"My kid I stopped here for lunch at the suggestion of a good friend and we were not disappointed at all and were definitely full at the end of our meal.We both ordered the all you can eat option and we were ready for an adventure. The first thing that was a little confusing and was not explained at all by the server is that this is not a traditional buffet experience. You are handed several special paper menus and two pencils in which you would mark down what you wanted and then it would be prepared and brought out to you. This was very confusing to begin with since we did not know the etiquette at the restaurant and did not want to offend or look foolish.Once you place your order your food is prepared and brought out to you the food was quite enjoyable but unlike a traditional buffet where you could try one piece before going back for more you have to order entire rolls for most of the menu options. The option on the menu is 1 appetizer, 6 sashimi and 3 rolls of sushi and a desert as a standard order. THIS IS A LOT OF FOOD!We ended up trying to order a second time with less things chosen so that we could get our money's worth but when you realize you are charged extra for any uneaten food, normally .50 per sashimi and a dollar per roll. This can add up fast. Also, on a lot of the rolls are very thick with an unusually large amount of rice being used. Now I have to say we were impressed by the flavors we encountered, the food was very good but when you look at the investment it comes up a little short. Two all you can eat meals are $23 each, two sodas is $6, we ended up with uneaten food at the end that cost us an additional $6. All in all at the end of the meal we ended up spending just over $60 for two people.We are going to try a different location next time to see if this is the standard practice or just for this particular facility, but if you are hungry go ahead and stop by for the experience, but bring a full wallet to cover the cost."
