| - Thrice have I now indulged in the wonderful lunch buffet that is Ru San's. Each time I've gone, I have loved it more than the last. For $9.99 at lunch time, you can eat as much of their tasty sushi as you like. On the buffet, they usually have about 12 or so different types of maki rolls that you can eat. On the other table, they have sushi, delicious fried calamari, stir-fry, desserts, and other little appetizers and salads, in case you get sick of just eating maki rolls. They keep rotating out different kinds of rolls throughout the lunch period. I was surprised on how many different types of rolls they put out.
Yes, it is pretty much always busy here at lunch time. Yes, you have to buy individual cans or bottles of drinks (particularly soda and beer). It can get pretty noisy with all the people, and sometimes it gets a little difficult to get into the buffet lines. I can never figure out which direction you're supposed to go, which is mildly chaotic. Even when they first open, there's often a line outside the door waiting to get in. Sometimes, when it's really busy, you have to wait a few minutes before the servers come so you can pay your tab. If you don't mind that, this place is delicious, fast, and pretty cheap for a sushi lunch.
That being said, I've never been to dinner, so I can't speak as to that aspect. At lunch time the servers basically just clear plates, which I've never had a problem with.
