Oliver & Bonacini Café Grill (Bayview Village)

A friend of mine recommended me to try out O&B Cafe Grill for quite sometime now and after doing some Christmas Shopping at the Mall, we decided to stop by their Bayview Village location.

 Thankfully on this busy Christmas Eve, they had a table for 5. My sister ordered the Fettucine Alfredo (3/5), made with egg noodles, Parmigiano-Reggiano cream and peas, topped with roasted chicken. For $16, this was a fairly decent portion. The noodles were nice and tender, but I was not a fan of the sauce as it was tasteless. The chicken was quite dry as well and the peas were hard.

Both my mom and brother had the Sunday Special [$23], which was a Roasted Black Angus Strip Loin, with Yorkshire pudding, Buttermilk mash and Pan gravy (3.5/4). The strip loin was cooked to a perfect medium rare, and was juicy and tender. As you can see from the picture there was a layer of fat that had to be taken off. You can also see the burnt baby carrot on the left, I mean this ain't no 5 star restaurant but how could you miss that ?! The buttermilk mash was nice and creamy and the Yorkshire pudding was crispy and very moist on the inside. We had to ask for more of the Pan gravy, as the dish was kind of dry.

I had the AAA Canadian Cheeseburger (3.5/5) [$17], which came with a huge pile of Yukon Gold Fries. Although I asked for it to be cooked to a medium rare, it came almost to a well done, but was still very juicy. It had a nice char on it, which I enjoyed. The fries were crispy and thick. I would've liked it if the bun was topped with sesame seeds.











My dad had the Piri Piri Half Chicken (3.5/5) [$24] with Roasted New Potatoes, Spinach, Artichokes, Tomatoes and Zucchini. There was an option for mild or spicy, and my dad opted for the spicy. The Chicken came on a sizzling hot plate, that did not sizzle at all when it arrived. The Chicken was overcooked and dry in some areas, while it was moist and juicy in others. The chicken and potatoes were both aggressively seasoned which my dad wasn't a fan of as it made him want to drink water every 10 seconds.


For Dessert, we decided to try
the Four Tasting's of Chef's Favourite Desserts (3/5) [$15.25] which consisted of a Mini S'more, Lemon Posset, Carrot Cake & little Eton Mess. My favourite out of the four would have to be the Carrot Cake as it was light without being too sweet. The Eton Mess on the top left was tasty as the Toasted Meringue added a nice crunch. The S'more was a tad too sweet in opinion, especially with the toasted marshmallow on top and the berry compote. The Lemon Posset looked very good, but I was disappointed instantly when I put my spoon in and noticed how watered down it was. Instead of a nice creamy, smooth custard like texture, this was

literally like liquid milk and I could move my spoon around no problem.
There were no traces of lemon either except for the zest on top. I would like to give it a rating of (1/5), because honestly it was that bad.

We had two scoops of the Passion Fruit Sorbet (3/5) [$7.25], which had a better consistency than the Posset did. The flavours were very strong which I enjoyed.


The food my family and I had here was quite substantial, and definitely did not wow us. For the price, we did expect a little more presentation
as well as consistency, I mean who
wants a half an inch of fat clinging on to their meat?
Or burnt baby carrots? Small fixes would've
done the job. The staff were friendly, but we did
have to ask 3 people to fill our water as they forgot.

The Good:

• Nice Vibe
• Spacious

The Bad:

• Need to be more consistent
• Food is quite average
• Pricey for the quality

Shake Shack (Theatre District, New York City)

The first place we went to, as soon as we got to New York City, was Shake Shack. We had to try it! One of the most popular burger spots in America, Shake Shack offers a variety of Burgers, Frozen Custard, Milkshakes, French Fries and even Doggie Treats for your furry friend.

The line was huge when we got there, which is not unusual especially during the lunch hour. It was so busy, we had to order our food and eat in the car. We ordered the Hamburger (3/5), with Lettuce, Tomatoes, Pickles, Onions and Shack Sauce. As you can see from the picture, only the Tomato and Onions are visible as they forgot all the other toppings we wanted! What a disappointment. We even asked for extra Shack Sauce, but sadly we didn't even get a tiny bit of that! The burger patty was very juicy and tasty and the bun had a nice sweetness and a soft texture. Pretty sure it would've been a (5/5) no doubt if it had all the toppings we wanted.

I was thankful they didn't forget our French Fries (4.5/5) as these lived up to the hype and were very crispy and nicely salted.

I can definitely see why Shake Shack is so popular, as their food is well worth the price and
executed well. Argh, just wish they included everything we wanted on our burger!!!!

The Good:

• Well worth the Price
•  Tasty Burgers and Fries

The Bad:

• Can get really busy, so long waits are to be expected

East Japanese Restaurant (Midtown West, New York)

After a long day at Central Park, we were quite hungry. My mom suggested we try the sushi spot we passed by earlier in the day. Located between Broadway and 8th Ave, East Japanese Restaurant is a small (We passed by twice, until we finally found it) but cozy sushi spot, tucked in between two Italian Restaurants.


We squished our way through to the back of the restaurant which was surprising quite spacious. We started off we the Deep Fried Squid (3/5), which really were just squid tentacles. The squid was flavourful, but the texture was too soft for my liking. These were quite soggy as well.

 We ordered the Sashimi Platter (3.5/5), which included Salmon, Tuna, Toro, Scallops, Octopus and Yellowtail sashimi. I loved how each piece was nice and thick. They were all fresh tasting and didn't exhibit a fishy taste. The toro was fatty, but no the 'melt in your mouth' type, although it was still good.


 Our waiter suggested we try their Gyoza special (Chicken, Beef or shrimp). We went with their
Shrimp Gyoza (2/5), which was a huge disappointment
as the filling was literally like a mush, rather than
shrimps. But for $2.99 I can't really complain.
I would've liked the Gyozas to be crispier as they
were quite soggy. The sauce was nothing special as it was just watered down ponzu. Not a great start.



To make things even worse, the Chicken Karaage (2/5) fooled us, as it looked hot and crispy, but turned out to be
soggy like the other fried items. What a disappointment. The batter was way too thick and the chicken was dry and tasteless. 

Onto something that didn't disappoint us..The Dragon Roll (3.5/5), looked very pleasing as it arrived to our table. Topped with Avocado and Salmon Roe, the Eel on the inside was nice and flavourful and the sushi rice was beautifully seasoned. I liked how they didn't stuff the roll with too much rice, which many restaurants tend to do.


We ordered the White River Roll (2.5/5), which didn't look like a roll at all when it arrived. This was definitely a challenge to eat, let alone pick up as everything was falling apart. With the help of a spoon, which made things a tad bit easier, I was able to make out what
we actually ordered in the first place.
Essentially it was an eel and salmon roll, topped with tempura bits, pickled carrots, eel sauce and spicy mayo. This was quite tasty with all the components together, while the pickled carrots and tempura bits added a nice crunch.

East Japanese Restaurant has friendly staff, but their food is quite standard. The fried items that we had were very disappointing.


The Good:

• Friendly Staff

The Bad:

• Fried items were a disappointment
• Somewhat hard to find

Anna Maria Pizza & Pasta (Williamsburg, New York)

Prior to my trip to NYC, I made sure
I included about 5-6 pizza joints to visit during the week I was there. I mean, NY is known for it's Pizza. No? Anyways down to the food. After having been to Best Pizza twice in the past few days before, we decided to stop by Anna Maria Pizza and Pasta which was down the street from where we stayed.

Feeling somewhat guilty of breaking her 'diet', my sister went for the Vegetarian (3.5/5), which was generously topped with large slices of Avocado, Freshly Diced Tomatoes, Onions, Green Peppers and Ricotta Cheese. Even with all the ingredients and moisture from the veggies, the pizza was not soggy, and the crust was light and crispy. The sauce was pretty tasteless, but the abundance of veggies made up for it.


I went with the Buffalo Chicken Pizza (2/5), which was too salty in my opinion. The pieces of chicken were very dry and the large amount of cheese added more saltiness to it.
The pie itself was again nice and crispy.

 
On the other hand, we really enjoyed the Chicken Parm with Spaghetti (3.5/5) as the noodles were nice and tender, and the Chicken Parm was nice and Crispy even under the amount of sauce. The sauce was nice and zesty and did not overpower the dish.


Anna Maria is a decent spot for a quick snack or lunch fix, and they offer a variety of pizzas and pastas. The staff are friendly and the service was quick when we were there. They have a few tables for dining in and their decor isn't the best of the best, but for a quick slice, it'll do.


The Good:

• Great for a quick bite
• Friendly Staff
• Authentic

 The Bad:

• Space is small, especially during busy lunch hours.
• Food is average

Lemon Tree

Located right outside of First Markham place, in the never ending row of restaurants ranging from
sushi to Chinese desserts, Lemon Tree offers a wide selection of Vietnamese and Thai favourites.
Today, we came for the Pho. Still on the hunt for the best Pho in Markham....and in Toronto now...we were hoping to add a small and cozy spot like Lemon Tree to the list.


It was a Tuesday, on a cold autumn evening, and the place was packed! They only one chef and one waitress for almost 20 people, and it took at least 45 minutes for  to arrive.
My sister went for the Rare Beef Pho (3.5/5), which was quite tasty as the broth was piping hot, while it was mild and full of flavour. It wasn't overly salty either and had a hint of sweetness from it which was good. There was a decent amount of rare beef, but it was oddly chewy and not tender at all. I was not a fan of the noodles, as they used dried rice noodles instead of the fresh ones, which in my opinion makes a big difference.

 I decided to have the Cooked Beef Pho (3.5/5), which again had the same mild broth. I love to have Cooked Beef instead or rare, because it is usually brined prior to being sliced, which adds a ton of flavour. In this case, the beef was nice and fatty and somewhat tender which was good. Again, if they had used Fresh rice noodles instead, I would've enjoyed this dish even more.

 
Lemon Tree is a decent place that bowl of Pho you've been craving all day long.
They have enough seating for roughly around 30 people, but their service is slow (Might be different on less busy nights).Lemon Tree deserves a revisit for their other dishes next time.

The Good:

• Nice Broth
• Average Portion Sizes

The Bad:

•  Slow Service
• Noodles might need a little work

Miller Tavern (Hogg's Hollow Yonge Location)

 Miller Tavern has been around for many years, with locations in the heart of Downtown Toronto on Bloor, and North York. After a shopping trip at IKEA that was close by, we were fairly hungry,  and wanted to catch the Leafs game so we decided to stop by Miller Tavern for Lunch.


To start, we had the Miller Lamb Poutine (3/5). 
Aside from the fact that the fries were crispy and
were made out of Yukon Gold Potatoes, there was
absolutely nothing special about this dish. Not that I was hoping there to be something special anyways....but for the $12 price tag..this most certainly was not worth it. The lamb was dry and chewy and and the cheese curds were not squeaky at all. The lamb gravy had no taste and was fairly bland. For $12, I could've gotten 3 even tastier poutines at New York Fries... Just Saying.....
But hey at least the Leafs were winning!

The Tenderloin Steak Kebab with grilled vegetables, pecan wild rice and avocado yogurt sauce (4/5) was a great hit. The 10 oz tenderloin steak was grilled to perfection, slightly charred on the outside, while maintaining it's tender and juicy medium rare interior. The grilled vegetables were tasty, although I would've preferred bigger pieces, as they were sliced quite thin. The pecan rice was decent, but was chewier for my tastes. Loved the avocado yogurt as it was both light and refreshing.












Both my siblings decided to go with a burger each, starting off with the Miller Burger (3.5/5), made with freshly ground beef, topped with aged cheddar, smoked bacon and caramelized onions. The patty was thick with a decent char on the outside. Although slightly overcooked, it was still juicy. My sister was not a fan of the tiny piece of smoked bacon, but the caramelized onions were nice and added a nice sweetness to the burger. she opted for the Sweet Potato Fries (3/5) instead of the regular
yukon gold fries and was quite disappointed because it was soggy and not quite crispy at all.

My brother on the other hand, went with the
Cheeseburger (4/5), which was much better than
the Miller Burger. Made with the same thick fresh ground beef patty, this was charred nicely on the grill and was cooked to a perfect medium rare making it more juicy. My brother decided to stick with the Yukon Gold Fries, and they were pretty average, like the ones in the Lamb Poutine. They were definitely crispier than the Sweet Potato Fries which are a plus.

My mom had the Chicken Penne (3.5/5), which
was quite tasty. The pasta was cooked to a perfect
al dente, and there was enough sauce to ensure it
wasn't dry. The chicken was juicy, but out of the whole dish, we only found like two pieces. This was
quite substantial, but it did the job.

My family absolutely loves deserts, especially
cheesecake, so we got two to share. The Berry Cheesecake (4/5), was creamy and smooth, while
maintaining it's soft texture. The berry compote
topping wasn't too sweet, so it didn't overpower
the taste of the cheesecake. The cheesecake itself
was light, so it wasn't very overwhelming. The graham crust was so not thick either, but still ensured that the bottom was not soggy.

The Raspberry Sorbet (4/5), was light and refreshing without being too overly sweet. It had the right amount of tartness, and was bursting with flavour. For $7.50, I would say it was quite pricey, but nonetheless it was a great way to end the meal.

The Deep Dish Peanut Butter Pie (3/5), was too sweet for our liking. Composed of a cookie crust, the pie had a Reese's peanut butter cup flavour filling which was quite tasty, but really it was one
of the sweetest deserts I've ever had. I think everyone needed an extra glass of water after this. The brown butter Bourbon Creme anglaise was light, but it didn't really add much as the whole pie itself was overpowering with it's sweetness.

The Vanilla Creme Brûlée (4/5), was much better as it wasn't overly sweet and was nice and smooth. The sugar crust on top was very well done as it wasn't too thick and cracked with the touch of the spoon. The vanilla custard had a slight bitter taste to it which I enjoyed as it balanced the sweetness.

The Banana Caramel Crunch (3/5), on the otherhand, was not that great.  Composed of popcorn and a scoop of vanilla icecream topped with bananas, caramel syrup and a layer of chocolate, this was quite disappointing. The popcorn was soggy and chewy due to the large amount of caramel syrup, and overall it did not have that crunch the way it was advertised. For $8.50 this was totally not worth it, and I am glad it is only on their seasonal menu.












Miller Tavern is a decent place for a quick bite, especially if you're looking for a nice steak or fresh seafood. Their servers are very friendly and the seating is cozy. It is quite pricey, but the ambiance makes up for it.




The Good:

• Portions are Decent
• Servers are Friendly

The Bad:

•  Quite Pricey
• Food is inconsistent at times

Costco

My family absolutely loves Costco. I mean, how can you not like free samples and wonton noodle soup sold in bulk? Seriously, those must've been the worst wontons I've ever tasted, by the way.
After our weekly shopping trip at Costco, we would ALWAYS stop by for a snack.



We decided to get the Poutine (4/5), as we were craving their fries.... and what's not to love that's covered in hot gravy? The fries here at Costco are absolutely delicious. If you have not tried the french fries at Costco, I suggest you immediately catch the next flight to the closest destination with one. Crispy, piping hot, these are #1 on my list. These aren't the fries that get soggy after 30 minutes or so. They retain it's extra crunchy exterior while being fluffy on the inside. The gravy on top was nice and hot, and it wasn't salty at all. Definitely went great with the fries. The cheese curds on top could've been melted a bit more, but these squeaky curds were a delight.

 We also decided to have the Chicken Strips & Fries (4.5/5). For $5.99, this was a heck of a deal. There were 5 big pieces of crispy fried chicken strips in this massive portion, along with their ever so tasty fries. The chicken strips were juicy and crunchy, not dry at all. The fries were hot and potatoey, just the way it's supposed to be done.







Costco's Food court is definitely a place to check out, if you like a decent and quick bite. Their hotdogs are quite tasty too, for only $1.50 and a fountain drink. If you want to satisfy your sweet tooth, they also have a selection of sundaes and ice cream which are creamy and smooth.

Congee Queen

Congee Queen has been opened for many years that I know of, and ever since they have over 6 locations around the GTA. The locations I frequent most is the McCowan/Hwy 7 and Leslie/Hwy 7 Location. Most recently they opened a new location right by Centerpoint Mall on Yonge/Steeles, so
we decided to check it out.

Being at Congee Queen, we must order a bowl of
Congee. Our go-to is the Pork Meatball and Liver Congee (4/5). The Congee itself had a nice consistency as it was neither too thick or too watery. It was flavourful, with the addition of Pork Meatballs and Liver which are great for dipping in Soy Sauce. They do not skimp on the ingredients as you can see in the picture.

A favourite of ours when we visit Congee Queen would be the Fried Chili Turnip Patties (4/5). These are pretty popular at Congee Queen as you can see them on almost every table. I've tried these at 4/6 locations, and I honestly have to say there are some differences. One chef let's say, might be heavy on the chili's while another isn't. Although there are differences, they are small and these tasty patties are always executed properly. At this particular location, this was done right, as the Turnip Patties were Crispy and there was a decent amount of Chili's, meat and egg. This wasn't very spicy which was nice and it was seasoned well.

Another favourite of ours, would be the Deep Fried Crab Claw (4.5/5). This isn't like the average crab claw you would have at Chinese Weddings or events. These are HUGE! I have pretty big hands and all I can say is these are are big as my fist. These always arrive crisp and piping hot!











They do not skimp on the shrimp and crab meat, which is always tender. Add a little Vinegar and you're good to go!

The Beef Brisket and Tendon Lo-Mein (4/5) is another must order here at Congee Queen. With a choice of Thick or Thin Noodles (We usually pick the Thick), these go great with the succulent and tender brisket. The noodles were cooked to perfection as it wasn't chewy or mushy. The tendon is not overly soft or chewy and is always flavourful. The accompanying Wonton Soup was not overly salty.

 The Malaysian Fried Rice (3.5/5), smelled really good as it arrived to the table. The ingredients such as the minced beef and vegetables added a nice textural contrast as well as flavour, as the dish was not too salty. The taste reminded me of Salted Fish and Chicken Fried Rice, minus the salted fish. It was a bit on the oilier side, but nonetheless this was good.











Congee Queen is a great place for decent Chinese Food. They also have items such as Pho and Pad Thai which are definitely worth a try next time. Their service is quick and friendly and seating is usually always available, depending on which location you go to. (Centrepoint Mall and Hwy 7/ Leslie Locations are more spacious).


The Good:

• Great place for Decent Chinese Food
• Congee is not too watery or thick
• Quick and Friendly Service

 The Bad:

•  

Yamamoto Japanese Cuisine

I've heard a lot of great things about Yamamoto Japanese Cuisine ever since it opened back in early 2013. I know, I know, AYCE spots aren't the best places for authentic Japanese cuisine, but hey once in while (Always for me) you have that craving for sushi....what's better than AYCE sushi?! My family and I decided to drop by not once, but twice in a month (Pics are from both visits) to satisfy our cravings. It is fairly easy to find, located right beside Pacific Mall, tucked in between the stores and restaurants outside of Market Village, formerly in the spot of Mongolian Grill.


 **After our first visit, we were informed by one of the waiters about a coupon we could use the next time which would allow us to receive 10% off the entire meal, or a free sample of Uni (Sea Urchin). This coupon can be located in a CouponKing Magazine which can be found outside of Asian supermarkets such as T&T or
Oriental Supermarket, or you can call
them prior to ask about their new promotions.**




 On to the food shall we! We decided to get
a sample of their Uni (5/5). This was a generous portion even for 5 people, and judging by the looks it was indeed very fresh. Creamy, smooth and sweet, this was one very tasty and was a great way to start things off! This Uni in particular did not have that distinctive sea water
smell and taste some would have. I love their addition of the seaweed to pair with the Uni, as it
was crisp. This was one of the freshest Uni I've ever had, which I did not expect from an AYCE spot.

Next up, the Assorted Sashimi (4.5/5) consisting of Salmon, Hokkigai (Surf Clam) and Tako (Octopus). Again, this was glistening as soon as it arrived at the table, and it was definitely very fresh! The salmon and Octopus was cut nice and thick, and the salmon itself was nice and fatty. None of the sashimi had a fishy taste which was good.

Piping hot, the Gyozas (3/5) arrived next looking
nice and crisp. These were indeed very crispy
as they were deep fried and not pan-fried like
some Japanese Restaurants. The interior could
use a little more work as the minced meat and
vegetable wasn't very flavourful.

The next fried item that arrived was the
Deep Fried Cuttlefish Balls (5/5). These
are a must try in my books. Crispy, Crunchy
and flavourful, these deep fried balls of goodness
were loaded with tender cuttlefish pieces and fried to perfection. I just wished they had some kind of dipping sauce to dip these in! Maybe some sweet and sour sauce or plum sauce would've done the trick!

One of my favourite items to order at any
Japanese Restaurant would definitely be
the Deep Fried Shrimp Tempura (4.5/5). One
of my pet peeves when it comes to anything
that is tempura fried, is when it is battered too thick,
or is fried then served after a period of time which
results in cold, soggy tempura which isn't at all pleasant. That was definitely not the case here as the Shrimp was fried to a perfect crispy and was tender.

It was about time the sushi arrived! We got an
order of their California Rolls (4/5) and
Black Dragon Maki (4/5). One thing I enjoyed
is the fact that they do not stuff their rolls with rice. The California Roll was pretty standard but still did the job as the avocado, crab meat, tobiko and cucumber mix was creamy and crunchy. The Black Dragon Roll was very good as it was topped with Unagi (Eel) and avocado, and stuffed with Shrimp Tempura, which was still somewhat crispy. Their sushi rice is very flavourful and not hard or mushy.

We also tried their Ebi (Shrimp) Nigiri (4/5)
and Salmon Rose Sushi (3.5/5). The shrimp was nice and tender, which balanced well with the
decent amount of sushi rice underneath. The Salmon Rose Sushi was nothing special, as it really was just sushi rice wrapped in salmon sashimi, topped with a seafood mix of Octopus and Tobiko. Nonetheless, this was still very tasty and fresh.

Their Herb Salmon (2/5) and Albacore BC Tuna (3/5) looked pretty good upon its arrival to the table. Sadly, it was only mediocre, as the Herb Salmon was lacking the Herb Flavour and simply just tasted like a piece of Salmon Sashimi except it had a fishy taste. Not very pleasant. The Albacore BC Tuna on the other hand, was fairly decent as it was fresh and the accompanying ponzu sauce added a nice kick to it.

Luckily, the Deep Fried Chicken Wings (4/5)
arrived next, just as I was wondering if I ordered them or not. These were very juicy and crispy!
I think I burnt my tongue with the first bite as these were piping hot!










Craving some more sushi, we decided to try a few more of their
specialty rolls that being the (Left to Right) Spider Roll (4/5), Dynamite Maki (3.5/5) and the Mango Roll (4/5). These were all pretty good as the rice was not overcooked like and the ingredients were fresh. The Mango Roll was very tasty as the
Mango on top added a hint of sweetness and
was tangy.

We also ordered a combination of Nigiri's such
as the Inari (Sweet Tofu) (4/5) , Tamago (Sweet Egg) (4/5), and Sake (Salmon) (4/5). All were made with very fresh ingredients and there wasn't too much rice underneath which was a plus.

My sister, being the adventurous person she is, decided to try the Seafood Ramen (3/5). I mean, we were at a Japanese AYCE, how badly could they screw this up? It actually exceeded our expectations as the Ramen itself was tender and the broth was a nice miso base. It was a tad bit salty, but it was definitely decent for an AYCE spot. *Check out the size of that spoon!

Another one of my favourites that being the
Takoyaki (4/5), arrived piping hot like the other items we had. These had a nice crispy exterior and a nice and fluffy inside. The octopus ball was tender and this had a hint of ginger which I thought made the dish more vibrant. The addition of mayo on top I thought was unnecessary as it tasted pretty heavy with it.





The dessert portion of their menu is pretty standard compared to other Japanese AYCE spots, but they offer goodies such as the Creme Brule (5/5), Mango Yogurt (3/5) and Durian Mousse (4/5). The Creme Brule was incredibly delicious and well executed as the custard was not overly sweet and was the right texture. The sugar topping had a nice crunch and with a spoon you could actually hear it break through. This was even better than some of the Creme Brules I've had by far! The Mango Yogurt was pretty basic as it was essentially coconut milk pudding topped with Mango Puree. It was light and not too sweet. The Durian Mousse has the consistency of pudding than a mousse but overall it was very tasty as the taste of Durian was evident and it was very smooth.


My experience at Yamamoto during these two visits there were great. The staff are very friendly, but are sometimes hard to get ahold of as they are usually very busy, which is common for AYCE spots. The food here is very fresh, particularily their sashimi. All the hot items we've tried arrived piping hot which is a huge plus. One thing that they could improve on is making sure everything we ordered comes, as some of the items we ordered did not arrive at all even though we ordered it 2-3 times. Upon leaving, I noticed that they also serve A La Carte goodies such as specialty fish like Hamachi, Oysters, Toro, Kobe Beef and Etc. They also have Bento Box sets for lunch as well as Ramen combos. If you love a good AYCE spot, Yamamoto is definitely a place I would highly recommend. 


The Good:

• Fresh Ingredients
• Sushi does not have too much Rice
• Hot items come piping hot
• They do not skimp on ingredients

The Bad:

• Might be hard to get ahold of the staff
• Some ordered items might not arrive
• When they're busy there is usually a 2 hr time limit
