My husband and I have been going to Hibachi Buffet for many years (since they opened in 2010). It is one of our family's favorite Chinese food buffets in Minnesota. The quality of the food is great, the servers are friendly, and the restaurant is pretty spacious. Both of our kids (ages 7 & 4) like to pick out their own ingredients for the stir-fry noodles cooked on the hibachi grill. I think the price is very reasonable for the quality of the food and the selection available. Recommend checking it out if you are looking for a great Chinese food buffet in Minneapolis! read more

He Said: I like the restaurant and I like the owners. I have been going to this place since it opened. Is it the biggest Asian buffet? No. However, this place has stayed consistent over their many years of operation, and the prices have not increased absurdly. A little-known fact is they were one of the many restaurants affected by ICE's presence, to the point where sales dropped by 70% (the owner gave me the stat). Instead of wallowing in the terrible predicament, instead they gave out many free lunch/ dinners to people in need. Kudos. Pros: - Place is clean - Enough food option variety. Consistent quality. - Great owners and staff Cons: - During construction, the place can be hard to drive to. read more

Very over priced for the quality of the food and the lack of options of food that aren't fried or very greasy. There were multiple hot items we grabbed that we realized were cold when we sat to eat. read more

WATCH THE SCALE PRICE WHEN YOU BUY TAke out!!!! This place overcharges you for no reason. Scammers and the serve old food. The wings are grey and the customer service is terrible. Do not buy this business needs to leave so a more honest business can take over. I will be reporting them to the BBB. The picture shows how much they should carge the 7.99 but they will change the price on the scale and then charge you a dollar or 2 in "taxes" their reciepts dont show why they overcharged they are very sneaky with it read more

Oh my gosh, what a delicious dining experience! I took my granddaughter Remington on a special trip to Minneapolis and this was her choice - phenomenal! The service was prompt and kind, the restaurant is spotlessly clean, and the food was delicious! read more

I went with my friend after he insisted it is good. I don't typically like buffet's. This one is clean and he food is mostly good and actually is hot when you plate it up. They have seafood- crab legs, fish, crawfish, shrimp, and more. They also have fresh made sushi, Chinese dishes like orange chicken, fried rice, lo mein noodles, rice noodles, a fresh made hibachi grill, some food more for children like pizza and fries, dessert section (the almond cookies are delicious). I just wish it was in a nicer area. read more

Positives: Good food for a buffet, friendly personnel, Negatives: higher priced buffet for options available. Sketchy neighborhood. read more

I am writing this review solely based off of ordering food to go, not on the actual buffet part. I knew going into things that there was a chance that they simply pulled the food from the buffet, but I was hoping that was not the case and that they'd actually make the food fresh. I was wrong. It was evident that the spicy General Tso's combination special ($8.25) that I ordered came directly from the buffet, as it was cold by the time that I arrived to pick it up. Food didn't taste bad at all, but if you're in the mood for FRESH food, head elsewhere. I just think that it is a bit deceiving because when you order individual items from most buffets, they will actually make them fresh for you. Unfortunately, that is not the case here. read more

Very good customer service and kind employees, normally at buffets you don't get such kind workers since other locations are normally more involved behind the scenes but everyone that works here is amazing. The food is also awesome and very good. I recommend the Mayo shrimp for shrimp lovers! The ambiance is also very nice and friendly, and it's very reasonably priced at about $20 per person for the entire buffet including the sushi bar! read more

They had hair in the birthday cake, they food was half cooked, the service was god but the food was not good.

Just by the looks of it and the area, it automatically gives you a shaking head vibe but it's actually not bad. It's a smaller buffet version of a Teppenyaki buffet. So I will say the best area of this buffet is the Sushi! It is made very beautifully and they don't use too much rice as you see in other buffets. And they make creative shapes and flavor wise is good! They offer raw rolls and fully cooked rolls. All other stuff is normal buffet foods. Something about that spinach dressed salad with mandarin oranges, I always get it and it's a nice somewhat healthy food compared to all the junk I eat there. Price is around $9/10 for lunch, can't remember but very cheap! The floors can get slippery so be careful. The servers are nice and remove your plates on time when you are finished. read more

I have no shame in loving this place- the food is fresh and hot( and if it isn't, you can tell and ask them to make fresh). I have eaten here a few times but recently discovered the to-go option- game changer! It's charged by weight, I filled my box so full I was scared it would be very expensive- it was 9 freaking bucks! If you spend $7 or more on a to-go order you get a free can of soda or tea! So awesome, and the staff are just great. I have been here when there was crab legs, those were not good but other than that I have never taken anything that I totally hated. read more

Overall everything is pretty good. Like regular other Asian Buffet place. The fried crab, and the small pne with fillings are pretty good. For dinner, it's less than $15 after taxes. read more

If you want mainstream hibachi then you are in the right place. Also delivery is fast and you know what you are getting. However, if you want something more authentic then look elsewhere. read more

I wish I could give half stars cause this place deserves a solid AND A HALF stars! This is perhaps the best hibachi buffet I've ever been to. The space is really clean, spacious and the service is friendly. I was very nervous about eating here but once I saw how clean the inside is I was at ease with the dining here. There is a nice broad selection at this establishment. There are five stations and a hibachi bar. I was impressed that the selection included baby octopus; these folks have covered all the bases. The food itself was just ok. As I've mentioned in other hibachi Buffett reviews, I suppose that it's hard for everything to be good when there is so much to make taste good. The ingredients that I had prepared over the hibachi grill were prepared well and tasted good. The value redeemed the quality of the food. The cost for two for dinner for the buffet was $25. Would I return? Yeah, but only if I was pinching pennies or didn't want the chore of having to cook. read more

Wow! It was just a pleasant surprise for me to dine there as a visitor in Minneapolis, Minnesota!! As a former resident of both Southern California, Orange County area and New York Queens borough, I was used to the HIGH PRICE LOW QUALITY kinds of food in any restaurant. But the Hibachi Buffet definately made my day and eliminated my hunger for the day)) For all you can eat lunch on a Friday afternoon, it only cost me 10.55$ before tips!! That's even cheaper than a dish in a Chinese restaurant in NYC or LA!!!!! Therefore I was very happy with it! Regarding the variety of food. Honestly speaking, it's mediocre but since it was the midwest/Minnesota, I can't have such high expectations as in California or New York. There was no soup which is a bummer. However, the "Volcano sushi" and "Hibachi sushi" were some of the best sushis I ate!!! All condiments are available to add(soy sauce, eel sauce, ginger slices, wasabi, etc). Then there's the section of the hot/cooked foods that range from American fries/fried shrimp or tempuras to baked potatoes(yam). Then Orange Chicken, green beans were all common for you to eat. The steamed Salmon was another one of my favors because like the the overcooked/hard salmon in LA(El Monte/Rosemead to be more specific), it was tender and soft whilest cooked at its finest~!! Lastly, the waitress girl was very generous, nice, and helpful too! We spoke Chinese Mandarin together. There's not a lot of Chinese(nor Asians) in Minnesota so I felt a bit surprised to know that they speak Chinese)) Thank you for this lovely unforgettable lunch~! Will be back in the future when I can! read more

The food could have been hotter but all in all it was tasty and the selection was nice. They even had pizza and ice cream and a large seafood selection. The servers were friendly and efficient. Lots of convenient parking. read more

The food has always been good here. They are also very kind; they made quite a fuss over my mother and we celebrated her birthday here several times and even made a glorious little dessert for her 97th using ice cream, chocolate, and mandarin orange slices as flower petals...free. Hearing they had been targeted during the June riots made me sad, but I'm happy to say they're back in business for lunch and dinner. I'll tell you more later. read more

Hibachi Buffet - Sushi and fresh fruit - Japanese Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I've drove by this restaurant many times, but never had a chance to try it out. Today, I was craving hibachi so finally decided to give it a try. It's an all-you-can-eat buffet including a range of desserts, fruits, sushi, soups, hot and cold foods, both American and Chinese along with a hibachi grill. Upon walking in, the host was very friendly. He asked if we had ever been here before and when we said no, he told us we could walk around and look at the food before deciding if we really wanted to eat there. Since I love hibachi, this was my first stop. I piled up noodles along with various vegetables and meats. They offer three different sauce types, but I chose Mongolian and told the chef to make the dish medium spicy. The dish actually turned out being quite spicy, but I love spice so I didn't mind at all. However, I wasn't too impressed by the sauce seasoning. Other hibachi places that I've been to have richer, more flavorful seasonings to top off their food. I also tried their sushi which I didn't think was impressive at all. The fish seemed somewhat old and just didn't taste very fresh. The clams were also very sandy and the fried shrimp and fish seemed to be more batter than the seafood itself. However, overall, they had a large selection of foods and the rest of the dishes were pretty good. I didn't think the food was amazing, but for the price that you're paying, it's sufficient. Also to mention, you can find coupons for this buffet online, but the owner says you must physically print them out rather than showing it to him on your phone. read more

After driving past this place a million times, I finally tried it. The problem was I wasn't hungry at all, I know, who goes to an all you can eat buffet when your not hungry? Well I can only blame my BF for that one. I didn't try much besides the hibachi part of the buffet which reminded me of Mongolian BBQ where you pick all your meat and veg and the guys cook it up for you on the grill. My BF on the other hand was starving so he tried everything and was in heaven. He gave it top reviews and would come here every week if he could. They really do have a large variety of stuff here from Chinese cooked dishes, all you can eat sushi, salad bar, hibachi bar and a dessert and ice cream bar. My BF really enjoyed the shrimp and the Asian desserts and many of the numerous Chinese dishes he tried. He thought the food quality was very good. The atmosphere was interesting. I believe they have just been renovated but it was a winter day and salt was all over the floor so it was hard to tell. The buffets looked new and clean but the clientele left much to be desired. That comments for you buddy, the guy who sat behind me and kept pushing me every time you slammed into the booth! If I wasn't watching my figure I'd be all over this "all you can eat place" but since the only thing healthy here was the hibachi and the fruit on the dessert bar I can't say I'd be a regular but I'll be back on a day that I'm cheating on the diet! read more

We were downtown because our daughter is in the hospital. We choose this place because it's a buffet and had decent reviews. Well that sucked... quantity over quality is the name of the game here. Tried two dishes at the hibachi grill, both looked wonderful but had zero flavor. Had to add more salt and soy sauce than I'm comfortable admitting. Food on the buffet was plentiful but bland and odd. The teriyaki chicken was more liked grilled rosemary chicken. Orange chicken was very slimy and tasted like the stuff you buy in the freezer from Walmart. Wife said the fried rice was pretty good though. That's worth one star. And I'll give it one star because the fried bread(donut) was decent. Won't be back. Do not recommend. read more

Hibachi is a mid-market Chinese buffet. I love authentic Chinese cuisine, but there are days when I crave to indulge in some Americanized versions of my beloved dishes. The buffet is affordable (think $12 for dinner - lunch is much more cheaper) and there is a wide range of dishes ranging from the salmon filet, spicy chicken, buffalo chicken, to a mediocre sushi selection (which is still pretty good!). The buffet offers everything to provide the breadth of options to meet the needs of most individuals. The staff is very friendly and attentive to your needs and concerns. This made the experience pleasant as typically buffets operate on more of an "up and out" mentality (a joke for any consultants reading this). Our host drew up conversations and even cracked jokes to help make the dining experience lively and memorable. From an interior perspective, the dining space is spacious, has good lighting, and fairly clean and organized. This is somewhat important as a clean eating area means the kitchen should be clean as well. Overall, this is a good buffet that gets the job done for those craving a once-in-a-while AYE extravaganza. There are better buffets, but this one still is decent when looking at only the Minneapolis region. With that, I will be sure to hit it up in the near future. read more

Nice staff and good value! It's pretty cool that they do sushi, too. I'm not a sushi connoisseur by any means but I thought it was good!

Small crab legs, nice variety of Chinese though. Hibachi grill. Fresh sushi. But cleanliness of the tables and cups... not the best. You can tell they just wipe around the salt and pepper shakers and don't pick them up and wipe underneath. Service was good, refills were quick. Cleaned up our plates. Lines were quick. read more

Skip this place if you're looking for tasteful, warm food. Staff was friendly, but the food was lukewarm at best. In the time it took me to put it on my plate, walk back to my seat and it, it was already cold. And the quality of the food? Bland. If you want to fill your stomach for cheap go here. If you're looking for good food, find somewhere else. read more

Went here on a Monday and food was very delicious! Had a wide selection of different food. Each dish was very flavorful

This buffet goes slightly above what you would expect for a $10 chinese ayce lunch buffet. The overall selection is good and has decent depth. The sushi selection was okay nothing too special. The orange chicken was on point, as well as the egg rolls. The General Tso's chicken retained a nice crunch although it was coated with lots of sweet sauce. I really enjoyed the panko crusted fried butterfly shrimp, which I seldom see at these types of buffets. As for the fried scallop, that was a let down. The buffet line itself was well maintained and the service was friendly and efficient. PS: They have a soft serve ice cream machine and HDTVs. read more

Second time to this place. For bang for the buck, all you can eat, it is pretty good. Location is a little sketchy, but I've seen worse. Sushi is included in the buffet, just rolls, and nothing spectacular but at 11 bucks AYCE who can complain? The non-sushi Chinese items are pretty good as well. They have crab legs which come out every 40 minutes, limit 4 per person. If you are not there at the moment they drop (I never was), you are SOL. Serious vultures at this place. read more

They have a large selection of food a lot of variety and when we went on a Sunday night it was packed for dinner which is guaranteed that the food is fresh and always coming out. PLUS they serve beer which many asian buffets don't that was a first I've ever seen in MN to offer alcohol at a buffet. One thing I noticed was that though they did offer sole fish and crab legs they didn't bring it out often enough because every time I walked back up to the counters the trays were always empty which defeats the purpose of paying the extra pricing they have on Sundays for no crab legs. They offer sushi and while I was there always had plenty. I love the fact that they offer spicy mayo and eel sauce on the side with sauce cups for everyone to devour up for themselves. Overall great deal for a buffet with lots of fresh foods. Only reason why I took off a star to not be a fan is the fact after two plates I started to feel extremely thirsty and tired two signs of usage of MSG. This isn't going to scare me away from the place because I will give it a second try to see if I'm able to give them the extra star. read more

Kings buffet used to be my #1, but after coming here they will have to relinquish the crown. $8 lunch with fresh made sushi. I can dig that. $10 dinner: more sushi to choose from, crab legs, mussels, shrimp galore. I can also dig that. They have so much food to choose from. I guarantee you will be to full to actually try everything. For buffet food it is pretty damn good. I love the Japanese chicken. To bring back my childhood memories, they make actuall crab wontons like in good ol' St. Louis MO. When I first moved to MN over a decade ago I was really sad to find out that most places up here serve plain cream cheese wontons. Hibacih is no comparison to St. Louis wontons, but they get close. Service is typical for buffets, they just take your dishes and fill your drinks. I just wish they would wait until I have left before they take the tip from my table and not linger around waiting for me to sign my slip. I find this a little tacky and rude. read more
