All in one eatery is exactly as it's named and more. I thought I had a big appetite until I came here-- the portions are more than adequate and the variety of their menu is so vast that there's something for everyone! Their sushi was so fresh and super yummy! We also tried the gyoza, dumplings, the udon, fried rice, miso soup, and some boba drinks. Truly everything was delicious, and I wanted to try more but I was way too full! They also had the robot servers which were really cool, but we also had a real server who took care of us during our stay which was super nice. Overall a great experience and I want to come back to keep trying more dishes!

My mom and I came here for lunch on a Saturday. There was no wait and we were immediately seated at the sushi bar. When we left the whole waiting area was full so we lucked out. It's kind of bothersome that on the weekends you pay the dinner price for food even at lunch. I will make sure if I go again to go on a week day. I will say that you can get a lot of different things for just paying the one price. I've been to Asian buffets that have a lot of the same things for cheaper though. The food was pretty good. I don't know if they do this all the time but a boba tea was included with our meal so that was a nice added touch. I'd like to come here again and try more. The ordering on the tablet was really convenient and there are pictures of everything so you know what you are getting. Overall a good place for a fun and unique experience.

Was it top notch quality? No. But was there a ton of variety and was service superb? Oh yea. Do yourself a favor and get onto the waitlist online. By 5pm, the waitlist was already an hour and a half. We putzed over at 7pm and were seated within ten minutes. All ordering is on a tablet. Sometimes the cat robot delivers your food, most of the time it's a human. Sushi can take a while to get to your table, especially rolls. All apps seemed like they had been previously frozen, and cooked entrees and apps are likely huge batch made. Some drinks, like the boba, are free!!! Other drinks, like teas, are 5$. I did get the taro milk tea with some jelly. SO GOOD. I was shocked, didn't taste like powder milk tea at all. They don't have regular tapioca, and you're forced to get at least 1 with your drink. Service was great. Definitely a fun place to try a ton of random things, or if you have a large party. We waited a long time to try this place, and I'm so glad we did.

AN ABSOLUTE AMAZE, AMAZE, AMAZE - Well only during lunch time though!!! $21 for endless Sushi and Oriental food with amazing taste is as good as a dream thee days!! We went on a Friday afternoon around 12 and there was about a 30 min wait - moving pretty fast. You have to register with your phone number and they text you when your table is almost ready. That's when you need to go back to the front desk, otherwise you lose your spot in like 10 mins!!! Once we got seated, we had to order from a small tablet on the table. They tell you to order most of your food in the first round because after you submit it, the menu gets locked for 15 mins. Little annoying I guess. We started with a bunch of specialty (non vegan and non raw) sushi and around 5 appetizers (fried calamari, wings, shrimp, suimai, dumplings etc). Everything tasted really good, especially the specialty rolls. The steamed dumplings, fried rock shrimp and wings were also solid. We were not hungry after the first round. Second round we went for chicken fried rice and hibachi shrimp and honestly that hit the spot - chicken fried rice was the best!! Then we ended with sesame balls and called it a day. Food quality was honestly top notch and the taste was great overall. The decor is simple but has a nice Japanese vibe, feels inviting. Service could have been a bit quicker but the place was packed so kind of expected. We were seated near the bar so none of the robots actually served us, but we did see one moving human like robot around waving at guests haha. Honestly, dinner has a few more specialty sushi and main options included, but I don't think you are missing much for paying $15 extra. I would definitely recommend this place for lunch.

Aioe is a new favorite of mine because of their large selection of items that are also customizable for a great price. The service has also been great! Very attentive servers. My favorites from their menu are the skewers and the beef short ribs. The desserts were a bit lackluster when we first went, but they just added gelatos to their menu so I'd like to think they're finding ways of improving! Their place is also clean, tidy, and spaceous. It's a step up from the buffets we have in town for sure.

This new restaurant offered a unique, first-rate buffet experience during my dine-in lunch. I liked the extensive menu, the made to order buffet approach and the cheerful service. It was a great opportunity to try foods new to me including squid salad, gyoza, Alaska roll, dim sum, udon and a sesame ball. This Japanese, Chinese, Thai restaurant offered an extensive buffet (and takeout dishes) with 88 (by my count) lunch items including soups, salads, appetizers, skewers, maki rolls, sushi rolls, deep fried rolls, dim sum, Chinese entrées, hibachi grill, ramen soup, udon, pad thai, rice and desserts. The 140 item (by my count) dinner menu was more extensive and more exotic with options including octopus and more salmon options. The dinner menu also added sushi appetizers and sashimi. Dinner items were available during lunch, but for a small surcharge per item. Items were ordered via the touchpads located at each table and delivered by robot to your table. The menu pictures showed portion size and helped me to select items I had never tried before. The time from order entry to robot delivery ranged from four to 12 minutes with items being delivered as they were ready instead of waiting for the entire order to be complete - nice! The minimum time between orders was set at 15 minutes, which was not an issue. I found the items to be fresh and at appropriate temperatures, since they were not sitting under a heat lamp like at other buffets. Every item was also nicely presented and delicious. The dining area was clean and new with upbeat contemporary background music, four areas and a sushi bar. Every member of the staff I encountered was cheerful and polite. Beverage orders and plate removal were handled promptly by the attentive waiter. The very reasonable buffet rules are: 1) order anything, as much as you like, 2) please finish what you order, 3) leftovers may be charged, 4) no takeout for AYCE meals. Adult lunch buffet prices (11A-3P M-F) are currently $21 adult and $11 kids (4-11), while dinner prices are currently $36 adult and $15 kids (4-11). Overall, excellent! It's a good addition to the OP area!

Le bf and I went on a Friday for lunch and a couple hours after they opened, there was already about an hour ish wait. So I highly recommend making sure you check and get on the waitlist before heading over! Once seated, it was PACKED and pretty loud with everyone surrounding you. Our waiter was super cool and answered all our questions. We went ham on the crab rangoons, ordered 4 times! I also ordered a couple sashimi, Kani salad, this tuna ball with crab meat inside (highly recommend that), steamed dim sum items, just anything and everything! I enjoyed everything EXCEPT the baked mussels. They were plain mussels with crab meat on top, little to almost no sauce or anything that typically goes with baked mussels, ick! The rest, delish!

Spring rolls, crab wonton. Chicken fried rice

We tried this place out when visiting KC for the weekend. We did not realize if was all you can eat till we were on the waiting list inside the restaurant. For the price $35 per person, you would expect the customer service to be a bit more than it was. No one greeted us, our waiter wasn't attentive. They have a robot serve some of the food to the tables. For $35 pp drinks are not Included, which seems kinda crazy. The food was ok. But definitely not $35 all you can eat worth. For what we paid for a family of 4 we could have gone to a nicer more upscale restaurant. I've had better sushi at other places locally. I would have enjoyed more attentive service. This place has a strict "leftovers" policy meaning they charge your for uneaten food that you leave.

Easy to use!

Very happy with our lunch today. Arrived at 1130am, no wait for a table. Our human server arrived promptly to see if we needed help ordering on the tabletop kiosk. (Nope! It's very easy!) Food arrived relatively fast. Human server brought all the items from the kitchen and the robot delivered our sushi. Fun touch and still glad they are employing real people alongside to humanize the experience. Everything was delicious. Everything! We had crab Rangoon, shrimp tempura, gyoza, and both beef and chicken skewers as appetizers. Then we dove headfirst into the sushi menu and never managed to escape. Would like to come back and try many of my other favorites like pad thai and soup dumplings but didn't want to overdo it today! Fried Oreos for dessert were the perfect little bite to end the meal. The decor is so much better than the old Applebee's... Beautiful style and feels elevated and fresh.

My kids and I love sushi. We tried this restaurant for the first time this weekend and loved it! We all agreed it is our new favorite place. One learning curve... once you place an order from a certain category- you have to wait 15 minutes to place another one. Additionally- if you add items to your 'cart' on the table top system- and wait too long to place it- your cart will get emptied. We ordered the perfect amount of food so didn't have anything leftover. Fried Oreos were a favorite- we got three orders. My personal favorite was the sashimi. It was fresh and tasty. We only ordered sushi, the soup dumplings and dessert. Our waiter was helpful, kind and attentive. The space is cool. Used to be a Chili's but you'd never know. We also loved talking to the table guests around us for recommendations and our next trip.

I don't hand out lower ratings lightly, but I have little patience for murky business practices, and unfortunately, that's where this experience stumbles. The setup strongly implies that beverages are included in the $35 all you can eat price. Everything is ordered via tablet except soft drinks-fancy drinks yes but not the normal drinks-, which you request from a server. Nowhere is it made clear that those sodas quietly tack on an additional $3.50 each. Had it been transparent, I would have paid without a second thought. But the omission feels deliberate, and that kind of sleight of hand casts an unnecessary shadow over the entire experience. There are bright spots. The robot servers are undeniably charming, a playful and memorable touch that adds to the novelty. The food itself is solid, not extraordinary. Portions are small, which works beautifully in an all you can eat format, allowing you to sample widely without waste or regret. Standouts included the squid salad and the Hot Mess roll, both genuinely delicious. The sashimi was fresh and of good quality, while the crab rangoon was perfectly average, neither offensive nor noteworthy. The fried Oreos, however, were a letdown. The tempura lacked flavor, though a scoop of ice cream did its best to salvage the dish. This is, above all, an experience driven restaurant. It is fun, interactive, and a bit different, but if you are chasing a truly exceptional meal, this is not the place. A practical note, join the waitlist before you arrive. It is still riding the wave of newness and draws a crowd, even at off peak hours. As for the process, you will order drinks through a server, then handle everything else on a tablet at your table. You can only submit an order every 10 minutes, so plan accordingly and make sure you include everything you want each time. Once you submit, you will be waiting a bit before your next round. In short, come for the novelty, enjoy the variety, and keep an eye on the fine print.

Got there at 930 last night. I took the iPad to order, I ordered appetizers for us & my dinner, then we started to pass it around, first my son, then my daughter. While my daughter was ordering it went to zero items in the cart. I thought maybe she had submitted it to the kitchen but it was not under our orders. You can only submit an order every 10 mins. By the time we got our first order in, it was almost 10p. They close at 11 but you cannot order after 1030. We didn't get 5 different sushi orders that we ordered at various times. They did make us two rolls to go which was nice but the overall experience we've had at all you can eat sushi places have been much smoother.

Amazing new addition to OP. We walked in on a Saturday at around 4:30 and were told the wait would be about 2 hours. We ended up deciding to wait and boy was it worth it! The food tasted really fresh and their sushi was surprisingly high quality for a buffet. We got seated pretty quickly as soon as our number was up. We enjoyed the vibe and it was overall a really positive experience

What happens if I bring my own vessel to take leftovers home, how would they monitor that?

No. Like most buffets.

What happens if we order a dish and don't like it? Do we still have to finish it to avoid a charge for uneaten food?

The menu says they will charge you but there seems to be some grace if you just don't like it. It feels like they are just trying to prevent waste which I get since in the long run it keeps prices low.

Along…read morewith the two rolls I had (pictured), which were part of a lunch special, I had miso soup (included in the lunch special) and crab rangoons (not included in the special). The staff was friendly and helpful, and the space was charming, with a Japanese cooking show playing on a wall mounted tv, nice music playing in the space, and eclectic decor throughout. Everything was also very clean and organized, and I appreciated the amazing prices for the food! The quality is on par with other Japanese restaurants I have been to, which often charge more even for their lunch special. I'll absolutely be returning to Sam's in the future to try more of their food!

I would like to be very honest here, I was really misled by the ratings and reviews here on Yelp…read more While I thought the decor was really nice, added a cute Korean and Japanese touch, the food did let me down. We got the Yummy Combo with Garden Salad ($17), the Mango Tango Roll ($14), and the Sakura Blossom Roll ($14). The service was fast, and our server was very sweet and caring. To begin with, even though the sushi looked colorful and appealing, it lacked taste. It was missing seasoning, felt stale, and had almost zero freshness. It reminded me of the premade sushi you get at PanAsia, Target, or Sam's Club. Freshness is a huge factor for me when I go out for sushi, but this just didn't have it. The rice was dry by the time it reached our table, and it wasn't sticky enough. It felt like the cold rice was microwaved and then used to make sushi - that's the feeling I got. I also didn't think it was worth the money. We spent over $50 + after tax and tip for three rolls, which is similar to what many other sushi restaurants charge, but those places serve much fresher and better quality sushi - Sushi Uni in Lenexa. The garden salad dressing was also a complete disappointment. It had no distinct ginger flavor or even enough seasoning. It was very thick and heavily spread over the salad, which made it unpleasant to look at and eat. Overall, the service was excellent, but the food didn't live up to the ratings or the price. The three stars are for the lovely server, the beautiful decor, and the well presented sushi. I really hope they improve the freshness because, based on the older reviews, they seem to have the potential to serve much better sushi. If they do, I will be the first one to definitely come back to try more of their beautiful looking rolls.

My water glass was never empty. Soup is the standard miso soup and is par for the course. Nothing sensational, the flavor was as it should be, so I'm happy with it. Sashimi Medley - Tuna, kanpachi (amberjack), salmon, madai (red snapper), hirame (flounder), toro (fatty tuna), and shima aji (striped jack). Everything is tasty and would be competitive against Sacramento sushi joints. 5041 - crabstick, avocado, and cream cheese wrapped in soy paper, draped with tuna and salmon drizzled with unagi sauce and wasabi mayo. This was a surprise. I think the soy paper and wasabi mayo threw me off! I asked for the recommended roll that was not too spicy, so the server asked if I was okay with cream cheese, and this was the recommendation. This was fresh and the flavors hit for something different that I have not had before. It was yummy, but different than my usual savory. Tempura fried ice cream. It's an extra large scoop of vanilla ice cream dipped in tempura and then deep fried and decorated with chocolate drizzle, whipped cream, and a cherry on top! Very yummy and a splendid ending to a japanese meal. This is going onto my Kansas City list of places to eat. Especially if I am craving sushi!!

Then we sat down at the teppanyaki table, and things went south faster than a dropped egg. Our server was solid, but the "chef" was a total trainwreck. It felt like we were an inconvenience to his schedule. He just rushed through the motions with zero engagement, like he was checking off a grocery list instead of actually cooking for people. The "Highlights" (and I use that term loosely): The Timing: I ordered the steak and scallops. He finished my steak before the rice even hit the grill. My cow just sat there getting cold while we watched him "work." The Culinary Wisdom: When one of us asked if the beef was a strip or a ribeye, he literally just said, "It's steak." Cool. Glad we cleared that up. The Cross-Contamination Special: We had a vegetarian in the group. He proceeded to cook her tofu directly in the steak juice. Truly a "chef's kiss" moment if you hate your customers. The Doneness (or lack thereof): The salmon was basically still swimming (raw), and the scallops were charred and tasted like fire and brimstone. The Mussels: I grabbed a side of green mussels. They were... fine? I've had much better elsewhere in town, but they were the Olympic gold medalists of my meal by default. The Silver Lining? The Sake. It came in a take-home glass, was incredibly easy to drink, and was 100% necessary to get through the rest of the experience. I can't speak for the sushi, but if it's handled with the same "I don't want to be here" energy as the teppanyaki, I'd stay far, far away. Two stars only because the hostess was nice and the Sake did its job.
