| - I tried to take advantage of the Tuesday night dinner buffet deal, but I ended up leaving after trying to make my way through the congested parking lot. I eventually came back for lunch on a Friday, and the crowd was much better. The place itself looks very nice on the inside.. definitely one of the coolest looking buffets I've been to. Atmosphere was excellent and everything was very clean.
The sushi selection was very disappointing. I usually like to start off buffet meals with a plate of sushi, but I couldn't get close to a full plate here. I only found 3-4 rolls that interested me here. I have a feeling that the sushi selection at dinner is much better. The quality of the sushi seemed to be about average as far as buffets go. The cooked foods were a little disappointing as well. Most of the options were generic Chinese dishes that I tend to avoid at buffets. The grilled section was pretty good. The best thing available here was the grilled salmon. The skin was crunchy and the fish was cooked perfectly. I also enjoyed the grilled udon.
The noodle station was probably the highlight of the meal for me. The handpulled noodles were delicious, and the spicy soup was very tasty. There was almost always a line because they make everything to order, but it was worth waiting for. The dessert section was also really good. Everything I tried in this section was great, and I found myself wishing I had more space in my stomach to try other desserts. My favorite item in this section was probably the waffles. They had a person making waffles (4 small waffles at a time), and I thought that was a nice touch. I remember grabbing one of the freshly made waffles and inadvertently squishing it with the tongs because it was so soft. I added a scoop of vanilla ice cream to the waffle with some sprinkles, and it was amazing.
Overall, my lunch here was decent, but it definitely could've been much better. The prices seemed about right to me, and the service was on point. I'm not sure if I would come back for the lunch buffet, but I would definitely be willing to give this place a shot for dinner (assuming the parking lot isn't as crazy). The Friday night oyster special sounds pretty cool, and I hope to try it one day.
