Pricing was typical for a buffet. However, most Chinese/Asian buffets offer some variety of American foods; for lunch Hibachi offered fried chicken and salad bar for non-Chinese foodies, and that was about all. Many of the Asian dishes -- and sushi items --weren't labeled. So, unless you are familiar with Chinese foods you might be uncertain about what you are eating. However, the buffet did have its hottest, spiciest food presented in one area and noted they were hot items. As the name suggests there is a hibachi grill. There you select raw meats, vegetables, and other items for a cook to prepare for you. read more

This buffet I have not been to in years so this visit was special because my Grandmother loved coming here. My son and I had lunch here last week and it was good. Nothing super special here at this buffet. Yea they had seafood but it did not look too appetizing. To me the chickens, rice and noodles were good. Don't sleep on the egg and spring rolls either. Service was ok nothing to write home about. There is plenty of parking available. read more

Love eating here! I came for my birthday and it is my second time eating here. They have a hibachi bar that is amazing. You fill up a plate with what you want, pick your sauce(s) and they cook it fresh. There is also lots of premade foods. Awesome selection. The service at your table is also good, multiple times they pass by and check on you, refill drinks etc. The atmosphere is very nice and casual. A good place to hangout and eat lots and lots of food! Had a great birthday here and will be back again. read more

Ben LOVES this Hibachi buffet and gets a craving for it from time to time. We always try to go during lunch hours as prices are cheaper and honestly, we don't eat THAT much to make that many buffets a benefit for us financially. We both had been coming here for years, long before we knew each other. For a short time the place was sold to another company (I think) that made it into a crab shack type of restaurant but something must have happened as it came back to being a hibachi buffet. Funny enough, they kept all the seafood/crab decor up on the walls and around the place so it is kinda funny looking in there now. It is also nice that you can get your food to go and it is weighed out by the pound. Sometimes that works well, as you can eat as little or much as you go at home/work but many items also don't warm up too well so I prefer to eat everything fresh and while there. read more

We stumbled on this place by mistake. We wanted to have some noodles, rice, dumplings and fruit for the Lunar New Year and happened to be close to this place. It was clean with fresh food. The service was very pleasant and helpful. So much to choose from. The desserts, fresh fruits and hibachi ingredients were impressive for a buffet. We will definitely be back again. There is a huge water feature in the front entrance and the prior seafood restaurant decor as mentioned in a previous review but it didn't seem humid to us, but can see when it's packed or in warmer months that might be an issue. read more

Most of the food is very bland, tried the hibachi and it was edible but not good , price was okay for a buffet, not a lot of desert options, not the cleanest place, not really great service either, wouldn't go back read more

We stopped by for lunch and we were pleasantly surprised. The food we got (which was mostly everything) was hot and delicious. Our prior experiences were not the best. The service was good and the ambiance was clean. This buffet is definitely back on our restaurant rotation. read more

Mom wanted to go to this Buffet, not usually my thing, When you walk inside it is HUMID, likely due to the giant fountain in the entry. Service was good, lots of choices and I enjoyed the Mongolian BBQ. If you enjoy a buffet, you will likely e joy Hibachi Buffet. read more

3.5 stars. Had the lunch buffet with my wife and friends. This was an nice buffet that had some very interesting choices available. The whole fried fish, fried calamari, and baby octopus stood out to me. The dumpling dishes were good too. Chicken wings, chicken skewers, general tso/orange chicken were all pretty decent. The sushi was mostly lackluster, mostly variations on California rolls, although the tofu skin with seaweed salad was surprisingly good. The hibachi grill was also fairly mediocre. The beef was chewy, the shrimp were too small, and the sauces failed to shine. Also, where the heck were all the sauces? It would have been nice to see some cocktail sauce and duck sauce out somewhere...maybe I missed it...my wife came back with a little bowl of sauce she got from somewhere, but I never found it. Service was prompt, attentive, and not overbearing. It was a bit loud in the restaurant, but the ambiance was okay. There were some strange decorative choices...why on earth was there a NJ license plate on the wall? This is a place that is really catering towards an ethnic Asian audience, so stick to the more 'unusual' dishes and you'll enjoy yourself more. read more

The experience was nice. The family showed up to try out a new dinner spot, and it was great. The food was warm and the environment was calm. The place was very clean. read more

this place didn't really surprise me with food.. I love buffets and visit those a lot, but hibachi buffet didn't stand out. considering the size of place, I didn't get enough of choice, and almost no selection in sushi + chicken I was eating was impossible to eat, super dry, impossible to chew. I wouldn't go to this place, but my husband likes the food and personally for him, there is enough selection, I guess everyone has different taste. just try it for yourself and decide if you like hibachi buffet, or no read more

This buffet gives you a good variety of food options. I'm not big on buffets and to be honest this is the ONLY one I have been to since COVID. They keep the buffet clean and food hot. We have taken our grandkids here on multiple occasions and they always enjoy themselves. Service is good and place is open and clean. Truly enjoyed myself. read more

Stopped in between lunch and dinner--if you're big on seafood, I recommend requesting the dinner option since they had way more variety. Great spot for families or even solo diners who aren't quite sure what they're in the mood for. Plenty of choices, something for everyone. read more

First time here and the experience wasn't the worst. The food was served hot which is great but the server waiting on us did not inform us that drinks cost extra. I do not drink while eating due to surgical history so when she asked Pepsi or sprite, I got an extra drink for my husband. When receiving the check and noticed we were charged for a drink that was untouched, it definitely caught me by surprise. There also wasn't a large variety of options most buffets carry. The restaurant itself was very cleaned. read more

For a Chinese buffet this place has character and some unique dishes I've never seen anywhere else! I have never seen imitation crab and shrimp wrapped in bacon together. That was pretty good and unique! I love buffets because I can sample a huge amount of things without committing. This place has a lot more seafood including fresh shrimp under ice, sushi with a decent fish to rice ratio, and mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese was really good. Service was military in precision, as many of these types of places are. You set your empty plate by the end of the table and it's collected post haste. The decorum was honestly very quirky and interesting! There is a big waterfall by the front, and netting with fake fish decorate the walls. There was a lot to look at while eating! It was quirky, and honestly it looks like someone put a lot of effort into decorating and planning the layout which I love. It's more thought out. We will be back, for sure! read more

I guess now that you dont want to tip bad service the servers now think its okay to say f(u) and b word to you? And the manager does nothing but stay in shock no sorry nothing to accommodate for the bad experience one bad attitude ruined 3 experiences thanks definitely wont be coming back! read more

Will return - my friend and I are up since 5:30 and done 1.2 miles open water swimming by 9:30 at Sand Key park. After the medal ceremony at 10:30, we're hungry ... thanks to my friend who picked this place! They have a main hall where the foods are. There is a smaller one at the back. The food is decent. I particularly enjoyed the green string beans! I think their cheese cream spinach - the spinach is bit sweet - my friend tried and said NO. Most serving staff are Chinese. They're cheerful and quick on their feet. They take Apple Pay - yup, forgot my wallet. Thank you! The waterfall by the entrance is nice. read more

I'm going to say this before I even start if you want good sushi go to Publix!, I had went to the Hibachi buffet with my family on March 24 to say it was bad would be an understatement When I had went there I have got myself tuna sushi and california rolls as well as wasabi, When I put the sushi in my mouth it tasted like pebbles It had the consistency and taste of pebbles It was so bad that I kept grabbing napkin after napkin from it's holder trying to get the taste of the awful sushi on my mouth!, The wasabi there was also very artificial and you can tell I've noticed the wasabi there had a dark emerald green color​, They also have this artificial sugary smell coming from the dessert section And it really bothered my nose Which makes me wonder what they really put in their food, The service there was nice The waiters there were friendly and kind, however their food was really terrible If you want good sushi either get it at Publix, Go to another restaurant or make it at home!. read more

My family and I wanted a quick Chinese bite to eat and we could not be more disappointed. We came and asked for regular water with lemon and were given water from the literal sink. When we asked to be given another water we were told that the only one they have but we told them that it didn't taste like tap water if we could please get another refill and even though we don't talk Chinese we could tell they were talking about us. They did bring another water which was better. The food was not up to a 2 star standard minimum. The meat was missing seasoning and the sushi/seafood did not taste fresh. Overall a 1/10 experience read more

Food not great. Pepsi taste funny for all members at table.would not repeat. Staff very friendly and attentive.

Discriminatory asf!!! Assumed we couldn't afford to take our food home even though we knew we had to pay extra for the box ( we obviously knew and didn't care) but she wouldn't give us the option until I asked how much it was, so rude and workers kept staring and speaking in different languages talking about us UPDATE: the crazy lady practically chased us out of the store because we thought she added the extra charge to the receipt (like you'd normally think) we paid the bill and assumed that was it, we r walking out with the boxes and she's yelling running towards us "YOU HAVE TO PAY" we didn't know we had to weigh the boxes ourselves then pay a separate tab for the charge!! We left the boxes we were so taken aback my heart rate literally sky rocketed a pregnant woman, manager followed us out and we let him know what happened but no we will not be coming back! Lady needs to be taught proper service industry etiquette or be fired. Totally ruined our night read more

Loved the sushi, everything was fresh and piping hot. Excellent service and the restroom was spotless, always an indicator that everything is clean and sanitary. Will definitely be returning. read more

Very great staff and environment at this buffet. I have been here prior and had received the same level of service. I will add that the lo mein rice were excellent! Sushi was not good, and would not recommend it. The price tag was a bit high for dinner at $19. I would recommend if you are heading back from Clearwater and are feeling hungry, this is not a bad place to stop by. read more

A Christmas Day tradition, eating Chinese! We stopped here for the first time , had a nice Buffet and hibachi. Being Christmas Day, it was $20 a person. The food was about what you'd expect from a Chinese buffet and the interior and cleanliness were on par , tacky. Both the decor and tables . I never set my expectations too high with Chinese buffets and didn't with this one. We'll probably be back next Christmas Day. read more

Great customer service. Staff is above and beyond , we had to leave as our child started acting up. They were very understanding. Thank you

This is the most well-run Chinese buffet in the Bay Area. Food is always fresh and an excellent selection of everything you could ever want. The servers are very efficient and keep your table clean between buffet visits. It's a definite mainstay restaurant for me. read more

I have been eating at Hibachi Buffet at Clearwater FL (it's full, correct name) for about 9 months now for a total of 25-30 times. So, I think it's time to write a review. I ignored this place for about the first year and a half that I lived in the area until a friend recommended it to me. I really like seafood and USUALLY they have a decent selection on their buffet. Steamed Flounder, fried Shrimp, cold Shrimp, baked Salmon, and low-country boil (Crab legs, Shrimp, Crawdads, Corn on the cob and Muscles. I like Corn on the cob, Crab Legs and Shrimp.) I really like the steamed Flounder (when it's fresh). Today I stopped in after work about 6pm, height of the dinner hour, and they were about half busy. I went to the buffet and NO STEAMED FLOUNDER. O.K., it happens occasionally. I went to the low country boil pan- the corn was all shriveled up like it had been cooked several hours before and had just dried out! The Crab legs were tiny, little pieces and/or broken pieces- basically the scraps. I didn't say anything to the cashier/manager because I wanted to give Hibachi Buffet at Clearwater FL the chance to fill their trays on their own. I went to the stir-fry station and got a plate (not my favorite, but O.K.) so I had something to work on while I waited for my favorites to be replenished on the buffet. 20 minutes later I had been keeping one eye on the buffet and nothing had been re-filled. I went to the cashier/manager and mentioned the low country boil needed to be refilled, he said O.K. and continued talking on the phone. I stood next to the buffet waiting. 5 minutes later I said the same thing to the "hostess" that seats customers. She went up and told the cashier/manager- who continued to talk on the phone. Finally I said something to the lady ACTUALLY maintaining the buffet. She didn't even look at me, didn't say anything, no acknowledgment whatsoever and walked away towards the kitchen as slowly as humanly possible while still calling it walking! I continued to stand by the buffet. The cashier/manager continued to talk on the phone...and the minutes ticked by. While I was waiting, I and 2 other customers saw a teenage girl drop the rice scoop ON THE FLOOR AND THEN PICK IT UP AND PUT IT BACK INTO IT'S HOLDER FOR OTHER CUSTOMERS TO USE!!! One of the female customers who also saw this got pissed-off and she got up and carried the rice scoop and its holder to the stir fry station and gave it to the cook. Then 5 minutes later another Hibachi Buffet at Clearwater FL employee BROUGHT THE SAME SCOOP BACK TO THE RICE POT ON THE BUFFET AND PUT IT BACK FOR CUSTOMERS TO USE!!! FINALLY ABOUT HALF AN HOUR AFTER I FIRST NOTICED THE LOW COUNTRY PAN BASICALLY BEING EMPTY the kitchen employee pushed a cart of food out of the kitchen and filled 4 other food trays ONLY COMING OVER TO THE CRAB LEGS AND CORN VERY LAST KNOWING I WAS STANDING THERE WAITING. My "server/waitress" walked past my table 3 times without asking if I wanted a Pepsi refill. I finally got up and walked back to the waitress station and asked a waiter if I could get a refill. He said nothing. I waited 15 seconds and asked again. He mumbled something and motioned for me to get the Pepsi myself. No tipping tonight!!! The food at Hibachi Buffet at Clearwater FL is usually decent. The employees have never been very friendly, but tonight was a NEW LOW!!! Maybe Hibachi Buffet at Clearwater FL has TOO MANY CUSTOMERS and they want some to stay away!!! read more

We did have a large party and they seemed like couldn't handle it. If u have more than 4 people they automatically add tips on your bill, so watch for that. The food was good and they had lots of options to choose from. But some of us were forgot about for drinks and had to track our waitress down to ask for our drinks. When it came time the split the bill they added to many people to our bills and had to run 2 checks for someone else because they forgot some stuff. When they gave our change back none of us got the right change back either, and they didn't really know how to count it back. I had asked for my change back and she still forgot and I had to ask her several times and still didn't get the correct change back. read more

Pretty good, although they haven't had the macaroni and cheese lately, which is one of the best things I had I don't know why it's not been on their Buffet lately which is one of the reasons I went there and their salmon which lately has had something spicy on it and it didn't used to. They need to go back to the original. read more

One of the few Chinese buffets in the area. One of the few buffets of any kind left. Used to go Chopsticks, until they closed during the "pandemic" they were great. This Chinese buffet is good. Never had any issues with the food. I consider it a great choice when you want some of everything. I go at lunch and save a couple bucks. I don't know why people are rating it so low. read more
