It seems that every time we find an awesome sushi restaurant, they close in the wake of a bad economy, not enough advertising, and a slow start with clientel. Orchid, if you are reading this, PLEASE do not close! We think you are fabulous!
Orchid is an "all you can eat" sushi restaurant on Creedmoor at Stonehenge. As far as "all you can eat" restaurants go, this one rocks! It's not really a "buffet;" however, it is all you can eat. You order off of a menu and the rolls are made to order. You can stop at just a few rolls, have some sashimi, salad, tempura calamari, and then order some specialty rolls, or you can tell them to "keep 'em coming!" The sushi was very fresh with the exception of the spicy tuna roll. I'm always sketchy about spicy tuna rolls. It seems like they use the tuna from the day before, mush it all up, add some spicy sauce, and then stick it in a roll. It didn't taste as fresh as the sashimi. The sashimi on the other hand was SUPER fresh! In addition to sushi, the "all you can eat" also includes teriyaki, tempura, several appetizers, soup, salad, and ice cream. I recommend the Sweet Potato roll. I think that one is my favorite! They also have a larger roll with mango sauce on it. Great combination with the fresh sushi!
So, sushi and "all you can eat." That must mean expensive! Actually, no. Orchid is $13.95 for lunch and $23.95 for dinner. If you order two of the bigger rolls, you've already met your price quota. Any lower and I'd be sketchy of the quality. Any higher and it would scare people away.
Daryl and I have become regulars and would recommend it to anyone!
