Okay, time for an update...So this place is slightly better than it was a few years back. The service is somewhat better (apart from the waitress asking us if we're having the AYCE menu or not before we've had a chance to sit down and think about it). The one thing that I discovered on my last visit was that the $11 bento box lunch is a good deal. As mentioned in my previous review, there's no "Lunch Special" per se (oh Thomas Keller, don't get me started, but I digress...) however the bento box meal is pretty much that. The rice arrives in the shape of a heart, everything is fresh and well put together. So, for that, I've upped it by one star. Good times.
