Hi Kevin:
For a moment I was trying so hard to think what you were referring to until I realized you were talking about the Fish On Rice on Broadway! No, we had never been to Shin Ju before. Is that Japanese AYCE?

[...] places are concern. I am comparing the size of this place with places we had been to before like Fish On Rice and Kingsway Sushi. E-Bei was packed when we were there and there was quite a bit of a wait line [...]

Not AYCE, but Zipang Sushi on Main is supposed to be good – haven’t tried it yet though.

Thanks Ed. Been by there many times (I work at Metrotown) but never gone inside. Makes for good place to go sometime.

^Agreed!
Hi Genki is great.
We covered a few months ago: http://eatsnaprepeat.wordpress.com/2008/04/08/hi-genki-when-you-dont-have-a-japanese-grandma/

Ben/Suanne, you should definitely check it out :)

Agreed with LotusRapper. Whenever I go with friends to an AYCE sushi, it is mostly to try different things, knowingly the quality is not necessarily high. Where else could I have motoyaki, gyoza, fried chicken and sashimi? I know, it is really odd to mix baked, pan-fried, deep-fried and raw…

Having said that, Ben, Suanne, in fact, anybody, if you are in the Metrotown area around lunchtime and Japanese food, I will have to suggest you visit “Hi Genki” located next to the National Nikkei Heritage Centre (6680 Southoaks Crescent – half block south of Kingsway, between Gilley and Griffiths). It seems they are part of the same group as Fujiya.

Ed more or less nailed it. I will eat AYCE not for the quantity, but only for the freedom of being even more “picky” on only the items I want. Quality over Quantity.

However many of the Vegas casino AYCE buffets that Ben covered on previous threads DO look good.

There are many good Mother’s Day AYCE brunch buffets around town too. But sadly that is perhaps the worst day to actually be at those venues due to the crowds.

AYCE Sushi is horrible.
I used to love it when I was a teen with an endless appetite, but not anymore.

Why stuff yourself with below-average food when you can, for the same price, fill yourself up with some authentic Japanese food? I think it’s mostly for the younger crowds who place more value on quantity than quality.

Great review though. I agree about the horrible service.
