"I don't get some of the other reviewers here - It's amazing how people will find any reason to give a low rating. I came here twice on two different occasions and I have never seen such a good deal for the price. I pray they don't increase their rates! The food is very diverse, pretty good quality, yummy, satisfying, filling, very healthy. I wish they had their own seating area (you have to sit at tall tables in the lobby area), but I can't dock off stars for that because that's not necessarily their fault.I can't wait to go again!"

"If your craving sushi, this is the go to place if your around this area. Pretty much the typical sushi taste you get from anywhere else, but it was delicious! We got the salmon lover, and the tiger roll special. Very nice that it came with soup. The places I usually go to never offer additional soup with the meals. Overall, great place if you are wanting sushi, and the building is so fancy."

"Doesn't get much better than this.....of all the salad/deli chains in the city, this is the creme de la creme. I decided to review this particular one because staff was friendly and food options were fresh/delicious/diverse. Notable favorites: Baked salmon (warm) and cold tofu w/ soy sauce (cold) and baked mushrooms (amazing)."

"GOOD: Fine selection of fresh, good quality vegetables The salmon is surprisingly knock-out good for a buffet The yakisoba is delicious Pretty decent teriyaki chicken BAD: The "Asian-style" meat dishes like orange chicken and pineapple chicken all taste the same - like ketchup. Boo! If you show up between about 12:00 and 12:45, the line will be long, but it moves quickly."

"They are pretty good. I wish the ranch was better, use hidden valley. Anyway, pay by weight, and hot food line can get pretty long, while the salad bar line is pretty open. I wish they had more ham and turkey for a chef salad but they had pasta salad and shrimp and tofu. They have plastic gloves for people like me. Checkout line moves pretty quickly and the owner is nice. I will come again when hankering for a big salad."
