    Food was horrible, don't believe the prices you see on here.advertised price was 12.99 we were charged 23.99 per person and + drinks and they tasted like bleached water. Manager told me that's the price so pay the bill lol. Be aware just FYI

  • June 27, 2026

    Food was cold and lacking I would not recommend. The sign said 12.99 and they charged 18.99. My wife is throwing up as I'm rating them. Eat at your own risk

    Food was horrible ! It tasted like it came from someone’s house and had the scent in the food . The food tasted like it was sitting next to cleaning products . Not to mention I was over charged for drinks I was charged 4 when I order 3 and my waiter walked off with an attitude when I made her aware and started talking about the situation right in front of me and my family. They were rolling their eyes and laughing . So I went up and let them know it was very rude to talk about the customers in front but I’m still going to leave a tip out of good faith ! But I will never return again . The food honestly wasn’t the greatest so I highly suggest trying the hibachi buffet right down the rode . Save your money !

    Freshness of the food depends on how busy the place is. I've been to this place many years. Very good food during busy season. So so when is not busy.

    Crab and shrimp were very mushy , mussels and clams were filled with either poop or babies . Crawfish were pretty good . Everything else 5/10.

    The service was really good but the one thing that really stood out was the ube cake, seriously that was the best ube cake I’ve had in my life. Although the fried sushi was cold which kind of makes it feel weird but over all one of the best restaurants I’ve been to.

    My family and I come here every Monday, and it never disappoints. The variety of food is incredible—from appetizers, main courses, and fresh fruit to desserts. They also have a great selection of sushi and Teppanyaki. I’m especially a huge fan of their oysters; they are always so fresh, and the rest of the seafood is fantastic too. The two sisters who own the restaurant, along with the rest of the staff, are so friendly. Highly recommended!

    It was nice, this is first restaurant when I was arrived Orlando, my daughter love it.

  • June 21, 2026

    It's a very clean buffet and always has hot food. I honestly prefer cooking Chinese at home which has more flavor. My my family wanted to go out and we knew this was close by to where we were going. The staff is nice always taking the dirty plates away and filling up our drinks when needed.

    Food was ok. When we first got there the food was cold and dry. Later there was fresh food. It was ok. But the waitress was more interested in us finishing so she can give us the bill than bringing us refills of our drinks. We had to ask twice for drinks . At first she pointed to the bill. My husband told her he understood her and we were going to pay when we were finished and if he could please get a refill. She smilled said yes and left to serve other tables. Then came back to see if we were ready to pay. Again my husband asked her for a refill Definitely not going back. It was the first and last . Disappointed 😞

    I was extremely disappointed with restaurant cleaningness and atmosphere last time I went in August 2021. After Covid 19 restaurant needs major cleaning improvements.
