The expansive high-quality buffet allows diners unlimited access to grab everything from prime new york strip steak to lunchtime favorite korean short ribs. The smorgasbord also includes staples such as tempura-crusted softshell crab, yaki soba, fresh sushi, and fresh sashimi. The lunch buffet boasts goodies such as teriyaki chicken, tempura shrimp, and fried rice.

Alternatively, the menu showcases innovative and traditional sushi rolls such as the eight-piece philadelphia roll, in which smoked salmon and avocado embrace cream cheese, or the fruit roll, a mélange of asian fruit and cream cheese crowned with sliced mango, kiwi, and strawberry. Imported Kirin beer or specialty martinis from the full-service bar unparch throats as patrons admire the restaurant's dark-wood interior and large booth-side aquariums, where fish gather around campfires to scare each other by reading passages from Moby-Dick.

Helmed by a L'ecole French Culinaire graduate who previously worked in Japanese restaurants throughout New York City, the culinarieans at Sea Bistro & Sushi Bar have created more than 15 chef's signature sushi rolls and classic Thai and Asian entrees.

Mounted floral art and decorative plants accent the eatery’s gold walls, cultivating a dining atmosphere that’s more relaxed than Thanksgiving in a sauna.

Grand Buffet's chefs slice fresh vegetables and sear meats in an open kitchen to craft a menu packed with more than 80 classic Chinese and Japanese favorites. The team fills huge chafing dishes with sweet, sour, and spicy buffet treats, including a spread of sushi at lunch and seafood at dinner. Though many patrons enjoy mix-and-matching, chefs also accommodate diners who want their favorite dish. House specialties include beef and scallops with garlic sauce and orange chicken, as well as traditional fare such as chow mein, fried rice, and egg foo young. Alternatively, diners can create-their-own entrees, allowing them to enjoy their favorite vegetables or edit their own fortunes.

Hailing from humble beginnings in a renovated Mississippian gas station, McAlister's Deli has revolutionized the concept of fast food with healthy fare recognized by Parents in 2009. Premium ingredients, such as Black Angus roast beef and black forest ham, pile upon stuffed potatoes or artisan bread, sating hungers and silencing stomachs before they recite bank-account numbers. As patrons wait for servers to deliver meals, they sip signature sweet tea, swirled together onsite daily from pure cane sugar and a rainforest-certified black-tea blend as dictated by a closely guarded recipe.

What do you get when you cross a mechanical engineer from Chicago and a businessman from Jackson, Mississippi? An Indopak restaurant steeped in the aroma of piquant spices. The Grill gathers its recipes from every region inside the Indian and Pakistani borders, filling out a menu of curries, tandoori, and rice dishes. More than 18 vegetarian items offer a meat-free alternative to chicken cooked in butter sauce or tandoori dishes, including rashmi kebab—white meat flavored with cardamom and cinnamon. A lunch buffet on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays stuffs guests with as much as their stomach and papier-mâché dates can hold.

Fino's from the Hill lures passersby into its unassuming storefront with an aromatic selection of Italian deli items. The family-owned eatery's staffers load up bread with gourmet fillings such as prosciutto, provel cheese, red pepper marinade, and green olive dressing, and they also simmer pots of fresh, homemade soup every day. Daily soup, pasta, and dessert specials keep regulars on their toes, enticing them to swing in and try exotic eats—such as blueberry mascarpone cake or spinach-artichoke turnovers—that aren't listed on the regular menu or the FBI's Most Wanted off My Dinner Plate list.
