They have really upped their game on the quality and quantity here! Under new ownership, there's offerings of specialty items like Takoyaki (delicate chopped octopus in fluffy lightly fried balls) to fried oysters, and other delicious offerings. Some items are only on the weekend, but even their weekday sashimi, nigiri, and rolls are larger portions and of high quality. The entire sushi section is much improved. The cooked side has just about everything you'd expect on a Chinese buffet and is cooked very well. There's also soups, noodles, and rice. The habachi section looks to have a lot of fresh options which I have never tried, but must be pretty good judging by the people who are happy to wait for their selection to be cooked right in front of them. This has become one of our favorite buffets for the vast selection and great quality.

Great variety of foods and they also have a build your own stirfry station. Service is great. I was making sure our drinks are full. The food is always fresh and hot and always filled up. The sushi bar is great. They're always making fresh sushi the place is cutely decorated in a Chinese day and it's very laid-back. Highly recommend trying this place if you haven't.

Quite a variety of simple desserts

The staff was all great! Very nice people. Friendly hostess, nice waitstaff. Lots of MSG. By the time the three of us left, we all had headaches. None of us felt good after eating dinner there. There's a wide variety. Several offerings of fresh fruit. Plentiful toppings for your salad. Every employee seem to be practicing food safe, so that was a plus. I don't normally go places that require a sneeze guard over the food but it was my husband's birthday and he loves these places so we came here. Of course the food is very Americanized, but some of it isn't too bad. The sushi was all right. The desserts were cute. The beef spareribs were very good, so were the green beans. 2 items were very good. The spicy shrimp was pretty good. Most of the food was so so but we didn't try the hibachi. We did try small amounts of at least 1/3 of the offerings. My husband was disappointed and I kinda thought we got what we paid for. if you are very hungry or are feeding teenage boys, this might be a good place to go for you. Nothing was bad, but nothing was really great either. They had plantains which was a nice surprise but they were dry. Huge variety for the kids as well, including pizza, and hotdogs. We probably will not return, however, if you want large quantities of food, this might be the place for you, especially if you're trying to feed big eaters on a budget.

Variety of food

Wow. Amazing varieties of food. We were there for dinner and they have sashimi , clams , mussels and of course hibachi , soups , and other Chinese dishes. Steak little tough, and don't order white wine as they are not chilled Peak times might have a line but so worth it. Will be returning soon.

We arrived for lunch on Saturday 8/31 and it was very busy. There had been previously waits out the door since the grand opening. We decided to hold off on dining in and just give them a try for lunch. We had heard mixed reviews on social media and we wanted to wait a couple weeks to let them work out the kinks. We were seated on the other side of the restaurant near the servers station. It was loud and very high traffic. Upon visual inspection the restaurant is beautifully decorated. The artificial cherry blossom tree is very nice at the entry. I give them 5 stars for decor and the servers attentiveness. They have this part down. Where there are issues is food quality. They had Florida Blue Crab that were very large and looked amazing, but had a chlorine/bleach taste. Everyone at our table was so disappointed, as this was a main reason we decided to dine in! The drinks didn't taste like bleach, nor did the sushi. Just the crabs. We felt sad to see all that wasted crab on our plates, so we informed our server. They must have been rinsed in bleach. It had permeated through the shells. I explained, but I don't think she understood me. She was polite, but no recook was offered. That was the main reason we went and our table only got 7 plates of food total for 4 people. We tried a few other items here and there, but nothing stood out. I normally don't do hibachi, but I needed some protein. So I got some steak and shrimp. Shrimp was good and properly deveined. Regretfully, the beef was tough. Possibly a chuck cut? Vs Steak? Really tough, rubbery with gristle running through the slices. The cream puff was also frozen. The hot sugar covered doughnut was loved by my son. They had a nice fruit and dessert station! Definitely a plus in this department. That rubbery steak was bitter the end for me. Then the check came and they charged dinner prices during lunch. We arrived at 1:30 and 3:30 is lunch cutoff, so to pay nearly $20 for bleach flavored crabs and rubbery beef is a travesty. We definitely didn't feel like it was a good value. Even if crab wasn't offered? I hope things get better. I have heard some good things, but I'm definitely in no hurry to return. As we walked to our vehicle, we got a whiff of a bad smell in the parking lot. They need to close off the dumpster area, because it was overwhelming. I really hope this place gets better. The saving grace was the sushi & that's not saying much. *this rating is generous, but I feel they can improve.

Do not walk - RUN to this amazing buffet in Deland. We got the lunch special. It consists of all…read moreyou can eat salad, one meat entrée, all you can eat vegetables, potatoes, and rice your drink, and one dessert. I chose the turkey pot pie as my one entrée and it was the most delicious thing I have eaten in a hot minute. The food at this restaurant is homemade. It's not just some like chef cooking in the back. This stuff is home made. I am a chocolate fanatic. I have never tasted a better chocolate cake in my life. I've been chocolate cakes, and I'm very proud of them. Cooks puts my chocolate cakes to shame. The decor is like being in someone's home. My waitress was amazing. Eat at this restaurant. You will not be disappointed.

While, it seems that many either strongly love or strongly dislike this local, legendary, vintage…read morerestaurant, I'm going to go ahead and give it four stars! Once you understand that this is a restaurant founded in 1959, housed in a former two story home originally built in 1951, you may come to appreciate the history and understand the vibe. It is truly amazing that this historic restaurant has survived in 2026. I happen to like the uniqueness and honestylye-feel, as if you're at someone's grandma's house. There is plenty of parking directly behind the restaurant and a small lot in ftont of the restaurant. There's parking along the side too. I enjoy the beautiful plants and flowers surrounding the restaurant. Honestly, they can make for a nice photo on a good day. Upon entering, if it's busy, like on Sunday afternoons, you'll find that you'll receive a little card with a number on it. After waiting and listening for your number to be called, you'll be seated. Check the website before you go... You'll be prepared for the hybrid meal service. Some things are served to you at the table and are not unlimited, like soups and desserts. Some things are self-serve and unlimited, like the old-fashioned salad bar and hot vegetables. A server will hand-carve your choice of meat for you. Just "know-before-you-go" by taking a quick glance at the website. Is it five star food? No. Is it just homey country style cooking? Yes. They serve lunch and dinner. They are supported by generations of locals. Lots of people like to celebrate their birthday here. If you bring at least 3 friends to help you celebrate, you'll dine for free. Contrary to many reviews, I've never experienced or seen rudeness. In fact, I've seen staff taking the time to be friendly to guests. When coming here, you can't be super picky about the food - it's not a five star restaurant. Yes, the green beans may be from a can. It's okay, you'll survive! Enjoy the unique experience!
