A year ago today we were dining to our hearts content at this Hibachi & Grill Buffet. I wondered what it would be like going again. This place hasn't changed and that is a plus. Four of us got a good table and close to the bountiful of Chinese and Japanese and Mongolian and all American pleasurable tastes. Our server Michelle was busy but always ready to remove our plates. My starter is always that great hot and sour soup. Add some broccoli and green beans and ribs and shrimp and chicken and you got a plateful. Everyone goes to get their favorites like crablegs and several offerings of fresh fish. Even a more stringent vegan diet was able to fill plates of vegetables and fruits and "green" salad dishes to satisfy. More Chinese fare? No problem with long Chow Mein noodles and more chicken selections such as great scoops of the Orange Chicken. Fruit is always good and who doesn't like the usual peaches and cantaloupe and even puddings and sweet jello. There is always room for an almond cookie and self serve chocolate and vanilla icecream. We had water for drinks but it probably should have been a bubbly soda to help with all the great eats we had. Hibachi & Grill was to our liking as we know what's really good and picked our selections carefully. We would definitely come back when we are in the Lake Lanier area. read more

Been here before and the Outlaws seem to like it so we came back. I got a few items on the first pass, some decent sushi (for a buffet and mostly non-raw fish but a few raw items), some spicy jalapeño chicken, crab salad, orange something. Second pass I went for the hibachi and that was pretty darn good! Fresh veggies, some noodles (or there is rice noodles or rice), an egg and some large shrimp and cut up beef. They were out of the chicken but I didn't want it anyway. 3 sauces to pick from , I got Mongolian BBQ, along with how you want your meat and how you want your egg. While standing there I was asked if I wanted it spicy and I got some extra chili peppers added. While waiting for it to cook I caught the servers bringing out this pan that has crab legs, crawfish, corn and potatoes and got to grab a few crab clusters. Those normally go right off so I felt lucky. It's all coated in what I think is butter so it's messy to pick and clean but so tasty! Ice cream freezer was totally picked over with nothing so we didn't bother with dessert. Went to the bathroom to wash my hands after the messy crab and it was like a bomb went off in there. If those things bother you, maybe not your kind of place. I got everything I wanted. Not super cheap - looked like almost $20 a person with tax. read more

Hibachi Buffet - Lucky to get a few crab legs! They are gone in an instant if you aren't first or second. - Buffets Near Me - Gainesville, Georgia

some good food I'll give them that but wdym I can't bring my water bottle inside? are y'all good?

Came for take-out lunch the other day. It's a big place with lots of selections in different sections, also busy, with lots of customers, many obviously regulars. My husband and I agreed everything I served us was good. Since I filled the take-out trays with what we can eat well before I got to everything, we're looking forward to going back to check out selections we missed this time. read more

Despite the bad reviews I have been coming here since I was little and it is still great food me and my bf had a very nice waitress!and the atmosphere was beautiful!! read more

I DO NOT recommend this place. Over cooked, unflavored & nasty food. Clams with some kind of gel, veg rice had no flavor, chicken and beef over cooked to the point I wouldn't give it to my dog, mozzarella sticks under cooked, no labeling on the buffet itself for food id, seems like everything is frozen & not fresh. Service was little to none. Atmosphere bland and boring. read more

Good service with a multitude of choices. Service great. Price reasonable. Sushi choices were great.

Would leave no stars if I could! Walked in chose a seat, would NOT let us sit where we wanted, tried to shove us into a corner and when we said no they wanted to ARGUE! Needless to say we left. Ended up at Golden Corral, greeted with a smile, a table in the open, and plenty of food to choose from For even cheaper! AND they have Asian food here too! read more

food was okay started off good. then I ate the seafood the oyster had metal in it, salmon was raw ,chicken had no flavor and was hard. Towards the end lady forced tip on me and then snatched drink out of my hand Was very rude never dining here again. read more

I don't think I have EVER been so disrespected at a restaurant in my life. All during our meal, a woman kept snatching plates off our table, even when I was obviously using one as an empty crab leg plate. Then she came up behind me, snatched up my soup bowl and sat it in the middle of my plate of food that I was still eating. I said, "Excuse me, I'm not through with that." Then she started pestering me to get up out of my seat because more people were coming in! I'm 69 yrs old, just paid over $60 to feed 3 people, and I picked up my tea cup to finish it, when the waitress shouted, "Give me back my cup!" I said, "I'm not stealing it! I'm trying to finish my drink!" Needless to say, if I ever eat there again it will be on them. So nasty!!! read more

tried the noodles made me sick. good service though. wasn't a bad price but i also went at lunch so its cheaper obviously. it's kinda dark not gonna lie read more

Went on Father's Day expected it to be busy but on the contrary it was not.when we got thire around 3ish thire was no food left on the platers. Service was HORRIBLE!!! The server we had kept ignoring us the whole time we were thire.forced us to pay through her instead of up front like everyone else was doing. We went low on our drink many many times and many times we asked her to please refill. Like I said it wasn't busy. It came to the point were we had to ask other servers to give us refills and take our plates.once we got up to pay she had yelled and demanded a tip from my daughter.shes us 15.the server also fallowed us to the counter and was watching me insert my card and type my pin. Not once did she take her eyes of my card reader. Then she harassed us to leave a tip. We felt so uncomfortable and harassed by her and the manager didn't say one word to her. Would Recommend read more

Been coming recently and this place got a lot better. Has plenty of choices to eat and some really good seafood options. The fried crab and the mussels are my favorite! The price is reasonable and the service is quick and straightforward. Sometimes you have to ask for refills but they will make sure you get it. read more

I like the food, the bathrooms are not that clean but the food is pretty good! Nice employees, good food and a good environment. Highly recommend if your just trying to eat some Chinese food! read more

This place is genuinely run down, rude servers, horrible food, not stocked at all, the sushi chef did not restock for the hour i was there one time and he was on his phone. One of the food restockers were yelling and being extremely disrespectful. will never come back! read more

I was enjoying most of the food there but at the end when we finally got dessert my cake had mold on it. When going up to check out we told them hoping to maybe get a discount and for them to throw out the rest of that dessert but neither happened. read more

Guess I shouldn't have expected much as it was Xmas eve. We arrived in town later than planned so nearly everything was closed! I asked a local for their opinion and it was recommended so we decided to give it a shot. AWEFUL! I took my kid to the bathroon and slipped and fell because there was NO wetfloor sign anywhere and the floor was soaking wet! Apparently they use bleach because the bottom of my pants were WHITE after falling. The food was cold, stale, dry, burnt! We each only had 1 plate and left! They never brought the bill to the table so we walked up to leave, heading toward the hostess stand to inquire about where to pay, and literally 2 servers came running after us as if we were going to dine and dash. Incredible! For $50 (2 adults, 1 toddler) we should have went across the parking lot to Golden Coral instead! read more

Walked into the Golden Corral, saw the lines inside and said "nope"... then walked across the parking lot to this jewel. Its a buffet of course, with anything you want. You like to get down with General Tso? Like to fill your spoon with Crab Rangoon? You get my point... 4 stars. read more

01/10/2020 I almost gave up on this place bout 6 months ago - gave em another last chance and how lucky I was to have come in that night AND 2 days ago. Just had to see if it was a fluke ya know? Both visits: Everything was nicely stocked and fresh looking - service was with a smile and attentive to all the people around. Kudos to the service ladies on both nights. I had to cut myself short as I might have popped if I ate another bite - not even room for 1 thin mint. read more

23-10-31 20:07 I give 1 star due to bum rush service. Upon getting a 2nd plate the person on the bill named Ping approached me, handed me the bill and stated "You pay me now." I asked her to repeat that as I could not believe my ears. She repeated it, then I asked "You want me to pay, right now?" She said "Yes, now." Now please remember I had just sat down w/a 2nd plate and barely had a moment to dig in and was comfronted w/a bill. She had no idea I was planning on getting a to go box for the next days lunch. That would have been an upsell for them. It was a slow night yet the food was being put out fresh and there was nothing wrong w/anything we ate. My wife thought maybe she was clocking out for the night. I thought that might have been the reason. No, even after I paid and included her tip of course she sat in her corner watching us. She was there when we finally left. I felt a bit uncomfortable seeing her looking at us anytime I looked up. Quite the spectacle. I think maybe she was a manager and did not want me to be a food hog. As a young man I could put away a good amount of food but not now-too old for that. I also noted that she did not take my card to the cashier, she instead took it around that corner she was sitting in and seemed to ring me up there. Maybe they do it that way w/2 registers I do not know BUT I'll be keeping an eye out on my card for awhile to be sure it did not get swiped behind that corner. I normally pay at the cashier but as I stated I was still at the table when I was told "Pay me now". I have been coming here on occasion for over 15 years and have never been approached like that. I found it offensive. Like my 60 year old ass could get a good run going nowadays. It would be a funny video if I could make it out the door and run around the parking lot. For future referance to everyone here: DO NOT PAY UNTIL YOUR READY TO LEAVE. Don't forget to tip, these people have bills to pay too ya know. FINAL NOTE: For management: If the new policy is to PAY ME NOW I suggest you charge people at the door upon entering so there is no questions or worry about old people running out the door or whatever reason the Bum Rush was given. read more

This is a great buffet, the food is fresh and really yummy. The sushi is bomb , the best ! The service is nice too, the employees are very sweet and kind . We come here Sundays for lunch couple time a month. I really love their corn too. It's fresh, crunchy and really juicy . Amazing place. read more

I found a crockroac on top of the food and the guy wan to pay for while I didn't finish...it is disgusting

Terrible service!!!! I've been there twice and I will never, EVER, ever, go back to this restaurant! I was literally there for not even 10 minutes, didn't even get served water, and I was forced to pay a tip. The server came up to me asking why I wasn't leaving a tip! Terrible service, bad food, and not orderly whatsoever. Don't recommend to anyone. read more

Went in for a quick lunch on 4th of July, I visit here normally 1 or 2 times a week for lunch and it $10.50 plus drink. Got my bill today and it was $16.99 I asked the waitress when did they go up on there prices as it's still posted $10.50 on there board when you walk in. See said today is a holiday and we are charging more. Are you kidding me more for a holiday with the same food. Asked to speak with management and was told they are not there. Sorry you have lost a regular over this craziness I have never heard of not posting special prices or telling your customer that there is a difference price today before they eat. And who and your right mind charges more for a holiday your business practices are backwards. You should be thanking your customers for coming in on holiday and spending there money with you not charging them more. Craziness. read more

there was this one worker screaming in my ear saying Random stuff in her mic and yelling at m I almost dropped my food. they mixed up my Order and put pineapple in my food. read more

I am not a local I am in town for a family emergency. I don't believe this location deserves the crazy bad reviews. Service is odd but efficient. Huge selection of desserts, fruit, main dishes ,meats, I missed out on using the hibachi can believe I forgot. So we came at the end of lunch so I started seeing for dinner only signs. I was confused at first but asked and was clear you can eat the dinner only thing but pay dinner Price. Seriously cheap to eat here. Where I live most buffets are $10-$12 for lunch. This was a steak of a deal. Most of what I had was great. There was a few things that I didn't like however that wasn't because of it being gross just something I wasn't fond of. I understand this could be a hit or miss but for my visit I was super happy with the food. The shrimp soup was to spicy for me but I loved the shrimp. read more

most the foods old just about every time me and my boyfriend go one of us leaves throwing up tonight my boyfriend said something to them about wanted some of the bill knocked off because of how old and bad the food was and they called the cops on him !!! he was nice left the lady a tip and everything just wanted something knocked off since he littlery threw up in the bathroom and couldn't finish his food he even told them the aster he started eating that it was old and the lady ignored him read more

Stay away. This place adds a tip to your bill automatically, so they don't care about the service. We had eleven people in our group and they charged us for an extra drink. When we asked for it to be corrected, the waitress started yelling at us and told us that we had to pay for it. We went to talk to the manager and he was even worse. The bathrooms looked like they hadn't been cleaned all year and had no paper towels. I hate to think that the people preparing the food are using that restroom. As rude as those people are, I don't know how they stay in business. I won't be back again. read more

The food was decent but the service was terrible. I understand that servicing a big group has its pros and cons but the service for us was beyond ridiculous! After seating us, the server proceeded to give us our water which we waited patiently because we are a big group. But when we told her that we all wanted separate checks because there was 37 of us and we obviously weren't going to pay together. As a server/waitress with customer service experience, it was so unprofessional of her to express her dissatisfaction about doing the separate tickets. She tried to make us change our minds by asking us "Are you sure separate checks?" 5 times. She didn't even wait for us to finish eating and tried to rush us out of the restaurant. We recommended to go to the front and pay because it would make her life sooooo much easier if people were paying for multiple people. She proceeded to argue with us about it. After convincing the server lady, we all lined up to pay and the lady was so rude. She kept yelling across the room in her own language, and the front desk lady was super rude as well. She kept shaking her head and her and the server kept talking. Obviously they were talking about us. I personally feel like this server did not deserve our 10% gratuity that was added to our checks and their prices for dinner was ridiculous. For $10.00 at another buffet I could've gotten better service. If they were not so rude towards the end, we would've tipped more regardless of how much gratuity was already added but because of their rudeness and the way they were looking at us made me feel so unwelcome. I do not recommend the place unless you want rude service. read more

best hot and sour soup ever, also go early for lunch or early for supper just before the crowds!

Honestly worst experience of my life. I've never had such a rude waitress!! As we were going to pay after getting no service to our table the waitress yoyo had the audacity to ask for a tip before we even finished filling and signing our receipt. When I went to get change all she did was hover over me and as soon as I give her the tip she snatched it out of my hand. The food was mediocre at best down to the bloody chicken wings and the service was even worst. Never ever coming her again and I hope management works on their staff. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE waste of money for the one disgusting plate I tried. read more

It takes a man to admit he is wrong. My first two trips here were excellent. Subsequent trips have me agreeing with most other reviewers. This place is the definition of inconsistent. Although the last few visits have been more consistent, I must admit. Consistently bad! Thus, I am downgrading to two stars and will not be back for a long while. Such a shame because the first two visits were excellent. read more

Hibachi Buffet My wife and I had lunch here this past Friday - no big complaints - the food was decent (massive selection) - the price was good - the service was good. I'll come back here for lunch - you get quite a bit of food for the money. If you like sushi you will love this place - personally - I can't bring myself to try the stuff. This place is located in the Office Depot shopping center on Browns Bridge Road - where Sidney's used to be. read more

The food is very cold and gross and it's doesn't look the same the bathroom are very gross there is only toilet paper in one bathroom there is not that much soap and the people are mean the chicken is not cooked right and it smell read more

My expectations wasn't deceived, the place was clean, staff and workers were very nice and very active. I been here a couple of times, I been here when they were still called Sydney's buffet-Back then the food was terrible, I'm glad they got new owners and switch the atmosphere around. The food was okay, they're mostly Chinese workers so the Chinese food was very good. The American style food were okay, it was greasy, flavor less and wasn't so enjoyable. The seafood seem to be popular and most customers seem to enjoy it. I do recommend this place when you're hungry and need to find a cheap and decent food read more

Wow can't believe people were giving this place a four star. All I can say is In high school this was my jam I love to eat a lot and the food seemed good. But I only eat at places now that can get a half decent health score. My last visit here the score was a C. Not my style. I give it 2 because its not the worst Chinese buffet I've been to but it's certainly not the best. read more

This place was horrible..never again!! Rude manager and staff. Food was hit or miss. More miss. Tables were sticky..they got.mad when you asked to have tables cleaned off or my daughter in law asked for drinks that she had to keep asking for. Then she was clearing off the tables, rude waitress touched her shoulder with the dirty plates and got.an attitude when called on It! read more

I went in skeptical but had seen some good a d bad reviews. I went to the Gainesville, Ga location on a Sunday afternoon and the place was packed! For $11.99 there was a huge assortment of food to choose from. All of the options were filled constantly and looked fresh. I tried as many things as my belly could take and enjoyed 90% of them. I never expect buffet food to be the best in the world. Thd waitress was extremely attentive and cleared our table and brought us drink refills regularly. It is my new "go to" place for mass quantities of food. read more

we use to love this place. was highly disappointed in our experience. went on a Tues around 430pm. wasn't really busy. they weren't really replenishing much up there. there was hardly any sushi and my son said it wasn't really cold. most of the food you could tell just by looking at it it had been out for awhile and then not to mention the taste. it was about 15 for the dinner and 2 for drinks. so for just me and my teen w tax it was about $38. plus tip. for what we paid we would have been better off going to Texas roadhouse. read more

The food is okay tasting like some of it is good some of it is really bad. I'm really here to complain about the staff. Theres one lady that will watch you pay to see if you will tip and that same lady will try to rush you out. Apparently you can only be here for so long. So yeah I've been here twice but I wont be planning a third visit read more
