Poor service, food, and management. Prices are outrageously high for the quality/selection of food. Poor seafood selection, it's more of a lower quality Chinese food restaurant. Wasn't treated as a valued customer. If you have a meal coupon it DOESN'T include your fountain drink. I give them one star JUST for their teriyaki chicken.

Horrible experience When I was trying to put my name on the list, I was very rudely greeted by the host's "Hi help ya in a minute kay". I waited for about five minutes, and it seemed that the host had forgotten about me since she was helping people who came after me. In the buffet, my male server seemed very rushed and didn't take time to really talk to me, except to get my drink order and rush away. I did not even get his name. not personable place at all. took about twenty minutes to get my drinks from the bar. By the time... read more

Yuuuuuuum! Excellent food! – I love to eat. Other than the survival factor, there are many reasons why I love to eat. I love different tastes and textures on my palate. Todai's satisfies EVERYTHING: sweet, salty, bitter... There is NO POSSIBLE WAY that one person can eat everything that they offer in one night. Trust me, I TRIED! I started out with the sushi bar and loved just about everything there, especially the spicy ahi. I LOVED the big platters of ahi and salmon sashimi. VERY FRESH. Then I worked my way over to the hot... read more

This place is SO good! I love that it is buffet style, because I can pick and choose what I want to eat, and how much of it. The last time I went I didn't even make it to the hand rolled sushi, I got stuck on the tempura and other items! The desserts are good, but the buffet is the reason to go.

must try Todai has very delicious food, lots of variety. It is a buffet all you can eat. If it is your birthday your meal is on the house (with one paying adult), all you need is an ID. They have everything from sushi to crab legs. The foods, deserts, and service all great.

Japanese Food Good Stuff Its nice here but price is a little bit high for the Buffet. This is mostly a Buffet place. Its a known fact that on your birthday they will give you a free buffet if you are accompanied by a paying person. This is probably the best deal you can get. However, it must actually be your birthday on the day you go. You can't for wait for a Saturday you have to go on your birthday to actually recieve this deal. Also, they check for ID.
