In the heat of post pandemic and as a local, I'm always trying my best to support local businesses like hachi sushi. 2 years ago, this place was the Bomb amongst all you can Eat Asian buffet in Regina. But everything has changed for the worst to this place.

1.There used to be a very friendly staff there that smiles and greets you once you open their door. Now, a seemingly confused staffs with poor command of the English language will stop you and will ask you if you are there for buffet or ala carte.

2. Their sushi rolls were the best before! The proportion of rice and meat and veggies are almost equal. Even the sauce is plenty! But now, it's poorly prepared. I mean, I almost lock my jaw for eating a sushi roll that just looks like a slab of rice. Uneven portions and it's very squishy and easily breaks when you try to put some soy sauce on it.

3. The special orders in their IPad, takes forever to come. It's not precise and there is a lot of inconsistencies that is missing from the Hachi Sushi I know 2 years ago. I'm a big fan of chicken feet, right from the start before I even start getting some food on their conveyor belt, I will order in the iPad my favorite chicken feet. Yup. I waited. I waited 1 hour and 15mins for it. Until the time it came, I'm already full in my stomach and don't have the appetite to enjoy my chicken feet.

4. I understand that in running a business, there is wear and tear, the covers of their small conveyor plates are broken. So it's no question why I am seeing a lot of fruit fly and fly infestations going on. This matter is a health concern for people who eats there and missed to see them critters.

5. The tempura. To be specific is the shrimp tempura. It comes crispy on the outside but be very observant. The shrimp inside is either undercooked or is gamey. Also! The tempura sauce! Haha! I think you can drink it. It almost taste like water! There's so little to no flavour on it!

6. The edamame, I do not know personally how to.prepare this kind of food but come on, it's one of the few foods that we like to request once we get a seat. And it comes very long. And when it comes,.it's drowning in salt and does it usually served wet?

7. The staffs I know are trying their best to do their job and be pleasant to the people that dines in. But the woman in the cashier is not doing a great job running the show. 2 years ago, even then pops are unlimited, now you can only get a maximum of 2 cans. I do not know where you get your tap water because that water taste like very suspicious.

8. I don't recall that they have crab legs since. But for the price of their buffet right now, they should include that at least..also, when you get there, look at under your table, there's a lot of left over foods and cutleries there. I don't think they clean spaces very well. Maybe when all customers are gone.

9. I should have listened to my wife the last time we ate there, we were very disappointed. We should've get our money's worth in Quan Ngon instead. At least we know that our food is served hot & fresh and not that pricey!

10. So upon paying with a family of 4, I have numbers rolling in my head since it's just lunch buffet, I'm supposed to pay around 60-70 dollars but to my shock, i was told by the angry cashier lady that I need to pay for service charge (also known as tip) which by the way is 13% of the total amount of the buffet experience. I asked her, is this normal here now? And she did not bother answer that. She tried to sway my attention and said "you want some fortune cookies?.. anyways, 13%+11%taxes, instead of paying around 60$, I ended up paying 94$ for a lunch buffet. I should have a refund. I don't think it's right for her to decide how much tip I will give.

11. I miss the Hachi Sushi management before. Totally different from this one Now. If there is a zero star, it would be my rating here now. I suggest this all you can Eat buffet to no one. I will give this place 2 months maximum if they dont make any good changes, just like the I like sushi on North, this too will close.
