At first glance this is a standard buffet; however, the selection and quality is a step above making the value well above the price- which is already slightly more than reasonable. Sushi and sashimi was great, main dishes fresh and clean (not over sauced or too garlic-dependent), and the salad/dessert options more than ample. Will go again when back in town.

One of the few remaining affordable buffets that offer Snow Crab Legs (Friday - Sunday only) in OC. I came on a Friday evening, and restaurant was 90% full capacity. Cold crab legs alongside hot fried crabs. Eight flavors of ice cream for dessert. Excellent value for the price!

I had high hopes for this place, especially since lunch prices were more affordable. The sushi rolls were very fresh, and everything appeared to be quite clean. However, I found the seafood options to be limited, and the clams didn't taste fresh. There were also other food items available, such as pizza and chicken fingers for kids. Overall, it was an interesting experience, but I'm not sure if I would go back again.
