Visit date: December 26, 2015. We dont know how that place is still open. It is now called the "Ichaban" buffet. I would give a 0 stars if i had the option. Horrible. Simply and utterly HORRIBLE! On a scale of 0, horrible, to 4, great, stars. I will rate the following topics: Garlic Bread: 4 Service: 1 Explanation is as follows.... There were only two people that were working in the public area of the buffet: the hostess, who was clean, and a waitress, who looked kind of grimy. With only 3 other familys there, youd think they would come by more often to fill up our drinks, and take away used dishes.... Cleanliness: 2 Explanation is as follows.... All of our cups were dirty. Each had some sort of grime on them, couldnt figure out if it was inside or outside the glass. We asked the waitress twice for new glasses, both times they were still dirty with the same grime. Only when we asked the hostess for some clean glasses, we finally were able to drink our drinks. The dishes, forks, and buffet area was clean enough to the eye. The ceiling above the buffet area, however, was full of water damage. Quite a few of the tiles looked as if they were going to burst, right above where the food is. I could only imagine what could drip into the food when it storms. Food Freshness: 2.5 The pop and lemonade tasted old and watered down. Even the water was not good....The chicken, ok, but chewy.......Mushrooms, ok......... Do not eat the vegetables. The broccoli, carrots, etc. very bitter and tastes expired. Will add more later.

Wow, Im so disgusted at this restaurant. We arrived around 12:30 and I immediately went into the ladies bathroom, not only did it stink, there was toilet paper, urine, and feces all over the floor. We should have honestly left but management overheard and cleaned the bathroom up (attempted to go again, it was still utterly stinky and there was still urine on the floor). The food did not look appetizing, and what I ended up sampling was not tasty and didnt seem fresh. I ended up settling just for some egg drop and chicken broth, couldnt even use the wontons because they looked old and dry. The air conditioning also did not work, which was extremely uncomfortable because its already 90 degrees outside. Please save your money, because if you complain to management even though you only ate half a bowl of their soup, they wont understand what you say and make you pay anyway.

A seat your self , do everything yourself restaurant buffet allowed everything to move smoothly and orderly considering everyone was polite and courteous. The main entree options were limiting and basic in nature the typical sesame seed chicken,beef and broccoli a few shrimp scattered here and there I visited for lunch which is a cheaper price so that could be the reason as to why the options were so limited. The desserts were fairly poor lacking flavor texture and seemed like they were just present to make people think that there are alot of options. There were alot of dessert options but all in which were very poor. It Was if they took the poorest portions of all their fruits, ice,cream, baked goods and cobbled them together to offer a large selection of rubbish.

Certainly not the best buffet Ive ever been to and Ive been on the island long enough to know this establishments SORDID history...but its okay. Id say the food is 50/50 with mongolian beef, pepper chicken, and coconut shrimp leading in terms of freshness and taste. Sushi is pretty rank, burned my hand on a serving spoon in a tray that had been moved and was sitting in a jet stream of steam, dead-eyed employees running around and checking all the food was weird at the least but mostly irritating as they dove and weaved in front of and around people to get to the trays and loudly bang the spoons/tongs around. Price is okay though I dont really think its worth 12 bucks a person or whatever. Opt for cheaper lunch prices.

Its changed hands many times...simply Chinese food. Turned me off when an apparent manager of sorts started screaming at a waitress for some odd reason over by the ice cream freezer...whatever he said (in his own language) was unknown but it must have been mean. I believe the name has since changed too...typical buffet food there is crab legs for a huge up charge... The desserts are mediocre and of something off of a food delivery truck. They do have some decent food specialities that looks like they may have put son time and effort into cooking since they are displayed.

They just changed their name again to Ichiban Buffet. I eat there twice and felt bad afterword’s and so did my family. So I looked up there rating on the Brevard Health code violation site. They are leading. but for the bad! 60 or so violations in less than a year, and not minor stuff. If you have stomach like Horse and like to eat Road kill for Dinner, this is totally up your ally! This is not a joke look it up online.

My son and I found this buffet one day, didnt even know it was there. It was amazing, more choices than were used to for chinese buffet including a FULL sushi bar. We stuffed ourselves and yet didnt feel glutted out for doing so LOL... it was a satisfying full so to speak. Everything was fresh and tasty and were looking forward to going back.

The food was okay and price was fair for all you can eat the Chinese food was great but the American stuff was a little lacking their booths are really small though so if youre a big guy like me and you like to sit in booths your in for a disappointment because you might not fit in them or they would be very uncomfortable

There was hardly any food out, what was left was very hard & cold. The taste of most fried things tasted like it was burnt, the seafood salad tasted awful. Had to ask for silverware and they couldnt even understand me due to not being as to understand or speak English. J will never come back here again.

Ranch tasted rotten with mustard tinge to it, sweet and sour chicken batter was not cooked all the way, the rice smelt and tasted like rotten milk, buffalo chicken wasnt cooked all the way, and the place is almost completely empty. The people are super friendly but the food is not good.
