I agree that "excellent" (or even "good") and "buffet" sushi are
usually a contradiction in terms but conveyer belt and boat
sushi can be quite acceptable. The Matuba restaurant in Bethesda
is a case in point tho' for really *interesting* sushi their bar
is much better. The only sushi buffet that I would recommend
around here is that of the Hinode in the Congressional shopping
center in Rockville. The place is very popular and the high
turnover seems to result in decent quality.

A number of Chinese buffets also serve sushi but, even if the
chef is quite skilled, the quality of the raw materials seems
so-so.
