| - I drove by this place the other week driving to the Waterfront (my first trip there). I'm not from Pittsburgh. I checked it out on Yelp and decided to give it a shot. Everyone's reviews were right on.
There is a lot of high quality Sushi. The Hibachi grill had a good selection of vegetables and meat. This is the first one I have ever seen with Shark. I was pleasantly surprised to find crab legs that weren't waterlogged (like many other buffets). There were numerous shrimp dishes, crabs, oysters, frog legs, mussels, clams, calamari. For non seafood people there was a decent number of chicken dishes. I don't recall seeing any beef or pork dishes. They had several soups; I tried the clam chowder which was very disappointing.
There was a carving station for beef - didn't see anyone going there. Plenty of Asian appetizers and a few American dishes (pizza) - which I didn't pay much attention to.
The deserts consisted of a chocolate fountain with marshmallows, poor quality pineapple, stale rice crispy bars, bananas, and something I couldn't identify. They did have fruit (melon, kiwi), jello, ice cream, rice pudding and the usual boxed cakes/cookies you see at Chinese Buffets.
Servers were friendly and refilled drinks quickly. $18 is a little pricey for a buffet but I wasn't upset paying it. Beware they charge $8 if you waste too much food. I wonder if they have ever charged anyone that.
