We was very excited to try it out for the first time, who doesn’t love an AYCE. But we was not able to do the “AYCE” experience unfortunately. We waited 1.5 hrs for our FIRST set of orders. The server kept asking us if we was ready to place more orders (we had to tell her constantly that we STILL haven’t received our first orders yet so we don’t know how the portions are going to look). Waited an additional 30 mins to get the first order. Asked for chopsticks (never received it but saw other tables receiving it). Placed our second order since we knew it’ll take LONG to come out- we ordered the Korean BBQ which should’ve came out on the skillet fire with lettuce rice..etc. well we just got meat on a plate. At that point we was ready to go. We asked for the bill AND a to-go box, an additional 30 mins for the ticket AND NO TO GO BOX. Had to ask a food runner for a to go box, he came out in 2 mins TOP with our containers. We were there for a total of 3 hours, barely ate anything- left hungry and annoyed. Everyone that came after us, got their food, chopsticks..etc. Texas Roadhouse has better service and there’s normally a waitlist. The ONLY good experience we had was the live music being played tonight. The guy was awesome!

We have been here multiple times and always enjoy the food. Smaller portions on the all you eat allow you to try multiple items. Ask for Ciera. She is professional, very personable, attentive, and friendly. Will def be back.

This place was absolutely amazing. A very unique experience. You can order by dish or choose an "All you can eat" option. Met the owner as well and he is a wholesome person. He was out working the floor with his staff making sure everyone was enjoying their experience. My family and I loved this place and will be going back asap. I cannot recommend this place enough!

The food and service was outstanding. The options with the all you can eat aren’t limited. A different experience for sure. Will be back. Cierra was our waitress and explained the process and recommended options.

My wife and I normally love going here for a dinner date. Unfortunately, every aspect of our overall experience last night was the worst dining experience we've had in Lafayette. My wife, 5 year old daughter, and I came in at a busy time and waited nearly an hour for a table, as expected for a Saturday night and no reservation. We were seated in the patio area without even asking if we were okay sitting in this section. Sitting in this area we felt completed separated from the restaurant and forgotten about. Our waitress did greet us rather quickly and brought our drinks back within 5ish minutes or so. Being that we have frequented this location a few times, we already knew how we wanted to start our buffet orders. As I was waiting to request some of our items to order, the waitress immediately says "I'll be right back" not even 5 seconds after arriving to our table to drop off the drinks. Our waitress then stepped to the side of us where she had a 7 top table she was also servicing. She assists them a walks away without even glancing at our table and not noticing us trying to get her attention. FIFTEEN minutes later, she finally comes back to our table to take our order. We placed everything that we knew we wanted at this point, including our daughters hibachi meal. Now, from the point we were sat to the point we placed our order (which she never used the tablet but at the end of a time there) it was roughly 15-17 minutes. We didn't a single item for the next 30 minutes. When the 3 items finally came out, we recieved 1 nearly room temp soup, 1 order of spring rolls thay sat so long after cooking the the bottom was falling apart from sogginess, and room temp bang bang shrimp. Another nearly 15 minutes pass by and nothing has come out still. Also at this point, our waitress has never stopped by our table on her own accords, we had to wave her down twice for refills, each time she seemed to make a face of us bothering her. At this point, I was beyond upset, but trying to be civil about the ridiculous service/experience up to this point. I walked to the front, asked the hostess for manager, waited nearly 5 minutes for nobody to come out and just went back to my table. 5-10 minutes later we finally start getting the rest of our food, we finished, ordered a little dessert, paid and left. Based off all other experiences we've had here, we may be back one day, but this put a terrible taste in our mouth. It will be a long time before we give this restaurant another shot with how much it costs to eat there.

Bushido was simply fantastic. All you can eat for $30 with good portion sizes and the ability to taste everything? You cannot beat that! Every single thing we had tonight was delicious. Our server, Bishop, was the best. We didn’t know how the AYCE worked, especially with sushi rolls. He explained everything to us and gave us suggestions along with his recommendations based off our previous selections. Top notch service! We will definitely be back!

Excellent and fast service, and beautiful setup! The food presentation looked better than how it tasted. And don’t get me wrong, it was delicious but was just not the best we’ve had and didn’t peak our interest to return a second time. A lot of food options was a plus!

Look i understand being short staffed and our waitress did really well tonight being the only person on the wait staff apparently but we got there at 4 and didn’t get our food for almost and hour and a half. The bus boys were having to bring out food. The restaurant was kinda busy but the management staff isn’t running the business as it should be. The food was ok but wasn’t good enough to say ok this redeems the experience. My MIL ask to speak to speak to a manager and was told they were to busy to talk. Tonight was our first experience here and we were not satisfied by any means. However the staff were friendlier to my kid then next door.

Kid-friendliness: Our waitress was very sweet to our baby and very knowledgeable about the menu I just wish she could’ve come back more to check on us

Beautiful details and ambiance, food was wonderful, prepared and plated with care; definitely blew away our expectations of an "all you can eat" place. Rose was our server and she was phenomenal!!! It's not on the menu but try the fried rice!!!!

Crappy service!! Came here with a party of nine only to never see the waitress. I literally had to get up twice to go looking for her! People were still waiting to order for buffet and wanting refill on drinks. When the food did come out, it wasn't even all that. Some of the food was lukewarm. With my patience wearing thin, I just lost my appetite and politely asked for the check. The check took about 20 minutes to come back out!!! Completely miserable experience the entire time. I can only say one nice thing about this place. It is a beautiful establishment. The owner reached out to try to rectify the situation only to disappoint me again. I will never be back.
