Kirin II Japanese Seafood Buffet

Never thought I would dig sushi and buffet together but this place makes it work. Not to far from the office, I usually come here with coworkers when I'm called into the office or if friends are nearby and want to get their meal on in a timely fashion.Typical asian eats buffet with your standard asian/american cuisines such as the sesame chicken, beef/broccoli, fried rice, and veggie lo mein; all in the hot foods bar area. It's aight, nothing I would jump up and down for. There's also some seafood items here including peel shrimp, seafood puffs, and I think some scallop dishes. Desserts included brownies, jello, and some cookies. Heard they have green tea ice cream but I didnt' see any. Maybe I didn't look in the right spot. But the main reason this buffet is a notch above others is the sushi which is why I mainly come here. There's several sushi items available including the spicy tuna roll and common sushimi items along with sushi rolls. Drizzle that honey wasabi mayo and ponzu sauces with some of that seaweed salad and you'll be reminded why places like this appeal to you when you're feeling glutenous for sushi.I haven't tried dinner here; heard it's way more pricey due to the items they'll serve which includes crab legs, crawfish, and probably more desserts. Nonetheless, the lunch w/ drink runs about $18-20/person which is affordable in this day and age.If you've got an appetite, and you like sushi, definitely roll up here.

This is a very quaint restaurant with a quiet atmosphere without the hustle and bustle of folks all over the open all you can eat bar. The food is sensibly placed in small amounts but refreshed every few minutes which I appreciate. We enjoyed the king crab legs that are self served from the buffet but you can request the wait staff to warm them up and bring hot butter. They did a good job keeping the crab legs replenished. My main objective was to eat all the boiled shrimp and crab legs I could so I really can't say anything much about the other foods. I did taste the fried rice but I found the rice to be either not fresh or not cooked long enough. The grilled fish was nice as well. The sushi was plentiful and beautifully displayed but didn't go for any of it. We are definitely going back again very soon. We enjoyed our dinner there. Great staff!

Great food, Great service keeps me returning., Need I write more to post the review??

I've passed by this place many times going to sushi choo choo.Finally, we've decided to try this place. We were greeted and seated the soonest we walked in the door. They accommodated my mum by seating us at the front tables so she doesn't have too long to walk. I was surprised to see they only had two buffet settings. The website made it look like they offered a lot of food. I was disappointed there weren't enough choices like the other Japanese buffets we've been to. Their sushi and sashimi table is good, my kids and I enjoyed the salmon, tuna and yellow fin tuna and the rolls. They seem to be fresh and they are constantly keeping them filled as they were depleted rather quickly. It was good and some of the items weren't that great as they were just bland. The steamed but cold crab legs were rather too salty but good. Staff were attentive when needed.Too little menu choices for the money-I will visit other places instead.

My friend wanted to meet up last minute for dinner, and he suggested this place. I had driven past it many many times, and I had intended to visit for years. Just my luck!We visited on a Monday, and the place was fairly dead, but that was expected given that it was a Monday. Despite that, the full spread was out and on display. There's a section dedicated to hot items, desserts, and sushi! I admittedly stuck to nigiri, sashimi, a few rolls, special request spider and spicy tuna hand rolls (ask for less rice). The selection was pretty good. And of course one must try the most popular item, the snow crab legs! Since it wasn't very crowded, these never ran low or out. We weren't provided shell crackers, though I didn't ask. They're not a necessity though. The meat came out easily. The surprise item I enjoyed was the duck! It was nicely cooked and tasty.Definitely request a scoop of green tea ice cream from your server! What's offered on the dessert buffet line is generic factory made stuff, though the brownies tasted homemade.If you enjoy sushi and snow crabs, this place will be a win. If you don't consume those or other seafood, you might feel like the $30 buffet price isn't worth it. Hope to return when I want to be a glutton!

I usually don't write reviews, but I had to for this place. Kirin is the best buffet I've ever been to. The sushi tastes amazing and my stomach was not hurting afterwards. The service was wonderful! Our waiter was so sweet. He must've overheard us saying, "Happy birthday!" to our celebrator. He offered to bring a slice of cake for her! Food recommendations:- The Grilled Fish (it's called something different. Starts with an "I")- Pepper Salmon nigiri- Teriyaki ChickenThe dessert was pretty good too. They had such neat slices of cake, fruit, macaroons (coconut), cream puffs, and more.The place itself is kind of small. I'd recommend getting a reservation just in case because it gets pretty busy. We went on the weekend so keep that in mind if you're going on the weekend. Also, they had a sign saying they were closed on Tuesdays. That's it. Thanks for reading!

This place isn't terrible the crab legs, crawfish and sushi make it worth the price. My only thing is, they put a little too much rice in their sushi, but besides that sushi pretty decent. Service was fast and the vibes were chill. The options to pick from aren't huge but they're still good. I wouldn't mind coming back here.

Good food and fresh seafood on the buffet. Crab legs and oysters! Nice, clean, quiet place.

Kirin II is a solid choice for a satisfying Japanese dining experience. The restaurant boasts a spacious and inviting atmosphere and plenty of options for the family. I have been going for +10 years. Recommended

So good just high dollar! Friendly clean service. Great sushi. I had lunch over there and I know dinner is high on weekends and that's understandable because they have crab legs. But I think it's worth it.
