Maybe this restaurant has so much business they don't need anymore because the person answering the phone is certainly turning people away before they even get in the door. I called for reservations for Fathers Day and got the rudest person who obviously did not want my reservation. I asked her what kind of food was on their buffet and her reply was "Same as always". I asked if she could elaborate more and she said "seafood buffet". I tried once more asking what was on the menu and she was obviously annoyed as she replied emphatically, "SEAFOOD BUFFET!" She must have thought I had a hearing problem. Well, I think they don't need my money.

Have eaten there quite a few times and it's always good food to eat. There is a good selection on sushi, sashimi, salads, cook to order and hot food items. The buffet is always well stocked with the food especially the crab legs. They are couteous and quick to make you happy. Have never waited more than 10 minutes on my reservation. The music is plesant as is the lighting. Sometimes hard to manuever between the tables, but the customers are friendly. The made to order sushi is right on!! I don't eat dessert too often but what they have to offer is small and light and not too heavy to eat after a good meal. I'm going to keep going until otherwise. A big favorite gfor my husband and I and the guests I have taken there so far.
Pros: any seating within 15 mins of my reservation is good, and there's is
Cons: parking is difficult

Ate here for lunch today. For $12.95 all the fine sashimi, sushi, shrimp (many ways) crab legs, kalbi ribs, pepper steak, clams, mussels, noodles, fine rice, desserts....oh my!! Food was absolutely excellent too. Not the typical all-tastes-the-same buffet fare. What a bargain and under $15!! Evening has a made to order menu...how anyone could eat more is beyond me!! Dinner is $25. Clean facility too. Clean bathrooms. Efficient staff. Why aren't you there already???
Pros: Unbelievable selection of food!
Cons: banquet seating
