From bringing out hot/cold food all the time and putting in the original serving container correctly, wiping down the food area to keep it clean. The ambiance is calming with the blue lights.

I also was happier bc I was able to get the crab out whole in big pieces. That's always a challenge to me. I also love the sashimi, oysters, broccoli, seaweed salad and octopus salad. I love the strawberry shortcake crunch ice cream too. I didn't love the beef from the hibachi. It was chewy. The service at our table is great. They clear our plates and get drinks for us. Everyone is nice and helpful. There's a lot of big groups here, & seniors have a good deal here for the price. Happy we found a great place we can enjoy especially with the very yummy crab legs and oysters for a great price.

My husband and I were really excited to try this place, as we both love a good breakfast. There was…read morea bit of a wait, but it moved quickly, and while my husband stood in line, I enjoyed browsing the store -- which was very impressive (though I did pick up a coffee mug for sale that was made in China- not what I expected). We both chose the buffet because we wanted to sample a little of everything. The scrambled eggs, potatoes, and meats were all good and flavorful. However, the bakery items were very disappointing. The biscuits and pastries didn't taste homemade from scratch (possibly homemade from a mix- if that is such a thing?), and some of the salads and cream-filled pastries seemed to have a whipped topping flavor similar to Cool Whip. Yuke! Overall, we had high expectations and left feeling a little underwhelmed. On a brighter note, the service and hostess were very pleasant and attentive.

She was yet again, right. Spring greens with feta cheese was a nice change up for an Indian restaurant. There were a few veg and non-veg and I felt that it needed another veg entree as I do not eat meat. Most flavors that I tried were pretty good. My felt the flavors were mediocre, which means below average to me. The desserts were good as were the pappadams. The sauces had nice flavors. The bean soup was out rather than Dahl. I prefer the Dahl. I'm thinking we wouldn't come back at this point. But, at some future point, maybe we would try again, after first trying other Indian restaurants. Or, maybe it was an off day for them and us. The service was also just fair. So, not a good first impression.

As I said in a previous review, if you are expecting a fine dining establishment then this is not the place for you. But if you consider the price for what you get, I still say it's hard to beat.

When I got there, my party was already seated and I had to wait for them to bring another table over. By that time, the meat service had already started, so I missed some of the rotation. I checked out the food bar, the black beans looked good but had pork sausage in them, so I couldn't eat that. When the meats came around, most were medium rare or rare, which is too pink for me. I asked for a different temp and one of the guys kinda caught an attitude when I said the piece he gave me had too much fat. It got awkward real quick as he told me there is no fat on the meat. Also asked for A1 and it took a while. Overall, it wasn't terrible. I had a good time because I was with family, but food-wise it didn't wow me. If I'm doing Brazilian steakhouse, I'd rather drive to Texas de Brazil. If you're in Sarasota and don't feel like driving, Rodizio Grill is cool... just not my first pick.

We try to try new places in Sarasota, but in case it doesn't work out, we go here and are not disappointed. Today we did notice the A/C was not working. They have two big fans on both sides and two small fans that are powerful. We had a small powerful fan that faced us so we were fine. We always get Beef Chow Fun here. It's always good. This time I ordered a braised fish tofu clay pot and I really like it. One thing is you always have to pay for rice in case you want it. It's is a dollar. I did need it for my fish. We also love the chicken corn soup and salt and pepper calamari, those are a few other items we order. The service is pretty good and the food is pretty quick. This location is showing its age especially in the restrooms so that's why the A/C and restrooms move this to four stars. But I do love this Yummy House, & I'm sure I will be back for their variety. I like best the murals on the inside and outside walls. They have tables, chairs, and half booths here.
