Todai, Pioneer Square II, Portland, OR P216
 
A Top Pick in the Area
 
This is, without a doubt, the largest seafood buffet ("160 ft. Japanese Seafood Buffet") in Portland.  The food is good, but not great; plentiful (obviously) and beautifully "packaged". 

However, for $21.95 per person for dinner, the tendency is to overeat to make sure you get your money's worth. 

Here are just a few of the listings:  Lobster, cocktail shrimp, snow crab legs, half shell scallops, 40 kinds of Sushi, teriyaki Beef or Chicken, fresh salmon, fruit bar, 20 kinds of dessert, green mussels, sashimi platters, shrimp Tempura.

I haven't tried the lunch for $12.95, but the $21.95 per person for dinner plus $1.75 for a soft drink brought the tab for four of us to $89.55...a bit much, perhaps, to celebrate the excesses of our American economy.

In fairness to Todai, they have just opened in the new Pioneer Place II and they were packed with shoppers investigating Portland's newest "upscale" shopping mall.

Food: B+. Attitude: B. Ambiance: A. Parking: non existent...on the street or in a parking lot. Service: C. Value: B-. Overall rating: B.
