My friends and I decided to meet up for a night out and have some dinner and decided to pick katana. My sister and I came in the restaurant and paid in the front and no one came to seat us to our table. Normally they will take you to your seat but no one greeted us. So my sister and I decided to seat ourselves in the back bc there a lot of us coming. And then our friends started coming and seated in the back and I asked if we can combine a table so we can all eat together rather than eat separately and it's hard to chat when you are not facing each other's. I get it, it was busy and it was our fault for not reserving a table ahead but we told the front cashier that we have other friends coming. I kid you not, the professionalism of these servers are lacking. The way they treated us was horrible. One of the server asked me, "who told you to seat there anyway" , and wanted us to sit somewhere else. I will never go back there! please beware!!!! if you want good service , this place is not it! I repeat, do not waste your money bc they will hunt you down for a tip read more

Diners beware if you choose to eat at this buffet. My husband and I ate there yesterday. When we finished our meal, and headed for the exit door, I was stopped by their "security", very loudly he said "Ma'am, a waitress witnessed you putting a salt shaker in your purse before you left the table!" I said, "excuse me?", in disbelief of what I was being accused of ........I opened my purse and showed him what I had put in my purse when leaving the table....... a tiny bottle of my hand sanitizer, which I use and keep on the table, especially at a buffet. Security very rudely told me that they have cameras everywhere, (basically calling me a liar and thief) I took a seat by the exit door and told him to go check the security video. Totally the most embarrassing and humiliating experience of my life, not to mention that we were surrounded by other customers! Security returned, without even an apology from him and said "you're free to go." I will never set foot in this place again and I have spread the word to all my senior friends that eat here frequently, they agreed, they will never eat there again either. I've never stolen anything in my life.....let alone a salt shaker! Wish I didn't have to even leave 1 star. read more

my sister forgot her retainer at our table and when we got to the car she realized then we went back inside and while we were looking two ladies stopped us and the one was holding the tissue with the retainer in it then she kept taking it back after my sister tried to grab it, they kept saying something about the tip and how we didn't leave one, i said we didn't pay and they kept asking about a tip, then my sister finally had to just grab it out of her hand, one of them filled out behind me but didn't go out of the restaurant. the food was good but the people were rude and only refilled the drinks once read more

Host was very rude. When I went look at the selection I noticed no deserts. I asked the Manager why no deserts? She walked away from me. I followed her and inquired again. Why no deserts? She responds "I don't know and walked away. How rude. This is the las time I will go to Katana. Their 3 types of fish weren't even edible stale at sitting entirely too long! read more

--10000 billon stars .... I have been here a few times over the years and the staff has always been EXTREMELY RUDE!! tried it again last Saturday with my daughter on a shopping day and we were in the plaza . When you walk in there's a sign about tipping ..I get it I always tip I'm in the service industry as well.. I didn't leave one on my card because I had cash .. the girl at the front desk wasn't happy about that or the fact that we ordered 2 waters .. we get sat.. only eat 2 plates of basically nothing each .. was never offered refills the waitresss just stand around and stare at you like prison guards making u uncomfortable. During our first plate a women came over and threw her little check thing that says tip real big at us and walked away ... we barely ate anything because I was so uncomfortable. I left 2 dollars and not a penny more .. they didn't deserve anything..if you want tips how about being nice and helpful?? And maybe u wouldn't have to chase people out the door. Bathroom is filthy. While in line one of the "cooks" bumped into my pretty hard and I apologized and said "oh sorry" even tho it wasn't my fault .. he ignored me .. I'm 6 months pregnant kinda hard to miss .. there was also a family of 4 behind me eating the waitress came over and cleared their table including drinks while they were up getting more food . They charge adult prices for children as well ... nothing good here at all the food is good but not worth all the other bs . DONT GO HERE read more

This is place is the reason I refuse to eat at a buffet. The food is disgusting, it has either say too long, it's dried up, or isn't cooked enough (check the pot stickers). The hibachi grill? He burns everything while on the phone, the sushi chef never tells you what is out and if he happens to do so he yells at you for asking. The sushi is rubbery and hard, which is a sighn its old. The ice cream freezer is the most cringe worthy thing ive seen.The waitresses demand tips, even if they don't clear plates refill drinks. The bathrooms are absolutely disgusting. read more

This is a typical large buffet place. The food was decent and there was a lot of it. They had sushi and grill area. Service wasnt bad. Probably wouldn't go again but was a decent meal. read more

The price is very reasonable $16.98 for two adult lunch buffets and 2 waters(free).the food was good, except the general Tsos chicken wasn't that good. I'm used to a dark red, thick sauce, and theirs was very watery. Would eat there again if we were in Belden Village shopping, but wouldn't make a special trip. read more

See all

My wife and I have been under some financial stress and haven't been able to take a date in a long time. We decided that we would use a little bit of our funds to go here. The food was ok. Some of it had tasted like it had been sitting out for some time. As we were leaving, the girl that fills your drinks up walks up to us and says we didn't leave a tip. She then kept asking about a tip and saying we needed to leave one. We already felt bad because we couldn't afford a tip and had no cash on hand with our financial situation. We would've left a tip of we could. However, I find it very unprofessional for them to be walking up to patrons and requesting a tip and trying to make people feel bad for no tip. We would not recommend this place because of that and because the food tasted like it had been sitting out for some times. read more

Very disappointed. The food was bland the (servers?) had attitude. One of them chased a customer down as he was leaving and "reminded" him about how tipping worked. In broken English. The booth I chose was clean they had a wide variety but the flavors just weren't there. All and all not coming back. read more

horrible service. dirty buisness. was cornered as we were leaving to give the ladies a tip, and got angry when we wrote no tip on the receipt. read more

Read the other reviews. Hands down the worst Chinese place I've ever been at. Not that any of them are super awesome but you'll find a better meal at McDonald's. read more

Used to go here all the time and it was amazing. Tried it again last week and everything has fallen apart. The food was cold and looked like it had been sitting for hours. There were bugs everywhere. I seen staff drop cookware and utensils on the floor only to pick it back up and keep using it. The bathrooms are absolutely disgusting. The servers and staff are very rude. They slam the checks down and basically demanded us to give them a tip with none of us felt they deserved based on how rude they were and the experience we had. Never even giving us a refill. Then we witnessed them chasing another couple out into the parking lot because they had not tipped. Talked to the couple after and they said they had the same experience. Neither of us will be returning to this disgusting place. Negative 1 stars if I could read more

A waitress came up and berated me for a tip. I did not have cash on me and was running out to my car to get some. I did not appreciate this as tipping is not mandatory and for their rude attitude, I left $1. My credit card was charged for more that I approved. Their staff are not friendly. DO NOT GO HERE. read more

Staff is extremely rude. Food is poor. Restaurant is dirty. Food doesn't get changed out very often. Price is higher than most. Please rethink visiting here. I saw several bugs crawling around the dining area during my visit. read more

Very Rude staff, they rush you to be seated and shout at you to follow them , the food is disgusting . Our "waitress" didn't refill our drinks at all , never even checked on us . She was also having a loud conversation on her phone right behind us (laughing) and watching over us like a hawk . I'll never spend the 15$ they charge here ag read more

Absolutely DISGUSTING!!! Staff will physically grab you and chase your car and put their hands on your children if they don't like their tip! read more

This place is unsanitary, food is chewy and old, the workers don't handle the food with proper care. All they do is put the old food over the new or spill hot water on the food that has been sitting out for hours! If you want cheap food and like to eat unsanitary food this is the place for you. read more

Tons of variety here. Asian, you've got it. Including sushi American is included with chicken anr mashed potatoes, as well as macaroni and cheese. Lots of condiments. Lots of fish options. Could maybe be a bit cleanlier but it is a buffet with a lot of turn over. Great place if you wanna smash on Chinese though. read more

This place is a complete shithole. Worst service ever, it's honestly a staple of what not to do. Food was disgusting, old. The dining room was not clean, I also saw bugs in the dining area which is terrifying to think how the kitchen looks. If you're looking for a free dose of penicillin and the worst service ever, this is your place. read more

The food is good the service sucks! The staff is very rude and unconcerned about the quality of service plus the place wreaks of attitude!

Husband and I went for the first (and probably LAST) time in 2022. The food was some of the best buffet food we've ever had. The SERVICE, however, totally ruined the experience. When we were walking to the building, this woman passed us loudly complaining about the terrible waitresses DEMANDING a tip and NOT letting them leave until they gave them one! We raised our eyebrows at each other and figured that maybe she was a Karen and went inside. We found out that Karen was exactly right! Waitress was very angry all the time and acted if she was doing us a favor. ALL the waitress' in this section were all very angry and screaming at each other ALL the time, which made it uncomfortable for us. When we were getting ready to leave, our waitress angrily DEMANDED we give her a tip. We explained that we had used our debit card and put a tip on there, but that was NOT enough for her. She actually SCREAMED at us to leave a tip or we could not leave! All we had in cash was roughly $2 and some change, so we left that and walked out. We were furious to say the least; we've NEVER been treated so rudely at a restaurant! And we have NO problem with tipping, either, but to be SCREAMED at and told we COULD NOT LEAVE w/o the extra tip was beyond ridiculous. We stopped to talk to the manager on our way out with our concerns, but he wasn't interested and rolled his eyes. We swore we'd never go back. Sad thing is, we find ourselves craving their food, but still refuse to go where we are treated so poorly. It seems on here that the rude waitress complaint w/tip is quite common but mgmt does nothing about it, which is VERY sad. I think it might be better if someone bought them out and re-trained the staff on common courtesy. Mgmt does not seem to care that they are losing clients due the rudeness, probably because there are always other fools lining up to get in. read more

I like that they have varieties but I can never go back there again. That is because I had an encounter in their ladies bathroom once when someone didn't flush the toilet and I saw it. I ran out gagging and that was it, the image of what was floating in the toilet ... stays with me forever, I can't ... even think of stepping foot into that restaurant again, I am sorry. read more

Friday nights. The place is extremely disgusting, the workers all sat around. We waited 10minutes for our drinks. The food was dry and gross. Will never go back. read more

Worst place I've ever been too , the food tastes old , I couldn't even finish one plate . This place used to be so good and it's gone so far downhill , the employees are nice but the quality of the food is the worst thing I've ever tasted . If I could give this a 0 out of 5 I would . read more

A Chinese buffet that doesn't leave you feeling dirty or sick to your stomach! We like this place much better than Buffet Dynasty across the street. It just seems higher quality, without outrageous prices. read more

I visited this restaurant for the first time yesterday (Sunday afternoon, paid $13.80 for the buffet and a drink). It was okay. The location is great - it's in Belden Village near Texas Roadhouse. I remember when this was Hometown Buffet; they're very clearly still using all of the same furnishings. The inside of this restaurant is pretty run down. The prices were reasonable, and they have a very wide selection of items. Mostly everything that I tried was good - but not everything. I loved the coconut shrimp, fried shrimp, dumplings, and lo mein. The sesame chicken was overcooked. Anything involving "crabmeat" is definitely imitation, and leaves a lot to be desired. But overall, especially for the price and with the variety of items, not bad. I didn't have a terrible customer service experience, but that wasn't great either. You walk in and they ask how many and do you want a drink - no greeting. You pay, and can add a tip at that time (which I did after reading these reviews haha) - no "thank you". Just "follow her". I never saw anyone smile. The waitress got us one drink, and spent a minute at the table arguing with me over whose receipt was whose (my friend had left to go to the bathroom, and our table hadn't been cleaned yet so the previous guest's receipt was there as well). The women's bathroom was a mess. Toilet paper all over the floor, a layer of water covering the sink, with one gallon-sized container of soap (it was so watered down, it didn't even resemble soap) on the counter. I usually don't go to Chinese buffets, but if I go back to one in this area, I'll try somewhere else. read more

Katana Buffet - Chinese Near Me - Canton, Ohio

I am changing my review because last time we went the silverware was not clean, the floor was dirty and disgusting and I got a glimpse into a back room, I decided to check their health department inspection reports and YUCK. Cockroaches found by the sushi counter, deep fryers, chicken in gallon buckets sitting on the floor, and utensils not being properly sanitized on multiple occasions. I urge anyone who has eaten here to look the report up online, I will never eat here again. and on top of that before we were even done eating the waitress came to our table and started screaming about us a leaving a tip, my parents paid for the meal and tipped very generously, but she wanted a tip from everyone sitting at the table, my kids were with me and she followed us out screaming and scared my daughter....will NEVER return. read more

I did not try salad or other foods only sushi precooked lo mean beef and broccoli and hibachi chicken. Mushrooms in clam sauce, and desert. Ice cream and pastry. The price is cheap I think around 9$ per person. Variety is good sushi is just ok you could skip it. It's clean lots of room great service. Not much else to add. read more

I love the selection they have here. From salad to sushi, soups to hibachi, and pizza to Sweet and sour chicken, they literally have something here for everyone. With the selection and quality of food, you might think it would be expensive, but it's amazingly cheap. Lunch buffet is less than $8.00! I highly recommend this place to everyone! read more

The food was ok with lots to choose from but priced a bit high. It was all good until one of the employees came over and loudly started poking her finger in the receipt tray demanding a tip. We were just getting up to get another plate but decided to leave after that. She was very pushy and loud, so we will never go here again. I wish I could rate it zero stars. read more

Food was alright, from the start workers were happy that I gave a $10 tip the reason why I know because they started to speak in a another language and making kissy faces. Just like how all the other reviews about tipping I think it's a big deal for this business I don't know why. Like I said food was alright mash potatoes were really creamy as if you were to dip a spoon into yogurt, which I found gross. 5 of 10 for food, 5 of 10 for staff 7 of 10 for setting since it wasn't crowded read more

Just read the inspection reports as started by another yelp reviewer. Never going back! This is a real complaint on the inspection; 3717-1-06.1(T) ***Observed an employee sleeping on a bottom prep table shelf inside the kitchen. The shelf had unopened canned goods on it. Manager, Jian states that this is not allowed but some workers are "lazy" and sleep when they are slow.*** Funny but gross! Also the fact that they were okay cooking around cock roaches is nasty. read more

This was the worst buffets I've EVER been to!!! I will NOT EVER return here! The service was horrible. We were treated like criminals who were trying to steal $3.00 worth of crawfish. They had the nerve to tell us that "blacks" don't like to pay for what they get. read more

What's their dinner prices now for 2 adults with drinks or water

I used to like coming here until I saw one of their employees using the tongs to pick up cheese that feel on the counter and placing it back in the cheese dish...then she replaced another dish in the salad bar, she used the spoon to scrape the stuff that fell onto the counter and place it back in the dish, along with the spoon...I guess sanitation is not their main priority... read more

I stopped after changing my mind on the Tilted Kwilt so I went without reading the YELP reviews Its a large buffet with a large assortment of meats. I agree with another yelper review (that i read after the fact), the foods are plentiful but not seasoned that well. The roast was fairly decent and slicing your own is good and bad. If you are hungry - this will do. The service was decent and it seemed clean to me. I'd stop again if I was in the area but probably not worth a special trip BUT not badd. read more

Great buffet for the price (under $12 on a Mon evening)....hard to believe they can still make money at these prices. Great selection of pretty much anything you could possibly want...including sushi to pizza. Good service, plenty of seating, and clean (especially for a buffet). Will definitely try again.... read more

I have eaten at this restaurant dozens of times. It is always very clean and the staff is always very friendly. The food is very good and is always changed out when necessary. The tables are cleaned as soon as the customer is done eating and leaves the table. I can honestly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a large selection of very good food at a reasonable price. Do yourself a favor and stop in at Katana Buffet. I'm certain that you'll be satisfied with the food and the service. read more

I must say that this is probably the best Chinese buffet that I've been to - although that's not saying much. There is a huge selection, and, at least when I went, the food was being placed out speedily enough that it was always appropriately hot. Among the food choices are the typical varieties of chicken, shrimp, ride, and fruit, but aside from these norms there was also a custom, personalized hibachi bar, a sushi bar with approximately 10 selections, and a hefty dessert section. The price is a little on the high side for a Chinese buffet. Lunch is ~$7 and dinner is ~$11. read more
