A Janpanese cuisine restaurant to avoid

I have no interest in Japanese food anyway,but several friends of mine recommend a Japanese cuisine restaurant called Jiu Bing Wei in Heping Road.Dissent effectless ,I had to follow them to have a buffet dinner there.
The fee is 48 yuan per person if you don't order sashimi,or else each person should pay 68 yuan. It sounds a resonable price (Japanese food is always expensive),actually , what we can order is limited. Despite the price and service,as far as taste is concerned, Japanese cuisine should be lite ,but what we taste is only salty.Except sushi ,I can't find any other good dishes ,but the sushi ,is compared with the others to be good ,not really excellent. We had no appetite to swallow the unsavory dishes ,so we decide to go away and asked for the bill ,guess ,what happened? The servant told us we should eat up all the dishes we ordered ,otherwise ,we had to pay more for the leftover .At the end,we payed extra 20 yuan for two unsavoury dishes ,and the servant miscalculated the bill (we surely have no possibility to pay less),when we found the mistake,we almost wearied of patience.
Oh,What a unpleasant experience!So if you really enjoy the Japanese cuisine ,go to Roppongi ,No.12 in the South Street Xi'an,south of the KaiYuan Shopping Mall,easy to find, it is not bad indeed.
