Ichigo Ichie Buffet

I stumbled upon this location while out shopping. After seeing how affordable it is I decided to give it a try. Personally I go to buffets like this for the all you can eat sushi so my review is going to be a little biased. I really liked the selection they had for the sushi. They had a variety from crab to tuna and salmon as well as white fish. Other restaurants tend to just have an abundance of crab rolls so it was nice to see they had different fish available. The servers were nice and picked up the plates pretty quickly. I don't think the pile ever got some more than one round for all of us. The restaurant looks really nice. The chandeliers over the food are a nice touch. If you're in the area, I would definitely recommend checking this place out.

You know I always keep it real. When I give a bad review you know its the honest truth.I ate here on a Friday night, our waitress was amazing and extremely polite and always had a smile on her face. This place used to have a really original atmosphere but it seems like its starting to become unkept.None of the food I ate was actually hot to be honest it was barely warm. So I said Im just gonna have some of the smaller deserts. The cheese cake was so stale you could break it in two. Now I had one of the small eclair which also looked stale, I took one bite and instantly tasted something funny, so I took a napkin and removed it. I look at the uneaten portion and there was green mold. So not to make a scene i put it into a napkin and went to the hostess and showed her, she got the manager. Yes they were extremely apologetic. But here is what got me, she said ok Ill give you a discount. We were a party of four. The discount was they charged myself as a child $11.99.The meal was 75.00 came out to a $15 tip which was deserved, our waitress was amazing.But im sorry I left nauseated. Sorry but I will not be returning and its a shame because it used to be a really fun place.

I love me a decent Chinese buffet for a great value. This dinner buffet for $15.99 fit the bill, but the soft drink was not included (add $2.99). Nothing was gourmet here but it was easy to get your money's worth, which is easier these days as Chinese takeout is cray cray pricey!They had a Hibachi where you can load your plate with raw proteins (shrimp, chicken, beef, pork) and choose from tons of veggies, rice/noods and even raw eggs. They had some different sauces and I asked for garlic with some chili and it came back pretty bland. I wish they'd let me make my own sauce as I'd make a killer flavorful dish. It was cooked well and I was able to add white sauce! The bonus is hibachi is always HOT!They had very few entree dishes available in comparison with desserts, salads, pizza, appetizers, and other items. The entree's I did try were not overly hot so I just tried them for flavor. They need to make sure the food is hot hot hot. It was not not not!If you like seafood, they had some good options with peel and eat shrimp, crawfish, some other big red crustacean (where greedy people were taking ALL of them like they're the only ones in the restaurant). They also had raw oysters and sushi. I was heading to a bar afterwards and skipped the messy items and potentially dangerous raw items.They had a variety of soups as well. I love adding wontons to my hot and sour soup, which actually had a kick to it! Fun. The Crab Rangoons were great too, as were the dumplings.The best thing I had was the chicken wing! It had that "Yellow" flavor (I don't know what it is, but I love it), but the wing was hot, juicy, crispy and delicious which is a rare combo in chicken wing world. I could have just eaten these and got my money's worth, but wanted to sample other stuff.I skipped the desserts and ice cream, but could see why people would load up on these things.The place was pretty big, the service was great with the waitstaff hustling to refill drinks and clear plates. I went on a Saturday during dinner to hopefully maximize the freshness of the food (a good idea at any buffet). It did not maximize hotness. 3 stars because you have to hunt for hot food. I'm not sure if I'd go back or not as there are other options in the area I'd try. I don't live close but if I did, I might make it a once-a-month indulgence.

I love Asian food and all you can eat so I had to try this place out! My friend wanted to try it so we came for Sunday all day dinner. The restaurant was clean and the staff was very attentive. They have a good variety of everything. I tried a little bit of everything to find out what I liked the most and save room for it. I found a lot of the food to be lukewarm and nothing fried was crispy. The food and sushi overall was not great. Can't list everything but I'll make a few notes. Mac and Cheese wasn't cheesy no flavor. Krab Rangoon were good but they were cold and not crispy. Honey Chicken was okay and so was the General Tsos, sauce was good but it felt like it was left to sit out for awhile. Lo Mein just tasted like spaghetti with light sauce on it. Fried Rice just tasted like regular rice. Sushi was okay, the fish wasn't bad. Shrimp were very mushy and I couldn't stomach the texture. The Miso Soup was okay not bad. Coconut Shrimp was good. The desserts were okay. There are other buffets that are way better than this place and around the same price. I don't see myself coming back here. If they were to keep their food hot it would make a big difference. I would not recommend this place though.

I've eaten here twice and I've enjoyed the food each time. Both visits were during the lunch hours. My favorites are the hibachi bar and the sushi but the bourbon chicken, general tso, pepper chicken and orange chicken were also good. Worth the price.

After a long morning, we decided to stop for lunch at the sanford location. We were greeted by Friendly staff and seated within seconds. Both the hibachi grill and the sushi bar were included with the lunch menu There was plenty to choose from. Definitely not a five star lunch Experience, but it's worth mentioning that everything was fresh.Fried chicken was crispy.Egg rolls were tasty

We came to Ichigo Ichie Buffet not expecting much but did have a good meal but not as wide as selection as other Chinese Buffets we been to in the area.First when entering they entrance was no trills and did not have that welcome feeling. We were greeted by a hostess and given a booth in a fairly empty restaurant. It was a little after 1 pm so maybe the lunch crowd had already left.As I mentioned the food selection was less than other places we have recently visited but the food we had was good.Our waitress did remove our plates when we go up for another visit and my tea was refilled. One thing I didn't care for were the plates were styrofoam.Overall the food was good, the service was good and the price was also fair. We also had coupons which gave us $2 off which we applied to the tip.The men's bathroom had trash on the floor and a missing urinal but appeared clean.We probably will not be returning due to other places nearby we prefer but if you are in the area and like Chinese buffets give it a try.

I always liked the food. And the owners are very sweet people. The ambience is beautiful. Their different kinds of foods there you have to try it.

the ladies are wonderful and super sweet. we are regulars there and they greet us as we walk in and already know what our drinks are. the food is on point and delicious for it being a buffet. food is always hot and fresh and we always enjoy the atmosphere here. thanks for always a great experience. Bring back Linda Ichie ichigo...

So I eat here somewhat frequently. The food is not too bad. The service is my problem. All the ladies that work here look very mad and act very mad. From the ones that seat you and takes your drink order to the one that clears your plates. The only time you get a bit of a smile is when they hand you the check with the fortune cookies.If I knew of better Chinese buffets I probably would stop going here all together.
