| - AYCE that is decent quality is hard to come by these days - Aji Sai was no different. I remember when all-you-can-eat was such a great bang for buck, the varieties were great and the large group was so happy - especially the kids.
The one advantage to taking kids (of a reasonable age) to AYCE is that they will take care of themselves. The waiters will serve them, everything you can pick off the menu is already included in the price, and there is no concern of there being not enough of anything. My little cousins were veterans - knew exactly what they wanted and only that, with no room for error. The rest of us browsed the two-page list slowly and debated over sashimi counts, maki rolls, and appetizers. Overall, nothing was horribly bad, yet I struggle to say anything was good at all. The sashimi was limp, the rolls all tasted like California rolls, and the various appetizers were drenched in the exact same watered-down sub-par teriyaki sauce. I was told the hand rolls were horrid with chewy seaweed.
All that said, quite a number of people were visiting on a Friday night - I suspect it was due to the convenience of accommodating large groups and varying appetites, and many tables had many children.
I won't be back! Unfortunate, given the plaza is actually a prime location that could be so much more...
