    The food beat my expectation, lobster, shrimp, oyster, mussels, scallops sushi, hibachi, salads and desserts. Great experience 1:30 on palm sunday $16 person, Clean bathrooms clean tables, host managed seating incredibly from small tables to large. Bravo

    A Pork filled egg roll incorrectly labeled as "Vegetable Spring Roll"

    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.

    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!

It's time for the young ones to play.....so we ordered Chinese ,...had it delivered....just finished eating and it was perfect. Mixed WonTon and Egg Drop soup, egg rolls, Pork Lo Mein , Shrimp Chow Mein, Mongolian Beef, and pork fried rice. Sounds like a lot? Well it was. We like to " taste" and always over order. The food was fabulous as always. Literally cooked to perfection. When I asked forget I no salt in our soup , that's how it was prepared.. It's a takeout restaurant , I/we think the best in Boca.

I just wanna grab something and relax at home. I picked up my phone and searched on Yelp for restaurants near me. Bamboo Wok appeared on the top of the list...ok, let's do Chinese. Located in the Westcreek Common Shopping Center, Bamboo Wok serves up a vast variety of Hunan, Szechuan, and Mandarin cuisine. Upon entering, I greeted a male employee behind the counter and placed an order for a pint of house special fried rice. The food was prepared really quickly and it was cooked to satisfaction. Filled with tender pieces of roast pork, chicken, shrimp, onions, and peas. It wasn't greasy or salty. There's a table with boxes filled with utensils, sauce packets, napkins, and fortune cookies. I helped myself to a few things before walking out. Looking forward to coming back soon whenever I'm in the area.

    YES! YES! YES! YES AGAIN!…read more My boyfriend and I had date night last Saturday, and it was our first time dining here. The staff was really nice, the restaurant was super clean, and the ingredients were fresh. I had the spicy Taiwanese soup base. My boyfriend had the Coconut Tom Yum. We enjoyed a nice selection of different meats such as pork, lamb, and beef. Seafood options include shrimp, squid, and octopus. Quail eggs, frog legs (if you're into that :), and tofu. The conveyor belt was super fun because you could watch it as it went by and pick up whatever garnishes you wanted. Green onions, mushrooms, parsley, cilantro, cauliflower ... I could go on and on. We also had dessert. My favorite is the red bean and macha ice cream! Can't wait to go back! ***ALSO order the tea***

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!
