Disappointing AYCE experience.
The atmosphere was good, unique seating, nice lighting & decent noise level for a fairly packed time. One strange aspect was that half the restaurant has digital ordering while the other half has paper. The other strange thing was the TVs with the discovery channel on without audio. The service was better than our last visit though nothing to write home about, it was reasonably quick just no interaction with the server.
What disappointed was the food and there were a lot of problems on this front:
- Didn't taste all that fresh
- Ordered 12 pieces (2 orders) of Crispy Spicy Salmon Maki, received 6 pieces (1 order)
- Ordered Arctic Roll Maki (Crispy Salmon + Rice paper), it barely had any salmon and had Crab + Avacado instead
- Received errant order of cooked white fish
- Teriyaki Salmon was undercooked and/or dry & the teriyaki had been stretched to the point that you could barely taste it
- Yam Tempura pieces are twice the size of the dipping bowl making it frustrating to eat at times
The worst of it, that I wanted to highlight separately, is that there is fish substitution going on. I ordered Spicy White Tuna Maki and it was plainly obvious that a generic white fish of some sort had been served instead. It wasn't even a subtle substitution it was blatantly obvious from look to taste to texture that this was a cheap fish not Tuna.
Overall what we did like was average at best, what we didn't like was questionable as to how it made it out of the kitchen.
Would not recommend.
Update: The fish substituted was likely Escolar or there was spoiled product in our meal as 'laxative' like effects took hold later on that evening.
