Isn't all sushi "all you can eat"

01/18/2007 Lisa "One Day at a Time" T. says:

Wouldn't any Asian buffet have sushi? I'm thinking of my favorite one in Fremont, Pacific Buffet. I mean, it wouldn't be fancy but it would be sushi ...

01/18/2007 Gur "SinFUL" E. says:

Scruff -- right.

I meant to say all u can eat for one price.

01/18/2007 Justin "10%" L. says:

Try looking up "Todai restaurant"
I'd give their sushi 2 1/2 stars and dessert 3.5-4 stars.

01/18/2007 Michaela S. says:

Satsuma does this Sunday nights for $18 or so.  I've never done it, though.  

Apparently they make the rolls to order, which sounds way better than premade Todai trays.

01/18/2007 Fong "all night Fong" L. says:

today yes, but it kinda sucks.  there was one in like san mateo or san carlos that was OK called hokkaido....
but there was a better one with a funny chinese name--can't remember the english name.  meant "eat til you were happy and satisfied"

01/18/2007 Gur "SinFUL" E. says:

Thanks all, I will check into all your suggestions, for now I am writing the names on the stick pad.
cheers

01/18/2007 Pren N. says:

how often are "all you can eat" restaurants truly places where you actually want to eat all you physically can?

01/18/2007 Gur "SinFUL" E. says:

The Fongz L. -- Which city is this place with the funny chinese name?
one more hint needed.

01/18/2007 Gur "SinFUL" E. says:

Prentice --  The idea is not to pig out, the idea is to try sushi that we would not try a la carte 8-)

01/18/2007 luis .. says:

there are a couple buffet places in Fremont too.

01/18/2007 Gur "SinFUL" E. says:

the people I am going with are from the peninsula /PA/MV area.  I prefer to go there as it is better than 3 people driving seperately to East bay.   But then I should make them drive all the way here, I am doing all the leg work.  Damn those friends who cannot drive to East Bay. ;-)

01/18/2007 Gur "SinFUL" E. says:

Luis -- Names of the buffet places please, thanks

01/18/2007 Fong "all night Fong" L. says:

guri, I think it was in san mateo.  chinese name was "chi1 de guo4 ying3" or "chi1 de mi2 huo4" or something like that.  eat til you're confused or eat til your satisfied.  something like that.

01/18/2007 Fong "all night Fong" L. says:

all the good ones are in san mateo, san carlos I believe.

01/18/2007 Fong "all night Fong" L. says:

hokkaido was like right next to an ice skating rink.  they also had raw oysters there.  I was pigging out on those.  their sushi selection was eh.  you also get a half lobster per person.

01/18/2007 Gur "SinFUL" E. says:

The Fongz L. -- Thanks, this helps a bit.  Cheers, G

Yess, my exact thoughts when I entered this thread.  A++

01/18/2007 Gur "SinFUL" E. says:

Lisa and Tien -- You are both right.

I was looking for something like Satsumi that has rolls made to order.  

Thanks

01/18/2007 JeFF T. says:

In Fremont...

Pacific Buffet is at Stevenson/Fremont Blvd.

There's a buffet at Blacow/Mowry where BevMo is.

There's also one at Fremont Blvd/Peralta.

I've not tried any of them before.

01/18/2007 Gur "SinFUL" E. says:

Thanks Luis,

It seems that Pacific Buffet is the nearest for me. Lisa and Tien have good reviews of this place.

01/18/2007 luis .. says:

they have mac n cheese and pot roast at pacific buffet!

01/18/2007 Shannon V. says:

Hokkaido sounds like it totally fits what you want. Their all-you-can-eat sushi was pretty fresh and yummy. The other buffet stuff is yum too.

01/18/2007 Tracie "Swrkr" P. says:

matsusono in burlingame is all you can eat sushi and everything.

Crazy Buffet - Sunnyvale locations (not the Winchester location, yuk)... they've got a lineup of sushi there.... amongst dimsum, mongolian, korean bbq, chinese, etc etc etc.

01/18/2007 Jane D. says:

I think the place is called california buffet on sunnyvale saratoga...eat at your own risk.

01/18/2007 Greg "Secret Assistant (to the) Regional Manager" Y. says:

It's not all-you-can-eat, but Hanamaru is pretty good and reasonably-priced: http://www.yelp.com/bi...

Sushi Factory! I dug it. tons of choices made to order

01/22/2007 Fong "all night Fong" L. says:

if you go to a sushi-boat place like Ariake, it'll be made to order pretty much, will cost about the same, and you'll get better fish usually.

01/22/2007 Brenda Kaye "B.K. Whopper" W. says:

I agree that Pacific Buffet in Fremont is good, as far as Asian Buffets go.  It's actually mostly Chinese food, but they have sushi also.  It's also really cheap--about $13 or $14 for dinner, I think?

01/22/2007 JeFF T. says:

I saw an ad for King Buffet...somewhere in south SJ.

03/07/2007 Michaela S. says:

FWIW, we tried the AYCE night at Satsuma this Sunday and were satisfied with what we got.  They DO roll everything fresh; the trick is you can only order two rolls per person at a time (well, this makes sense so the sushi chefs don't get totally backed up rolling you five things).  This also helps you pace yourself.  I was getting full after the first round, unfortunately, but I powered through.  

They don't have the fanciest of their fancy rolls on the AYCE roster but they do have the Rainbow Roll, Sunrise/Sunset roll, a bunch of deep-fried rolls (mmm...deep fried spicy tuna), so it's not all California rolls and filling up on rice (though I actually think Satsuma makes a more than decent CA roll).  The spicy hamachi and the tuna/hamachi/ebi combo roll was pretty popular at our table.  It's not the absolute best raw fish in the world but obviously it's WAY WAY WAY better than Todai.  

The price is $19.95/person now.  I had 4 rolls of my own plus stealing pieces from others at the table so I think I broke even.

03/07/2007 JeFF T. says:

rolls?  what about nigiri or sashimi?

03/07/2007 Michaela S. says:

Nigiri and sashimi cost too much for all-you-can-eat, I think -- the closest they had was the rainbow/sunrise/sunset rolls (CA roll layered with fairly decent sized slices of raw everything).

03/07/2007 Keane L. says:

Fuji's.. in Davis. I guess that's far.

05/08/2007 Samantha P. says:

I saw you said YOUR in the East Bay, so in case you want to go somewhere with friends in that area here are some places to try:

Kaigan in Vallejo -
This was the first place I tried in there area, mostly because I felt like this was one of the few places I wouldn't get shot walking back to my car LOL. Anyways, it was really price, but recently they created an ALL YOU CAN EAT lunch (made to order style) for only $8!!!!
I went with my bf and roommate, and we probably ate over $100 worth of sushi and other goodies (not just sushi on the menu, you can get appetizers and bento box type dishes too) for less than $30 bucks.

Bay Sushi -
In fairfield, 14 for lunch, 18 for dinner, made to order style with specialty rolls, nigiri, no non sushi items though. Also they tend to add lots of rice, I usually just hide the extra rice as I stack up plates with big parties. Also, they tend to get slower and slower with your rolls as you order more and more, like they want you to stop eating, but it just makes you more hungry. If your going for lunch, I suggest going before 1:30 or else you'll only get to eat like 2 rolls for 14 bucks (not a good deal)

Hisui -
In Vacaville, they have an all you can eat boat special, 11 for lunch, 22 for dinner, both are great, i love their sauces =) the quality of the fish is worth the price, but if you go after 8pm (closes at 9, or 930) then you wont get full bc they stop making sushi (or you could eat the stuff thats been going around that no one wants which isnt good either!)

One place thats cheap in the South Bay/Pennisula area to try is Hana Maki - SO GOOD AND SO CHEAP. Get to go and go home and relax =) or go to the drive in with awesome sushi.

GOOD LUCK ON YOUR SEARCH!

Sushi O Sushi in Santa Clara is the bomb!  Not all you can eat but good for groups and used to have the filler freshy fishies!  Now I know what I'm getting for dinner.

Hokkaido in San Mateo and Moonstar Buffet in Daly City -- All you can eat seafood buffet w/sushi!  =)

05/08/2007 Ari C. says:

I don't usually trust sushi/rolls/anything raw at buffets. But Hokkaido has those clams with creamy stuff on top. They're orgasmic and about 5000 calories each.
