    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.

    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

    Delicious!

    I love sushi! The many options I found here were very satisfying. Service is great and all looks very clean.

    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.

They removed the plates as necessary and checked on us to make sure we were happy with everything. The waiter informed us there was gratuity added on our bill because of the size of our group. Most restaurants wouldn't inform the customers about that and a lot of people would add an additional tip by mistake without thinking about it. All of us had a great time for lunch!

This place offers a set price for Hot pot and is buffets style as well as conveyor belt delivery for veggies; you just swipe what you want. You start by picking a soup of choice and then you gather the food you need, cook it yourself in the pot and there are instructions and available on the wall for cooking times. It's relatively straightforward. Be careful with how much you grab as they will charge you for any excessive leftovers. I got the tom kha and my fiance got the tom yum. He found his soup to be a little on the lemony side for his taste but I think that's just a preference not a reflection of the quality of the soup. I loved my coconutty tom kha. Our waiter showed us how to operate the dial and gave us information about cooking time recommendation. We ordered some hot tea and had a wonderful time. The buffet appeared to be clean and the food fresh and well kept. I tried a variety of meat as well as seafood. The shrimp had a little bit of a previously frozen kind of taste but the scallops were excellent. I think in the end I'm not a big fan of the red meat even though it cooks quickly and tastes fine I just think preference wise I more so enjoyed loading up on the vegetables and noodles. The best thing I had there was the gyoza, so freaking good, highly recommend. It is worth noting that my fiance love the meat, so the great thing about this place is the variety and how multiple people can sit down and enjoy what they like, together. Drop by!

Normally, this would feel as though it would be sufficient to serve a restaurant customers who are eating the unlimited stake and meat meal. However, within the first 30 minutes, one gentleman came over and offered me two silver dollar sized pieces of meat and then came back later with grilled pineapple. I watched one of the servers continually skip over our table. It almost felt purposeful, however, I can't prove one way or the other. Either way, the servers are wearing headsets and you can hear them telling the server at least four times to come to our table. He did not come until I stopped him as he walked past me when I said, " excuse me I'd like some meat." he seemed to have been caught off guard. That was the straw that broke the camels back. I immediately asked for a check and wanted to get out of there. I don't expect the place to last long. Ambience: not worth mentioning. This place has a lot to learn in terms of service and food quality.
