    House chicken left, single piece of sweet and sour right and crispy pot sticker. All very good!
    Lydia K.

    Lots of fried food. Crisp veggies. Basic sushi but fresh. Ice cream in cups. I really enjoyed this buffet! The food came out in smallish portions in order to replenish often! I have never seen this before. Their house chicken was SO good and my favorite! Large chunks of white meat chicken friend and sprinkled with a seasoning I could not decifer. It was delicious as was all the other food. Their broccoli and green beans were cooked perfectly which is rare at a buffet! And to top it off the staff was super friendly. Will go back when visiting again!

    The Hibachi bar at 9:30pm, the website says they close at 10:30pm on Fridays

    Highly disappointed with my experience here. My dad and I enjoy Chinese buffets because we can eat cheap, delicious food, so we decided to eat here for our meal after he had a long drive to come to Charlotte. We got to this location at 9:20pm and began eating by 9:25. By 9:30pm, 10 minutes after we had arrived, the food was already being taken away from the buffets! I expressed how we had just arrived and that we wouldn't have eaten here if we knew the food was being taken away already, but the manager only said that he could get me one more hibachi plate. I was livid. I gathered as much of the stale, dry, and abandoned food on the buffet that I could before it was taken away. It's obvious that the food had been sitting out for a couple hours and not restocked intentionally. Not only that, but the manager then said that they close at 10pm instead of their posted 10:30pm Friday time! They began rushing us out of the restaurant, so I had to shovel down as much food as I could before being kicked out and having to pay $60 for two people!!! This food is neither cheap, nor delicious. I will never be returning to this location again! No one eat here that values a good meal, it won't be found here, only empty buffets.

    This has been our GO-TO Chinese buffet since about 2014! Every single time we go, the food is always delicious and on point. They offer hibachi grill, ample selection of sushi, fruit, salad, and regular Chinese food along with a selection of dessert. There is never a wait for us to get a table, and even when we have gone and it's been super busy,there is never a wait. There is plenty of table seating and a wide open seating plan. Service is always great, and the waitresses to the hostess are always super friendly and accommodating. They always check the food to make sure they refill quickly, and we hardly ever get any food that seems that it has been sitting there for a while. They do offer plenty of parking spaces to choose from. For a good variety of food, I definitely recommend this Chinese Buffet.

    Decent for a Chinese buffet. I've had better and I've had worse. This one was definitely in the A-OK range. Seated quickly and off to the buffet, there was a good stock of plates ready. The steam tables were low on some items and it seemed like the kitchen was more focused on platters of delivery items being cooked and foiled up then placed on trolleys and taken out. This continued for about a half hour and then things improved some. I managed to stick to a keto-in-spirit eating program by avoiding the noodles and rice and battered. I did one trip to the hibachi that was mostly beef and onions and peppers, but the chef overcooked them to beyond well done. The beef turned tough. The sushi selections looked good and not all of them were covered in sauces. Some basic sashimi items there were nice. I skipped dessert and did not drink soda. $14 or so was fair for the amount and the quality of food. They also have a free wifi. My waitress kept my water refilled and cleared dishes promptly. When it was time for the check, she processed it quickly there too. [Review 11334 overall, 1111 of 2019.]

Pricing is fantastic for all you can eat and they have take out too!! This is our go to spot every time we come to North Carolina and it should be yours!!!

Mister Tokyo delivered exactly that kind of danger today, the good kind, the kind where you already know you're going to waddle out the door but you don't care because every bite is worth it. The service was friendly and warm from the start, the kind of easy hospitality that makes it simple to settle in and start ordering without feeling rushed or judged. My waiter brought me a menu without hesitation and never blinked when I ordered another plate and then another, just kept the rhythm going with a smile and the kind of quiet efficiency that makes the whole experience feel smooth and relaxed. I worked my way through seaweed salad, nigiri rolls, sashimi, chicken katsu, and even a few hand rolls because sometimes you want to feel a little fancy while you're stuffing yourself silly. Everything was prepared well, everything arrived quickly, and everything tasted fresh and clean, which is exactly what you want when you're committing to a long lunch of steady grazing. It was all really great and I loved every bit of it. Five stars for Mister Tokyo. [Review 176 of 2026 - 4562 in North Carolina - 25365 overall]

They had a nice selection of drinks as well. I ordered a creamy sake to share amongst the table. I wish I remembered the name, but it was in a white bottle, for which they brought a bottle chiller out for. Reserving with the restaurant was easy. Called in and they sent a Open Table link for the reservation. They checked on reservation a couple days out and also personally called to ensure reservation again. It was nice to do something different, for this group of people. For 5 people it was the first time trying sushi and having the yakitori options allowed them to try new things.

So his choice was here. Google directions suck they took us around the back to the parking garage for the 2nd level and since we have never been here before it took us a few minutes to figure out how to get down to the first level. When we entered there was a waiter taking an order and no one else on the floor so we had a little bit to get seated even though there were only two other parties in the restaurant. We were able to sit wherever we wanted so I sat with a view of the screen with the replay of the Brazil FIFA game on. My husband wanted the unagi don but didn't order because the price seemed high. The table next to us all ordered bowls and the serving size was huge so my husband regretted it. We order takoyaki, spicy wings, and 3 rolls Godzilla, Hadouken, and Master Roshi. The wings had amazing flavor but were not spicy. Takoyaki was flavorful and the perfect temperature. I get a lot of takoyaki that is entirely too hot and have to crack them open to cool before eating them. My husband did not enjoy the Godzilla roll he said the topping was too much and didn't add to the flavor. But enjoyed the other two. I enjoyed all three rolls the flavor was fresh and very little need for soy sauce fine without it. If we are ever in Charlotte with time to eat I would stop here again.

I've enjoyed Korean barbecue many times, so when I saw the price, I thought I had found a great midday option. Unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to expectations. The happy hour kalbi turned out to be four small pieces of meat for $9.95, which I had to cook myself. A bowl of rice was an additional charge, and there were no sides, vegetables, soup, or salad included. I left the restaurant still hungry, which is never a good sign after lunch. What disappointed me most was the lack of guidance and hospitality. As someone new to Japanese-style barbecue, I asked a few simple questions to understand what I was ordering. When I confirmed this was the happy hour portion, the server said yes--but didn't explain the serving size or suggest additional items. A little coaching would have gone a long way. At one point, when I asked whether the meal came with sides like banchan or rice, I was told, "This is not Korean barbecue." I completely understand the distinction now, but the tone felt curt rather than helpful. Hospitality is about helping guests navigate something unfamiliar, not making them feel like they should already know. I also ordered iced water with lemon, and the lemon never arrived...only the ice water. Was this an omen of what's to come?? Another frustration was the parking situation. I paid for parking through ParkMobile outside the restaurant, only to discover after entering that parking validation was available inside. That information would have been much more useful if it had been communicated clearly before guests park or pay. From a customer experience standpoint, it feels like something that could easily be improved with better signage--lead with the good stuff. The location itself is also somewhat isolated. While technically in Uptown, it's not in a particularly walkable or high-traffic area, so most guests will need to park in a garage or pay for street parking. There isn't much nearby other than an apartment complex above the restaurant, which makes clear parking instructions and strong service even more important. To be fair, the restaurant was clean, and the meat itself was flavorful. The concept of Japanese BBQ is interesting, and I now understand that this style is very different from Korean BBQ, with smaller, à-la-carte portions designed to be built into a meal. That said, the overall experience felt transactional rather than welcoming. I left hungry--and disappointed--not because of the food quality, but because the service and communication could have been better at several points along the way. This visit felt like a missed opportunity. With a little more attentiveness, clearer guidance, and stronger customer engagement, the experience could have been completely different. Don't let one restaurant deter you. Life is short--get out there and eat.

The server is also very kind as she not only made sure we were taken care of, but also explained things about each dishes like the stone bowl and how it was affect my meal. The parking to the place is behind the shop and though you have to register for the spot where you park, it isn't costly (was free when we went).
