She had seen him standing there the whole time, yet never communicated that she was closing the line. If she had simply let him know earlier, he wouldn't have wasted his time. It was extremely frustrating for him to leave without a meal, especially since he only had a limited break. It's disappointing that the employee couldn't either take a moment to let him know or just finish his order since he was the last person in line. We expect better customer service from Wegmans.

Okay so my goal here was to grab some sushi on my way home from work, which for me is a drive from…read moreBuffalo New York to almost Binghamton New York. I researched a few places that have sushi on my way and this one was my choice. I stopped in the day before I was intending on buying anything so I could see where the place is and talk to the staff because I was going to purchase quite a bit. At least more than an average person would typically grab for lunch. So on my way home today, I called them and basically ordered nine sushi rolls. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that they have a lunch special, any three rolls for $13.95. I would have bought them anyways at the regular price but this was kind of a nice bonus. They told me 30 minutes, I got there in 30 minutes, and it wasn't ready yet... Which wasn't really a big deal as they were working on it and I wasn't the only person there. The gentleman rolling the sushi in my humble opinion has some mad skills as he did all nine of my rolls while I sat there and watched and I don't think it took more than about 8 minutes to complete the whole order. I was also pleasantly surprised that they have eel sauce. I'm not sure about other people's experiences however for myself and my wife it's sometimes challenging to find a place that serves sushi and has eel sauce. They packaged it up pretty quick, put a little dab of wasabi on the corner of each little to-go container and I was on my way. I didn't go too far into the place however from what I can see from where I was it seems pretty clean. There's probably about a dozen tables available and a bar area. During both of my visits I had the opportunity to speak with three different employees and all of them were very nice and accommodating. The sushi itself was rather tasty. My wife and I have had sushi from various places and this place is now near the top of our list as far as taste and appearance goes. As I told them when I left earlier with my order, as long as my wife likes it I will most definitely be back, possibly a couple times a month anyways as even though it's 45 minutes from my house, it's on my way home and as far as a quick lunch, it's way better than fast food.

Maru Ramen served homemade noodles and broth. You could taste the love and care that went into the food. Now, as "Maru Korea" , the food is incredibly underwhelming. The noodles come from a package (confirmed) and the broth tastes like it does to. Some of the dishes are decent but even as traditional Korean dishes go....still underwhelming. I've eaten Korean cuisine regularly for 24years....this place would be equivalent to the Korean food you would get if there was a Korean version of McDonald's.

Walking in it was fairly dimly lit and silent as I was to be the only diner. The staff was very friendly and got me seated with a menu at the sushi bar immediately. The menu was fairly baseline with a few signature specialty dishes but all consisting of the same ingredients. I order a Hot tea, the Sashimi lunch special which came with a Miso Soup & side of Rice as well as the Treasure Island appetizer to sample some of their more unique dishes. The Miso Soup was both warm and flavorful. The Treasure Island app was an interesting blend of sweet savory and fat flavors with fresh Mango, Avocado, Tobiko, Ponzu and diced fish's but it was unfortunately all just overtaken by the heavy Mayo and tempura flakes. The Sashimi lunch was presented fairly but the quality of the fish was sub par to say. All of the previous frozen variety and using Izumidai "tilapia" in place of Red Snapper. Overall it certainly was not the greatest Sushi dining experience for me personally and I would pass on the next opportunity to visit. That being said there seems to be very limited Sushi dining opinion this area and it was fairly reasonably priced 2 course lunch. 3.9/10 Very friendly staff, lower quality ingredients.

There were sit down restaurants, that had much higher stars and better reviews. But we prefer buffets, so we can have a little of everything. Something we very much missed during Covid. So even it had lower stars, we decided to give it a go. We were pleasantly surprised. The restaurant was very big, decorated nicely, and clean. The staff were super friendly. Some people came in and the staff knew their names. We felt like we were apart of the neighborhood. The food was basic Chinese food. I love Chinese chicken wings and I think Buffets are the most economical way of having them. Their chicken wings were delicious. I also loved the Honey chicken, had a couple pieces of sushi, the you peel shrimp was delish! There were some items that I didn't like. Their egg rolls, nope not for me. The mussels were ok. I did notice that they had chicken nuggets, jello, pudding, Ice cream, etc...non- Chinese items, probably for the kids.I thought that was very thoughtful. Price was very reasonable! 2 people 30.00. + we tipped 6.00. I enjoyed it very much. I did find it odd that not all food was labeled. But if not looked tasty, I tried it. lol but seriously, it would be nice to have all the labels updated properly. I can see why there are regulars. Once you figure out what you like, you can just slide in and load up. Not perfect, but nice experience. If I had to go back to Elmira, I would eat there again. Give it a go. I think it deserves higher stars. We all know when we eat buffets, foods are going to be hit or miss. I just focused I what I did like. I'd also like to add, that I loved that they had fresh fruit and veggie dishes.

I placed my ordered via app and ordered several dishes like always. One particular dish was chicken and snow peas and they used green beans instead. They told my son they would give him something for free for the mixup and I don't see what that was unless it was a tiny box with white rice. The egg rolls have zero flavor and the food doesn't look appealing at all. We asked for sweet and sour sauce for our three shrimp egg rolls and yet no sweet and sour sauce. It's sad because coming from China town this was the closest I found to Chinese food in this area. Now it's just like all the other 3 star places. Just a place to fill your belly. Not to enjoy the cuisine. And just as flavorless. If I were to post a photo and you printed it and ate it ... the photo would have more flavor. Don't waste your money. Wait until the reviews pick up. Hopefully They'll get the Hint.
