There were also au gratin potatoes, but without cheese sauce, and likely other options I didn’t notice. I found the sweet and sour soup flavorful and consistent. The salad bar was decent, and there were a couple of sashimi options at the sushi bar. The lemon cake at the dessert bar was tasty, and there was also ice cream available. My friend ordered iced tea, but they informed us they were out of hot tea. However, partway through our meal, our server came by with a pot of tea, which was a nice surprise. Thankfully, it wasn’t green tea (which I don’t care for) but a robust black tea. For two people at 3 PM, with a meal and two beverages, the total was $29 including tax. I thought this was a great price for the variety and quality of food available.
