    Random fried food

    Just went back to Ichiyami for dinner with the family the other night. We've been coming here for years and it's generally been very good. There are some ups and downs here and there but overall they have proven to be a very reliable sushi buffet place. The time around I went with the salmon nigiri, spicy tuna rolls, the salmon avocado and cream cheese rolls as well as some custom stir fry and the beef wrapped asparagus. Everything was pretty good I have to say. No problems at all with the food quality and they were outstanding with keeping all of the trays full on a very busy night. Definitely make it a point to check this place out if you are in the mood for and all you can eat spot. I would recommend it.

    Ichiyama is one of my favorite restaurants in Boca. This restaurant is always hopping with people so you know everything is fresh whether it be sushi, Chinese food or hibatchi. There is an abundance of sashimi and sushi food for the sushi lovers as well as a wall full of Chinese dishes and a hibachi station. When you are finished with dinner they is also an assortment of desserts you can choose. My go to restaurant whenever I am in fla.

    Ichiyami Buffet & Sushi has plenty of food options, but unfortunately the overall experience just isn't worth the hassle. First off, the parking situation is horrendous, especially on weekends. Expect nonstop honking, frustrated drivers, and circling the lot (and nearby streets) for 30+ minutes just to find a spot. Inside, the buffet feels more like a crowded cafeteria than a restaurant. Tons of kids running around -- at one point I honestly felt like I'd wandered into a Disney vacation instead of a sushi buffet. To be fair, the crab legs (available at dinner only) are the highlight. But even then, there's no drawn butter and not even any wet wipes to clean up afterward, which just adds to the frustration. Overall, lots of food choices but not much comfort. With the parking chaos, cafeteria vibes, and lack of small touches that make a buffet enjoyable, I can't give it more than 2 stars.

    Sushi purists would faint, but my wallet applauded. All-you-can-eat sushi: the concept that terrified Japanese purists and thrilled American college students since it first popped up in the U.S. back in the 1980s. The idea was simple -- "eat until the fish runs out, or you do." Boca Raton's Ichiyami Buffet & Sushi carries that torch proudly. Walk in and you're greeted with rows of tuna, salmon, and rolls galore -- some classic, some experimental, all designed to make you say, "Sure, I'll try it, it's included." The fish was fresh, the rolls plentiful, and the variety strong enough that you don't get bored halfway through the plate. I stuck with the tuna, salmon, and a sampling of rolls, and it was decent value for the price. And then came the showstopper today: I literally watched a man put down 60 raw oysters like he was competing for a Guinness World Record. Impressive? Yes. Terrifying? Also yes. It's the kind of sight that makes you rethink your own digestive limits and mutter a quiet prayer for his ride home. This is a true story. Watching a man eat 60 oysters should come with a parental advisory. The Details: * Plenty of sushi options, including nigiri and rolls that don't just repeat themselves. * Hot food section if you need to cheat on raw fish with fried rice or tempura. * Soy sauce and wasabi available in comical quantities, so you can drown your rolls like every beginner sushi eater since time immemorial. * Value-wise? Solid. You won't mistake this for Nobu, but you're also not paying Nobu prices. All-you-can-eat sushi: because moderation is overrated. Ichiyami is a Boca buffet worth visiting when you want to eat well without emptying your bank account. Fresh fish, plenty of rolls, and enough spectacle (see: oyster man) to make the visit memorable. Come hungry, pace yourself, and remember: just because it's all-you-can-eat doesn't mean you should test the limits of human biology.

    This place was so good! The fish was really fresh, the buffet areas were clean and organized, and the staff was so attentive and friendly.' I went during lunch and the price for unlimited sushi was a steal. Definitely recommend and definitely coming back!

    Great buffet, and super easy to overindulge. The variety of their sushi selection is amazing, service was friendly and fast (never saw my glass fully empty), hot food was constantly refilled to stay fresh. Prices are good, but parking here sucks.

    I will be honest, this review was teetering towards a 4 star review for a couple of reasons: I was looking for an AYCE sushi place while day tripping in Boca Raton and came upon this place here on Yelp promoting itself as an AYCE sushi restaurant. Also they charge you for ice tea, and I assume soda as well. However, the food (outside of the sushi) made it trend upwards to a 5 star experience (along with the above average service). Everything that I ate, except for the sushi, was delicious and fresh. We came here for dinner and it was about 6pm on a weekday and the place was almost packed, but we acquired a table. A few of the highlights that stuck out to me were the BBQ pork ribs (tender, with a mildly sweet sauce), at least 3 different prepared shrimp dishes (fairly large, fresh and plentiful), and the snow crab legs (fresh, plump meat within). I tried a few other things and they were all tasty and fresh. My only gripe was the actual sushi I was looking forward to. Although it was plentiful, both in quantity and variety, none of it was satisfying. I am so glad I only took one piece, of about five I chose from. They were edible, they just were not that great (they were just OK). The place was clean and overall a comfortable dining experience. This was probably one of the best Asian buffets I (we) have been too. I highly recommend it to both the tourists, like us, or locals (there were quite a few obvious early snowbirds present when we were there).

    Ichiyami is easily becoming one of my favorite buffets You know it's good because there's always a wait The seafood is so fresh and you can also ask for hot butter And the crab crackers are right there so you don't have to ask the server The hibachi also seemed to improve since the last time And the other dishes got a little more rhyme One of my favorite things they have there is the steak wrapped asparagus And I never knew they have good crawfish! Everything is good for buffet quality The server is attentive so that just adds in quantity

    Ok, this is our go-to place for good sushi, being a buffet. The quality of the food is good and there is a wide variety, both sushi and hot dishes. The service is not bad, the attention of the waiters is usually good. The hostesses, on the other hand, are a separate issue, they always seem not to want to be there, they don't know what to do, I have never seen any of them smile, they are not friendly and seem to be lost. Aside from this, beyond being an important point, the rest meets expectations, except for the bathrooms, they are disgusting.

    I'm not generally a buffet kind of guy, but Ichiyami was pretty good. Place was clean and well kept with a nice outside eating area. Their sushi and sashimi is surprisingly good for a buffet. I only say that because the few other Asian buffet places I've tried the rolls were mainly rice and the sashimi was non-existent. The rest of their buffet was also really tasty and well prepared. Service was friendly and accommodating. Overall, I think this was a top notch buffet!

    If this was the only area of the buffet, it would be enough as it is the freshest and most delicious sushi and sashimi

    I picked a stop at this place because we would be passing by at a perfect time to make a stop on our trip home from Vero Beach. The reviews were quite good and I was looking for a sushi dinner. I am glad I did stop in. The initial experience was tarnished by the hostess, who asked probing questions about my service dog beyond what is legal to ask before admitting me to the restaurant. She then demanded to see a service animal picture ID, which is something that does not truly exist and is usually carried by those people that buy false IDs on Amazon or other mail order. She begrudgingly accepted the DOT paperwork, which is actually the only official document for service animals that I know of. She went on to break the law in refusing to sit us in the main area of the dining room and sticking us in a corner of what she referred to as the party room, but was actually an isolated area in a back riom separated from the rest of the restaurant. I chose not to make issue of this because I was hungry and strictly by a culinary perspective. I am glad I did. It can be seen in the many pictures, the food is really quite exceptional. It looks great, but it tasted even better. The variety was superb and the sushi and sashimi was as fresh as I have had in any restaurant. Unlike most buffets, the sashimi was plentiful and I have to say that I enjoyed it very very much. The sushi was also quite beautifully arranged and both the nigiri and the rolls were expertly prepared with the freshest to fish both looking and tasting wonderful. I sampled some hot food as well, and it was good, but the highlight remain remained on the sushi. There were also crab legs which were delicious and the hibachi area that I did not have time or appetite to try so I cannot comment. And I always love green tea ice cream for dessert so it's quite happy with that as well. The restaurant appeared lovely, but I did not get to experience it because, as I said, I was relegated to a corner in a back room. This substantially took away from enjoying the experience of eating in a comfortable environment. For this reason alone, I doubt I will go back. it is too bad that their staff was so completely noncompliant with the laws governing access for people with disabilities or they would've had a regular customer. For those without disabilities, I highly recommend this restaurant and hope they will step up and do the right thing to those with disabilities in the future.

    A very wide variety of Asian dishes that matched the price point. The large amount of sushi and sashimi was a pleasant surprise!

    YES! YES! YES! YES AGAIN!…read more My boyfriend and I had date night last Saturday, and it was our first time dining here. The staff was really nice, the restaurant was super clean, and the ingredients were fresh. I had the spicy Taiwanese soup base. My boyfriend had the Coconut Tom Yum. We enjoyed a nice selection of different meats such as pork, lamb, and beef. Seafood options include shrimp, squid, and octopus. Quail eggs, frog legs (if you're into that :), and tofu. The conveyor belt was super fun because you could watch it as it went by and pick up whatever garnishes you wanted. Green onions, mushrooms, parsley, cilantro, cauliflower ... I could go on and on. We also had dessert. My favorite is the red bean and macha ice cream! Can't wait to go back! ***ALSO order the tea***

    This place is in a outdoor shopping plaza. Plenty of parking lot parking. We came at about 5:30 on…read morea Saturday and we're seated right away but by the time we left around 6:30 the place was poppin' and there was definitely a wait. This place offers a set price for Hot pot and is buffets style as well as conveyor belt delivery for veggies; you just swipe what you want. You start by picking a soup of choice and then you gather the food you need, cook it yourself in the pot and there are instructions and available on the wall for cooking times. It's relatively straightforward. Be careful with how much you grab as they will charge you for any excessive leftovers. I got the tom kha and my fiance got the tom yum. He found his soup to be a little on the lemony side for his taste but I think that's just a preference not a reflection of the quality of the soup. I loved my coconutty tom kha. Our waiter showed us how to operate the dial and gave us information about cooking time recommendation. We ordered some hot tea and had a wonderful time. The buffet appeared to be clean and the food fresh and well kept. I tried a variety of meat as well as seafood. The shrimp had a little bit of a previously frozen kind of taste but the scallops were excellent. I think in the end I'm not a big fan of the red meat even though it cooks quickly and tastes fine I just think preference wise I more so enjoyed loading up on the vegetables and noodles. The best thing I had there was the gyoza, so freaking good, highly recommend. It is worth noting that my fiance love the meat, so the great thing about this place is the variety and how multiple people can sit down and enjoy what they like, together. Drop by!
