    Dim sum buns, Shumai and mushrooms

    Came here for dinner after googling and yelping this place, pictures looked good and later learned that it was deceiving. I would highly recommend before sitting down that you can take a walk and survey what they are serving. We didn't do that and paid the ultimate price. There was barely anything that looked good and appetizing. The food that we ate didn't even tasted fresh. Hibachi food line had barely anything, everything looked cross contaminated. The rest of the food line tasted old or frozen. The pho bar, everything came out of the bag when they were refilling it. That was the only decent part but overall, it's not worth it. Maybe it was good prior to covid? But not worth it.

    Upon entering you're greeted and everything. There is sanitizer available. The employees are friendly and somewhat professional. The pricing was a little high for lunch really. $11 bucks per person with just water and no fountain drinks. It was a little humid inside the place due to the lack of good ventilation. Also the AC was clearly not on despite it being almost 75 degrees outside. The weather is very crazy for November. lol. The food selection was VERY VERY POOR. Also since there were no labels on over 80% of the food. It was almost like choosing mystery food. Most of the food was nowhere and I mean nowhere near fresh despite the visual look of steam coming off some of the food. The chicken was hard as a rock and nowhere near fresh **SEE PICS**. Same as the nuggets. Most of the other food. Didn't look visually fresh & looked like leftovers with some of the food. The sushi was also not fresh and tasted like it had been sitting for some time. Most of the sushi fell apart upon picking it up. The salmon sushi had a very weird taste to it. Spit it out in a napkin. The hibachi food wasn't bad. But it did have a weird pancake-like taste. Which is unusual for meat really. Started not feeling good after a few bites. The bathroom area was OK. Sitting water in a few places. Also exposed LIVE wiring **SEE PICS** The overall cleanliness of the place was poor. There were food droppings on the floor and different counters even with workers passing by and failing to clean or discard **SEE PICS**, Spider webs hanging in FOOD areas off the fire alarms. **SEE PICS** The general crowd was mainly normal class. There were a few people that kept openly coughing even without a mask and not even covering their mouths which shows a lack of class really. Also no one was smiling nor looked happy really. Overall it became a depressing environment very quickly. Also with the workers walking back and forth in-between the tables and sweeping **SEE PICS** and a few workers with their hands behind their back while walking it almost felt like a military barracks chow hall or something..... ,Truly Sad..... Also despite the employees walking back and forth you still had to ask for drink refills even though they can clearly see the cups were empty on various tables. The water tasted OK. There is no active TV's nor background music here. Came here with some friends and we all said the same thing. NEVER AGAIN. The noise level was normal for a buffet. Almost quiet except for various people and employees talking among themselves. The overall environment leaves something to be desired really. Overall. NEVER AGAIN.....

    I was very excited to arrive at this place! When you walk in, you see an expansive sushi area, many other buffet tables and smiling staff! Also, the place was maybe 1/3 full so there were customers but it wasn't bustling. However, some of the experience was marred by food being cold. A lot of hot dishes like general tsos, sweet and sour chicken, stuffed crab, etc were under heat lamps but for some reason they were cold. This was disappointing. The sushi was ok. Not bad and not great. I liked that it was all kept cold, purposely. The eel was alright but I didn't really care for the salmon roll (flavorless). The star of the meal was the hibachi area. The gentleman making the food was very friendly and he made each meal in under 5 minutes. I chose some noodles, vegetables, shrimp and beef. This, clearly, was piping hot. In a good way! The desserts were plentiful. I tried some sesame balls (yum), chocolate cake (tasty) and cookies (delightful!) Other positives, our drinks were constantly refilled. The cold shrimp was good and fresh. In my opinion, the only reason to run back to this place is the hibachi noodles, cold seafood, and dessert. Is that worth the price tag? Maybe, if you eat your fill of hibachi. So, in terms of buffets, there is a broad and surprising range of food options, which is nice, but food needs to be hot. This is just basic stuff. I would give the overall meal 3 stars. Hibachi alone gets 4, hands down!

    The best Asian buffet I have ever had. The food quality, varieties, and services are excellent. The Habachi and Pho are my favorites. The prices are reasonable. Varieties of desserts for kids.

    Receipt (with redacted info) is my proof of dining.

    Looks like this place fully rebounded after the covid pandemic. All the offered dishes were there from the pre-pandemic. Tasty with great service for the price. Thanks! Receipt (with redacted info) is my proof of dining.

    Rarely does a buffet restaurant wow me but Golden buffet was a little different. We decided on this restaurant for lunch after church service in Alexandria mainly because of the good reviews and it was just around the corner from the church and trust me I didn't expect much. I was able to make a reservation for our large group a few weeks before and they were very nice with all the arrangements and everything went well. We arrived with a charter bus filled with family and friends and they had a room reserved for us. They had made to order hibachi, a sushi station, made to order pho/noodle bowls, seafood including regular crabs and stone crab claws, chicken, shrimp, veggies, rice, more noodles, fruit, desserts, ice cream, etc., just a little bit of everything and most of it was really good so the family overall was happy with this choice.

    This is a quaint little place in Alexandria, conveniently located in Old Town…read more Great service and the staff was very friendly. As for the sushi, it was very reasonably priced. $7 for a California roll. $2 for miso soup. I got the crunch queen and a spicy California roll. Yummy. They also have a large selection selection of premium sakes and Japanese beers.

    Hinata Sushi Bar & Grill is conveniently located in Old Town Alexandria and is a great choice…read morewhether you're in the mood for sushi, hibachi, or a combination of both. From the moment you arrive, you're welcomed with complimentary soup, salad, and water, all of which were fresh and flavorful. I visited around noon for lunch and was seated immediately. The restaurant was fairly quiet, which made for a relaxing dining experience. Service was exceptionally fast, and the staff was attentive throughout my visit. The atmosphere is clean, comfortable, and inviting, making it a great spot for a casual lunch or dinner. I ordered the shrimp teriyaki, which was $23. While it may be slightly higher priced than some alternatives, the quality, convenient location, and free parking make it well worth the cost. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely return in the future. If you're looking for quality Japanese cuisine in Old Town Alexandria, Hinata Sushi Bar & Grill is worth checking out.

    My go-to spot. Love the food. The warmth. The people!…read more It's consistent in every possible way. And my favorite spot to take friends who rave about other pho spots... yeah right.

    We came to Caphe on the recommendation of some friends, but left disappointed…read more Some of the good at Caphe: the crispy roll is indeed excellent and the vermicelli fine. However, the young male staff is rather rude and indifferent. First, off there is a Wi-Fi available "Caphe Guest" (see photo). I asked one staffer what the password was, because Caphe is in one of those sections of Old Town where wireless access, like Verizon, is notoriously poor. The guy gave me some garbled answer and walked away. Alrighty, so I asked another staffer and he said he didn't know what the password was and walked away. That leads up to my order of chicken pho. I asked for no cilantro and that same waiter repeated my request for no cilantro. But when the pho was brought to my table, the green in the pho looked suspiciously like cilantro. I asked the waiter about it. He looked at the pho and said it was not cilantro. I took a sip and quickly determined there was cilantro in the pho. When I tried to get my server's attention, as he was standing in back of the counter, he saw me and haughtily turned away. So, I took the pho up to counter and asked that my order be remade. To Caphe's credit, Caphe did correctly remake my order.. But the pho broth was brown and had an odd canned flavor. It just wasn't very good.
