| - Went here twice, first time I found it hard to get around to pickup for food if you have an injury to your leg or pull back in my case. A little pricier than I thought, however the drinks (except alcohol) are included. Very typical as compare to Mandarin chain, with the kids play area as exception.
The first time was a friend's daughter birthday. Plenty of room for large parties and other clients. My wife did not find their sashimi fresh enough and my little 2 yrs old picked up on it too. It could also be the kids playroom that distracted them from eating, because of this room, we as parent had to spend some times watching the kids. Other kids were very rude and physical, to the point of injuring themselves and other. Very filthy in this room as kids brought in food there as well.
The freshly pick your own fish, chicken or beef line was quite busy and very tasty. The dim sum section was OK not dim sum restaurant quality. Dessert was pretty good and fair size in selection as well. The kids definitely love this dept.
Our second visit was for my birthday, meal service was starting off great. Till I went to get the chicken skewers for my 2 yrs old. Luckily the kids wanted to play and it was my turn to watch them. My wife started to ingest the chicken then bit into a string of sheet metal. When we brought it to the waiting staffs' attention, the waiting staff was not very apologetic. The manager vow to investigate right away and came back with the reasoning that cooking staffs wore these steel gloves to protect themselves when putting the chicken on the skewers and this could be how that sheet metal string must have got caught in the food. Luckily, it is not my daughter that swallow it, nor did my wife cut her gums when she chewed the chicken. What was disappointing was they offered us two little glow in the dark dolphins for my kids and priced my wife's meal as children fare which is about 40% off. This incident really ruined my brother appetite and ended his meal then at only 2 plates of food ( he avg 4-6 plates). We have not been back there since July. I am not sure if we will. We told this incident to all our friends which is about 50 or so, everyone said we should have demanded free meal for her or me as it is a birthday celebration being ruined. My dad's decorum prevented me from taking matter into my own hand, since it was him that was paying for the bill.
I just hope Hockey Sushi survive them since it is just across the parking lot with about 10 time the space.
