It's good enough for the price. I'll return back. Only thing is the service is a bit slow. I think that is because it's such a busy restaurant.

I was looking at eatability at the other reviews before I went to Kansai and it seemed that there were different opinions regarding the atmosphere and food.
I have just went today and was quite pleased. The food overall was expected, nothing too great but it was decent for the value. I recommend instead of getting sushi with eel etc on top, you can just order the eel etc seperate, instead of wasting all that rice.

Overall I would recommend Kansai for a casual enjoyable meal and for big appetites.

I have been there for over 4 times past this year, the food is pretty good, fresh and worth the value, the only thing I dislike is they make all the sushi with too much rice so it make you full very quickly and lastly don't order their hand roll sushi its not good, apart from that everything is fine.

I have been to Kansai about 5 or 6 times over the past couple of years, each time having the $28 buffet option and each time have left with a bursting stomach!
This restaurant is great value and has a very good range of dishes for 'all you can eat'. It has also been packed each time we go. The food isn't always top quality, but it is after all a $28 dollar buffet and is definitely worth it.

My friends and I really enjoy the individual nigri, sashimi salad, dragon roll, rainbow roll and the gyoza. It's also very entertaining watching the chefs make the sushi in front of you if you get to sit at the 'bar'.

The service is decent, I wouldn't say that the wait staff are fluent in English, but they are still friendly and helpful albeit busy. The manager is also a great guy! One time I visited I was with a friend who was a vegetarian, although their vegetarian menu is somewhat limited (vegetable tempura, edamame, agedashi tofu etc), the staff/chefs had no qualms about making my friend custom vegetarian rolls throughout the night. I can definitely say I'll go there again.

I was quite hungry and was going to order the buffet but decided against it when my partner liked another (and cheaper) meal option off the menu. It is minimum 2 people for the buffet and it may be better value to order separate meals. You can get chicken katsu, soba or udon with a selection of sushi and salad on the side for $10 cheaper than the buffet. You get just as full. Overall, I was quite impressed with the taste and quality of the food.

An excellent place to rock up with a gang of friends craving for food. $28 option provides you with more than enough to make you look pregnant. Food is good thou not great. Given a small area, chatting noise is inevitable. 3 visits so far and will be back.

Had the dinner buffet. One of the waiters was quite helpful as he let us know that you could choose from the whole menu. They are also always available to take more orders unlike some places which try to avoid you ordering too quick. The quality of food is good without being great. But I found that we ordered and ate quiet a lot. Prob up to or more than $38 worth which is more I can say about other buffets. Only gripe is that theres no dessert there.

I had a beef katsu udon at this place and it was well done. The ambience lets the place down slightly (too noisy), and it's not the best value for a place in the Hunter Connection. Overall, if you want a quick and decent meal without regard to anything else then give it a shot.

I had dinner with a group of my friends in here few days ago. We chosen the $38 dollars buffet which includes the Sashimi Boat and Hot Pot. The quality of food is fine and above the standard. I can see a wood boat when we ordered the Sashimi Boat. Hot Pot is really good.

The ambience is emem, I will say that it is not a good place to hold a function or party because the size of restaurant is not big, the decoration is very simple and quite crowded and noisy if the restaurant is full. However, it is a good place to meet your friends for lunch or dinner with chatting.

The service is fine in weekday, we waited around 15-20 minutes to get our food. The attitude of the waitress (I think they are Korean) are fine in the weekday but I am not sure in weekend when they are busy. The value is excellent, I think $28 buffet is also a great deal. I definitely go back after I don't feel sick of sashimi^^ (I ate so many plates of sashimi and I was so full on that night).
