The Journey is THE best buffet in Madison. The other contender (I am looking at you "World") does not even come close.
For the price you pay (9$-13$) this place provides:
-sushi
-crawfish
-stone crab
-octopus
-shellfish
-mussels
All of which are of decent quality and taste.
This is a buffet - not a 5 star authentic Japanese restaurant. Out of all the buffets I have been to (around 10 across the country) this one provides the best value by far, which is what you should be looking for when you go to a buffet.
it sickens to me see people complaining that some item out of a hundred on display was not "authentic" enough. Get real. Authentic ethnic food does not cost $12 for all you can eat.
