Roger rated this sushi buffet 3 stars, calling it better than Todai but not great for real sushi fans, with a limited, Americanized selection and dry rice, though he recommended the green tea ice cream among the desserts.
The documented visit included green tea ice cream. This record does not turn that order into a recommendation.

“The best thing on the dessert section is the green tea ice-cream, ya'll gotta try it!”
Said the sushi/sashimi selection is limited and mostly Americanized (California rolls, veggie rolls), with dry rice that breaks apart -- not a spot for serious raw-fish fans, though the warm food and dessert selections were decent.
Roger rated this Mission Valley Tender Greens 4 stars, noting it's bigger but also much more crowded than the other Tender Greens locations he's been to.
The Mission Valley outpost of The Kebab Shop, a chain Roger has followed since its East Village original (still his favorite location); lamb doner, shawarma and kebab plates all deliver, though parking and lunch crowds are the tradeoff.
