    Pretty solid Chinese buffet at a cheap price point! They have the standard Chinese buffet foods from sesame chicken to spring rolls to sushi, and all the foods were pretty warm and fresh. I especially enjoyed the sushi, as there was salmon and other good sushi selections for lunch. I did think most of their dishes were quite salty though, and their desserts were kind of mid. The service was pretty quick and frequent, which was nice. I would say this is a good place for a large variety for not too much money, especially in comparison to a lot of the other touristy restaurants in downtown Savannah.

    Visited my friend in Savannah, from Charleston, so went to this phenomenal all-you-can-eat sushi and more buffet, at $11.99 per person. It was amazing how much there was! The food was delicious. They offered everything under the sun...sushi, hibachi, hot and cold seafood, stir-fry, rice, soup, noodles, fruit, veggies, dessert. The service and ambiance were great. My only complaint was there was no low-sodium soy sauce available at all. Had to take extra blood-pressure medication, due to having to use full-sodium soy sauce. Otherwise, it was a great experience! Highly recommend!

    Just about the best selection of sushi I have ever seen on a buffet anywhere. This place is seriously awesome and the rest of the buffet is great too.

    Will never go to this business establishment ever again

    I was very disappointed when a manager prohibited me and my service animal from entering the restaurant. Despite showing valid credentials, he insisted my medical helper was not a service animal. When he seemed unsure of what to say next, he brought in another person to translate in Vietnamese -- which I understood enough to realize they simply did not want us there. I left feeling discriminated against and deeply embarrassed.

    I am more than happy with what you get for your money here. At $13 for a weekday lunch buffet it's cheaper than fast food, and you can eat as much as you want of their many diverse options. The food quality is, well, buffet quality. But there is a selection of items, including a salad, bar, sushi, the traditional items, and I think they have a hibachi in the back, but I didn't see anyone working there. Every item was kept filled.

    The food options and combination is good. The service is stand, I have no complaints. The restaurant has a cafeteria vibe.

    Arrived Sunday just after opening. Food was out and hot. Workers were friendly and polite. Very nice koi pond. Servers kept the old plates removed from the tables. They also kept the drinks full. They have several employees who walk around with radios and tell the kitchen what food is getting low. Great place to take hungry kids. They can eat a lot and not drive the food bill up.

    "Sakura" is a popular name for a restaurant in Savannah but I was definitely at Sakura Buffet today where I stuffed my face. Lots of variety here and it was fresh stuff. A well cared-for buffet with surprisingly good sushi and several high protein items on the steam tables. Sure, you can get the fried and they have plenty of that but if you're looking for decent food that won't leave you anything but satisfied, Sakura gets it done.

    You don't often find historic restaurants--or places that could easily be dismissed as tourist…read moreattractions--that also serve truly outstanding food. Because of that, I came in with fairly low expectations, but I left thoroughly impressed. The restaurant has a fascinating history and a great atmosphere, but what really stood out was the quality of the food. We started with a couple of appetizers, and every one of them was excellent. For our entrees, we tried the shrimp and grits and the fried seafood platter. The shrimp and grits were exceptional. The sauce had incredible depth of flavor, the grits were perfectly smooth and creamy, and the shrimp were cooked just right--tender, delicate, and never rubbery. The fried seafood platter was equally impressive. The white fish had a light, crisp breading that enhanced the flavor without overpowering it. The fish itself was moist, flaky, and cooked perfectly. The fried oysters practically melted in your mouth, with none of the graininess that fried oysters can sometimes have. The fried shrimp were outstanding as well--so good that several people at our table couldn't resist stealing a few from my plate! Our server was fantastic. He offered excellent recommendations, described each dish in detail, answered all of our questions, and checked on us regularly throughout the meal without ever being intrusive. We also enjoyed learning about the restaurant's history from a tour group that passed through while we were dining. Before leaving, we browsed the gift shop, which had a nice selection of pirate-themed memorabilia at very reasonable prices. Overall, this was an outstanding dining experience. I came for the history but would happily return for the food alone.

It is one of the city's oldest buildings and originally served as an inn and gathering place for sailors and pirates. I would give the overall experience 3 stars mainly because the food did not live up to the setting. I'll admit, I kind of had a feeling looking at the buffet that it might not be the highlight, but I really wanted fried chicken, so I went for it. If you visit, I would recommend ordering à la carte rather than doing the buffet. The buffet was underwhelming - the fried chicken was decent and the mashed potatoes were good, but most of the other dishes were forgettable. The à la carte options looked much more appealing, and I would lean toward the sandwiches and burgers based on what I saw. The complimentary biscuits were also great That being said, the service was impeccable. The staff was friendly, attentive, and really helped make the experience enjoyable. The actual house is the highlight. Take some time to walk around and explore the different rooms - the historic details, atmosphere, and character are what make this place worth visiting.

    The reviews for this restaurant are a bit deceptive, because this is a case where you have to…read moreadjust your expectations. But once you do, you will find this to be a very adequate buffet experience. First of all, this restaurant is tucked in the corner of a strip mall located in a larger complex with multiple Asian dining options, including two different. Korean restaurants. But they are plenty of parking spaces. So you shouldn't have any issue here. The restaurant is not extremely large but has plenty of seating. And on the Saturday afternoon that we visited we were immediately seated. Now the restaurant is a bit dated, and the booth we were in definitely shows some wear and tear with both bench seats having the vinyl split right down the middle. There are a couple of TVs on running Fox News, and the dining room is relatively quiet with just the chatter from other tables and booths. The selection of food is pretty good given the size of the restaurant and the overall price point. They have pre prepared sushi, hibachi and a plethora of fried food options,both on the Chinese and American side. They have a small dessert menu, but not much in terms of options. They have a pretty impressive fresh bar with fresh peeled shrimp, mussels, and oysters, which I was a bit, surprised to see. The oysters were refreshed while we were there, so I decided to try a couple and they weren't bad at all. I'm usually a bit nervous about trying oysters at buffet, but they did a good job of keeping them really iced and chilled. Service was also really good with the owner greeting new customers as they walked in and our server staying on top of our drinks and picking up our empty plates promptly. And the best thing about this place is the price. For two people our total bill came to a little bit over $40. This is a really good value given the variety and the service. Definitely will be a standard in my rotation of buffets here in Savannah.

    We had a chance to visit 912 Korean BBQ and hot pot last weekend. We were looking for something…read morecasual but filling for dinner and because we had not tried out this place yet but had driven by several times, we decided to check it out. Definitely a great decision on a hunch. This is an all you can eat hot pot concept and frankly my first time attending this version. While I have visited hibachi restaurants in the past, this is not that. Basically this is a dual table side prep concept where you can either make your own custom soups and broths, and hot pot seafood or you can select the grill and grill of a variety of fresh meats and fish and vegetables, or you can get both. Both come with a small dessert bar and seem to be accompanied with the additional Fresh salad and sauce bar, although I'm not quite sure if one of those may have been restricted if you did the grill only or the hot pot only. Pricing is pretty fair at about $30 a person which rises to mid 30s if you decide to get both options. We went with the combo because we had never tried this concept before, but in the future, I may lean more towards the grill option only. Especially if I'm not in the mood for hot pot or soup. But I definitely enjoyed the combination choice for our first visit. The meat and vegetable selections at this restaurant are pretty vast and this is after the server first sets you up and allows you to pick from several different types of broth for your hot pot. In addition, they have a sauce bar that must've had 20+ sauces available to choose from. I think one of the most overwhelming aspects of this concept is lack of familiarity with the right combinations of hot pot and grilled options. For this we leaned heavily on our server and she did a great job of guiding us through a couple of her favorite combinations, as well as some of the favorite combinations of other patrons. This was really helpful because there isn't a menu or chart to help you unlock all of the really cool combinations that you can put together including Ramen udon and Thai soup varieties. All of the ingredients you need to make any of those dishes, but in your own customize version, are here to your heart's desire. Service is really good as they do switch out the grills rather rapidly as they will get charred and start to burn and smoke after three or four rounds of fresh meats and veggies slapped on them. However, they do not switch out your broth choice so once you make your choice, that's what you're rolling with for the rest of the dinner. All in all we were really satisfied with the freshness and the preparation of most of the ingredients and sauces. I did think the dessert bar was a little weak given the multitude of options elsewhere, but I also understand that this is consistent with the cultural preferences, which don't skew as heavy on traditional sweets, like American taste do. All in all this is definitely a treat for those looking for a great date night or just looking to take the family out for a really engaging and tasty cook at your table experience - all you can eat style!

Our Uber driver highly recommended Sorry Charlie's, so we decided to give it a try. Our first visit was genuinely pleasant, which is why we came back. However, our second visit was ruined by an encounter with the manager. This person was extremely rude and dismissive--I'm genuinely shocked she works in the service industry. We arrived for dinner and were told there would be a 10-20 minute wait, which we agreed to. After approximately 20 minutes, the manager stormed across the restaurant and yelled at us as if we were children, demanding we not stand by the hostess stand. We had never been instructed to wait elsewhere. My wife reacted as anyone would have and expressed her frustration. The manager then escalated the situation, exchanged words with us, and ultimately kicked us out while threatening to call the police. Hoping to resolve things professionally, I returned the next morning to have a mature conversation about the incident. The manager's response was condescending: "You guys are brave coming back in here." This unprofessional comment from management spoke volumes. The food quality is excellent and the staff is great, but this manager is a significant problem. She is unsuited for customer service and needs to find work elsewhere.
