  Love this place! I'm vegan and it's one of the only places in Wellington where I can find something delicious and wholesome. The owners are happy to go off menu and create a delicious concoction of veggies and tofu.   (Well maybe willing with a smile might be more appropriate.) I've never actually eaten the buffet options, but family and friends who have joined me have raved about it. It's great food and atmosphere at a great price!!

  I have to say I kind of had my hopes up for this place. I had eaten BOTO as a kid and when I saw it had reopened and even offered sushi now. I read a piece from the local paper, with a few local foodies, saying they had sushi all over and this place could definitely impress. I'm confident now they must have been eating gas station sushi because this place was not even close to par. I ordered the tuna roll and the Philadelphia roll. The tuna roll was so rotten tasting we couldn't even eat it. It had a terrible, rotten fish flavor so we had to throw it away. The philly roll was very basic but left a lot to be desired. We also ordered the curry chicken, which saying it was bland was an understatement.
  
  I have no idea why it's so hard to find a decent Asian restaurant as of lately, I'm starting to lose hope.
