I've been on the hunt for a great Asian buffet in Jacksonville, and this was one of the few I hadn't tried since COVID. We visited on a Friday for lunch, and the dining room was about 40% full--comfortable, not crowded, and easy to enjoy. ** Pros ** * Atmosphere: -- The space is surprisingly nice for a buffet. Two walls feature projected moving murals, and another showcases a large mountain scene. It creates a relaxing, modern vibe. * Food Quality: -- Everything we sampled--and we sampled a lot in small portions--was consistently good. -- Temperatures were spot‑on: soups were hot, desserts were properly chilled. -- Flavors were on par with other Asian buffets in Jacksonville, and in some cases better. -- The hibachi station is on the smaller side, offering two meats and a handful of vegetables. It's possible they expand options at dinner. -- Sushi selection was solid, with all the standard rolls you'd expect. -- The pork bun was the best I've had in town. It was light and had a great taste. * Value: At around $14 per person for lunch, we felt the price matched the quality and variety offered. ** Cons ** * Limited Variety: The overall assortment isn't as large as some of the newer buffets that have opened in the past year. Maybe the assortment is a bit larger at dinner or on the weekends. ** Overall ** We felt the visit was worth the drive from the Southside, and we'd happily stop by again when we're in the area. read more

Fushimi Grill & Modern Buffet - A small selection of buffet items. The pork bun was one of the best I've had in Jacksonville. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Stopped by Fushimi and let me tell you... come hungry. This spot has a little bit of everything. Fresh sushi, seafood, hot bar favorites and plenty of comfort picks stacked across the buffet. The variety is honestly impressive, so whether you're in the mood for sushi rolls, crispy fried bites or classic buffet plates, you'll find your lane fast. Service was attentive and quick to clear plates, which is key when you're making multiple rounds (and yes... you will). It's also a great family option. Tons of choices for kids and picky eaters, so everyone leaves happy. Solid buffet experience with something for every appetite. read more

AYCE (All You Can Eat Buffet) and nope, definitely the food is not fresh (threw up the Red Tuna as I take a bite) and they are always on high heat when serving their selections. For $22 plus tax it's better to try a quality meal with 2 entrees. The service is quick. Though this restaurant caters to those who wish to eat different selections of meat and seafood. read more

Second time around. Honestly not much has changed since last time I went. One key difference is now if you eat crab legs they will charge you 32.99 for the buffet instead of the 22.99 regular cost. read more

We often get takeout here or have lunch after a hard day at work. The quality is good, the prices are good. It's a good buffet. The water was bad, but they fixed it last time. And the staff is great! read more

My childhood consisted of my family and I going to different all you can eat buffets. My favorite was all you can eat Chinese buffets. I was craving unlimited Chinese food and wanted to splurge so I went to Google and found this gem of a restaurant around the corner of my house. My husband took me here in a lunch date and we had a blast and ate so much they had to role us out of this restaurant. My plate was filled with all sorts of delicious of meats like spare rides, teriyaki chicken, bourbon chicken and sweet and sour chicken along with white rice and lo mein. They also had a ton of seafood to choose from. Our waitress was so sweet and attentive! The lunch special on the weekend is $12 for adults and $6 for kids! read more

Everything was clean, hot, fresh and delicious! Great teamwork by the staff. Great Waitress. They have a Mongolian BBQ station. The won ton soup was top notch. I treated Tammy and Luis here for Christmas. We had a great time here. Pros:fresh hot and flavorful food. Great BOGO deal on hot saki. Great parking. Cons:the sushi looked a little weathered. I did not try it because of the look. Recommend? Hell to the YES! Enjoy! Merry Christmas! read more

Just came out to the Atlantic blvd location tonight and found out the hard way they stopped having crab legs on the buffet about two weeks ago. So, now neither location has them. Very disappointed.

IMO, you kind of know what to expect with these places. I've never been to one I thought was awful, but I've never been to one that's incredible. So nearly all of them I've been to would come in at 3 out of 5 for me. 2 things during our visit made it a 4 star visit. One was the service. Everyone we interacted with was very nice to us, along with the other tables around us. The second thing to me as the quality and amount of sashimi that was available. read more

It's been a few years since I've eaten in an Asian buffet. but what better way to celebrate a special birthday than getting a group together and heading to a place like Fushimi Grill & Modern Buffet? I don't usually do buffets much anymore because my stomach isn't as up to being stuffed as much as it used to be. But I have to say I was very impressed overall with Fushimi Grill. It certainly has more buffet options than any buffet (except the Raffles Hotel in Singapore!) I've ever tried. The Sunday buffet included sushi (a wide selection), crab legs, numerous seafood options (including a number of varieties fried), among many other choices - even the dessert choices weren't too bad! This may be strange to say, but the General Tao chicken was my favorite - and I had a lot of wonderfully prepped dishes during my visit. Well, I guess it was a good day for the General! I will say in line with this that the Sunday buffet at the time of this writing runs in the $26 range. I personally think that's more than fair for what this restaurant offers at its buffet. I originally leaned toward giving Fushimi Grill a four star rating, as its overall appearance inside isn't super attractive but one cannot complain about the huge variety of food options here. I quickly changed to five stars when our excellent server, Wendy, went the extra mile to see that Happy Birthday was sung to our special guest for the day - which made the day even more special for her. Wendy used an automated bot of some type that was a music box that both sang "Happy Birthday" and played graphics on the large screen on the wall next to us. I've never seen Happy Birthday done in such a special way at any restaurant I've ever been in! Servers, service, and great food like this made Fushimi Grill a special experience to remember for all four of us who shared food and fun on this day! Visit Fushimi Grill and when you do, bring your stomach ready to do battle with the buffet! Recommend: VERY HIGH read more

Just got stationed in Jax after living in Japan for a couple of months, excited to try the sushi and other Japanese foods that are here and I was more than disappointed. Some of the sushi that was supposed to be cold and raw was warm along with some of the fish tasting sour/weird. The desserts were really dry as well. At the end of my visit it was hard to keep my food down, this place has an opportunity to be amazing with proper care for the food but this was not it. I do recommend going to Korean hotpot bbq on exit 12 near NAS Jax. read more

This buffet is the cleanest buffet to ever step foot in, and I've been to buffets all over the country. The servers are very nice and attentive too and lots to select from! We'll be back for sure read more

This is a nice sized Asian buffet. I was immediately shocked at the price $30 per person for dinner. It was myself and two sons and I paid over $80. Was it worth it (because that's what matters)? No, the food wasn't worth the price. Most items were fried and all items that I had were very greasy and lukewarm at best. My favorite was the Lo mein. Next time I would opt for PF Changs if I'm cool with spending this much, or my nearest Chinese takeout for my next hankering. There were plenty of options at the Buffett and the best options were the crab-legs, crawfish and sushi if you want to sit, eat and get your money's worth. read more

Good food, little pricey, but choice is great. I would easily give 5 stars if not for the service. We had 9 people including 3 seniors and 4 kids, just a family lunch on the way home from the road trip. First red flag was when we were set to the table of 8, so we had to seat pretty tightly. Next, that room was pretty far from the food isle which was very inconvenient for both kids and seniors. Finally, to top it all off, the waiter came back to argue with the amount of tips left and as a cherry on top, she took away lollipops which she previously offered to my kids. Thank you for the good food and please fix the service. read more

It looks like I would be walking in to an old outdated all you can eat buffet when you first see it from the outside but inside is a different story! It's beautiful inside the restaurant! And its not very busy! As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by Peanut, the robot host that walks you to your table. I can see why there's a lot of poor reviews. I've been to hotpot before but for newbies , it may get intimidating. They don't tell you what to do once you're seated , they don't talk about the menu, they don't even ask if it's our first time there. Here's some guidance (disclaimer: I'm no expert) First off it's all you can eat hotpot or all you can eat bbq or both. The AYCE sushi comes with any option you choose with no extra charge. When you get to your table, go ahead and head over to the buffet area. I was in the mood for hot pot only, specifically with seafood and cuts of lamb and beef. The semi frozen meats in the cooler are for hotpot. The marinated ones that are out are for bbq. Pace yourself and if you want to try everything, stick to the two rule. Two crawfish, two shrimp, two crabmeat (imitation), two rolls of sliced lamb, two rolls of sliced beef etc. You can always come back for more because they do charge for wasted food. We gathered what we were putting in our broth and by the time we got back our broths were simmering. Their broth was fantastic. I used their house sauce mixed with hoisin and chili oil and it went so well as my side dip for the meats as well as extra flavor for the broth itself. I also got some sushi and it was okay. This was a great deal for me for all the food I ate. It IS pricey but remember that everything in the grocery stores have gone up in price too. I suggest you come HUNGRY! I really enjoyed my food here read more

There are limited quality Chinese buffet options in Jacksonville...from China Buffet in Regency...Sakura in Atlantic...etc. I would say out of those options that Fushimi is probably the one with the best offerings at the moment. Their dinner buffet had tons of seafood options which were good and they even had a lobster option which was quite appetizing. My Dad enjoyed the lobster, so that's a good sign! The service was wonderful. They were very attentive and made sure our drinks were filled throughout dinner. The ambiance is nice and it was clean. They even have private room offerings. Overall, it's a Chinese buffet and I think it is worth it for the price. Don't expect highest quality or Vegas style buffets... but know this is a solid Chinese buffet option for Jacksonville. read more

From beef aortas to pork uterus to beef tongues, lamb tripes and beef omasums are just some of the oddest organ meats you'll find at a Hot Pot & BBQ joint in town. Yi Liu Hot Pot has them, amongst many seafood and other meat selections.... and I am loving it this All-You-Can-Eat joint. A great buddy of mine came in town and he says the same thing "let's meet up and eat at such and such aka BBQ joint or American cuisine. Uggh, not the same ol thing again. So I had to put my Yelp foot down and suggested this Hot Pot place. And here we are. Not my first Hot Pot rodeo, but it definitely was for him. After explaining to him how it works, the food eatery ball started rolling. Total mind blown. Large selections of organ meats which you won't find anywhere locally. This along with the typical Hot Pot selections that come in an AYCE place. All in all, we both left with a full bellies and a great experience. Only takeaway is, the broths tasted bland and could use more seasoning or something. Would I come back.... Hell to the Yeah!!! read more

One of the worst experiences trying a new restaurant. The place is nice even though it could use some better lighting as it is pretty dark inside. The food was bad to say the least. The only thing that tasted somewhat fresh was the shrimp with peas, all of the other things we tried were terrible and looked like they had been cooked several hours ago. Service is really good and waitresses are always refilling your drinks and clearing the tables. Both my wife and myself felt sick for the rest of the day. read more

Come hungry! This is the kinda of place you need to be prepared to over indulge. They have some many things to choose from like sushi, meats, Asian delicacies, dumplings to cold salads. Then you can choose hot pot or BBQ or both. We did both but honestly the BBQ was better suited for us. I love hot soup but the flavors were not a bold as like them plus there is just so much room. The sauce bar for the BBQ is awesome we made some excellent mixes for the perfect combo on both our meat and veggies. read more

Tried this restaurant for the first and last time tonight. Some food was ok, a large portion of the food was cold and prepared hours earlier and hard or soggy. Prices at $28.75 a person plus the drink makes this a $75.00 dinner for two. Save your money and go some place else. read more

The place was nice and clean. I had a very attentive server even though it's self serve dining my favorite was the fresh oysters, gulf oysters, large and succulent. I like their dim sum, especially dim sum filled with red beans The Sushi presentation was rolls and sashimi. Ive had both lunch and dinner but prefer the dinner with the seafood Auce crab legs !!!! Unlike other AUCE buffets, the selection was higher quality and the pickle/kimchi /salad selection was an extra surprise to choose from Fushimi is now my go to ASIAN Restaurant "Delicious " read more

We went for the dinner buffet on the weekend. Similar to the hot pot place this restaurant replaced, the decor was nice and fairly clean. We were seated at the booth, which was plenty roomy. The star selections of the buffet were the crab legs and the crawfish, which tasted fine, though a bit salty. The crab legs were kept fairly stocked throughout our visit. I also tried some of the sushi, which was okay. The fish was fresh and the selection was decent, but the rice left more to be desired as it was lacking the right flavor. They also have a selection of traditional Chinese food like dim sum, fried rice, and general Tso's chicken, which were just alright in quality and taste. Some of those, like the fried shrimp and fried scallops, tasted like they were frozen and lacked flavor. Furthermore, they have hibachi with a good selection of veggies and meats, which I didn't get the opportunity to try. The dessert was also fine serving some fresh fruit and small assorted premade pastries. The large selection of food items in itself is great and encompasses the buffet experience. Though, for $23 per person for a weekend dinner, it's just okay for the so-so quality of food you're getting. If you are seeking an Asian buffet experience in Jacksonville, I would give this place a try at least once as you may justify the selection they have. read more

Beautiful restaurant inside with a diverse selection of high quality food. The look of the interior and the wealth of food reminded me of one of those super nice Las Vegas buffets (like the buffet at Wynn Las Vegas). The food - omg the SUSHI! - included so many types of rolls, including these spicy tuna ones with crab on top, eel rolls, and shrimp nigiri. I ate 8-12 shrimp nigiri, which is a personal record for me haha, but they were so good!! The sushi chef was such a pro and the sushi were a delight to the senses - beautiful and so delicious! And that's not all regarding the food you can get. I will have to come back super hungry and focused on trying to get away from the sushi. They had this New Orleans/Cajun inspired shrimp (full head on shrimp!...I just can't get away from the shrimp!) that tasted so authentic I couldn't believe it. Steak, fried shrimp, fried oysters (hubs really liked those), salt and pepper crab, pizza and chicken nuggets of course for less adventurous eaters/kiddos, and typical Chinese-American food you'd see at a buffet including teriyaki chicken, sweet and sour chicken, ribs, etc. Also, food for more traditional Chinese palates that include chicken feet & steamed buns inside their steamers that you take to your table. To have such good, diverse types and amounts of foods you're gonna pay higher than a typical buffet in Jacksonville (we paid $19.99 per person for dinner, but that's only $19.99 compared to a place like the Wynn buffet that charges $46-$70ish per adult). I could've stayed there for hours just eating, even if it was just the sushi and fruit (fresh, tasty fruit including watermelon, banana, kiwi!, honeydew melon, cantaloupe). They did have a sign indicating you can't just hang out and eat for hours hahaha, but it's certainly a tempting idea. Will definitely go back! read more

We visited for dinner on 9/8/20 during visit to Jacksonville, Florida. It's $30 per person for AYCE (buffet) Korean BBQ, Hot Pot, and Sushi. Since we're still in midst of a pandemic, seating was spread out and capacity is at 50%. Upon arrival, the staff took our temperature with a touchless thermometer. Once cleared, they instructed a robot to escort us to a table. Once seated, server came to take our drinks and orders. She quickly came out with our hot pots, and advised we would head over to get the meats and seafood. The experience was great and service was awesome! Meat for the grilling was limited but there's more options for the hot pot. Overall, we would recommend. Hope they make it through the pandemic. read more

My family and I went to this place because we saw that they are advertising all you can eat snow crab legs with the price of your buffet entry. Wrong! The snow crabs are 15.99/lb on top of the price you're already paying to dine. You have to tell your waitress you want to order the and they bring it out to you. We didn't order the crab legs nor did we see anyone ordering it the entire time we were there. Other than that the selection is typical, nothing interesting. Some of the food looked like it had been sitting there for a while. I tried the smaller fried crabs and when I cracked open one of the claws I got this strong whiff of ammonia!! Instantly I lost my appetite! Which considering how much I spent to eat there, I was not happy. We were a party of 8 including 4 kids (two older and two babies) and they sat us at two different booths. When it was time for our checks, we split it in half. But each check had an 18% service fee added on! They said because we were a party of 8 it's automatically added on but we were sat separately and paid separately. They claimed they brought us the wrong checks and removed the fee. I can speak for my entire family when I say we won't be back. This was our first and last time dining at this establishment. read more

I went with friends and was very disappointed as there was absolutely no vegetarian options. Everyone else ate and I was unable to have anything. I normally wouldn't review a restaurant based on this- but the website did not specify whether or not the miso base was meat based. Each of the other soups specified pork/chicken/beef broth, but for some reason the miso was left out. We decided to go anyway and try our luck. In addition to this, everyone was unsatisfied with the service. Our waitress was very rude and cold. She was rushing my friends to order their soup bases and drinks. read more

Good afternoon all. Today The Wife and I went to Fushimi Grill & Modern Buffet. It's a nice set up, spacious with several tv's to watch. They have a nice variety or food to choose including sushi and a hot wok. Food was good hot and fresh. Waiter made sure your cups didn't fall below half before offering a refill. Price wise was good, $27 per. Although I didn't like the fact that they charge you a extra $14 (wasteful plates) if you don't finish you plate. It's definitely return spot. read more

What a fun food experience! This is somewhat like the asian version of Melting Pot, but better. Upon entry, you are temp checked and provided with hand sanitizer. If you pass muster, a cute robot delivers you to your assigned table. Pros- The service was spot on attentive and friendly. There was plenty of seating space so guests were socially distanced very well. Loads of food choices for both bbq and hotpot options as well as unique fruit choices (dragonfruit and lychees!) Memorable dining experience to share with family and friends Cons- Instructions on "how to hotpot" would have been a smidge helpful. Fortunately, we came prepared and watched a YouTube video beforehand so it wasn't a total "start from zero" experience. We tried 4 different hot pot soups and the original was not the winner. Beef short ribs were tough... not sure if that was our fault (hey, we cooked it!) Overall, we enjoyed the evening dinner and will most definitely be back. read more

We went for the all you can eat crab legs. The food had absolutely no seasoning. The crab legs have no flavor at all and taste just like water. I asked for some type of seasoning to add and was told they had none. I was given a cup of the broth from the seafood boil. I literally asked for minced garlic, salt, and lemon to add to the broth with butter to try to give the food some type of taste. They didn't have many side options and I mainly ate meat. The fried chicken wings were good, but I didn't go there to eat chicken. We even tried a hibachi bowl, but the teriyaki sauce was extremely salty and had an after taste. I literally took a loss with the $64 bill for two. I left thinking I wish I'd tried some of the other seafood restaurants that the locals recommended, but my Mom loves crab legs so we went here and were both disappointed in the meal. read more
