Ginza Buffet

If you're not looking to read everything, yes I recommend it.I went on a Sunday and it was $18.99 per person for all day dinner. You get what you pay for, I'll be talking about this.You get to the place and from what I've seen on the pictures on here, there is a line of people outside waiting to be seated. That was not the case for me, the line was inside, really good for the cold. The wait for me and my partner was about 15 to 20 minutes. We finally got seated after hearing our number called out. The place was decorated in an ocean type of style having whales and another sea animal in the form of lights hanging from the ceiling. Very pretty. The place was pretty clean and the service was pretty attentive, at least they were to other people. The food area was decently clean. Onto the food, there was a wide selection of foods. The snow crab legs were sweet and perfect. And don't get too excited hearing this, they have seafood crackers so you don't get too dirty. The food was perfectly cooked and at a perfect temperature. There was also a wide variety of sushi you can choose from not to mention you can ask them to cook something for you on the stop.Overall, I'd recommend this place if you're looking for a wide variety of foods. I would not recommend this place if you're looking to come in and start eating straight away. And maybe it's not like this everyday, again, I did come on a Sunday so that might have been the problem. Was it worth $19, yes it was.

I was excited to try this new buffet that serves hibachi, sushi, and seafood. The price point is different for lunch vs dinner. There is also various prices for children over the age of 1. We were taken to our table and drink orders were taken; then we were able to go get food.Honestly, I was disappointed with my food experience here. I came for crab legs, sushi, and hibachi. They have a wide variety of food options but none of them were quality. The sushi is all served cold (even the tempura). The crab legs were overcooked to the point that the meat was difficult to get out the shell. Which ended up being a lot of cracking but hardly getting anything. The hibachi was decent depending on the staff who cooked it.My main issue with the hibachi was the set up. The meat, rice, noodles, veggies etc are all out but there isn't protocol on how you put it on the plate. I can just see cross contamination incident happening. The decor beautiful and vibe is decent. If they focused on food quality more this could be a good spot.

Ginza buffet is a new restaurant in Gastonia, and it has now become one of my favorite restaurants!!! The food is spectacular and they have so many options, my favorite is the Gyoza, fried shrimp, chicken wings, black pepper chicken & of course the crab legs !!!The service is A1!!! All of the servers take great care of you and they are so attentive! They make you feel like royalty ! The lunch buffet is only $13.99 & dinner is $18.99 WOW! Talk about bang for your buck !!

Beautiful new location opening. Very clean and well kept even through the busiest hours. Fast moving and friendly service. Great options on the buffet. All seafood is available after 4 PM and the weekends only. The sushi bar was amazing, tips are optional at the end of the bar. Great flavor, lots of soup options. Love the dumpling options and bao buns!

Ginza Buffet is the new it girl in Gastonia. Everyone is rushing to try this Chinese AYCE buffet under new management with a new makeover. While waiting the couple next me drove 1:30 because they saw them advertised on Facebook! There are a lot of areas they can improve in from start to finish. We got there at 5pm. We were quoted a 2-3 hour wait time. Our party of 6 was seated in 27 minutes. The pager system is currently post it notes with numbers written on them. The host staff gives you a post it, writes down the size of your party and the number. Then the host staff calls out the numbers when the table is ready. People are crowded in the walkway and entrance. When taken to your seat, the host takes you with plastic forks (for you to eat with) and ask you what you want to drink. They ask how many in your party and write your ticket. My whole party wasn't there and I asked to wait for my whole party to arrive before we gave our drink order. The hostess kept asking and pressing the issue. I finally said it and she got the point and left saying our server would finish. There are no menus. My sister said we would all have water but asked our server if the kids meal came with a drink. The server said yes. So my niece got a Dr. Pepper. This is important because at the end of the meal we were charged for the drink and when asking the server about the drink he suddenly didn't understand. There was a language disconnect and another customer who spoke mandarin tried to come assist. It was kinda embarrassing because the server was getting loud with us but my sister was just trying to understand how she was charged for a drink when the server said the children meal came with a drink. A few other issues I observed that are definitely health risk are sushi that was prepared and sitting out on a cart uncovered and that looked like it wasn't on any ice or refrigeration. Then while standing in line for my Hibachi the cook saw a plate of white rice that had been left on top of the counter in front of the grills. He took the rice and added it back to the rice container on the raw food line that you grab for the Hibachi. So yes Ginza is well decorated and has all the bells and whistles (AYCE sushi, crab leg, and crawfish) but there are loads of areas they need to improve in.

Wow this is probably one of the best buffets I've ever been to. Love the fake cherry blossom trees outside of the building and inside was stunning. There were so many options, I was a bit overwhelmed and wanted to try everything. The lighting and decor is beautiful inside. Everything I tasted was delicious. My favorite was the crab legs, steamed fish, raw sashimi, and fried chicken. It was very clean and our server Greg was pleasant. I can't wait to come back and it's one of the best prices for all you can eat including crab legs.

Beautiful setting with lots of food options to select from. All the food also tasted great. Only complaint about the food was the crab leg, it's a bit overcooked so some legs you have to work a little harder to get the meat out. We also went with a bigger party of 10 and was sat a a table next to another large party which made it kind of tight for us but we made it work and that won't stop us from coming back as everything else here exceeded my expectation.

I would have given 5 stars but some of the food on the buffet was cold, especially the Chinese options at the back. The hibachi bar was good with a lot of options. Sushi was fresh and very good, they have soy paper and seaweed options which makes me happy. Music was very diverse, I would rather hear something of the culture but it's ok. Our waiter was working so hard, kept our drinks filled up. If you do come expect a wait, they do not have a good system to seat people, you come in and they give sticky notes with numbers on them, it's hard to get in and out with so many people and hardly any seating for those waiting. Is it worth the wait, that's the question? I would come during the week, I came on a Saturday at 4.

Looks great inside the price point is really good. The food taste great, but some of the food wasn't hot. Crab legs were cold. Our server was pushy when it came time to pay. Small Asian woman.

The food was fresh and delicious. Lots of variety including a sushi bar and Habachi grill. Also have Alaskan snow crab legs for dinner. The restaurant was clean even the restroom. Service was great as well. Nice Clean and upscale for a Chinese and Japanese buffet. Best in Gastonia, NC. Must try if you are in the area
