food is great. place is admirable! great servers, especially this Asian dude, he’s funny. he looks pretty young. But yeah, a lot of choices, their salmon rolls were pretty good. they have oysters and a lot of choices. Always asking for refills. great experience! they also have this water fountain with fishes. I think that was really cute.

Ok. Second time around, somewhat better. Same food as always… typical Chinese buffet. Had the raw oysters, but this time, they seemed to be a bit better quality. Still not *quite* up to par with the likes of Sea Island or Fish City, but you get what you pay for. Sushi was actually really good! Stuffed mushrooms: EXCELLENT! Couldn’t eat as much as I have in the past… still dealing with the side effects of meds. :-(But the overall quality this time was better, so I’ll give Teppanyaki the benefit of the doubt. Service good. Standard drink service. Not too bad. I think that we will return at least one more time.

Gave this place 2 stars solely because they have pretty good sushi(considering it’s a buffet), and our waiter was more attentive than any waiter I’ve ever had at a Chinese buffet. Otherwise the restaurant was a complete disappointment. All of the food on the buffet was mediocre at best. The Mongolian style grill had your typical items, but somehow fell short on flavor. My expectations for a Chinese buffet are never very high, but this place didn’t even meet those.

What a difference a year makes! Last year I was here and gave this place five stars for the outstanding variety of sushi… I returned today to find three quarters of this sushi plates were empty and I have uploaded photos proving it. I understand sometimes they can get caught behind but I waited in vain for 20 minutes to see only one average dish put out… There were complaints from other patrons who waited even longer than I was. My impression was they were intentionally slow and had no interest in putting out large volumes of expensive Seafood. The wait staff were incredible as always very gracious and polite and attentive… the rest of the foods that were offered were awesome as well and a huge variety… they have very hard workers working here. Which is why I give it three stars if I was here just for Chinese food and Hibachi this is the place to go… If you’re coming here for sushi which was the reason I came here today, then I would check out to see if the sushi is up to par as far as being available if not go somewhere else.

Their sushi is the best ever! Its a bit pricey but they do have a bit selection. It gets packed A LOT unless you go during lunch or earlier.

Let me preface this with the fact that I rarely go to buffets. But a nearby billboard made the place seem appetizing. Pulling into our parking spot we noticed the electric signage has«American Chinese Japanese» this is never a good sign. The interior very clean, as are the serving tables. Another thing I noticed is that you pay before you dine. I suspect there were more than a few done and dashes. Most of the food was fresh, fried shrimp was frozen packaged shrimp and stale, the egg rolls were stale but I didn’t chew long enough to tell if it was a frozen packaged item or fresh made. One of the sushi rolls has been sitting out for a while, rice was drier than expected. Everything else I tried, adobo chicken, general tso, bacon wrapped chicken, and half dozen other things were great and out for less than an hour. Also had a fresh made pork and egg noodle Mongolian style bbq fresh made that was great, only needed a pinch of salt. Otherwise they have the typical Chinese buffet fare, slightly overpriced but worth it if you like freshness in your buffet fare.

I come from Canada and I’m amazed with the price and the variety that they have. On the weekends you can find crab legs and oysters for dinner. I love those. I also love their sushi. But some of the items don’t look or taste the best. But the variety is incredible. Overall it’s an ok place.

The sushi is good and there is a big variety. However it was the worst seafood poisoning that my husband ever experienced. We had been there quite a few times before and never had a problem but this was a first bad experience and will be our last visit.

Ate here for the first time with a couple of friends. They had a variety of food but most of it didn’t taste too fresh. The sushi bar was by far my favorite. Had a lot to choose from the sushi bar and the best sushi I’ve had at a buffet. Our waitress was shy but nice. It was a little uncomfortable considering she sat at a table right near us and watched us eat.

Place is huge ! Good selection of different foods. We went on a sunday and it was pretty busy and they kept it well stocked.

Today was my first time and I was impressed. My partner is picky and she pointed out how clean it was. Excellent hibachi and sushi options make it a great value all around. The one question for the owners — why don’t you offer wifi? We couldn’t get any internet access whatsoever on our AT&T-networked iPhones. Also, I read there is a game room? I didn’t see one.

Chinese buffets are perfect for the kind of person who wants hibachi, a vast amount of choices of Chinese food, sushi and dessert and this place definitely has it all. I really love the mass amount of options they have available and the fact that the place is so big that you aren’t forced to basically share a table with your neighbor. I am in love with the hibachi grill and I wish that they’d offer a discounted price for those of us who’d just like to capitalize on that and the sushi bar. As for the other food, I enjoy the fried rice(although I’ve had better), the salt and pepper shrimp and the pepper steak. I did not like the general tso’s chicken, broccoli and beef, as they all tasted artificial and had way too much salt. The hibachi offers choices like pork, chicken, steak, shrimp, vegetables, fruit(yay for pineapple!) and all kinds of sauces. I really love whatever red spicy sauce they use because it adds a perfect kick. You can also add rice or lo mein noodles. The sushi bar is equally wonderful and it has always been fresh. My biggest problem with this place is that it is so expensive for a buffet. It costs about the same as going to Golden Corral. It was about 30 $ for two people and we had water. A few other things that troubled me were the game room and how expensive it is to play games in there. The«prizes» are basically your generic dollar store items. This is no Chuck E Cheeses, folks. 5 games were broken and the floor really needed a good steam cleaning. All in all, it’s probably the best Chinese buffet in the area, seeing as how I didn’t see any cockroaches, my drink was always refilled and there were tons and tons of options to choose from. Also, my sushi had cream cheese AND was fresh! I’ll be back if only for the Hibachi and sushi bar.

This buffet has a casino like feel to it. You may see a person with a mic headpiece walking around telling the back what foods are almost finished so they can make more(this place is huge). Also there’s a game room on the other side if you haven’t stuffed yourself to immobility. Like most casino buffets you pay before you eat so if using a credit or debit card get ready to calculate the tip. They have a customize your own stir fry in the back area. Grab a bowl, put what you like, give it to the cook and A few minutes later it’s done nice and fresh. They have a nice selection of Sushi and Chinese(I didn’t try anything American). Some of the Chinese dishes lack flavor but chances are you’ll find something you like. Is it the best sushi I’ve ever had, no but if you just going to get your fix it’ll do.

First of all, it is a beautiful place. Second, there are a lot of varieties of food including seafood, Sushi, desserts, and some items like fried chicken and pizza. Oh, ice cream as well. Food was very good with most being fresh and hot and others just a bid tepid. Of course, there weren’t many that were tepid in temperature. We love coming here for the variety that my wife and I enjoy. It is not cheap, dinner tonight for two adult meals, one water, and one hot tea was $ 27. But it was well worth it. And they’re usually busy. Give it a try. You won’t be disappointed.

I particularly enjoyed this place. After reading countless good reviews and realizing how close this place is to my gym, we planned a Sunday afternoon around it. It’s cleaner than your average buffet. The freshly made sushi area is reason enough to go, flavor-wise you’re getting at best 3 stars worth, but when you can try a little of everything and add on seaweed, crab, cucumber salads and some hand rolls, that’s where the other star comes from. They also have a mongolian grill station which is pretty standard, delicious if you compile it right. And it has everything else you usually find at an asian buffet. There’s an arcade area too but the whole germ factor of kids being gross, then handling the serving utensils makes that a negative in my book. The restroom is cleaner than I expected and the parking lot is spacious.

The place is pretty big. Has a huge room with pool tables and arcades. If you don’t look for it, you walk by it. The food was tasty, and there was a lot of it. If you like salad, don’t bother. Almost no salad. But it’s a Buffett not souper salad. They have Mongolian grill, and you can also give a plate if noodles and veggies, they can make soups instead of Mongolian stir fry. It is a pretty clean place. A lot of choices to choose from. I will return. 11.95 for a weekend adult… NO military discount. 18.00 for 2 during weekday lunchtime.

This place offers exactly what you’ve come to expect from an Asian buffet: chicken in brown sauce, chicken in red sauce, chicken in orange sauce and chicken in yellow sauce. If that’s what you’re into, you’ll find plenty to like here. But let me tell you about what sets this place apart from – and above – the others. The teppanyaki bar(which is essentially a Mongolian stir fry) allows you to select your own meats, vegetables and sauces for a custom creation. Maybe that’s not too unusual, but then they do the same thing with a do-it-yourself soup section, which lets you to make your own phở and other soups with your choice of noodles, meats and vegetables. Pretty cool. Then there’s the massive game room. Kids getting bored? Send ‘em off to play skee ball! Or maybe you can engage in a cut-throat game of air hockey in between courses. It’s like Chuck E. Cheese, but with food you’ll actually enjoy eating. But the biggest thing Teppanyaki Grill & Buffet offers that really sets them apart is the excellent sushi bar. All-you-can-eat sushi! And both the quality and the selection are surprisingly good. One thing I noticed is that they don’t bother to put any wasabi under the fish, probably figuring that most of their customers will adhere to the American custom of dipping the sushi into a pool of soy-soaked wasabi on their plates. An excellent first impression from this ambitious new restaurant – check it out! P. S. All-you-can-eat sushi!(^_^)

What can I say that hasn’t been said? Not much, so let’s summarize what we know from the previous reviews. * Size — This place is huge. * Game Room — Bigger than most restaurants. * Buffet — Reminiscent of the Great Wall of China * Food — Better than most Chinese buffets but not quite as good as a non-buffet place. * Variety — Lots of sushi, Mongolia grill, Americanized Chinese dishes, some western. * X Factor — REAL ice cream, the hard kind, self serve. * Price — Reasonable: lunch is like $ 8.95 and dinner $ 11.95(excl. drinks) The fact is, when it comes to Chinese buffets I go in knowing that the quality is not on par with most decent non-buffet Chinese restaurants — I willingly sacrifice quality for variety and quantity. Knowing this going in, I was very satisfied with the quality of the buffet items and I would have no hesitations going back — although my personal trainer might! The only real knock against this place is the non-centralized utensil station which leaves you wandering this vast establishment like my wife at a flea market! FYI — They do offer«buffet to go» as well as sushi to go($ 8/lb).
