    Very good buffet with a huge variety of items to choose from. I enjoy sushi so I was happy to see so many sushi selections. Service was great because my cup was never empty. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor is beautiful with many chandeliers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Its quite pricey for dinner but it was worth it.

    Lins is an absolutely huge and overwhelming buffet of Asian fare, salads, desserts, with everything from sushi to brisket, soups and seafood. It is replenished regularly and it did not seem to get bottlenecked with patrons trying to fill their plates. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The environs are large, plenty of seating, lots of attentive servers whisking away empty plates, and providing drink refills.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I can't really say that anything could be different or improved. The buffet was so extensive that if you can't find a plate full of offerings to please your pallet then I have no suggestions for you. If you love a good buffet then this is worth a visit or two!

    Very nice buffet. Food is hot and fresh (unless it was supposed to be cold). Very large selection. Service was OK, but it's a buffet. Lower those expectations! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lovely place inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean, neat, cool from the outside heat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A nice stop along the road for certain!

    They have a good variety of food with a good taste, Asian theme but they also have some sausage and BBQ, and even pizza, the service is very friendly and fast, [[HIGHLIGHT]]it is a good buffet with a family friendly ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    The buffet bar was great only downfall was after getting your food, by time you get back to your table, the food is cold - who likes to eat cold food! Other than that point-out, everything else was great. Recommendation: I would dine at Lin's Buffet again.

    When I first moved to San Antonio, I saw this buffet spot, but at a different location. I've been wanting to try it out, but was skeptical on if I'd enjoy it or not. When they ended up opening THIS location, I thought "Oh it must be good since they're opening up a new location!" So I figured it was time to give it a shot. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I walked inside and the place is pretty big! Tons of seating options.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They had me sold when they asked if I'd like a booth or a table lol. Most places don't like to give you a booth if you're by yourself.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Once I sat down, I was immediately greeted by my server who asked what I'd like to drink. Overall, she did a really good job, but have you ever had a server that came to the table too much? I didn't like that, but I know she was just trying to make sure everything was okay. The food was what I'd expect from a buffet. I didn't enjoy it enough to want to make this a regular spot for me. I had two plates of food and didn't have an urge to try anything else. To be fair, I can have somewhat of a boojie palette at times, so maybe this was one of those days. I would say check them out for sure and be your own judge.

    I went in with high expectations since a friend had said great things about the restaurant, but found it lackluster and without any real standout dishes. Sushi was decent, shrimp was good/great, and the crab a touch salty. We did not try the ramen bar. The star of the night for us was the steak, it was nicely cooked. You pick out your own steak and put it on a plate for the chef to cook (browning is normal oxidation and it'll take about 5 minutes.) Their desert options were ok, with a standout ice cream scoop your own cart. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was extremely clean, have recently been opened.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was average and they have you tip at the counter before you are seated. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There were lots of tables open on a Thursday night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall an average Chinese buffet, with a hefty proportion is seafood and sushi dishes.

    Great buffet, a lot of choices. It just little bit expensive on the weekends. But it's worth it if you like seafood.

    Came here on a Friday night for a double date. Definitely make a reservation because this place was…read morepacked and poppin. We didn't realize this place was a cousin of Shiro and owned by the same guy until we saw some similarities in their style, layout and menu but nevertheless, the food was still absolutely amazing. Even though the ambiance had some similarities, I'm glad their food options were distinguished because otherwise could have just gone downtown. You cannot go wrong with any of their food options. Highly recommend doing family style so you can get a taste of everything and all the different flavors. We started with the gyoza and calamari which were to die for and were not greasy at all. Pork ssam, wagyu, miso pasta and octopus all brought a little bit of their own element and flare to your palate that it's hard to describe unless you try it. Wagyu was just melt in your mouth delicious. Pork ssam and octopus had their crunchy texture and umami flavors. The miso pasta added a light refreshing touch to balance everything out but don't let it fool ya, the noodles will expand in your stomach. We topped it off with their yuzu cake. Our only disappointment was they were out of their other desserts but nevertheless everyone of us left full and happy. Would come here again.

    When I first read about Yozora, I honestly thought it sounded a bit pretentious. Fascinating, but…read morepretentious. Because the idea of music being an actual integral part of the dining experience--not just some kind of background noise--felt a little precious for my taste. I'm glad to admit I was wrong. So let's start with the ambiance and the vibe of Yozora. It's in a fairly non-descript kind of center; not bad but not specially memorable. But the space itself is open and has an air of restrained sophistication. And then there's that hi-fi set up. The music at Yozora really is part of the experience, but it's not intrusive in the way that you'd think. Most of what my dining companion and I heard was 50s and 60s jazz, and it was perfect for the occasion. Sushi and Coltrane are a great mix, and even though we were not far from the hi-fi system, I could hear every word of our conversation, without the need for either of us to raise a voice. Somehow, it's like the music operates on a different frequency from regular table chatter. Suffice to say, the music enhanced the mood and really set a scene for Yozora's chefs to tell some stories. And that, they do really well. We started out with seasonal tempura and miso masu ceviche--ocean trout marinated in miso, soy, and lime juice--that was sublime. But funnily enough, the real star small plate was a truffle creamy miso soup that was earthy and slightly sweet at the same time and was silky in texture. From there, we ordered a series of crudo and battera, each unique in its own way. It was wonderful stuff, accompanied by a rice lager. The kitchen at Yozora is not shy about experimenting with non-traditional flavors and ingredients. Sometimes it works really well; sometimes, not as well, but it's never bad, and the servers actually ask for feedback for the kitchen, which is something I rarely see. Yozora honestly seems to be most concerned with creating a great dining experience, and it does that, from the chefs to the line cooks to the servers (who are helpful and attentive without hovering). The music, the mood, and the menu add up to a memorable experience.
