It was very crowded & in my opinion it wasn't all that. Not much of meat or seafood selection. Perhaps not enough of a great menu? $29.00 dollar for a buffet! read more

Terrible service overcharge. $'115 for 4 people plus $12 for 3 soda for lunch service not dinner but lunch. No signs or menu for or pricing. Talk about sticker shock when i got the bill. Skip this place. Food isn't good. Rude wait staff. What was a killer was the mandatory tip added because 4 people in the party. When i mentioned the mandatory tip i was told it would be removed was told i wasn't welcomed back. The big kicker was we walked out my oldest daughter was the last one and the waitress says we aren't welcome again but this time to a back to a child. The over all experience is dont eat here food is mediocre, you will be over charged and if you sit 4 people at a table they impose a mandatory 18% tip and RUDE read more

This was our first time at KouYou. It was so delicious! I truly don't expect much from Asian buffets having been disappointed more often than not. But every bite I ate was delicious. Even the few items I wouldn't choose again were good, just not preferred. My brother recommends the hibachi. I recommend the sushi! On the buffet favorites included the white fish, the Mongolian beef, the spare ribs, the salmon, and the stir-fried veggies. Absolutely everything had maximum flavor. The service was standard for a buffet. The servers who took care of us were pleasant, helpful, and quick enough. The ambiance is pretty with Japanese decor everywhere, and lovely color around the buffet area, adding to the level of appetizing appeal. The noise level is high, but conversation is not difficult. The 5 stars is fair in my book. And if I could give more I would! We'll be back and we'll bring friends! read more

Automatically added an 18% tip and this isn't what I would usually tip at a buffet for just getting us beverages.

The food was very good, great selection of food to choose from. I just wished the customer service was better.

i love everything about this place! the hot food is fresh, the sushi is great quality, and the desserts are delicious too! Quick service and great prices! read more

Kouyou Buffet - sushi plate - Buffets Near Me - Margate, Florida

This was a cute place I looked up on yelp for a causal Mother's Day dinner , when I was younger we always did Chinese buffets they had ample sushi and other hot food. My favorite were the cold crab legs shrimp and sashimi. Some things just tasted fresher than others and that tends to happen with the eatery style read more

New Spot serving buffets on margarate. What a great adventure i had here... OMG everything is so fresh and clean i cant even tell is a freaking buffet. I mean guys, this restaurant looks SHARP clean, new, feels so fresh. Customer service is top notch, the ladies are even willing to bring you whatever you need, with a smile under their faces. I think is its Asian owned so I do congratulate everyone that works here. Plenty of tables and choices. I went for the sushi which was amazing, fresh and super nice flavor. My strong plate was actually twice a hibachi grill with beef and chicken. Both were fresh, vegetables everything you choose here they make it for you. I had a pretty nice and full belly by the moment i was done. They have plenty desserts as well including ice creams and some cupcakes and little cakes, they were not the best but overall i mean come on! Wonderful. Price for my lunch fest was 12.95 FOR REAL? kidding me... I spent like 17 cuz i ordered some tea and a diet coke. My hot tea was smelling smooth and super hot, super good for your digestive system. I declare, hidden gem here my friends! Suit yourselves with the pictures, rest assured you are gonna be acting porkish here, lol Porky Yelpers! read more

Food was ok but not good enough to bring me back.. Service was normal Ambiance was what you expect for a buffet on a slow night There was explosive sh** in the bathroom which isn't the restaurant's fault and they were quick to clean it up perfectly but it did leave an impression on my experience lol read more

Great selection. The sushi is fresh and the selection is great. They even had some things I'd never seen before and I've seen a lot. All the other hot dishes we tried were very tasty. They even had a lobster dish with fresh lobster meat that was incredible. I will be back again for sure. read more

My family and I have never had a bad experience over here. I am a huge fan of their sashimi and their sushi.

I told the waiter there was a cockroach in my food she just smiled and laughed and said she was going to speak to somebody and was going to come back after waiting for her to come back she never returned after I waited I want to say about 25 minutes went by without her saying nothing as she continue to just walk by us and not say nothing and continue to serve other people so I decided to bring it up to one of the cooks and I showed him the picture and then that's when the lady came back to the table. I did not know what they said to each other because they were speaking their language but she was just trying to brush it off like it was nothing . People please stay away from this place it's terrible . And what's even worst before I seen the roach my daughter was also eating the noodles read more

Kouyou Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Margate, Florida

Extensive selection of dishes, and all of it is very yummy! Definitely the best Asian buffet we have found in this area.

We come here all the time!! It's so good! They have such great fresh options. My husband loves the crab legs and I love the hibachi station. The sushi selection is incredible. They have other hot food items too. I would skip the dessert unless you're getting ice cream. read more

Been here twice in one week Fresh food and fabulous staffs My Orlando family also enjoyed it Waiting to come back. In the meantime my Gainesville and Ocala can't wait to visit your awesome place. Haydee read more

The food overall was very good. There were a few misses which you learn to avoid. Examples: the fried food doesn't move fast enough to stay crispy. Some of the desserts are lacking flavor. Most of the selections are very good. The number of offerings is impressive. The hibachi was excellent. Service was very friendly. I'm definitely going back. A very good value. read more

We enjoyed the buffet during our visit. They offer everything from salads, sushi, appetizers, meats, vegetables and desserts. They have a nice selection to choose from. We enjoyed many items and all were very good. The only thing I found to be a bit tasteless was the desserts. They offer small servings which is nice if you want to try more than one item but they are not very sweet and a bit bland. The overall experience was very nice. The restaurant seems clean and has a nice ambiance. Will go back to try other items on our next trip. read more

First time here for lunch $16.95. Value is great. Dinner is $27.95. The restaurant has a nice decor. I got here at 11:30 when they opened. The food looks wonderful and all is full. Only problem was that most of the food was barely warm. So, that was disappointing. Service was great. I will definitely come back but if it's cold again. I will probably not return One thing I did like to see was all the employees sat down to eat from the buffet. There were some fruit flies hanging around the desserts but they were good. They don't eat much read more

A great place for a buffet. When u get there before 5 waiting for the doors to open for dinner, Everything is completely fresh and the place doesn't get busy. Raw sushi, cooked sushi, and everything in between. Great prices for family and they won't let you down. Highly recommend. read more

Kouyou Buffet - Teriyaki chicken, Krab Rangoon, vegetable fried rice, green beans, Fried Dumplings - Buffets Near Me - Margate, Florida

Kind of weird. The food is decent especially for the price. There is a language problem with some of the staff seeming to not understand English. I am not sure they don't , but it comes in handy when there's a problem. I printed a 10% off coupon from their website, but they claimed it wasn't valid. That it in fact had expired tree years ago because there was a tiny "3y" on it. Just that, nothing else. My repeated demand that they remove it from the website was met with blank stares. They also claim to serve Pepsi products but I found that really hard to believe as my soda was awful. So if you go, order the buffet, don't ask any questions, pay the bill and leave. read more

Food is really good ... when the hostess understands what you are ordering. Today I tried to make an order "to go", and she insisted on changing what I ordered. It's clear that she doesn't speak anything in English, and I'm not sure why a business has such person as a hostess. To make this a short story, I had to leave without any food. :( read more

Kouyou has an extensive buffet with more of a selection of seafood items and sushi than any other buffet I have been to. There are tons of tables with really comfortable seats, great for groups. There are many TVs (a long time ago this was a sports bar). The food is good, service great and the price is $25 for adults. Tea and drinks are extra. Kouyou has received a lot of good reviews (I did check before I dined here). There is parking in the plaza area and Kouyou is visible from the street. Not hard to miss. read more

Came by with the family on Christmas night after reading some of my fellow YELPERS review and I must say our experience wasn't exactly thrilling. There were 6 of us and on arriving we were seated in the most cramped table in the room which we immediately changed. For starters I tried the Sushi section and it was just OK, the selection was average with nothing I would want to go back for seconds. The Chinese food section was also very average with quite a few dishes needing fresh refills. The soups were decent and the dessert section was average. I tried the Hibachi Shrimp and steak combo and was not thrilled, the fried rice was very tasty and probably my favorite. Unfortunately we don't think this would be our first choice if ever seeking to try this kind of a meal again. read more

Some people love them and some people hate them but I am a fan of the all you can eat Asian buffet. In moderation of course. When I saw a new one open near me I was excited to try them out. This restaurant is owned by the You family. According to the restaurants website, this is the family's first restaurant. This is one of the pricier buffet options in our area so I was expecting a lot. My weeknight dinner was $20.95. A weekend dinner is $23.95 while lunch runs $13.95. They have sushi, hot foods, cold seafood, and dessert. The sushi selection was nice. They had a lot of choices and everything seemed very fresh. If you go out for just sushi it can be pricey so this restaurant is a good option for the sushi fan. I didn't try the hibachi but they had a varied selection of raw meats, vegetables, and noodles. The chef was on hand to cook your food so you didn't have to go looking for him like at some places. The hot food was okay. None of it was cooked very well. My favorite was the Thai coconut shrimp. The meat was tough and dry and the options were the same you can find at any other buffet. The salt and pepper shrimp was excellent but the eggplant was too mushy. I was most interested in the seafood. The peel and eat shrimp were small and didn't seem all that fresh and the snow crab legs had been previously frozen and I have had much better on the buffet line. They also didn't refill the snow crab legs very often. Dessert was ice cream and a small cake selection. It is pretty much the same dessert you would find at any Asian buffet. On the positive side the restaurant is very clean and nice. The servers were so friendly and always had a big smile. They were very prompt about cleaning the dishes away. I might try them again for lunch but I think they are a bit high for what you get. read more

Looks dumpy on the outside due to age of the building but the inside gives a beautiful restaurant with good Chinese, sushi, habatchi food. Good price for the amount and quality of the food. read more

Friday night dinner out so decided to try this new spot out. I would say it's ok not anything to special. The food on the buffet could have definitely been hotter. We went at 7:45 p.m. and there shouldn't have been an issue with keeping it hot yet it was barely warm. The selection was minimal tonight. Sushi is good but honestly there are two other local spots that hit my five star rating. This place didn't even have fortune cookies. That's one of our favorite things to do end a meal like this with as we crack them and read our fortune's and put in bed at the end of it for a good chuckle. The salad bar is not labeled at all and I actually tried what LOOKED to be vanilla pudding and ended up being banana pudding which unfortunately I'm allergic to bananas so that was a downer. The price is rather high for the quality of food. Service was good. Staff are friendly and the place is clean so they hit a solid three star rating. Maybe in time it will be better but like I stated before if your going pay this kind of price have higher quality shrimp and crab. Thanks for reading! read more

Had a good time. Clean. Excellent wait service. Probably the most inventive sushi in a buffet setting that I seen and tasted ever. Well-kept secret in Coral Springs. I'm going back there. read more

This was definitely one of my best buffet experiences, from the quality, service and taste of food. I give this a 10 out of 10! The options were endless, it was everything from hibachi, all sorts of seafood, every chicken, steak and pork varation m. Also, the desserts were top-tier, I loved the fried donuts with condensed milk. You can taste the quality of top-notch food. I will definitely go back in a heartbeat! read more

It's not good for the price, there are other buffets that are way cheaper with better quality, & quantity

Amazing place, not your regular sushi buffet You actually get high quality sushi and specialty rolls. Everything was very flavorful, and you get a wide variety of dishes including hibachi, salad bars, fruits, desserts,seafood, Chinese food, etc. If the quality of the food remains the same this will be a hit (better than santos)Everyone is so nice especially raymundo who was in the hibachi area explaining everything and ready to make any special requests. We will definitely be back soon read more

Really enjoyed this buffet. The selection was excellent and everything was so fresh. The oysters...yum. I probably had 6 or 7 of both kinds and loved them! The place is also very clean and they don't pack the customers in like other places. Hibachi was excellent too. read more

Amazing Service! We got sat very quickly and all the food tasted just as expected. The ambiance is cozy not loud at all so definitely a place to try again! I strongly recommend trying out this buffet read more

I read many of the reviews before I went to this restaurant. I will provide my experience. Upon entering there was a pretty long line outside, I figured that was a good sign.. right? Well on the contrary, the not so friendly host was taking her time seating people, because she was very particular as to who and how many she placed at each table. The host point to a two seat table in a corner next to what appeared to be a larger party, I asked to be seated elsewhere because why place us in such close proximity to a larger party, in a corner. There were MANY open tables, we asked to be seated at one of the few open booths and her first response a hard No, because we were only two and the booth holds four when my husband brought it to her attention all the others sitting in the booth were also a party of two. She then agreed to allow us to sit there. The food.... Many buffet items were out and they're not very quick to replenish. The sushi was just OK definitely not the freshest sushi I've had. I tried a piece of seared tuna, which was not edible as a matter of fact, I had to discard it in a napkin. The server was excellent, always had a smile on her face, came to the table very often. The place could use a good cleaning. The floor was quite dirty. I will likely not be returning to this establishment. read more

It was my first time at this buffet and it definitely did not disappoint! I came when it just opened for dinner time on a Saturday, it was pretty empty. The waitress sat my party of 2 down at a booth and service us right away. The food options were plentiful and all delicious. I love the amount of sashimi and sushi they had and the variations of Chinese food. They have a hibachi grill and a seafood bar too. The raw oyster was clean but didn't have any taste so I squirt lemon to make it taste better. The sugar dough balls were soft and fluffy. The only thing I wish they had was ingredients listed underneath the sushi because I'm allergic to shrimp and I had to examine each sushi piece carefully. Overall the restaurant was clean, service was great, and it's worth the $26 per person. I will definitely be back! read more
