Orchid Japanese Restaurant sates buffet enthusiasts without the buffet bar, letting patrons order unlimited eats from the kitchen and sushi-bar menus without leaving their seats. The sushi-bar menu packs a full selection of sushi and sashimi, including everything from shucked red clams to sliced red snapper to torn red tape. Specialty rolls such as the Yummy maki packages eel, avocado, and mango into easy-to-eat spools topped with spicy tuna and crunchy tobiko. Prometheus scholars can celebrate fire with grilled selections from the kitchen menu such as teriyaki chicken, salmon, shrimp, and steak. Staffers prepare all dishes fresh to order and transport them straight to tables, preventing guests from expending unnecessary calories. A sleek, brightly lit interior illuminates hunger-wreckers, who can watch over the creation of chefs-d'oeuvres at the sushi bar.
