You get what you pay for, service was nice. They played fun music.
Great price! $12 m-f 11-3 and $20 all other times including weekends all day. Lots to choose from. Lots of sushi. Tastes good.

They need to check and make sure the fried blue crab is not old. You gotta taste what you've cooked, unless you want to hear from your customer??? Besides the bad news of blue crabs, there was fresh tuna sashimi.

Fairly fair. Limited selection of fresh sashimi that was slowly replenished at the buffet. Rather bland lo mein. Very neat little koi pond. Friendly, helpful service.

Disgusting experience. The food was not hot at all and looked like it had been sitting out all day. Raw food should never be dark in color—this was pink on the bottom and brown on top, no exaggeration. My wife and I tried one plate and said the exact same thing at the same time.
When I complained, the manager acted like I had no right to say anything about the food being cold or not up to code at an open buffet. To make it worse, she tried to charge me for a kid’s meal as if I was supposed to just accept it and change my mind.
Save your time and money. Horrible experience.

This place has declined from previous years. I hadn't been here in a while and went back tonight for my birthday. This will be my last time eating here. The food was old, cold and stale. The restaurant was old and dirty. Rice was hard even some of the seafood wasn't edible. I would really love a refund I should have been able to enjoy a nice birthday meal. Definitely overpriced and underwhelming.
$12.99 all you can eat for lunch Mon-Fri premium quality sushi, Hibachi grill, and massive buffet. Best deal in Orlando.

This place is on it's last leg. If you feel like wasting your money, this place is it. Recently dined here over the weekend for lunch. The restaurant is in bad shape. Handwritten notes taped all over the front door. Initially thought they were closed when we walked up. Dimly lit thru out.
Food selection was mediocre and tasted old, dry like it was reheated/recooked. Sushi selection was subpar. Mostly rolls filled with cream cheese topped with large amounts of mayo mix sauce. The hibachi meats that were offered didnt look great either. Some of the hibachi red meat was gray in color.
The interior is worn and dirty. Floors were sticky no matter where you walked.
Positive note..staff was friendly and attentive.
Definitely skip this establishment.

I was very underwhelmed. Good choice, meh. There wasn't a ton of variety. The sushi was good.

I've only eaten there for lunch. It's a good price, decent food. The sushi selection is above average. I would give it 4.5 overall.

Okay, enough is enough. This was a Friday night, not even near to closing. And something MUST be done about the steam table to the left of the soup. My kid is sittting on the toilet puking into a trash can after complaining about the food being cold. I checked. It was. This is the SECOND time I raised a flag about the cold food, but this time I’ve got to bring a kid to urgent care.
I also had to go to staff and say “hey, we are paying full price here- can you please fill the sushi bar, and the hot food.” Their answer: “if you tell us what you want we’ll make it”. It was 7 on Friday. I said “I don’t know what to tell you to make. I’m at a buffet for a reason.” Photos of the sushi bar they wanted me to tell them what to make for customers below.

I cannot stress enough, how dangerously filthy and disgusting this restaurant is, it’s bad enough to put Carpet in a restaurant, but then to not clean it or replace it and allow it to stay there for so many years that the ceramic and concrete are actually worn out is beyond belief. These idiots simply do not care.
If you can get past the poor upkeep and make your way to the food, I believe you will find it as equally as disgusting. I figured we were there so I might as well eat something I got green beans, mussels, pepper, chicken, and dumplings. Every single thing was cold and when I complain to the waitress, she agreed that some people like their food hot and if I wanted her to, she would take my plate and microwave it for me, how generous.
I stopped my nine-year-old for meeting my wife quit eating what little food she had started, and we went to leave. I told the lady at checkout that I did not eat any food and would not pay for mine sure, she proceeded to charge me for two adults When I asked why she asked how old my nine-year-old was, it’s bad enough paying $12 for a boy that ate two spoonfuls of rice noodles but I darn sure wasn’t gonna pay 20. I no longer live in Orlando however I’ve been going to this restaurant for Close to 20 years when it first opened up and it’s really sad to see how disgusting it is now in comparison to what a great place it used to be. I can only hope that everybody stops going so they close down, allowing perhaps a proper restaurant to come in its place
Good luck Altamonte Springs. I wish you the best.

This place has gone down hill. We used to be regulars for years when we lived closer. We stopped by today as our had been years since we've been there and it was awful! Cold food on the hot bar, soggy general tso's chicken, and brown wasabi! Not a single Chinese worker in the restaurant and the works there were not friendly. One was taking a nap hunt he'd over the dessert bar! Never again.

The food choices were not abundant. The food was room temperature at best for items like steamed dumplings, soups, and the meats for hibachi. It's been a while since we visited and we were not happy with the sushi either. The tuna , snapper and seaweed salad with rice wraps were not firm in texture that fresh fish should have. The wraps were super soggy with the rice. We didn't really have a good selection of hibachi either. Hibachi grill is the main reason of our visit. This place had under parr selection and the meats/ chicken/beef/ chicken and shrimp were actually warm enough to know the employee responsible for the hibachi grill wasn't doing a good job with it. This place has baby octopus and I've always enjoyed it with the tuna and snapper sushi along with the hibachi grill. Sadly not sure if it will get better.
