The staff worked hard to keep the buffet stocked, but the food ran out quickly—people must have been quite hungry that day! The quality of the food was decent. The sushi mainly consisted of rolls, mostly variations of California rolls, some topped with different sauces or wrapped in various ingredients. To get sashimi or nigiri, you need to order them separately. The tuna and salmon were fresh. The cooked dishes were also reasonable, featuring a lot of deep-fried options like chicken, gyoza, fish, and vegetables, along with Korean bulgogi. I may consider returning on a quieter day when I won’t have to compete for food!

None of the images on the menu reflect reality! They promote an all-you-can-eat concept, but in reality, there are very few options available. You’ll find less than 6-8 basic sushi options, and the BBQ offerings are pre-cooked beef and pork. Additionally, the raw sushi is left out all day, which is unsanitary and could lead to food poisoning. I'm sorry, but this is my honest opinion—this restaurant shouldn’t be in business! The only positive aspect was the friendly and welcoming hostess, which is why I’m giving one star.

For 30$ a person you basically get one plate and one sheet with a couple items once and if you ask them for the sheet they'll take 10 minutes or longer to pick it up then another 15-20mins to bring the food. They also claim to have all these items on their menu and don't even have half of them, I called and asked if the Korean BBQ is self cooked on the table and was told yes we get to cook it. When I showed up it was just an paper you write on for how many you want then they bring it so it was not what was said to me and the issue of ordering was horrible. I'd save the money and go else where, I've ate here 4 times in total and everytime its horrible so I'm done eating here and just letting people know.

Selection was very limited!! We were never asked if we wanted something other than self serve water. No tofu or green onions in the bland miso soup. The ladies bathroom reeked!! Spider webs in the corners with dead bugs under it (it had been there awhile). We will not be going back.

Menu on the website is not even accurate. They advertise that the dinner menu includes shrimp tempura but the didnt have any. There were lots of items on the website menu that weren't available on the buffet.
