New No Da Ji Restaurant

has anyone found a replacement buffet sushi restaurant for no new da ji? Pros: used to be great Cons: new owner = not worth going more

I have been eating here since 2004, and have watched this restaurant change hands many times. But no matter who is in charge, I have never left disappointed or hungry. If you are skeptical about a sushi buffet, give this one at least one chance. Even if you aren't all about the sushi, buy a buffet meal and you will get plenty of variety with things other than sushi (delicious bean sprouts, steamed mussels, BBQ ribs, glazed chicken, etc). I have taken friends along for the dinner buffet, and even those that were totally against the sushi idea still ate well and left with loosened belts! If you want to interact, you can sit at the sushi bar and have your rolls made to order right in front of you. While sitting at the bar I have sometimes been treated to exotic delicacies by the chefs. If you prefer a more intimate atmosphere, take a seat in the dining area and you will still be waited on by the friendly staff. About mid-meal, you'll be brought out a plate of complimentary steak which is always my favorite part of eating at The Daj. I would recommend this restaurant to those looking for a great sushi place to call their own. Pros: Buffet is the #1 pro, service is friendly, price is fab! Cons: Selection on the sushi buffet could be bigger more

Well, not _all_ the sushi... I went to NNDJ last week after a several-week hiatus and immediately noticed something was different when I entered. It was virtually empty, the usual staff was not there (save Julio) and the vibe was, well, there was none. When I got to the sushi end of the buffet, excited to load up on niguri sushi, there was none to be found. Instead, there was a small variety of maki, nothing special, and half without fish in them. Julio immediately explained that there were new owners. And just like that, this may be the end of the Daj for me. As you can imagine, no more complimentary BBQ beef, no more complimentary sushi salad. The service was uninspired. This was not the same New No Da Ji. Pros: reasonable variety for a buffet though not high quality food Cons: No more niguri sushi at the buffet; no more complimentary beef or salad; hot food lackluster; mediocre service more

I was there a couple days ago and they lowered the price for lunch AND dinner. Now it is more affordable to eat there often. They also went through some changes on their menu. Now, they have the best hot food which they rotate everyday. The restraunt is very close to the inner harbor so I can easily come and enjoy the all-you-can-eat buffet while in town. I encourage everyone to try this place!! Pros: friendly employees, fresh food Cons: none! more

I've never been too big on buffets as the food is usually only half decent at best. A good friend told me about New No Da Ji and the sushi they had there. Well, I've never been much for sushi!!! I thought OK I'll please him and go there with him for lunch. WOW!!! Authentic Korean food!!! I spent a year in Korea and it's hard to find a Korean restaurant let alone a good one. Everything was great!!! The only thing other than the sushi that I haven't had there was a salad, well, it's not Korean and I'm not going to waste space with a salad!!! They have a ginger/cinnamon drink that is free and rather spicey, too much for me so I add some water to it and it is very good. Lunch for $9.00 and dinner for $17.00. Dinner is exactly the same with the addition of marinated grilled pieces of steak that are to die for and all the "" giant "" snow crab legs you can eat. They have a very good selection of sushi but watch out for the one that is round and lays flat and has a dark red sauce on it as we laughed with a couple sitting next to us last night as the wife ate one and she said it tasted great but as it went down past the back of her tongue it started to burn and she was on fire!!! LOL!!! Bring the hose!!! LOL!!! I have been there enough times that I have met the owners and they themselves and the waitresses are all very friendly! As soon as you get up they take your plate and are attentive. You can sit at the bar and watch TV also. I said to the woman that owns ( probably 65% of it... LOL!!! ) that I was going to sit at the bar and watch TV until I could eat more and she told me that was OK we are open until 10:30!!! LOL!!! Pros: Food is really very good at a very low price. Cons: I can't eat but so much!!! LOL!!! more

Ok, I'm a regular at this place. Pros: Quality, Freshness, Selection Cons: Ambience and Proximity to other diners. more

I knew this was a great place when I ran into a friend there who mentioned that his family has been eating here for over ten years. The sushi was fresh and varied. There were lots of different types of maki, including my favorite one, rainbow roll. What I really liked is they kept varying their choices and each time I went up to check out the selection, there was something fresh. The Korean dishes were also delicious and plentiful. Parking was easy on Saturday night and the wait staff was friendly and accomodating. We will be back soon. Pros: sushi, value, clean more

We have been going to this restaurant for over 20 years. We have always had very fresh shashimi and sushi and love the neighborhood atmosphere of this restaurant. I have never had a bad meal here and will continue to patronize this restaurant. The prices are more than reasonable and when I go else where I am shocked at what is passed off as good sushi. If you ask they will let you know what is especially good tasting that night... Pros: The food is wonderful more

I have very unpleasant experience in this restaurant because they demand and add tips on my bill even though my group was only 3 people and it was Buffet. Cons: bad service attitude, unclean environment, not enough selection on Buffet more

The restaurants attempts to add a 20% tip to the bill when you pay. They do not tell you they havd added it, and when asked why, they say it is mandatory. Pros: Price Cons: Tipping and Attitude more

They have great Korean barbecue which they bring one dish to your table to be wrapped in lettuce leaves and dipped in a sweet sauce. I recommend asking for seconds. This is the best thing they serve. The sushi is definitely below average. Anyone who says that it is fresh doesn't know their sushi very well. Be careful, but everything else is much better than your average Asian buffet. more

This small buffet was surprising in terms of the quality of the food. The dishes served were excellent, and the assortment was reasonable and satisfying. I would much rather eat here than at a larger Asian buffet serving mediocre food. It's a good value, too. Pros: Good quality Cons: No desserts more

Although the decor and the location does not add to the place, the sushi is better than any other sushi place in Baltimore area. It is by far the freshest and best tasting in the area. Others may have better ambience and brighter atmosphere, but if want the best sushi in baltimore area, this less known restaurant is hard to beat. Pros: Fresh sushi, Fresh sushi, Good value Cons: Decor more
