Habachi Buffet is a staple in the buffet scene in Flint/ Genesee County. I love how diverse and vast their offerings are, and they frequently innovate new stuff. The KBBQ ribs/ steak is new and so on par with what I was craving the other day. There's tons and tons of seating, and they can accommodate parties. They've got a sushi bar, a hibachi preparation area, soups, and desserts. They've got Chinese-American staples like General Tso's, black pepper chicken, and fried noodles and rice. The lighting is dim, but I don't find that to be a bad thing. You will eat lots and eat good here. The waitstaff are prompt to seat you, refill your drinks, and get you your bill as soon as you ask. read more

Stopped in with friends for a late afternoon lunch about 3:00. We were seated right away and our waitress took our drink order. The place has an Asian vibe with soft music playing in the background. The selection on the buffet was huge plus they offer the Hibachi area where they will grill up your own concoction of meats veggies and seasonings. The Sushi area had a wide selection of actual sushi along with veggie and "non fish" selections. They also had a peel and eat shrimp area by the sushi. All of the food I tried was very tasty and I was impressed that for mid afternoon, the food was fresh and regularly refilled. We were able to take advantage of the "Lunch Special" pricing that was good until 4:00 along with the senior discount which made for a very reasonably priced lunch.We will definitely be returning. read more

The food wasn't great. The service was ok. Wasn't a big fan of the lady standing next to me as I got my card out to pay and I had to turn my card to pay. It made me a little uncomfortable be watched like that. The ambiance was a little dark and the restrooms were not clean. read more

Habachi Buffet - Japanese Near Me - Flint, Michigan

The food was great but when you have a bit left on the plate, they'd rather throw it out than to let you take it home . That's terrible. If they at least had the tiny containers . We were going to pay the per pound and not tip the waiter but then thought it was not their fault read more

went in to do a take out order told the girl what I wanted and was told they do not do take out. As am looking at the menus

I really like this place especially for the variety. There is a sushi bar a really great dessert bar and you can get hibachi made fresh. Everything is constantly being turned over and served hot and your plates are constantly cleared. There's never dirty plates on the table. So the service is great the ambiance is great there's plenty of seating and plenty of parking. It's roughly $15 a person. Plus another almost three bucks for a drink but it is all you can eat and sometimes you can find coupons. The sushi bar alone is great you get about 20 different options. They make an in-house yum yum sauce which is decent. I like this place because it serves whatever mood I'm in they even have hot and sour soup, egg drop soup wonton soup, Americanized food like prime rib and salmon. Cheese sticks, chicken wings, onion rings, pineapple chicken, fried rice, general tso's chicken, The hibachi Bar has chicken steak crab shrimp plus vegetables lo mein noodles rice and rice noodles. There's plenty to choose from. You definitely won't leave hungry. read more

I have visited Habachi Buffet in Flint multiple times over the years, and generally, always have a good experience! The restaurant has truly elevated the concept of a buffet with its unique and healthy menu offerings. Keep in mind, this is not designer sushi. It is buffet. But, it is one of the better buffets I have had sushi at. The variety of dishes was impressive--there was something for everyone. The sushi was fresh, the hibachi station was fun to watch, and the ingredients across the board seemed high-quality. For the most part, the items are the same weekly, with the exception of some items like frog legs. I have gone when they have them, and when the do not. The atmosphere was clean and inviting, and the staff were friendly and somewhat attentive. They made sure our table was cleared of used plates promptly and were happy to answer any questions about the menu. One thing that does happen often, we always ask for bottle water, but I think just hear "water" and bring a glass of ice water. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the water, the times when things were very empty and not being refilled, some items sat too long and were gel and gross, flavor is all over the board from trip to trip. But overall, the food was good, the prices were reasonable, and the experience was enjoyable despite the hit or miss some weeks. Our good meals greatly outweigh the bad. We will for sure go back. Everyone has bad days and this place is no different. If you're in Flint and looking for a buffet that goes above and beyond, Habachi Buffet is worth a visit. read more

Wonderful place. Very good food. We love the crab Rangoon. The food is always hot and replenished.

We stopped off here for lunch after one pm. The place is clean and I liked the lighting and ambience. The buffet has a large sushi and salad section which takes up most the space. The rest of the food doesn't take up much area and I wish there were more of these choices. The food was pretty good but they were slow at refilling the buffet. My favorite was the pineapple chicken. I wish the pepper steak had been a little more flavorful, it was a little bland tasting. The egg drop soup was really good but not very hot. I wish there were more dessert choices but what I had was good. The fortune cookie was bland and stale. The wait staff was a little lazy and seemed to wander around aimlessly quite a bit. I would definitely go back though. It's a good value for the money. read more

The food was good. Lots of variety to choose from. Raw sushi, all different kinds of Chinese dishes, soup, rice , American, salad and dessert bar. I didn't really like the staff and lack of cleanliness in taking dirty dishes away and bringing out stuff we asked for. They kept everything filled up. read more

When this place first opened it was good, but every time I visit I'm more and more disappointed- and this last attempt will be my last. I kept going back every couple of years to see if it had improved and it hasn't. Everything is greasy, the fried rice was inedible. I even waited for a fresh pan to come out and it tasted very chemical like. Under seasoned, overly greasy, dirty, gross. Wish Flint had better Chinese food options. The only good place anymore is Empire Wok out in Burton- but after this last visit to Hibachi, a drive to Burton is more appealing. Also- they have a very discriminatory message on their prices sign- "Children over 5FT Tall pay adult prices" Uhm, excuse me? That's bizarre and very very rude. read more

If nothing else. I give this restaurant 4 stars for the available menu items. Wow! There are so many and so nicely laid out. From the fresh sushi, the salad and fresh fruit bar, the hibachi grill is a little wanting, but definitely enough for me, the freshly prepared food options. I was pleasantly surprised and I ate everything I put on my plate! Usually I take half home. I put together a plate for the grill which consisted of fresh shrimp, green peppers, onions, mushrooms, that pseudo lewis kemp fish, bean sprouts, baby corn, hot oil, chopped garlic and teryaki sauce. It was perfect. Sides were fried rice, vegetable angel hair pasta and cabbage. For dessert, I had mandarin oranges and peaches (likely from the can that's why I selected them ), fresh pineapple, honey dew melon and cantelope, cucumbers and tomatoes in light italian dressing. Whew! Maybe I was just hungry. All that for $15.99. The bathrooms? Eh. read more

My brother had been telling me about these Las Vegas rolls that he had gotten from here, so when I came in town, I wanted to try them out. I got an order of them and an order of California rolls. While we waited on our food, we sat in the parking lot and checked back when they stated our order would be done (15 minutes). I cant remember what was in that building before, but it sits on the corner of Linden and not sure of the cross street (it has been so long since I've lived here, I dont remember). But nice set up. You must wear a mask and they take your temperature when you will dine in. They also require you to wear gloves at the buffet, which this is the first time I have seen that and I think this should have been done years ago. Anyway, our food is ready and my brother grabs it. Then my daughter wants eggrolls and Chinese donuts, so she paid for those and we left. Those Las Vegas rolls were delicious. I loved them. I know we would have something similar here, it would just fall under another name. But the next trip home, I will surely be going back again. read more

Food and service great. Sushi outstanding. A little pricey. Definitely more adult than little children

Definitely a Hit and Miss place to eat. Have noticed it's more of a miss lately. Especially today. Insane as busy as it was. Hot food was not , fried food was not crunchy . Every single tub in the ice cream bar was to empty to scoop. And the ladies room !!!!!! Seriously just about threw up from the smell when I walked in there. A couple piles on the floor. That definitely should have been in the toilet. Boxes of food sitting on the floor. Do they not have to worry about Health Department visits ???? read more

The price is unbeatable! The food is all pretty good, the quality could be better but it's a buffet. The sushi is decent, especially since it is a buffet. The service is good and quick. All of the food is pretty fresh. It's usually always busy but is a huge place so have never had to wait to sit. read more

My kid had been at camp for over a week and was craving "real food" for dinner as we drive across state. She loves Chinese buffets but we were going to get back to late for our regular place (which is only just ok in my opinion). We saw this place and while we had some reservations after reading the other reviews we were hungry and decided to try it. We saw a father and son leaving as we were getting out of our car and they said it is great. Our first impression was the place looked very nice inside with lots of areas for food. After we sat down our waitress Yan was very attentive and fast. We got up to explore and were surprised at not only the wide variety of food but that there was also a nice variety of sushi. There was no-one at the Hibachi area and I was genuinely surprised to find out it was a true Hibachi s read more

Still delicious even with the chilled oysters! The hibachi is so good. Beautiful large building, wonderful hard working staff. read more

Stopped in for dinner Thursday @ 4:30 - Food was good as usual but Big Shocker when I got the bill! $39 for two dinners and two cokes?? Went from under $9 to $15 for dinner! Near $3 for a Coke? That's a bit steep! read more

Amazing food. Always fresh. Great service and great price. Huge buffet selection and plenty of seating. The overall ambience is good.

Great and fresh foods cooked. Vegetables and fruits are delicious. If you are looking for a healthy meal buffet, this is a great place and clean. read more

Been here twice now. Both times have been great. Sushi is fresh, service is good and food is fresh. The 1st time was Christmas Day 2022. We got there before noon, place had a handful of tables filled. When we left, they were getting busy. Food stations are clean, and items are mostly labeled. Went there for dinner on a Monday night around 5:30pm, they were busy again. Same quality, good tasting food, clean and well kept. Great prices too. read more

Habachi Buffet - Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Flint, Michigan

Good food, great selection for the buffet portion. Habachi was lacking and sad looking. Will be back for buffet though.

Always fast, fresh, friendly waitstaff. Great sushi and lots of American choices too. Just wish they carried Coke products.

A fine lunch was had. Glad to find a good buffet since moving to Flint. Enjoyed the soup and dumplings.

I've been here for a couple of times and most of the services weren't great. If I could rate this a zero, I would do it. I'm a Chinese person, and obviously those people who work and own that restaurant are also Chinese. I don't know if they knew that I understand Fuzho Dialect, but I do. One of them was talking to another waitress and she called me fat behind my back. The other waitress started snickering and agreeing with her. After a while, I see them staring at me whilst I was eating my food. Wow, rude waitresses and sucky service. I only took a plate of Crawfish, is it really a big deal? We came in about 15 minutes before dinner time and they already switched some of their foods to Dinner Only, which narrowed our food selection to a few choices. I notice that the Owner of this restaurant and the workers there keep staring at us, which made us uncomfortable and also awkward. I found a hair in the big tub of Vanilla Ice Cream, which was disgusting. They seriously need to check the ice cream once in a while. The Mint Chocolate Chip Ice cream was empty, and they didn't refill it. The entire time I was there, the sushi plates were pretty much empty. This was a big disapointment since I love sushi. The cup I got for my water was dirty. The Beef short rib was tough and overcooked. I couldn't even get it off the bone. I don't really recommend this restaurant. Really poor service. read more

Ambient is similar to a school cafeteria. Food is fair for a public buffet. Service is fair to good depending on the mood of the waitresses. read more

This is my favorite buffet in the area. More times than not everything has been hot and service is fast. It's important though, to thoroughly check the silverware, bowls, and plates for leftover food because I have caught that once or twice and am usually scraping off crud before I use it. Also, I prefer coke. Today I asked for that, they carry Pepsi. So I got something else. But right from my seat I notice later they sell bottles of coke for $2 out of the cooler... would have been nice if the waitress would have mentioned that. I ended up paying for two drinks... ‍ read more

Habachi Buffet - This buffet has the best dessert! - Japanese Near Me - Flint, Michigan

Nope. Never again. My first and last time. Not one item of a large selection of food stood out as good or even palatable. Service was poor and the price was way over for the value of everything. This place dropped the ball in so many ways. (also, the bottled beer was warm and tasted like it was uncapped and re-filled with flat tap beer.) Nope. Never again. read more

I'm not big on sushi or Asian cuisine in general but with that said, I'm a believer now, the help was amazing, the food was to die for and the atmosphere was just perfect. The vibes of this place are something that if your within the area, is a must try. I give Habachi buffet 5 stars across the board. Keep up the good work!!! read more

I feel like crap after eating don't go there they have roaches I've heard and gets worse every year

If this place didn't have 30 cars parked out front we would have turned around. We're so glad we didn't. The buffet was great. There was a lot of people here on a Sunday so the food was in rotation kept fresh and hot. They have an awesome pepper chicken that I'm always looking for when I go to buffets. They have all of the usual contenders of chickens, noodles, rices, fried foods and some extra seafoods like crawfish, few types of shrimps and frog legs. The sushi selection is decent for both raw and cooked and fresh made. My favorite was the Las Vegas roll. They also have a buffet that has prime rib, cooked fish, and sausages. The cold Buffet has a large amount of items for salad and fruits as well as pasta salads. The soup buffet has 4 different soups and wontons. The dessert buffet is popping. At least 6 options for dessert and an ice cream Chest with 6 different flavors with toppings to choose from. Overall it was a great experience! read more

Absolutely atrocious, I was sick to my stomach the entire time.Even felt a little light headed I found a fly in my broccoli and immediately lost my appetite, I had 1 plate and was charged 70 dollars. Do not come here!!! read more

I would give then less stars if I could. Myself and my children all got instantly sick, projectile vomiting, diarrhea, cold sweats. Had to call Teledoc for the illnesses they said it was more then likely norovirus/ or shigellosis. Which can only be fixed w fluids and rest. (We haven't felt this bad in a very long time.) Also parents pay attention to your tickets, my kids were charged as adults because of their heights when the menu clearly states ages and not height. (We 've been here before and they charged based on age not height) The cashier and waiter were rude and upset that I pointed out that my kids were younger then what they thought, and they dropped the price by a $1 when it was a $5 difference plus the difference in tax. They eventually adjusted the price to my kids ages, after raising their voice and saying that they were going to take away the $1 adjustment. Very unprofessional. We went during lunch between 2-3pm, on Monday, July 23,2018. read more

Used to be good. Sushi was dry, my child's chocolate milk had a fortune from a fortune cookie at the bottom of it. Where did the cookie go? Out of the many different foods we tried, 4 were edible. I'll never waste my money there again. Should have just bought pizza like we had to later that night anyways because nobody ate on a $70 bill. Not worth stopping for. read more

I have never had a bad experience or meal here. The staff has always been friendly, the food wonderful and plentiful. This is one of my favorite buffets hands down. Picky eaters can find something here. If not, leave their asses at home and enjoy! read more

Staff was nice but the food wasn't good. For a hibachi place it was very odd to only have one rice cooker of white rice that's hidden and one pan of "fried rice" that looked fake. Do yourself a favor and go to Sagano's so much better. read more

Wanted to share my experience here, as I felt tho the place was nice and the spread attractive, I felt it was subpar even for this style of restaurant. I arrived at 3:20pm, so just before dinner transition, which was happening around me as I picked things. Some things are marked dinner only, and share the same tables as lunch items. Could potentially be confusing. Even for a buffet place, it takes shortcuts everywhere. In the sushi, they use the mini micro shrimp and expect you not to notice that they did not cut up real shrimp. The taste of the sushi rice was extremely gummy, take that for what you will. The hot and sour soup had zero vinegar making it only hot, the potstickers were mushy and tasteless, the crab and cheese (their version of crab rangoons) were nothing but sugary purée - no crab detected, the general tso's was pineapple chicken -- and it was just lots of small things added up. The rest of the food I had was standard Chinese buffet. On the plus side, they did have dim sum that actually tasted great. They also had miso soup on the buffet which was unusual and welcome. The final issue is it is fairly dimly lit, and a singular high wattage lamp is directly over my table, and the interior has food stains and looks like it has not been cleaned in a while. The men's room was gas station horror movie with the single fluorescent flickering light - it looked run down compared to the nice interior - like they remodeled the main floor but didn't follow through to the restrooms. Like I said, shortcuts. I'm an out of towner, so I have no vendetta, just pointing out my experience. The staff was prompt and attentive, no complaints there. This was the only asian place (I tend to avoid buffets when possible) within thirty miles open at the time. Lunch came to 7.41 - so price is more than reasonable. Hope this helps! read more

Habachi Buffet - Front -- use the left doors because the right ones don't work. - Japanese Near Me - Flint, Michigan

-1287/10. Do not recommend. This is by far the worst dining experience I have ever had. The food was disgusting! But my major concern was cleanliness. I watched as a lady got some ice cream on her hand while scooping for ice cream, lick it off and then go back to scooping and getting more on her hand. The table next to us had left and before new people were sat, the waitress brushed off some crumbs with her hand before they were sat. Was not cleaned off properly at all. I also had a fly in my first (and last) plate of food. Absolutely disgusting and unsanitary. Floors sticky. Plates and silverware dirty. Nasty. Stay away. read more

Good variety on the buffet. The restaurant is clean and the food is really good. I like their sushi and everything on the buffet, but I have to admit that habachi aspect is not all that great. Service is good, but could be improved. Still, for good sushi, this is as good as it gets in the area. The price and quality are good, but occasionally it's not as clean as it should be. Usually, it's because they are really busy, but I used to work in a restaurant in college and I know that keeping up with cleaning is important, about as important as the food or service and definitely more important than price. read more
