You get what you pay for

Journey is a Japanese/American buffet restaurant that has lots of sea food. If you love sea food and want quantity, and not quality this is the place for you. The unlimited sushi is the best part about it. The sushi is ok but the quantity and verity make up for the other short falls.

Great Value

The Journey is a Japanese/Chinese/American buffet.

No, you are not going to get unlimited top of the end toro (fatty tuna) for your approximately $15 at dinner. Let's be realistic. You can salmon, tuna, and white tuna. But at a sushi restaurant you can barely buy an appetizer for $15. Your choice.

The Journey has a huge selection that is quite rare for Indianapolis. The owners of The Journey are from Chicago -- that's why. They invested a huge amount of money in the restaurant, and it shows. The Journey is more like some of the decent Asian buffets you might find in Chicago or Toronto -- nothing else in Indy comes close.

A Step Above

My wife and I visited the Journey last Friday night, and we were both very pleased. As a couple who enjoys "real" sushi, due to budget contraints on occasion hit the mundane Chinese Buffets and try to sate our craving for sushi with what is almost always sub-standard fair. Does the Journey have Sushi Bar quality sushi? No. No buffet in Indy(since Toyko Buffet closed) has come close to the "real thing". Is The Journey a step(maybe two) above the average buffet? Very much so. I wouldn't even consider touching sashimi in most buffets, but here it looked, not to mention tasted, very fresh and clean without a hint of "fishiness". I have also never had Prime Rib on a buffet as good. Usually it is dry, over cooked, and closer to jerky, but here, it was cooked around medium, tender, juicy, and fork tender. To keep this short(er) let me just say that everything we tried was a cut above the normal buffet, barring the calamari, which is almost impossible to get right on a buffet anyway. Bottom line? If you want an asian experience, with some decent quality sushi, but don't want to spend the $$$ for the full Sushi bar experience, this is the place to do it.
