| - This is actually my fourth (maybe fifth) time here over the past year, didn't really get a chance to write a review during my first few visits. If I was to have rated this place on my first few visits, it would have easily been 4 stars. But, my last 2 visits, I had no choice but to give it 3 stars only.
At first, this buffet was on par with Tenichi (which I think is the best Jap AYCE in the GTA). The last couple of visits, the quality went a little down hill. From the sashimi to the cooked foods, to the desserts, things just turned out to be different.
Very difficult to name all the dishes I ordered but, I always get all the beef dishes on the menu. Beef tataki is very important to me, I will always order this dish at every Jap AYCE I go too. This used to be pretty good, but the last two visits, I was just disappointed. Seems like they got a bad cow or something. It was not seared probably and the flavoring was just not there. And speaking of bad cow, the beef cubes with garlic, lacked flavoring as well. Beef short ribs was too fatty (and I like fat too) and very oily as well.
Desserts... love the mango yogurt and ginger milk. Not much to complain here, everything was normal and how I remember it was the first few visits.
In terms of pricing, $64 for two (including tax and the automatic 10% tip) which is pretty much average for an AYCE place these days.
Will I come back... yes, LOL. I can't keep going to Tenichi all the time.
PS. The special thing about this place is, they will give you half a grill lobster to each person.
