Stuffing our faces

Every once in a while, I abandon my philosophy about good food and eating well. Usually, this happens when I'm really hungry, and feel like being easy on my wallet. When this happens, quantity trumps quality... and where is that better embodied than at an All You Can Eat restaurant?

I've been searching for a decent AYCE sushi for quite some time now in NY. Real estate is expensive here! Yesterday, Jon and I headed deeeeeeep into Brooklyn to try out a place that got decent reviews online. It was called Sake, located in Bensonhurst (there's ANOTHER Chinatown in Brooklyn??). For $12.95 a person, we received little sheets of paper to mark down all the sushi and Japanese appetizers we could fit into our stomachs.

Eating frenzy! Hand rolls, basic maki rolls, and sushi pieces were available, made to order.

Hot (fried) appetizers were also available to order. Clockwise from top left: crab wontons, spring rolls, fried
calamari, sweet potato tempura. These were quite filling... probably not the smartest thing to eat.

Definitely not high grade sushi by any means, but this fulfilled a craving. The place was popular, with people coming in even at 2pm. Turnover must be pretty high; the fish was fairly fresh and tasty. Dinner AYCE is also available for $5 more... looked like there were about a dozen extra maki roll options and more hot appetizers available. Looks like we've found our go-to place (it's also along our subway line, about 6 more stops deeper into Brooklyn). Whoo hoo!
