    $20/adult and only 10/ seniors 60+. Crazy good value Food: [what they have, my thoughts, my favorites at the end] Fried food - french fries, popcorn shrimp, crab rangoons, chicken wing, fried doughnut, etc. [I liked their crab rangoon and popcorn shrimp! didnt try the rest] Soup - egg drop, hot and sour, porridge, and miso soup [all were good! i especially enjoyed the porridge, it had accents of ginger. very warming and soothing] Sushi - sashimi, tuna/spicy tuna roll, chef cooked rolls, salmon roll, eel avocado roll, etc. [decent sushi surprisingly] For dinner they even have crawfish that people empty in a few minutes. They even wait by the station till the staff bring out a new batch. The crab is good, seasoned, piping hot, and yummy. My favorites: Crab bake, general tso chicken, banana pudding, pork bun, hibachi, tom yum soup, cheese mussels! Service: It's a buffet so very fast of course. they clean your table and plates up fast very attentive staff. Ambiance: Very very busy, bustling? lively with large families! It's a buffet.

    Although I do think Hibachi has one of the better chinese buffets, the margin isn't by a lot. My favorite is the Hibachi station where you're able to choose from the assortment of items for them to cook for you! The servers are amazing and sweet and everything is usually clean. However, the quality got worse over the years and the sushi has a weird and fishy aroma to it. Most of the options are replaced with fried food. It's better than others though. Overall, 6/10.

    Updated prices as of 6/2/25.

    Typical Chinese buffet food, but they also have some dim sum dishes, sushi/ sashimi, and of course a hibachi grill. The food is pretty consistently good and flavorful. Some of the better crawfish compared to other buffets. They are constantly bringing out fresh food and keeping the trays filled, even towards the end of the night vs other buffets that completely shut down and leave your options limited if you come in late. They do free birthdays (must be on the actual day and show id). Also note that they don't let you pay with a gift card if you are claiming a free birthday meal.

    The amount of money we payed was not worth the quality of the food.

    We arrived at 9:06PM close time is 10 however the food was cold they had turned everything off already and they only had a very small amount of food available very disappointed

    I was in this side of town today, so i stopped by this place again for lunch. Same as last time i visited this place, good food, nice service. I am glad all the construction that was going on around this location, has been completed and there isn't any more going on for now, making access and egress a lot easier. Still haven't gotten around to trying the hibachi or pho that they serve, however I did find the hidden corner, where they keep and serve the ice cream cups, I didn't know about them last time. Keep up the good food, and good service. See you next time.

    This is one of the better Chinese Buffets in Houston. We were quite pleased with the variety. There's the usual Chinese food, but there's also a Hibachi grill and sushi/sashimi. There's even Dim Sum. Here's your chance to try Chicken Feet! Prices are very reasonable at $13.49, especially for weekday lunches. There were a lot of people around Friday lunchtime. Service and ambiance is quite typical for this type of place. The staff was quite prompt in removing the empty plates once we're done. It's even open for Christmas if you're looking for a feast on a day where most restaurants are closed.

    2024October. Price is $21 per adult for dinner and on weekends. There's some dim sum items like chicken feet and steamed buns. Sushi and sashimi items are available- quality is average. Hibachi grill is nice option for some fresh stir fry but would stay away from beef/steaks as the cuts are tough. Rest of the items are typical Chinese buffet options, along with Cajun seasoned crawfish. For birthday celebrations, they bring a lotus flower cute candle that opens.

    As a fan of buffets in my prime eating/fattening days, I frequented many across the Houston area and judged it based on its selections, quality, and value. This was a very popular spot and remains one of the better selections in the area. Variety is the spice of life, as they say, and Hibachi not only offers the standard Mongolian grill option but a full sushi bar with Sashimi (can be hit or miss and definitely consume at your peril), a dim sum area with chicken feet/ribs/dumplings (not bad actually), and full self-served ice cream bar (this was better pre-pandemic as the quality of the ice-cream has dropped as they switch to individual cups). There are also some expensive options like crab legs, steak, fish, and the underrated crawfish in my opinion. Overall I would rate it fairly well based on the selections and value. (even better if you're looking to bulk up and prefers Quantity over quality) There have been several price increases due to inflation over the years but for $17.99 (weeknights) and $18.99 (weekends) at the time of this review, it's still not a bad price for a buffet of this caliber.

    An average Asian buffet. There is a jalapeño favor throughout some of the Chinese dishes that shouldn't be there. The made-to-order grill is a good stir-fry. The sashimi is fresh. The ice cream is nice as its individual containers of chocolate, strawberry and vanilla. The bathrooms were clean too. The char su baos were dry. Some flavors in the dishes aren't fully developed. The parking lot is large so it should be easy to find parking. The servers were quick at clearing the table. The hibachi chefs were good.

    Full 4 score. was yummy grilled noodles with shrimp and other fixings at live Grill. There was unlimited crawfish and clams and we enjoyed the flavored crap as well. My parents are regulars to this place for years and come w their friends

    I have a weakness for cheap buffets... Honestly it's a issue. But I had saw this place and had to try it! Overall it's not bad. For the price the food is okay and I didn't get sick. Service was okay, but what do you expect it's a buffet. Will I be back? No. It wasn't note worthy. But it was worth coming once!

    Do they offer free meal for the person on his/her birthday?

    Yes. Must show ID. Only valid on actual birthday and can't pay with gift card for the rest of the party.

    Hi, does anyone know if this place is open for dine in? I tried calling but I keep getting sent to voicemail.

    They are open for dine-in. The buffet is still a bit normal but w/ optional gloves and sanitizer provided, masks are required when getting food, and social distancing is enforced by reducing the number of tables, especially in the hibachi line.

    What's day you open again?

    Everyday

Upon arrival, I was told that I could not sit at the sushi bar and eat. If I wanted to order I had to go sit in the common area of this dining hall. After this discussion, I said fine and asked for a menu. They then told me I had to get up and order at the register and view the menu glued to the counter. They took the order of a couple who sat down maybe 2 minutes before me in front of me. I will never come back to this place. They seem to be the last man standing in this dining hall, and with this kind of customer service, they won't last much longer. It's a shame because I love the food and I am a regular at handies and aiko as well. Won't be back to any of them.

The vibe was moody and lightly lit, and the restaurant was busy with people celebrating. I ordered the sunomono, maguro crudo, salmon and king crab hand roll, and signature nigiri. The hand rolls were probably the best thing I've ever had, I even ordered an additional spicy tuna hand roll because I wasn't ready for them to be over. My sister even ordered another flight of nigiri because it was so phenomenal. To finish, I ordered the ube sponge cake, which was the perfect little treat to end the night. Seriously, I'll be dreaming about this meal. If I'm back in Houston, I'll definitely be coming back!

Not a fan of that drink (2.5 stars or less).

The walkway was a pretty bamboo forest haha. Aside from the ube espresso martini, everything else was delicious and good! I recommend Aiko and would dine here again.

    GENERALIZED REVIEW:…read more Came here with a friend from theatre after a full run--he had this place recommended to him by another theatre friend, so we're just passing on the word. The plaza was a bit confusing to navigate, and I'm pretty sure if the place weren't full of Asian parents and their kids, it would've felt like the shadiest place ever because you have to enter from the back. Otherwise, the plaza had a lot of great-looking stores overall. My first go-to: I've loved drinking Kirin Light ever since I discovered it in Chicago. The flavor is literally so light, with a slight acidity that brightens up my meal. The sake here was frankly also delicious. I didn't order it, but my friend did, and they had it warmed. The flavor was soothing and subtle, almost like tea. It was exceptionally easy to drink, and the ocean-themed ceramicware was a beautiful touch. We ordered two rolls: the Shaggy Dog and the Truffalufagus (a fun tongue-twister). I personally chose the Truffalufagus (which is not fun to spell) because it seemed like the most unique dish on the menu, and I enjoyed it very much. What I liked most about it was that it was subtle yet impactful. I also loved the textures--from the internal crunch paired with the fresh jalapeño to the softness of the fish. I'm glad I gave this roll a shot, and I would be excited to try it again anytime. The Shaggy Dog was great, but it appealed less to my flavor profile. It was a little too rich and creamy for me. I recommended this place to my BF as a potential future date spot--I personally think he would like it... if he weren't the type to enjoy AYCE sushi so much. If they had more unique rolls, I would definitely come back just for those. I was tempted to order the Surf and Turf for this round, but I didn't want to seem like a glutton, hahaha.

Also had to highlight their house made soy sauce which was extremely umami, very unique and sets this place slightly apart from the many other sushi joints in its range Truffle crab chawanmushi was certainly a top highlight for me as well - rich truffle oil with the perfectly light steamed egg and sweet crab chunks, just an incredible dish and I could have easily eaten several of these The uni was also extremely fresh and buttery and was nice even for someone who doesn't usually like uni In the same class and range as places like Kata Robata and I would say it's a strong rival!

The Chawanmushi was decent but it was a little different than I expected. It had a little bit more liquid at the top of the egg custard. The flavor was fine nothing overpowered and it was soft and had that gelatin mush to it. The carbonara udon pasta was creamy and tasted exactly how I imagined it would which was smooth and creamy with a little crispiness from the pieces of bacon. Just make sure you mix the egg into the pasta to give it that rich creaminess. The only dish I would say that was underwhelming was the crispy rice. I guess my expectation would be a little less rice and a balance of the crispy rice around it. It reminded me more so of a thick fried outer crust. However, I did like the fish and meat they used on top of the crispy rice. They all had their own flavors. The Handroll tasting is probably the most interesting dish I ordered. It seemed to have a good portion of fish and they try to keep the seaweed nice and crispy by leaving the plastic film over the seaweed. The flavors of the Handrolls were subtle. They did make a nice presentation. The salmon flight was pretty good you definitely could tell from the different cuts and fattiness of the salmon. My favorite was the aburi cheese the scorched cream cheese gave the salmon a melted coating of cheese and made it silky and smooth. The nigiri platter was almost like a flight of nigiri. In the order I ate them they got progressively better. My favorite was the scallop and tuna. The only roll I tried was the royal chutoro. The portion was a good ratio of rice to fish and the tobiko gave it a slight crunch. as service and parking. The parking costs $10 and it's only Valet. If you decide to park on the curb somewhere you will get a parking ticket (I saw a guy placing tickets on cars). The atmosphere was upscale and you can tell they try to emulate Japan with the decor(zen inspired). Overall, the fish was tasted fresh and the vibes were there. However, I do think everything was a bit overpriced compared to competitors.
