They now have chicken curry.
Eric A.

Still a really nice buffet. If you go around lunchtime and dinner time, you always get hot fresh food. Not quite so fresh. In the slow time but that's expected at a buffet. I love their chicken curry

The service was great, we got seated right away. I noted that I loved the placard of drinks available put on the table since normally you never know what drinks buffets have. The selection of food and stock was great! They really do have everything you can think of, and everything was full and hot. Every bite I took I audibly went "wow this is so good" and that's rare for me at a buffet style restaurant, I feel like there's usually 1 or 2 misses among the hits. They were quick to take our empty plates away and refill drinks. The only reason this is not a 5/5 was because it was a smidge pricier than the other competitors. For 2 people for dinner it was $45.00

The atmosphere here used to be great! Staff was pleasant and eager to please you. All you can eat sushi was a huge plus b/c we love sushi. This time around, we went for my daughter's birthday, 12/28/24. We were seated right by the sushi bar. The lady behind the counter at the sushi bar was watching every single thing I took. She circled our table numerous times, lingering, and gave us all dead eyed stares. I decided I didn't want to eat the rice on a particular type of sushi b/c it was mainly all rice and nothing else, and flavorless. Upon seeing this the lady behind the counter rushed over to the new manager. (I think his name was Edward?) and he came and very kindly, but loudly and embarrassingly told us that it was wasteful and a waste of labor for his staff to make the rolls just for me not to eat the rice. Keep in mind, this is an ALL YOU CAN EAT PLACE. He stated that if I wanted sashimi (I didn't even know what that was at the time) then all I had to do was ask. Mind you there's no signs. The woman behind the sushi counter was never there, or when she was there she was eating behind the bar so I didn't want to ask her anything. I did initially ask her for eel sauce and she didn't speak English. So in reality how was I supposed to converse with her anyhow?! The remainder of the meal she was STARING at me. So much so that it made ALL of us uncomfortable. I wasn't aware that I'd done anything wrong. I've been coming here for YEARS. Probably 10+. And honestly we used to come here maybe 8-10x a year but I will absolutely NEVER come here again. It was rude, embarrassing, the food isn't even all that great for the price. It's expensive as hell now. Don't come here if you don't an ant to be judged for what you eat. When we s/w the manager on the way out he apologized and said he would put up a sign for future patrons so they knew about it. He also offered to discount our meal next time we came. But we're never ever going back. Bunch of judgmental a-holes.

If your thinking of coming here, don't. I called ahead to see if they had crab legs, they said they did. But once we got there, we were told they didn't have any. We found a long hair in the green beans. I ended up only eating the pineapple cake the whole time because everything either looked, smelled or tasted bad. And some of the sushi was blue..

lobsters, crab legs, and other seafood dishes

One of the better visits I've had. There are definitely much better food selections on the dinner buffet than lunch which makes sense since dinner is more expensive. I will say, we felt like an inconvenience to the servers because we asked to sit at a table rather than a booth.

CRITCAL INFO: Dinner 14.99, drink not included The GOOD: decor, quality of food 4 price, friendly attentive staff The BAD: Lack of covid precautions (though staff does wear masks and buffet stations are clean) I was pleasently surprised by the York Buffet. The rich red walls and artwork were welcoming. For 14.99, the food quality was quite good. It was fresh with good taste - highly recommend the chicken curry and wood fired steak. Avoid salad bar, it's very generic and steals room for the good stuff. It loses a star because although the staff was masked, patrons are permitted to go up to the buffet unmasked, and it can get very busy. The biggest problem was no disposable gloves for tong touching. Everyone touching the same tongs in this climate is not safe. There is just no way to know who is vaccinated and who isnt. I had a great experience but until the pandemic is crushed, I highly recommend the restaurant mandate masks for the buffet, and provide cheap, disposible gloves for the serving tongs - 4 stars, B

This is a cool Naruto-theme restaurant. Prices were reasonable and they have typical Japanese side…read moredishes like pork buns, takoyaki, tempura, gyoza in addition to ramen and curry rice with katsu. They even have some boba tea options. Not sure I would trust the mango and strawberry mochi ice cream though. I got the spicy tonkatsu ramen combo which comes with a pork bun and Thai iced tea. I was able to get the Thai tea less sweet. Altogether it was $20 which isn't too bad. Thai tea was as you would expect nothing wrong with it. Pork bun was pretty good, nice soft bun with slices of pork with lettuce, cucumber with a sweet sauce. Spicy tonkatsu ramen was alright, above average for York, PA. It came with a closer to hard boiled half egg, one slice of fish cake, some bamboo, a few slices of chashu that was marinated but a little overcooked, and pink ginger.. Why they would put pink ginger in ramen is beyond me but it was not a good choice. Flavor of broth was good and spicy level is more of a mild. They do have a devil ramen which is much spicier. Ambience was cool, they have a mist machine with purple lights in the middle and a Naruto figure near the door. They also have a small tv playing Naruto episodes non-stop. Service was good too. Servers checked on my at appropriate times. One of the bathrooms was out of service when I came, hopefully they will fix that soon. Overall, worth a visit to get your Ramen fix in York.

Our first time. Really nice wait staff We were super happy with the food, shared two entrées and an…read moreappetizer we recommend.
