| - Place: it looks nice. A long and high ceiling place. Cleanliness is good. Not excellent but good.
Food: sushi comes in 1 piece, other cooked foods come in smaller portions. Which is not bad, since it's buffet. Just be aware.
we went for lunch and there were no sashimi. Only sushi. Salmon, white tuna, mackeral were all pretty good. The rice is not true Japanese sushi rice. It crumbles and falls off the piece of fish when I dip it in the soya sauce.
Lunch had Soups, dim sum dishes, sushi, rolls, Korean BBQ beef, ribs (kalbi), salads, udon and ramen, jap pizza, fried noodles, desserts (ice cream, mousse, mango pudding)
The Best was the kalbi, 3 pieces per order. Just order enough of these and you'll already ate your money's worth. The Korean buggogi beef was also very good. Tender, flavourful.
Service: it's iPad driven so food came as ordered. But all the waiters and staff are from China and with that comes their usual rough, not too polite culture. Like throwing down the wasabi and ginger dishes on the table when we sat down. When I walked to the washroom, a Mandarin speaking staff lady behind me yelled out "excuse me excuse me!" To make me get out of HER way. Amm, ever heard of being polite to customers and give us the right of way?
On my way out I saw a staff lady pushing the big dirty dish trolley heading my way, so I figured I'd be nice and stepped out of the way. She then stopped the cart infront of me, another lady walked near with her pile of collected dirty dishes and she dumped all the dishes into the cart tub right infront of me! Geez.
A real Japanese owner would be so ashamed.
Price: went up from a few years ago (so don't trust the photo you see here on yelp Menu). See my photo here.
If you think of this place as a buffet for cooked Japanese and Korean food with some raw Japanese food. Then it's a good restaurant.
I would come back for lunch , the price is good for that. Dinner? I think there's better Japanese buffets for that price. I'd prefer Fork n Spoon (JJ's) selection for dinner.
