this is the former Misaki Buffet . i believe one of the 2 owner/investors wanted out and thus the name change. there's less sushi than there used to be and no nigiri pieces. it's all the same American / Americanized-Chinese food on the buffets. A highlight (to me anyway) is the steamed tilapia along the far wall side. A lot of the rest is just sysco / pre-fabricated re-heated food, clearly ...
it was initially $6.99 but they just raised the lunch (m-f) price to $8.99 as of January, 2016. I suspect it will continue to rise until they notice people aren't coming as often. To be honest the food is not really worth any more than the current price and you can have the proper real-deal sushi experience at places like "Oriental Buffet" on McKnight Road or Hokkaido Buffet in the East end near the Waterfront area. They are a dollar or 2 more for lunch but are definetly better in quality (and atmosphere) The problem with this space is that it's the former Tambellini Italian restaurant with all the requisite tacky Italian ristorante old school decor and embellishments. This gets on my nerves but clearly the new owners are not interested in re-doing the interior. The lighting can be very dim, too. Yellow-ish lights . Not particulary conducive to eating fresh food, imo . You can see that they truck in the kitchen employees all at once from who knows where. I just hope they are being paid fairly and reasonably .
The only reason I patronize this place is that it's very close to where I live . Otherwise i'd head to other area buffets like The Mintt (Indian food) and the aforementioned places.
On a last note - sorry to be judgemental but you will see a lot of obese urban-types streaming in . White black and every other racial persuasion in between.. . downtrodden, unhealthy looking and annoyingly loud. It can be off putting . in other words, ghetto idiots coming down the hill from Beltzhoover/Mt. Oliver/Allentown/Carrick/Overbrook & etc slum-hoods ... (there, I said it .)
