Folks here generally prefer Makino for sushi/seafood buffet...

Unfortunately they have no Strip locations; the closest is in the
Premium Outlet mall just west of the downtown area.

The other place you mentioned sounds vaguely like the Hawaiian
Marketplace on the Strip just north of MGM Grand, but I don't recall
the restaurant you describe or the stone pelicans. Up the escalator
there's now an Indian restaurant called Tamba.

Todai isn't bad at all, but I also like Makino better. My last visit
at Todai was also a few years back. If you want a sushi buffet on the
Strip, Todai is perfectly ok.

Somehow, your description of the other place made me think of the Tiki
bar at the Venetian which has since closed. But I don't remember them
offering mongolian bbq.

Sounds like the Hawaiian marketplace. Unfortunately, the restaurants
there come and go frequently. Last time I was there in October, all
were closed.
