The hot food was a little bland, spicy chicken wasn't very spicy. The sushi and crab was amazing. Good selection of desserts. Staff were friendly and attentive. read more

The sushi was so good and you can get raw food and let them cook it for you. It was so darn good I would totally recommend it.

Great Japanese and Chinese buffet for the price. Restaurant and serving areas were clean. Large variety of sushi and Chinese food including salad, dessert bar and ice cream freezer. Servers were attentive and water glasses kept full. It's nice to have buffets available again after the Covid closures. I'll be back. Lunch buffet a bargain at $12.99...$11.99 for seniors over 60 years old. read more

See all

I'm not a buffet person, at all, but this place is utterly extraordinary. Their weekend buffet has exceptional amounts of seafood and fish to choose from. Several shrimp options, several fish options, crab legs, crawfish, beautiful nigiri and sushi rolls. The food is fresh and shockingly fabulous. Service is also unbelievable. You won't find a better bargain. read more

They need a sanitation inspection immediately!! Apparent the owner is extremely rude, and showed no respect to the customers.

They are very clean. That's all they have going for them. The food didn't have much flavor. The peanut butter chicken was the exception and was the one thing I was able to eat. read more

Plates were not clean. Kept switching them out and every one of them was dirty. Food was not good to me, although others in my group seemed to like it. read more

Food all seemed fresh enough, and the service was good. Food taste was mediocre - I tried a couple types of uramaki rolls and they were just fine. The General Tso's chicken was super dry, and the noodles, peanut butter chicken and general Tso's all tasted too sweet and pretty much the same. Potstickers and tiny spring rolls were Costco-type and were fine. Broccoli in sauce was pretty fresh and was good. Will not go back. read more

The food is good overall however it's not over the top good like the place is nice and clean and the service is amazing but it's just the food read more

My grandmother and her two sister stopped by on Friday 11/18/2022 for lunch. All three of them had sudden food poisoning while still eating their food. She mentioned that her and her sister all had salads and ate some fruit when all the sudden they had the urge to go to the bathroom. All three of them had diarrhea from eating there. Today, being Sunday, still have diarrhea. They said the food was good but will never go back there due to their first time eating there, they got food poisoning. read more

One of the workers was seen not washing there hands in the bathroom and then we saw that same worker laying out food without gloves. They make you tip for service when all they do is take you to a table. At the beginning the host unclearly said the price for an adult making us think it was cheaper than what it really was. Never eat here read more

Went in for dinner at 8pm on Monday. The place was not empty but not busy at all. The sushi was mostly empty and looked like it had all been sitting there for hours! The rest of the food in the hot sections was not fresh either... the potstickers were stale, the general Tso chicken was some kind of soggy orange chicken, the pepper beef tasted weird, soggy, and old. The crabs and mussels looked scary! The fruit in the fruit bar was bad! The mandarin orange slices were moldy, the bananas had turned black, the cantaloupe was mushy. The salad looked like it was days old. The serving utensils had old food stuck on them that was different from what they were being used for. Their Mongolian bbq thing was gross. The cabbage was turning black, the pork was slimy and looked spoiled, the chicken was grey. I did try the beef as it actually looked fresh. They guy doing the cooking asked me if I wanted my food spicy and I said NO more than once and explained that I have ulcers and can't handle spicy food. He actually then went so far as stopping me from getting the sauce for their potstickers because it was spicy. But when I got my food from him it was so spicy I couldn't eat it! You could literally see where sriracha had been squirted all over it as it cooked!!! We were there for an hour and saw nothing refilled and the same food, sushi included sitting there from the time we walked in as when we left! If something was empty it just sat empty. The kicker was the people that run the place were sitting at the table closest to the door eating takeout from another restaurant!!!! You know it's bad when they don't eat their own food! I will say the waitress was on it with the drink refills though. But in reality this was by far the worst food I've ever eaten in my entire life! Like they should get an award it was so bad. read more

It's actually a really nice buffet. Not a huge selection but it was fresh and well prepared. The usual Chinese hot buffet items, soups, rice, chow mein, chicken, beef and pork dishes were all done well along with spring rolls, potstickers etc. There is a nice Mongolian barbecue style section and apparently a lot of sushi but I'm not a fan of sushi soooo. A few salads and desserts as well. The staff was very friendly and attentive and the place was very clean and bright. We'll definitely be back. read more

Interior was clean, service was as expected for a new restaurant. FOOD HOWEVER, was very disappointing. Trays were empty and cold. Went after lunch but before dinner so it was as busy so I don't get why they were out of certain foods. Food was also bland. The kind of asian catered towards those who never tasted spring rolls or mussels before. Desserts were ice cream cups and what looked like cut up birthday cake from WinCo. There are more asian restaurants you could go to for cheaper and higher quality food. Not worth your $18.99 read more

Just meh. Not awful but sushi wasn't cold, peanut butter chicken had so many granules (of I assume sugar?) It was not edible.

BEWARE! Really like this place and will be back - but NOT ON WEEKENDS. Prices are jacked up sky high on weekends.

There just seems to be something missing. I was really wanting to have a salad with my dinner but their only offering was lettuce and dressing. No tomatoes or anything else to add to your salad. This was our second trip here. Our first was when they just opened and had the 50% off deal going on. We weren't really impressed then but thought we would give them another try. Sorry but still not impressed. read more

One star for cleanliness. Another for quick entry. All the hype and anticipation for "Japanese" food, only to be once again disappointed with typical Chinese buffet fare, that lacked flavor and were often cold. There were also a few empty trays e.g., miso soup and white rice--staples in a Japanese meal. Considering the elevated "weekend buffet" price, you're better off going to Great Wall Buffet in South Salem. Not worth your time and money. read more

We were happy to hear Salem was getting some new restaurants. We are not big buffet eaters, but do like sushi and hibachi. We waited several weeks after their grand opening as we read on Salem Eats that it was disasterous probably because they were new and they were inundated with customers. My husband and I went on a Thursday lunch opening and it was very clean, quiet, Maybe only able 4 tables occupied. The buffet line was very clean, everything was bright, fresh, piled high and very appetizing. The food was plentiful and delicious! We returned today, a Sunday for seafood dinner and there was a line of people waiting to pay, a line of people waiting to be seated. Once we were seated, there was people standing in front of all the food options waiting for food to come out! There was also a line for the hibachi grill. No line no waiting at the salad bar though, lol! Out of 9 platters of sushi only three plates had a few pieces. As we waited in line the few people in front of us wiped out the sushi. They were out of 3/4 of the items! We tried the green beans they were delicious. Went for seconds and they were gone, when they came out again they were so heavily salted they were inedible. We tried the spicy fish on Sunday and it was so good, had a Rich red sauce full of flavor. Today the fish was empty each time we went to get some, finally it came out but the sauce was not as red as it was on Sunday, not as rich and colorful, seemed watered down but yet over salted. The sushi is amazing, you pretty much had to stand in line to wait for your food. The floor staff was very pleasant and quick to clear plates. Was not anticipating a long dinner time, spend most of the time waiting fir food. then had to wait to pay. The bathrooms were trashed. Weekend prices for seafood... but never got any, they were always out, people in front were taking more than a share. Will stick to weekday lunches. read more

The peanut butter chicken was carrying HARD besides that everything else was just gross

Worst customer service ever!! You are never treated like a human. They speak Chinese, don't thank you and don't ask how the food was. All they want is their money and the price is not good anyway. They have lost a customer because of their lack of treatment. read more

Went to try it again to see if it had improved and left disappointed. Food wasn't great at all the chicken was very hard and the calamari was very over salted. Won't be back sadly. read more

I more wanted to write this because of how many people were trying to give this buffet a poor review. I honestly would put the buffet at a 4.5 but it really is fantastic. There are so many options for sushi and also for Chinese food in general that I didn't even get to the middle grill section. From living in Salem my whole life, I find it hilarious that people expect a fancy 5 star buffet wherever they go or they read a sign that says that it is a "Japanese and Chinese Buffet" to then somehow infer that it is all about the Mongolian grill aspect, which by the way there is a great location for that nearby if you weren't as impressed. It's not to say that people can't have their own opinions, since that's what this is all about is sharing an opinion on the restaurant you went to, but I will say that we don't have very many good buffets here in this town and this place is clean, the service is attentive, and there is a wide enough selection to make it worth the price of either lunch or dinner, with or without drink included. At a minimum, it is definitely worth a try if you are into either Japanese or Chinese cuisine. read more
