Totally wonderful! Make sure you come here to eat, and make sure you are hungry because there is lots of excellent food to eat! Trying a new restaurant for the first time is always fraught with nerves - particularly a buffet, where, if the food is not good you end up paying a whole lot of money for not very much at all. Coming to Hikari - the night started off very very well, with a bright and cheerful welcome from waitstaff that took the time to explain properly how everything works. There are some simple sushis and fried chicken on the traditional self serve buffet line - but there is also an Ala-Carte buffet. For this you get "two rounds" of orders in the 90 minutes seating time at your table. The basic strategy would be to try what looks yummy to you in the first round, and then go back in the second and order more of what you liked the most. The food was really high quality, and cooked fresh - we were super impressed with this. It's a bit of a battle to remember all the Japanese dish names from the menu, but there were some that stood out as being wonderful - there was the teriyaki chicken, nice and crunchy on the outside and succulent, sweet and tender in the middle. Both of the beef dishes we had were great, as was the "Japanese Pizza" - the sweet and savory here mixed really well and it was delectable. The kids and wifey all loved the udon noodles, which came in a small enough helping that they left you plenty of space of other dishes without over filling you. Big fans of fresh salmon, we got stuck into the salmon and tuna sashimi which was firm and bouncy - just how it's supposed to be. For the wasabi, this was high quality and gave the nose a good cleaning out! Listed on the menu - they tell us that "All you can eat" is an Invitation, not a challenge. If you're wasteful you will get charged for the balance food as ala-carte prices. We ended the night with some ice-cream, only 7 bowls amongst the four of us, so I felt I was letting the team down a little. All in all - we had a really great dinner, and felt that we certainly got the value out of a buffet, which is not a feeling that I normally walk away from the "eat yourself" silly style of dining. We're going to be back to this bright, cheerful and tasty Japanese eatery, and would heartily give it a big thumbs up!

Nice nigiris and rice balls. Good price too - $1.80 per piece. The rolled sushi is way too big and super rice-heavy.
