Full disclosure: this is our first buffet experience since COVID, so we may be a bit guarded and conservative in our review. The strength: Friendly staff. A senior discount. Beautifully-presented food with considerable variety. Ample meat-based, seafood and vegetarian selections. Attentive service from staff to pick up plates and clean tables. Lots of seating. A great, fun hibachi station where raw meats and veggies are grilled to perfection before our appreciative eyes. Drawbacks: individual items are not as warm/hot as would be ideal. The $21-23 per person weekend rate is steep if you are not someone who eats a ton of food at one sitting. Complaint: Most importantly (and maybe TMI)..... all 3 seniors in our party had almost immediate GI distress after our meals . No stomach pain but an urgent need to void. I'm ambivalent with the number of stars but can't go over 3 due to the last complaint. Don't think we will return. read more

Hibachi Grill Buffet - Highlight, choosing our own raw ingredients and watching them grilled up with spices we specified. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Riverside, California

The food was really bad. Sad to see the quality of their food has gone down. Why can't they maintain the taste so they get more customers.

I used to enjoy coming to this hibachi grill, but sadly, the quality has gone way downhill. The food tasted bland and artificial. The noodles, which used to be a highlight, now look overly orange and taste cheap and fake. Most of the food seemed like it was frozen and reheated especially the pizza, chicken nuggets, The crab legs were overcooked and rubbery, and the salmon looked off and tasted just as weird. Some of the meat was not cooked properly.... The only thing I somewhat enjoyed was the shrimp, and even that needed Sriracha to be decent. Worse than the food was the aftermath--it made my stomach hurt. I couldn't even use the bathroom because they were absolutely filthy. No toilet paper, puddles of urine on the floor, no working so anybody can just walk in on you.., and it smelled horrible. On top of that, the area where I was seated smelled like sewage, which made eating even more uncomfortable. This place used to hit, but now it's just disappointing. Definitely not what it used to be read more

Pretty good, staff was normal, i liked how hot and fresh tasting the food was. The area is alright, but thafs just how corona is

great food, even better variety, inexpensive per person, and the place was really clean and nice. Friendly staff and when I walked in they won me over with the slightly dimmed lights and calm music. read more

I first went here over 10 years ago and the food was great! I went again last weekend and I was completely disappointed. I did go on a weekday so I'm assuming that's the reason for the very limited choices. Payment is upfront at the entrance, otherwise we would have left as soon as we took a look at the food. We paid like $16 a person for lunch with a drink. The fried shrimp were room temp and had black spots. The sushi selection was all a form of California rolls ( no fish). The egg drop soup had a green tinge to it. And to top it off we found a hair on the spicy chicken. The hibachi food lacked good flavor compared to other buffets. The veggie dishes were pretty good and fresh. The service was umm...different, it's self serve drinks and self seating. Definitely not coming back despite the $20 off next visit for the hair in the food. read more

Hibachi Grill Buffet - Green Egg drop soup - Sushi Bars Near Me - Riverside, California

Honestly, this place has gone downhill. Food selection is VERY limited and filled with very low grade cheap eats. You'll find frozen pizza, nuggets, stale fries, gyozas that are too hard to eat, fried breaded items, and Chinese food (broccoli beef, chow mein noodles, and fried rice). To think coconut shrimp is a "dinner" item, is a but crazy to me. Yes, they do empty your plates one by one to check for any wasted food to charge you. This is a buffet not an AYCE high quality sushi or KBBQ place, so it happens and they should know what comes with running this type of establishment. Especially if the food is rock hard stale or rancid (like the sushi), please refuse to pay for any extra charges! You're in the right to do so, especially since they charge you first. read more

Updating my review after years has gone by Food is bland Price too high for what they serve. Overall, go here if you want cheap options read more

We used to be regular customers for years, but the last couple of times we went to Hibachi we were very disappointed. It seems that it was going down the road of all failing buffets - food quality/freshness declines, less people come, food quality gets worse, fewer people come, and on and on. The last time my husband and I both said "that's the last time we eat here." When we drive by I expect to see that the place is closed. Now I see they are under new management and I am hoping that some of the problems have been addressed. I'd rather see fewer trays of hot fresh food than many trays of half filled crusty food. Same with the soup - less than half filled soup pans holding crusty soup is just not appetizing. The bathrooms at this location have always been a BIG mess, and this is something that can be easily corrected. Also, why is it impossible to find the latest pricing information?? Were the prices changed by the new management? On the plus side, the layout is good and the service was always friendly and efficient. I'll watch the reviews to see if people report improvements - I hope they do because we miss eating at this place and we would like to return. read more

Love this place. It's a hit and miss with their seafood, meaning sometimes they overcook the crab legs and shrimp, but overall one of my favorite buffets read more

Came here after the boy's surgery today. Been looking at all the food options in the area the last 3 days. It was either Flaming Buffet, Koreana Grill, Yoshinoya, or Hibachi Grill Buffet. First off, the name is very misleading. During LUNCH TIME there is no Hibachi steak!! The Hibachi Steak is for DINNER only. However, they do have a Mongolian bbq, where you choose your meats and veggies, and they grill it for you. They really do have a very big selection of various items, you can't go wrong w that!! The chicken wings were good. Beef and broccoli was good, chow mein and fried rice was good too. Soups were legit. They had a good selection of sushi rolls and I was surprised that they had an all veggie kimbap!! Lots of fruits and desserts to choose from so that was great too!! The drink is included w the price so that is a big plus!!! They have a lot of seating and the middle part was under construction. Temperature though, was very hot in there!!! Please turn your AC up!! It was unbearably hot and the temperature was not comfortable. Service was great!! One of the servers was very helpful, friendly and happy. I wish I'd tried their steak!! Guess I will have to come back here one of these days and try their hibachi steaks. Not bad for a $15 lunch though, can't go wrong w that. Sorry I didn't get to take pictures bc I was uncomfortably hot and also bc we were in a hurry since the boy was not feeling well and had just gotten out of surgery. Maybe next time I will have pictures to share. read more

Service is always with a smile. I come frequently because the kids can never agree on the type of food they want. Each time we come, our favorites are usually here plus switch up the sides to keep the variety fresh. They get a bit busy and you can tell by parking. But there's plenty of space! read more

You won't regret going to this hibachi. Buffet, they have a good variety . The service has always been great here. Because the waitresses ask you continuously. If there's anything that you need in case you need help. This establishment has also shown me cleaning as which give me trust to continue coming to this location. read more

Food quality was not good at all. Brought my family to this place hoping it's good but we left with stomach pain.

I end up taking my young daughter here all the time on weeknights. It's not crowded, and we get there on time to pick what we want. The food here is consistently tasty. Don't expect King Crab legs for the reasonable price. The Mongolian bbq station is pretty complete with meat and seafood options and fresh veggies. I love the fried chicken if I catch a fresh batch. The walnut shrimp is fine. Free fountain sodas. The staff is nice as well. I appreciate this place for what it is. If it were extremely crowded, I would not come but I love it off peak hours. read more

I went this Wednesday, July 24,2024 And let me tell you. All the cream cheese products I consumed tasted rancid. The best way to describe it would be sour milk :( The salmon had the same flavor... read more

I don't know what happened to my old review but I left it close to the time this place opened up- solid 4 stars at that time. It's totally gone downhill now. A couple years ago I thought I got food poisoning from this place from undercooked shrimp (tail on one was still gray) but I wasn't positive that was from here so I gave it another chance today. The one item I really wanted - calamari - is no longer there. The coconut shrimp is still decent but the serving spoon burned my hand when I went to serve myself. Broccoli beef is okay. The fries were honestly the best tasting thing here. The spicy chicken was undercooked (meat still pink) and the mongolian grill options looked like a total health hazard - the chicken sitting out was completely thawed and room temp. Some of the little cakes I used to get for dessert aren't here anymore but they do have these little two bite cheesecakes that are nice. I'm just praying I don't get sick. Most likely never coming back. read more

If you're looking for an Inexpensive Chinese, Sushi, American, Mongolian Grill/Buffet for $26.00 for Dinner this place does the trick. It gets really busy during Dinner so the Turn Around is Great. When visiting Family, We usually go for the Sashimi, Sushi, Crab Legs ( only offer during the weekends) and Mongolian Grill with Steak. They have lots of Chinese Choices but I can get that is SF. read more

This is a decent place, tucked away behind the Galleria Tyler Mall and it the selection ain't that bad. The food stuffs and taste were pretty delicious - they had Mongolian BBQ and sushi and tons of fish and crab. Pure bliss for a poor and hungry soul! I really loved the Mongolian beef and the fact that you can actually get a full on sirloin steak with the BBQ order. Plenty of soft drinks, tons of fruits and desserts Overall not so bad, I would recommend that you pay attention to what you're grabbing and make sure to check for bones in some items. read more

This place completely went downhill. The lady at the front desk on 7/9/22 around 4:30 was so rude. The orange chicken was cold, teriyaki chicken was fatty, spicy chicken had bones, the crab was black and the lady on the hibachi grill made my steak into beef Jerky. Very disappointed that they did not have any dessert bar, no more ice cream and no cream cheese wontons. Definitely won't be returning read more

good selection of food and hibachi grill. Drinks also included which is a plus. Love that they have sashimi salmon and tuna!!!!! yum. just wished they had more dessert .. wish they still had ice cream like before read more

Food looked like it could kill some one. A lot of it seemed like you could get sick. I was too worried to even try most of the food. All of it was stored at the wrong temperature so I knew it couldn't be good to eat. The bottom of their salmon was grey?? Do not go here unless you want to get food poisoning read more

For a buffet, it met all requirements. It had a wide variety, the food was delicious, and most importantly everything was clean. The workers were constantly coming out to wipe down tables and take plates. For its price I was pleasantly surprised. read more

Hibachi Grill Buffet - Pricing - Sushi Bars Near Me - Riverside, California

The food here is horrible, and taste old. I wasted a lot of money for bare minimum choices. The food does not tastes fresh at all. And the African American lady is rude not friendly at all. Don't waste your money here it's gross I should have know it wasn't going to be good when I walked in and it was lunch hour and empty. I would give it a lesser star but they didn't have one. Please don't waste your money it's honestly disgusting. read more

the price is to hight and charging me to much tips for no reason but they have good food and delicious but the price it not good

I always love when the Romeos return to the hibachi grill, they have pretty fresh sushi! My brothers love to come here for the variety of meats, salads and Korean style stirfry. They also love the fresh ice cream. I come for the sushi. There's usually a substantial variety of fish and of course, it's all you can eat. The Asian influenced dishes are all good and they have American and Italian as well. With the senior discount lunch is really a great value. Quality-4 Food-4 Value-5 read more

20 bucks for weekend dinners all you can eat. Plenty of choices including sushi and a grill. Not too busy and everything was plentiful.

It's very hot & stuffy inside, there's no air conditioning on only fans on wall, the bathroom sink is clogged & filled with water & food is sub par at most read more

Service was very good. Food mediocre at best. The Hibachi meat was tough. Sushi rolls rarely contain any fish and have no taste whatsoever. All other chicken (orange, honey .. wings) didn't taste that well read more

First time here. Looked for a lunch buffet near my Dr office and found it Buffet is Asian oriented and has a large selection and variety of food. From seafood to pizza including variety of chicken, pork and beef. Veggies galore as well as variety of fruit . Dessert consists of French cake and Asian apple pie. read more

Not a good place, just go somewhere else. The food is old and nasty and the people that work there don't even know the correct rules to handle food read more

They do not clean their bathrooms at all, the doors were extremely dirty and the dirt/grease on the doors were THICK as if no one has cleaned them in weeks. Food was basic, anything you can get at a Chinese spot they have here, nothing extravagant, OVER PRICED for sure for what they serve.. take the reviews into consideration and save your money and take it elsewhere. Service was fine, they hardly talk to you just like any buffet other than grab your empty plates. read more

The food was alright to be honest, but I have a great time, the hibachi was really good

Food is very good. However, there is no A/C.. so we could not enjoy our meal. I got so nauseous I almost vomit. It's too hot and musty inside. Payed about $20 per lunch plate. Very sad. Last time we came in winter it was nicer temperatures inside. More enjoyable. read more

The food was ok. At the BBQ grill, all the meats were completely thawed sitting there; I would prefer to pick the slightly thin shaved frozen meats. The sitting booths cushion needed to be replaced; there were some ripped/cracked leather cushions there. I had to cover a few napkins on my seat before I sit on. Good service just need to hire a few more workers to clear tables. read more

Good food for the price. No frills but it was clean. Upholstery sure can be updated, many holes in the seats. But food and service were good. read more
