    Great food and I enjoyed every minute of it. They have sushi over there It is amazing

    This has got to be one of the worst buffets I've ever eaten at. My impression from outside the building already concerned me. However, stepping into the restaurant and talking to the kid at the counter with an unpleasant looking face. I smelled something repulsive, like someone crapped their pants. That was a sign for me to leave, but it was a long drive here so I thought I'd give it a benefit of a doubt... big mistake. The sushi was under average and the selections was not impressive at all. I won't comment all the food, but the majority of it is terrible in taste and quality. This goes for the seafood crab, terrible quality. I will never step foot in this restaurant again and would not recommend it to anyone. I do see some fake reviews for this restaurant with 5 stars, so beware.

    Sushi

    Their buffet is very organized and well maintained. They seem to keep the food well stocked. Sushi isn't bad at all. I wouldn't say it's high class sushi but it's good enough to eat in buffet. Staff are friendly. Ambiance is nice as well. It looked to they keep the place clean.

    Proof :)

    It was my first time at this buffet! The price for dinner lunch was 12.60 not bad, at least 70% of the food was good, I wouldn't recommend the French fries, hot spicy soup, and one of the breaded chicken. Fried rice need more flavor. Keep in mind that this is a buffet some dishes are good some are bad but overall I'll come back

    I am not a huge fan of these types of buffets, simply because I've had such poor luck in Tucson. I am from southern California where you can find some amazing Asian-style buffets. Here? Not so much. But of all the locations I have tried in Tucson, I must say that despite its limitations Grand Buffet is the best. I have been three times. For the most part, the place is tidy and is rarely too, too busy. Sure, the furniture is somewhat worn in places, but the staff tend to keep the buffet line and the sushi bar tidy. That's huge right there. How many times have you been to a buffet and found slop on the tables, on the floors, on the walls, on the ceiling! So kudos there. One little annoyance: The servers take your drink orders before you are able to even sit down. This is one of my own pet peeves. It's always awkward standing in the middle of the floor right in front of your table as all parties are calling out their drink orders. On to the food selections. Prices as of Oct. 2012 are: Monday through Saturday for the lunch buffet (11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.) $7.25 for adults and about $3.60 for kids (defined as those between the ages of 3 and 10). There is a brunch buffet that is slightly more expensive that runs 3:30 to 4 p.m. No kidding. That's what it says on the menu. The dinner buffet, from 4 to 9 p.m., will run just under $10 for adults and nearly $5 for kids. And, apparently, they offer an all day dinner buffet on Sundays and holidays from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. The restaurant also offers a carry out buffet based on the pound. If you are a serious carnivore, this is the place for you! It's beef, fish and pork for days! Unfortunately, the restaurant does not seem to rotate its selections at all, or at least that is what I've observed on the few trips I have made. It's always the generic staples: beef and broccoli, pork ribs, egg drop soup, fried wontons, chicken wings, french fries, pizza, pepper steak beef and salmon in what appears to be some sort of butter sauce. Bummer. I'm always going for the vegetables. I love their stir fry bean sprouts. The dish is actually quite nice and light. But aside from picking the broccoli out of the beef and broccoli, that's about it for decent vegetable dishes, though you can order vegetarian options from the menu. The sushi is just OK. The fish always seems pretty fresh, but they love to offer rolls that have been deep fried with tons of cream cheese. I know some folks love that stuff -- so this is the place for you -- but I'm not down for it. I usually go with the nigiri and, if you can get it right as the sushi chef is making it, it's not bad for a buffet. As for the menu, it's quite extensive, and most dishes will run you between $6.50 and $10. Among them: moo shu, fried rice, low mein, chop suey, egg foo young, chicken in hot garlic sauce, kung pao chicken, double fried pork, beef with scallops, shrimp with lobster sauce and almond chicken are among them. The more expensive house specials include the combination pan-fried noodles, orange chicken (which I found not to be very orange flavored at all), sesame chicken, black bean mussels, orange beef and an assortment of shrimp, beef, chicken, roast pork and vegetables in a house special sauce. Interesting.

    It was ok. Nothing bad. Sushi is good. Nothing spicy or sour about the hot and sour soup. Should go back to plates and silverware.

They carry vegan mayo and made vegan spicy mayo for me. Note that when ordered vegan, the cabbage salad didn't come with dressing as it contains non vegan mayo. I also enjoyed trying the leek onigiri. It was counter service. They have some outdoor tables outside on the road. I definitely want to come back for that mushroom katzu plate, particularly when the miso soup is back too. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!

It's inside a busy bar so we elected to sit outside and the tables moved around a lot.

Overall great spot hope they get a spot of their own cause I think this could be a great place.

    I used to only order delivery here and decided to try them out in person. I would consider…read moreTerisushi as Mexican Japanese fusion. They don't only serve sushi or teriyaki either. The menu appetizers include gyoza, edamame, but they also serve Mexican torito--which is a chili pepper stuffed with cream cheese & shrimp then deep fried. I was really looking forward to it but unfortunately the ones I got served were still frozen inside. Unfortunate as the outside coating was perfectly fried and not too oily but I guess that's why it didn't really get cooked the whole way. Now, you'd think I would've left after the not-so-great apps, but def had to stay for the entrees. What's great about this place is really their donburi bowls, specifically, the unagi donburi bowl. Has just enough unagi, maybe a little too much rice but never the less, a really great sauce to tie it together. They've got a slew of fried sushi rolls but I've never really been a fan of those. They also have "teppan" meals which are dishes with your choice of protein served with rice on the side. They also do have nigiri and baked rolls as well. Inside the restaurant, I really liked the fake grass wall with their sign on it and the server was very nice. I would have given them a higher rating but the uncooked torito kinda did turn me off. Definitely would still go to this place and/or order delivery as long as it's the teri/sushi type dishes not the torito. Overall, Terisushi is one of the better Mexican sushi places in town.

    Wanted some sushi and saw that Google had good reviews for this place so we decided to drop in…read more It's located off a busy street and parking is tight and only one way entry. Wasn't busy at all so we were seated and able to order quite quickly. We ordered the caterpillar and especial rolls. Each came with miso soup. Their three TVs in close proximity kept us entertained while we waited. Our server was also attentive of us. Everything was delicious. I liked how they had the extra sides on the plates that I wouldn't see at other traditional sushi restaurants; scallions, jalapeños, and krab. The especial pieces were about 2.5 times the size of normal rolls as well. Definitely recommend this place.

At the corner of the street diagonal to a small park, and then next door to Street Taco & Beer. It's got an interesting decor, and not sure who it's catering to specifically, but identity crisis from a design perspective is fine since it's spacious inside and has two sections for seating. Price wise, it's on par for most of the things down in this area, as they're focus on curry rice plates and things, so the portions aren't bad here. There's a variety of protein options to go with your curry, with it mostly focused on the katsu style of fooding for those interested. They also have some ramen options there as well, as it's clear they are trying to do a little bit of everything. There are some random options regarding appetizers and such, but the generic stuff mostly. Staff here is pretty friendly so no issues there. Now, the food part. It was not bad, but there were a couple of things here that were certainly on my no-no list. Let's start with the Las Vegas Roll. It's a deep fried roll. Doesn't really have much fish in there (like a sliver), and the sauces on it were just mediocre at best. There was basically just no filling, and mostly rice. It's curry time. Got the seafood curry, but apparently they were out of clams that day so told me they would give me more shrimp and fried calamari to make up for it, and I said okay. Sort of regretted half of that decision. The curry itself was actually pretty tasty, but I feel like they don't actually know what Japanese curry quality it supposed to be like. It was like I was drinking a soup, and not clam chowder. The flavors of it though were actually quite good, but the actual texture of the curry was basically just liquid and did not feel at all like curry. The shrimp that came with the dish were alright, no issues with that. The fried calamari is there this dish ends for me. The calamari was off, and it was either just like that normally, or it was severely underfried as it was basically just a mushy mess that was not good. The final verdict? The curry was actually good, but man, they don't know how to actually make the curry texture correctly. Just a mediocre and watery mess. Price wise, it wasn't cheap for these two things, and for what I got quality wise, it wasn't worth it. Quantity wise, it was decent, but still not sure if that justifies the price tag. Just a mediocre experience overall. Staff was friendly at least. Not good, but not bad.
