Just don't understand the buffet culture , there is no buffet food I wouldn't rather have a higher quality meal of at a normal restaurant.

Unless you are a college student eating a pizza buffet, grow up and eat like an adult.

How many rolls do you eat at one of these typically? It can't be much less expensive that just going to a nice sushi place and ordering 3 rolls on your own.

Masa is made to order. I guess I was just disappointed with the rainbow roll.

It's a mere 15.99, with drinks included.

Okay I give my dining experience an overall 4.

Crab Legs are the exception IMO.

A buffet is all about maximizing the most food for the money.

If I were to go to a conventional sushi restaurant, I would likely order two specialty rolls, paying anywhere between $25-35 and leave still a little hungry. If I go to Kaminari at lunch time, I spend $11, eat 3 rolls worth of food, and I get to try a bunch more different rolls. While going to a real sushi restaurant would provide me with a much tastier meal, at this point in my life, the amount of food I get for my money outweighs the obvious step down in quality.

When I really want quality sushi and am willing to pay for it (a rare time since my SO doesn't eat it, my friends are mostly too poor to afford it, and I don't allow myself a particularly large "eating out" budget) I will pay for it at a real restaurant like Ichiban or Yama.

The only type of buffet I've gone to is a sushi buffet. I've done it frequently for 15 years or so and I've never had a problem.

I've had sushi at a regular sushi restaurant and for my favorite, nigiri, have noted little difference. It seems that much of the praise for a regular sushi restaurant comes from the many ways they dress up or actually cook the "sushi" so that it appeals to people who really don't like sushi.
