    We tried Kouyou for the first time tonight. It was just the two of us. Located just off Riverside on Sample Road, this venue is easily seen. There is plenty of parking available. After being seated we checked out the buffet. The crab bowl was empty. We asked that it be filled and went to other areas. After the third time of asking they finally put out more crab. By then we had tried other areas. A huge assortment was displayed. Everything we tried had gotten cold. The fried items were no longer crispy, the wontons were displayed separately from the soup and dried out. Dessert was displayed at the opposite end of the buffet from ice cream and fruit. I almost missed the nice assortment of cakes and cookies.

    We went here today for our first time and the place is not only big but so nice! It definitely looks like an elevated buffet not your average place which we loved. We got there at 12:30 and service was top notch. The food was so fresh and delicious. A HUGE sushi variety! Delicious hot foods. Ugh. So yummy. We were extremely impressed with this place and would come here again for sure! Highly recommend!

    This is my second time here. Both times the over vibe is cooler looking than a lot of the Asian buffets in town. The sushi selection is the best. Though the selection of food is large it was just barely warm with every thing I picked from the "hot" buffet area. I would order the hibachi grill if you want temperature hot foods The price for lunch,$15.95 and $25.95 for dinner. The service is good for a buffet and the cleanliness of the dining room is appreciated. Though the serving tongs good be cleaned or switched out more often.

    We visited Kouyiu Buffet in Sample Rd for the first time on Dec. 25. The facilities appear, with a combination of asian and modern decor. The ambiance was relaxed and quiet and the place was very clean. We were a party of four and were promptly shown to a table. We place our drink orders and everyone started on the journey of finding what to eat. They had a nice selection, including sushi, hibachi, meats, crab legs, and pastries. Everyone in our party found something to enjoy. The service was great as our waitress keep our table clear and our glasses full. I am not sure if we paid dinner price or not, but the price was about $28 per person plus drinks and taxes. They added 18% gratuity to our bill automatically with the option to leave more. Overall, we had a great experience at Kouyiu and would recommend.

    We cane to Kouyou Buffet on Christmas day. It was the only game open in town. I thought it would be full, but it wasn't. There was actually only a few parties so we were seated right away. I don't do buffets very often, but as far as I'm concerned, this is a pretty good one. Food was fresh, and I saw someone checking often. I had hibachi, and some fruits, but there have lots of selections. They also had crab legs and oysters. I didn't have them, but they were over ice and kept cold. One thing I always have the few times I make it to a Chinese buffet is green tea ice cream, it didn't disappoint. Service was very good. We were given a nice Christmas themed box with candy and a keychain when we left. If you like Chinese buffets, this place is pretty nice.

    Nothing to w dirty tables and floor

    Place is absolutely terrible. Bottom of the barrel. Crab legs are an absolute joke. Sashimi tastes so cheap. Save yourself.. don't go here

    The selection is great and the atmosphere is what you would expect. It's not super busy like some of the Asian buffets are. We will be back.

I have lost a lot of weight and was very selective with how much I took until I ran across the boneless spare ribs. These are usually not available at other Chinese buffets during lunch time. I was surprised to see them. They were delicious. Our waitress kept our water glasses full and took out empty plates immediately. The service was outstanding. My friend enjoys lo mien. She said that Hibachi Buffet was her favorite. I saw pieces of cooked salmon and decided to try a piece. I am not a lover of cooked fish and was going outside my comfort zone. It was edible but I still am not a lover of cooked fish. Too bland for me. Their hot and sour soup was tasty. I returned to savor more boneless pork spare ribs. There were plenty of dishes to select from. I will be returning soon.

Still, everything else was just kinda "bleh". The service especially is not great, very unwelcoming. They aren't rude per se, but just give off the vibe of not caring about customer service. Overall, it was an alright experience. Now that I've tried it, I don't feel the need to go back. Again, maybe for the Cali rolls. I spent less than $15 when all was said and done, so there's that.
