    Food/Taste/Flavor: 5/5 - fairly typical Chinese buffet that was actually better than we expected! They had sushi rolls that actually contained sliced fish rather than just cream cheese, California rolls, or spicy tuna mix. For such a small place, they had a great selection of food with some decent ribs, amazing salt and pepper shrimp, okay clams, and a hot and sour soup with a nice kick. Service: 4/5 - friendly cashier but the waitresses cleaning tables were quite inconsistent. At one point there was 5 or 6 plates stacked before they cleared our table. Ambiance: 4/5 - the buffet set-up of the restaurant was a bit odd as there was fairly little space between the food lines and the sushi area was completely off in a different area. They sat us in the back room with the families and children so we had to listen to screaming kids for the entire meal... Value for price: 5/5 - at $14.99 for lunch, it was a great price for surprisingly good food.

    One of the Best Chinese buffets I've been to the real surprise were the crab legs they were nice size and the meat was firm and sweet. The place was clean and the buffet was always kept full. 5 Stars plus the price was reasonable and the oysters looked really good. Clean bathrooms was a bonus plus a minute off of the highway

    Group of 7. Pre charged fee on bill. When questioning discovered it was for 10%... Not one of us would have paid 23.99 ever for this food. Service/ staff pleasant . But at $25 for a Saturday lunch please upgrade your Manila pricing signage. SMH (4/20/24!)

    Pile on the seafood!

    YUM!! BEST CHINESE BUFFET IN SOUTHERN UTAH!!! Go on a Friday or Saturday when they have crab legs. Cost is higher but worth it for the extra sea food. Fresh, raw, Oysters, snow crab, at least 4 different shrimp dishes.. the black pepper chicken is amazing! I wish the clams had a sauce or gravy but I guess you can always spoon on the sauce you want.. the dessert is pretty decent for a Chinese buffet. Usually it's just ice cream and some lame cookies, etc.. but this place has good lemon meringue pie! The banana cream dessert is good to top other desserts with! Don't forget about the sushi bar! I always fill up before I get there, but it's a good sushi selection. Mouth is watering already.. can't wait to go back!

    Sushi, egg drop soup, little bit of this and that.

    Honestly, I love ocean buffet. I usually go during lunch because the price is a little better and the sushi/food is constantly fresh. I love this restaurant and have never gotten sick. It's been a great experience for both taste, and customer service. The workers are all very kind and I'm happy to give them my business. Prices have raised a lot in the last couple of years, but so has everything else/food. So it's not a surprise, and they still do a great job.

    The ribs oh yeah!

    Lets talk about Ocean Buffet, I was amazed for a small buffet they had a great variety of seafood, sushi, fried food, even fruits and Tiramisu yes desserts. Oh and Ice cream too! The ribs were good meat falls of the bone. The fried chicken well is not excellent yet it was good for consumption. Sushi is made by the chef daily. yes a sushi chef in a buffet! Bathrooms are really clean. Service is friendly and helpful. Guys thanks for making me feel welcome and feeding my inner fat kid. I had like what 4 plates Yes total cheat day. Ocean buffet you are Cintron Approved!

    $11 buffet, big variety of American Chinese food, but most of it was extremely mediocre/not very good. I wouldn't go again.

The reservation was written down for 730pm. The host team did the best they could and had us seated in 15 minutes. Good recovery. Our server, Bailey, was kind and friendly. She was quick on drinks, soups, and salads. We waited quite a while for the Hibachi chef to arrive. A solid 30 minutes. He was great and made it fun. The chef, Bailey, and others apologized many times for the slow service. We were still having a nice time until the bill came. We looked at each other (the 5 of us) and said, "No dessert? Nothing was offered. No menu provided. Big miss! So we just paid the bill, tipped well, and left. There was a $45 discount on the bill that wasn't mentioned so I suspect this was the slow service or was it for not offering dessert? The hosts were friendly on the way out as well. This was definitely a 3-star experience on this trip, but we have had 5-star experiences in the past. This is the reason for the 4-star rating. If you're having a 5-star experience, the price is right, but it's a little pricey when it's a 3-star experience. Really great people at Sakura. A very clean and beautiful restaurant.

They were super friendly, and I was excited to try the lettuce wraps when I got home. They were sooooo tasty, and just what I was craving! I'm going back, I'm going to try the sesame chicken!

    Final restaurant for this short trip to Utah. Decided to try Chinese... Why not…read more. Clean and friendly staff, got sat right away. Menu was interesting with different options from different parts of Asia. Ordered shrimp Bakmi Goreng noodle. Never had this dish and I read the description online and sounded yummy. Ordered basil chicken and orange chicken also. Food came pretty quick and chicken dishes came with white rice. I looked at my noodle dish and first thing popped in my head was.... "hmm didn't look like that online and sure looks like typical stir fried noodle.". Took my first bite and yup, tasted like typical soy sauce seasoned noodle dish.... Looking at the basil chicken dish and first thing I noticed was not a single fresh basil leaves in the dish. Tasted the dish and again very blend seasoning with hint of basil flavor. Definitely not like basil chicken or beef dish I ordered from my local Thai or Chinese restaurants back home. Tried the orange chicken. It did have crispy chicken except it was more on the sweet and sour flavor and not orange flavor. Oh well, it is what it is. At least I didn't leave here hungry. I definitely would not be coming here (I mean I don't live here but if I ever pass through here again) and I could not recommend this place.

My husband ordered the Chicken Pad Thai and I ordered the Garlic Chicken & broccoli. We shared an order of Rangoons. If I'm being perfectly honest the food was just ok IMO. I purposely ordered my dish with no sauce bc I don't care for my food to be swim in a sodium, sugar & oil mixture masking whatever flavor the protein & veggies present on their own. I actually WANT to taste them. I didn't expect my mind to be blown by my dish for that reason. I knew what I was getting & honestly my food was very good. The chicken breast was good quality, cooked nicely and cut into small bite sized pieces as was the broccoli. Just what I wanted. Now I DID want to splurge a bit which is why we got the fried stuff too. Now for the not so impressive part. The stuff that was supposed to blow my mind bc it was fried, came with sauce and lots of spice just fell flat. The Rangoons had very little flavor. They were even slightly under cooked it seemed. The corners were the only part that were crispy and the part closest to the middle was barely cooked. Not my fav. I like a very crispy rangoon. Maybe that's just my preference. I sampled my husband's pad Thai, also a bust. Hardly an spice or flavor. He ordered a 3 out of 5 and there was hardly any heat. Maybe my Vegas taste buds have been spoiled or maybe this is a different style of the Thai we're not used to. At any rate I'm only giving it 3 out of 5 stars based on the food itself. The restaurant was in an interesting looking built stone building & plaza and the interior was decorated with a pretty traditional Asian-Thai theme. This place was packed on a Sat night too! The locals must love it. There was a line of people waiting to be seated when we arrived. There are no complaints about the service. We called our order in for pick up. The man who took out order was polite and I believe he was the same host who was greeting people at the door. He was very busy but still gave great service with a smile. Again, this review is not a reflection of him. He was great. The food....just wasn't.
