text: Wow.....I am taken aback by the number of high ratings for this restaurant as compared to my experience.   And here's MY bottom line up front:  if you are going here because you are a sushi lover, SAVE YOUR MONEY.  For the price of this dinner ($31.95/person for dinner Sun - Thurs) you can go to a very good sushi house and get your fill of really good sushi.  Folks, this is an all you can eat Chinese buffet with more sushi type offerings than most, but it is NOT great sushi at all.  I am giving this a \"2\" rating because it wasn't bad, it just wasn't good, nor do I think it lived up to its billing. \n\nAtmosphere:  Based the on line photos on on their website we assumed that this would be a somewhat upscale place.  We assumed wrong.  It was ..... an all you can eat Chinese buffet,complete with food on the floor, paper table covers, and located at the entrance, but inside the shops on the Miracle Mile at Planet Hollywood.  Dress ranged from cutoffs, muscle shirts, and flip flops to khakis with button down shirts and dresses.\n\nFood Presentation:  We arrived at 8:00 PM, and although the buffet continues to seat people until 9:30, we were surprised to see so many empty or close to empty trays on the buffet, and many weren't restocked while we were there so it is hard to say how good the buffet might have been if it was fully stocked.  \n\nSushi:  The sushi was okay, but was in no way close to really good sushi.  The pieces were small which was okay since you can have as many as you want.  They were not well put together, and most fell apart when you picked them up from the buffet line.  If they didn't fall apart there, they certainly did when you tried to eat them.  Several pieces were tasty, but most were very bland with little flavor.  The texture ranged from marginally chewy to almost grainy.  The salmon was by far the best piece we had.  \n\nRolls:  There were lots of different rolls available, but the labeling of the offerings was all messed up.  California rolls were marked as spicy tuna, and something labeled \"Shrimp Tempura Roll\" was ..... well I don't know what it was, but it was NOT shrimp tempura.\n\nSeafood:  For a place that bills itself as a \"Sushi and Seafood Buffet\" there wasn't much seafood beyond the sushi.  They advertise dungeness crab as a major offering, but the crab legs were only served cold, not hot.  And they were so salty that a salty food lover with us said that it was TOO salty even for her, so I didn't even try it.\n\nSalads:  The salads presented were also \"okay.\"  Frankly I wasn't very interested in eating too much salad in an all you can eat sushi and seafood buffet,.\n\nHot Food:  The hot food was \"okay\" as well, but again, it was NOT great.  There was a station presenting hand carved prime rib,  pork roast, and grilled sausage, except that there was no one manning it, so you couldn't have any.  I waited about five minutes at the station, making eye contact and waving to every employee running behind the station before I finally got someone to come over.  And it looked like these offerings had been under heat lamps for many hours and perhaps they were because the meat was very dried out.  There were several  trays of baked fish and other hot entrees that had only a very small amount of leftover food on them, and what was left there was dried out and very unappealing.  Perhaps they weren't going to refill these until someone took the last remnants, but looking at the dried up remnants on the corner of a large tray made me decide it wasn't worth trying.\n\nDessert:  This was both a high and low point.  There were a number of good offerings in the dessert line, the chocolate covered strawberries were really good.  there were also a couple cookies that were very tasty.  The low point here is that they offer a \"build your own crepe\" station which looked great.....except that they didn't have anyone manning it to make crepes, rendering it useless.
