First off, you can't complain the like jenle about having a service charge for large groups. ANYWHERE you go there is a service charge, and it's usually 18% not 15%. You thought you could avoid it by splitting your bill? That's so cheap and dishonest, of course they're going to add 15% to each person's bill, 15% of $100 is still the same as 15% of four $25 checks, genius.\r
Now down to the important part, which is the food. The buffet section is set up so that most everyone in your party can find something they love. Sushi selection at dinner is amazing, it would cost you $200 to eat like this at a normal sushi place and that is NO exaggeration. My faves were the rolls, but my group seemed to gobble up the sashimi the most, They've also got a pretty good selection of cooked stuff and salads, the best was the fresh teppanyaki grill where they grill stuff fresh for you. The dessert section is really good, almost feels like one of those fancy hotel brunch layouts with the variety of desserts. Service was pretty good for the most part. I don't think people know how hard it is to handle so many plates, tables and drinks all at once. We had to wait a little sometimes, but the managers where always around when we needed them.\r
Food quality and selection seems really important here, and they maintain cleanliness pretty well. Overall a pretty good blend of being an upper-end atmosphere without being snobby. Customers seemed pretty dressed up for this place.\r

We got great service for our party of 18, and no we didn't pay 15% tip. We paid 15% plus another 5% because the whole experience rocked. My whole party loved it and has been bugging me about going back ever since.
Pros: Amazing selection of food for the price. Value cannot be compared to anyplace.
Cons: Was a little busy when we went so it seemed kind of crowded.
