ToDai: Japanese Sushi and Seafood Buffet (website)
The formula for a good buffet is max(food variety) + max(food quality) + min(cost).
I went to ToDai once last year with my cousins, and it was good enough to make me go back again with my mom. It was fully booked every single day, and only for those who made reservations ahead of time were allowed to queue up in the very long line.
Since it did not take place in a splendid hotel restaurant, there was no chef slicing sashimi, roast beef, or opening raw oysters. Even so, there was one cutting mid-quality lamb leg, one making pancake, one making temaki zushi (hand roll sushi), so it was still fun. Food quality was not bad, not hotel-class either, but it cost less than $20 CAD for lunch, what more could I expect.
I was very pleased with their dessert section. There were many different kinds of cheesecake, six flavors of ice-cream, salad, pudding, chocolate moose, make-as-you-order pancake, and lots of many other delicate confectioneries.
Overall, I would recommend it because it does not hurt your wallet and the food variety is unbeatable. Last time I checked their website, Vancouver was listed under “Opening soonâ€. Well, not anymore. :downer_ee:
The End Punch
About 13 people were hospitalized after eating at this restaurant in the same week I went. :sick_ee:The place got shut down immediately on the weekend. Hong Kong is so troubled by imported seafood at the moment.
was that all your plates? amazing.
Oh, I had more than that.
Of course, I wasted a little. :rasberry_ee:
