Wasabi

Wasabi is a Japanese(ish) buffet house in Mississauga. Like most establishments in this suburban city, it is huge. There are 6-7 rooms with tables for 50-60 people per room. The main area contains the buffet with 2 live stations. One station has chefs preparing various sushi plates. Sushi is available in most Chinese buffet nowadays but there is more variety here. The second station makes yakitori (meat skewers) and other grilled dishes. The remaining buffet contains a mix of Asian and Canadian dishes such as noodles, onion rings, chicken fingers, and so on, all of which are deeply fried except for the salad and dessert bars.

It's typical buffet food though there is more Japanese food than at other Asian buffets. But all the sushi seem oddly sweet, and not just the mango and goat cheese maki. The grilled meat is reasonable tasty. The rest of the dishes are what you would expect for $16 at lunch-time, if you can ignore the feeling that you are clogging up your arteries with each mouthful. There is a fair variety of dessert include cheese cake, tiramisu, chocolate cake, and other baked goods.
