I eat her often .... To often due in part to it being so convenient to where I live ..... I guess the down side is that often it's is crazy busy !!!! But that's not a downside to Yoki ! I have never had an issue here and the food has always been decent for a buffet ! read more

I was part of a large group and the service was excellent. We had separate checks and our server gave us each personalized, efficient, and friendly service. With a buffet, it can seem hectic but the server stayed well on top of our drinks and there were no complaints. The buffet was continuously restocked and all the foods were at the desired temperature, the "hots" were hot, and the "colds" were cold. If buffets are your thing this one has a great variety of items and spice levels. There is more than enough opportunity to find a dish you like. I especially liked the mushroom chicken, dumplings, octopus, egg rolls, -- oh heck I liked pretty much all of it. read more

Overall, pretty good Chinese buffet food. Service was great, quick and never left us needing drinks or our plates taken away. They have a good variety of options along with all the typical Chinese food (general tso, sesame chicken, crab rangoons...). They also have sushi and seafood and soups and a Hibachi Station. The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. The food was okay, the hot things should've been hotter and some of the dishes lacked flavor. For a buffet it was one of the better ones, but can still improve in flavor and hotness of dishes. read more

It's been years since I have gone to a buffet that wasn't at the Caesars Palace in Vegas but this local buffet in the boro was really good. The food was hot and fresh the whole time we were there (Sunday lunch). We showed up about 2 hours after opening and had a short wait but was very pleased at the selection and the quality. The hot foods and habachi grill was the best. The sushi is ok but the rice used seem a little mooshy. The food selection was nice, it had a little bit of everything- no crab legs though if that's what you're looking for. The prices did go up based on all past posting so be aware it's about $19 person on the weekends and that's the all day price so not lunch or dinner prices. Our server was awesome as she kept our table cleared and our drinks filled. This is a large restaurant and very accommodating to large parties as we had a group in front of us for 10+. It was well worth the trip especially if you have a large group to please everyone's palate. read more

First time here and I loved it! Great ambiance, warm welcome, and we were seated right away. The staff were super friendly, and the food--especially the seafood--was amazing! Can't wait to come back with friends and family! read more

This place is to expensive for not good food at all. Place is not clean and smells bad. The service is not good either and no one should come to this shit hole. The waitress was so annoying she never asked us how the food was or anything and just gave us a check without asking if we were done and charged us about $10 extra and couldn't understand a bit she said and was very noisy? Terrible experience. read more

Dine-in : Tuesday 5/16/23 5:45p We came to Yoki Buffet for dinner. Host was able to sat us right away. The foods was ok, I think out of all the buffet I tried in Nashville and the near by area, this is the best you can get. Today food was a bit cold, there not a lot of seafood options. The food bars can get pretty messy and unorganized. The price is varies base on lunch or dinner and weekday or weekend. If you looking for an affordable quick bite, this will definitely a place to go. Restaurant can be a bit noisy. All in all food was ok, service is pretty good but overall cleanliness is questionable. read more

The food was not as good as it was when I went last year its gone down in quality and the price of the buffet has gone up by one third.I don't like to give bad food reviews. The service was fantastic! The ladies are very friendly and helpful,the place is clean considering all of the traffic and chaos. It's just the food quality has gone down.I don't think I'll be going back. read more

I had dinner at Yoki Buffet on Sunday, January 29, 2023 at 4:30 pm. I came at 4 pm expecting it to be less busy than usual because it was between lunch and dinner peak times. However, there was still a decent wait time for a party of 7. For $17.95 per person at an all-you-can-eat Asian buffet, the value is pretty good for the variety of food options they offer. They have made-to-order hibachi grill, sushi, lots of seafood, and of course the "picky American" station that serves pizza, Mac and cheese, and French fries. I can see why Yoki's is a popular place for large families because I think it's economical. As far as quality goes, I think you get what you pay for. Yoki sacrifices food quality for quantity as many food options look average or subpar. To make your money worth, I'd recommend stuffing yourself with lots of seafood such as the crawfish, crabs, mixed seafood boil, and shrimps. The sushi looks exactly what you would expect at a sushi buffet - averagely rolled and not as fresh. The raw oysters were a hit and miss; I've had oysters that were passable and I've had some bad oysters that were quite smelly. Service was good. I think they do a good job clearing the empty plates frequently enough given how busy they were. I think Yoki could improve on their cleanliness since I noticed the uncovered back room where they refill drinks and deposit dirty dishes had a trash bin full of trash. It looked disorganized and just simply dirty. I don't even want to know what goes on in the back kitchen. Overall, would I come here for some decent food? Definitely not. Would I come here to feed numerous people for cheap? Sure. read more

Bad customer service, food is a day old, and the rice is quite stale. My family and I sat down for 30 minutes, the noisy Chinese waitress was extremely quick to bring us our check without even asking for it. And she kept coming to our table and asking, "Is everything okay?" And come on, lady, we were still eating.... Is this how she kicked guests out??? We're not coming back to this filthy place. I'm curious how the kitchen looks, considering the bathroom smells like sewage from the inside. This restaurant does not deserve a star from me, but I have no choice but to offer one in order to submit this review for other guests to view. read more

I wish the health food inspector would have been there today Cross contamination and the guy just removed the shrimp out of the chicken and didn't replace the meat. Cooked shellfish next to chicken I. Which I stated I'm allergic. Used the same spatula for no regards to the allergies. Yeah this is not a place to go they can't understand English or how people have shellfish allergies. If you don't care about life go for it read more

One of the best Hibachi buffets ive been to so far!!! Every single thing I put on my plate was a 10/10. I love how many options they have! Our server was so quick with refilling our drinks and grabbing our unwanted empty plates ahah. I definitely will be coming here again!! read more

Food was cold, things they advertised on the menu were not there. Threatening signs everywhere saying, "wasted food will be charged extra amount on your bill." The waitress that took care of our table was very good!! read more

This is my first time going to this place, and I LOVED it. It's a bit pricey but it's honestly worth it with how much food is there.

This place is not good . The food is nasty and the bread is hard as rocks. They expect you to only be there a small amount of time to eat also. They will stare at you until you pay and then tell you to leave. read more

I found hair and bugs in my food and drinks The server accused me and my friends of dining and dashing Just because of us being young, I would not recommend this place On top of this the server was so mean to us They cooked my meat raw read more

Food was delicious server was very considerate an kind staff was respectful everyone was very helpful as well

A super good buffet with many selections and fresh foods!! I was very happy with the sushi and dishes offered. I had 5 plates of food.... I couldn't stop. The soups were ok.... I didn't try the hibachi as there was a line. But the rest was great. Dishes and drinks were tended too often as well ...this is my new favorite buffet!! Going into M'boro isn't my favorite but this makes it a worthwhile trip. read more

I flat out just love the variety and it's always fresh bc it's so busy. The coconut shrimp on the weekends is by far the best I've ever had. I am a regular here & enjoy it every time. The sprite also hits different if you know what I mean. That good strong kick & full of flavor. No complaints on the food but the bathroom is always a mess pretty much every time I come so pop a squat or just hold it!!! I'm still coming back tho...enjoy!! read more

Came here today for lunch right when they opened up. Decent options with what you would find at most chinese buffets but did like their sushi options. Alot of the food all had the same flavors. For the price versus what your options are is alright. I mean if you super hungry and are going ot get a lot of plates then it would be beneficial for you but if your only going ot get a plate or two then its not worth the price. Place was super clean, placed people out accordingly so not super loud in there which was surprising considering how busy it was already. Staff was friendly and removed plates and did refills quickly. read more

STOP! WAIT! BEWARE! Waitress police running a scam with owners to charge you more money if you don't like the food you got and don't eat it. "All you can eat, not all you can take" is the sign they have but of course you don't want 2 day Old Food Reheated/refried. So you get it on your plate and don't want it! Very Poor service with rude personnel. Ambiance ruined by restaurant being dirty and unkept. Filthy sushi station never wiped down in between rolls, so you have fish eggs on everything whether it's supposed to be on the sushi that you chose or not. DISGUSTING! I wish I had pictures! read more

Absolutely the most rudest most disgusting experience I've never had. Amy our waitress was an utter bitch and completely rude to everyone at my table. Not to mention the food was not great at all. If you're thinking about stopping here for food. Keep on driving this place sucks ass read more

First time coming in. There are many options on the buffet which we enjoyed a lot. They could add more options for a salad bar but other than that it was great -tasty food and it stayed well restocked. Server was right around the corner to take our empty plates and give us refills if we needed them. I had a good experience for the first time and I'll be back. read more

Great food! Excellent service! Such a great variety of choices! You should never leave this restaurant hungry!

Our server Amy was very rude and explained how she "did not care" about the incorrect drinks on our bill

The food was great. The service was fast, but real friendly. They kept the trays full with a large variety.

dined in today. the forks were dirty, plates still had grease on it from previous customer. very nasty establishment. then was given attitude when asking for new silverware. horrible workers there. woman next to me had her 4 kids and her. overheard the waitress add 3 more kids that came over to the table to talk to their friend. the waitress did this so she could add a gratuity on the bill when the extra kids were not with the lady and her kids. when i spoke up and said that the waitress staff was trying to get over on this lady they became aggressive at me. disgusting food and staff. read more

I saw a number of five star reviews of Yoki Buffet so my youngest son and I went here to check it out. It is better that Chef Wangs and cleaner (at least in appearance). The food was good too. They had a ton of options to choose from. And even a Mongolian style BBQ option where you pick what you want (Meat, veg, etc.) and they cook it for you. If you're into Chinese buffets, you'll love this place, if not, then it's kinda the same old thing and you might want to choose a different option. Don't get me wrong, this is probably the best Chinese in town, but I do miss Chinatown in San Francisco, L.A. and N.Y. read more

The "new Chef Wangs" in the Boro is actually very, very good. Having been a long-time Chef Wangs aficionado, I must admit the last time I passed through down Broad St, I was disappointed to see it had been closed. However, with the new tenants comes a (slightly) revamped restaurant, still slingin the greatest hits, but with more passion and MUCH more flavor! Still a typical "Chinese-food" style, all-you-can-eat buffet, but with the addition of sushi and hibachi offerings, as well as (albeit more expensive) seafood bars on the weekends, Yoki is one of the best in MidTN. I got the wife's seal of approval, who to her credit has admitted multiple times that she does not like Chinese buffets (shameful, really). Having been to probably 5-6 in the area, this is the only one she's said she not only really enjoyed, but wouldn't be opposed to going to again. That's a win in my book! The major problem with many a buffet, is that all the various entrees served tend to begin to taste the same. This is not so with Yoki, as you could tell, at least when we were there, that the individual dishes were fresh, prepared appropriately, seasoned correctly, and had distinct flavors throughout each and every one. The seafood was plentiful, and the sides were excellent. The only thing the wife said she did not care for was the hibachi. Said it was bland and flavorless, though with as many options as there was on the regular buffet, I'm not sure why you'd want to wait for hibachi anyway! Other than the rather expensive price of $14 per person on the weekend, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience, food, and service and will most certainly return! (Don't miss the Chinese donuts when they are hot and fresh... delicious!) read more

Lots of fresh options of seafood, salad, sushi, beef, chicken, noodles, soups, hand-dipped ice cream, etc. One of the better buffets with prompt service from friendly staff. Always clean with plenty of seating during lunch and dinner. And? Very affordable. read more

Don't knock it until you try it. This place is actually good for a buffet. It's the best tasting Chinese buffet in the area and I can say that with confidence. The plates are stored inside a shelf of the food counters, which is kinda odd. I was so confused walking around looking for plates at first. The food is rotated out frequently and the prices are reasonable. As for seafood, they have raw oysters, fried oysters, crawfish, fried blue crab, clams, fried shrimp with the head on, and a few more items. No crab legs, unfortunately. And don't even think about trying raw oysters. They are frozen and unappetizing. No amount of lemon will help with the taste. Everything else is enjoyable tho! Lastly, service has room for improvement. read more

The Yoki Buffet in Cleveland Tennessee. What could improve? The food is mediocre, they have failed health inspections, and the service is the absolute worst I have ever experienced and I have traveled extensively throughout the US and Europe and I can honestly say that I have never had ruder service people. I will not go back to this place and I will not recommend it. We were so excited to have an Asian buffet in Cleveland TN, and we were completely let down by this place. As far as I'm concerned, the only thing they could do to improve it is to shut it down. read more

Decided to try out Yoki Buffet hoping the new ownership would dramatically improve the food, service, and cleanliness of the place. They have been open a couple of weeks now and we arrived for a late lunch and the place was packed. We were provided a number and didn't have to wait too long for a table. The first thing I scoped out was the cleanliness of the wait stations, kitchen, and the overall buffet. Everything looked great and they had a couple of folks going around restocking the trays and cleaning up around the buffet. Buffet: They have most everything you would look for on a Chinese buffet along with some American fare like chicken tenders and Mac & Cheese. Hibachi Bar: You select the ingredients and they will cook it to order. Sushi Bar: I'm not a sushi fan, but they had a lot of pre-made sushi offerings Sadly...the food was rather dull and insipid. While everything looked to be well prepared, there was little to no flavor to many dishes that you normally expect some flavor and spice. Buffet regulars like chicken on a stick, broccoli chicken, peppered chicken, sautéed mushrooms, and beef pepper steak did not come through with any of the expected flavors you anticipate in these dishes. For me...the most flavorful item I had was some sliced Kielbasa and the sugar donuts. On the Hibachi Bar selected Teriyaki sauce and it was bland, hence the overall meal from the grill was weak. The bright spot...our server Amy was very nice and attentive. The not so bright spot...I won't be back as there are too many other great options in Murfreesboro. read more
