Hibachi Grill and Supreme Buffet

The food was okay and the service was non English speaking of course, but what kept me from ever coming back a couple years ago was a very stupid note on the napkin holders at every table saying that you’ll be charged 30% for wasteful food habits. There was no explanation other than it’s the manager’s discretion as to what constitutes too much saying of food.

I am tolerant and can eat just about anything. But I was disappointed with everything I put into my mouth with the exception of the fruit. Nothing tasted right and in many cases, looked right. The food was either overcooked, too salty or too greasy. The signs that were everywhere about the restaurant’s not assuming responsibility for under-​cooked foods should have been a warning sign. Unfortunately, this was a place my daughter wanted to try on a daddy-​daughter dinner night out, Initially, I thought she would appreciate the variety and trying some new things. We found ourselves spitting food into napkins and leaving disgusted and unsatisfied, $ 23 later. DO NOT EAT AT THIS RESTAURANT.

We ate here today and I must say we were very disappointed. We are seafood lovers and they typically have seafood that tastes great. This time however, the crabs had a terrible odor and left a horrible taste. I literally had to eat other foods to cleanse my pallet. This was tainted seafood. We I also tried the clams and they were very slimy. The sIime was thick and gooey. I felt as though they were not safe to eat either. We left after 10 minutes. I told the hostess and she admitted that they had several other complaints pertaining to the crab. She literally admitted the crabs were bad. I was speechless. She still did not care at all. Later I overheard them discussing the food cost as if they were willing to risk the health of their customers rather than sacrifice the loss of the food. We explained that we are repeat customers. She said sorry– we have had other people walk out today. We will not return ever. The food use to be good but not now. The sanitation grade is also very low. Please do not waste your time here. We literally had to come home and prepare safe food.

One of the most delicious cheapest restaurant in Raleigh. they have verity of Chinese and Japanese food. there is a good sushi bar with enough variety. the workers are friendly,

For years we’ve stopped coming to this restaurant with the experience that it was just the average Chinese buffet eatery. One day last week, we gave it another try. To our surprise, we could taste the freshness in every dish — including the sushi. Another plus for us was that the food was not salty — however, to someone else, he/​she could say the food was bland. It’s all personal preference. But I do have one complaint: their not-​too-​fresh dessert.

Standard buffet items. Everything I tried was very good. I especially enjoyed the hibachi grill. I realize that when you go to a buffet, or any self serve style restaurant, you’re sort of rolling the dice hygiene-​wise. But my family and I watched two small children helping themselves to ice cream by scooping it out with spoons and then using their fingers to push the ice cream into their bowls. One little guy liked what he had been licking off of his fingers so much that he decided to lick the spoon clean before dropping it back into the cookies and cream. I grabbed the first employee I could find and let her know what had happened. She said okay, picked up the spoon, replaced with a new one and walked away. Leaving everyone else to enjoy cookies and cream and little boy saliva. This happened as we were leaving, so I told another employee by the door, including the fact that the first lady’s response was less than spectacular. This woman didn’t even make a move to do anything. Just looked at me like I was the one being ridiculous. Needless to say, first and last trip.

Large selection of extremely greasy and bland food. It was busy so we had high hopes but after about half a plate we wondered why so many people were actually eating there. Most food has no taste at all. Wont be back!

I hope you like fried food! The sushi and salad bar were about the only things not deep fried. The restaurant was not very clean and the floor was sticky. The Hibachi grill attendant let my food burn, and ignored the lady in front of me when she asked him to remove her steak because it was cooked more than she asked for. The fried food was soft and not crisp at all. Who wants a soggy egg roll? I would recommend skipping this buffet.

My son’s favorite restaurant. Huge selection of food. Most of the time everything is good but sometimes its not. Atmosphere, service and staff are good. It’s a very busy place and lots of people like it.

Start with the good… nice selection and spacious.
Now the truth… we found bugs in our food! No way to sugar coat that one! No, they were not part of the large food selection. When the waitress called the manager to the table she instantly started picking the apart and trying to convince me that I was delusional. You wonder if I made a scene… no not at all! Too classy and soft spoken! Plus, I have Unilocal!
Guess what before she got to the last bug that was «just a seed or something» I did get a picture for you guys!
All in all we didn’t get very far 3 plates, 3 people and a few bugs spoiled the dinner!

I love buffets and have been to many in the area and while traveling across the US. This is the worst one we have been to. While the hibachi was ok, there wasn’t anything else other than the ice cream that really tasted good. We aren’t super picky and tried a lot of things, sushi, meats, veggies, fried foods, but we both stopped eating midway through the meal and just looked at each other and realized we were both feeling grossed out. Cleanliness isn’t great either and the place was mobbed around 2pm on a Sunday, but none of that would have killed us if the food had tasted good. This is the first time we have struck a buffet off our list ever. :(

Had been very disappointed here years ago and stopped coming.
After reviewing the Wake County Restaurant Inspections, I decided to give them another try.
Food was good including hibachi and desserts. Service was fine.
Regarding the signs about wasting food one Unilocaler mentioned, the same thought could have been worded in a much more customer-​oriented way. Obviously, a guest being charged this could easily refuse to pay it. There was a similarly misworded sign about sharing with non-​eating members of a party. A bit of training in business English would really improve guest impressions.
There are coupons available in mailed magazines and the web.
Decent place worth a try.

Getting worse. Used to be really good but the food is just so greasy now. It’s time to take a look at the quality.

Good hibachi, Chinese dishes, and sushi beyond the normal Cali roll. Nothing exceptional, but it was all tasty. Service is attentive and quick. Had a great visit.

Would definitely rate this lower if possible. Sesame chicken was super inconsistent, one piece was fried and not that horrible but it was followed by something really squishy and probably not chicken. Tubs of raw seafood were sitting in the floor. The food was cold and lacked flavor. They had more American foods than Asian. Just really awful, I try to find something good about everything but not this time.

Worst Chinese buffet my boyfriend and I have ever been to. I’m not typically a picky person either. The food was cold and mediocre at best, plus if you waste any they’ll tack on an extra 30% to your bill… Which is an obvious problem when the food isn’t good.

When I first moved here, my mom had come with me and we were itching for some Asian food! So when I found out there was a Chinese food buffet, I said Mom let’s go! WE were both surprised that they had similar selections like they do back home (CA). We both definitely enjoyed our fill of asian food buffet goodness! However my Mom and I are both very sensitive to MSG. AFter our meal we were both struck and the effects of the MSG were horrible! Both my mom and I were suffering! The food is delicious because there is MSG in it! I get it, who doesn’t use MSG now a days? But I think it might a little lethal the amount that they use!
I was surprised to find sushi here, although I didn’t truly trust it, but what I did get was okay (rolls). The other food, well I was in paradise (of course this is before the attack of the MSG).
Would I come back here? Yes!
Is it quality food? I mean… you get what you paid for!
What did you like most? All the different selections!
What didn’t you like? How hot it was in the restaurant!

Have come back a few times since my initial review and for $ 8.00 you still can’t beat the price of this buffet. There are quite a few types of sushi that are to my liking (I have to preface that with that I don’t like sushi that is fried or with mayo), so that narrows my sushi buffet eating choices. I did find there were also less Chinese foods and more American foods, I think they are catered to the Hispanic population more than those who come for Asian foods. Also some of the foods were lukewarm as opposed to hot. I prefer my soup to be hot as well as my egg rolls, etc. I will return again when I am in the neighborhood at noon and in need of an inexpensive lunch, but I am sad there were no egg, radish, other fish types on the sushi bar and the Chinese food choices have shrunk. Do something to heat up the food and then alert me Hibachi Grill.

This place is the Golden Corral of Chinese Places. Yes there is a huge selection but what you have to pick from is low quality. It doesn’t really matter if there’s a lot of food if it’s all junk. You’ll be over whelmed at first with all the choices and the labels make it sound good. After your first couple bites you will realize the quality is poor. I’ve tried this place 3 different times. I’d say save your money.

Very impressive selection, and the food is fresh. They have chicken cooked about 8 different ways. Nice décor, and a really amazing fountain at the front of the restaurant. As a big fan of Chinese Buffets, I consider myself to be a near expert on the topic. This is, without a doubt, the best Chinese Buffet anywhere in Raleigh.
Excellent service, vast selection of food, very reasonable prices. This is exactly what a Chinese Buffet should be!
