| - Although I had my doubts about a place which claims to serve Japanese, Thai, Malaysian and Chinese all at once in a buffet format, I went to try it for the sake of science.
Started off with the sashimi, which were sliced in randomly-shaped pieces. Everyone working there seemed to be Chinese, so that wasn't a surprise. I didn't die or get sick afterwards, so I guess the sashimi was ok. Had a ton of the seaweed salad, which was pretty good but had a lot of cucumber mixed in.
The all you can eat lobster and crab was edible, but obviously not fresh as the meat was crumbly. Lobster soup with puff pastry was not bad. Hot and sour soup was good. Green thai curry and mango salad was also decent. However the other dishes ranged from bland to plain nasty. I tried the clams, which were made with I think lemongrass (?) which tasted very weird. The curry lamb was also inedible. There is a large dessert table, and I tried to sample each thing on it but it was mostly bland. They also have a waffle station, which was left unmanned when I was there. To get a waffle made fresh just ask one of the ladies working in the open kitchen. However, go for the whipped cream and stay away from the ice cream as it was bitter. I have never had bitter ice cream in my life!
Around 9:00-9:30 they started cleaning the kitchen and no more food came out. The place was not busy to say the least. I give them points for trying to serve expensive items such as lobster, crab and lobster soup in a buffet format, but the quality is just not good enough. For the price ($21.99 each on weekend night) you could go for much better Japanese AYCE or a decent meal at any other Thai/Malaysian/Chinese place.
