Sushi, hibachi, seafood, dim sum, noodles, salads, American comfort food for the unadventurous -- it's all here. And then there's the monstrous dessert island in the center, stacked with cakes, ice cream, bubble waffles, fruit, a chocolate fountain, and more things than you can reasonably justify eating in one visit. The seating area looks like it could handle a small stadium crowd, yet the flow is shockingly smooth. Even with hundreds of people inside, the buffet lines never feel chaotic -- unless lobster or crab legs appear, at which point all laws of physics and courtesy temporarily stop applying. The one real weak spot is the bathrooms. It's obvious the staff focuses their energy on flipping tables and keeping the buffet spotless, because the restrooms don't get the same attention. They're not disastrous, but they're definitely the least polished part of the experience. Large parties and celebrations are almost always happening -- sometimes several at once -- but they're impressively non‑disruptive. The place is loud, lively, and busy, but never in a way that ruins your meal.

Our server explained how the ordering worked, and they had little robots bringing the food over. They had a great variety of sushi options including handrolls, specialty rolls, nigiri, sashimi, and more. The fish wasn't fishy for the sashimi or other items which is always a big relief. We ended up getting the gold option which included the sashimi and nigiri options. So if you're into raw fish, we highly recommend getting that dining option. They also had a mini salad and fruit bar, but because we came closer to closing they weren't as stocked up as I assume they would be during peak hours. Overall if you're hungry and looking for a good deal, highly recommend checking this place out. I believe they do reservations for future dates but not same day reservations.

Upon walking in, there's a drink station with Mango Juice and Thai Tea. They also have a buffet bar with sides and desserts. For the All You Can Eat option, there's silver and gold based on the options you want on the menu. You can order up to 15 items every 15 minutes with a 90 minute cap no matter how small or big your party is. Service comes with a mixture of a person bringing out the items alongside these robots that also deliver your order. With that being said, I've been here a few times ever since moving to the area the past year and the staff has always been very friendly and I appreciate the consistency of the items throughout each of the visits. Our go to are the Seared Salmon along with the Unagi Bowl. The way the sear the fish and add just the right amount of sauce makes those our go to. With more and more visits, we've come to know which items we want to select for our rounds. The decor is cool with the floating umbrellas and the lively music playing.

The kitchen seemed to be no one in it, the only two server had to walk through all store, and the second round of all you can eat seafood boil took almost 40mins. Although the server sincerely apologized, but it is still very confusing that why seafood boils could take that long time. The chowder was great, but it didn't come with crackers. Also about the flavors, cajun garlic is too sweet, Thai chili and house special similar with a sour & spicy taste. The house special is too sweet. They seem use frozen seafood and the second round of seafood had some smell. The first round had way too much small crab legs. The floor is a little bit sticky. And it seems that they don't have a drink menu. I hope they could do better because I really like seafood and hope there are more great seafood restaurants in Seattle. So, I still give a 3 stars rating for encouraging them to do better.

Finally getting around to completing my review…read more Hubby and I went before a Seahawks game and were very disappointed in the long wait time for a simple drink more than the wait time for a table. One of the two people behind the bar was brand new to being a bartender. I know it's hard to find employees they days but it was ridiculous to have someone brand new serving on game day. If you're going to do this I suggest a limited drink menu. Bottles & cans of beer and simple mixed drinks that don't take long to make. And for the wait for a table a couple that arrived after us was seated before us. As mentioned before a wait time sign would be a good idea. Also the host kept leaving the host stand and people would simply walk in. A sign saying wait to be seated would be good. Finally on to the food. The fish of the fish and chips were very small. More like nuggets than filets of fish. I had asked for an extra tartar sauce when placing our order and didn't receive it. Had to flag down a server to get another. Also ordered water we never received. The fried shrimp were tasty and while the bed of greens was a nice touch since we didn't receive silverware and there wasn't dressing it was a complete waste. I pointed out the trip hazard to a manger and she did cover it with a rug. This was a good temporary solution but watch out as your leaving that you don't trip.

I was asking my friend that I'm visiting up here if there were any Chinese buffets that are so…read morecommon in CA. He said there was this one called Mandarin Buffet and Grill. So off we go to check it out. It's right off the freeway, I forget which one since I'm not driving. The buffet is located in a shopping center with lots of parking. I think there's a Thai restaurant across the parking lot from here. We go in and wow, this is a nicer buffet than most other one's I've been to. The dining area is very large and clean. I see the prices on a sign. Looks like about $30 for dinner, plus they add the tip of 10%. I guess that's about standard to leave for a tip at a self serve buffet. We get seated and head up to the buffet. Looks like they have a big sushi section and a Mongolian grill section as well. Looking at all the food, I'd say the quality is better than most buffet I go to in CA. The dishes just look better. I'm gonna say in general, the food in the Seattle is a higher quality and more foodie oriented than down where I live. I even tried some of the sushi and it was seemed as good as any all you can eat place. Normally sushi at a buffet is something I avoid. I had ribs and some shellfish seafood and various other American Chinese foods. I did see a few more authentic dishes that I couldn't exactly tell what it was, so I guess it means it was authentic! The price was a little higher than what I'm used to, but the quality and size of the buffet made it worth it.

Food has improved and there are more varieties now, which was nice to see. Lunch is about $21 but…read morewith the automatic 10% service charge it comes out to over $23 + tax. Because they charge the 10% upfront, it really felt like the servers weren't motivated to check on tables. My hot water cup stayed empty most of the meal, and I couldn't find anyone to refill it. The dim sum area was also mostly empty. Chicken feet, shrimp dumplings, and other items were gone for long stretches, and some dishes looked like they hadn't been refreshed in a while. Several entrées were empty and not refilled promptly. They also charge extra for soda, coffee, and tea, which adds even more to the cost. If you live on the Eastside and want Chinese food with some sushi without driving far, this place is convenient. But if you have time, I'd skip this and go to Feast Buffet in Renton -- it's much bigger, has way more variety, includes drinks in the price.

Teriyaki is to Seattle what Pizza (or halal carts) are to NYC, Burritos and KBBQ are to Los Angeles, Italian Beef Sandwiches are to Chicago and so on and so on, If you are not from or spent any time in Seattle and have had something called teriyaki, you had only a pale imitation as one must come here to experience the real authentic and transcendently delicious thing. If I had a gun to my head, and was forced to pick a favorite of the two teriyaki shops I tried, I would have to give a very slight edge to this spot, over the nearby and also very excellent, (and previously reviewed) Okinawa Teriyaki. In all fairness to Okinawa it most be noted that I ordered differently here than there. This time around, other than the standard regular chicken teriyaki/beef teriyaki combo I opted for the spicy chicken option, alongside the beef teriyaki and side of gyoza that I got the previous time. So not surprisingly the spicy chicken had bolder flavors and more of a kick than Okinawa's regular chicken, though still well within the realms of tolerability to all but the most spice-averse. I would say however that the beef was also significantly more flavor packed and perhaps of a slightly higher quality than Okinawa's, and here was served more finely sliced, in a manner that produced slightly more tender melt in our mouth beef than the stringier beef at Okinawa. The chicken was also perfectly juicy on the inside and crispy smokey, caramelized and charred on the outside. This was across the board a much saucier affair however, as both proteins had clearly been treated with a very healthy second saucing post grilling. The Gyozas were a bit larger than Okinawa's here, but just as deftly fried with an addictive crunchiness and no sogginess. One small caveat here I would note was that they give an excessively large side order of rice here, so much so that I still had rices leftover even AFTER using it so soak up the significant excess amount of sauce from the meats. This would easily have been remedied if I had taken the lovely ladies offer of an extra cuplet of sauce, which I would have never thought necessary when first glancing at that super saucy combo. While my maiden teriyaki experience with Okinawa was, like surely many others a product of following the advice of the now legendary listings of Seattle Teriyaki parlors by the great local food expert J. Kenji López-Alt. my experience here was the happy byproduct of relative chance, aided by a quick yelp cross reference. I was lucky enough to stumble upon this place and grab a crucially quick to-go combo on my way to the central train station to take the Amtrak down to Portland Oregon, the day after the election. The yelp reviews looked legit enough for me to take the chance on the clean, super bright spot with decidedly much warmer service than Okinawa, and devour the heaping platter of saucy, flavorful teriyaki and popping fresh gyoza while enjoying another lovely scenic trek down the rails of the Pacific Northwest and for a few moments anyway convince myself all was well in my beautiful country, and try to block out the encroaching darkness on the horizon, if only for a few minutes.
