| - A sushi buffet in Ohio? Whaa? And in Parma? (and where in the world is Parma?!)
After being disappointed that Seoul Garden was closed on Mondays (sheesh!), we headed over to Watami...as it was 1.4 miles away. We all drove over to Watami, hidden away in a strip mall.
As we were a group of 7, I thought it would be hard to seat us. To our surprise, we were seated right away. The restaurant is quite spacious, with tvs lining one side (where Monday night football was playing).
We all went for the buffet. On one side, there's a sushi bar- multiple types of sushi, sashimi, etcera being made.. with lots of choices.
The other side of the buffet had the hot foods- a tad more unique- fried frog legs, oyster, mussels, various types of fishes, dim sum, your typical fried rice and random noodles, etc.
The grade of the sushi...wasn't the best. I mean, it was definitely cool to have all the choices- kudos to that- but grade.... the rice in the sushi wasn't being held together all that well, and the fish..just wasn't that fresh.
The hot stuff...was your typical asian buffet fried food- it was okay.. but.. not my fave.
I, however, enjoyed the assortment of ice cream. Green tea, vanilla, etc..with random pieces of cake were really good! The rice pudding..not so much.
Not so great. I mean, it was okay? And the company I ate dinner with were good? The food..not so much. However, props to the wait staff- they were fast and efficient. My fellow buffet-arian next to me commented on how he "liked to see the stacks of plates pile up.. to show how much you eat at a buffet.." but our plates never stacked up. Props.
So, for a buffet... I mean, it's what you expect for an asian buffet in Ohio. For authentic-ness, not so great..but meh, it was okay.
