    Good local buffet with many options. No complaints. They should increase their price on the weekend and offer crab legs lol

    Food was pretty good The people are pretty respectful and he made fresh food. For the beef and broccoli that I was getting.it was very clean inside as well

    My receipt...

    Don't even know where to start. Let's just say I won't be returning here ever again. Overall, all of the food tasted old. The one thing that stood out to me is how the waitress was stuffing wonton wrappers with raw pork bare handed and refilling drinks without washing her hands. That was extremely GROSS!! YUCK! Also, everything was mislabeled and confusing AF. To top it all off, they were pricey at $16.95 for lunch right after they opened at 11:00 am.

    Well, darn! Yichiban Buffet fell short of our expectations. Though this restaurant is 'help yourself at the trough' style buffet, you'll still have a server that'll bring drinks and bus the table. Our server was excellent. I didn't have to ask for a refill, and she kept the table clean. In general, the food service area was clean, and the food was refreshed before the food ran out. No complaints at all with their service. The food, well, is low quality, and tastes like every other all you can eat Chinese food restaurant. Nothing was really spicy, and nothing tasted freshly cooked. I did appreciate that I could have cantaloupe with my meal. That's really hard to get these days. The Szechuan Beef and Chicken was pretty good, but not spicy at all. Overall, the food is disappointing. The ambiance leans towards communal. You may have to wait at the trough for someone else to finish filling their plate(s). This restaurant is kid friendly, and the kid noise is hard to miss. And, why would someone come to any public place coughing up a lung? Seriously! Well, they were there. That's a HARD no for me! I get the impression Yichiban Buffet food was made fresh yesterday. It just seems lazy, like leftovers. If you want Chinese food you'll like, you might want to go elsewhere.

    The hibachi bar is open for business

    Yichiban Buffet This is one of my go-to stops for buffets in the Euless area. It's right off of 183 and industrial rd, easy to get to. Now for the price they offer a hibachi Grill, fresh sushi and the buffet is always pretty nicely stocked. You definitely get your money's worth here.

    Good but not great, They do have a decent variety, they even have some items that I have never seen on other buffets But with a few exceptions the quality was severely lacking. I know I know it's a buffet but I have been to some quality buffets, Such as King Buffet just down the road That has higher quality standards and is comparable in price. Just to give you an example of what I'm talking about, I went to the sushi bar and grabbed a few things that I later regretted because the sushi was room temperature/warm, now I am no sushi expert (And feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) but I feel like it should be kept cold because of the raw fish but I don't actually know. But what I do know is On top of it being room temperature it also smelled extremely fishy compared to other Sushi I have had in the past So I personally will not risk it again and if I ever re-visit this Buffet I will more likely than not stick to the hot dishes. With that in mind one Hot dish in particular that I did like that I have never seen on any other Buffet was deep-fried crispy pork which was amazing and I ate quite a bit of it. All in all, it wasn't horrible or anything and I'm not going to say I wouldn't eat there again because I do love me some Buffet and there is a video arcade In the same parking lot which makes it that much more enticing for a visit So who knows I may be riding a follow-up review to this one sometime in the near future that Includes somewhat of a better experience

    I read that the lunch buffet opens at 2pm, is that correct or does it open earlier?

    The restaurant is only a buffet. So the lunch buffet opens at the same time as the restaurant.

    Are the crab legs only on the weekends?

    The add stays- Friday & Saturday night crab legs

    How the heck does a restaurant put HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS ON CHILDREN?!

    Is it good?

    Yes it was

    Terrific value - the restaurant does feel a little dated compared other Brazilian steakhouses but…read morethe servers are so attentive and friendly. It definitely felt like a family restaurant, I'm sure there are people who come regularly. We loved having all the meat cuts available, rather than paying extra for premium cuts. I loved the tender prime rib and juicy lamb. Some of the meats were a bit tough, and the beef rib was a bit chewy, but everything was tasty. The grilled pineapple was generous, but a little tart.. I think I'm used to a heavier coating of sugar. The shrimp mix and marinated mushrooms in the salad bar provided the perfect palate cleansers between the heavy meats. We finished off the night by splitting a slice of tres leches cake that was divine! I'd definitely recommend that if you want a little something sweet

Why is this place rated so high? It had us fooled and I am slightly upset lol I would give it a 1 star which I never did before but I bumped up to a 2 because of the nicest hostess and waitress lol she is so kind so sweet which made me feel bad because the quality of the food is not her fault. I don't think she even knows or maybe she does. I don't think so. Upon entering I smelled an odor already. I discounted that. We sat down and was excited to order lunch items. We ordered quite a few but it took a LONG time to come. Like 15mins :/ as we watch the clock tick away because they close 2:30 and it's already 1 and we haven't gotten our food. So many things are wrong idk where to begin. Too much rice for one. Ahi tower is all rice. Nigiri is all rice. Tuna wasn't fresh. Mackerel is cardboard. Salmon was ok. Surf clam and octopus was edible. All other fish is chewy n fishy. The fried stuff is ok. We ordered calamari twice. The rolls were horrid I am sorry. I've never had rolls this bad. It fell apart, nothing rolled inside and was all wrong. Idk if you can tell from the pics but it's wrong. A child must have rolled it. I went to the restroom to look at who rolled it too. I feel so bad but I am in shock what a bad experience this place was. I wanted to like it so bad because we were hungry, the reviews were good and even a friend said it was ok and her parents came a lot so I did not expect this. The ice cream was good and I ate more calamari but even the udon and ramen tasted like it came from a package. Not authentic at all. The taoyaki was raw. The karate was from a box. The katsu was ok. Edamame was ok. The cat robot was cute and the place was pretty but again what happened to the food? It's probably the worse sushi I've had. Even worse than this place I had in Austin which I wouldn't go back. It wasn't fresh and the quality was so bad :( I hope they read this review and make some changes because $21 for lunch should be better than this. Sushi Masa in Plano is better than this. There are so many other ayce sushi places in town. They must be fresher than this? Lesson learned... Yes we are disappointed but again willing to pay our share bc our hostess waitress Julie was so nice. Have to commend her for being so sweet amidst the horrible food

They have freshly made pita, pizza and Zaatar bread cooked in the oven. They also have some Indian curries which is very weird to me but it might work for others. They have some tea and coffee options to end your meal. The desserts consist of baklava or rice pudding etc Now coming to what doesn't work. The hygiene is a huge concern. I saw a guest put their bare hands in the pita basket, pick a pita and then put it back in the basket with others. The buffet area is not commonly cleaned with food bits everywhere. Some customers were touching things and cross contaminating the main dishes. I know it's not the same with the Plano location so I hope manager of this location pays attention to their patrons and ensure basic hygiene standards are followed. I was overwhelming grossed out from it and don't think will ever be back to this location. Ambiance is loud as well with kids screaming and running all around the restaurant, so overall it's a pass for me.
