Came in on their third day and there was probably around 5 other tables here. There aren't any entrances from the mall so I think it could be quite hard for this store to get some exposure.
In general the food was pretty decent. It reminded me alot about the other sushi buffets like kiku and 168 sushi buffet. The iPad app is literally the same so it's probably owned by the same franchise.
The stuff that I liked:
- Salmon belly (cooked)
- tempura
- katsu
- skewers
- hand rolls (surprisingly good)
- desserts and ice creams
Stuff I felt could use a bit more work
- the ramen ( not enough flavour, same with the soups)
- sushi was decent but it's a shame there isn't tuna (the red one).... No sashimi.
- I appreciate that the soy sauce tasted decent as well since I find many places dilute their soy sauce which really turns me off..
- kalbi (this is a huge issue because I absolutely love the kalbi at kiku and 168, the ones here do not offer the best cut of meat and is drenched in abit too much sauce)
- steak (same comment as above)
Both sushi and the meat are essential dishes to nail in order to succeed well at a sushi buffet imo..
Overall the service was very good. I found it funny how all of the servers are on their peak performance since it looks like both of the managers are at the restaurant training. Contrary to the comment below, I found it great that the servers came often asking how we are doing, filling up water and even explaining the dishes. It really surprised me since the level of service one would expect at a sushi buffet to be very low.... But at heart sushi the food came fast and the service was great.
If they work on the quality of the sushi and meat I'm sure I will come by often since I work at the office close by with my coworkers. Might even consider investing in the VIP card too..
