    Hibachi Grill and Buffet has entered the family group text! We came in today after church and there was no less than 150 people in the building during this soft launch week, and it did not disappoint! We came right up to the counter and there was an escort waiting to take us directly to our table right after we paid the cashier. Note that an 8% gratuity is included, but leaving extra for the bussers who kept our tables cleared between multiple visits to the buffet area is worth doing. The place is spic and span clean and the food is fresh, rotated on a regular bases. Super impressed they had a spicy Cajun seafood boil in the mix, along with many other seafood options - such as crab, a few variations and shrimp, mussels, oysters, clams and more! Overall, it's a solid range of Asian cuisine, including freshly prepared sushi, make your own Vietnamese noodle and stir fry bowls, dim sum, and many American Chinese restaurant standards. I did not try the desserts, but the options were plentiful, including fresh fruits, and couple freezers full of single serve ice cream cups. I also appreciated the signage that prohibits kids under 10 serving themselves without an adult, which I'm sure helps manage food waste, not to mention the cootie risks! I graded this place as a buffet, and it's the best you get can get locally without going all the way to Vegas, so it's a solid 4 stars in my book. Plus, this is the kind of bustling business this sleepy Vallejo mall needed, and I'm cheering them on to keep thriving!

    Soft opening for Vallejo's new hibachi buffet -- same ownership as the Fairfield location. So far, so good. The menu is almost identical to Fairfield's, which is great for those of us living in Vallejo since it's much closer now. Parking is easy, but definitely stay aware of your surroundings and don't leave valuables in your car. Unfortunately, this plaza and surrounding area have had ongoing crime issues, and I personally experienced an armed robbery here two years ago. Just use common sense and be cautious. Once inside, the staff greet you right away and you pay before eating. During the soft opening everyone was getting 10% off, and the restaurant was PACKED. Despite that, the staff worked hard and stayed on top of everything. Popular items like the seafood boil, coconut shrimp, dim sum, and cheese mussels disappeared quickly, but they were also refilled just as fast. Credit to both the staff and management -- they clearly prepared well for the crowds. The restaurant itself is clean overall, although I did notice a couple stained plates and utensils mixed in with the clean dishware area. Sadly, that's something I've come to expect occasionally from chain buffets. The food is decent -- not amazing, but fair for the price. What really won me over was the all-you-can-eat pho. As someone very picky about pho, I'd actually give the broth a solid 7/10, which is impressive for a buffet. The meat tends to overcook and isn't the highest quality, but again, it's AYCE pho so I can't complain too much. The beef tendon balls were good (pretty standard if you shop at Asian markets), and the tripe was surprisingly solid. They also provide basil, cilantro, jalapeños, and the usual pho add-ons, which I appreciated. For the variety and convenience, it's hard to beat. Vallejo has lost a lot of buffet spots over the years like Empire Buffet and Golden City Buffet -- places many locals grew up with. It's nice to finally see a new buffet that's clean, organized, and well maintained so far. Even the bathrooms were clean. I genuinely hope the community helps keep this place nice. Right now there's no graffiti, broken furniture, or grime buildup, but it's also brand new, so time will tell. I'll probably update this review in a year to see how well they maintain everything. Overall: solid 7/10. I'll definitely be back.

    I thought it was a cool and clean place. I came here for the soft opening to celebrate a long week at work. My favorite was the build your own Vietnamese noddles soup. They also had the hibachi option of stirred fried option. The workers are constantly refilling and checking to make sure food was filled. Free drinks, different options of soups. I was pretty impressed. Sushi, fried food, salad bar. For soft opening, they gave a 20% discount!

    I'd say 2.5 will do, very bland and all around dry experience and the sushi bar was bad. The hibachi was good though 4 out of 5 stars there. The banana and pudding was good lol. All in all. It was ok

    This is my second time here! I came for dinner with my family and one time with my sister at lunch! Both times, there were a variety of dishes. For the dinner time , I got the hibachi grill and for lunch I got the pho noodles. Both times were cooked to your custom choices. Both times the place was cleaned, the staff were respectful and helpful. Definitely will come back.

    Located in the same plaza were Seafood City is among other things. Plenty of parking. The inside is super spacious and plenty of sitting. This is probably the best buffet I have gone to in years. They do senior and military discounts as well. Another thing to note is they have these private rooms you can rent out for special events that have tvs that you can do karaoke in! The staff were kind and accommodating.

    Absolutely perfect! The place was open and clean and full of people. We had a party of 7 people and even though the wait time was 15-20 minutes, they called us in about 6 minutes. Tables were close but not crowded. Servers were constantly cleaning, clearing plates and restocking food. There were so many food options in the buffet and the hibachi was fabulous. Food was fresh and delicious. Servers were very helpful and quick. This is a much needed new food option in Vallejo and definitely worth the wait.

    Newer Asian buffet located in the same Plaza near Seafood City and Bank of America in Vallejo. This used to be the old Dollar Store. So the facilities, table, and establishment are new and still in good condition. There was a discount when they first opened up, huge area and a private room area. Perfect for parties and large gatherings, for parties they give you tickets you use for your guests to enter. They save a salad bar, dessert bar, ice cream cups, drinks, some pizza and pasta, and Asian cuisine. I noticed it was more so on the shrimp side of dishes, they have shrimp boil, some dim sim, a Mongolian bbq grill, a pho station, and a sushi station. For the price I think it's decent. My elderly parents enjoy coming here and the variety. But my brother is vegetarian and I didn't see that many vegetarian and vegan friendly items. The staff working the front were very friendly and those bussing the dishes. We went on a weekday early afternoon for dinner for a reception. Since it's located in a plaza there's plenty of parking but it isn't the best or safest area so don't leave anything in your cars and be vigilant of your surroundings, especially the elderly.

    For $26.50 p/p not impressed! Clean place since it is new. The discount you get is basically offset the service fee but then you didn't really get serve either. LOL Food is ok just like all other standard Chinese Buffett I had and how could you not have crab legs for the $$. Pho flavor is very light. I don't have a problem paying such price but quality needs an upgrade. I wanted to do 3.5stars but don't know how. That's why is 4stars FYI-you should change sales tax rate you're collecting before you end up paying the shortage during CDTFA filing. Hahaha

    Large seating areas, decent food and good service. Different varieties of food include,American, Japanese, Vietnamese, crab legs,clams,hibachi,salads,desserts and so much more...$31/person includes taxes and service charge. Only suggestion is to please change the noodles at your Hibachi grill area. Spaghetti noodles don't work!other than that everything was perfect. I would definitely return!

Plenty of parking located at Gateway Plaza. I support local businesses, however, I was disappointed with the recent visit regarding the taste of the food. Presentation is good, customer service is ok. Tip will be asked at the screen upon ordering and payment but optional. The Lion King in my opinion is pricey and the price is not worth it. It's like a California roll with too much stuff on top that is salty i mean too salty. I had this roll long time ago and it does not taste like this. I recommend the bento box. Plenty of items, delicious, cost almost the same as Lion King. The bento box is worth ordering though. No free water, we purchased our drink outside after eating. $35 for the two orders.

Volcano roll is basically a CA roll with chopped scallop on top in a spicy mayo with tobiko and scallion. The fragrance seems like it's then torched for a smoky finish. Not bad at all but today the rice was a little mushy like it hadn't been rinsed enough before cooking or just plain overcooked. Was a little odd texture. The Pink Lady was also really yummy but again rice texture was a bit off. Tempura shrimp with cucumber and avocado inside covered in shredded surimi (imitation crab) and a spicy mayo drizzle. Again not too bad. Gotta say the PORTIONS ARE HUGE imo. YMMV Overall I'd say more than acceptable, rather good apart from the rice today. Could be due to languishing in delivery boxes in transit. So I'm looking forward to returning to dine in and get a look around n see if fresh-from-the-chef rice is better. Joe-Bob says check it out

As a parent, I was shocked and upset. I immediately brought the situation to the owner's attention, expecting him to address the behavior or at least show some concern. Instead, he laughed and sarcastically asked if he should call the police. There was no apology, no attempt to handle the situation professionally, and no concern for the fact that a customer had just verbally attacked a baby. What made the situation even more disturbing was that another couple nearby overheard everything and complained to the server, questioning why that man was still being allowed to remain and receive service after speaking to a child that way. Even other customers recognized how inappropriate the behavior was. I understand that not everyone enjoys being around children, but no parent should be treated this way, and no business owner should laugh off behavior like this. A restaurant's response to unacceptable conduct says a lot about its values, and this experience made it clear that customer respect is not a priority here. Because of how this situation was handled, I will never return and cannot recommend supporting this business

Not a big deal, they're pretty on top of grill changes and may only be for a second The have high ceilings so most of the smoke goes straight up but in our case came over to our table.

This place is located in a small multi tenant shopping center located near the entrance of Hiddenbrooke with ample parking-so that was nice. This restaurant is for sure a local restaurant that serves the Hiddenbrooke community with most of their patrons being locals from the community.That was what we found upon arrival,most of the customers did seem to be locals in for a quick lunch. I would describe this place as an Asian fusion restaurant.-the depth of their menu was surprising-like "Cheesecake Factory-esque" level depth of menu.Their sushi menu was many pages and I hadn't even planned on getting sushi but after looking at this menu,I had to try something-so went with a simple Spicy Tuna Roll ($12.95). Off the Thai menu we decided to go with the Trio Meat Fried Rice ($20.95) Virgin Drunken Noodle ($18.95) Pad See U ($16.95) and Drunken Noodle ($16.95) Well I don't consider myself an expert when it comes to Asian fusion but I've had it more than a handful of times-so I can say with confidence that the food here was pretty good- very tasty-the Virgin Drunken Noodles were Interesting due to their use of glass noodles-the beef in that dish was seasoned well.I ordered my Drunken Noodles spicy and for that they delivered,quite a spicy dish.The Pad See U had really good veggies on it-very tasty and snappy. The Spicy Tuna Roll was pretty standard-the highlight being I somehow got my mother to try sushi for the 1st time by eating a piece of this sushi roll-she didn't hate it which I think is a pretty good review from a 73 year old Native American woman trying sushi for the 1st time. In closing,if u ever find yourself out in the Vallejo or Hiddenbrooke area and you want to give a small local business a try-this place is a pretty good choice-with a menu this big,your bound to find something on there that will make you happy. PS....I forgot to say I really enjoyed the house hot sake-pretty good flavor and perfect item to warm you up in this cold winter times we are in.
