My friends and I wanted to take my cousin to a restaurant for her birthday. So we made reservations at Jasmine. Well....we were seated and then we waited for an additional 30 min for our waitress to come to take our first order of drinks and apps. Ummm...it wasn't busy!! hellloooo! By the time she got there, we were not a happy crew. She hastily took our order of drinks and apps and she was about to take off when we stopped her and said we wanted to order for dinner too.. seeing how it took a half for just drinks. How long before she would be back to take our entree orders!?!!?! She seemed like she was rushing us and not being very attentive at all. All in all, the food was good, the decor was very nice but the waitstaff can go home. Please. 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

So after several date nights in the bar, the occasional take out lunches, the fact that we had to replace China One -- Jasmine gets the fourth star from me. We haven't had any issues yet -- and the best part is that when I'm feeling to lazy to get all dolled up for the teppanyaki dinner -- Mr Bethany can pick it up as take out! All the courses, neatly packaged & delicious! Crossing my fingers that they can keep it up! read more

I tried to call for over an hour to get a busy signal ...waited in line for 20 min only to not have my order taken. Sad this is one of our favorite places unfortunatly they are unable to handle the crowd read more

While their sushi is very good, I don't like their Chinese food much. The pork fried rice is probably the worst I've ever had. They do have the hibachi grills (cook the food in front of you), and the food there is pretty good. I would recommend sitting there or getting the sushi. Skip the menu Chinese. read more

One of my favorite Chinese food restaurants. I have ordered out every time I've had their food, so I will not comment on the wait staff. Their food and sauces, includes their duck sauce, is by far in my top three. Their lunch and dinner specials are plentiful, but I prefer their lunch specials as they are about three dollars cheaper. A small hidden gem in a big plaza, a definite destination for your next craving. 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

We went for the lunch buffet today, I was totally surprised how big, clean and so beautiful Jasmine is. There must have been 100 different things to try from pupu platter items, fried bread dough, pork tenderloin, best crab Rangoon I ever tasted, vegetable mei fun - delectable, sushi which we did not try but looked good, all kinds of desserts consisting of cakes, eclairs, creme puffs, puddings, jello and four different flavors of ice-cream. Oh my God, I was in heaven checking everything out. We went up twice to try many of the items, but we simply could not eat anymore. We went home full and happy and I'm already dreaming about our next time going there.... read more

Our service was good, but I can't say the same about the food. The menu is too large for them to really be good at one thing. The sushi was probably the best thing we tried. The pad thai was awful. I can't believe they can even call it Pad Thai. My mom got tempura vegetables and they came out as these huge fried things (looked like whole fried carrots from the outside!). Really unattractive presentation, so bad you couldn't tell what the vegetables were. Drinks were hit or miss. I had a very good martini, but my mom had what she called "the worst drink she ever tasted"- one of their specialty drinks which was fruit juice and sour mix mainly. She sent it back and got a martini. I'm not sure I'd go back, I much prefer going to Kaizen in Sturbridge for Sushi and I think I'll skip the Thai food until I'm back in Boston. 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

In the hibachi field, I would have to say Jasmines is the best. Although I only go for the hibachi, Jasmines also offers a full sushi menu and Chinese. The staff is very helpful and attentive. Drinks are good (I always pay close attention to drinks). Their prices also great; you get way more than you pay for. I think lobster is $25? (which comes with soup salad, vegetables, rice, shrimp app and ice cream). My only complaint is that it's a plaza...weird read more

Ehhh...better than fair, but not quite good. The sushi was a bit above average, but their other, Chinese food is nothing amazing. I've had a wide variety of their food because I work very close. I also tried their lunch buffet. It has a nice selection but still very mediocre food. The buffet and dining room attendants were attentive, but they seemed to hang out end congregate at their service station instead of filling waters and prebussing tables. The takeout staff is rude. I've dealt with them about 5 times and I always walk out unpleased. read more

My husband and I went to Jasmine's, without reservations/ last minute idea, for New Year's Eve. We chose the buffet at $14.95 which offered plenty of selections, trays were continuously refilled, as they tried to keep up with hundreds of customers at one time. Our guesstimate is they can seat /service at least 200 customers at once. Our first impression was very positive in how this space, formerly an I-party store was renovated and subdivided into 4 distinct sections - a large sports bar to the left (upon entering) / off lobby, a separate dining room for hibachi meals, a sushi bar on opposite side of long hallway and 2 to 3 separate dining areas, along the hallway, with 4 island buffet plus salad/fruit island and dessert island at end of hallway. I would suspect this location (between TJ Maxx and a grocery store) offers the amount of space they needed (for this sort of layout) at a good rate. By being located in a small plaza, parking becomes less of an issue as is the case at some stand-alone restaurants. I have seen this set-up in Boston and other cities. Lastly, the plaza is no more than 1/4 mi. from Mass. Pike entrance and near several hotels in town. Being New Year's Eve (when many people decide on going out for supper) and given their well-earned reputation to date, this place was incredibly packed. People waiting in sports bar, along the hallway and in lobby (even some outside) for their tables with an estimated hour's wait. The staff managed people waiting for tables (several dozen at any given time) as well as they could, by walking into other areas and yelling out names. No beepers or any type of announcement system in place - room for improvement here. Our wait ended up being only half hour. We would definitely return to this place, when more quiet, and explore other sections of this restaurant. This is only the second restuarant in Auburn serving Asian cuisine. In our opinion, this place offers a wider menu and fresher food. read more

Sushi is my all time favorite food... and the sushi here is absolutly fantastic! My family goes here all the time and everytime we go it is always great. The sushi is freshly made and the presentation in wonderful! Also you can watch them make the sushi if you want too! The noodle dishes are also always good. I've never had a bad experience here! I love it!! read more

Who does not like Chinese food? But more to the point; who has not been disappointed in the past with bland food, dry rice, etc when you have gone to or have ordered pick up from a Chinese food restaurant? Well...I am here to tell you that the food here at Jasmine is DELICIOUS! To be fair, we have only ordered take out and appetizers. But that is what we typically order at any Chinese restaurant. Everything that we have had has been tops to satisfy/exceed our standard. We order pork fried rice (moist, and is not just rice with pork) chicken fingers (crispy and the chicken is moist), boneless ribs (very thin and barely any fat), beef teriyaki (lean, moist, and flavorful), chicken wings (good balance between flavor, moisture, dryness, and are not chewy), and pork strips. We have ordered from here many times now since moving to Charlton 3 years ago. When we have had people over they have ordered other things like crab ran goo, and they have all agreed that everything was delicious! It is a 15 minute trip from our home to Jasmine, along the way we pass a number of other Chinese options, but 30 minutes for a round trip is just worth it because of how good the food is. The people have always been very pleasant. We will someday try dining in, perhaps for the buffet which I have heard all good things about too. Very satisfied! read more

Come here often during lunch break. Always good food! Front desk ladies are always friendly and so are the bartenders.

Super friendly service. Their sushi is absolutely delicious and tuna salad is the best I have ever had! My boyfriend ordered steak and finished all his food and was very happy with his order. I will definitely recommend this place to anyone that loves sushi or hibachi. Thank you! read more

The service was decent and everyone was especially kind to my young toddler. But the food was mediocre (surprisingly, the items from the Japanese part of the menu were better than our Chinese items - I've usually found it to be the opposite at other restaurants that offer both Japanese and Chinese menus). There are no changing tables in either the men's or women's bathrooms. Unfortunately all of us had tummy aches later in the evening. I'm not sure it was from the food at Jasmine, as we had stopped on our way home from several days of family holiday celebrations, so it's just as likely that it was food from elsewhere or simple holiday overindulgence. read more

When I called for a reservation, the woman on the phone had all the charm of a pith viper. She was rude and pushy, practically refusing our request for 10. Because no one else had seating when we wanted, we wound up going anyway. When we arrived, the restaurant was not busy, yet it still took almost 15 minutes for them to pepare our table. (We did not sit at a hibachi, but a regular table.) The sushi was passable, but nothing spectacular. The same for the cocktails. Our waitress was pleasant, but by now the overall impression had been damaged. I may give them another chance sometime down the road, but it won't be anytime soon. read more

This was my fave place when Johnny worked there. Now terrible service at the bar. They don't pay attention. Long wait. Wrong orders. One of the barmaids tonight had a very small tank top on which I think as a server myself should not be allowed when serving food. Not to mention if it is OK with the board of health. As far as I have been taught there is a no armpit or exposed feet rule. We have been very disappointed the last few times we've been there. What a shame! Food is great but nothing else. read more

This is our go to take our Chinese food joint. Decent quality, good size portions, for a fair price.

Ordered for New Year's Eve. The pork fried rice was very dry and tasteless, the chicken lo mien was also devoid of flavor and had nothing but noodles in it. And the chicken fingers and chicken wings were over-cooked. Looking for a new Japanese/Chinese restaurant. read more

Terrible experience. Service was horrible the waitress barely checked in on us when we got there and kept saying she would come to our table and never did for about 10-15 minutes. When we ordered waters she aggressively took the drink menu! What if we had wanted to get drinks later?? So bad. Took our orders. The food was mediocre. Not bad but not good either. The worst part of the night was when it came time for the bill and she attempted to charge us double. She said my card was declined and that she would have to use my friends card twice. I said there is no way my card could possibly decline I have plenty of money in it to cover a $13 meal. I checked my bank account and the purchase went through I showed the waitress and she kept saying no no no it declined. She tried taking my friends card again and eventually she stopped cause she realized that it had gone through on my card. The manager came over and assured us that it would only be one charge. I would give this place 0 stars but I can't do I'll give it one for the very nice manager. She was extremely understanding! Not to mention the terrible waitress came back and cleaned our spot aggressively while we were still there!! read more

We went here for a birthday party and it was great. The appetizers were standard Chinese fare, dumplings, egg rolls, boneless spare ribs, chicken wings and were all very tasty and hot. There was also some sushi rolls which while I am not exactly sure which ones they were, they were quite tasty too. The teppanyaki with soup and salad was very good. I had steak and shrimp with fried rice and it was cooked to perfection (steak medium rare). The chefs put on a very fun and interactive show and seem to have a great time doing it. The soup was a nice clear and rich chicken broth with scallions and a mushroom slice. The salad was fresh and dressing tasty. I'd definitely go back read more

Surprised to see this is at 3 1/2 stars. Some of the worst chinese take out I have had. Friend's said they got good Chinese take out in Auburn. Only 2 restaurants in Auburn. I choose based on yelp rating. I choose wrong. Worse take out than empire village in sturbridge which I won't go back it is so bad. It appears yelp bases it's rating more heavily on more recent reviews so I needed to adjust for some recent 5 stars. Really??? I am basing on take out only though.Maybe they have good dine in and sushi. If you want good sushi though in central mass you need to go to Kaizan in Sturbridge. I guess I will try Yong Shing next. read more

This is worst hibachi place I have ever been to. Made a reservation for 8, didn't get seated until 8:30. Waited an hour for our drinks and to order our food. The people here wouldn't serve us alcoholic drinks even though we are sober and 21. I'm so angry and i would give it 0 stars. Food is over priced for what it is and our server was a complete asshole who admitted she was also drunk and that's why she was fucking up. Will never come here again. The dude who cooked for us was cool but that's it. read more

We've only gotten take out so I can't speak too much about dining in, but I can say that the interior is well done (especially considering it used to be an iParty). We've kept our takeout selections squarely in the Chinese side of the menu but have been very happy. I always judge Chinese by the ran goons and theirs pass with flying colors. If you're tired of other local Chinese options give it a try. read more

My first few forays here were fantastic. The last time, not so much. I've always raved that the fried food at Jasmine was much better than most Chinese places. The chicken fingers were always a lighter batter and had more chicken than batter. Not this time...75%batter! And the waitress was WAY too intrusive. She asked personal questions regarding the house we were talking about buying, after overhearing is when she walked by our table. She forgot my drink order for over 15 minutes as she spent most of her time fawning over the infant at the next table. I'm hoping my next trip back is a return to form. read more

So far really food service. Food is so far amazing and the environment and vibe is fun and interesting for kids, elders, and all. Really good place will recommend and will attend again. read more

Here you have a good choice of Chinese/American, a little bit of Thai, sushi, and a hibachi grill. I've been here twice and both times have been pleased. Any dish with beef will have good chunks of beef rather than the sometimes thin and fatty kind you tend to get at cheaper Chinese places. Their vegetables are always steamed just right, so nothing soggy and nothing undercooked. Their alcoholic beverages are probably the best deal, as they are on the lower end and are very strong. Lastly, I had the sashimi at my last visit, and I was very impressed. The presentation was good, and had nice extra touches like julienned cucumber, lemon slices, and pickled ginger that was not artificially colored pink. The fish was fresh, did not taste or smell fishy at all, and the sushi chefs were fast and clearly knew what they were doing. The prices are not unreasonable, but nothing to rave about which is why this review gets four stars. It's clean, the waitstaff is as good as it gets when there is a language barrier, and the food has not disappointed yet after a couple of visits. read more

I can only review for my only visit. It was so so. Lemon chicken lacked lemon flavor. It was more like plain tempura chicken. Perhaps the chef forgot the lemon sauce or something. The Celtic roll was good. It also seemed like I caught the staff on a short handed night. read more

Best place for sushi! Hands down. I've tried several locations for sushi but this is always my go to. As I'm writing this review Im starting to crave a sushi run. read more

First thoughts upon entering restaurant; wow, this place is bigger and nicer than it looks on the outside! I was instantly excited to try their food once my whole perception of the restaurant had changed from "just another chinese restaurant" to "oooh its a fancy chinese restaurant". My significant other couldn't decided what to have for our late lunch/early dinner b/c we wanted a little bit of everything. Most of the people around us chose the lunch buffet. We settled with the lunch buffet AND ordering 2 rolls of sushi. I can't recall the names of the rolls but we thought they were ok, nothing breathe taking. The lunch buffet was the same. Nothing too special. However, I did see that had hibachi tables as we were seated to our booths, perhaps we will return and try those another night and see if we like that better. read more

Came for the buffet today with my sister and 2 nieces.. Everything was pretty good!! Large selection of chinese stir fry foods, 3 different soups, 4 different kinds of sushi, ice cream, fruit and bland cake, packaged cookies, pudding and jello for dessert. SUSHI..meh..2.5 stars.. DESSERT..meh..2 stars... Variety and taste of the food...regular greasy chinese.. ...good 3 stars... value and price for the options..good 3 stars... Crazy... but my niece and I liked most of all...The Fries...more like potato wedges but very tasty... read more

I've always been a fan of Jasmine. The food is fresh, and service is speedy. I'm partial to the sushi, but the crab rangoons are delicious as well! read more

I do love this place, for many reasons. I have hosted a few parties here and my family and friends were very impressed with how much the staff cared about the theme of the party and how personable they were with everyone. The food is always phenomenal. I have never been let down going to the Buffett. I can be very picky with crab Rangoon's and Lo meins and they just simply have the best! We try to go in the weekends. Great drinks as well! Servers are friendly and smiley. read more

Ordered the Chicken Pad Thai last night and didn't sleep a wink. I've never had food poisoning before but this is brutal. I know this place was shut down before after they had a fire due to not cleaning behind their stoves/ovens but I still took a chance. I hope board of health is due there soon and no one else gets sick. Safe to say, I will not be going back to jasmines. read more

My husband and I stopped in for dinner on a Thursday. We have been coming here since they opened. At first they were great! But sadly they are a far cry from the restaurant they were before Service was poor and food was average My main complaint would be cleanliness. The water tastes like chemicals and I'm not talking about town water or city water taste... the water and sodas here taste dirty and like chemicals.. can't imagine what their ice machine looks like and god knows when it was last cleaned The drinks... equally disgusting The front door has been broken for over a year now you would think they could just spring for the replacement glass. Bottom line the place is a dump and it's dirty and the food or drinks aren't good. The board of health needs to pay this place a visit for sure. Don't waste your time go elsewhere read more
