   We visited the other night to try their AYCE option because they listed all you can eat Hokkaido Uni and Kumamoto oysters on their menu. However, upon arrival, we were informed that the Uni was out of stock and that it was not actually part of the AYCE menu as advertised. The cost per person is $58 and you get the buffet table, 1 alchoholic drink (soft drinks are unlimited) and unlimited seafood and meat (ordered via waiter/waitress) and an option to choose 1 of either Alaskan King Crab, Uni, O Toro Tuna, or Caviar, add $20 per person be able to choose 2 and get unlimited alcohol. We ordered The Alaskan King Crab, O Toro and Caviar. I suspect the "Alaskan King Crab" is actually the cheaper southern King Crab from South America as it was extremely watery and did not have the identifiable sweetness real Alaskan King Crab has. The O Toro did not look fatty at all or was a really low grade of tuna belly. The caviar was decent. While there were a lot of options on the buffet table, the food looked as if it had sat at for a while and was not appetizing. On a bright note, the snow crab was sweet and delicious. Service was slow as they only had 1 waitress on staff and she was also tending bar. We ordered Lobster Tail (Caribbean lobster), Japanese Sweet Shrimp, Scallops, Chilean Sea Bass, and Abalone from the seafood menu and can say the sweet shrimp and Chilean sea bass were great, the lobster tail, scallops and abalone did not taste fresh to us. For meats, we were informed they only cook their meats medium or higher which gives you an idea of the low quality of meat they use. The Lamb chops were good but everything else we had was just ok. The menu they have on their website feels misleading/false advertising as it states $78 per guest "includes all items above unlimited & all drink unlimited" but that's not the case. If you are on the fence about going here, just don't bother. We won't be back.

   The buffet food seemed as if it had been sitting for awhile, everything was dried out. The dessert was also very hard but our waitress was very nice and attentive. I went because it was advertised as a Ribbon so I thought the food would be fresh.

   Food was good, but nothing to write home about. Servers were all as attentive as they possibly could be, but the place was clearly understaffed & undersupplied. The bartender was also manning the host stand, for example. 20 minutes after seating, they were able to bring us one menu to share between my wife & I; there were several open 6-top tables, so it wasn’t an issue of nearing capacity. Again, this is all on the management & does not reflect upon the service staff. They were all clearly working double-time to make the dinner service function as best as it could.

   We were seated and waited over 15 min without menus or service we approached an employee to tell them they apologized and said they were short staffed and only had one waiter for the entire upstairs we had to leave and go somewhere else

   I have wanted to try this restaurant for sometime. Overall it was good, the pork dumplings were terrific, but my shrimp meal was just ok. Hubby had the chicken fried, and he didn’t care for it at all Don’t knock ow that we will go back honestly, however the service was excellent

   The place is beautiful but the bar service was horrific. Had to wait 20 minutes to ask what we wanted to drink. The bartender took care of other people before us. At the table we waited 15 minutes before someone gave us water. The restaurant was not crowded. They need courses in customer service.

    Great prefix offer and fantastic ambience along with delicious food… What more can you ask? The rock shrimp and pan fried pork dumplings were delicious as was a hibachi grill - we had beef tenderloin, and the chicken, then you top it off with amazing desserts. Mito, it doesn’t disappoint!
