I've been coming here for years. It has been awesome. This last time may have just been me, but the only thing edible was the hibachi. I used to love their sushi. This time not so much. The fish did not taste fresh to me this time. Even at the hot food portion the broccoli in the broccoli and chicken was inedible. The service was great though. They were very attentive to my needs. Mainly refilling my drink and taking away the food I could not eat. Didn't say anything to me really, but hey nothing really to say to me. The decor definitely needs an update. The ambiance there seems a bit dated. I could use a glow up for sure add a bit more lighting to it. Freshen the view up. Plus take down the printed signs in the dining room that discourage people from dining there. It paints the restaurant in a negative light and it is just tacky. They could of had a bad day with the food and truthfully I hope that's all it is. Another suggestion I would do is get rid of the buckets of ice cream and get a soft serve dispenser. That way you don't have all the people's hands reaching into the ice cream buckets. Again I haven't written the place up, but I do hope that they'll do some updates and fix the food. read more

We've driving diving by this place for quite a while & finally made it there for dinner! I am a picky eater (unlike my husband), so the hibachi option caught my attention. The restaurant is very nice looking and seems to be clean. The decor is very fitting for this type of restaurant. Service was really good. Plates were cleared quickly and drinks were always refilled when needed. Food was really good! My negatives are few, but they're nothing big. By husband said some of the buffet items were not hot, but they seemed to be refilling and swapping out food regularly, so he figured it was just bad timing in his part. Very happy with the wontons. The hibachi was good, especially after learning how it works. However, it is a small grill and the cook was loading too much on, or couldn't keep track of the food. My second helping ended up on a plate mixed with someone else's food. I didn't have any meat and he had like 3 types of meat, so I was not interested in it. We will definitely be back. The Crazy Asian buffet/hibachi had been our go to, but it just changed to this restaurant! read more

If I could give it a -5 I would. This buffet is unappealing, they have really not taken care of this restaurant and that is sad. The food was COLD, no flavor, we were sat in the back room and there was a horrible odor of mildew or must that was just so bad my appetite went away. As I went to the restroom I passed by a "kitchen area" and let me tell you, it is NOT clean, like put a curtain or a door if you don't want your customers to vomit because of the filth, the restroom doors, floors well everything was just dirty like it had not been wiped down in months. This is a restaurant, how can one anyone WORK like that and two EAT there. On top of that, the server was seen once and I waited a good 10 minutes before I had enough with the stench from that room, I had to go up to the front to pay. PLEASE do your customers a solid favor, CLEAN your restaurant!! read more

Was having a girls day and my bestie wanted a Chinese buffet. I have not found a buffet I like in years! But this was recommended. I'll start by saying the staff were nice. Nothing really stood out and this seems like it's a one and done for me. The buffet had a lot of options but all the food I tried was just eh. They had quite a few seafood dishes which my friend enjoyed I'm not big on seafood myself but she said they were ok. They have a sushi station and a hibachi type make your own plate station where you pick the toppings and a chef will cook it. I didn't try either of them. They had a lot of written signage all around the restaurant which was kind of overwhelming to me because I am the type that if there is a sign I feel like I have to know what it says because I feel like if it's a sign it's important. read more

The hibachi was pretty good but some of the offerings on the buffet where lukewarm or cold or not refreshed doing a busy lunch hour, which not exactly ideal, but the buffet had nice variations and lots of options to try read more

The food was lukewarm and not very appealing. They did offer a buy-one-get-one-free cocktail special, which was a nice perk. The staff and overall atmosphere were friendly. read more

The hibachi buffet was okay. The food was decent with a good variety, but nothing really stood out. The service wasn't very friendly, though not rude either. Overall, an average buffet experience. read more

Absolute garbage. Flies and outdated decor. Bathrooms are in need of repair. Just don't do it

This used to be my most favorite Chinese buffet. The greeter was very nice - she put us back in a room with noone else in it - we were looking for a half booth. After that, I should have left this buffet as a great memory. Sushi was excellent. That's where it stopped. Not one item on the Buffet was even warm. It was like the staff didn't want to get rid of anything at the end of the day - they could just put it back on ice for the next day. The pepper chicken was like stones - was afraid I would break a tooth on it. This is not the way it was in the past - way too expensive for what we got. read more

Service terrible. Paid over 40$ for 2 people and didn't even get hibachi tonight. The girl at the front didn't tell us they'd be closing early. I had one bowl of soup and a small plate of sushi. This is almost an hour before closing they're pulling stuff from the bar, even though they see us trying to eat. read more

This place used to be great years ago. No longer is that the case. The service, no bueno. The price, not great for what you get. The food itself was subpar, at best. Super disappointing. The decor has not changed and looks worn out and outdated. Will not return. read more

Koywan Hibachi Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Altamonte Springs, Florida

I've come to this place for years through all the name changes. This current experience was fabulous. All the food was fresh and the employees were constantly replenishing the trays. The sushi was so delicious and I loved the assortment. My friend (who has never had sushi) was thankful of the employees directing her toward the cooked ones. The restaurant was clean. Our server was attentive. It's around $12 for lunch and they honor many discounts. I will definitely return. read more

$19.99 for Sunday Dinner- It was okay.. prob the worst sushi though from a buffet that I've had, super fishy. Probably won't go back.

Walked in and asked if there were a lot of options for vegetarians. Yes she said, lots of sushi and the hibachi. Two different sushi rolls and the steak and chicken juice oozing into my vegetables. Everything else was cold. For $20, it was very disappointing. read more

The service was SO good!!! Such a beautiful lay out for a buffet! The koi fish pond was beautiful and my son said there was one fish that was insanely huge. The hibachi was TOO GOOD! They even put it onto an even bigger dish that was perfect ! Made it feel like it was a 5 start restaurant and an absolute experience really. My son said out of 5 stars they get 1 million!! read more

I see a lot of bad reviews on here but trust me when I say that this place is SOOO good if I could I would come here everyday, I love love love it. Maybe people that have gone to like very fancy and expensive sushi places won't agree with me but it really is so good. I recommend getting the teriyaki chicken and the fried sushi's (I believe that's what they're called) . The service is also good, but not wow, it's just average but at they do treat you nicely. Lastly, the ambiance is nice, they have a koi fish pond near the entrance and it's very pretty they also have some decoration on some parts of the ceiling (I don't know what they're called and I don't wanna call them the wrong name) the lighting is also pretty soft, I suppose you could call it dim but it not super dark either. Overall this place is very nice in my opinion, I very much recommend going!! read more

Arrived at 8pm last night. They close at 8;45. As soon as you arrive they tell you there's no more fresh food and what's left is all you can have. And you have to prepay and they charge gratuity. Paid $48 for 2 ppl for the leftovers of the buffet. I understand not wanting food waste but that was so disappointing. We used to love this place. It's gone so downhill. It was terrible. The food was meh. read more

The food is very good and the place itself is very clean, and the drink specials are also favorable. The only things that I would complain about is the fact that there's only one polite hostess the rest are rude, and the servers are very rude. I asked my server to grab a cup of hot water for me, and she complained that I already had a hot cup of water to clean my fork, but when I asked for another one and explained it, she walked away while I was talking. they don't introduce themselves. They're not polite. They just need to do better. A simple hello is not hard. And a thank you for coming from the hostess isn't either. read more

My family has been traveling 45 minutes just to eat at this Asian buffet for years! It's the best spot in Orlando thanks to the variety of foods. I always recommend making a hibachi plate right away! There are noodles, meats(shrimp,chicken,beef), veggies, and all to make your perfect hibachi plate. You can even choose what sauce they use and if you'd like to add fresh garlic or hot sauce to the cooking. While the chef is grilling your food, you can go make a plate of hot food or grab a sushi plate. The sushi bar hands down has the best sushi buffet. The chefs are constantly refilling the rolls on the buffet so it never runs out. You can also add eel sauce or spicy Mayo on the rolls yourself. As for hot food, they had maybe 4-5 soup options. We opted for the hot and sour soup which was so delish! They also had an area with American food and fried foods like fries and crab Rangoon's. They also had dim sum along with Asian dishes like green beans. There are just so many options I can't even name them all. This buffet never disappoints. If you're at wekieva springs or just craving a good Asian buffet, make the drive and come out here! read more

Koywan Hibachi Buffet - Outdoor exterior - Buffets Near Me - Altamonte Springs, Florida

Prices are good and there is great variety. Sushi and sashimi are the best on the menu - all you can eat! Otherwise, all was just So-so. Most items were not hot. Chicken and meats were overcooked and tough. Service is good, although everything is self-serve. Most disappointing was cleanliness of floors and tables. Glad we brought our own cleaning wipes! read more

In Spanish you say "calladito se ve uno mejor"... or in English "you look better with your mouth shut"... The only reason this place gets two stars is because of the selection of sushi. You want sushi, come here. They have a decent selection... check out my plate. Now, as for the "hot" selections... well, they were cold and looked like they had been sitting out for quite some time. You do have a lot to choose from, but my favorite items like ribs and wings and Mei Fun were cold and old. My wife had the Hibachi grill. She told me her noodles tasted burnt like the grill had not been cleaned. She did not even finish her plate. My wife and I have been to different Asian buffets and this one needs help... keep the food hot and fresh no matter what time it is. We got here at 8:15pm-ish... maybe if we had come earlier????? Again, come to this place for the SUSHI... I liked it, but as for other Asian fare... try your luck maybe at the lunch price. read more

Mediocre food. Terrible service. Hibachi area looks abandoned and employees prefer to browse their phones than acknowledge paying customers. There are much better places serving better, more affordable food nearby. I provided feedback to the employees up front and was barely acknowledged and then all 3 immediately went back to scrolling and sharing stuff with each other on their smartphones. read more

Ambiance is quiet, food is fresh daily, sushi is very good. Service staff are helpful and fast. the price is reasonable ! Enjoy! read more

It was ok, it was really dirty everywhere which must mean they do not clean the booths often. The people restocking the buffet were slow and usually had to wait. Which was annoying since you have a 2 hour max to eat. It just seemed like the people working didn't care and the food tasted like that. Oh the one good thing was the coconut Mayo Shrimp, I suggest making a version with the fried chicken, kinda like the orange chicken read more

I go here quite often to eat in and take out. The food is really great and the prices are reasonable. The coconut shrimp is THE BEST. I go specifically for it and loveee the sauce ! They have a decent variety of foods tho and at least 10 different sushi options. They should start offering hot sauce btw. read more

Never disappointed here as the food is consistently hot and refreshed and we like the selection of Chinese hot foods and sushi. They have beef choices at dinner and lots of seafood like large shrimp and crab. Sushi chefs are always present making fresh rolls and sashimi. On Fathers Day they included delicious snow crab legs at the buffet which we really appreciated. Would like to see new dessert options like almond cookies but like the chocolate cupcakes and apple pie. We've been to other Chinese buffets but prefer Koywan. read more

I've been coming here since it was called Krazy Buffet. I'm sure this has switched management a few times throughout the years. I remember visiting and the place would be well-kept...other times.. the restaurant would just smell wet and moldy (gross, I know). My last visit was just an "okay" experience. The place is looking reeeeallly rundown. They need new tables and chairs. The chair cushions were all beat up and torn. The food was just so-so. Not terrible, just not that great. I ordered a hot tea and what was brought out to me was a teapot with water that was just above luke warm. What's up with that? My kids are easy to please so they enjoyed every aspect of their dining experience. They typically enjoy the lo mein and the over abudance of crawfish. For me, the best part is always the donuts covered in tooth decaying sugar. read more

I ate there again yesterday. I had given this place several tries. Yesterday, limited dishes. It wasn't that fresh. The sushi was dry. If you're going to have a buffet, you should be checking the food, have more variation, and go by the tables. I'm sorry, but this was not good and I don't think I will be back for $20 per plate. read more
