First Japanese buffet.

This past weekend, my mom took my brother and I to a Japanese grille and sushi buffet called Nori Nori at Sandy Springs. I never been to a Japanese buffet before, so I was excited to go and try it out since I’m a big fan of sushi.

When I first walked in, it gave me an impression that it was clean and fresh. The hostess was really nice and the waitress/server was really friendly to us. Su, our waitress for the day, welcomed us warmly and introduced us the restaurant’s rewards program. All you have to do was apply and they will give you a card and you can collect points each time you go. Since it was the last weekend of August and it was also my birthday month, I was able to have a free birthday meal after I entered to their rewards program. It’s something great to take advantage of especially if you’re a college student. Need to learn to save how money and take advantage with the offers. =P

There were so many different variety of sushi; anything you can possibly think of when you’re there. Some of my favorites were: volcano roll, spicy tuna roll, and spider roll, but they were so many that are worth to try. There was also a Japanese grille and a Japanese cuisine buffet bar that was offer. What I liked the most from the grille was the Japanese udon noodles. The chef cooks it for you and put your desire ingredients, it’s hot, right off the stove, and ready to eat. I tried some interesting, unique food from the Japanese cuisine buffet bar such as tempura vegetables and tempura sushi. It was basically fried vegetables and sushi, but the fried coating was different from how the Americans fried food. I guess this type of frying was a little healthier than the American way. It was really nice to try more different kinds of Japanese food.

This was definitely an experience at a Japanese buffet restaurant, and I loved it. The service was great too. I would absolutely go back for the second time with friends or family.
