Habachi grill... Delicious!
Kimi A.

Spacious and clean facility with attentive staff. Only waited about 2 minutes to be seated with our family of 6. They had high chairs. And a booster seat. Food was tasty and fresh. Wide assortment with salads, sushi, desserts and scoop your own ice cream. We enjoyed hibachi grilled steak, shrimp, veggies, noodles and pineapple. We'll definitely be back when we are in the area!!

Front:  Chili Oil Spicy Chicken.  Excellent.  Back:  String Beans

My lunch experience here was very good on a Monday around noon. I was surprised with the ambiance here as its more upscale and spacious than most Chinese buffets. I was pleasantly greeted, and had my drink order taken at the hostess stand. I went to the buffet, and my iced tea was waiting for me when I got back. The food here is, all around, very good, and there's a good selection of maybe 55 - 60 items in total. I tried a variety of items, including sushi, seaweed salad, pepper chicken, spicy chili oil chicken, lo mein, chicken skewers, buttered shrimp... All very good. The only thing that didn't impress me was the hot and sour soup. It was probably leftover from the day before as it was a little gloppy. (Good flavor, though). Their prices were quite good for it being a nicer place with good quality food and a very nice selection. I'll certainly give them more of my business, soon.

I'm very critical when it comes to service so perhaps I was a little harsh with my review. When I go to a restaurant I expect for my server to be friendly this wasn't the case and turned what could have been a potential 4 star review into the 3 you see. I tried to engage our server in conversation but she ignored my attempts. She was a bit slow in clearing used dishes.The resturant was beautifully decorated. It had many choices of food including frogslegs crab oysters class, a great selection of sushi as well as most Chinese dishes you'd expect in a Chinese Buffett. If a reasonably price buffet (wihen you factor in bidenomics) with decent food and you don't care about excellent service is what you seek in Springfield,OH you can't go wrong here. I paid 3 dollars more at Der Dutchman and the drink was not included nor was the soup or dessert unless you consider bread pudding dessert or the mystery thingy that looked like the cook dropped it on the floor and swept it into its serving container, but that's for my next review. The restroom was ok, given all the traffic but was in need of a touch up. I took no pictures because I didn't have the heart to basedcon the unfriendly service.

This buffet is awful. Complete trash. I understand they only just reopened after they just opened originally right before the panic lockdown started, I was honestly trying to giving them a big break, but nothing I saw was acceptable. We purposefully went to the weekend dinner, as it was advertised as the seafood buffet time. Didn't even have standard snowcrab legs. Was some oysters, mussels, crawfish, and octopus. But mostly shrimp. The best thing was the cold faux Crab salad, and that was bland. The rest of the buffet was worse. Much worse. Much of it was luke warm at best. Some was just plain cold. There was little to no Chinese food. Unless you count salt and pepper shrimp. The hibachi was not running. There were no noodles, no dumplings, not even lowly wontons. The egg drop soup was flavorless. All the flavors were subpar. Another patron and I were comparing notes in the bathroom how awful it all was. I filled one plate, mostly, and didn't eat all of it. The best thing was the Mac and cheese which came from a can for sure. Normally with such mediocre Chinese buffets, like the one that used to precede it in this location, when family would want to eat there I would err to the deep fried selections like crab Rangoon, egg rolls, or sweet and sour pork to assure they'd be cooked and hot. But some of those standards weren't even there. I can't even be sure of that with my mozz sticks as the cheese wasnt even slightly warm. The women's bathroom needs attention. The pendant lighting looked to be connected by plastic bread clips and the stall walls had been scratched up severely with graffiti. Painting over graffiti costs nearly nothing. They hadn't even removed the piled up strips of latex paint from the scratches that fell off with my hand brushing over it which just proves that in a *pandemic* they hadn't even so much as washed the walls. Anyone giving this more than two stars should not be trusted. I'm gonna drop an update if I end up with food poisoning, I have a few more hours to know for sure. Wish me luck. Go at your own risk.

Selection is good and the sushi is fresh made through out the day. Better than many buffets that I've been to.

Sake Japanese Steak House - The Tokyo Hibachi

We stopped by Sake, which is my boyfriend's favorite sushi place in the world! I started with a hot…read moresake and miso soup. Ironically the sake was scalding to the point where it hurt your hand to pour yourself a cup full and the miso was lukewarm. These temperature mishaps are the reason I docked a star. My boyfriend is obsessed with crab Rangoon and the one at Sake is his favorite. I'm not an expert on the dish, so you'll have to trust his word. The exterior was crisp and the dipping sauce was a slightly sweet soy sauce - all in all I enjoyed the dish. I had the spicy tuna roll. The tuna was fresh and the spice level was decent. Again, I'm not a sushi expert, but I enjoyed my rolls. Sake offered 30% off most of the menu so the price of the dinner ended up being quite reasonable. Service was very efficient and the restaurant was clean and inviting.

Definitely the best oriental/Chinese food it town. Usually do carryout, service very good and fast…read more Typically order fillet hibachi along with fried Rangoon and/or sushi. Beef very good for that type of food. Have dined in previously, service average, Hibachi cook (teppanyaki chef, had to look that up) OK. Again definitely the best in that category of food in the area.

Big servings at reasonable prices! First off, this review is basically due to the 2 types of food I…read moreorder from here which is sushi and their hibachi entrees. I always get my food to go and have never dined in. This review does not rate the service or Covid measurements that could be properly be reviewed if I actually ate at this location. You get a lot of food when it comes to the hibachi entrees which includes soup, salad, spring roll and your main dish. The main dish consist of plenty of fried rice, vegetables which include zucchini and onions, your protein of choice and plenty of Yum Yum sauce for the top. The meal is easily enough for 2 people or 1 person for multiple meals. The steak and chicken are a little dry but have good flavor; however the scallops are very moist and well seasoned. The shrimp is also a winning choice if your in the middle for seafood. The sushi is also my other favorite option when I chose to visit this establishment. This is one of the very few sushi restaurants that I have been to that they actually do so good on their regular rolls, you don't need to order any of the specials. Their 3 roll special which is $12 is a great deal. It includes 3 rolls and I always tend to chose at least 1 shrimp tempura roll because that is my favorite. They also have a great spicy tune as well! This restaurant seems to take care in their "common" rolls unlike a lot of places. Many places ignore the "everyday" rolls and spend most of their effort on their "special Rolls". I have had some of the rolls off of their special list as well and they are also very tasty! You won't be disappointed if you chose this restaurant for your next Hibachi or Sushi cravings!!

Spicy tuna is on point. Not expensive and really yummy. Actual Japanese work here. Wow!read more

I wasn't as surprised this time by the location in a neighborhood, something that gives it a very welcome feel and suggests with the addition of a covered outdoor porch with picnic tables that this is a good neighborhood hang. I was late for lunch, almost two but there were some folks still finishing up. Good vibe, good music and casual atmosphere. I opted for the Takoyaki app which was tasty and not so burning hot that it scorched the roof of your mouth. Also the right amount of mayonnaise as opposed to often an excess. The Ramen Flight was fun in principle but I wouldn't do it again. I unwisely and perhaps naively assumed there would be mini versions of the full serving of Tonkotsu broth with Mayo, Thai curry and Szechuan with scallions. But it really is just the broth and ramen. Expected the Szechuan to have some heat and peppery lip buzz but did not. The Thai curry was super salty. Just missed some option of veggies and protein. Finally I would suggest not sitting near the front near the stairs to the kitchen. The spot has competing music soundtracks with two different play lists battling between your two ears.

I have never been handed the ordering pad to confirm my order like I worked there enough to really interpret the system menu - and still they managed to get my order wrong... then they never brought me the a cup of water to drink with my meal. Oh they forgot my spoon to use to eat my soup.... never came back to check in for me to ask for either of those things. Second- the food quality. It is not even close to old akashi. Anyone who has ever had fatty tuna.. knows those things melt in your mouth. The one today? Fishy taste and poorly cut (it was tough to chew and stringy). The 20 dollar wooguhji? The barest of soups.. barely any cabbage or egg... it was sad. Lastly store appearance. Their bathroom give me icks.. the mirror was so greased streaky.. ugh. We wont be back for a long time, if ever again honestly. And anyone who eats sushi... your sushi plate that is served never looks.... questionable. This was a first for me. And the whole time there was only one or two other parties in the building at a time. It was basically dead for a dinner hour.
