    Visited the 2nd Friday of grand opening. Very open dining area with plenty of walkway. Food area was clean, their staffs are very alert to refill the entrees that are low. The entrees coming out are fresh, many ethnic food selections. The fresh fruits & desserts selection are well planned, simple seasonal fruits and staff constantly refresh them as they ran low. Menu- Lunch at $19.95 & dinner at 24.95 includes sodas and $25.95 on weekends, great value for my tummy. Best buffet value in Salinas.

    I honestly think I'd give this place a 10/10 rating and alot of people can argue about it, but that's okay... The service of this place is very great cause the staff are always checking up on you and they ask how is the food!!! Overall this place looks great over Sakura I hate to say this.....

    Recently, I came here with a close friend. The interior is beautiful and gave me the impression that the food and service would be excellent, but unfortunately, that was not the case. The food was noticeably cold, and the orange chicken was very chewy. I also tried the pho, but it lacked flavor and had very limited garnish options, which made it disappointing. I observed employees checking the food by simply moving it around with tongs rather than properly checking temperatures with a food thermometer, which raised concerns about food safety. There is also a $3.99 service charge, which was confusing because the customer service was lacking. Unlike other buffets I've visited, no employee checked on our table throughout the meal. Our used plates continued piling up, making the table feel crowded, and they were not cleared until the very end. What ultimately brought my rating down to 2 stars was seeing an employee enter the restroom while still wearing her apron. Seeing food-service attire worn inside the bathroom felt very unsanitary and concerning. Overall, this restaurant has potential because the atmosphere is appealing, but the staff would benefit from additional training and a stronger focus on customer service and food safety practices.

    For example, I've never seen a pho station before at a buffet, so it's really cool to see that option there.

    Needed something super quick before my next work session! I wasn't feeling anything "fast foodie"…read morerelated and have been wanting to increase my protein intake sooo.. ofc I naturally went for Teriyaki Madness! Did I need or want the extra veggies with the rice? Nahh.. i'm particular in how my veggies are cooked. But, just the teriyaki chicken with rice in a junior bowl was enough to fulfill my lunch slump hunger! I didn't even need the extra sauce it comes with! Ooh! a tip on adding veggies though that I think would be amazing IF they had shredded lettuce as a veggie side since it would soak up that yummy teriyaki sauce! Teriyaki madness, ya feel me on that? Lol not sure if that's already a thing here~ Definitely go here for that quick, eatery vibe! they have some other proteins like salmon, tofu, steak.. yup definitely coming here for that protein fix- and if i'm feeling wild.. maaaybe adding veggies next time hehe.

Highly recommend and will definitely be return!

Therefore, of course, I had to try it. ***DO NOT USE APPLE MAPS. USE GOOGLE MAPS!! Using Apple Maps resulted in me circling the area TWICE until I used Google Maps.*** FOOD: omg their meals are so reasonably priced especially their omakase. I don't think I've ever met a $30 omakase. The sushi rice was nicely blended. Strange how there wasn't wasabi instantly included in the nigiri. Fake wasabi provided on the side. Yellow ginger. Nice cuts of fish. Tonkatsu very dry. Completely disliked how the sauce was automatically included on top... I wished it was given on the side. Wished there was a lemon slice provided as well. Miso soup was not good at all. Salad dressing was very appetizing. SERVICE: Simple and straightforward. No trouble given. VIBEZ: Typical modern Japanese decor with the added touch of figures. Casual. Great for large groups. Located in downtown Salinas. Parking scattered but free 90 minutes parking (8am to 4pm). Would I come back? Yes! I'm excited to try their other offerings, particularly their rolls.

I…read morerecently heard they were serving Fish N Chips, and as I am forever on the hunt for the best fare of this persuasion I just had to try the newest offering at Cong N Go. I actually was not that hungry but after discussion of the dish with the owners I just had to sample it right then. I ordered it to go but not even kidding I almost ate all three pieces it was that good. Oh my goodness, hands down some of the very best Fish N Chips I ever ate. Nice plateful with three good size pieces. The batter is flavorful with just the right amount of crunch. The vinegrette sauce with aioli mayo and a mix of spices makes the fishes flavors blend very nicely. Cambodian crunchy slaw is a very tasty pairing. Maybe just a tad on the salty side but otherwise perfect. A good helping of narrow fries as well. Definitely enough food to be shareable if you are able to or even want to. I will be looking forward to returning for the light flavorful Alaskan cod at Cong N Go as long as they continue to serve it. Thanks so much for an excellent and very enjoyable afternoon meal. The food here overall is amazing and all of you looking for a change of pace have to stop by and sample the menu.

If you time it right, you can even catch the bagpiper at 5:30pm. I've been to other Roy's locations and always order the miso butterfish. This time, it was still good, but slightly off compared to what I'm used to. It had a faint fishiness that usually isn't there, so while I still enjoyed it, it didn't quite hit that usual top tier standard. We also ordered pasta for my son, which he devoured, and a steak that was solid and well prepared. Overall, the food was good, but not necessarily the highlight. The real standout was dessert. The chocolate lava cake was an absolute slam dunk. Just a heads up, it takes about 20 minutes to prepare, so ordering it midway through your meal is the move. Totally worth it. Service was excellent. Our waiter was polite and thoughtful, especially recommending we order the lava cake early, which saved us a long wait at the end. Parking is easy with plenty of self parking available, and after your meal you can walk around or head into 17 Mile Drive, which makes the whole outing feel like more than just dinner. One tip: try to get a reservation on the earlier side and request a window seat if possible. A lot of people come just to see the bagpiper, so being able to enjoy that from inside the restaurant is a nice bonus. Overall, you're coming here for the experience. The views, the atmosphere, and the setting make it hard to beat, especially around sunset.
