The previous owners had a nasty employment scandal, so the place has reopened with a different name. Now there's new owners, and a similar staff, but the same popular food and seating arrangements. The place is big enough to handle large weekend and holiday crowds,...and there is a wide variety of Asian and popular food.More

They decided to make today a special holiday all day dinner menu so it was $20.99 for lunch . My family almost backed out. The add on entrees were the snow crab legs, oysters and sashimi. No ham or turkey carving so I figured it...was not worth it. Our dining experience today came out flat. Though the service was good, the staff was more attentive and friendly compared to another buffet place I went to. I think they need to upgrade their menu already for 2019 . Also please clean you restrooms and the floor needs a major clean up. I think this is it for us and Kokyo.More

Enjoyable selections are offered; especially if you arrive early and get super fresh food like we did. Even the most pickiest eaters will come away hungry. I have been to a few All You Can Eat places and for what they offer it is the...best value for your money. From King Crab legs to dessert you will find the most freshest and mouth watering food here. The sushi offerings are humongous and very good; they have the whole side of the restaurant with sushi and rolls which just worth going hereMore

My son tells me cheap and sushi are two words that never should be used together. The weekday buffet is 11.99 and cheaper for seniors. There is a decent selection of sushi and also a pretty nice selection of Chinese food. The location is upstairs...next door to the theater which has daily matinees for 5.75. Sushi and a movie anyone? Unbelievable bargain place to eat. Buffet for less than most places charge for a plate lunch. There is also an elevator to get to second floor or stairs if you want to work off your lunch.More

Not excellent, but certainly a bargain with plenty of options to feel full. Inexpensive, quick, vegetables, protein...what more could you ask for.

My parents brought me to a place they often go. It was my first time. The place is on the second floor with typical Asian decoration. The buffet has about five buffet table in the center and two on the side for deserts and three...also on the side for sushi. Now the food: It is tasty for the cooked food and the quality is there. The sushi was also good and fresh (you could see the person preparing it). I'll be going there next time I'm in California.More

I'm not a huge buffet fan, but my family and I love coming here because they often have crab legs and a great assortment of sushi. We get our money's worth in sashimi and rolls. It's probably the best buffet in the area, especially for...seafood. It gets packed pretty quickly, but I always think it's worth the wait if you are hungry!More

We like to go on Saturdays as cheaper than Sunday. Good selection of sushi and chinese dishes. Lots of window seating and natural lighting which we prefer. It can be bit crowded at buffet aisle. There are very good at replenishing hot tea. Nice coquilles...St. Jacques scallops.More

My go to fill up on comfort food. Wonderful lunch, usually crowded on weekends but such an assortment of delicious sushis and noodle dishes. Fries were soft and pillowy, maybe a tad bit much on seasonings, fish perfectly done. Buffalo wings were addicting and watermelon...good. Green beans and brocolli on point. When mixed with the rice noodles and green beans - great stuff 5 stars, went back for three servings. Service was very good, we tipped well. The only thing I did not care for was the pig's feet. It was not like pork belly tender and not enough sweet vinegar sauce - maybe needed a hour more on cooking time. The salad dressings needed a bit help. Otherwise, we love much of the other foods.More

My first time here and we came here for a graduation celebration so we had about 3 tables of people. The place was packed but service was good because as soon as we were seated, they asked us for our drink order and brought double...the amount of drinks/water we asked for. They do give you large cups so they don't need to refill! They had sesame balls, buns, pot stickers, broccoli and chicken, green beans, 3-4 different kinds of soups, sushi, salad, desserts, soft serve cones, chow mein, fried chicken wings, spareribs, clams, steamed fish. A good variety of food but my stomach can't handle too much buffet so I had the clams, steamed fish, chicken and mushrooms, fried chicken wings, broccoli, green beans, spareribs and sesame ball and a bowl of tofu seaweed soup and that was plenty for me. I try to stay on a healthy diet! For dessert I went for the custard tart, malasada (or was it a beignet?), honey dew and watermelon, and a chocolate/vanilla swirl. All were good but I got food coma right after we finished eating due to the food and it being a warm day and a social event, also made me take a 2 hour nap after I came home.More

If you have celiac, everything is made in shared cooking services, so beware. The sushi is mostly wheat free, unless it's tempura(breaded and deep fried). Avoid the tempura or tempura sprinkled stuff. Plenty of the hot food... More
