Listed as a top 5 buffets by the Food Network, this place is pretty decent, but the food is of course buffet quality, but pretty damn decent for $11.95 lunch and $20.95 per person dinner. It is located one block away from the promenade, and remember not to fill up on too many drinks, which they will refill quickly to try to fill you up. A decent meal that will fill you, but of course nothing amazing.

The best thing is the sushi with salmon, yellowtail, red snapper, scallops, squid, salmon roe, sea urchin, cooked shrimp, octopus, fresh water eel and vegetarian sushi. They also have various cooked seafood, as well as chicken terriyaki and other asian dishes, and some delicious fresh fruit,

The service is fast (you serve yourself, and they try to fill you on drinks) and the food is decent, so it is worth it if you are hungry.
