POC American Fusion Buffet & Sushi

This was my second trip to POC in a fairly short space of time, and it continued to stand up very well! Prior to this year, it had been a good number of years since I had been there, and there had been some issues in need of rectifying. Most pleasingly, POC seems to have come through strongly.

Here in South Florida, with a vast profusion of sushi establishments - even buffets - proliferating across the landscape, you really have to do something right to survive. POC, out in Weston, is doing that. They do not have the largest selection of offerings on their buffet - unlike, say, a Shinju, whose spaces tend to be a great deal larger - but they compete very well on the quality of their offerings. And again, while that quality isn't what a traditional sushi restaurant might offer, it does not show poorly in comparison - and it's a buffet. All of those choices are very well-thought out, made of good quality ingredients, and kept nicely fresh in the turnaround. I am particularly a fan of their sashimi offerings, with a balsamic-marinated whitefish that is simply delightful and pepper-crusted cuts of salmon and tuna that could easily comprise my entire meal if I allowed.

On their hot bar, I'm a tremendous fan of the meat cuts they bring, which - as may surprise you, unless you know Weston location's demographic - have a marked (and well-heeled Latin American flavor. In particular, the small cuts of steak they offer, along with the grilled sausage, are a really nice counterpoint to the sushi if you'd like a little turf with your surf.

The final element I will mention is the service. All servers in the establishment are highly attentive and there was never any issue with our drinks being kept properly filled and fresh, or used dishes being cleared away. I've gone away from both these visits being quite impressed with the work ethic and cheerful good humor which was fun to play along with.

Now if only I could keep from eating quite so much!
