12/07/2026: A classic location, the same as all the others. Overall, the food isn't bad, but be patient; the service is incredibly slow. I don't think I'll return.

11/07/2026: It was truly a wonderful surprise. We'd tried practically every Chinese and Japanese restaurant in the area, and this was at the bottom of our list. I must say, it immediately rose to the top. The restaurant is family-run, and this is evident in the prices, which are slightly lower than average, especially for coffee, desserts, ice cream, and other small additions that can significantly increase the final bill at many restaurants. The quality was decidedly high. The sashimi was served in large pieces, the fish seemed very fresh, and overall, you could sense genuine customer service. We didn't have the feeling, as happens at other all-you-can-eat restaurants, that the staff was trying to slow down or limit orders. Here, you can easily order whatever you want, without any resistance. There were three of us, and despite ordering less than usual, we were completely satisfied. The only thing that could be improved was the service during busy periods. At the beginning, we were almost alone, and we were served very quickly; However, when the restaurant filled up, the wait times took considerably longer. The staff apologized several times, so it's clear it was a particularly busy day. To order, you're given the traditional paper menus and have to give the dish numbers to the waitress. We're used to tablets or phone apps these days, so this system took us back a bit. When the restaurant is full, it can also become inconvenient, as you have to manage to get the staff's attention. At one point, we had to call the waitress a couple of times, as they rarely looked our way. Despite this, the experience was very positive: excellent quality, generous portions, fair prices, and a family-friendly atmosphere. We'll definitely be back, this time to try the evening service as well.
