ROTTEN SALMON. Took one bite and spat it out immediately. Put me off for the rest of the meal. Food poisoning is on the menu at this place.
I'm not a picky person by any stretch of the imagination, and honestly would never set my expectations high for an all-you-can eat sushi place, but I was hungry and I thought it would do the trick. When I was done gagging from the salmon, I went downstairs to discreetly tell the sweet waitress that their salmon was well past its expiration date. I informed her of the fetid fish in a way so that the other patrons wouldn't hear my complaint. To be fair I've eaten here once before and the food was alright. I figured they were just having an off night. The waitress was very kind and came to apologetically clear my nearly untouched plate. I finished my vegetable tempura, didn't touch any more of my fish rolls and went to pay my bill. The owner of the restaurant was at the cash as the waitress handed me my bill. I told them that all I'd eaten was the tempura, miso soup and salad and asked if they could give me a reduced rate on account of the bad fish. The owner refused, told me not to worry about it and said the salmon was fine. I expressed my dissatisfaction and finally dropped $25 on my $20 bill (having worked in restaurants for 10 years, I didn't want to stiff my waitress. It's not her fault that the owner doesn't give a shit about his customers). $25 for some mediocre tempura and a horrible taste in my mouth that I can't seem to shake.
Suffice to say I'm never returning to this restaurant again and neither should you, if you care about your health.
