"Wow! We just came to the grand opening of Umi Hotpot, Sushi and seafood buffet in Middletown (at the old Caldor/Golden Coral). This place is absolutely unbelievable. We’ve been to MANY AYCE places and this place takes the cake. Lots of first quality items and ingredients you would ONLY see in top Chinese restaurants. The sushi fish is ala carte quality (not cheap buffet type) Plus unique drinks, ramen, desserts and hotpot is all included in the $33.95 price. Since it just opened, it’s busy but not overly crowded but I can definitely see this place having hour or 2 hour wait times soon." See full posting with photos here.
