My wife and I ate here for the first time tonight and brought some visiting relatives. We went here specifically because we wanted crab legs, so I called ahead and verified that they had crab legs for dinner. I neglected to ask if they were steamed (or heated in any manner) so we were disappointed when we got there to find that the snow crab legs were on ice. This also meant that they were very watery. They did have hot dungeoness crabs on the buffet line, but they were a little heavy on the butter for our taste and not extremely flavorful. I am not a sushi expert, so I won't go in depth on that. I thought the sushi was OK, but I wasn't overly impressed. Nothing that we had from the buffet line was worth mention. We were at least somewhat pleased with the deserts. They weren't something that would draw us to a restaurant, but each of us did have several of the small desert portions. The service was pretty good, in that they cleared plates quickly and kept our drinks topped off.\r

In conclusion, we did not feel that meal we got was worth the price. We may be somewhat spoiled since we recently visited Phillip's Seafood Buffet in Washington D.C. The meal we had there was incredible and the cost was nearly identical. All things considered, we don't plan on returning to Todai.
Pros: A variety of deserts
Cons: Cost, snow crabs legs on ice rather than steamed
