I got a little nervous walking in when I felt like I was walking into a Claim Jumper. I asked our hostess if this used to be a CJ and she said yes at the exact same instant the question became irrelevant - I saw the 'deer antler chandelier' that is classic CJ. This place took over the restaurant and did ZERO to change the interior. Uh oh....
I took the kids up to the buffet and after the first pass things got better. They were in heaven. Fresh fruit, noodles, many kinds of shrimp, miso, tempura, hibachi, mandarin chicken. They can be picky eaters but we fully content.
As for me, I tried a bit of everything. The crab legs were small and unsatisfying, but the warm bar was good, hibachi was good, but my favorite was the sushi. They mostly have rolls but they were all good. They even have a bottle of spicy mayo that you can add to you plate.
Unique pricing for kids....$.90 cents a year under twelve. Very reasonable.
Overall we were impressed and satisfied. Giving it 4 stars now because sometimes when your expectations are low you don't get the real picture until you visit again. So we'll try it again.
