SUSHI BUFFET\r
Those are two words which really should not go together, because sushi goes bad pretty quickly and develops that ugly fishy smell. Tokyo One's sushi rollers are right there at the sushi buffet counter making more sushi, as the ones there move fast.\r

The place has the old standbys (california roll, spicy tuna, etc.), however they also offer a wide array of unique delights. There are multiple varieties of fresh sushi, sashimi, and seafood salads (try the squid salad if you're brave enough). If that doesn't catch your fancy you can try a wide variety of hot foods including grilled chicken, lamb chops, salmon steak, customized soups, and lots of hibachi goodness. The only thing I don't like about the food is the strange smell that collects around the deep fryer, possibly due to the kind of oil they use.\r

During dinner hours and lunch on the weekend they have a ""Shabu Shabu"", which consists of a portable stove and pot filled with soup brought to your table. You can dump all the raw meats and vegetables into the pot for boiling to your liking. I didn't see what the big fuss was about, but my friends were having a ball with it.\r

Desserts are rather uncommon, but not unwelcome. Along with creme brule, flan, and tapioca there's also some bizarre deserts like green tea cake and Japanese lime cheesecake. Don't forget to ask about their ice cream flavors including such yummy oddites as green tea and red bean (trust me, they taste better than they sound).\r

The atmosphere is very pleasant, with very prompt service. Japanese artwork decorates the dark wood paneling on the walls, and for some reason the restaurant has wooden shutters on the windows. The place is very clean, and has no fishy smell at all.\r

This is a great place to go if you're just get acquainted with sushi and don't know if you'll like it. It's also a great bargain compared to normal sushi bars.
Pros: Prompt service, thrifty meal for sushi
Cons: strange smell coming from deep fryer
