I've come here a couple times now whenever I'm visiting family that lives in town. The parking is kind of a pain because there's multiple restaurants and the signs are pretty confusing, and limited parking. This is a pretty standard Chinese buffet so they have all the different Chinese buffet items you can think of. The restaurant is clean and the workers are attentive. This is a quick and easy dinner you can get with friends and family. read more

On a recent evening after a hard day at work, I selected a buffet item that was labeled as a spring vegetable roll. After taking a bite, I immediately realized it contained pork, which was not disclosed anywhere. I am of the Jewish based faith background, and eating pork violates my religious dietary restrictions, so this was not a minor mistake for me. I notified staff and management right away. Instead of taking accountability, the label identifying the item was removed from the buffet, and management refused to offer a reasonable resolution. Being told to accept this without a meaningful apology or genuine effort to resolve for religious reasons felt dismissive and inappropriate. With a buffet, customers rely entirely on signage to make informed choices. When food is mislabeled, especially when it involves pork, it creates serious trust issues for anyone with dietary restrictions, whether religious or medical. Additionally, much of the buffet food appeared lukewarm rather than hot, with some items having a slimy texture and very little flavor. While I can only speak to my personal experience, the food often seemed like it had been sitting out for a while rather than freshly prepared. The way this was handled left a very bad impression. I would urge anyone with dietary restrictions to be extremely cautious here, as accurate labeling does not seem to be taken seriously. read more

Ichiban Buffet - A Pork filled egg roll incorrectly labeled as "Vegetable Spring Roll" - Buffets Near Me - Deerfield Beach, Florida

I usually don't write reviews, but this place deserves one. Ichiban Buffet was a complete disappointment from start to finish. The food looked like it had been sitting out all day -- dry, cold, and tasteless. The sushi was rubbery, the seafood had a weird smell, and even the rice was hard. Nothing felt fresh. The service wasn't any better. Staff walked right past empty plates without clearing them, and when we asked for help, we got an attitude. Drinks took forever to refill, and when they finally came, the soda was flat. On top of that, the place just felt dirty. Tables were sticky, the floors looked like they hadn't been mopped, and the bathroom was awful. For the price they charge, you'd expect at least edible food and basic cleanliness -- but you don't get either here. Save your money and go literally anywhere else. Ichiban Buffet is one and done for me. read more

I'm going to post this review with the caveat that you kind of have to know what to expect when you are paying $17 per person for dinner all you can eat. You get what you pay for. There are great all you can eat places for more money and the quality for it will show. This is not a vegas level all you can eat buffet. It's cheap Chinese. If you want to get full and have a variety of foods of medium quality, this is it. They have a variety of foods here and a hibachi worker too. He was moving a little slow for my liking, but it's there. The servers are quick and good about taking plates up and refilling waters. I've only been here once and they were hovering over me when I signed the check to make sure what I tipped. It was kind of annoying and rude, but I also understand Chinese culture and the Chinese restaurant industry, which is they don't think it's rude. Still annoying anyhow. The place looks as you would think it looks, which is a Chinese buffet with three rows of food. Mostly Chinese food. A lot of the stuff is mislabeled, so if you are a person with dietary restrictions, this might not work out so well. If you don't care, like myself you'll be okay. They have a dessert bar with fruit, salad station, and "American" fare food. The food was stocked up pretty often and I got there around 7 so they were stocking up well into after 8. I do have to say the dim sum dishes were my favorite. Would probably go back here. read more

Ok so this place is awesome considering the price for a buffet !!!! It was about $16 a person. The food options were plenty !!!!!! And even the dessert side had great options the coffee ice cream so delicious!!! The service was great she cleaned our table fast and was on top of drink refills. The parking is a little hard when it's packed there is a lot going on in that plaza . The best part is the hibachi part you pick what you want from the bar and bring it to the grill for them to cook right there so like I said for 16$ a person what a great deal. The food was good too!!!! No complaints and definitely try the custard bun it's delicious read more

I would not recommend this place, especially if you're looking for sushi! The food did not taste good. The sushi all had an orangish and red paste, which was disgusting and non of the staff could tell me what it was. My closest guess would be some kind of chicken turned into a paste. The labels on the buffet were all mixed up and the staff was unable to answer any questions. Definitely a place to avoid if you have any dietary restrictions!! read more

Great food the price good tuna sushi great variety shrimps and very clean I'm coming twice a week at lunch and has a variety of food read more

Not the best Asian buffet, but it has the basics, and a reasonable amount of various types of sushi. All you can eat, and probably about half the price of most other Asian buffets. Not as good as the others, but Definitely a good deal for the price. I'll be back. read more

Ichiban Buffet - Delicious! - Buffets Near Me - Deerfield Beach, Florida

Clean dining room and buffet. I'm not wild about their traditional Chinese dishes but the selection is so plentiful you will fill up. The Chinese ribs, chicken wings, appetizers, soups, etc are very good. They have several broiled fishes. Plus a sushi bar and Mongolian grill. You will eat like a glutton for $15.50. read more

Because I can't give -5. To begin this review let me start with saying that my family & I would frequent this Buffet monthly for almost a whole year. This review came from my most recent experience at this establishment and is the sole reason why I will never return. To begin, we all came to have lunch during the Buffets lunch hour. Like most buffets they have a lunch menu and pricing and a separate one for dinner. We are and enjoyed our food as per usual despite the lackluster service this place is known for. But we didn't care, we truly loved the cuisine to the point I have recommended this place to friends and family. We approach the end of our visit when we noticed a Dinner pricing on our bill. My wife decided to go and ask the front desk for assistance. It was shortly after she comes and tells me about her encounter and how this man had scolded her for "eating the dinner food" which could not have been possible since were conscious of our lunch budget for the afternoon. She proceeded to tell me on how he waved his hand near her face in a disrespectful manner, and told her "I don't want you to ever comeback again" So after hearing her experience I decided to hear more context and have a open conversation with this said gentleman but was little did I know how far he was from any kind of gentleman. He went in to say how infuriated he was for her asking to change the price despite her eating "dinner food" which I told this person that even for the benefit of the doubt and for a moment said that if he was even right, exactly how did he think telling her to never comeback despite knowing our frequency to the establishment was in any way to talk to a person. Let alone a lady. So I continued questioning the man to only have him make disrespectful remarks, snickering while I spoke to him. Going as far to tell me that I wasn't his teacher so to not try and teach him anything but he most certainly needed to be taught some damn manners. An appropriate response would have been to ask us to please not make "this mistake again" and proceeded accordingly. But he decided that disrespecting my wife, myself, and our family unit was more important than resolving a minor conflict... You can count me out. If you care about your peace of mind don't go to this place. You'll get below standard service and who knows what guy yelling at you or your loved ones. What a waste of time, money, and effort. read more

This place is immaculate when it comes to variety and selection of sushi. The quality of food is superior. The fish is fresh and always fully stocked. The buffet staff are on point and attentive. The restaurant has a very intimate feel to it and we'll spaced. However my only issue with them is that not all staff are attentive. I understand it gets busy but at least just listen to what I'm saying before walking away. There is also a bit of a language barrier there so I understand that too. The food stations are clean and presentable but our table had a fruit fly around, which means they only clean the table with a wet cloth soaked from water and not solution. Other than that I would highly recommend this place. read more

Excellent buffet. Food so fresh and price is so right. They do it next level here And soo very clean read more

Ichiban Buffet - Sushi platter. - Buffets Near Me - Deerfield Beach, Florida

Quite choices of food a lot of seafood sushi all fresh and very very clean. Recommended all the time, I go there all the time.At least two times a week. I usually take out. What I like best is all the food is fresh and it's very clean that you don't see any old food or half eaten bones all over. It's wonderful if something's empty. They're very quick to replace it with fresh stuff. read more

The food was edible, but not necessarily enjoyable. You can't beat a $10 lunch with a huge selection of food. A little outdated as well. I felt like I was going to a buffet from the 90s or early 2000s. I would recommend that they have less food options but with higher quality. I was afraid to eat the sushi and again the food was just edible and filling. read more

Inside looked clean and nice. I had so much to say about their rudeness and shamefully mislabeled items. I don't eat pork, and they treated me very badly because I asked what the items were. I dont like to play a victim role or racial card, but I also don't like being calm when people are rude to me, and I'm being respectful and calm. I left a long review on the other review app, " TripAdvisor" because no other place has upset more than this place in a very, very long time. All because they mislabeled dam near all the dishes that contained pork. I can't bring myself to trust anything in this place. I fear there are other issues with their prep or even cross-contamination. I will never set foot in this place again. read more

I went to this place with a friend...I'm not a big buffet guy because sometimes the food is not good or is not replaced so it's fresh. Something was off when I went. I couldn't find some plastic to put on my hand so I don't get germs of the 1000 people who touched the serving device I e a large spoon before 1 pm. Because of this I got only Turkey and cucumber salad. The turkey was dried out like it had been reheated a few times.. But the tea was good. .I'm a glutton sometimes so I'll be back FYI lunch buffet $15 and change read more

First time visit today. Food was surprisingly good. Great deal for lunch, many choices. Sushi was limited , not as good. Wait staff very attentive, to the point of being annoying. I will give it another try. read more

I've been to this place twice once with a large party and once I sat at the bar as a party of two both times, I enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. The sushi and seafood is always fresh and I go there particularly for the all you can eat crab legs! The services I has always been great! read more

Food was okay. But the servers of you can call them that hustle you out for tips. They force you to tip them for taking the plate off your table. It's self serve on top of it so they aren't doing much for you anyways. I work in the food industry and god forbid I saw a staff member harassing guest over a tip and standing at the shoulder to make sure a tip is left. Smh. read more

This is what a sushi lover's dreams are made of..... endless seafood and delightful desserts! It has gotten busier since our earlier visit. The best night is Thurs. Prices are a little less and there is no wait for a table. They provide plastic gloves for the buffet and everyone has to mask up before approaching the counters. My favorites are the crab legs and ceviche cups....yum! And, creme brulee desserts!! If you still have room after the hot and cold selections, swing by the hibachi station for a personal creation. read more

Great food awesome price! Thought the quality was very good fresh and delicious definitely worth it Recommended to friends and they loved it too read more

The fact that they will chase you for a tip is crazy, and it's not like these server's do anything but seat you and fetch soda. They try to embarrass you and guilt you into changing tips They actually tried to take my whole 50$ I had to ask for my change back and that's when the chasing began. It's funny in a way but also embarrassing read more

After trying to go to a few other restaurants and striking out due to too long wait times or not being able to get parking I ended up here. I actually meant to go to a different buffet but I mixed up the names which is why we arrived here. I had my reservations after seeing the torn up facade but by that time we were tired of driving around and really hungry. I felt better when I saw the interior. There is a rock formation at the entrance. We sat at a booth and there were pretty Japanese prints on the wall. The restaurant looked clean. The good thing about a buffet is you can eat right away and this one is inexpensive. It was only $9.99 for diner and lunch is even cheaper, only $6.50. Based on the price point the buffet was what I expected to find. Sushi, dim sum, a lot of fried chicken dishes, fish, peel and eat shrimp, a dried out hunk of some beef swimming in grease, soup, salad, green beans, and some items you don't expect to find at an Asian buffet like apple pie. Dessert was ice cream, fruit, flan, almond cookies, and small pieces of cake. Food quality ranged from decent to poor. They have a hibachi and a bar where you can pick protein and vegetables to be cooked for you but I never saw anyone manning the station the whole time I was there. I think my daughter enjoyed our visit here more than I did but she is a starving college student. Still I found enough to nibble on to get my $10 worth. You can't barely get out of McDonalds for $10 these days. If you are looking for quantity over quality than you can definitely get an inexpensive meal here. I just didn't find the food memorable enough to want to rush back. read more

The wait staff is nasty, a 20% tip for a buffet is thrown back at you as not enough. Then if you complain to the manager he says ( actually did this to us ), he said get the ( F Bomb word used ) out of my restaurant. Needless to say none of us would ver go back and the food is just mediocre anyway. Stay away from this place, very nasty and do not deserve your money. There are way better places to go to for good Asian food. read more

Although the reviews are bad, I'm sorry that happened to them but I had a different experience. I enjoy my time at the restaurant. The staffs were friendly, the music was soft and comfortable. I liked the way the restaurant was designed, it family friendly. The food was alright, not really wow for me. But overall the service was great. I will definitely recommend this restaurant. Thank you for your service read more

I was really impressed because I don't do "buffets" But holiday woes and making a dollar stretch was my goal. I went to this buffet 6 years ago for lunch and I do what every one does, regrets it. So I never went back. Fast forward 6-7 years..... My family and I went on a Sat evening 12/12 around 5:30 and All the food was actually good, the Hibachi was delicious, although I think the Teriyaki sauce needs to be thicker, it was a bit water down, but flavor was really good. Everything was fresh, Im not kidding, even their string beans had a nice bite to it, Their staff was on point and getting everything moving so it doesn't dry out, the food was moving quite well. Even the Sushi was decent, its not you know dragon roll style but you can create your own if your smart . I'm telling you I don't do buffets because its so below quality from experiences, but maybe it was the staff on that day, maybe its like this all the time. Affordable, Worth it read more

Food was terrible! Cold and flavorless. The waitress was staring at me and suggested the max tip while hovering over me. Extremely unprofessional, would not recommend. read more

Excellent and just had dim sum and hot and sour soup. You can get your money worth because they have something for everyone. Enjoy!

I've been a couple of times. Food is subpar. Flavorless. Today la cucaracha came to visit me at my table. One walked out on the table. Smacked him and then another walked up the wall. Waitress grabbed that one with a napkin. Needless to say I won't be back. I know they are there but I just don't want to see them. And I don't want them trying to steal my food read more

Came for lunch. Food is good, plenty to choose from, we had the hamachi, fresh seafood and good sushi and great value...
