Friday night at Hibachi Grill & Buffet in Chantilly should be busy, but this place was dead--just two other tables when we walked in at seven. Hostess barely looked happy to see us, and if that wasn't a sign, the food sealed it. Sushi was crusty, dried out, weirdly gray - honestly, you'd expect fresher from a gas station shelf. Chef at the sushi station was glued to his phone, blasting what sounded like a personal playlist so loud you could catch the rhythm from across the buffet. Wasabi was chalky and ginger looked days old. Soy sauce? Evaporating. Buffet choices were super slim, mainly shrimp. Beef and chicken stir fry didn't look worth the plate space. Two kinds of fried wings in total, which didn't help. Another staff had their phone volume maxed out, so the noise never stopped. Salad bar was a sad scene; brown edges and limp leaves, with dressings crusted over like they'd been sitting since breakfast. Forget the dessert section and fruit; nothing looked tempting. Soup looked so neglected, you'd swear it belonged in a donation bin. Ice cream was worse; just tough lemon and a chocolate that didn't pass the smell test. Only highlight? The hibachi chef hustled to make shrimp, and eggs feel freshly cooked, even if the supplies were running dry. The green tea was decent. But with sticky walls and greasy windows, it's hard not to feel like the place quit on cleanliness a while ago. At least our server has a smile. Takeaway: Skip this spot, unless you're real desperate for hibachi shrimp and don't mind a rundown vibe. This one's for folks who think food court sushi is gourmet. read more

This buffet offers a wide variety of food, including Asian and Western cuisines, soups, desserts, fruits, salads, and more. The pricing provides good value. Service is only average. While the portion sizes are generous, the taste is not exceptional, and some dishes are served cold or lukewarm despite the presence of a food warmer underneath. The ambiance is spacious and clean. read more

Pretty mediocre buffet. Our family of 13 was here for dinner and price was about $26/person. There were a lot of food options but thats including 2-3 types of chicken wings, pizza, french fries and nuggets. They used to have lots of seafood options but it looks like the quality had gone down. The crab were not good quality and only one type of crab dish. Headless cajun style shrimp were pretty good, fried shrimp with onion and pepper were also okay. They used to have pyster but no longer offer that. Sushi did not look too appetizing but I didn't expect much from a buffet place. Crawfish were tasteless but they always fill them so it does stay hot and fully stocked which is a plus. They have a hibachi bar which is probably the one dish that wasn't dissappointing, 4 different ice cream options, lots of cakes. Would not be somewhere I would come back to by choice. Service was okay, they did not come by to check on us or to refill our drinks. Restaurant is pretty spacey and big so plenty of rooms for big parties, families/group. read more

Food good service good ambience is good. I liked that you could take your kids and still enjoy and it's a buffet. Yes, I would recommend it and I do recommend it to anybody who asked me. read more

EXCELLENT WAIT STAFF! For food taste, diversity, and overall quality, I suggest you get in your car, pull a $20 bill out of your wallet, light it on fire, then go back inside your house. The ambience and interior is very warm and open. The seating arrangements have more than enough space so you can enjoy your meal with your party without interruptions from those next to or behind you. This might be one of the few places where I had to actually hesitate when putting the food in my mouth as I had to consider what I was doing the rest of the day just in case something happened to me. I tried at least 1 of everything they served and the best things they offered were the noodles, my diet pepsi and the styrofoam cups of ice cream. Sushi rice was overcooked and cold, the fish on the rice had blotches of discoloring, the meats offered varied in internal temperature (from room temp to warm), the rest of the dishes looked like they had so much oil and grease that it was to compensate for the quality. Definitely not a great combination. If this place only served fountain drinks, jello, and noodles - while keeping their wait staff, this would be a 5/5 any day! read more

Bad service, food is cold, and selection was limited. I provided feedback to the manager

Wow for the price their food is amazing!!! Not fan of the sushi but wow the noodles, rice, shrimp, beef, vegetables were all amazing!!!!!!!!! BELIEVE ME ITS WORTH IT! read more

Please stay away from this place!!!! The food was mediocre, everything was cold and honestly didn't taste that good. Now let's get into the service because if I could give it 0 stars I would but unfortunately I have to settle for just 1. Our server was yelling at us the entire time and speaking in a very rude tone, I understand english may not be many of the server's first language but you could just tell she did not want us there. This is a BUFFET, meaning you have to get up and serve your own food and bring it back to your table, the only thing our server did was bring us our soda and come back to refill it once. She was trying to rush us out and we had been sitting eating there for less than an hour and when she noticed we stopped she immediately came over and asked us how we wanted to split the bill. I consider myself a generous tipper as I always tip based on service and even if service isnt the greatest I would leave a tip. After we payed and she came back with our 3 receipts (we split it 3 ways) she was standing infront of me staring waiting for me to right down what I was going to tip and I did not appreciate feeling rushed especially because the service was so bad I honestly wasnt going to leave anything. My friends decided to be generous and leave $2 in cash and the lady came over yelling saying that we have to tip at least $5 and she kept repeating the same thing, mind you, tipping is NOT mandatory, sure it is the right thing to do but if you were treated the way we were you wouldnt have tipped either. My friends and I are latino and she began yelling at us "propina propina" which is "tip" in spanish as if we werent speaking perfect english to her the entire time... She then came over to my side of the table and began yelling at me because I hadn't written down anything on the check yet and I got up and left because she was disrespecting us and yelling at us. My friends followed after and the server began yelling at us in her native language and you could hear her screams across the entire restaurant. We then came back inside and attempted to speak to the manager to complain about how the lady treated us and the lady at the front desk was just smiling laughing like something was funny as if she wasnt taking our complaints seriously. This is a joke of a restaurant and an embarrassment to all buffets. Stay away from this please, literally any other restaurant would've a better choice. read more

Do not come here! Although the lunch buffet price was $15/person, the options were limited, the food was cold, and the seafood was not fresh. I had a very difficult time finding things to eat, but will say the fried shrimp was decent. When I go to buffets, I try to stick to seafood and sushi, but they only had sushi options and shrimp. Their shrimp was cooked but only slightly, and after peeling looked like it would give you food poisoning. The sushi was drowning in sauce. The service was ok. While eating, our table was given the check, even when there weren't many customers, it felt like they wanted to push us out quick. One highlight was that the hostess was very kind to take pictures of us on their wall and tried her best to get good pictures for us. Another highlight was that the sushi chef was singing and humming along to the music, and it lighten my mood! The ambience was shabby with dimmed yellow lights, and the floor was slippery. Overall, I was looking for a buffet, and although I wasn't looking for a 5 star spot, this one I would give 0/5 if I could. I will not be coming back. read more

We had a church party last night at Hibachi Buffet and Grill. Unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. The food didn't taste fresh, especially the sushi and other raw foods. After eating, some of my friends experienced diarrhea and vomited multiple times. The seaweed also tasted unpleasant and had a bad smell. We hope the restaurant will improve its food quality and freshness for the safety of customers. Sadly, we will not be returningn. read more

I used to go here and loved it! Since COVID HBG has plummeted in terms of food quality and service. The last two times I went here nobody was staffing the hibachi. I asked the staff and they just brushed me off. Horrible, do not go here. read more

- they need to have the sushi labeled just like everything else is labeled. I tried to ask the sushi chef what were each one and they completely ignored me. - they do a good job of replenishing things - hibachi grill was SO slow. Apparently they are short staff so we were told it would take a few minutes. One of my places just saw on the table, never got it. - they need to have more vegetarian options - drinks need to be covered in the price paid. Overall, food is ehh. Nothing special and most of it is watery or too salty. Definitely not very fresh. read more

Wonderful! Had more than enough wonderful things to offer. Delicious food. Fantastic,attention. Ambiance is gret great, good for families or just by yourself. read more

The sushi chef made a racist comment under his breath and when I went to the manager she said that she couldn't do anything. She said I should just speak to him. Turns out he is the husband of management there. I did speak to him and he acted like he didn't know much English and that he didn't say anything about me and my girlfriend. My advice is that if you're a P.O.C. do not go there. read more

Wish I had read the reviews before telling my son that we could eat here. The food did not taste fresh, and I observed unsafe handling of food. Hoping to God I don't get food poisoning tonight. Not the best $45 I've ever spent on dinner and wish I could take it back. My water arrived with dirt in it and the place is not that clean. read more

Front desk is extremely rude. Waitress staff are wonderful super helpful! Will not go back again because of front desk. Food is ok. Get someone else in front. read more

Reminds me of good ole days when seafood buffets were so prevalent (ie Peter Pan at FFX Circle). The interior was nice and modern (contrast to exterior). Low crowds for Sunday lunch. Service was meh, she wasn't ms.Sunshine but efficient. The selection is abundant, from sushi rolls, so many seafood, hot Asian food, salads, soups and desserts - a mini Vegas buffet. Oddly tho in the name, there is no Hibachi table side - maybe different owner? The price was unbelievably cheap- I think eating at Subway abt the same The biggest downside, the food is very mediocre - seafood was bland or soggy, nothing really spectacular but hey for price - still good experience. read more

If I can give this awful place zero star I would! It's TERIBLE!!! It mells awful that day I went. Food was cheaply made and very low quality and the worst was when I bit into a rotten piece of crab - I almost throw up. I brought that up to the manager who is also the hostess and her reply was "oh that's the kitchen's fault I have nothing to do with that. I'm just a hostess. I got up and left ... NEVER AGAIN - read more

a women working there was saying some stupid shit about the tip this bitch needs to be happy with that 1.50$ because i was generous. i told her she better be happy and she said she would call ice if i don't tip good (im hispanic) never going again 0/10 service 4/10 food read more

DO NOT GO HERE Food was alright 3 out of 10 to be honest id probably never come back here food is cold sometimes and the service is honestly shocking. Waiter scolded us and cut us off for just ordering drinks. they also start closing early looking at you to try and make you leave sooner honestly just rude and makes me lose appetite. the atmosphere is really gloomy just looks like a place about to shut down honestly concerned about actually eating then and getting sick. i do not know how this place is still open on top of that there was flys on top of our lamp over the table which is just nasty food looks like it has maggots everything is stale and nasty never coming back i wish i could shut this place down honestly calling the health department on this place the server also had the audacity to ask for a extra 10$ tip honestly annoying all she did was bring us drinks and got mad at us for it. just go to ihop instead. workers also stay on their phone next to you eating,which is just unprofessional. read more

This is absolute shit food. Best part of meal was that we (my family of 3) all receive a free refill. Super hype about that but then we quickly got drained of all our sort lived joy. When we didn't get a single fortune cookie. One last thing, who tf doesn't have the red sweet and sour sauce on a Chinese buffet? The answer is people who don't give a shit about you.. much love read more

Came here, with my friend, her kids and my son for my birthday and it was a bad experience. The customer service was bad! The front lady that seat us seemed upset. The server was really nice. The food was ok some of it was cold. The hibachi grill need more condiments. Different types of shrimp, fish, red meat and chicken. They have a variety of soups too! Both bathrooms were broken, they were extremely dirty, smelled horrible and the soap dispensers were damaged. The chef who was preparing the sushi looked unhappy. it was obvious that he didn't want to be there. There wasn't much variety of sushi and what out didn't look fresh. Would not recommend. Will never be returning here. read more

This is a regular spot for us when we can't decide on what to get. The food and service is always great! read more

A COCKROACH fell on my shoulder!!! The manager said there is "NO HARM, is just my should" "there was no damage made" my jaw was on the floor. Which tells me it probably has happened multiple times before and is extremely normal for her. WILL NEVER GO BACK!! read more

Sometimes I come here and love it and other times I come here and it's bad enough to where I avoid it for 6+ months. This last visit is one of those times. My biggest pet peeve is they have a printed piece of paper taped to their front door that clearly lists their hours of operations but like tonight they closed an hour early. I came in just after 8 o'clock and started to eat, but I realized that the entire time I was there nothing on the bar got restocked, which is disappointing because I expected them to close at 10 o'clock which is two hours not be on basically last call. Now the main reason I come here is because they offer crayfish and clams and most the time I like the way they're cooked and seasoned here so for $20 I can eat both at whatever quantity I choose. With that said the clams were amazing but the crawfish were very suspicious out of the 25 or so I ate. I had to pick out at least four for being soggy, soft, and just deteriorating and another five or six had to be tossed because the tail meat was black and I ended up not finishing the rest. So in conclusion, food- 2.5 out of 5 price- 4.5 out of 5 ambience- Having the entire staff sitting at the table next to you staring at you waiting for you to leave- 0 out of 5 Look I get it. I've worked in the food industry, but if your hours on the door say 10 PM and somebody there at 9 PM, it's frustrating from the consumer side of things. read more

this place was absolutely disgusting. i am repulsed by the food, service, and quality of the restaurant. all the food looked extremely unappetizing and gross, especially the sushi. the salad bar was just as disgusting with the greens looking wilted and the fruit molding over. not to mention the RAW chicken that was sitting out next to the grill. so gross. on top of all of this, the waitress forced us to tip. the food was overly expensive after having very little options that looked safe enough to eat. none of the waitresses were friendly and none of them looked happy to be there. the chefs were incredibly unprofessional in the back as well, sitting in chairs behind the food bar and were glued to their phones. NEVER eat here!! read more

I came for a Sunday dinner. Food was fresh and flavorful although the selection is a bit limited compared to other Asian buffets I've visited. I aimed mostly for the seafood & short ribs and have no complaints there. They have a sign that says all food must be replaced every 4 hours for safety reasons so it makes sense. The service however was dismal. I only saw 2 workers acting as hostess, waitress, and busser for a restaurant filled with people. Kinda felt bad for them as they were way understaffed. None of our finished dishes were cleaned up once and our drinks weren't refilled. We ended up stacking our dirty dishes on an empty table to make more space as did other customers. read more

I was in the Chantilly area and did not want to spend a lot of money for KBBQ, so I went here without looking at the reviews. My expectations weren't high for a Chinese buffet, but it was very underwhelming. Most of the food was greasy and bland. The server barely refilled my drinks, nor talked to us. I was surprised that the server did not provide good service, considering that it was not busy. When I got the check, the server just watched me. I thought he wanted me to give him my finished plate, but he put it down on a different table. After I wrote a line for no tip, the server got up in my face and tried to tell me to fill out the tip portion. I was confused because there was nothing else for me to do. He kept harassing me to fill the tip portion or offer cash. I immediately tried to leave, but then he called his manager to talk to me. When the manager came up to me, she was just as confused as I was. She did not even know what to say. I left right away, scared for my life. DO NOT COME HERE. read more

Three of the workers stood close to us staring and talking and laughing at us the entire time. It was very rude and disrespectful. read more
