When we arrived at the restaurant, it had a cozy and spacious atmosphere with a cool ceiling display, and we were excited for the meal. We ordered the all-you-can-eat sushi and were handed three order sheets, followed by a lengthy 10-minute explanation of how the system worked. Even after the explanation, we had to ask at least five more questions, as the rules were quite confusing.

The first sheet, which listed the appetizers, could only be submitted once. The other two sheets had to be sent in two rounds, but there were further restrictions. For instance, some items could only be ordered once per person, and there were more limitations beyond that. With all these restrictions, it didn’t feel like a true "all-you-can-eat" experience.

One of the servers was kind enough, but the other seemed like she didn’t really want to be there.

We eventually placed our order, trying our best to get it right. The sushi was beautifully presented, but unfortunately, it was so dry that we could barely swallow it without drinking a lot of water. This was really disheartening, as we were looking forward to the meal and had ordered quite a lot.

The appetizers were decent, but sadly, the sushi quality dragged down the entire experience.

Went with 4 friends and waited 45 minutes for the starters to arrive, after another 20 minutes some sushi arrived. Huge pieces 90% rice. The rest of the sushi came some time later. Almost 2 hours for the first order to arrive fully. In the meantime we ordered things that never arrived, drinks included. Once we asked for the bill someone came to control we ate everything we’ve ordered (even if took 2 hours for the whole order to arrive) and because there were 3 pieces left they wanted to charge us for the full roll. Disastrous.

We do love a buffet, and so agreed we would go into this place one night. So glad we did! Whilst its not your 'normal' buffet, and there is rules around over ordering (rightly so), this restaurant had the best food, and most friendly atmosphere.
The rules of ordering were initially a little confusing, but once we knew what we were doing we were well away!
100% recommend a visit!
