Normally I ditch crab legs at Asian buffets because the crab meat does not give, but at Fuji?! Idk who their supplier is but these crab legs were phat and full of sweet crab meat. They got a variety of dishes and everything was solid. Sushi was so-so just because the rice wasn't seasoned like sushi rice normally is but the fish to filling ratio was A1, the sashimi was good too. And they have a drinks station with prepared jelly teas, bottled jasmine tea. Loved that they had dragonfruit at the desserts station. The service was also fantastic. Clearing plates quickly, super attentive. Easily one of my favourite buffets I went to this year. read more

Fuji buffet - Sushi n sashimi - Buffets Near Me - Tampa, Florida

First, I want to say that the staff here are genuinely kind and welcoming, and in many ways this buffet offers a lot to seafood lovers. There truly are some standout items, and when things are done well, they are really done well. I especially loved the seafood broth in the dish with corn, the broths used with the fish, and how they pair with the incredibly fresh seafood. When those elements are fresh, they are absolutely delicious and a highlight of the meal. The fresh sashimi, crab legs, and shrimp continued to live up to their reputation, as did the mushrooms, seafood dishes, fresh cucumber salad, and cabbage. These items were very fresh and made it easy to create an excellent meal. There is a lot of potential here, and many of the offerings truly are amazing. That said, I feel strongly that the buffet would benefit from fewer options done well, rather than a larger variety that isn't consistently fresh. Unfortunately, some items were clearly spoiled and should not have been served. I honestly believe that if everything were taste-tested before being put out, some of these issues could be avoided. The pickled ginger, in particular, had gone bad and so it had a strong unpleasant odor and a slimy texture. This seems like something that could easily be prevented by serving smaller portions, keeping the rest refrigerated, and checking it daily before serving. While I thought the sushi was good, it felt amiss without the pickled ginger. More disappointing for me was the fresh fruit. The oranges, honeydew, and cantaloupe all tasted off and had a bad odor and slimy texture, which is the primary reason for the 3 stars. The bubble tea however was still delicious, but I was really hoping to finish my meal with fresh fruit, and that just wasn't possible this time. I also continue to wish there were more ice cream flavor options. There is so much that is great about this place, and I truly hope management focuses on freshness and quality control so the best items can shine without being overshadowed by a few spoiled items. read more

Don't Waste Your Money! Just had the worst buffet, EVER! Only went in on a recommendation of someone I know and looked at the rating of 4.8 stars on Google. Went with my daughter and she lost her appetite. The sushi was horrible, the rice was hard and she said it tasted awful. The lo mein noodles she had were dry, hard and tasteless. The chicken skewer stick and Teriyaki chicken I got taste like I was only eating fat. I should have walked out when I saw the buffet half empty (food wise) and quite a few dishes on the buffet dried out. Then to be charged $55 for 2 half eaten plates, cause we were so disgusted there was no way we were eating any more. And I am not one who really complains about food. I just won't go back if I don't like something, but this, THIS was absolutely gross. And for the lady to act like she didn't care (not the server, she was really nice) was just ridiculous. Im livid that I had to pay $55 for disgusting food. And another thing, I am so sick and tired of restaurants charging adult prices for children. If you aren't 18, YOU ARE A CHILD.Just had the worst buffet, EVER! Only went in a recommendation of someone I know and looked at the rating of 4.8 stars.

Fuji buffet - Buffet sign - Buffets Near Me - Tampa, Florida

If you're looking for a Chinese/ Japanese buffet that truly delivers on variety, this place is it. We're talking rows and rows of food -- like, a lot of food. Whether you're in it for the classics or something a bit more elevated, there's something for everyone here. Personally, I came for the sushi, sashimi, and hibachi, and I wasn't disappointed. The sushi was fresh and well-prepared for a buffet setting, with a surprising number of options. The sashimi was generous, and the hibachi station lets you customize your plate, cooked right in front of you. The star of the dinner menu, though, is the crab legs -- and yes, they're worth the extra $8. They're served cold and hot (in two separate rows) and replenished frequently, so you're not stuck waiting or fighting other guests for the last piece. Keep in mind that Sunday is considered dinner all day. That's when we visited and not disappointed at all! One unique bonus: they offer free bubble tea and bottled teas. The bubble tea comes with pudding instead of boba -- a bit unexpected, but better than nothing. If you're hungry, like really hungry, and want quality plus quantity, this buffet is the spot. Come with an appetite and leave in a food coma (in the best way). read more

My girlfriend found glass in her food and the food made me sick, gave her 20% off but should have been for free.... This place sucks!

I came here during lunchtime on a Saturday around 12:30 /1pm. All the food selections were full and ready!! The service attentive' & overall my experience is 4 stars worthy because I would definitely come back & would recommend. I like that they are clean & spacious in seating as well as parking too. Surprisingly one of my favorite menu items on the buffet line was their " Chicken Teriyaki ". This is only my first time coming here so I'm not sure what's on the menu for weekdays but otherwise if you're in the area & in the mood for Chinese... this spot is good to try out. read more

Update (April 2026): Disregard any glowing reviews you see of Fuji Buffett -- they bribe customers with a free drink (bottle of iced tea) if customers write a glowing 5 star positive review (upon arrival, before food). They will even harass, watching you type, until you show them proof of a glowing 5 star review, posted to their satisfaction, often before they let you see/try the food. I witnessed many times, the owner is so obsessed with bribing customers for glowing 5 star online reviews, it's laughable. Update (April 2026): Fuji Buffet in South Tampa has gone downhill recently (again, similar to previous owners) -- huge difference from several months ago. Last few visits (evening), they had no food left, yet still charged for buffet. Another time, they claimed a to-go order allows only 5 minutes (oddly specific, limited time). Owner has become a bit obnoxious with how he tries to apply random new policies. He was quite friendly before, but behind that smile, tricky obnoxious behavior lately. Food (evening): if they have any food left, is limited to: leftover buffet scraps and slop (bits and pieces, suitable for trash bin), left out all day (possibly even multiple days old), appears literally bottom of the bucket. I would not risk getting sick -- some buffet selections were obviously left out all day, and definitely not fresh. Some items appear reheated many times to the point of being hard and inedible, yet still being served again. "Sushi" selection was all imitation crab and other ingredients, not actual sushi-grade fish (a few appeared to be cheap mock variations of popular sushi rolls). Fuji Buffet went downhill, turned ghetto in many ways, and not worth trying. I have visited many times (because of convenient location), but I will NOT be returning again. They are not entitled to yet another chance after the last FOUR (4) visits in a row were beyond unacceptable. Don't waste your time visiting Fuji Buffet in Britton Plaza of South Tampa -- not worth it. read more

Decided to try this place our after their rebrand and new ownership. It was $22 for dinner and we found it was well worth the value. Place was clean and decor was modern. They had a wide selection of food to pick from, everything from fried American foods, to Chinese staples, to seafood and sushi. All the sushi we ate was good and fresh. We also enjoyed the included bottled beverages and boba teas. While this wasn't the best Asian food I've ever had, for your money this is definitely an excellent value and we will be back! read more

It is about 3.5 stars. Not yet four stars. The restaurant has sushi section with regular roll or signature roll. It also has nigiri. However, I think the nigiri has too much rice on it. That may be the reason they are 3.5 stars instead of 4 stars. The hot food section is nicer. They have beef, chicken, shrimp, veggies selection. I like their grilled chicken. I have not see a pork dish. I like their fried fish. They do have small dim sum sections. The salad section has some choices of mixed salad and fruit. The raw bar section has some seafood. The hibachi also available to customers. The dessert section has ice cream and cake. I like the drink section has some popping boba drink and honey jasmine tea. Overall service is good. Value is there for lunch time prices. read more

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY. ** SOMEBODY CALL HEALTH CODE INSPECTOR** staff was nice however after being seated and served drinks went and loaded our plates with food took our first bite and somehow the food wasn't hot. it wasn't even warm? it was cold. so so cold. rice = cold, chicken = cold, noodles = cold, sushi= rotted avocado. Debating on whether or not leave and eat somewhere else, i did in the fear that this food is no longer safe to consume as it was clear the food was NOT fresh infact it looked hours old. do not come here if you want to get food poisoning from the lack of requirements it takes to handle working a buffet. save your money and take it to golden corral. read more

I visited Fuji Buffet in Tampa today and had a very mixed experience. On the positive side, the staff members were incredibly welcoming and kind; the service itself was great. However, the food temperature was a major concern. I tried the chicken skewers, egg rolls, spring rolls, chicken wings, and fried rice, and every single item was cold. Having suffered from severe food poisoning in the past, I am very cautious about food being held at unsafe temperatures. Because of this, I only took one bite of each item before realizing it wasn't safe to continue. I ended up getting up and leaving the establishment immediately. It's a shame because the team there is so nice, but I simply couldn't risk my health. I hope management looks into their heating elements and holding temperatures on the buffet line soon. read more

As far as Chinese buffets go, this was clean, the food was hot and there was a lot to choose from. We didn't get hibachi, but the specialty sushi rolls were fresh and delicious. Our server was super attentive with refilling drinks and clearing plates. And it's the first time since moving to Florida that lunch for my daughter and I, including tip, was only $40. I'd go back. read more

Amazing service! Very good food, and if you are looking for crab legs to eat, they have buckets of them!

My niece and I have been loyal weekly customers for a long time, primarily for the crab legs, as the rest of the buffet is bland and below average. Unfortunately, the service has declined significantly recently. I've noticed a pattern of unprofessionalism among the back-of-house staff; when I raised this with the manager last week, my concerns were dismissed as a "language barrier." During my most recent visit, the experience went from poor to unacceptable. Along with two other guests, we inquired about crab legs to several different staff members and stood around waiting; however, after 30 minutes they still had not been replenished. One of the other guests Husband was waiting at the hibachi station but became upset when the sushi chef failed to wash his hands after using cleaning chemicals at one station and then attempted to cook his noodles. They complained to the Manager and following their departure, the manager aggressively approached me at my table, loudly demanding to know what I had said to them. When I tried to explain I had nothing to do with them being upset he didn't want to listen and walked away mumbling. Being interrogated and blamed for another guest's complaint while I was eating was incredibly embarrassing. While the waitstaff generally is attentive and friendly, the management is unprofessional, and we will not be returning. read more

I honestly don't understand why everyone else is lying and giving it 5 stars but it seems like they may need surgery on their tastebuds. Anyway by all means please visit this place if you love crappy Chinese food. I'm telling knock yourselves out! If you like food that's suppose to be cooked hot and by the time it's shoved on your plate it's as cold as an ice cube, more kudos to you. Also, if you enjoy getting food poisoning, this spot is for you. This is by far not a winner winner chicken dinner. It's a 0/10 for me. You will be thanking me later for dodging this bullet.... You're welcome! read more

Whole family got sick after eating here. Nothing else we ate whole day, ate late lunch around 2 pm Lunch there, all 3 of us are having food poisoning symptom. Going on day 2 now, still having lots of bathroom visits. Called to let manager know their food quality is terrible and nasty, asked for refund, but manager failed to oblige. Nasty place. Food is disgusting. read more

Fuji buffet - Fake cheap sushi. Everything dry /stale - Buffets Near Me - Tampa, Florida

One of my favorite "all you can eat" Asian restaurants. If you are a fan of Asian food you have to try this place. Everything is delicious and fresh. The place is pretty spacious and clean. We went on a Sunday night with my family and it was $20 per person. It's even cheaper during weekdays or lunch time. The waitresses make you feel welcome the whole time. The only thing that I didn't like was the dessert section, but I'm excited to try it again next time! read more

Dinner time right after lunch into dinner shift. No hot crab legs cause waitress said too expensive as per restaurant owner. Then heard that hot crab legs weren't being served hot because people eat them too fast. Which is it ? Regardless losing money.... Because if you don't have customers you won't have a business. It was sad because you would think that the change of a shift into dinner time the trays would be full with nice fresh hot food. Nope. Sad. Second time going after they're reopening. I don't think I will be frequenting anytime soon. Do better Fuji read more

Food was not great. We came for dinner on a weekday, seafood was not fresh and everything was average at best.

Not sure how they can have Dinner Buffet for 22.00 with all you can eat crab legs. I eat 15 to 20 pounds myself Wholesale is around 12.50 per pound. Just curious read more

A few weeks ago, I had lunch at Fuji Buffet for the first time. It reminded me of Tampa Buffet, which used to be in the same strip mall (possibly the same location). I requested a booth with an electric outlet to charge up my phone. Unfortunately, they led me to one too deep into the wall. I couldn't plug in my phone. The food selection was good, including a Hibachi grill. The wait for my plate of food seemed to take too long. Most of the ice cream was hard as a brick. I waited for it to soften. The background music sounded like Chinese disco music. Out of curiosity, I used the Shazam app, but it couldn't identify most of the songs played. Usually, I don't tip at buffets since I'm dishing my own food. However, I left one partially because they gave me a military discount. I might come here again. read more

It's all you can eat for $22. I didn't go in expecting gourmet cuisine. So with that said it's not bad. I enjoyed most of the food I got. I tried a little of everything. I found the beef dishes a bit tough and the boba wasn't all that. I did like the fried chicken, sushi (nothing raw was tried), and randomly the potato salad. I also like that they aren't weird about not clearing your plate like other buffets I've been to. read more

I was Okay. My husband saw it on TikTok and said let's go. We came on dinner time and he didn't think it was gonna be that much. It was good food. He wishes they would Salty Crackers if you're gonna have a Ceviche there. Some of the food probably needed more salt because it was probably bland for him.

We had the misfortune of dining here. One of the worse dinner decisions we ever made. The staff decided to pack up all the food left on the buffet before closing time, 9 PM. We and several other patrons were left without food. We arrived at 8 o'clock they never said that the kitchen closes at 8:45 or the food would be put up at that time. I would not recommend anyone to dine here. The buffet food was cold and there were flies on the fruit so we didn't eat any of that. This place really deserves zero stars! read more

First time visiting, Crab legs were good. The issued I saw with this buffet was there were not enough options for your average Chinese buffet. 2 of the 5 buffet stations were dedicated to cold items and deli salads.

Clean, friendly and responsive wait staff, decently priced and better than average buffet sushi. The food in general is merely average at best and that's being generous. Chicken entrees were tough, fried foods were room temperature. There are better options around the Bay Area if you truly want an enjoyable Asian buffet. read more
