Another NYC Question

[txrandom]

I have a strong hankering for sushi, and I'm looking for a place to glutton myself with it. Anyone have some recommendations for some good places?

I checked google, but the reviews are pretty spread out.

 

[Pepsei]

in reno, tahoe, a few years ago, have really good all you can eat sushi at the waterwheel for $20..... you'll probably spend more money in nyc....

 

[SaoFeng]

in orange county ca there is a great place called joes sushi. ..you'll probably spend more money in nyc....

 

[Zim Hosein]

I have yet to find a good "all you can eat" sushi spot here in NYC txrandom, so I'm interested as well!

You're a funny guy. Such a thing does not exist in NYC. Best you can hope for is really cheap rolls at a chinese place that has mexican's preparing it.

Basically any "Empire" chinese restaurant will have cheap $4 crappy rolls made by mexican's and also some places out in queens and fort lee. You could not pay me enough to eat sushi from any of those crappy places though.

You came to the wrong place if you want to be cheap.

Wow a complete fail for someone from NYC.

Yes, NYC does have an all you can eat sushi place and although I haven't eaten there my girlfriend has. I have eaten at other locations of the http://www.todainyc.com/]Todai Sushi[/url] chain restaurant in Portland and Honolulu, although not amazing it is better then supermarket sushi. I would rate it about average for a sushi restaurant. Plus it has more than just sushi, including lobster, BBQ pork, Hibachi grill, and crepes for dessert. It seems to be the perfect answer to what you want.

Prices:

Lunch $15.95 (Mon-Fri)
$17.95 (Sat & Sun)
Dinner $25.95 (Mon-Thurs)
$27.95 (Fri-Sun)

Heh, i guess they do exist, i've never seen one before in Manhattan. I'll admit that i'm not exactly out there searching for buffets though, since they are definitely not my kind of thing.

Still good to know, Thanks.

Nice, I might hit this up Saturday for lunch before Summer Stage.

for 'cheap' sushi, i like to go to sharaku in the east village. they have this one deluxe item on the menu that is double the size of regular sushi. mMmMmm

 

[troytime]

there's a couple giant chinese buffets that i went to last time (both named the same, but one is "east" or something)

they had great sushi...wasn't really cheap though (like 20 per person if i remember)

I mentioned them in a previous NYC thread...but now i can't remember the name of the place (and i'm too tired to look it up)

 

[Zee]

any japanese buffet would have it like minado

 

[Doodoo]

Todai and Minado have below average sushi...pretty good food for a chinese buffet though.

If you're paying $15.95 for all you can eat sushi in NYC you're getting fish that was rejected by the cat food factory.

Check chowhounds.com, they know food.

 

[loup garou]

Yuka

Funayama (on Mon & Thu)

Co Co

Not all you can eat, but Yama's pieces are enormous, you will get stuffed easily.

 

[sniperruff]

todai's sushi tastes like crap (went to the one in mid-town). im sorry, but all-you-can-eat is always a rip-off

 

[Injury]

The best I can tell you about is a Chinese restaurant that gives you free boxed wine and fills up your carafe constantly.

Box wine isn't that great, but it's fantastic when you're looking for a cheap dinner and you're going out to get smashed later.

 

[txrandom]

I guess I'll just wait until I get back to Houston and get some good sushi from some of the local places I know.

I disagree, Yuka and Funayama are pretty damn good. AYCE BUFFETS are to be avoided, though.

check out st. marks for some better japanese and korean restaurants. go on friday/saturday nights and you won't be disappointed.

 

[hiromizu]

For decent but cheap sushi I got to Shiki Kitchen on 1st ave. betwen st. marks and 9th.
