    River Japanese Cuisine is located at the lower level and we couldn't find the entrance when we came at the first time.
    As an AYCE place, their cooked food was decent with good variety but as a Japanese cuisine restaurant, their food wasn't authentic at all and their raw fish wasn't fresh. If you are curved with Chinese-style-Japanese food, River would be a good choice for you.
    They served food extremely slow and sometimes missed orders, we ordered grilled eggplant 3 times with reminders and it was finally served...

    Came here to catch up with my friends before they went off to med school. We chose the Buffet option in this locally run Sushi Buffet in the basement. You place orders by marking it down on a sheet and handing it off to the servers to get food for you. There seems to be a time limit of an hour and thirty minutes where they seem to rush us out even though at the time I went (late lunch) the restaurant wasn't that busy. The food was great, but the service can be improved, at least the portion near the end. My server didn't speak English, but that's fine because I live in this neighborhood and understand Mandarin. Would recommend for those willing to dig a little deeper into their wallets on important events.

    Taste: 8.5/10

    Atmosphere / Hygiene: 8/10

    I would say I come here yearly. Honestly the quality improved from the last time I've been here. Probably new management. The only complaint I will say is the menu doesn't specify how many pieces and it varies each time they bring it out. Therefore, we sorta had to stuff ourselves even if we don't like the food. The wings are amazing tho. I also like the sashimi option the have in this buffet. I always get the ayce.

    My favorite sushi spot on Mainst, they close pretty late and the sushi is ALWAYS fresh. I would highly recommend your family and friends to eat here !!
