The food was pretty much cold and looked like it had been sitting all day. Sushi did not seem fresh. Hibachi grill looked good, but nobody was there to cook. Not worth the money but we were hungry.

I feel bad that I convinced my family to go here for dinner one night. We got one plate of food and opted to leave. The food is not favorable and not worth the money. The setup and dinning area is out dated. We also had a bug crawl across our table. I'm not sure if it was an isolated event, but we were already ready to leave. I wish I had chosen better for a special night, we will not be revisiting.

Run down, dingy and not worth the price. Some buffet items were cold, but clearly should have been hot. Mislabeled food, and general feeling of unpleasant. I hate writing crummy reviews, but it was crummy.

Food was absolutely horrible to begin with! Very cold and hard. Waitress demanded for tip yet the food was pricy and not even good. Waitress checked every receipt to make sure there was a tip. When you didn’t leave one she got all upset and made sure it was obvious she was upset.
