iPad several items are not available at lunch, and they offer no sashimi, whatsoever. They need to fix the website, for the sake of clarity, and honesty.
We had a coupon, but they charged HST on the regular menu price. This is like buying something on sale, but paying the full tax on the sale price. That's illegal. Not worth a debate over lunch for two, but if you go for dinner with a large party and have a coupon, it will add up, so be advised.
Many of the reviews I read suggested this was one of the better AYCE buffets, but that wasn't our experience, at all.
