| - Buffets are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get.
168 Sushi Asian Buffet just recently opened in the area, service to the Yelp community I volunteed myself today to try it for lunch. :)
The restaurant offers Thai, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese selections. Majority of the food is orderable a from a menu except for soup/salad/dessert which is available at a stand-up bar near the front of the restaurant.
The interior is spacious, decorated in dark black and purple colours. The restaurant is located in the corner unit of the plaza with large windows bringing in sunlight from all around. There's a variety of seating arrangements available: rounded booths, table seating, and bench seating. The music playing was pop contemporary. In the back corner there's sushi chefs visible.
Experience:
On the menu, it says "all you can enjoy" :) ha-ha not all you can eat...
Ok this is what I find, depending on the party you go with, some go buck wild and order everything on the menu and your table end up with mountains of food that no one wants to eat. This isn't the way to go about with buffets in my opinion.
.
From chaos, there is order. I suggest picking things that are agreeable with others you're going to share with. Order a little bit: sample appetizers, hot foods, sushi, stir-fried dishes, to get a feel. Compose a meal.
The first round my parents got their early and it was too late. A mish mash of all kinds on the table. Second round I ordered and set it straight.
In short nothing I had here was exemplary or memorable and I am taking into account that this is a buffet not a fancy shmancy gourmet restaurant.
ie. Tempura was dripping of grease, the Terriyaki Salmon was not fresh (they re-made it right after mentioning this), Terriyaki Beef was round steak and tough, Japchae noodles were so soyed, Pad Thai had no taste to it, Sui Mai tasted of the frozen variety. The sushi though was alright. Spicy Salmon roll with crunchy bits tightly packed not too much rice. Avocado Sushi Pizza, and Egg Sushi tasted good and were presented well.
Wait service was very good though; they were quick at clearing dishes, listened to feedback and did something about it, topped off our teas voluntarily. But some were a tad too chatty.
Granted for the person who doesn't eat Asian food may not know the difference of authentic foods may like it. Where it's located demographically, there isn't that much of a population of Asians to be critical to it.
I'm a believer of if you're going to do something, do it well. My suggestion would be to cut down the selections and offer up some quality not just quantity.
