Seriously, if cost is no object, go to one of the hundreds of sushi bars mentioned or one of the great Asian seafood restaurants in Little Saigon. You won't spend that much more and you will be so much happier!

Not very close to Newport Beach though. Sat May 01 16:27:24 -0700 2004 316876 0 Egghead 1 317081 I agree with Professor Salt. "Good Asian Buffet" as a phrase is an oxymoron. The last time I went to one was in Lake Forest. It was called Dragon Buffet. That was the first and last time I will ever go there. While I did not find their food objectionable, the hostess who you have to pay before you enter the establishment was unbelievably rude. Since it was almost a year ago, I've forgotten the details of the incident, but I do remember my girlfriend being incredibly P.O.'d after that initial encounter the entire night. She hardly ate a thing. Mon May 03 12:52:28 -0700 2004 316876 0 elmomonster
