   When I went there last week, food that should be hot was hot enough.
However, miso soup was luke warm. I'd rather have hot miso soup near the end
of meal _without_ a spoon. If I had known that miso soup comes with the
buffet, I would have asked them to bring it later.

   Last weak, there were more pieces of tempura than a couple of people could
eat. I though that they were doing a pretty good job in keeping the buffet bar
full of food. One thing that I missed was plain steamed rice that would have
gone well with grilled fish.

   Don't worry. That "shrimp tempura" couple wasn't there when we were
there. Besides, you don't miss much if you cannot eat their so-so shrimp
tempura. 8-)
