Ichiban Buffet

one of the best buffet around here. I came all the way from Jacksonville. I keep coming here every time. There is no where else I rather be

Upon entry they had an exhaust fan at the front door which should have been enough of a red flag yet we still proceeded. We did a quick walk around to purview the offerings and it looked mediocre at best but our little one wanted sushi buffet desperately. She enjoyed the sushi a little but the the rest of the food was barely meh. What had a taste was worse than meh.. The hot sake was lukewarm. The hibachi was alright but they had to call the chef out to cook it and he seemed put out to even address his responsibility. The jello was more like a sticky hand toy than something one would ingest purposefully. The rest of the dessert offerings if weren't stale tasted like cardboard with icing. The service was only slightly exceed by the cleanliness l, which was less than desirable to be generous. Sadly, or not, it seemed that many of the local patrons loaded up their plates with spatulas full of less than average delectables.

Not friendly staff. Had a shell fish food allergy concerns. Said eat the ribs which was placed between crab and crawfish. No set system to food on Buffett. A lot of cross contamination for people with allergies. Said use Hibachi which would have been fine. Except they cook shrimp on it. Seemed bothered to clean grill before cooking. Has always been a goto place when visiting area NOT any more. Felt dirty after leaving there.

Who doesn't love a good Buffet!! Well look no further, if you are in the St. Augustine Area you must try Inchinan Buffet (Sushi,Hibachi & Grill) This place got us seated quick and fresh food available to service. There was such a variety of things to try from Beef, Chicken, Veggies, Fries... who doesn't love bottomless fries LOL!! Unfortunately we visited during the late evening so the dinner buffet price for the drink was $19.99, just a quick heads up.

The Coconut Shrimp is a glorious, glowing, dish of divine, Heavenly, sensory overload. (A Food-gasm) I got it delivered by DoorDash on 07/31/ 2022, and it was still piping hot! I'll definitely be making a trip there to have it again because, I live outside the delivery range now.

The food is amazing especially for me because I love to eat and try new foods. They also have a wide variety of different foods that fit all appetites for any occasion, age, and different types of food you might want or like. There is always speedy service and plenty of table room for a bunch of people to sit, talk, and eat. That is why I recommend Ichiban Buffet

We are locals and used to come here occasionally, the food is always hit and miss, mostly cold and stale-tasting. The sushi bar does not look or taste fresh at all, I would just avoid it. Ambiance is what you would expect, the terrible odor catches you off guard though. The last time we were here, the service was atrocious--I ordered a soda and my friend ordered tea, he took a sip of my soda and the waitress didn't want to refill my drink because we were sharing and apparently thta was against their rules. She proceeded to argue with us for 10min. so we had to talk to the manager who was even more unprofessional and unpleasant. I don't even know if I should call them stingy or irrational, but if they are counting pennies on the dime over soda, I can only imagine all the corners they are cutting in the kitchen. I would avoid this place altogether.

The first thing you experience as you enter the restaurant is a terrible odor and dangerously slippery floors. Not wet, just slippery. Perhaps slimy is a better word. The buffet assortment is vast, but the quality of the food is abysmal. I had boneless pork and sweet and sour chicken. Both items had the same taste... as if they were prepared in cookery that still had dish soap in them. The rice is bland. The dishes that you take in order to serve yourself are a sticky, gooey mess. Yes, all of them. I don't know what the stickiness is and I don't want to know. The prices are very low for the lowest quality Chinese buffet food I've ever had. Even the pizza was hard, cold and had a strange taste to it. The overall experience was unpleasant, to say the least and I wouldn't eat there again if you paid me. There are MANY wonderful Chinese buffet restaurants, but this is not one of them.

Was in on Father's Day yesterday and by coincidence they were running a discounted special. All in all you get a decent Chinese/asian buffet meal here in a typical buffet environment. This location keeps the food areas clean and well stocked with freshly prepared dishes. Good selection of cold salad, Chinese, seafood, sushi and hibachi grill items. Take advantage of the hibachi grill where you get to hand select your components and watch while it is prepared in front of you. Servers are great and do a great job of picking up plates and refilling your drinks. Only reason it isn't a 5 star is the clientele isn't exactly as expected, so the overall ambiance isn't what you would hope for, but let's face it, that's not why you come here to eat so enjoy one of the few buffets left in the area.

For a buffet this place is solid. I came in with my expectations low but it's honestly not bad. We came on Sunday night at about 630, food trays were loaded and they filled them back every few mins. The food isn't great and doesn't taste like Chinese take out but it's not horrible either. And if you're in a mood where you can throw back some food, you'll def get your moneys worth. I really liked that they had fries for my toddler too. Most food is bland and some have a bit too much sugar. However for an all you can eat buffet for about $20/ adult at dinner, we left happy and full! I also didn't explode in the bathroom that night, which is a major plus considering what I ate.
