I am really upset with myself.... For not coming here before now. I travel for a living and virtually eat every meal out. I read the reviews on this place and avoided it because of the bad reviews. Today I decided to take a chance, walked in and asked if I could just go look at the buffet. The lady was very nice and the food looked good/ fresh. Turns out it was some of the best Chinese that I've ever had. The egg drop soup was the best I've ever had and the hot n sour was also delicious. I guess the people writing the bad reviews must just love to complain. In the future every time I come to Burlington I will definitely eat here. read more

I personally don't see any problem with anything here the food has been great every time I've went in fact I'm about to go there right now

Most disgusting excuse for chinese food ever. Food was cold, actually cold to the touch. Beef and broccoli, Chicken and broccoli had just boiled broccoli tossed in with the meat with ZERO flavor and congealed sauces. 3 of their buffet stations didn't even have food being served. The food was as if it was refrigerated the night before after closing and returned to the table when opening the next morning. The Lo Mein noodles were a solid block of sticky cold noodles. Cheese sticks snapped and were completely cold in the middle. Hot and sour (keyword SOUR) soup was sweet vinegar water. We finished nothing. I will be contacting the Health Department There are serious food service violations at this place of business. read more

I couldn't even eat. The buffet food was all barely warm and there was a stench so off putting that I lost my appetite and went to chipotle instead. I overheard one of the patrons complain about the food not being fresh and decided not to risk it. read more

I really should have read the reviews before stopping in at this place for lunch. It is horrendous. Not only was half the food on the buffet cold, but the sushi was legitimately rotten. Nothing tasted right, all the chicken had a weird vinegary taste to it. Do yourself a favor and do not stop here! It's also overpriced, go figure. read more

Service was good and food was very delicious. Lots of variety and not just china but all kind!

Every time I come and eat here I have a great experience. The staff is very welcoming and the food tastes amazing as well. The seating is also very comfortable too, nothing but positive comments to say about this restaurant. read more

Stoped in the lunch at midday, maybe ten people there. Food wasn't good, wasn't bad, they only had three tables of warm food and three empty tables for warm food. They did have the hibachi grill/sushi/salad table and a dessert table. I would not go back, about the least choices of warm food I've ever seen at a Chinese buffet. AND $40 for lunch & drink for two people. read more

went there and food was not good at all been eating at lots of Chinese buffets and corner restaurants this is the worst i have never gave anyone a 1 star review! read more

i wouldn't even give this shitty place a star. The food stinks, the waiters are rude, snatching papers and shit from our table, there was dirt in our drink, and food was cold burnt and bland and the ceiling had stains on it read more

Get this, I was there once and it REEKS of blood or something,and when I asked some one they said "there was a DEAD CAT in the fridge and people started to leave". So I asked the staff and ,they were sweaty and said they knew nothing about it. Don't trust this place. read more

Worst buffet in three counties - greasy cold and everything is the lowest quality and way overpriced even in the Biden economy

This place was awful. I went there at 11am when they opened. Somehow we were their first customers and the food on the buffet was low in stock and was cold. There was no ice cream available and the hibachi grill was unavailable as well. I could barely take three bites of my food before I stopped, paid, and left. The lunch buffet was $14.99 per person and with pricing like that I would avoid this place at all costs! read more

This place is bad. No, I mean Really Bad! Too much bad to say. Just go elsewhere. I ate three bites, paid and left and went to Longhorn. This place is bad. No, I mean really really bad! read more

Cold buffet food. I'm not one for buffets, I'll admit. Normally buffets are swamped with mediocre foods. The one plus to a buffet, for me, is the ability to eat a huge variety. I think the variety offered at Hibachi buffet is better than average for the price. The problem is the temperature of the food. Keeping food cold or at room temperature for long periods of time exponentially raises your risk of food-born illness. Most of the items I tried were room temperature or cold. I tried 20 different things and very few of them were warm. None of them were hot. I think this is due to a fundamental misunderstanding of how these steam buffets work. These buffets are not designed to warm or heat foods up. They are designed to MAINTAIN temperature, not raise it. If you put the food into the buffet cold it will stay that way. The service was pleasant. The restaurant was reasonably clean and the koi pond was cool. read more

I love this place. Great food an value for your money, A lot of food also.

A pepsi product establishment. Food was hot.... poor seafood selection, I was led to believe there was snow crab on the buffet based on pictures however not the case. Its 9.99 a pound for snow crab eat in only. They did have a few very fishy fish dishes, the hibachi was good. A bit of cross contamination but it all gets cooked. crawfish and minila clams were the saving grace here as I love them both and ate about 10 pounds. Over all not bad... would go back. read more

DO NOT EAT HERE. My autistic cousin and his group were DENIED SERVICE. The reason they gave was that management didn't think they could pay. This is a group of SUPERVISED autistic adults that had money to pay. There is no reason that this group should not be able to dine there. This is nothing but discrimination and they should have not been turned away. HELP US STAND AGAINST DISCRIMINATION. read more

STOP BEING DISCRIMINATORY! What you did to refuse service to a group simply because at least one of them was mildly autistic was WRONG.

Their buffet is average at best, but has a reasonable hibachi bar. I would not be writing this review unless I didn't have anything nice to say, but they probably have the best boba tea in the area for the best price. Otherwise, I wouldn't go again. read more

I never realized that I lived so close to this gem! I pass this hibachi buffet alllll the time but never gave it any second thought to eat here. My friend suggested this place on a Sunday afternoon. We were seated pretty quickly and drinks were ordered. The place was pretty packed but I never seen an empty tray on the buffet. They had a large selection of hibachi & Chinese food. There was also sushi and sauces available. I was pretty impressed with the different selection available. I didn't realize that they had crab legs available until it was time to go. I will definitely recommend this buffet and will be returning! read more

So I went during lunch time which should be one of the busier times during the day. Deciding to try this restaurant for the first time during lunch because all the food should be fresh early in the day. All the food was cold, low in stock, poor taste. Even the replacement food was nasty. I usually give places a few chances but I will not visit this restaurant again. The best part about the visit was the chopsticks, ice and Sprite. read more

rotten salmon would NOT recommend this place..it was enticing because they delivered..but never again..I only had the sushi..but, in their defense I don't think anywhere in this area has fresh fish... sorry NC natives! read more

Hibachi Buffet - Nasty fat on the stale bitter salmon..and unusually bright ginger..never again - Sushi Bars Near Me - Burlington, North Carolina

Hibachi, Buffet, if you like hibachi food, you will like this place. There is a lot to choose from, but the raw bar to the chef station is the ticket. Not fine dining by any stretch, it is a buffet, but the price is right at $9.99 per person. read more

My son and his classmates went to eat there they are children with disabilities two of them could only eat pureed food they sat down and the children that could only eat pureed food pulled out their lunch box and they tell them they could not eat there even though the workers offered to pay for their plates even though they weren't going to eat that is discrimination and I will never eat there and besides their food is cold and not good read more

This place is hit or miss, but my last visit was pretty solid! The sushi lineup was great considering I went for lunch, not dinner, and pretty much every pan was well-monitored (either replaced or ruffled up to keep it from getting nasty). The crowd wasn't bad - again, probably because I was there for lunch - and the wait staff was actually friendly and attentive, which is more than can be said for most Asian buffets. Lets talk about the food though... It was good! Great diversity of options, something t satisfy every craving, and not one in the 15ish items I tried disappointed because it looked better than it tasted. Honorable mention goes to the "Italian chicken breast" (yeah I'm not sure either, like a taco-spiced cream sauce on it), the banana pudding, and the quesadillas. My only complaint is that I love dim sum and they didn't have any, but in all honesty dim sum wouldve been extra credit. This is the $9 lunch gold standard, the price compared to what you're getting here really exceeds expectations. read more

The buffet food is no good. Unfortunately they have a lovely policy of "$7/lb of food not eaten" so it's eat the crap or pay extra for it. The service is fine. The hibachi is good. I asked for all the sauces on my hibachi, he gave me soy sause and handed me my plate. So could be better. read more

I was with my little brother who is 7yr old and I am 22. I had to pay $30 for me and my little brother... it's very pricy

As good of a food bar as I have ever seen. Steak, chicken salads, and the seafood. Their array of mussels is great and their oriental food is very good. Lunch is a special buy, $7.95 and a glass of water and you can be miserable the rest of the day. read more

Decent selection but the service is terrible. I understand its a buffet so I dont expect to be waited on like a normal table service restaurant but i do expect staff to be polite! We were seated and without saying a word the waitress comes by and sets the silverware and straws on the table and walks away. Few min later she slams our waters down on the table and leaves. She didn't say word to us the entire time. The normal buffet selection was decent but tasted bad. The hibachi selection was good and tasted great, the cook was friendly and fun to watch. I wouldnt get the chicken from the hibachi bar it looked slimy and gross but everything else looked fine. I give them 2 stars for the hibachi thats it. Not worth the $10. I forgot to mention the waitress was walking by to grab plates and she took my wifes plate right out from under her while she was eating! read more

Food was good but price was not. Had to pay full adult price for my 10 year old. Children 9 and older are considered adults.

Awesome food and large selection to choose from. This is one of the largest buffets with a Mongolian chef also that I have been too. Fresh and hot food at a very reasonable price. read more

This place used to be great. But it has taken a turn for the worse. The food is downright nasty overlooked and just yucky. I didn't get one thing on the buffet that was good. Sushi looked terrible, it's up beside the grill getting heated up and going bad. Not a good place for sushi. Service was ok but the food was a disappointment. Not recommended. read more

This place is old and dirty..They have the lights down low to hide dirt. The ice cream bar is horrible black stuff around the rim of the window. And no it's no from chocolate ice cream. Food was cold. read more

Don't do it, don't even think about it. The fried shrimp had to be left over from the night before. Place was filthy. Service was worse than awful, and it's a buffet. I mean, all you have to do is keep drinks filled and keep the buffet stocked. You could train monkeys to do it, but yet, they can't pull it off. I would have rather had a Big Mac. read more

Place isn't that great. Sub par food. La Cocina is 2 minutes away... so much better. It'll cost you $12 for a meal leaving you wishing you spent that money elsewhere. read more

Not bad of a place at all. This was my first time being here but for $10 and some change you can't really beat the options that the buffet offers. The waitress that we had was very attentive and on top of things as well. I'd certainly consider the hibachi buffet again. read more

I love this place! My family comes here every couple of months for get-togethers. The waitstaff are very friendly and are always on time with drink refills and making sure you have everything you need, but they don't hover like the waitstaff from other restaurants. There's always a wide array of food and the kitchen staff are always busy making sure they are serving the freshest food they possibly can. read more

Wow! I made a huge mistake eating at Hibachi Buffet. I should have turned around and walked out the moment I sat down at a booth. The place is disgusting and filthy. My shoes were sticky from walking on the floor. Much less, many of the items on the buffet simply were not to be eaten - especially the shrimp. Much of the food wasn't even Asian or Chinese. Instead, you're offered poor-quality American food: burgers, pork chops, mac and cheese. The sushi was warm; I only ate one piece and nearly threw it up. As to the wait staff - there wasn't one. I never got a refill, even though staff members walked by my table multiple times. I even had to ask someone to get me my check. All in all, it's one of the worst places in Burlington to eat. I'll never return. read more

Just nasty! All the fried food on the bar was hard as a brick like it had been sitting out for days. One of the soup containers was dried up and flaking off like it had sit on the steam table all day like that. The salmon was soaking in some type of red water and the sushi bar looked scary! The wait staff didn't refill my drink or offer and the bathrooms smelled clean only because they had just dumped clorox on the floors and swirled it around. Two adults and one kid for $34 and only a third of the food was worth eating. WILL NOT recommend this place to anyone! Beware! Had to stop on the way home for a ginger ale to settle my stomach and it's still talking to me..... Health card rating was a 92% read more
