My son's favorite buffet. Huge & good variety. The service is also better than other restaurants like this.

Not an enjoyable time, food was bad, a lot over over cooked items, and overpriced. I can't believe they charge 17$ for lunch, big let down, I will not be coming back!!!! read more

The restaurant was very clean, the location is very nice, really enjoyed the noodles. great food. Server was nice. Recomend it of you are hungry !!!! Best buffet on town. read more

Good buffet, but price high on Sunday. Large selection and buffet quality. If you want to consume large portions of food this is your place. read more

Food was delicious! Would try the coconut shrimp and udon pho. Service was pretty good and prices are fair for the quality.

Lunch at Mitsui will definitely fill you up! Great price! Mostly awesome food. I love their sushi, the little crab things on the shell are to die for! Love the mushrooms and most of the other regular dishes are great. The side that's a salad bar is fantastic. The bananas with sweet sauce is a favorite of mine. The staff is attentive without being overbearing. Somebody in another review mentioned something about not so good staff. In the times that I've been there they have been great and today, even, they were rather slow in bringing the check. It appears to me that they are watching to make sure they don't bring the check until they are certain you are finished eating. Why not 5 stars, you ask? Well, the beautiful desserts - the little chocolate mousse-like squares and the pink squares - they were REALLY dried out. A few of the regular dishes are dried out - maybe due to lack of interest from the patrons, maybe they need to be replaced by something else. The bathroom could use a makeover. (I tend to judge restaurant cleanliness by the appearance of bathrooms.) Overall, I'm a fan and I will return! Thank you, Mitsui! read more

First time here it was better than expected and great service! Food was fresh. And the selection of sushi was great. My favorite was their deserts. read more

This place is disgusting!!! Im usually the type of person to be a reseasonable guy when it come to food and cleanliness BUT this place is the polor opposite. The bathrooms loook like they havent been clean all week and the food made my stomach turn upside down. Save you money not worth it!!!!!! read more

This 1 star I'm giving this place is only for the peice of coffee cake that I had with the "mixed" vanilla ice cream. Everything and everything about this place was horrible. All their food was grocery store bought and microwavable foods. Now if a buffet has a HOT DOG stand and 3 buns on a regular plate? You know they're struggling. I ate a muscle that still had green seaweed stuck in it. Means they don't clean it. Chewing the clams with dirt still in it. Not very tasty. All I have to say is save your 40 bucks and just go buy some groceries. :) read more

I hate to give any businesses 1 star, but this type of behavior is unexceptable.. First of, my kids wanted to have some sushi but during the hour between 3-4:30pm, it's impossible, their all closed. So I asked them again what they wanted besides sushi, and my daughter said Olive Garden.. I took them there and the wait time is too long because they just got out of school and hungry.. So my wife decided she wanted to eat at mitsui for the buffet ( god knows why?!?). It's not my first time here, so to be honest I don't care to come back to begin with.. But majority voted that day and I gave in ( well also because I usually pick the place to eat most of the time.. And usually it's a local restaurant, mom and pops type). We got there, and got seated right away with our drink orders.. Got up to get some food and everything was dry, as I last remember.. Thought in my head was that, we should have gone to Tsing Tao, Hunan, etc. and just order food that's cook to order and worth the money.. Well besides the food, the services is pretty much ur typical.. Come time to pay.. The server gave us our bill ( we knew what type of price to expect, no surprise at all).. We gave her a $100, then she came back with our change and it was short $10.. So my wife brought it to her attention right away.. She took it back to the older cashier lady( seems to be the owner) and came back within minutes and told us " We gave u correct change".. Immediately me and my other half felt insulted in front of our 2 young kids ( as though we're crooked peoples). And then she proceeded to tell us they have it on camera.. So my wife told her go look at ur camera and comeback to us or do u want us to watch it with u.. Normally we wouldn't even make it a big deal because we don't mind tipping $10 if we felt that the service deserves it.. But now it was more of a principle.. So she went back to the old cashier lady.. I can clearly see a screaming match between the two.. Me and my lady looked at eachother and said "forget it".. As we were walking out tho, the old cashier lady felt the need to call us a liar again.. So pissed off now, my lady told her where is the so called video, let's watch it together.. Now the old cashier lady said " we will watch it and then call u". WTF .. We just turn our backs and leave with little dignity left.. read more

Oh come on you guys! Give this buffet a little more credit. I was reluctantly dragged down to Fresno for Christmas. (I know right? It sucked.) But man, the sushi selection was HUGE. And FRESH. And for the price? You can't beat this. For those of you going oh boohoo some of the entrees were so bad wah...... Here are the golden rules of buffet eating. Follow them. First Rule: Never get chow mein and fried rice at buffets. Second Rule: Eat all the sushi you possibly can. Because it's usually the freshest. Third Rule: You know those people? Who stir-fry your udon noodles and whatever else you want them to put in? Yeah, ask them to make you something delicious. Over and over again. Tip them if you're feeling generous. Delicious. read more

1st time there and last time we go. Food looks like it's been there for weeks. Only ate one plate and couldn't take being there anymore. Restrooms need major cleaning.. I do not recommend this place at all. read more

This place is so wonderful the environment also the food is great.The WAITERS MAKE YOU feel very welcomed.Me and my family come about every months because this is the best buffet in town. read more

Trust me....don't ever eat here!!!!! Ugh too much disgusting stuff to list, from filth everywhere, to room temperature sushi, to unidentifiable "food".....the ONLY thing I ate was a cucumber salad and a bowl of gritty ice-cream. read more

I think highly of my father-in-law (rare I know!) but when he takes us to this place he seems to lose points with me. While the food is ok, the people are touch and go. Perhaps I am also sore about this place because the last two times my bratty nephew (BN) has been in attendance especially with his shrill cries when he doesn't get his way. Each time I leave that place I feel like I ate a brick...hmmm. Don't think I can bring myself to go back even if BN is not there. PS- BN is GREAT birth control!!! read more

ive been here well over 30 times. It's really close to my place and it's good sushi. Things to keep in mind. Don't expect peppy service. Some people here are nice, most are just emotionless. this is a buffet remember. Everyone here has always been nice to my wife and I. Food is different depending on time of day and day. It seems like the crap is only a dinner option FYI. Food is always better early evening and Sunday's. Basically when it's busy food is good. Again it's a buffet, so new food replaces empty trays. Obviously. Don't expect the food to be fresh if the place is empty. I hope Sunday's. Sushi is good most of the time. Almost always on Sunday's. 4 observations/recommendations: 1. The birthday song is way to loud. 2. Smiles get tips- Clovis people expect happy service. 3. Play trendy American music at an acceptable but low audio level. Not some loud Asian track on repeat. I dare you to play country, oh that would be hilarious yet awesome. 4. Play movies/sports(sync the tvs) Daytime tv is not good or appropriate read more

This is the first time I have ever written a review for food. It had to be done because it was the reviews that got me and a friend to check this place out. Not only did we have great service, clean tables, appealing atmosphere, and most importantly, incredible food.. the price wasn't too shabby either! We had a great time sampling all sorts of appetizing foods. Mind you, if you are a fan of "jumping chicken" (aka frog legs), you will flip out! They have that too! They had HUGE oysters steamed with black beans, red snapper(deep fried and smothered in yummy sauce), and a pretty good sushi bar - WITH SASHIMI. Not to mention the quick service at the Hibachi grill.. good combos of shrimp, octapus, meats, and fresh veggies with the right amount of sweet and spicy sauces. Didnt complete the 5 starts just because of the bathroom.. but HEY, but for the wide selection of food, pretty awesome customer service, and restaurant presence... I say A minus. Will definitely go back for more.. maybe this time, I will be brave enough to try "jumping chicken" (YIKES!) read more

Its a Chinese buffet. You know pretty much know what to expect. You are here for quantity and not so much quality. If quality was a bit concern you wouldn't be here. That being said, this isn't too bad. Despite the Japanese sounding name its pretty much staffed by Mandarin speaking Chinese folks. Yes, I can understand what you are saying behind the sushi bar. They do have the perfunctory sushi bar ( nod to the Japanese sounding name). They do have a rather large selection of various chinese-american items (broccoli beef, kung pao chicken, orange chicken etc..) all of which are edible enough. There is also a mongolian grill style area which seems to be more often then not mandatory at Chinese buffets these days. The place is huge and seating is plentiful. As a buffet it does the job. And it is CHEAP. Its only $7 for lunch buffet and $10.50 for dinner. Are you kidding me? If I were in Clovis more often I would be hitting this place up again for shear cost and convenience! read more

Came here for the first time yesterday. Expected more customers as it was a Friday and 7pm ish. We were greeted and seated. The buds boy took great care of our plates and was also very polite. We also got an unexpected front row seat next to the sushi bar which is exactly what I came for. Sushi is about average tasting. They do have a wider selection than most other buffets but nothing like u would find at a sushi restaurant of course. The rest of the food was average. But happy to see king crab legs out. We had plenty of those though not flavored to perfection, my husband and I are watching our sodium intake anyway. They also have cool little soup/teppan station. The teppan im used to but never seen ppl get to make their own soup. So of course even though I was full I tried it lol I am a real food lover! The broth was light and tasty and they give three noodle selections to choose from. Overall we were pleased with our experience and don't mind going again as a last minute dinner choice. read more

I Enjoyed the Buffet the food and service is great for the price. I would recommend eating there. read more

Mitsui Buffet - Japanese Near Me - Clovis, California

Its a comfort style Japanese-Korean-Chinese-American Buffet. The food here was fresh and the server was friendly and prompt. For $12.95 the buffet was very reasonable, not the highest quality but not the lowest quality food either. I did not get food poising on my visit to this place, and I was able to keep up with my healthy diet despite the huge selection of fried and oil gauged food they serve because you can have almost a carbless selection. They do have a huge selection, they had Sushi, Sashimi, Chicken Wings, Udon noodles, various soups, salad bar, dessert bar, ice cream, fruit bar, Chinese dish favorites, fusion asian favorites and some american treats too such as french fries and fried shrimp and chicken. The quality of food is just mediocre, but tasty. If you were hungry and did not want to spend too much individually on Japanese/Chinese/American fusion food, then this is the place to come. Place was reasonably clean and again server was very efficient to clean up plates. Was very friendly too. read more

Food wasn't fresh crab tasted fake. Place wasn't too clean either. They had the desserts by the bathrooms which is a big turn off. Salt and pepper shakers were very dirty and sticky. Don't think I'll be going back such a disappointed when a couple years ago this place was really good. read more

Sushi is really good better than fin buffet. Great sushi, and a lot of dessert. There are friendly service .

Well between The dirty plates and the dry sushi.. And the bugs crauling on the sushi plates.. and people touching the food on the buffet line..with bare hands..and getting screwed out of my free dinner for every 9 dinners paid for mitsui is the worst place to go ..The owner-manager is very rude and he will screw you out of your dinner.. It says at the register log in with your phone number on tablet each time you eat 8 times get the 9th free..dont fall for it its bull crap just to get you to come back.. They screwed me out of it twice. I argued with him about it but they wont honor it..I will never eat there again and would never recommend anyone eat there..unless you like buggs in your food read more

Wow. Seriously, this is not a very good buffet. The servers barely paid attention to us. Took forever for them to get our empty plates and never re-filled any our drinks. There's not a lot of variety of food in here. The sushi sucks, even though I know it's buffet sushi. The food is just not good enough for me to want to pay the price even though it wasn't that expensive. Go to A-Star Buffet on Kings Canyon and Willow. WAY better food and better service. read more

Good buffets are increasingly rare, as Americans seem to care only for volume over quality. This place, while not unique, has a couple of things going for it, but not enough to warrant a special trip there. The hot food selection is the usual ho-hum Asian-Fusion, with wings, ribs, and the usual old-style Chinese restaurant selections. The real deal comes in the form of halfway-decent sushi, fresh and varietal. However... many, if not most of the rolls feature mani, the imitation crab, also known as surimi. Still, this item is made from real fish, usually pollock, so it is sushi in more than theory. The other interesting items here are two dessert stations, one featuring a liquid chocolate fountain, which fascinates children - and some adults - no end, and another featuring a barber's pole of peppermint paste candy, ready for 'peeling' onto ice cream. Unique, indeed for the latter item. Service was mediocre if competent, and the place could use a decent carpet sweeping when the staff are not checking their cell phones. Otherwise, Mistui is more of an afterthought than a destination. read more

I was traveling and hungry for Chinese I looked at the reviews and they were pretty decent. I enjoyed it the buffet had your normal Chinese foods everything was hot and fresh. The sushi was pretty good they had your normal Chinese buffet deserts it was nothing special but I would stop again. Looked pretty clean and. The servers were alright. read more

It's a buffet it Fresno, give it some credit okay. The food is decent most times especially if you take advantage of the seafood. It can get crowded at dinner, I prefer coming at lunch. I don't expect excellent service because, like I said it's a buffet. All I can say is don't do the "spin the wheel" game they try to get you to do when you walk in! It costs $1 and they will straight up give you a stick of gum looking like it came from someone's back pocket. Other than that it's good read more

Mitsui Buffet - Shrimp, crab, sushi and seaweed salad. Round 1 of 4 lol - Japanese Near Me - Clovis, California

The worst Asian buffet I've ever been to! God, I really hope that was chicken! The sauce on the "Korean bbq was suspect at best, the sushi should have been pulled HOURS ago and maybe the hostess could get off her cell phone to understand that I said water. The only thing that tasted right was the rice, the cheese wonton and the crab legs. No amount of soy sauce could fix the flavor. The entire time I was eating, I wondered if food poisoning would be an issue the next day. I will not eat here again. I should've paid attention the the other reviews! Oh, yes, the music. REALLY?! read more

Great buffet! Lots of selection and great service! Reasonably priced. Love the amount and selection of sushi that is available. Has a lot of different option for everyone in the family! The kids will especially love the chocolate fountain! Need to try the Mongolian bar they grill your choice of meats and vegetables. Very delicious!! read more

The food is gross! The staff is rude,and watching 1000s of health code violations happen while I "eat" was unappetizing to say the least. I no shit watched a woman talk on a walkie talkie, touch food, take a dirty rag, touch food with the dirty rag, then she chewed on her finger, AND TOUCHED THE FOOD AGAIN... I know these people aren't serve safe certified, no way in he'll! Unless you like the adrenaline rush from rolling the dice with salmonella, and E. Coli, stay away from this place! Now excuse me while I go throw up... read more

The food was ok. Not worth the price. I would not come back. I like the fruit bar. It was nice, and the sushi. There were no crab legs though, they were slow to refill them. I did leave full though. So yeah, i have to type a paragraph to get three dollars off so. Here it is. read more

I came here with a large party in the early afternoon after a funeral. They forced us to pay dinner price even though we were about ready to leave right when they switched over to dinner. They charged us incorrectly and then fought us over chump change to them. We just gave them a ton of business taking up their whole back room and out to the main area. Not to mention, we were grieving having just come from a funeral. The food was mediocre and the service was disappointing. I will never come back here nor recommend this place. I understand they have a business to run but that's not how you treat people, especially if they are giving you a lot of business. Never again. read more

Clams, oysters, crab and crawfish, you can really get your money's worth here if you want.

I want to give this two stars, only because the servers were kind. But dear god. No. Never. Again. Its not even real Japanese food, most of it. And trust me. I know Japanese food. The sushi chef was rude...I understand they're serious people in general but serious and rude are very thick lines that should not be so easily crossed. I couldn't finish. No. No more. Please no more. The sushi may have been decent...for limited choices., but...nothing else. read more

I come here for the sushi. It's cheaper than going to all-you-can-eat-sushi places and the sushi is pretty decent. And if you want to move on from sushi on to something else, you could. I also live the honey walnut shrimp here. There are other good dishes, but I've seen better at other Asian buffets. The desserts are also good. They have fruits and ice cream, which is what I usually go for. If it was up to me, I'd change half of the menu items, but it's a good restaurant overall. read more

I am so pleased to have a decent asian buffet in Clovis. The only issue I really had was temp of the food and the bbq steamed buns kept dissapearing before I got to them. Price was amazing for the variety and quality of the food. I got hot tea for my children and I, and it was brought without mugs, are we supposed to drink it from the carafe? Other than that, love the huge variety, the soups, dim sum and mongolian bbq. My DAd would have loved this place! But I did avoid the sushi, I'm not a fan of buffett sushi, and avoided anything raw like the oysters. read more

Please please save yourself from this place! I wish I would have never wasted money here. We were looking to try something new and for some odd reason after driving by this place we decided to try it. I have to admit we walked up to the door and then turned around and walked back to car. After 2 minutes we decided to stay but it was a mistake. This place is sooo DIRTY! The bathroom was disgusting and the toilet seat was falling off. The food was old and cold. The only thing that was okay was the sushi but you could tell that it had been sitting for a LONG time. The soda and tea even tasted bad here. Overcharged and poor customer service. I will never return and I'm so glad I didn't get sick. read more

Definitely never going back. They probably didn't have any AC running because they had fans in the main room but none in the other room where they put us. It was hot and humid. After the first time our server brought us our drink, she basically never came back to refill them. We asked another server and he told us he would go get our server but neither ever came back until we we went out to the main room to request for refills. We were there for dinner and the one thing they never had available was the crab legs. The first time I asked when they would be ready, they said in a couple of minutes. 30 minutes later I went back and asked again (yes, I basically watched the buffet line to see if any came out the whole time). This time he didn't even answer me, went to the back, and brought like 15 crab legs out and they were all cold already. Dinner during the weekday is $14.99 per adult, plus $2.75 for drinks other than water. Kids 11 & over are counted as adults. Their sushi sucks too. I wouldn't go back ever. This isn't the first time they've disappointed us. When they first opened, the food and service were good and there were no complaints. But now, it's definitely a different story. One too many bad reviews. read more

Horrible service , rush you out ! Change the prices on you for eating a all you can eat fish that's out on the floor Just a poor place to eat Did I forget the hot an melted drinks Food was good though read more
