Run by Vietnamese owners so may not be 100% authentic Japanese. I stopped going here because the wait service was slow and they screwed up my order one too many times.

This Vietnamese buffet is similar to Korean BBQ places where you grill your own food at your table. It also serves a popular Vietnamese family style soup called Lau where a big boiling soup is placed in the center and you cook the meat and seafood and each person takes a little with rice noodle in their small bowls. The nice thing about this buffet is you only pay for how much you eat, you go to the back fridge, take plates of raw meat or veggies to your table and they count how many empty plates you have left to total your bill. Good for those people who don’t eat a lot.

It’s located next to the Coffee Factory, Taco Bell, and Quan Hop restaurants.

Pizza and Chicken Chopped Salad – All the pizzas here are good, some favorites are the BBQ Chicken or Thai Chicken if you tend to like Asian food. The BBQ Chicken Chopped salad is outstanding. Chicken Tequila Fettuccine was tasty but probably fattening. Shanghai Garlic Noodles terrible – way too salty.
