    Great service and nice interior. We arrived not realizing they changed to AYCE- but it was reasonably priced at 27.99/person. We got crab Rangoon, a variety of sushi rolls, steak hibachi, doughnuts and ice cream. All in all good quality for the price

    This is definitely a gem! Duck on an all you can eat menu is definitely one of the best deals that you could get. The food was fantastic. The rice was smoky and not overcooked or undercooked. The noodles were also seasoned perfect. I had multiple sushi rolls which tasted fresh. Sushi rice is the most important part of the experience, and they have mastered it!

    The food was outstanding and the service phenomenal. It has been recently renovated. Went for the lunch buffet and it was a great deal at $17.00. My new favorite spot.

    We came here 2nd time and it was great food and good experience. My wife and I enjoyed the crispy roasted duck, sashimi and fresh food often updating by the chef. And our waitress Leah really friendly and always with a smile. Thank you Kuchi & Leah , we see you guys back next time we go to Tampa.

    Do u need a reservation for hibachi?

    No, you don’t need a reservation for hibachi. However, we recommend you to call several days ahead if you want a reservation. Do note that we don’t accept same-day reservations, especially on the weekends.

    Do they offer a birthday meal like Kobe does?

    They don't offer a free meal. They have instead sake shots. Its definitely worth a try. I loved the experience.

    Normally I ditch crab legs at Asian buffets because the crab meat does not give, but at Fuji?! Idk…read morewho their supplier is but these crab legs were phat and full of sweet crab meat. They got a variety of dishes and everything was solid. Sushi was so-so just because the rice wasn't seasoned like sushi rice normally is but the fish to filling ratio was A1, the sashimi was good too. And they have a drinks station with prepared jelly teas, bottled jasmine tea. Loved that they had dragonfruit at the desserts station. The service was also fantastic. Clearing plates quickly, super attentive. Easily one of my favourite buffets I went to this year.

    First, I want to say that the staff here are genuinely kind and welcoming, and in many ways this…read morebuffet offers a lot to seafood lovers. There truly are some standout items, and when things are done well, they are really done well. I especially loved the seafood broth in the dish with corn, the broths used with the fish, and how they pair with the incredibly fresh seafood. When those elements are fresh, they are absolutely delicious and a highlight of the meal. The fresh sashimi, crab legs, and shrimp continued to live up to their reputation, as did the mushrooms, seafood dishes, fresh cucumber salad, and cabbage. These items were very fresh and made it easy to create an excellent meal. There is a lot of potential here, and many of the offerings truly are amazing. That said, I feel strongly that the buffet would benefit from fewer options done well, rather than a larger variety that isn't consistently fresh. Unfortunately, some items were clearly spoiled and should not have been served. I honestly believe that if everything were taste-tested before being put out, some of these issues could be avoided. The pickled ginger, in particular, had gone bad and so it had a strong unpleasant odor and a slimy texture. This seems like something that could easily be prevented by serving smaller portions, keeping the rest refrigerated, and checking it daily before serving. While I thought the sushi was good, it felt amiss without the pickled ginger. More disappointing for me was the fresh fruit. The oranges, honeydew, and cantaloupe all tasted off and had a bad odor and slimy texture, which is the primary reason for the 3 stars. The bubble tea however was still delicious, but I was really hoping to finish my meal with fresh fruit, and that just wasn't possible this time. I also continue to wish there were more ice cream flavor options. There is so much that is great about this place, and I truly hope management focuses on freshness and quality control so the best items can shine without being overshadowed by a few spoiled items.

We came to celebrate my friend's birthday. They don't take reservations, and we walked in with a party of five. Right away I noticed none of the tables had hot pot or KBBQ setups, which confused me. Turns out this isn't traditional hot pot. You order it and it comes out already prepared in a bowl with a small gel burner underneath (bright purple/fuchsia fuel). They use way too much fuel, and the flames come out the sides. The bowls are visibly burnt, and at our table a napkin caught fire because it was too close to the flame -- not exactly comforting. This is also a buffet, which I personally don't love. There are a lot of options, but most of the food was either too salty, too bland, or after a while everything started tasting the same. Another thing that stood out was our server's attitude. It was a little too much for my liking and made it feel uncomfortable to ask for anything. I hate when service comes off that way -- especially when your job is to serve and help the table. On the plus side, the place is new, clean, and reasonably priced. If you're with friends, really hungry, and just want a quick, casual spot, it works. Just don't come in expecting a real hot pot or Korean BBQ experience, because that's not what this is.

    The Tampa China Buffet is a large, all-you-can-eat Asian buffet in Tampa off Fowler Avenue by USF…read morearea. It has a wide variety of tasty Chinese food, lots of different types of sushi, and lots of different seafood options, including unlimited crab legs at dinner. Cuisine: Chinese, Fresh Sushi, Seafood (including crab legs, oysters, mussels), American, and a large dessert selection. There were 5 different kinds of shrimp and 6 different kinds of chicken that were all pretty good. Specials: Unlimited crab legs are a dinner only special. Atmosphere: Tampa China Buffet was recently renovated with a modern futuristic interior with lots of LEDs, modern gray tile floors, and modern white marble style tile on the walls that looks very nice. Service: Service staff was friendly taking drink orders and refreshing buffet foods in a timely manner. The buffet is self serve so not much service is required. Pricing has gone up and is now $17 for lunch and $23 for dinner. However, this seems to be the going rate for most buffets now and the large selection of fresh sushi alone is worth that if you're hungry. Only one third of the foods had labels so you didn't know what you were eating unless you asked someone which is especially unhelpful for the sushi. I hope management can add labels for all the foods soon. That's an easy thing to fix. There was no hibachi which was a little disappointing. There were not a lot of dessert options beyond fruit. The cheesecake was not traditional but half bread half cheese so not true traditional cheesecake and bland with no fruit topping as is typical with cheesecake. The chocolate cake had no label and turned out to be kinda a coffee flavor. The Asian plumbs had a good different flavor. If you're in the USF North Tampa area, craving Chinese, Sushi, or Seafood, and are very hungry, definitely check out Tampa China Buffet! If you're looking for a better deal with Hibachi and sushi, Asian Buffet off Bruce B Downs in Wesley Chapel area has a lunch buffet which is only $11.

Service: 4/5 Our waitress was very nice and attentive, and she even gave us some local recommendations to check out. The hostess could be a bit friendlier when seating guests. Ambiance: 3/5 The restaurant has a large seating area with decent spacing between tables. One downside was the serving tongs at the buffet--they looked dirtier than expected. Replacing them more frequently, maybe every 30 minutes, would make a big difference.
