    Food is delicious at this Buffet in St Cloud, FL!! I love having my food fresh and piping hot, so I enjoyed choosing my own hibachi concoction, and then having the Chef cook them in front of me. Sushi was great. Buffet has a good variety of food choices. We had a late Lunch on a Saturday, around 2:00pm, and the price is very reasonable, considering it's all-you-can-eat. Food bins were fully stocked and fresh. Staff were kind and friendly. They offer Military discounts here, so you just have to ask at Checkout, and show your ID. Definitely would come back here again.

    My family and I recently moved to St. Cloud and decided to give this place a shot. The first time we went, on June 24, 2023, the waitress was very accommodating and continued to bring us refills of water as well as take our used plates away. I decided to give her a tip of $9 for a family of 7 (two adults and five kids). The bill was easily over $100. The waitress gave me a nasty look that I overlooked because I thought it was just my imagination. The second time we went was a week later on June 30, 2023. The same waitress brought us our drinks (which was all water), but this time with a look on her face so nasty that my wife and kids were able to tell; it wasn’t just me this time. She never came back to refill our drinks until I had to ask her for one refill and our plates were piling up. Half-way through our meal she brought the check for us to pay. Since she had an attitude the whole time, I only gave her a $5 tip along with my credit card payment. She came back with the signed receipt and pointed to the suggested amounts of 15%, 20%, and 25% for a +100$ bill. I told her that I am low on cash and that we will do better next time. She scoffed and tried to humiliate me in front of my wife and kids. I told my family to go to the car because I was about to talk to the manager/owner and things might get heated. When I approached the lady at the cashier (who claimed to be the owner) I explained to her that the waitress scoffed at us for a $5 tip and that she was very rude to us. Instead of trying to resolve the problem she began asking if I did not like the food or service. I told her that the food was good, but the service was not. She responded with “well then, you can go to another place if you do not like it here.” I explained that the waitress didn’t take our food orders and only brought us our drinks which does not constitute a full tip like at other places where food orders are taken. The owner began to argue with me that maybe she should raise the buffet prices. I told her that maybe she should pay her waitresses a fair wage so that they would be more professional. Needless to say, my family and I will never be going back there again. Stay away from this place because all they care about are tips, tips, tips.

    This place it terrible. Idk hot they are still in business. Yelp has them at 2.5 stars that’s more like it. The food is old or raw. I am here watching the lady dump fresh food right on top of old food and mixing it in. Most places put the old on the new or just remove the old. I get crawfish and it is ice come inside like it was taken out of the fridge and never cooked. 2nd I get fried shrimp which looked a little undercooked to but it and find it is raw. First time in my life eating raw shrimp and found it actually has a fish taste. Stay far away they don’t care about their own restaurant so just imagine what is happening that we don’t see.

    Came here Thursday around 1:45 pm and the clientele included singles talking on the phone, a business person in a suit, a college aged couple, outdoor workers getting a huge meal, and families. It’s great to see this small business thriving. The food was good and our favorites were the peel and eat shrimp; the bbq skewers (with char siu seasoning aka 5 spice seasoning); the fish in seasoned butter; the honey chicken; the fresh, delicious sushi and wakame; and the desserts. The regular American buffet food, stuff for the kids like macaroni and cheese, cookies and pudding, was okay enough. Some of the signs didn’t match the foods. My husband’s favorite dessert was a custard-y cake inside phyllo cups but it was under a sign that said buffalo wings. The staff was welcoming and we had prompt, friendly service. Although there were many people there it felt calm because of the serene modern Chinese music in the background. The building has two large dining rooms in the back and is much larger than the exterior indicates. I like the fountain, the paintings, the inlaid tables and the Asian figurines (the waving cat and the little horse carving) that decorate the restaurant. For a relaxed, affordable meal that pleases everyone you can’t top this.

    Me and my wife are locals and we have been coming here for at least two years now, and we absolutely love it every time. Super affordable for what they are offering, fresh sushi, hibachi, and the buffet itself has really nice variety as well. We go there several times a month and everyone is always nice, food is always fresh, everything is always clean, and they even gave us a calendar for Christmas last year 🥹 thank you guys for being awesome!

    Me and my family did not find a single food that tasted good. Not even the deserts. The only thing that was good was the ice cream that you get from an ice cream truck. The workers kept staring at us and never came to ask for a refill. We were super disappointed and didn’t leave a tip. The waitress told my husband to give a 20% and we refused. It’s rude to ask for a tip especially when you didn’t provide a good service. $43 wasted here. Definitely not coming back. Food was cold and old. Restaurant was dirty.
