There are Several All-You-Can-Eat Buffets in our area, and we Stopped going to This One after they placed us at a table almost IN the Waiting area, so we felt like at a Kiddie Table while being Stared at by the Waiting Line, and the Staff, who couldn't say "Is Everything OK, Enjoying your Meal?" more of the "Are you Done? Leaving Yet?" The food was Decent Quality, but Hardly worth the Embarrassment! read more

When we came inside nobody said welcome or nothing just kept talking on the phone. When We sat down the seats was dirty. Took long to get our drinks.The macaroni tasted like a kid made it mushy and disgusting. The steak was nasty and dry. The ice cream machine was a mess it was ice cream everywhere on the table and floor. The spoons was dirty. And the thing i hated most when we was leaving the waitress was standing like a idiot next to our table waiting for a tip so we just kept going because she didn't deserve shit because her service sucked. read more

The food was very good. One of the better buffets. Especially loved scallops. We will be back.

I've been to my fair share of buffets. Good price? Yeah. The food is good. The dessert bar is horrible. The cheesecake is a sad excuse for cheesecake. More cake less cheese. The chocolate was barely edible. There is always an obnoxious group of people that hover over the crab area. So unless it's a quiet night don't expect any of them unless you feel like waiting for the next batch to come out. Selection is decent but doesn't change much. Something for the picky eaters. Sushi, soup, salad. read more

I'm not a big fan of buffets but my friend and I were shopping this summer and stopped by Ichiban. This is an awesome buffet and I love the interior LOL. Though crowded most of the time, the food is fab. read more

Love the restuarant, they provide all sort of chinese food, japanese ( sushi and order to made stirred fries), western food and pretty good salad bar. The price wise is reasonable and affordable. read more

Not a bad place for lunch or dinner. Nice selection and a lot of seating. The service is okay for an establishment such as this one. Not really impressed with the sushi. But it's buffet sushi...can't expect super high quality stuff. read more

Wow, what a place!! went here with my soccer team on a Saturday afternoon, after one of our practices. food was magnificent. went with the classic general tos chicken and rice as my starter platter. within seconds of returning to my seat I began gorging myself. I found myself wanting seconds before I was even finished. but I had to try something else. I turned to the sushi bar were they have an assortment of rolls to chose from. I cant believe my eyes!! I grab 5 or 6 California rolls and joyfully return to my seat. this has made me even more happy. I bite into my first roll while conversating with friends. what a surprise. this is not a California roll. it appears I had grab 6 Philadelphia rolls. this turns me off. I must now fulfill my urge of hunger. I go back to grab some lo mien and crab ragoons. but they were all out. man my luck is shifting, I grab seconds of my first course but still eager to try more. my friends start to finish up so now I am feeling rushed. I quickly scarf down my plate and sprint to the dessert bar. I was in the mood for some brownie but considering they looked the equivalent of a hockey puck I went with the classic cone and vanilla ice cream. we get out to the car and that's when it hits. my insides twist and declare civil war on one another. my anus puckers and I quickly file everyone into the car. I speed home for my appointment with my toilet to be repainted. after a long 45 minutes of regretting being born I emerge from the bathroom victorious. overall food is excellent but you only have a narrow window after consuming it. still a top 3 Chinese buffet that I have been to. read more

This used to hands down be my favorite buffet in the area. But when I came this time, all of my favorites are no longer being served. The crawfish here was absolutely the best. Additionally the food isn't made as well. Vegetables are chopped quickly in larger more unceremonious pieces. read more

place needs a good cleaning. Food is always on the floor as well as ice cream drippings. Ladies room has paper all over the floor, water all over the counters. read more

I dined here again two days after my first visit. Today the restaurant featured beautiful fresh strawberries among other fruits, including fresh pineapple. Another individual inquired about the absence of tofu despite the huge selection of dishes. I also love tofu. Also conspicuous in its absence is egg foo young. The staff is lackluster and glum. My server spent her time talking with a co-worker, preparing set-ups, and eating. She lagged in clearing used plates and did not check the status of my beverage or offer a refill. If the staff had some spirit and friendliness, this could be a great place! read more

I have been going to this restaurant for about a year now and have not had a bad experience yet.the best part is it is a bring your on bottle since they do not serve alcohol .the Carrot cake is to die for . read more

Better than the other one near Chester. Much more variety and you have cones for the ice cream. Beware the General Tso Chicken is more like Orange Chicken. However, share a drink and the cost is not too bad!! read more

Very average buffet. Some of the food was warm when it should have been hot. Staff barely understood English was hard to explain things to them. read more

This is my wife's and I favorite buffet. The reason it is 4 and not 5 stars is they spice all the seafood the same. Also they have added imitation crab to several dishes such as the coconut shrimp has become coconut shrimp and crab and the scallops now have imitation crab mixed in with the scallops. read more

My food was raw when cooked by the guy at the grill. I found a hair and a buy in my food. The sushi was the only thing tolerable. The chocolate fountain tasted like the Choclate was dollar store cheap choclate. The ice cream was icy and wasn't milky or good tasting at all. read more

On business trip to Philly area and ran across this buffet place. Compare it to the other buffet places in the west coast, I think the price is worth trying. Sushi bar items are delicious, seafood is fresh, grill bar offers fresh made items, many different soup choices, deserts are good, which includes chocolate dips, and many fresh fruit choices. read more

Yuck! Restaurant was clean. Wait staff was nice but the food was pretty pathetic. I was not pleased with any of the food. There were lots of choices...just not my cup of tea I suppose. read more

The prices are increased on Sunday's which makes no sense. Also the sushi bar looks messy all the time. Would be better if they kept it somewhat cleaner. And more organized. Also some of the waiters are rude and seem as if they obviously hate their job. Don't smile or greet back. Just seems to be another Chinese family franchise that just cares to take money without any sufficient customer service. If you're looking for somewhere cheap to eat Monday-Saturday with OK food than it's worth checking out. read more

This place is really good. The prices are well worth it and the food is great. Also, the workers are very nice and attentive. There is a lot of variety of food to eat and would recommend to anyone. read more

If I could give it negative stars I would. My husband got two pieces of sweet and sour chicken. There was a special surprise a COCKROACH!! There was an employee there. We alerted her. She argued with us that we must be confused. We left our plates headed to the cash register. And the employee asked why we weren't taking our plates we said we're not eating here. There's roaches in your food. We proceeded to the cashier. She argued with us too. Stating the exterminator was just there. My suggestion..get a new exterminator. There was for sure a roach in your chicken read more

really good food. nice servers. i recommend coming here. not very crowded in the afternoon

Haven't been here recently, but last time I went I ate too much . Buffett is clean, plenty choices. If you're a member of la fitness it is a probably a great idea to work out before eating. Once a ate a big mac and then attempted to work out. Wtf. but yes for a clean and tasty dining experience in the buffet world. I definitely recommend this place! read more

I've never experienced worse customer service. The staff here is extremely rude and impatient. My fiance and I came here tonight to eat and ended up walking out after 15 minutes. When we paid, we were told to stand the side of the desk to wait to be seated. A waitress approached us and I smiled and said "hi, we have 2 people" and she responded by saying "give me your receipt". My fiance handed her our receipt and she turned around and started to walk away saying nothing else. We followed her to our seat and asked if we could be seated somewhere else because there was a large party next to our booth that was encroaching on our space. She said there were no other open tables, but I could clearly see several, and we reluctantly agreed to stay in that booth. My fiance and I both went to get our plates and came back to our table and could barely get into our seats trying to navigate around the crowd of people from the party, that were standing around our booth. We sat and tried to eat our food while the group of people took pictures backed up to our table, banged into our table and at multiple times were actually standing so close their butts were in our booth and on our table. We asked our drink server multiple times to either move us to a different table or do something about the situation and received no help. I finally went to the front desk and asked the cashier if we could be refunded because we wanted to leave, after eating not even a full plate each and was told no they could not refund us. We explained the situation in detail to the man David at the register and he said over and over again that there was nothing he could do about it. As far as the food, what we did manage to eat was okay. Everything seemed pretty fresh and kept fairly warm. The stuffed scallops were delicious, although I only tried one because I wasn't even able to go up for more due to the seating situation. All in all, I don't plan to ever return to that buffet. Up until this experience, my fiance and I were regulars here but seeing the way the staff treats their customers changed that. If the seating situation would have been handled differently and our business appreciated, I would have definitely returned, but clearly they do not value your loyal customers. read more

I went here few weeks back. They had blue crabs and crawfish. The crawfish was spicy and biggest I had at a buffet. Their sushi bar was ok with rolls and sashimi. The price was pretty cheap also for a sat night. read more

This is our family's go to place for Chinese buffet. We are sushi lovers and Ichiban has, without a doubt, the best sushi I've ever seen at a buffet. Lots of the usual sushi fare, plus lots of newer, fancier sushi that make for a delightful sushi experience. The salad bar is nice and large, the hot dishes are pretty typical buffet fare. Everything from classic chinese food to American staples like meatloaf and mashed potatoes. But the crown jewel is probably the dessert buffet. Cakes, cookies, brownies, ice cream and a chocolate waterfall. The desserts alone might be worth the price of admission read more

I've been there many times for lunch and dinner and have never been disappointed. I love their selection and they are always adding more. There hibachi grill is great, and they have sushi rolls a lot of buffets don't serve. There's even a chocolate fountain with marshmallows and strawberries to dip. I never have to wait for seating, the staff is nice, and the place is clean. I have no complaints and I feel as though this place should be tried by everyone at least once. read more

This place is ok in my opinion. If you are looking for a buffet environment this place is probably one of the better in the area. The staff is friendly and selection is good. I'm not into buffets but the kids love it. read more

Great food and lots of variety. There's not only Asian food they also have American food.

I did not enjoy this. The food was flavorless and stale tasting. The staff was Meh. Fries were 5 different colors. Weird..The only decent thing was the pizza although a bit under cooked. The soft serve was good but thats kind of hard to mess up since i suppose. No thanks go somewhere else. Edit...A few hours later i had stomach issues..Eating here was the only thing i had that day. Food got me sick...)" read more

I would have given them four stars (really three and a half but Yelp only does whole stars) but the last two times we were there my party was given our checks before we'd finished our meals! This is pretty rude, especially since I know that that's not something you do in Chinese culture (even though this buffet has a Japanese name it's Chinese-run and like 25% is Chinese food, we had two Chinese-American friends with us who told us giving a check before the meal is finished is rude in Chinese culture), so I'm giving this place just two stars now. Why not just one? Well, truth to tell, it's a great value for the price, just eight bucks for lunch and like twelve for dinner (which isn't that different, just you get a little more seafood options, mainly giant crab legs and those nasty-looking little crayfish things!) and the taste can be pretty decent, depending on the dish (I think their BBQ beef rib tips are the best things offered)...but damn, why look like you're trying to rush us out the door??? read more

My favorite and best Asian buffet thus far. I come here once or twice a month and love the assortment of entrée items they have to offer. Ichiban's has entrées ranging from endless sushi, Hibachi grill choices to desserts, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and American selections. Formally Old Country Buffet, so the setup inside is very similar. read more

comfortable place for friends to talk and meet. we stay a long time and enjoy a lot food.

Horrible...the management worries more of the money that they are making than having a clean place and good food...no one over there cares if people eat good food or don't eat it, doesn't make a difference as long as the money keeps coming in...the food area is not cleaned on regular basis, food is recycled for all the animals to graze on but hardly clean....when you ask any workers for anything, they nod their head, as they don't speak English. They don't care whether you are waiting for food or not....this place is dirty, if you look, any area of the buffet you will find customers and workers all fingering the food and and you will find hair in the buffet...it's a breeding ground for MRSA...it's just a matter of time...these people (management) push the crowd into a big room and they have dirty food out for people to graze on like we are nothing but cattle...think about it this way...if you go to chicken farm and see hundreds of chicken in a warehouse with no space to move around, crap all over the place and getting their food through tubes...it's just like that except they are using humans...just horrible and dirty....Springfield Township really needs to investigate this establishment for cleanliness and proper handling of food. If this doesn't happen, I would think then that the health dept in Springfield Township is in bed with the management. Go their at your own risk..good luck. read more

Best buffet with a lot of different options for food. They have sushi, a fruit bar, a couple of different soups, lots of different Chinese food and American food that includes ribs, a whole ham and etc. Definitely give this place a try. read more

i just ate a dinner but my car was malicious scratched and attacked by the restaurant's ice cream cone! my car was just parked in front of the restaurant's window but no waiter can explained and they just looked at me and laughed! wtf! i will never come here ever! read more

If I could give zero stars I would, I waited in line for almost 15 minutes and when it was my turn the guy told me to wait and then he decided to take the group of people behind me instead. He totally ignored me, so I decided to just leave. Will not be returning read more

I'm giving this buffet 4 stars. This is my family's go to spot when we want a nice inexpensive meal. During lunchtime the price is about 12 dollars with drinks & it's unlimited buffet. The people are nice. They get a little annoyed sometimes during a rush but for the price I don't mind. read more

For the price and food, you're definitely getting money's worth, but the quality isn't amazing. If you have a big party and wanna accommodate to everyone, this is the place for you. Can't go wrong Going here, it's just not gonna be the best quality. read more

Many buffets across the country are known for their wide selection of food to the public and seafood is one of the most favored. Ichiban Seafood Buffet is an Asian restaurant which many customers visit if they are craving seafood. This restaurant serves a variety of food in several styles including fried noodles, fried rice, sushi, crabs, crayfish, salmon, and scallops. Some dishes are stir fried while others are steamed. In this restaurant, consumers serve themselves by going up to the counters and selecting from the vast assortment of food. The chefs prepare other cuisines including broccoli with chicken, dumplings, shrimp, steak, clams, and prime ribs that melt in your mouth. Ichiban also has a full salad bar, especially suitable for vegetarians. The food is aligned and categorized based on similarities; seafood is placed together, rice and noodles are placed together, and vegetables are positioned together. For dessert, Ichiban provides cakes, fruit, ice cream, jello, and they even display a chocolate fountain. The buffet reveals simplicity and is elegantly decorated with lavishing lights on each booth and above the brown tables. The lights are not too bright and are perfectly lightened to make the whole buffet feel hospitable and comfortable. For convenience and entertainment, there are several television sets above on the walls. The buffet also holds a separate private room reserved for small family parties or gatherings. The waitresses who work in the restaurant are to provide drinks for their customers and remove used plates after their customers are finished eating. Unfortunately, there is a chance you may come across some bitter waitresses that can be impolite and grouchy if customers ask for what they need. However, most display their courtesy and are kind enough to ask throughout your meal if you need a refill on your drink. I was astounded by the tidiness of this restaurant considering its large space, which means it could take some time to clear the tables and floor. Overall, the service is acceptable and almost every waitress I've had, deserved a large tip. The immaculate atmosphere releases homely feelings of serenity. I would rank this restaurant four out of five "fishes". I believe that the majority of the people who have taken the time to visit this buffet and explore the seafood and Asian food, have enjoyed and appreciated not only the food but also the environment. The price is reasonable because it costs $12.99 for adults and $7.99 for kids and it is worth it for the food you receive. I would not give Ichiban Seafood Buffet five out of five "fishes" because the food is not the best I have ever tasted although it is appetizing. Evidently, there are certain dishes that are more delectable than others but overall, the food is decent. The environment is remarkable and I highly recommend visiting this restaurant. read more
