Sushi buffet, with a twist

I was catching up on my RSS feeds today when I came across Stephen J. Dubner’s May 9th post on the Freakonomics Blog. In the post he writes about Sushi Para II in Chicago, where they have a sushi buffet. You can order all the sushi you want for $17, but if you have any leftovers at the end of your meal, you pay an additional charge for them. It’s an interesting, albeit not new, twist to buffet pricing. Several comments tell of other restaurants with similar policies.

While I love sushi, after looking at the Center Stage user reviews, I’m not sure I’d want to trek all the way out to North Clark Street for what many have said is a bad experience. A few of the reviewers report having been overcharged, which is why I try to keep my dining receipts until the charges get posted to by my bank or credit card company. And if this restaurant is related to Sushi Para in Palatine, I can believe that the service is slow.

I’m glad we’ve got Sushi Station in Rolling Meadows. I just wish they would open one up in Schaumburg.
