Ichigo Ichie Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Sanford, Florida

I stumbled upon this location while out shopping. After seeing how affordable it is I decided to give it a try. Personally I go to buffets like this for the all you can eat sushi so my review is going to be a little biased. I really liked the selection they had for the sushi. They had a variety from crab to tuna and salmon as well as white fish. Other restaurants tend to just have an abundance of crab rolls so it was nice to see they had different fish available. The servers were nice and picked up the plates pretty quickly. I don't think the pile ever got some more than one round for all of us. The restaurant looks really nice. The chandeliers over the food are a nice touch. If you're in the area, I would definitely recommend checking this place out. read more

I thought I reviewed this place a couple years ago. My wife and I love buffets and have hit almost all of them in the Orlando and surrounding area. Ichigo Ichie is definitely the best for an all around buffet. It's got 8 stations plus the hibachi and sushi. The sushi looked fine but this is not the place if your main purpose is sushi. But if you want all the standard asian soups, salads, vegetables, and hot dishes, as well as pretty good American food (the wings were actually pretty solid), then look no further. Going at lunch time, everything was super fresh and at the right temp. Service was prompt and friendly. The one lady even told me to please go eat dessert. lol. Give them a try if you want a good buffet. read more

I love me a decent Chinese buffet for a great value. This dinner buffet for $15.99 fit the bill, but the soft drink was not included (add $2.99). Nothing was gourmet here but it was easy to get your money's worth, which is easier these days as Chinese takeout is cray cray pricey! They had a Hibachi where you can load your plate with raw proteins (shrimp, chicken, beef, pork) and choose from tons of veggies, rice/noods and even raw eggs. They had some different sauces and I asked for garlic with some chili and it came back pretty bland. I wish they'd let me make my own sauce as I'd make a killer flavorful dish. It was cooked well and I was able to add white sauce! The bonus is hibachi is always HOT! They had very few entree dishes available in comparison with desserts, salads, pizza, appetizers, and other items. The entree's I did try were not overly hot so I just tried them for flavor. They need to make sure the food is hot hot hot. It was not not not! If you like seafood, they had some good options with peel and eat shrimp, crawfish, some other big red crustacean (where greedy people were taking ALL of them like they're the only ones in the restaurant). They also had raw oysters and sushi. I was heading to a bar afterwards and skipped the messy items and potentially dangerous raw items. They had a variety of soups as well. I love adding wontons to my hot and sour soup, which actually had a kick to it! Fun. The Crab Rangoons were great too, as were the dumplings. The best thing I had was the chicken wing! It had that "Yellow" flavor (I don't know what it is, but I love it), but the wing was hot, juicy, crispy and delicious which is a rare combo in chicken wing world. I could have just eaten these and got my money's worth, but wanted to sample other stuff. I skipped the desserts and ice cream, but could see why people would load up on these things. The place was pretty big, the service was great with the waitstaff hustling to refill drinks and clear plates. I went on a Saturday during dinner to hopefully maximize the freshness of the food (a good idea at any buffet). It did not maximize hotness. 3 stars because you have to hunt for hot food. I'm not sure if I'd go back or not as there are other options in the area I'd try. I don't live close but if I did, I might make it a once-a-month indulgence. read more

My boyfriend found this spot driving around and what a great buffet spot. It's hard to find good buffets but this one has great food, good service, clean restaurant environment. Our server Amy was very kind and very attentive. We paid about $17 per person for dinner and the price is well worth the options they have, I will be back for more read more

I love Asian food and all you can eat so I had to try this place out! My friend wanted to try it so we came for Sunday all day dinner. The restaurant was clean and the staff was very attentive. They have a good variety of everything. I tried a little bit of everything to find out what I liked the most and save room for it. I found a lot of the food to be lukewarm and nothing fried was crispy. The food and sushi overall was not great. Can't list everything but I'll make a few notes. Mac and Cheese wasn't cheesy no flavor. Krab Rangoon were good but they were cold and not crispy. Honey Chicken was okay and so was the General Tsos, sauce was good but it felt like it was left to sit out for awhile. Lo Mein just tasted like spaghetti with light sauce on it. Fried Rice just tasted like regular rice. Sushi was okay, the fish wasn't bad. Shrimp were very mushy and I couldn't stomach the texture. The Miso Soup was okay not bad. Coconut Shrimp was good. The desserts were okay. There are other buffets that are way better than this place and around the same price. I don't see myself coming back here. If they were to keep their food hot it would make a big difference. I would not recommend this place though. read more

We came to Ichigo Ichie Buffet not expecting much but did have a good meal but not as wide as selection as other Chinese Buffets we been to in the area. First when entering they entrance was no trills and did not have that welcome feeling. We were greeted by a hostess and given a booth in a fairly empty restaurant. It was a little after 1 pm so maybe the lunch crowd had already left. As I mentioned the food selection was less than other places we have recently visited but the food we had was good. Our waitress did remove our plates when we go up for another visit and my tea was refilled. One thing I didn't care for were the plates were styrofoam. Overall the food was good, the service was good and the price was also fair. We also had coupons which gave us $2 off which we applied to the tip. The men's bathroom had trash on the floor and a missing urinal but appeared clean. We probably will not be returning due to other places nearby we prefer but if you are in the area and like Chinese buffets give it a try. read more

Dirty dingy and always I feel sick after eating. Food tends to be cold staff is friendly and I guess the price is low.

After a long morning, we decided to stop for lunch at the sanford location. We were greeted by Friendly staff and seated within seconds. Both the hibachi grill and the sushi bar were included with the lunch menu There was plenty to choose from. Definitely not a five star lunch Experience, but it's worth mentioning that everything was fresh.Fried chicken was crispy.Egg rolls were tasty read more

i dont care who you are, or how refined your taste in food is. ichigo ichie is by far the most magical establishment you could ever eat at. Do not let the suspicious, dirty ambiance fool you. The food here is made with such tender love and care, that my boyfriend and i, right after having a singular bite of sushi, were overcome with such emotion, that we immediately began to passionately make out right infront of the families sitting nearby. The old woman serving us touched her hand to my forehead and within an instant i was cured of all illnesses i had. The wonton soup tastes as if Jesus H. Christ himself pissed into a pot and blessed it with the holy spirit. The strange fried balls of dough that after seventeen years of coming here i STILL cannot identify taste SO magnificent, that if i was told the sugar its coated in was actually pure cocaine distributed straight from the captial of Columbia, i wouldnt even bat an eye. Overall, if i had a million dollars, id invest all one million of it into this resturant. PLEASE GIVE IT A CHANCE read more

Food is always cold never fresh and hot and taste old and the price is to much never get to bring it home for that price

The food taste like they have 1 chef and they told him to be cheap for them. I like to see all Asians doing well... But I think they need help cooking... Not from me... But they need help cooking... Sure was not alright or even rich... I think this place would make other hate Asian food... Bad place to spend your hard earn dollars on... read more

We ate there just yesterday. Wow people giving them 3 stars is just not fair?? I think they are one of the best Chinese buffets in Florida. I'm originally from New York and know what good Chinese food is supposed to taste like. I've eaten at places like King Buffet in Westchester County, a few restaurants in norther Westchester and I've eaten food in China town NYC all my life. (You'd think I was jewish but I'm not LOL). They usually have about 60-70 choices which includes an excellent salad bar set up. You'll eat like a king /queen! The spread of their buffet is always amazing and delicious! They usually have 4 to 6 varieties of shrimp. Which is what I love. Let me give you a list of everything I ate yesterday (and all but the deserts) all were spot on. Won Ton soup, fried dumplings, egg roll, pig in a blanket (mini hot dogs-first time trying that). Honey Chicken, General Tao's Chicken, Bourbon Chicken, Lo Mein noodles and they had "angel hair" type of Noodles too. Fresh made stuffed crab which was done to perfection. BTW, they usually have a lot of seafood including crab legs, and just too many things to list. I had some fried potatoes that were cooked in olive oil that were surprisingly good. A half slice of pepperoni pizza. I didn't get any shrimp because I had some the day before from Red Lobster. My girlfriend loves their incredible salad bar selections. I like it too if I'm into it. She also likes to try some of the deserts which being from New York, it just doesn't cut it for me or her. We usually never like their baked deserts they taste too powdery, and dry and simply lack flavor. They look like they try hard to please with their deserts but frankly I think their chef could use a little coaching. I think it would boost their restaurant's rating. Their fresh fruits -and they have a lot of it cut up like ready for fruit salad etc. are a far better choice. Or go for some of their self serve ice cream. If there is one place they could improve it's their deserts. BTW, they feature a hibachi chef who I think usually gets a modest tip. I don't usually use that when I go there. There's just far too many other choices ready for you to indulge in. BTW, Please remember the golden rule and at least leave those hard working busing waitresses a modest tip or a more generous one if you feel like it. I see they usually are straight from China, lack an english vocabulary, and people seem to not appreciate their hard work. I notice people don't always leave them anything. And that is so wrong!) I left them 5 dollars after having their lunch buffet. (Which is a few dollars less). Man that girl's face lit up when I told her I left her 5 dollars. read more

Normally the Asian buffets are pretty much the same, but this one stands out in several ways. One the buffet is really large and has A Lot of choices, way more than most. They also had what I know as "creamy shrimp", which even the place I first had it at no longer has, they call it "coconut shrimp" here. A few of the staples are made a little differently here, the bourbon chicken and general tso chicken among them. Two, plenty of seating, this place is big! Three. They have a real salad bar, not the typical lettuce and a few odd add-ons like most Asian buffets. They had about 20 different standard toppers. All in all, I give it a 4, good food, great variety, good service and very reasonable prices, for example on Sunday, it is 12.99 all day. read more

So I eat here somewhat frequently. The food is not too bad. The service is my problem. All the ladies that work here look very mad and act very mad. From the ones that seat you and takes your drink order to the one that clears your plates. The only time you get a bit of a smile is when they hand you the check with the fortune cookies. If I knew of better Chinese buffets I probably would stop going here all together. read more

You know I always keep it real. When I give a bad review you know its the honest truth. I ate here on a Friday night, our waitress was amazing and extremely polite and always had a smile on her face. This place used to have a really original atmosphere but it seems like its starting to become unkept. None of the food I ate was actually hot to be honest it was barely warm. So I said Im just gonna have some of the smaller deserts. The cheese cake was so stale you could break it in two. Now I had one of the small eclair which also looked stale, I took one bite and instantly tasted something funny, so I took a napkin and removed it. I look at the uneaten portion and there was green mold. So not to make a scene i put it into a napkin and went to the hostess and showed her, she got the manager. Yes they were extremely apologetic. But here is what got me, she said ok Ill give you a discount. We were a party of four. The discount was they charged myself as a child $11.99. The meal was 75.00 came out to a $15 tip which was deserved, our waitress was amazing. But im sorry I left nauseated. Sorry but I will not be returning and its a shame because it used to be a really fun place. read more

At one time this used to be one of our favorite buffets in the area. Over the years it has slowly declined in quality and cleanliness. We only come here every few months now and the food has become hit-and-miss. It is usually a safe bet to come here when it's busiest, Friday for dinner, Saturday for lunch/dinner and Sunday for Brunch. Today (Sunday) brunch was a bit slow and we risked it. About 1/3 of the "hot" food was actually room temperature in the center. Three of my favorite items were inedible. The salmon was actually bad and overcooked into mush, the fried fish was good but cold and the tempura chicken was room temp and doughy like it had been there for hours. This was followed up by bad stuffed crab shells, room temp bourbon chicken, dried up Mac and cheese, room temp steamed clams and Coconut shrimp floating in a separated cream sauce. The safest items tonight were the peal and eat shrimp, Hibachi grill, sushi bar, soup bar, salad bar and desert bar. I complained to the manager about how bad things were and showed her the problem areas. Shortly after, the crew replaced the salmon and stuffed crab shells but left everything else there for other patrons to eat. It's a shame to see this place go down hill to the point were they could care less about a potential foodborn illness outbreak. I hope they can turn it around before things get out of control. read more

Came for dinner buffet at 5:00 pm...big mistake. Every pan was full, but few were fresh. A couple of observations (or this would get too long) - Salmon Sashimi was mushy and had a funky taste. Sweet and Sour Chicken was tough and cold. Crab Rangoons tried to snap back at me they were so tough. We asked for a quiet table, so we were seated and then a party of six with 3 under 5 year olds were seated next to us even though there was plenty of room at other tables. Finally, I was reminded of the Soup Nazi when I didn't replace the Hibachi Tong back properly - the Cook stopped what he was doing, picked it up and slammed it a few inches closer. Me thinks this will be my only visit here. read more

This place is frickin amazing. The Hibachi guy was amazing guy didn't talk that much when he was making my food and thats perfect for me! (I'm introverted). Food was also delicious. if I could kiss a restaurant this is the restaurant I would kiss. I'm definitely coming back to this place read more

The food doesn't really taste that great compared to other chinese buffet. But they have hibachi, sushi, a variety of entree, fried food, fruits, salad, dessert and ice cream just like any other buffet. Their sashimi doesn't taste fresh at all. The only reason I came here is cause of the location. And the price isn't bad at all. The good thing about this place is that it has fresh raw oyster (although the size was small, it tasted fresh. but I came in February ... so I'm not sure if I'll trust it during hot months), crab legs(for extra $10 and there's even a limit to how much you can eat), fried scallops, cheesecake (I haven't seen this in buffets). There's also crawfish but I think it's only available on weekends including Friday nights. Same for oysters. Basically anything that's more expensive would usually be available for dinner price only All other items are pretty much the same as other buffets. read more
