    Sushi choices
    Brian B.

    TL;DR - It's a buffet. Solid food choices at a decent price. Okay service Food - 4/5 Service - 3.5/5 Price - 4/5 We went when it was a typically busy and had a little bit of a wait. When we were seated, we were brought back to a room that was kinda off to the side. That was both a bit nice since it was away from others but also kinda eh since it seemed like we were kinda forgotten. The food choices were pretty solid, and everything seemed to be replaced pretty quickly when it was getting low. The biggest criticism I had was that our waters and plates weren't cleared as fast as we needed. On the other hand, it was nice not to feel rushed to try and finish our food and leave.

    One of the best Buffets in Sacramento, I love the Mongolian station you can create whatever you want I love the thin noodles with jalapeños and the Hawaiian steak is so good. Food so good: Hawaiian steak Honey walnut shrimp Spring rolls Bread Broccoli & beef Food I don't really care for: Steak (don't seem seasoned) Blue crab (hard to get the meat out) Sushi (I just don't like any sushi) Orange chicken This place is a must try, the only thing I will say about this place that you have to watch is the customer service, they gave us the bill and fortune cookies and we only had been there a hour it was like they were rushing us to leave that's what made me not leave a tip

    Hibachi. I was so impressed with how quickly and accurately the cook cracked the egg and tossed the eggshell in the trash with one hand.

    Hibachi Buffet is a good deal for AYCE lunch at $16.99. I enjoyed the Kung Pao Chicken, Stir Fried Shrimp (no shell), Lotus Wrapped Sticky Rice, Fried Fish, Tako octopus sashimi, and Seared Tuna or Sea Steak sashimi. For dessert, I liked the Sesame Ball, Mango Jello, and fruit (canned apricots, fresh pineapple). Several Chinese soup choices, like Hot and Sour, Shrimp Egg Drop, and Wonton. Stir fried noodles station where you can choose your ingredients. Salads and cold dishes. Cakes and desserts. Fried foods. Seafood, like shrimp, mussels, clams, small seafood meatball claws. Birthday person gets a free slice of cake. For groups 5 or less, the birthday person gets a discounted rate ($5 or $10 off?). For groups 6+, the birthday person gets a free meal. Check out Hibachi Buffet's website to see photos and prices, including to Party Tray, prices per lb, and individual servings.

    Being from the Bay Area, $16.99 for AYCE weekday lunch is such a steal! It's even better that they have lots of variety to choose from and are all constantly coming out fresh. You pay at the front before they usher you to your table. Since it was a weekday, it was not too crowded so they didn't seem to be super strict about the 90 min dine-in policy which I appreciate! Staff was consistently coming around to clear the plates and food stations. I enjoyed the create your own Mongolian bbq with topping and add ons of your choice Parking was pretty easy in their big lot. Overall, loved the variety and value!

    Dessert, I'd recommend the strawberries, cream puff, orange sherbet and popcorn!

    All-you-can-eat buffet!! I've heard so many great things about this place! Hubby treated us Thursday evening! Great prices, decent food and staff here! They have a lot of rooms for big groups too! Would return to try more! 4/5 star experience! SYOY! :-)

    Sushi and Mongolian bbq

    Have not been to a Chinese buffet in a while cause I've been trying to diet and be healthier. However the temptation of sushi/sashimi and Mongolian bbq was too much to resist. The quality of the food was good considering how busy it was! I beelined for the Mongolian bbq area and probably had to wait 5-10 minutes for it to cooked. I loved that they had the LA galbi ribs for meat options! It was good! Also had the chicken which was juicy. The sushi rolls were good! I didnt know what kind of roll I was eating but it tasted fresh. Later on I got to try their fresh sashimi slices of tuna and salmon which were very good! I came Sunday afternoon and it was super busy but we got seated right away! I was seated in the room to the right and it was kind of warm in that area. Most likely because of how many people were there!

    Nice decor

    We've been coming here a few times and the food is always good. The noise seems to have gotten louder and more busier than normal. The waiter is fast to picking up plates and refilling drinks. And cooks are quick to refill empty trays of food. No rush there is plenty food for everyone!

    I needed to find a place to take my crew to dinner after a long day of field work. I've found finding a place that will please 5 different people including me, Chinese buffets work out well. Everybody gets to find something that they'll like, from Chinese American food, to sushi and even ribs and French fries and pizza. Yeah, for some reason every Chinese buffet has pizza! This Hibachi Buffet is located on Sunrise about halfway between the 50 and the 80. If you're coming from the north just turn into the parking lot. But if you're coming from the south, there's no easy way to turn into the lot, so you gotta make a U-Turn at Kingswood Drive and go back to the lot. This Hibachi Buffet is huge, there a big lot and a ton of people. The inside seems super busy, but not too dirty or anything. Service is typical Chinese buffet, efficient but not there to make any friends. The food is quite the spread. The sushi section had a ton of stuff, and not just rolls, but different nigiri pieces as well. The Chinese food was typical buffet stuff, chow mien, egg rolls, some veggies and some really good wings. The quality was a little better than a lot of buffets. The food is refreshed fast so there's not empty trays. The price for dinners was around $25, plus some tax and a little tip figure about $30 per person. As long as my crew is happy, I'm happy. I would have given 5 stars if that offered roast duck, but no duck today.

    Sushi spread. The sashimi was continuously empty.

    Let me start by saying the 1 star is not for the food or the staff -- just hygiene. The staff are kind. The food was okay -- 2.5 stars at best. Nothing special but typical for an Asian buffet. They didn't have king crab legs if that's your thing and there are no steamed crabs, only stir fried. My favorite items were the stir fried crab & corn. To get seated you have to pay for your party first and then they'll seat you. Nothing special about the decor. Just a bunch of tables to maximize the space, typical of an Asian buffet. Now why the 1 star? Well when my husband got ice cream from the freezer & opened the lid, there was a bug stuck at the corner of the ice cream. Photo provided for your entertainment. We could've moved on from this as an isolated case but we also witnessed staff cleaning dirty tables with a rag that was already obviously soiled AND THEN after wiping the tables, food scraps, and chairs, wiped the SOY SAUCE BOTTLE & the part where all your soy sauce comes out from. We were floored. Only come if you have a strong stomach. Some people think it builds immunity! Maybe? Me personally? It's a no. Would not recommend.

    Found this gem. One of the best assortments of food from a buffet . $24 a person on weekends . Seated right away . Very busy place which unfortunately with the tile flooring and cement bare walls it gets extremely loud. If you are there to just eat which makes sense since it's a buffet then mission accomplished but you can't have a conversion . Great assortment of food but not all the food was great. Fries were soggy, fried rice was dry and fried chicken had no taste examples of this . Overall worth the price for the many other dishes that were good.

    A diverse selection of well prepared dishes, offering a variety of flavors to stimulate the palate. Offering a broad selection of chicken, fish and vegetable options, Hibachi Buffet is the go-to choice for our family. In particular, I personally enjoy the broad selection of Sushi and shockingly Sashimi offerings. The food is always fresh and beautifully presented. The staff are like quiet ninja's quietly clearing plates and ensuring that our water glasses are always full. Like most buffets the restaurant is quite large, with a lot of seating. We tend to go at opening, before the restaurant is completely full. I touch of tranquility before the storm. Conveniently located, the Hibachi Buffet is a quality option for buffet connoisseurs

    Is it only seafood?

    No, not just seafoods. Lots of other choices, such as stir fries, sushi, American (pizza, fries, ribs), soups, pot stickers, salad, etc. Also Habachi in which you choose what you want to be cooked in front of you (i.e. meats and vegetables).

    Is everything fried in the same oil? One of our party has a strong allergy to shrimp and he'd have a reaction if he ate fries cooked in the oil they use to cook shrimp.

    I wouldn't trust it...lots of fried food. Many of it soggy.

    Do they serve raw oysters nightly?

    No they do not. Perhaps during a special holiday. I'd call and find out when if they do.

    Do they serve alcoholic beverages?

    They do sell alcohol. When you enter they have a fridge on the side for purchase, for each additional alcohol beverage you have to purchase at the front desk

    Is sushi served for lunch?

    Yes it is.

    What are the lunch prices? They seemed to have changed the price?

    How much is dinner buffet?

    $21.99 for dinner

    We're planning to come on a weekday for lunch. What are some items we don't get for lunch compared to dinner? For example, is there sashimi during lunch? Thanks!

    I haven't found any huge difference so far. I have been four times Friday lunch, Sat Dinner, Monday dinner, and a Wednesday lunch.… 

    I have seen some people do takeout, anyone know how much takeout costs? Thanks

    It depends on what you are getting. They weigh the take-out by pound. It ranges from $7.99 - $9.99 per pound.

    Does buffet have& wine, or sake?

    Yes, but not included in buffet price.

    How much for lunch vs dinner? Last person posted like 5 months ago

    Lunch M-F $14.99 Dinner 20.99 All day dinner Sat-Sun $21.99

    How many people does the private room seat?

    I am not sure, but I think around 100 or so, because they have 2 party rooms actually.

    Do they take reservations for a large group?

    Yes, they also have a room for private groups

    Do they have non seafood options? My BF doesn't eat seafood

    Yess they do have other kinds of meat like pork chicken beef and some meat-free options too

They don't have a lot coming out all at once so you may have to wait or come back to see if it's been replenished. They do have sushi here, but I'll be quite honest, not the greatest quality . Plenty of Chinese food options from calms , oysters, fried fish , beef broccoli, honey walnut shrimp, basically if panda express has it you can get it here. Most of the Asian food is mediocre as I would still choose panda express if I had the option. Service is friendly, definitely a more upscale looking Asian buffet than most I have been to.

It also wasn't very busy, so we wanted to give it a fair shot. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill fast once we sat down to eat.

When we brought it up, the server explained they were transitioning between lunch and dinner and offered for us to wait while they replaced the food. I appreciate the offer, but that doesn't excuse having a buffet--especially with seafood, poultry, and meat--sitting out cold. That's not just unappetizing, it raises serious health concerns. We chose not to stay and eat. Again, the staff was polite, but food safety and quality just weren't there.

I used it and the salsa to flavor the black beans. However, I really just wanted grilled steak. I should have ordered steak fajitas, a grilled steak burrito or quesadilla, or a carne asada plate. The Steak a la Chicana was a generous portion, which is definitely 2 meals for me. Cilantro rice wasn't anything special. The SWEET CORN TAMALITO is yummy comfort.

I would describe this as a place for introverts who love sushi. If you don't want to interact with a single human during your whole visit, Bento Revolving Sushi is for you! But I actually like having someone warmly greet us, welcome us in, seat us, and walk us through how things work at the shop. ESPECIALLY when I shared that it was our first time to the restaurant. Especially when the restaurant has a nontraditional method for ordering. We ordered a beer from the ~one~ human trying to fill roles of host, server, busser and cashier (which in and of itself is ridiculous and too much to ask of a single employee). Ten minutes later, I was able to catch the attention of that one staffer. They came over and it was at that point they explained that we needed to order everything using the computer pad at our table. (Cool! Would have been excellent to know that when we first arrived or even when we ordered our beer.) To be fair, the beer arrived along with apologies about the wait. Thanks. Then we got excited for all of the many offerings in their extensive menu. We start ordering via the pad and had to show some restraint to not get too much directly from the kitchen, which is in addition to whatever is moving around the revolving "belt" that snakes its way by the ~13 tables available for customer use in the restaurant (several other tables were stacked with supplies and seemed to just be used for storage). And then we waited. We watched roll after roll sent out of the kitchen to one table in particular on their fairly cool automated conveyor system. Unique. Fun even! But man, that table was getting all the love. I guess they finish their tickets one table at a time rather than sending out a few items to each table to get people enjoying food throughout their visits. OK. After another 20 minutes of waiting, we inquired about our order. At that point (seriously, nearly 40 minutes after walking in the front door), the single staff told us that we had to hit the "send order" button on the pad. (I know. Obvious enough but I missed it and no one took time to spend 30 seconds telling us how to use their system.) None of our order had even been received by the kitchen let alone started. At this point, I was ready to pay for our beer and leave, but the husband talked me down. So we waited even longer, and eventually our meal started arriving, plate by plate. The food was really quite tasty. The shrimp tempura was yummy, served piping hot and we liked the addition of the crunchy noodles underneath. The rolls were good, although one was torched but wasn't under the torched menu, which was less than ideal since we'd already ordered one torched roll. The hamachi nigiri was fresh. The offerings on the belt were not very appetizing, made worse by someone having put back on the belt an empty, dirty plate of one of the desserts, which circulated during most of our visit. Gross. Lastly, nearly every surface was sticky and/or dirty. The screen of the ordering pad was gross. Under our table was so sticky the soles of my shoes were sticking to the floor. Just ick. If all of the other issues were set aside, I would likely consider returning. But honestly, there are plenty of great sushi places that have great customer service and would never leave a table unchecked for 10-20 minutes at a time. While I feel for the single staffer who said, "I'm really busy" (trying to do all the things that more than one person should be doing), I'm just not into excuses. This place clearly does not prioritize customer service. I won't be back.

    This was my first time here, I think. The large, comfortable venue was clean and the staff was…read morewelcoming. They also offer a Senior Discount. The place is busy but the steam tables are always full. So many choices! Lots of appetizers. A Mongolian-style food station. Sushi offerings. Seafood, chicken, fish. Veggies, salads, noodles, rice, potatoes. Desserts - from fresh fruits to many baked goods and ice cream. A variety of cooking styles! There is something for most everyone. The table attendants were very efficient. The moment I left my table to get more food, my dirty plates were removed and the table wiped. My ONLY complaint is that the food, once it reached my plate, was not as hot as it appeared to be on the steam tables. This distracted from the food quality. However, the seasoning was really good on most everything. If you're hungry and like seafood and a variety of other foods and don't want to spend a lot of money, Sakura should hit the spot.

    This buffet opened at 11:00am, and me and my friend arrived at 11:03am. The first thing I noticed…read morewas how spacious this place is: there is definitely enough room to accommodate large groups of people. The cost for one adult (as of July 2026) during Monday to Friday lunchtime, comes to $18.31 after tax, if only drinking water. $21.53 after tax if you order a drink/soda. I noticed a HUGE amount of cherries in the fruit section, so I went for those. The fifth or sixth cherry had white mold. I said "uh oh" and a nearby male presenting worker said "why, what's wrong?" so I showed them. They said "oh it's probably the cream". I put that cherry back, plus the ones I got initially. My plate was clean, so there is no mixed food contamination. Two workers went to the cherries and started going through it. What I'm wondering is how did "cream" get in the cherries and they haven't been opened for 10 minutes yet? And how did cream get on a cherry under a pile of cherries? The only other gross thing was the water. It was from the sink. Not filtered. If you've ever had Sacramento public water, you understand how atrocious it tastes. The rest of the food, was actually pretty good! Granted we arrived when they opened, but all the food was laid out/presented well. There are lots of chicken related dishes. I recommend the black pepper chicken. It's got a crunchy, almost candied exterior like Korean fried chicken.
