    House Special Chow Mein, Sesame Chicken, shrimp

    I was hoping for a lot more food options, but I did enjoy my meal for the price ($11/person for lunch) The dessert that was offered was very little/not very appealing. I did try some weird sponge cake squares with frosting on top(?)

    They were other locations for Asian food in the area but they were delivery and take out only. As we walk to the front door we saw a sign that said we are clean. That was enough for me to eat at this location. We were immediately greed it at the door by young man well I learned later was named David. David walked us to our table gave us two plastic cooking gloves and asked what we would like to drink. The Buffet had plenty of food but not a large variety that I would've like to see. But they continue to bring out hot food, and David continue to clean around the Buffay table. He was very careful to bring everyone into the facility and sent them separately. However there was one couple with two children that entered and did not have a mask, and there was one Lady of that group that went to the Buffay table without her glove. I would've like to see that be in forced. Besides that small unclean family not coming to common decency about stairs and state mandates about mask, the food was delicious there was an equal amount of meats, salads and fruit and desserts. But I would've liked to have seen more vegetables on the Buffet. Can't beat the service though, our server was very kind and you could see (figuratively) the smile through her mask. She was very hospitable and courteous and concerned about our visit. I just didn't want to ruin the mood mentioning that family without the mask, because we were finishing our dinner. But I won't let that little incident stop me from coming back to this wonderful establishment with this great service and delicious food. Thank you for being open during this temporary season in America and the world. I will be back!

    Pretty good, even at 2:30 in the afternoon. There were fresh items being brought out to restock the steam tables. The usual staples of such things - beef and brocoli, battered chicken in a lemon sauce, lo mein noodles, fried rice and the like. As well, one bar dedicated to fried stuff, including french fries, onion rings, crab rangoon and spring rolls. I skipped that one. Dessert bar had some fruit and cake that looked like it wasn't worth the effort, but they have to try, right? Full meal, $6.99. $3 tip because the gal kept my water glass filled and cleared dirty plates quickly. I thought it was pretty good. Better than most. I was especially pleased that it was this good between the lunch and dinner crowds.

    It's been almost a decade since I've been here...but recently, we visited for dinner…read more The place looked just as I remembered it...but felt a few things were missing. Still, there were an abundant variety of items. The thing that impressed me the most was their ramen-noodle bar! Think this was the first buffet place that had that. Also, they had an unusual assortment of dessert items. Guess the thing I didn't love was their sushi rolls. As tempting as they looked, they just didn't taste too fresh...but that's a given, in that I don't think I've ever had truly amazing sushi roll in any buffet place. Overall, we enjoyed the buffet...and vowed that we'll return sooner than later next time!

    The food was decent, but unfortunately the service completely ruined the experience. My dad and I…read morewere finishing our meal around 8:45 pm, and the restaurant closes at 9 pm. Our server started pushing us to pay while we were still eating. I politely asked if I could pay at the front like I normally do, but she didn't speak English and became very pushy and rude. They began removing dishes from the table before closing time and before giving any kind of last call. I asked to speak with the manager, but when he arrived he also did not speak English, so there was no real way to properly explain the situation. At 9:01 pm we were basically told to leave. I completely understand restaurants have closing times, but there is a respectful way to handle it, usually by giving customers a heads-up and allowing them time to finish their meal instead of rushing them out the door. As someone who worked in restaurants when I was younger, I know that basic communication and courtesy are essential. What also felt uncomfortable was the atmosphere among the staff. The employees seemed extremely nervous and afraid to speak or explain anything, which made the whole situation feel strange and unsettling. It honestly gave the impression that they were scared to say the wrong thing or do anything outside of strict instructions, which was sad to witness. Overall, the food might be fine, but the service and the way the situation was handled made it a very disappointing experience.

Mister Tokyo delivered exactly that kind of danger today, the good kind, the kind where you already know you're going to waddle out the door but you don't care because every bite is worth it. The service was friendly and warm from the start, the kind of easy hospitality that makes it simple to settle in and start ordering without feeling rushed or judged. My waiter brought me a menu without hesitation and never blinked when I ordered another plate and then another, just kept the rhythm going with a smile and the kind of quiet efficiency that makes the whole experience feel smooth and relaxed. I worked my way through seaweed salad, nigiri rolls, sashimi, chicken katsu, and even a few hand rolls because sometimes you want to feel a little fancy while you're stuffing yourself silly. Everything was prepared well, everything arrived quickly, and everything tasted fresh and clean, which is exactly what you want when you're committing to a long lunch of steady grazing. It was all really great and I loved every bit of it. Five stars for Mister Tokyo. [Review 176 of 2026 - 4562 in North Carolina - 25365 overall]

    Restaurant is crowded, felt like we were in a crowded deli/ cafeteria. Pictures are misleading…read more This is not an upscale place. Just a mediocre place with upscale pricing. One single person bathroom per gender. Food- hardly came our way, we had to ask several times if there was more meat coming. Shrimp came out several times to other tables but not to ours. We had to finally ask if we can have some. We were a table of four and kept getting the scraps - not enough for a table if we all said yes to the option. (Example chicken wings came by- only two wings available on the stick...) One time the meat came by with a long hair / fuzz attached to the meat and with seasonings... Salad bar - the lettuce and basic salad options were gone both times I went up to grab some. Drink service/ water refills were lacking. Had to ask repeatedly. Overall service - not at all the usual friendliness you can expect from a Brazilian establishment. Servers seemed unmotivated - just a sad vibe especially for Valentines weekend. Price- none on the menu. Turned out our "valentines special" rodizio was 60/adult. When I asked what that included - I was told it is because they offered shrimp and veal tonight... Way too expensive for the service and the ambiance. A disappointing birthday dinner. We don't plan to return.

    Very nice Ambiance, very friendly staff and easy to get to…read more The restaurant was very clean, ample parking and ot was not busy for a Saturday afternoon. The concept is simple, you grab your own sides & Green Side for "Go" red side for "No" when it comes to the meats. Multiple options for sides that were fresh and delicious. They offer a variety of meats including lamb,Filet Mignon, chicken wings, bacon wrapped chicken, brisket, steak, and our favorite dessert the Brown Sugar glazed Pineapple!!. You can eat until your heart & stomachs desire. I also had a white Sangria which paired perfectly with my meal. I would return for sure and would surely recommend this location .
