Just so you guys know. Todai closed on January 17th its employes had found out THE DAY OF at the end of the night everyone was told that Todai was closing. It was bound to happen I guess, not for the quality of food or anything but for the matter that it was a SUSHI AND SEAFOOD BUFFET. BUFFET. this meaning you could have all you wanted to eat and some customers would load up, and I mean LOAD UP on JUST crab legs and jumbo shrimp. The cost of seafood has gone up A LOT in recent years and Todai has had to try and keep up witht he market leading to the higher prices and lower amounts of food. So for everyone who wants to make rude comments might I remind you of this bad economy. Also think about the location INSIDE, PIONEER PLACE MALL. in DOWNTOWN. That rent bill was going to be crazy expensive. So yes... the day Todai closed employees were asked to pick up their last Paychecks then they literally just shut the doors and have returned to do some removing of things or selling of others. Perhaps you should all consider the 65 employees who have lost their jobs, in this economy it may be months before they find another. I will miss Todai, great food, great people, great atmosphere... sad to see this place go.... o and fyi. 2 Todais closed in Washington and a few in the south... so its not just this was... 10 years ago when the Economy was booming it was a great Idea for a sushi seafood buffet... but now... after everything our economy has put us thru, it made it hard... think about it and A LOT of buffets are going out of business....\r
