Toto is serving pop at Mika in Federal Way

It's an all-you-can-eat extravaganza down at Mika Japanese Buffet

To your knowledge, Toto lives in Kansas.  Dortothy's little basket-riding confidant should be safely tucked away in some make believe midwestern dog bed.

Not anymore.

Toto is now working at MIka Japanese Buffet in Federal Way.  He's been reincarnated as a tall buffet server of Japanese (or Asian) descent.  I know this to be a fact because he refilled our root beers and cleared the dirty plates from our table as we dined at Mika just a few weeks ago.  As more proof, he even told us his name was Toto.

It's an all-you-can-eat extravaganza down at Mika Japanese Buffet in Federal Way.  Serving both lunch and dinner from $9.99 and $17.99 respectively, Mika gives a family-friendly and eclectic twist on buffet dining.  Kids eat for $10.99, and I can tell you the chocolate fountain and dessert buffet is what makes this establishment worth every penny for your kiddo.

Sashimi, sushi rolls, steamed clams, frog legs, shrimp, rice, noodles, baked scallops, seafood pancakes, salmon, soups, kim chi and edemame are just a few of items on MIka's delectable mile-long buffet line.

They even have these sweet donuts that lovingly remind me of Pancho's free sopapillas.  Fellow Texans will know what I'm talking about when I mention Pancho's sopapillas.  Except at Mika you don't have to raise a flag at your table, you can just get up and help yourself.  I know this because I did just that.  Five times.  Burp.
