    Good food! Unfortunately the atmosphere is hectic, crowded and sometimes disturbing, not visiting this restaurant for a second time.

    Nice alternative for diverse semi-fast food but avoid busy hours because the inmates will be running the asylum.

You will have a lot of choice, the decor is beautiful (traditional japanese cherry trees,...) and the sushis come in less than a few minutes. Best sushis : Crispy Mayo, Spicy Crispy Tuna and California.

    As with many older buildings in the Netherlands, the address at Potterstraat 16 has seen a few…read morechanges in use over the years. In the space that first housed the movie theater Scala (from 1935 until 1989) and the Discotheque Monza until earlier this year, Restaurant Sumo opened last week on 27 September. Extensive renovation has been done on the premises, resulting in a huge restaurant, capable of seating a couple hundred guests. We arrived around 7 pm and were seated immediately, not on the ground floor, but up a tall stair case to the next floor, which opened into two surprisingly large rooms, decorated in dark red velour walls, with artistically made artificial cherry trees with blossoms. The restaurant formula is one that is getting known here in the Netherlands lately: namely, you get two hours to have five rounds of five choices of small plates per person. The menu includes sushi, Japanese soups, Japanese noodle dishes, Japanese dumplings and rice. At dinnertime, the price is 25 euro; at lunch time the price is 18 euro. The sushi was well-prepared and the miso soup was similar to what you get in a westernized Japanese restaurant. The gyoza was done correctly, that is, grilled only on one side, leaving the other half of the dumpling slightly doughy, as it is in Japan. After putting in our first round, the 10 items arrived at our table within 3 or 4 minutes. Lightening speed by any restaurant standard. Thereafter, the rounds started to come slower and slower, a good balance, as what seems like will not sate your appetite, actually fills you up quite quickly. Service was attentive and polite. This restaurant compares similarly to the other two sushi restaurants with the same formula, roughly the same price and both within two minutes' walk of Sumo (Sushi Qube at Oudegracht 61 and Umami at Oudegracht 74.) One wonders how three large sushi restaurants with the same formula within two minutes' walk of each other will all be able to survive in the long term.

    I came in here looking to get a doner kebab after class. Instead I got a decent but expensive…read moreshoarma plate and a weird experience. The guy who greeted me when I went inside the restaurant was very friendly. I said in about 6 different ways to him that I wanted to order something for take out, 'afhalen', 'meenemen', and so on, and he said 'alles mag' or 'everything is possible'. So I gave him my order, and he told me to sit down and be 'rustig', and asked me all sorts of questions about where I'm from, where do I live, do I have a husband, a child, what do I do for work, etc. He introduced himself, shook my hand, and was super friendly but eventually he went back to setting up the delicious-looking buffet that would be available in a few hours when they opened late due to it being Ramadan. So far, so good. Then some guy brought me a basket of bread, and a bowl of ranch sauce, and I thought this was strange, but oh so delicious, so fine I'll go with it. Then the friendly guy brought me a plate with my food on it, even though I ordered it to go! I said I ordered it to go and he said I should sit and stay awhile. Every feminist bone in my body was protesting that this man decided he knew better than me what I wanted, but the bread and ranch sauce were really good so I stayed. As for my meal, other reviewers are right, the meat was of good quality. Overall the sauce and bread and meat and veggies made a nice combination, so it was much nicer than getting a doner kebab. But it was more than twice the price of a fancy doner kebab. Friendly guy asked me if I wanted something to drink, which I figured would be free, since he was making me eat there, but then he charged me for the tea when I paid for my meal! That kind of pissed me off that I paid another 2 euros for a drink I didn't need if I just got my food to go like I asked. The real trouble came when I was done eating. I could only finish half of my meal, so I went up to the friendly guy and asked if I could have the rest packed up to go. Other people had come in after me and left with food to go, so I knew it was possible to get take out there. There were about 4 people waiting for food to go when I made my request to get my leftovers wrapped up. I have no idea why I had such a hard time getting my food to go, when others didn't. Friendly guy told the not-so-bright woman busing tables to wrap up my food, and she took the food away. I paid and was waiting and waiting, and my wrapped up leftovers never appeared. Then I asked the guy again, and he said he'd ask someone, and I asked the dim bulb who cleared the table and she started complaining 'you can't have take away, you ate here' and when I said 'yes but I ordered it for take away, and I saw him tell you that you should put it in a box' she just repeated over and over again 'but you ate here. you cannot take away'. Ugh. Eventually not-so-friendly guy located my food in the kitchen, and wrapped it up for me in a box. I have no idea if it was messed with in any way, or already sitting in a pile of dirty dishes with other stuff on top of it or anything, but it looked like my food when I got it home so I guess it was ok. This experience really skeeved me out, so I'm not sure I'll come back soon, at least not alone. Maybe with my husband and child. The food was good, their buffet looked delicious, and they were advertising an excellent and inexpensive breakfast buffet available on the weekends, but I would rather not have to deal with all this nonsense again if I can avoid it, so returning is not a high priority for me.

The ambience is not bad and the value for money is great. The only issue is the service can be a little slow at times.

    We stayed near the Novotel Hotel and it's about a 15 min walk from the hotel to the buffet, how…read moreconvenient! It's also located near the RAI Station so it's a pretty busy area. As someone who loves going to buffets and knowing that it's so close to our hotel, I couldn't pass up on the opportunity of going here even though the ratings aren't high on Yelp. Plus this would be our only meal of the day so we figured why not go to a buffet on our last night in Amsterdam! And honestly, we ate enough of what types of food Amsterdam has to offer since this was out 2nd time so we ran out of things we could possibly eat here. There are quite a few buffets/AYCE around the area but they were mostly all sushi and I didn't come all the way from America to just eat mediocre sushi LOL (knowing that sushi is way better in Japan). So we decided on Restaurant Vandaag because they had a variety of different cuisines. Granted the prices for this buffet are pretty high (31.50 euros= ~$36USD for 2 hours) but we still went anyways because we're on vacation!! Drinks (wine, alcohol, soda, tea, etc) are all included in the price and you pay up front before you eat. In the end, I really enjoyed my experience here! Food is cooked fresh right in front of you and you get to pick what you want and how its done. This buffet is VERY kid friendly!! There's a little kitchen for the children to design their own cookies and an employee bakes for them and puts them in little cute boxes to take home. Such an awesome way for the kids to be hands on after they eat! The steam tables are also shorten to kid's height so that they could grab food on their own! I wish they had something like this in America lol...Overall, definitely worth checking out if you're looking for all you can eat buffet in Amsterdam!
