I would rate this 0 stars but I need to rate it one star so you can know how bad this place is. Me and my boyfriend walk in and it didnt look too bad. We went for our first plate. Everything was stale and the chicken tastes so bad Im almost positive I have salmonella. Ill find out later tonight. Then we went for the sushi which looked like it was sitting there for hours and even that tasted disgusting. It tasted old and smelled. Then we go for our last plate. My boyfriend got pizza and I got an apple pie. His pizza was stale and the sauce was dry. He always finishes all of his food but he couldnt eat it. And I go to eat my Apple pie and there was a dark curly hair under the glaze on the top. I couldnt even eat it. And to top it all off my boyfriend didnt even get a fortune in his fortune cookie. 30 bucks for garbage. I recommend Ginza to anyone that wants really good sushi and Asian cuisine. Or Asian Buffet thats good too. But dont go here. Its not worth it. Me and my boyfriend have horrible stomachaches right now and we didnt even eat a lot. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. Save your money guys!

Went there with my husband and daughter tonight (celebrating her first day as a freshman). It was around 7 pm and walking in to see only 3 other occupied tables concerned me from the get go. I will begin by saying it was very clean and the servers were friendly and attentive. Unfortunately the food was not good. The egg rolls tasted like cinnamon (5 spice was it in there and Im a fan of it but this was overpowering), the majority of the food was just mediocre and dried out. The desserts tasted like they kept them in the fridge unwrapped and worst of all the pineapple and watermelon were clearly rotting. By far the worst buffet weve been to. We still paid and were greatful, didnt complain to them and tipped as its not the servers fault but will not be returning and we certainly dont recommend going to others. I hope we just went on an off night, its a nice little place and we hope the owners find a way to do better.

Wonderful sushi! This place can stand up to the more expensive sushi restaurants in the area. Its fresh and full-sized, not like the fun-sized sushi at Saki. Best part, you can help yourself and if you dont like it they dont bill you per piece. Their hibachi chef is awesome! He even does a little bit of a show. Absolutely worth the trip. At $11.99 during the week, its an economical place to eat. Well worth every cent! *UPDATE. The quality has dropped off dramatically since it first opened. My fiancé spent an entire night vomiting from likely the sushi. It was dried out and the big bowl of Wasabi was gray on the outside. We gave it one more chance in spite of that and both of us ended up with very bad "digestion trouble". Its sad. We really liked that place.

The food is good and I often get take out. I recently filled a take out box and went to pay. The owner said it was $8.95 plus tax. I handed him my credit card and he gave me the slip to sign. I did have my readers on and in good faith signed it. Got home and discovered a $38 charge. I went back the next day to get my money back. He said I had two eat in buffets plus a takeout. He then sorted through the entire days tickets, but could not find one for me. He reluctantly gave me back the overcharge. That is the last time I eat there.

They put out the right amount of food so that new batches are always being brought out. The staff is friendly, and courteous. The dishes they make are actually well done and very tasty. Feature dinner items are snow crab legs, oysters, sushi, sashimi, made to order habachi, crawfish, and all the usual suspects found in a Chinese Buffett and also some pleasant surprises like the garlic egg plant. My only complaint is that they close at 9:30 most nights.

maybe on paper it is a new place, but its filty, ladies room a disgrace, should be shut down just for that, and this was "week 1" . small variety of food for higher price, compared to Buffet across from wiregrass. notice broken blind on emergency exit door, been that way for years, new entrance and sushi bar but same filth, people open your eyes, it will only regress and get worse, you will see ! Stop looking at quantity and look at quality !!!!

Was very happy the first time we went. Clean, friendly help. Lots of different selections. We couldnt wait to return. Stopped in today- very disappointed. - The fried shrimp was coated and overcooked. Couldnt eat it. The dumplings were actually burnt on the bottom. I realize they were really busy but the kitchen cooks need to be a little more alert. Will try one more time as maybe it was a new cook

It was horrible, will never dine here again. Everything was bland, dried out or watery. The only thing good was the iced tea, oh and extremely crunchy cold broccoli that was supposed to be cooked. Even the pudding was warm. Not a fan, been there before and it was just ok, guess when you want crab legs go to a seafood restaurant. We just had a taste for a little bit of everything.

I entered at closing time and they were so polite. The new owners are very nice. Last night my family ate EVERYTHING! Hubby loved the sushi, my favorite is the hibachi grill. They cook it fresh at no extra cost. The egg drop soup is awesome too. The seafood selection is much more than I had expected as well. Imperial buffet is a must do.

The lunch buffet is great 7.99 for all you can eat hibachi, sushi, they even have pizza and chicken fingers for the kids. Service was fast, my drink was always full. Ice cream after is a must they usually have over 6 different flavors. I have never been there for dinner but lunch was great !!

We went to this place when it open and then again and again. There place is nice and the people are nice and the sushi is made fresh and if you dont see your sushi they will make you it. The grill is awesome and my son loves the grill his favorite is Shrimps and mushrooms.

Except for the fact that the waitress was rude when I took the rice off of the sushi because I didnt want any more rice she was going to charge me for dinner and I told her no and she said but just this one time and because of her rudeness I stiffed her on the tip
