I guess this place is most famed for its buffets so that was the option we went for. How it works is that they give you two pieces of paper: one for hot foods which you're allowed to order 8 items once, and another for sushi which you're allowed to order as many times as you want. The hot foods were decent, the typical chicken teriyaki/yakitori/katsu, prawn tempura, fried pork/squid, miso soup, and various vegetables which I'd imagine have never been ticked. Most of these were deep fried and the quality was average, nothing to write home about. The sushi selection was very limited and salmon-based: salmon nigiri/sashimi/iso, California/avocado/cucumber rolls, etc. "Crab" simply meant processed crabsticks and there was no prawn/tuna/eel/octopus/hamachi in sight. The quality of the sushi was not bad, again nothing special but the fish was fresh and the portions were generous. When they say all you can eat they really mean it. You have an hour and a half (plenty, trust me on that one) and you can repeat orders as much as you want. You will leave feeling stuffed. Towards the end of the evening we were simply sending off order after order of salmon nigiri and sashimi with complimentary gari and wasabi. The décor was certainly very drab and plain - white walls and basic furniture in an underground basement, really not recommended for impressing a date. But then again, why would you bring a date to a buffet? For £14.80 (plus mandatory 12.5% service charge), it's not too bad, warrants a visit but I wouldn't really go again.
