    Just like the Tamarac location, Chinese buffet with hibachi. Lots of food to choose from, normal Chinese foods to sushi to a nice dessert bar. We were seated quickly for a party of 4. Great prices. Huge dining area. I like this location a little bit better. Food was good, especially the fried crab

    This is one of the better buffets. The price is not expensive for dinner nor lunch. Lots of options from sushi, chicken wings, different types of rices, hibachi, and so many more options. The food was fresh and tasty and I constantly saw them replace the bins with fresher food. As soon as you enter you are greeted and the staff is friendly. I did notice that some staff had some drama or something was going on because we saw one employee crying. The place has a nice entrance with lots of seating and very clean. The only thing I did not like was that the bathroom was dirty. Toilet paper everywhere, toilets not flushed, the stalls were not cleaned. Overall, it's very inexpensive and worth the money, just don't expect a clean bathroom, but everything else is clean.

    I came on a Sunday for dinner. The restaurant was a little crowded. They sat us pretty fast. The restaurant is good at managing crowds. Everything seems to flow smoothly. I noticed The staff was fast at cleaning empty tables and getting them ready for new customers. Everything was well organized, great management. The buffet was good. Everything was stocked at all times. The people looking after it were on point. I was happy with the selections they had. What I had tasted good and fresh. My family liked the place. The dessert table was a dream lol. The salads tasted fresh. I was happy with the spread they had. This wasn't a loud place eventhough it was busy. I could hear the music playing. I liked the choice it had. The atmosphere was pleasant. The staff fast and friendly. My family enjoyed the place.

    Went for the great unlimited lunch and it was just as advertised UNLIMITED. The selection of apps, sides and meats is really impressive. Very friendly service including a robot that brings out some dishes to the table which was very cute. Left full and will definitely be back!

    Chow Time is an Asian buffet in the Pines area right at the corner of Pembroke Road and Flamingo. I've grown up coming here and have seen the name change a few times but got to dine recently here with friends. You really can't beat the prices here, even for dinner. A great option if you're going with a big group or just want to eat an AYCE buffet without breaking the bank. I think I am a bit more picky with my buffets since I've been to a few but this one is okay. They have a pretty wide selection but everything was just okay. They have sushi, hibachi, crawfish, hot foods and more. The hibachi didn't have as much selection for seasonings or sauces and the bowl I got my finished hibachi in was chipped. The service was fast for bringing out our drinks but for a Monday dinner, it felt like our server was rushing us out although it wasn't too busy. For desserts, they had a pretty big selection but everything was featured in masses so the quality wasn't there although it was high quantity. I'm so used to green tea or pistachio being an ice cream flavor at all Asian buffets, I was a little sad they didn't have that here but that's just a personal let down. Overall, a good buffet if you're looking to get a bang for your buck.

They also offer a really nice variety of menu options, so there's always something new to try. While they do accept walk-ins, I highly recommend making a reservation because it can get busy. The servers are very knowledgeable about the menu and always happy to help guide your selections. From the moment we were seated, we were warmly greeted and our server remained attentive throughout our entire visit. He took the time to thoroughly explain the evening's specials and was genuinely enthusiastic about highlighting the sushi featured on the specials menu. There wasn't a single item we ordered that we wouldn't get again. We also had the chance to come for their Valentine's Day special, which was a prix fixe menu, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Everything felt thoughtfully curated and beautifully executed. Overall, it's one of our favorite sushi spots in the area and we always look forward to coming back.

The starter omakase runs about $68. It was around seven courses plus dessert, and honestly, every dish pulled its weight. Bonus points to the server, who gave clear, thoughtful explanations. Menu-wise, don't expect a parade of rolls they're clearly nudging you toward the omakase experience. But if that's the goal, they're doing it right. All in all, a really enjoyable meal and one I'd happily circle back to, next time to explore more of the menu.

This spot is located in an unassuming shopping center where a Nicklaus building is, which is perfect for when you're in the mood to keep a low profile. It's a small, intimate restaurant with counter top seating and a few tables. From the moment we walked in, the folks chopped it up with us and made jokes, which is great because it broke the ice in a way that felt like you were amongst friends. Excellent service all around. We sat at one of the tables as we intended to do a lot of talking and didn't want to be noisy at the counter. We decided to take the recommendation of the staff and did the omakase express option and a sake sampler pairing with three different kinds. No notes here because everything was great, there were several "MMMM!" moments (wish I remembered what each bite was!) and the first sake we got (pictured) was fantastic. Would definitely buy it to have at home. Big shout out to Allie, who covered our table on her first day, was very cool and definitely helped steer the dinner in the right direction. If you're in the Doral area and in the mood for some quality Japanese, definitely stop by here!
