As a biologist I know the risks but, I know that are ways to reduce the risk and also raw fish is delicious
I love sushi raw fish ahha. For sure, safe bet is to go to a place that knows how to properly handle and prepare raw fish.
This all you can eat seems kind of garbage xD. I think they tried to be too universal and then didn't become good at anything. The rice with the raw fish makes sense. The rice will make you full so they can save money.
I think you could find places with that price range and be better? I'm not sure what it's like there though D:. I see it as like it's ok going once to try but then it's not good enough to go back again :P at least that's the vibe I'm getting reading your post.
The problem is that I live in a very small town hehe! But there is a Japanese place that for me is the best cost for the benefit of eating a good prepared sushi. They have nice deals during lunch time, which are lunch combos. The combo is Five pieces of sashimi, six pieces of nigiri, four pieces of California roll (the only thing from the combo that it sucks), and udon. It is $21.45 . It is a better quality but it is quite limited portion of food, depending on the hunger I need a bit more! hehehe
o.o well you get what you pay for. Gotta break the wallet a bit for better food :P and stay at home to save more money for better food outside? Not sure.
Maybe lunch combos are the way to go x.x. I find best times to go to those nice places is when they doing promo lel
