| - I bought a Teambuy coupon for $25 for 2 people worth of all you can eat sushi at 168 Sushi. At first I was kind of wary about AYCE places bc the quality of the sushi are usually not very good.
168 surprising was not bad at ALL! As a matter of fact it was terrific. Seriously.
1.) SELF-SERVE Salad Bar - I tend to stay away from that in a AYCE, but the salad bar really wasn't bad. It got fresh salad from seed weed salad to soups and lobsters. Did I say Lobsters?! YES! There's lobsters. Wow~ The soup was not bad either, but my only small complaint is their bowls (some of them doesn't look clean, so I grab the ones underneath them).
2.) BUFFET TIME! SUSHI & SASHIMI - 3 Words. Fresh. Unlimited. Quality. Hands down, some of the best sushi I have ever had in an AYCE restaurant (and perhaps better than some regular places too).
3.) DEEP FRIED ITEMS - Weak point of the menu. The deep fried items are not that great. AVOID the mango spring roll...and the Yam...big let down, but hey AYCE are cant be perfect. TRY the chips items though!
4.) MEAT ITEMS - The chicken and beef teriyaki aren't bad, especially the chicken (usually chicken teriyaki are dry, but 168's chicken is quite juicy and tender). Good seasoning and the flavor from the sauce - I really like the strong black pepper taste of the beef teriyaki.
5.) DESSERT - I have to agree with Karl R on this one. The ice cream was soft and did not have a FROSTY cover on the ice cream. Although short on selection, I am sure you will be pretty satisfy with the food that dessert will be secondary. I tried the green tea, vanilla and red bean. Green is the best~
THE VERDICT
-PRICE - Its a bit more pricey ($25/per person for dinner) than some other AYCE sushi places, but I think its worth it if you're into AYCE
-DATE SPOT - Nice urban/club-ish decor, young vibe. Can definitely satisfy your date if he/she is a hungry person or a picky eater. Booth spots available for seating for privacy.
-REPEAT BUSINESS FROM COUPON USE - Although I had a good time with my family I don't see myself going back not because of the food, but simply I'm not an AYCE kind of guy. If you are WHAT are you waiting for? There's 6 locations to go!
