Aesthetically pleased with the place, especially with the bathrooms. Felt like I stepped into Japan for a moment. There we're a few interesting selections with the sushi bar with sushi being prepared fresh. Would consider coming here again the waiters wasn't pushy and was overall an enjoyable experience.

A family of 5 for my granddaughter birthday $106.00 down the drain.The food was nasty. I tasted samples of foods so I can see what I like and nothing was good but the ice cream.Also they are not changing the food out in a timely manner. The shrimp should not be soggy.Go at your own will.

For $18.99 a person, Ichiban Buffet is a steal! Everything was fresh and decent, very fair deal for $18.99 AYCE! There’s also a lot of options, including sushi and hibachi. No complaints at all. Only feedback is that the bathrooms could use some air refreshers and be wiped down better, considering how we came in shortly after the opening time.

My friends and I decided to try this buffet despite the concerning reviews. Firstly, the food they have is amazingly delicious and always heated. I loved the buffalo chicken they served! I wasn’t able to try the sweets and fruits but I’ll next time. The place is clean and looks really cool. The waiters are the reason I gave this only 3 stars. They take the plates and fill our drinks in time but that’s not where the issue is. One waiter handed us the receipts and a pen mentioning tip even though we weren’t finished. She came again and again looking for the tips on our table. Another waiter offered us fortune cookies, which btw they only hand out when you’re finished and we weren’t still not ready to leave yet. She kept approaching our table until we decided to finally leave the tip they kep
