The Ultimate Japanese Buffet in Waterloo! Sushi Star Review 🍣🔥
📍 In a Nutshell: Thick-cut sashimi + Chinese-style skewers + god-tier fried squid—this all-you-can-eat spot is Waterloo’s #1 Japanese buffet! 🌟 Must-Order (Zero Regrets) 🍣 Sashimi & Carpaccio ✅ Salmon/White Tuna: Thick cuts, buttery texture, melts in your mouth with soy + wasabi. ✅ Carpaccio: Lemon-olive oil drizzle = perfect starter. 🔥 Skewers (Rare in Japanese Buffets!) ✅ Lamb Skewers: Marinated like Northeast Chinese BBQ, huge chunks, nostalgic flavor. ✅ Spicy Sausage: Juicy explosion—order 1 first (they’re massive). 🍤 Best Fried Item ✅ Crispy Squid Tentacles: Crunchy outside, tender inside, stays crispy even when cool. Paired with yuzu mayo—heaven. 🍮 Desserts ✅ Matcha Mochi (1/person): Chewy + bitter-sweet filling, worth the limit. ✅ Coconut Sago: Chugged 4 bowls to balance the meat feast. 💡 Key Details Price: ~$50/person (after tax + tip), insane value. Reservation: Essential on weekends (30min–1hr wait otherwise). Tip: Sweet shrimp runs out fast, go early. 🏠 Sushi Star 📍 Location: Waterloo (Google it) ⏰ Dinner rush: Aim for 5–6pm. ⚠️ Heads-Up 1️⃣ Don’t overorder skewers—they’re filling! 2️⃣ Start with sashimi/sushi, then fried/grilled items to avoid cold food. 3️⃣ Student budget-friendly: $50 for a food coma. #WaterlooEats #JapaneseBuffet #SashimiHeaven #StudentLife
