I asked about kids pricing for 3 year old and the owner/manager said $8.99 but when I reviewed the receipt at the end, he charged for something different (open item w/box) and was around $10 something. He never provided the itemized receipt so I had to request for it. They do shady business and when I confronted him he said the system is updating and that is the input for kids. Total liar, and he argued back to go to another buffet then which I said I would never return, I'm just giving you a courtesy notification that I will be reviewing on this matter. He was careless. Food was total crap too. So not worth it. Go elsewhere! read more

Hibachi Grill & Buffet - Raw chicken - American Near Me - Aurora, Illinois

I like the food here and recommend this establishment, but overall the experience is average. Overall the restaurant is clean and proper sanitary procedures seem to be in place. However, it is dark, dingy, and dated. I don't care for the egg rolls, but plenty of other options are good. I like the green beans, beef with onion, teriyaki chicken/broccoli, spicy chicken, egg drop soup, and the won ton soup. The value for the money is average. Currently lunch is $14 and dinner is around $20 including drink. I don't think the dinner is worth it. A few more items and seafood are available for dinner; however, plenty of options are available for lunch and I prefer paying less. read more

They have no food, just a bunch of empty trays. Food is also not fresh. Drive away and find another place to eat at.

this was a really good buffet and I would recommend and it's so quiet and calming and the employees are really helpful,I hope this place gets notice more. read more

Was disappointed to show up during the supposed business hours only to realize they had close over an hr early. Tried to call to see if they were really closed; the first time they let it ring, the second time the just hang up immediately. Don't really feel like coming back even though I used to go here often read more

Extra star for service. Food is hit or miss. The hits: sesame balls! Spring rolls! Give me more! Exotic jello cubes! Damn! Good! Jalapeño chicken. Yes!!! Misses: rice noodles and fried rice, only if you enjoy moth balls. Black tea?! Not sure. Some of the items had a strange old smell about them. You know what I'm talking about. 99% sure I won't be craving Chinese again for a while. read more

This place is honestly terrible. Bad selection of food, and it's all either cold or old. The garlic bread isn't even cooked, they just take some bread and put a little bit of garlic butter on one side. I will never go here again, save yourself. read more

I am wringing this about a Friday lunch visit at 11:30am on February 25th, 2022. This was my first time here. It is an average Chinese buffet. I went in really wanting to like the place- but it is simply very average at best. Nothing really stood out as great. I truly wish there was some quality buffet restaurant in the Aurora area (but I have yet to find it). Only two of the buffet space for hot food were filled. The third was empty. Is that space for dinner? There are not a lot of options. About 36 warm items, 18 cold items, and 4 or 5 varieties of sushi. I did not see anything setup for the hibachi. The sushi was maybe a step above typical buffet quality sushi - not great. It was edible. Odd that you pay first. Drink is included. $11.99 total for lunch for one adult. The server was very attentive. My drink was refilled 3 times in 45 minutes and my plates were cleared from the table whenever I went up to the buffet. There were maybe about 25 customers in the restaurant at the time I was there. read more

When I tried the food it was ok not the best but also not the worst and the service they had was really good. The price for two people was pretty good too. The place looked all clean especially the bathrooms. I would recommend going to this place if your not a picky eater. read more

We saw mixed reviews on this place. Either people absolutely loved it or they absolutely hated it. We figured we would give it a fair chance. The reviews are right the decor and seating is very old. The woman's bathroom was filthy. Definitely needed to be deep cleaned. Some of the food was really good and some of it was really bad. The orange chicken was delicious. Crab rangoons were good. The red pork on the skewers was good. The sushi you have to get when they first put it out otherwise it dries out. It was Sabi was very mild. Ginger tasted like vinegar. The mushrooms in the gravy were fabulous. The service was a bit slow. Even though no one was in the place our dishes piled up at the end of the table. I did not like the fact that you were supposed to put your ice cream Scoops in a water pitcher filled with water so where you were holding it in your hand actually goes underwater. That can't be sanitary at all. Next to this was a tray where they had serving utensils so I took out one of the serving utensils to go into the ice cream containers with and the man yelled at me told me that I was supposed to use the ice cream Scoops that were sitting in the container of water. Not going to happen. Before we paid upfront we asked to go see the food because a lot of people said the food was cold so we made sure all of the tables were steaming. Their website is wrong. It says their Buffet is $10 and it's actually 15. The man said that they're having a hard time trying to get somebody to change the price on their website. Drinks come with the mail as well but we just had water and tea. It's probably still worth $15 with the amount of good items available. A lot on our plates we didn't touch and some we even spit out. So we're giving a three-star because two and a half is not available. read more

See all

Love love love this place. They are super consistent with the quality of their food and service. Sushi rice sometimes doesn't taste great to me but everything else is so good from the fish bake, crawdaddies, octopus salad, to ribs and mushrooms. I eat here on average twice a month. read more

Food was old not sure how long it was out for. The ice cream was rock solid couldn't get one scoop at all. They over charge. The ceiling of the ladies bathroom is missing fiber tiles, bathroom was dirty to say the least. Owner keeps the tips of the servers. read more

By far thee WORST Chinese restaurant I have ever been to. The food has no taste, it's cold even over heat. What little that has taste is Just Bland. On top of that you pay $12.50 per person, you must pay @ table where the waitress points out where the expected tip goes. Save your money and go anywhere else, (there's a McDonald's across the street if your hungry.) read more

my family and I were on vacation and wanted hibachi. this place food was old we were over charged and they didn't have a Big selection of food to choose from. I have a sea food allergy the rice on the bar had shrimp in it. we requested our money back before sitting down so they offered to cooked some rice for me. after getting back to our hotel ( nine minutes from the restaurant) everyone was SICK!!! we will NEVER EAT HERE AGAIN read more

Being a 72-year-old man, I have eaten in many Asian restaurants.. I have had many experience's good to average. My experience in this restaurant did not compare to anything I've ever experienced. They added shrimp to their hibachi choices, I guess because it was Sunday. They also provide beef which is so tough that you really can't even chew it enough in order to swallow and digest it. The hot tea seemed to be just plain tea.. not good, not bad. Every other dish that I tasted made me want to vomit! On my table will probably about 8:00 or 9 napkins that I had to spit the food into in order to not get sick. Here's the funniest part of the story. My wife and I both got terribly sick. I personally spent my entire night and morning having a negotiate with the porcelain God. My recommendation for the owners and management of this restaurant is to close it immediately so they don't get sued! My other problem was this one waiter that kept hitting on my wife. Asking all sorts of questions they were really none of his business. This place is so bad, I wouldn't even drive by it again. My recommendation, don't punish yourself by eating there! Oh yes and Mr waiter, You Know who You Are. Learn some class! I only gave it one star because I had to give a star in order to post this. read more

We have been going to this Chinese buffet for many years. And it has always been good. But ever since it reopened after the pandemic, the price has increased and the food and food choices has not been as good. The shrimp and other foods run out often and doesn't get replaced. They used to have ribs at the more expensive dinner time, but not no more. Some of the food items even seem to be old. I was very disappointed yesterday (10/31/2021). read more

We recently received a advertisement in the mail for "Hibachi Grill & Buffet". I recognized the address as the former "Jumbo Buffet". Now, since there was a new Chinese buffet replacing an old Chinese buffet, I really did not expect too much of a change !! And I was correct. This is the normal/average American style Chinese buffet. The food while not disappointing, is almost the same as the former "Jumbo Buffet" that it replaced (I can say at the time we ate, it was all very fresh ). At $ 9.25 per adult at dinner time, it is a bit on the pricey side for this type of restaurant. I will try Hibachi again, but for lunch. As I am writing this, I notice that the phone number is the same as the former restaurant !! read more

So we received an ad about the grand opening of this place... We decided to try it out. Don't waste your time! The service is worst than below par. When attempting to ask the staff any questions they would ignore us and walk away. Our server at least came back to our table a few times to clear our plates and refill our drinks at least. The food was even more disappointing... It looked as though it had been sitting on the tables for hours but it had just been put out fresh. The quality of the ingredients was so low that I really don't think we should have eaten it. There was imitation crab and egg in all the "sushi" they were serving. read more

Very friendly customer service. Satisified deaf customer Korea Chicken is very good. Sweet buns are excellent. Great selections of chickens Will come again :) read more

Much like the only other person to review this restaurant, I had low expectations when I first walked through the doors. It's cheap chinese buffet, no frills just the same slop I grew up eating at all the chinese buffet's over the past 15 plus years. The only reason I am giving this place 4 stars is because they have pretty good hibachi, and they do not charge extra for it. So for $6.99 lunch price hibachi, chinese, and a few rolls of sushi count me in! Just remember to lower your expectations, this ain't PF Changs. read more

We went here awhile back for lunch. It was just ok. We started referring to it as the mediocre Chinese buffet, but it was the best in the west aurora area. We went back tonight for dinner and the three of us decided they had really improved. The food was fresh and tasty. A very nice variety of seafood including mussels, salmon, shrimp, squid, and crawfish. There were a number of chicken and American dishes. There was a large dessert table with fresh fruit. And some very good buffet level sushi. Two adults and a child was $30. It felt like a fair price. Glad to see the improvement. I did choose to drop them a star. We went back yet again and the quality seemed to have dropped a bit. I could call it the cheap Chinese chicken buffet. Seems like most of the dishes are chicken based. Little to no pork or beef. read more

So I decided to give this place another shot after not coming here for years. Wow was that a bad mistake. I will begin by stating that this buffet used to be a decent place to stop at and in the evenings they had snow crab legs. The last time I stopped in here I was disappointed but still decided to give this another chance. The food tastes like it has been sitting under the hot lamps for days. Items like the egg rolls can chip your tooth when you try to bite down. Other items like the mongolian beef is salty and mushy. Beef is not supposed to have the consistency of toothpaste. It was awful. They also have sushi which along with everything else is horrifyingly awful. Nothing tasted fresh... and I mean NOTHING. The establishment itself has a dark and dingy feel. It's big and empty. When you enter you will be seated and asked if you would like a drink. The staff (of about two people which I assume are family) will come by and ask if you would like a refill on your drink which I guess they do in order to get a tip. I'm sorry I did not tip. This is a buffet, if I can get my own food then I grab a drink. Finally, you get this fine dining experience at about $10 a person. I advise people, please do not make the same mistake as I did and save your money and go to another place. read more

Spectacularly horrible. Words are inadequate to describe the overwhelming filth and underwhelming food. I have not dined here in about a year, but the last time was enough to convince me never to return. The more recent Yelp reviews show that nothing has changed in the past year, so I suspect my review of a while back will accurately reflect a current visit. Where to start? The tables were sticky. That's a good place to start, I guess. So were the floors. The bathroom was so disgusting that I couldn't use it and covered with graffiti. Revolting. The food? The descriptions in other reviews reflect my experience: tasteless or old-tasting or foul-smelling. I ate very little out of concern I would get food poisoning. Food spilled all over the place. Looks like it hasn't been cleaned in ages. How the Heath Department doesn't shut this place down is a mystery to me. read more

Worst Chinese buffet I've ever been to. There was nobody in there, and the food was not fresh. My wife and I had about half a plate each, paid for the overpriced food and went to Baba's next door. Won't be back. read more

Yuck. Just... yuck. Food was dry and tough regardless of the fact they kept refilling. Guess it was all just sitting in the back under heat lamps. BATHROOMS?? GA-ROSS. Hold it. I promise it's better than going in those nasty things (my husband said his was gross too.) Server was good but OMG the food was awful. Wish we'd read the reviews first. read more

Sometimes you're just in the mood for some cheap food and a lot of it. Hibachi Grill and Buffet offers just that. It's in some run-down strip mall in the middle of Aurorexico. I never have high expectations for Chinese buffets, so I wasn't let down. The food was decent. They even serve those Chinese buffet staples like mayonnaise-slathered mussels and warm mayonnaise-slathered imitation crab meat. The only things missing were the cheesy spinach casserole thingy and leathery overcooked prime rib. At $6.99 for lunch, the price was just right. I think I got my money's worth from the 3 plates of clams and crawfish I shoveled into my fat face alone. Next time I'm in town visiting my meth dealer or my Craigslist mistress, I'll probably stop by for more authentic Chinese buffet food like canned chocolate pudding and heat lamp pizza. read more

Im a huge fan of this place I love the food and I love going here a solid 4 stars.

Let's see how should I describe it in one word . . . DISGUSTING. You want the best and cheap chinese buffet. Head over to Fox Valley Buffet in the mall. The freshest sushi you will ever have, the best egg drop and hot and sour soup. They have a wide variety of American, Chinese and Japenese items. Lunch is $7.00 and dinner is $12.00. On the weekends it's all seafood with crab legs. The staff is AWESOME. read more

I was in the area looking for something to eat so I decide to stop here at the buffet. That was not real food the only good thing was the water that they had. Never eat here. read more

As the previous reviewer noted, this is the former "Jumbo Buffet". I was a patron of Jumbo Buffet for many years until I had consistently poor dining experiences: bad service and poor food quality to be specific. The place was basically empty at 7:00 PM, yet my server disappeared shortly after seating me. The restaurant has an "Hibachi" area, as the other did. The former restaurant had the Hibachi items out to assemble. This restaurant did not; still not sure where they were hiding the items. I did not ask anyone, as they seemed too busy chatting in a nearby booth to be bothered. The buffet items were essentially the same. I think they simply changed the name and redectorated a bit. One thing they changed were an addition of more sushi items. The troubling part, though, was that none of the sushi was labeled. I agree that $9.25 for dinner was a bit pricey, considering what you get. Sorry, Hibachi Grill & Buffet (Jumbo Buffet), I will not be returning. read more

Food was not to it's greatest, I got sushi, clams, shrimp with crab - seems old and reheated. The place is dark with no aura. Not really a dine out place to enjoy. read more

Food was sub-par and the waitress was not friendly at all. Stood there and watched me give her a tip and it was very rude. Not recommended.

I at first had mixed feelings coming here as the facility used to be the Jumbo Buffet that I visited only once in 2008 with a friend and it was horrible. However, I took a chance to start coming here when it first opened. I was impressed by the variety (compared to Jumbo) of items to choose from though mainly chicken. I loved the egg drop soup and some of the other selections of chicken with rice. What sold me or got me to like the place was the chicken pieces I believe breast and/or leg portions that was seasoned so well. I have become a regular customer and for me it is a fine place to dine for the buffet at least. They truly want to serve me well and have read and listened to my comments at times and have made improvements where needed (at least for me) :). I cannot find too many decent Buffets of this kind in the area or anywhere and so I keep coming back . I rate it the highest I can, because it is clean and they listen to the customer and please the customer and the food is fresh for the selections I choose. Thank you. read more

Food was two thumbs down. The food wasn't fresh, not worth a picture. I'm not much of a picky eater but I won't be going back here, ever! Staff was pretty nice read more

Everything was fresh and the server was great! I absolutely love the crab Rangoon and the vegetables were so fresh. The pizza was not good-but I wouldn't count that against them. I also loved the sushi. Overall great experience read more

A great place. Staff are always quick and helpful. It's so cheap and the hibachi makes it well worth the price with shrimp in the mix. Wish they had more sauces but I deal There is sushi too! Otherwise standard fare but again for around $8 for lunch and $10 for dinner approx I appreciate this place read more

Worst customer service ever! The asian guy there was very rude to me and everyone else i guess . I had a "Take Out" plate and when i put my food in the scale he asked me if i ha put shrimp i said 'no' but he had the nerve to open my food to check if it had shrimp. That pissed me off, and it was very expensive. Never going back there again. read more

Absolutely atrocious. Hope my fiance and I do not have food poisoning. The selection was horrible. They had more American food than actual Chinese. The teriyaki chicken was non edible. The pot stickers were soggy. The spring rolls were under cooked. The stuffed mushrooms were just cream cheese in them. Over all do not go. Save your money there are plenty of better buffets out there. read more

As soon as I walked up to grab a plate I noticed all the food looked old. Buffets are expected to change out the old food WITH THE CONTAINER with a FRESH TRAY AND FOOD, not just leave old food and continue to add fresh on top. You could just tell the food had to be sitting there for hours. They had cans of ketchup opened for self serve wich is definently a health violation. This place is just awful and needs to be shut down. Disgusting. read more
