    This place is a smorgasbord. They even have a sushi area. Delicious food great prices. You can't go wrong. Me and my friends had a blast We all had one plate of food. We were so stuffed. The food was great. 10 out of 10. We strongly recommend

    Interesting place with lots to offer and so much potential. I had few suggestions especially for vegans/ vegetarians Food should be labeled or a little green flag that states a dish is vegetarian or vegan friendly. None of the staff spoke English or understood when I asked them to point me to vegetarian options and they all just walked away. The place seems popular but a little consideration for vegans would be helpful. It’s value for money, all you can eat. I still managed to guess and take whatever looked vegan to me but I felt there was so much that I was curious about but no one was helpful enough to explain. Here are some pictures of vegetarian/ vegan options (as per my knowledge) Decor is a bit dated

    It's a buffet it is very wide and has a large variety. So if you're not worried about your diet or high cholesterol or worried about becoming a diabetic this is your place. It was clean it was nice but again you can't keep a buffet 100% safe from dirty people that don't wash their hands. Other than that I highly recommend the place but do it when they first opened up not when they're about to close there's a big difference. From your silent traveler it's an A5.

    I am staying at extended Stay America next door. I needed to take out food for two meals. Yoki Buffet goes by weight for take out. Since I was looking for low salt items. I selected many items. My box came to three pounds and $18.00. There were many items I couldn't eat. So, this is no place for someone that is on a low salt diet. There are a few items, such as Yellow fruit, glass noodles, fried rice etc. The photo below, shows the whole big plate I took with me, and the items I could eat on this diet. What I ate was good. I want to emphasize, that the selection humongous 😃. Many unusual but typical Asian dishes. A wonderful desert bar.

    Yoki Buffet was delicious. Everything was that should be hot was. Everything that should be crisp was. Everything I tried was cooked or prepared to perfection. What I enjoyed the most was the plate placements. Thay are located under the entire length of the buffet. I could find what I wanted to eat grab a plate under that and serve myself. The bathroom where clean and the they had a nice design. The service was top notch. My cup never got past half empty and my plate was removed shortly after I finished eating. I was asked when I paid if Everything was to satisfaction. I would like to add I did show up at 11 am when they first opened. It looked like Everything was out except the white rice. As I was leaving the manager apologized for not having the rice out. I was very humbled by his apology and told him it was fine. I recommend this restaurant. I believe the price is worth the experience. Please see my photos. Tried hard to not have people in the photos.

    It’s good for what it is! Keep in mind this is your typical Asian buffet with a variety of mixed food from stir fry to sushi to desserts. It’s clean and open. From what I saw, they tried to keep it organize and the wait staff was nice. It’s not extravagant (what did you really expect) for $12 during lunch time. For a Wednesday around 1pm, it was pretty packed. It’s great value for your money for a fair amount of variety. However, food taste wise was just so-so.

    What a great place! Never had it and I will be sure to return From the General Tso’s Chicken to the Jalapeño Chicken. Everything was excellent! Tons of options to choose from. 🥡🥢🥠

    It was a special mother's day feast, with crab legs, steaks, and all the other stuff. People were ready to fight over some crab legs. They either needed more trays of it, or they needed to have an attendant there serving them (like at the steal station) limit 2 at a time... that being said they were so over cooked as was the mini shrimp in the sauce w/crab.. the big fried whole prawn not a good flavor. Go to a seafood restaurant for seafood... but the rest was ok..I won't spend that kinda money or drive an hour again.

    I LOVE it here. Wonderful variety, delicious food almost all the time, amazing prices. They seriously have it all and it's more than worth it to take a small detour and try the food here. If you love sashimi, exotic eats, or little peach shaped steamed buns, it's for you!!

    Yoki is a good buffet for the price for sure. They also have a to go 1 trip for $7 a pound. Everything was excellent. I do recommend you go at primetime so you get fresh food.

    We were visiting this buffet many years and were giving 5 stars, but it looks like other places they start sliding down. For a long time, they have stopped serving green beans, what I love most when I go here, and every time I ask, they respond is: it is not season for it. I can't believe as other places still serve and that "season" can be at any seasons.

    Great experience here. Huge variety, very clean, great service. The cooked food was not as hot as it should be, but really that's the only criticism I can give. If you go in expecting traditional buffet quality, you'll be impressed. Lots of sushi roll options as well

    If you want everybody in your family to be happy, especially children, this is the place. Everyone will find a dish they like for sure. The food variety is outstanding compared to other buffets. The sushi bar!! Oh my! 7-8 different rolls of sushi or more, along with a log of wasabi, a long plate of pickled ginger and another plate for sweet sesame seaweed salad to go on your sushi rolls 😋😋 There is a hibachi grill. The cook will sautee your food, after you pick what you want on the spot with a sauce of your liking. The dessert bar had cake, brownies, cheese and jam danishes, sweet puff pastry and croissants, ice cream and different flavored mousses. The fruit bar had cantaloupe, honeydew, pineapple. The trays were refilled often. The labels however do not match the food in the trays and that is the only minor inconvenience in the restaurant. Our plates once empty, got removed from the table quickly and we were checked upon frequently. I took only one photo. I meant to take more but I got busy with the food that I forgot. We will definitely go back again.

    Excellent, huge variety of Chinese and Japanese food. Tonight the peppered chicken and the bourbon chicken were my favorites. Mint chocolate chip ice cream for dessert, too.

    Worst place that i have ever eaten at…. Food is bad and the service is even more miserable. The food dessert trays were mostly empty and not being refilled. The dessert had a bad taste like as if it had gone bad. We literally spit out the food.

    Yummy Chinese buffet, they do have crab legs but they don’t look very appetizing. Large selection of cheaply made sushi and desserts. Worth it for the price but nothing to brag about.

    The place was clean, staff is friendly, and food was AMAZING. We took the whole family here and it was nice. For everything you get. It's at a low price. Best restaurant in town.

  • 5/5 Silas S. 10 months ago on Google
    Love this place. Lots of selection, Mongolian grill, sushi, seafood most nights I believe. Roast towards the weekend. Holidays they always do something special. Great group of people here. Even get some take out by the pound if you want. Run in for lunch or dinner. Remember that best times to go. 11am for lunch and about 530 6pm for dinner. Around 4 they our changing over food for dinner. Some may be lunch still. Fresh takes times to rotate in. Enjoy and say hi for me.

    Had a very good experience. Sushi very good the bar was good and hot. They had some items different from other places that were good and the desserts were excellent..one of my favorites was cold and the service guy was slow to refill drinks but other than that i would defiantly be back

  • 4/5 PoisonQueen 0. 10 months ago on Google
    Dined in! The food was delicious! Quite a few meats to choose from, some veggies, and of course noodles and rice as well. Our waitress was Linda and she was sweet and attentive. Unfortunately I am allergic to seafood so I could not eat any of the sushi, all I can say is that it looked good, sorry I can't try it out!

  • 5/5 Kristopher E. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was delicious and fresh. It was replenished quickly and kept available. So much variety. More than I've seen in quite a while. And no mysterious plate snatchers removed my plate before I was finished eating. Worth trying for yourself.

  • 5/5 Aiden 4 months ago on Google
    Food was very good service was amazing. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good place to eat!

    The sushi is decent! JoJo was a great server! Make sure to go to the BBQ grill and make your own bowl!

    Overall it's always a good experience and one of the if not the best buffet in town. Service was slow but was still very friendly, patient and helpful. Food is incredible and fresh. I appreciate the attention to detail.

  • 5/5 Kathleen S. 2 years ago on Google
    I dined here with my Dad and we both agree this is truly the best buffet we've ever been to. *Fresh* seafood, *huge* spread, and everything really does taste quality, better than many other buffets I've been to. Quality service as well, definitely worth the price!

  • 3/5 Murrell K. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice presentation. Good looking food tables. It is your usual Chinese buffet. The issue was that the food that should have been hot was not. Some was a bit warm and some barely room temp. What we had was tasty for the most part but not mind blowing. May try again in a few months.

    I brought my family here today the food was hot and warm. My kids who are picky eaters ate a lot here normally things they wouldn't try. Our waitress was amazing and very attentive, clearing our plates off the table so they didn't stack and refill our drinks before we ran out. Overall 5/5
