Service was good, attentive. We took bites of our food, nothing was appetising. Appetizers were cold, fried rice was lacking flavour, the only taste was of soy sauce and grease. Again. Good service, possibly good drinks, but the food is deplorable. read more

This is a great place go to with friends. Not a fan of the buffet (soggy Peking ravioli), but the dinners are good, and Hibachi is fun. The chefs are quite entertaining! read more

NEVER AGAIN! Bday party for Dad at the Hibachi. Had 15 people and spent over $800. Right from the start the waitresses were rude and pushy and mad we only 12 were eating. The chefs were great! The waitresses continued to be bitchy and rude. Have NO idea why. End of the meal we paid and tipped well based considering the service. Most of us went home but a few wanted one last drink before we left since we hadn't seen each other in months. The bartender was told by the waitress not to serve us. The Most any one person had was 2 and we were there for 2 hours! They said that my sister couldn't have a drink but the rest could . She tipped $200 alone!!! Nobody had been over served and made our party feel miserable! We walked out and will NEVER BE THERE AGAIN! Been there many times and spent quite a bit! NEVER AGAIN! Beyond rude and for no reason! read more

IF YOU ARE BLACK DO NOT STOP HERE please do not stop here!! They purposely seated my small party in the back away from where everyone was sitting. The waitress was incredibly rude and pushy and tried to bring us a dirty plate and literally picked stuck on food off of it and thought we wouldn't notice. The food was ok but when the bill came they "automatically" added the tip to the bill and also added a gratuity charge. We we're a party of four.... The service was awful and they automatically charged us $40 in fees because they assumed black people wouldn't tip. Also if you get just water there be warned because there was definitely cleaner in my water read more

I ordered the rainbow maki and seafood noodle soup. Maki was fine. The seafood soup was an egg based soup. I do not eat eggs, the menu had no mention of egg in their seafood soup. Unacceptable. I went all they home to find out the seafood soup is really egg soup with seafood in it. Gross. Please, specify allergens on the menu. It's 2019! read more

Strange place! First time here and went for the hibachi dinner with a group of friends. We met in the bar ahead of our reservation, the bartender wasn't the friendliest guy around, he seemed bothered to get drinks for everyone. Overpriced drinks that we overpaid for and then tipped Mr. Miyagi on top of that. The food was pretty good but they charge extra for fried rice as part of the hibachi dinner which I found bizarre. After we finished and paid the waitress came back and told us we didn't tip enough, after some light arguing back and forth she wasn't going to accept only 20% so we tipped even more to get crazy waitress just to go away. By then it was more than a 30% tip. Not a huge deal since she probably wanted to buy some of the special upcharge fried rice for herself,family and friends but if there's a tip requirement it should be included in the price on the menu and on the bill. Strange place indeed. read more

Received a rather condescending message regarding my review. I am not confused about it being a Japanese restaurant... I guess what I find confusing is why a restaurant that serves Chinese food, labeled as such on their menu, would only expect reviews about the Japanese food. I have an expectation that if a restaurant serves it, it should be good regardless of specialty. If you don't put equal effort into all the food, don't serve it. Losing a star for this! Took a screenshot from their own website (09/18/16) to show how the menu is labeled. A bad experience is a bad experience! love a good zombie and can handle my liquor. Ordered 1 on date night, took one sip and regretted it immediately. It was so overly strong and had no real flavor - just burn. And not strong drink burn, pure alcohol burn. I felt awful through the remainder of our lack luster meal. Not sick, just terrible and it ruined my night. The food is average American Chinese food but everything fried was doughy/goopy and soggy. This place has gone down hill rapidly. Service is terrible too, unfriendly and rush you! I hate seeing servers check for tips once a customer gets up to leave... see it happen every time I'm here. read more

Jasmine - Top left is labeled Chinese food. But don't review the bad Chinese food, they're a Japanese restaurant. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Auburn, Massachusetts

Typically I would pick this over a Feng or Osaka late night. It's cheaper, easier in and out. TONIGHT IT WAS AWFUL. We got there and the floor was filthy, I almost slipped on who knows what!!! Our Yum Yum sauce was dirty with left over rice IN THE SAUCE or maybe in the bowl? But when the bill came... that's when it got interesting... they automatically add 18% and our waitress was selling the and I recite her exact words "if you like me you give me up too $100... our bill was $80 for two people... so I asked her to explain the bill and she continuously said "if you like me just put $100 total." I will NEVER come back here. Just a head up. read more

We had a wonderful time tonight! Enjoyed my grandson's birthday. The waiter, Tony, was great! Didn't need to ask for anything, it was there ahead of time. He was both friendly & enjoyable. Food was very good, with portions more than we could eat. Cook put on a fun show! We will definitely go again. read more

We stopped in today for the lunch buffet and we were not disappointed. Located in a strip mall, I wasn't expecting much as i walked up to the building. It looks much nicer on the inside. The staff was very friendly, and our glasses never stayed empty for long. As for the food, it was absolutely delicious. If someone had just put a plate of food in front of me, I never would have guessed that it was from a buffet. Everything tasted as if it had just been cooked. We can't wait to come back for a sit down meal. read more

Jasmine - Asian Fusion Near Me - Auburn, Massachusetts

Jasmine is an interesting restaurant. It is large like a warehouse but split into several rooms, all with nice decor. There is a small bar room ... this needs to be expanded. Many times I have gone with friends and not been able to find a seat, which is a good problem for a restaurant to have. However, there have been times that I have avoided Jasmine because I knew the small bar would be full. There is a larger dining room to the side. There is a room for hibachi cooking with chefs cooking at the table and doing the traditional schtick for that. There is another room which has tables and a sit down sushi bar. Before I go into the food, the biggest problem I have with Jasmine is the seating arrangement. You have 2 main dining rooms yet they seem to mix the groups of people together. What I mean by that is that there are always several loud, roudy groups of younger adults crazy drunk ... banging on the table, swearing and being loud. The Mai Tais are strong here, and I understand that as such you are going to have rowdy young groups ... but the restaurant should consider using the back dining room for those groups ... and using the sushi bar dining room for diners who want more of a quiet experience. Once, I was on a date and there was a table of about 8 people in their 20s in the sushi bar dining room. They were screaming out obscenities ... the F word was used about 10 times at yelling sound level within the first few minutes I sat down. Then, one of the group found it funny to start loudly banging on the table. When one of the other couples at the table next to them looked over, one of the group said 'I dont Fking care. Stare at me all day.' and kept up the banging. I asked to switch to another dining room and they brought me to the back one. There was another table of about 6 or 7 ... 20 somethings, liquored up. After a few minutes, I again heard the F word several times very loudly and then one of the people started dropping the N-word. This was at around 5 p.m. on a Sunday. It seems this happens EVERY TIME I go to Jasmine. Musical tables because of a loud group. The problem would be solved by making the back dining room a 'loud' one and using the sushi bar one into more of a couples on dates and families dining room. I will never bring a date or family to Jasmine because of this. I will more often go with friends because the menu is very extensive and the food is good. Stick with the Chinese food ... its the staples. Chicken fingers, Spare ribs, etc. The Japanese section of the menu is interesting but it comes from the package, not fresh made. I ordered tempura shrimp one time and it came out looking like something that came out of a package at BJs Wholesale. Chinese food is supposed to be mass produced, but if any restaurant in Japan served that type of Japanese food, they would commit Hari Kari. The sushi is also very good. The chefs are skilled and know what they are doing and the presentation of the sushi is better than most places. The waitstaff are very capable most times and will get you what you want without problems. The prices are very reasonable for food ... especially take out. The drinks are a bit high priced for a Chinese restaurant. A few Mai Tais will set you back quite a bit. They do have Japanese beer in the can, but you will pay more for it. If you are going out with a family or on a date, be cautious of the environment you will be in, especially on weekends or after 5 p.m. The pre-packaged Japanese food and the loud atmosphere would be my only issues with Jasmine. This is one of the most popular restaurants in Auburn for a reason. read more

well priced and better hibachi than most places around here imo i had the chicken fried rice and a poo platter

I visited Jasmine's for the first time on Sunday. People at work and my boyfriend always rave about Jasmines. From the outside it looks like your average Chinese restaurant but once you're inside it is actually pretty nice. The buffet area was smaller than I expected but they had available what I usually eat at Chinese buffets. I got the usual but my favorite were the chicken fingers, general tso, crab rangoons, and the sweet potato sushi. I will definitely be back soon! read more

Our group of 4 intended to have hibachi. Too busy so we took a table instead. Waitress took order and brought food. That's it!!! We had to flag her down to get second round of drinks. Took more than 20 minutes for my friend to get a beer. We got the bill and gave a tip despite terrible service. Waitress returned to complain about the tip pandering for more! Other reviews tell the same story. In addition, waitress wore a mask and spoke very poor English. Was basically not understandable. Check your bill! 18% routinely embedded in bill and then they try to embarrass you for more! Not a place interested in the customer experience! And the quality of the food was very bland. Pu pu put in glass bowl instead of usual wooden bowl with sections and fire. There are a lot of better places to go! Don't waste your time. read more

Booked a reservation for 5 at 5pm... 3 of us arrived at 4:55. We were greeted and told our table was ready but we could not be seated until the rest of our party arrived.. Is this standard practice? read more

We reserved a hibachi table at Jasmines the night of February 23rd at 5:30PM. We were sat right away, the server came over promptly. From here, the service went down for the most part. Our server was not personable at all with our group, he seemed to rush and want to move on to the next table. Wanted us to order everything within 4/5 minutes of sitting down. He was hard to understand, not sure if that is his personality or they wanted to rush tables that night however, we were there for a reason and wanted to enjoy the night and felt we couldn't. When the cook came out, the cook was great with our 2 year old, making her smile and have a great time with the "big fire" as she calls it. This review is not about poor quality food or service by the cook/chef. After we were done eating, the check came over ($300 total, $60 a person). Price wasn't an issue for all we got however, the manager came over and was like "everything all set" in an attitude like hurry up, my wife was pregnant and the waitresses were very pushy and actually pushed by my wife to clean the table as she was getting her jacket on. Poor service overall for the money. Restaurants need to do better especially at the rates they are charging now a days. read more

all i'm going to say in this place is i've heard my friends story's on how they assumed they wouldn't tip much based off there skin color, been chased out for a 20$ tip on a 60$ meal , these are the steamed peaking ravioli i got ( they tried to tell me the pork wasn't undercooked) i'll let you make that decision for yourself read more

Jasmine - the pork in the peaking ravioli - Asian Fusion Near Me - Auburn, Massachusetts

A family tradition is now dead because of my Christmas dinner at jasmines. My ID shows my hair long, these days my hair is short. The waitress very rudely dropped her jaw and proceeded to be shocked that I could possibly be a female. For the remainder of the night, she ignored my shrimp allergy and anything else I ordered or asked for. I was enjoying my second drink at that point, only being there 45 minutes. She packed up my meal when I wasn't finished eating off of my plate and my whole party wanted to enjoy another round of our drinks. I had to bicker with her over a third drink while the rest of my party was on their 4th. A new bill had to be printed, again only there 54 minutes now, and I gave her my card but when she came back she insisted I signed it immediately and I asked for a minute because I was mid conversation. My jacket and hoodie proceeded to be pulled and tugged on so I could sign the bill not just one occasion but twice. I will never be coming here again. read more

WE went here for the lunch buffet today. It was huge! We went to the Mandarin the other day in Milford and I have to say that Jasmine was much better. I tried so many things and honestly I didn't have anything that was gross or that I didn't like or finish. I tried an eggroll, crab rangoons, a chicken skewer, some boneless pork ribs, california roll sushi, some sauted shrimp and surimi, green beans, honey chicken, sesame chicken, chicken and broccoli, lo mein noodles (which for a change were actually good). They had four different tables to choose from, everything was fresh and tasty looking, not like it had been sitting there for hours or anything. If anything it's the first asian buffet I have been too where I had a hard time not just eating everything because everything was very enticing. I did try a piece of sushi that had salmon in it that I didn't like, and one deep friend scallop. Other then that it was all good, fresh, and high quality. Dessert was all mini pieces of like chocolate cake, cream puffs, and some mini eclairs. None of those rocked my world but I was way to full by then to really care. Total cost was $12.17 with tip! Not to bad for lunch I think! Definitely recommend the buffet! read more

Things have change since my last review of Jasmine's: My biggest complaint is the bathrooms are Disgusting. IMO - bathrooms at restaurants should be over-cleaned and a big reflection on the place.

Just left the place extremely pissed off. First of all , upon arrival it says with big blue and red letters , OPEN! So guess what , i walked in. When walked in there was only two people sitting by the booth. It was around 9.10 and they were closing the place at 10 , bartender was wiping the bar with some dirty rag. , when i sat by the bar , i was treated like shit by some angry older asian guy... since i sat down his voice was rude , and first thing he said that kitchen is closing soon and to hurry, when i asked for menu , it was thrown to me like i was some garbage... when he walked away , everyone at staff was looking at me the weird way... decided to walk away , and will never get back there ever again... i never experienced anything like that in my life ... big disappointment.... read more

If you like being rushed then ignored by l servers, bad Chinese food, and an incredibly dark atmosphere this is the place for you! This is one of the closest restaurants to my home and unfortunately it is one of the worst I have ever been to. Judging by so many other reviews on yelp I cannot believe how busy this places all the time. I have tried this place multiple times as I really wanted to like it. I cannot complement on the Teppan-Yaki stations or bar. I've gone twice with my wife for the Chinese and sushi. Each time the hostess seem to be bothered that we were coming in. One time she didn't even give us menus to sit down with. If you go for lunch they'll give you the pricey dinner menu. Each booths we've been seated at have patches on them. The Chinese dishes that we have had have been "meh" at best. I understand they are a Japanese place but if you charge the same price for something I could get at a real Chinese place I expect it to taste as such. The real down fall to this place are the servers. Each time we have felt ignored and rushed to decide and to get out. WILL NEVER SUPPORT THIS PLACE. Do yourself a favor and drive 3 minutes into Worcester for an array of excellent Asian restaurants. read more

We went today for the Buffett. It was packed. They did a fantastic job keeping the trays full ND the place clean. All the food was fresh. The egg rolls HaD red cabbage, which in my opinion make it's a contender for best in the area. The duck sauce was the orangish one...I prefer dark duck sauce . Over 100 items and all we had were amazing..Give it a try read more

Went to Jasmine for hibachi to celebrate a family member's high school graduation. The food was excellent, but the service was very weird. The host and waitstaff were obviously annoyed with Went to Jasmine for hibachi to celebrate a family member's high school graduation. The food was excellent, but the service was very weird. The host and waitstaff were obviously annoyed with our party because we didn't all arrive together (everyone showed up within 5 mins), then they rushed us through our meal--taking plates away before people were done and aggressively asking us if we wanted anything else, obviously just to hurry us along. The hibachi chef basically refused to leave until we gave him a cash tip (I've tipped on a credit card there in the past), so another guest and I had to leave in the middle of our meal to go across the street to a convenience store to use the ATM. By the time we got back, there was already a to-go box waiting next to my food. The chef also kept insisting that we post pictures of him to Instagram and tag him, all while we were trying to eat. Got the check and saw that gratuity was added, which was fine. But then, the server stood over me while I was signing the bill, telling me that I should add more because servers there have to split their tips with the chefs. We already tipped the chef separately. She wouldn't go away until I added the extra tip and signed the check. It was just a super uncomfortable experience that has turned me off to Jasmine's for good. read more

Beware! My teenage daughter and her friends had lunch at Jasmine last week. My daughter's meal came out to be $36. She paid with cash and debit card as she did not have enough to pay the whole amount in cash. She asked to add 20% tip to the check. When the waitress returned the bill showed that her debit card was charged $20 instead of 20% of the bill as she asked. She asked the waitress to correct the mistake but was told that it is too late to change it because the check was already closed. Clearly my teenage daughter was taken advantage of as the cashier cannot close the check without the customer's signature. She is not experienced and savy enough yet to asked to speak to manager and get her money back. Very dishonest! Make sure to check your bill carefully. I doubt that we will be patronizing this establishment again. There are plenty of great and honest restaurants In the area where you don't have to worry of being scammed. read more

Food was ok, hence the one star. The lack of any more comes from managements lack of security and the fact that they overserved a party of 8 at a hibachi table. They argued with each other and berated the chef and acted like complete jerks. NOTHING was said to them. It got physical and still nothing was said. I should have called the cops but figured maybe the staff did. Nope... Nothing, extremely disappointed in the staff here. Completely unacceptable. read more

I go back and forth with Jasmine. Decor nice, always good service, food pretty good. My problem is that twice I've ordered their vegetarian dumplings and received meat ones (once while 9 months pregnant). I'm understanding, so I could overlook it the first time, but come on. Twice? If it's happened to me twice, how many others has it happened to? No comp ever offered, btw. Really, get your shit together. read more

The decline of this place continues. If you want a chinese buffet in Auburn it's still the best option for you, but the overall quality of chinese food and sushi has been steadily diminishing. It has the standards available, and a nice hibachi area, but I've got to admit I've become disenchanted. Crab Rangoons are still delicious. Polynesian drinks are still worthwhile, but they are no longer the stiffest in town. read more

Went here for dinner, got there at 8. We were seated around 8:15 in a dining room which no one told us had been conquered by a wasted brigade of pregaming townies going to a bachelor party. Under any other circumstances I would have walked out but we were all seriously hungry and this was the place we went to. We ended up getting a pu pu platter and dumplings. It was tough to get the proper sauces... Actually it was tough to communicate anything! The waiter was cordial but sort of acknowledged that none of the managers were going to do anything about the noise. It was a jersey shore audition, guys literally shouting at each other like its a locker room. And none of the managers went to the table. Parties being seated in our section while we were eating all left without ordering, shortly after sitting down. The food was good and it looked like a nice place. It just felt like the restaurant is out of control and no one is in charge when it's busy. Its too loud to talk. Management is unwilling to take action. Lots of families trying to have dinner and spend time together are sold a sub-par night out, which sucks. read more

Great local place to grab a drink and sushi with friends. I recommend the vodka mai tais and sushi. We sat at the bar and despite it not being busy , the male bartender took some time to ask if I wanted a drink. Which if one is sitting at the bar , you likely want a drink. I had to flag the guy down to place a food order. Thankfully the food was quick and tasty. There was a shift change and the female bartender was much more attentive and personal despite a much busier crowd. read more
