Oh my... what a fall from grace... I never had to take away TWO stars from good restaurant before, but just like most of the Asian restaurants around this area, they start with a Bang and end with a different kind of bang---the banging of angry fists and doors shutting...
The sushi menu (as it was mentioned by another Yelper who also wrote a second review) : The sushi menu is just like a mail order bride. Nice and cute at first, was worth the money, and was everything you expected plus more... then, once you are hooked, they kind of start getting skimpy on the feel-goods and start changing on you a bit ... Now, their menu is still salvageable, but if it is not prevented, this can end in a nasty divorce... They used to have so many interesting varieties.... now, they have just as much 'sushi' but it's all a lie, I testify!! The ingredients inside the 'sushi' were: rice, cucumber, imitation crab with either avocado or cream cheese. They wrap these ingredients in different ways and make more than five combinations with the same ingredients. EG: one wrap will have rice, cucumber and avocado, the next will have rice, imitation crab and cream cheese, the third will have avocado instead of cream cheese, etc. Get the drift?? I see your deceitful ways Atlantic Buffet! And just like a mail-in-bride who is caught cheating, you too shall be forgiven for now... simply because there is nothing else out there that can replace you ... just yet, but you wait and see!! :P
Now, besides the sushi bar, I only pay attention to the seafood variety. Which is still decent. Although the fried shrimp and the fried salmon are starting to taste more and more similar... like your deodorant and toothpaste ... it is do-able... Now, I just wish they will leave the steamed Bok-choy the hell alone. They keep pouring this thick sauce over it... I suggest to leave the bok-choy as is and put the sauce on the side so that the people can have the option to be or not to be drowned with sauce. :P Power to the people!!! --err...who like their Bokchoy steamy and naked!! Not strung out and sticky. Fehhh...
All in all, this place is still decent. The server we had the last time was awesome. He was definitely rocking that day. Maybe he just got his first kiss, grew his first man-hair, who knows? but he was happy as hell. He was so happy, I was happy, and I complimented him to the supervisor, then my brain seized to function for a quick second and mindlessly called him a "chinese dude." Now, Im sure they have a picture of me in the kitchen with a big red X mark across with "she-devil" title on it ... Im sure he was not Chinese because the four people in the register were clearly offended, and for that, I apologize wonderful staff of Atlantic Buffet, and please dont molest my food when I come back? Friends?
So there. I think it's still a good place to go. The decor is still nice and the staff is good. The food is still good but not as great as it was and oh, the price went up by a dollar. But I knew it was coming because just like a mail-in-bride, they too start demanding more cash after a while ... and just like a jerk ... I will be coming back anyway. :) ... but just like a mail-in-bride, you can only cheat and ask for more cash for so long before you get dumped and be replaced by something familiar, fast, and cheap ... in this case, atlantic buffet, always remember, there is always Wa-Ho next to you ;)
ps: i just want to point out that no mail-in-bride were hurt in the writing process of this review ... and also, not all cheat ... and mail in brides are awesome ... i just wonder how much they had to pay for stamp? or can we get one by email now? X-D ... JK... for real. Ive had too much sugar today and no offense to any mail-in-brides :) read more
