The buffet is consistently well-stocked, with food being replenished promptly and kept fresh. The sushi bar offers a great variety of options, which is always a plus. One of my favorite parts of the meal is dessert. Pistachio ice cream is my all-time favorite flavor, and I'm always excited to see it as one of the three flavors offered. The lunch buffet is reasonably priced, the food is tasty, and the overall experience keeps us coming back. Definitely a reliable spot for a satisfying lunch!

You can get some hibachi which is on the back end behind the buffets. It didn't happen to us but there are signs warning you to be sure not to waste too much food or you will get charged for it. I can totally agree with that rule as I feel like wasting food on this earth should be a sin! Food was alright, not too fancy, but plenty of options. Hibachi have been my fave. I've been here twice already and will return when I'm very hungry.

We came here with a large party after a graduation. There was a decent variety of food, but some…read morewas definitely subpar. I'd definitely avoid the tempura as it didn't have the right coating and really didn't work with the broccoli. The best item was definitely the steak in my opinion. The seasoning was delicious and it was cooked to perfection. The short ribs weren't bad either. The coconut shrimp was tasty as well, but I've definitely had better. The sushi rolls was alright and there was a wide selection, but some of the sashimi didn't taste the freshest. They had a decent amount of salads around the corner, but I didn't take part in any. Another great thing was the dessert bar. I really love almond cookies, so I was elated to see them there. Their orange slices were perfectly sweet. Some of their cakes weren't had either. I also love when buffets have a good selection of ice creams, so it was nice to see they had several flavors. I got pistachio, which was just okay in flavor, but nice that there were bits of pistachio in it. I also got green tea which was a little disappointing, but there was a tinge of tea flavor. I think I got a chocolate one as well, which was tasty. The bathrooms were nice and clean. The staff was friendly and came by frequently to top off our drinks.

I also checked yelp and it seemed like the reviews were promising. The place is very clean and there is a lot of variety. There were non-sushi options such as hot food(noodles, stir fries, and fried food, along with sushi. There was also a separate dessert and fruit section. For the price it was worthwhile. The sushi didn't appear frozen and was quite tasty. I noticed there weren't any sashimi pieces just all either rolls or Nigiri. The service seemed prompt. We were quite surprised and thought it to be a good value. I would definitely double check the website in case prices change overtime.

During our family trip down to Hollywood, we stopped at Hong's BBQ for lunch on the last day of our…read moremini-cation. Located off Stirling Road (accessible from both directions), Hong's BBQ sits amongst the various shops that make up the Stirling Place Plaza. If you're here based off your search for food around the Seminole Hard Rock Casino and Hotel Hollywood, you've got the same idea as us and this review is for you; Hong's is essentially "around the corner" from the casino and a great option if you want to venture off the resort for some great food. Recommended by a source for reliable eats, we decided to give Hong's BBQ a go before our trip back to Tampa. We found that Hong's BBQ has some great authentic Canto-style Chinese cuisine. Not big by any means (you can't necessarily host a large banquet style gathering here), there is definitely ample seating - mainly suited for parties of 4. We came around 1pm on a Sunday and had no issues being seated - although the restaurant maintained a steady flow of customers in and out of the restaurant. There are a few larger round tables scatter throughout with the typical lazy-susan setup in the center that may accommodate larger parties of 6-8. If you're not interested in dining-in, there is definitely a "butcher's" station/display that is set up toward the back of the dining section. The setup within the restaurant definitely brought back nostalgic memories of Chinatown restaurants and their racks of char-siu, roast duck, pig, and soy chicken hanging under the heating lamps. From here, you can order cuts of the aforementioned meats by weight without the "extras." The menu offered a great variety of Canto-style cuisine; I would argue that it's hard to go wrong with a choice based on their selections they have available. We ordered two noodle soups (roast duck and char siu), along with an order of the beef chow fun, which were all outstanding. Beginning with the noodle soups, you have 3 different noodle options; I opted for the flat rice noodles which I instantly craved upon identifying it as a choice. The noodles were cooked to al-dente perfection that had a good amount of "bounce" while easy to chew. The broth was also on a whole other level that warrants praise in itself. The beef chow fun is also a must - yes, I recognize that this may be considered a "basic" choice, but Hong's BBQ makes this the right way. The service wasn't poor - let's just say that it falls in line with the coveted 3-star Asian restaurant rating (If you know, you know). The servers knew how and when to deliver. All in all, Hong's BBQ is a great place to dine with your family. I would recommend this to anyone in or travelling to this area.

Heard about this place and wanted to try it's BBQ and roasted meats…read more We stopped by on a Thursday evening around 5. The eatery seats about 40 and is clean and simply decorated. It was empty. But it slowly got more diners, with about 5 tables filled before we left. Service was fine but the waitress who took our order barely spoke English and it was difficult getting answers about items on the menu. Nevertheless, we ordered pan-fried dumplings, the three meat combo plate with roast duck, BBQ roast pork, and crispy pork. We also got a seafood platter with salt and pepper shrimp, squid, and scallops. The latter didn't have much taste. We couldn't even taste any salt and pepper. The dish came on a bed of shredded raw cabbage. There was no rice. When I asked, the server (a different one from the woman who took our order) brought us a small bowl. They had forgotten to put the rice on the plate. (The dish is advertised as being served on a bed of rice.) The meat platter was decent. Although the duck skin needed to be crispier, the pork skin was very crispy. The BBQ roast pork was tasty, boasting a nice char siu flavor. The few strands of Chinese broccoli that was served with the dish was cold, as if it was added from the refrigerator. We enjoyed the pan-fried dumplings. They seemed to be homemade. One appetizer, two entrees, tax, and tip was $66.

A pretty nice Japanese buffet right in the center of Pembroke Pines. This is my go-to location…read morebecause it is constantly strong with everything that I enjoy. The location is very easy to find and has a nice amount of parking so I never need to hunt for one and jump at it. The service is always amazing and my table is never covered by more than one or two used plates from when my husband and I go to the buffet to grab more food. The drinks are always filled and they have a nice assortment of bar drinks as well. The lychee martini was good but not my favorite but the happy hour price made it better lol! The food is pretty good and there is a nice variety from sushi, seafood and hibachi! The sushi is always fresh and they have a huge variety of it so I never get bored getting the same two or three roll pieces when I am here!

The buffet is well laid out with separate sections for hot foods, seafood, sushi, desserts, and ice cream, so it's easy to navigate. The seafood selection included lobster, and the sushi bar offered a large variety with plenty of options to choose from. The staff was efficient, and the food was replenished quickly, so nothing sat empty for long. Everything was well organized and made for an enjoyable dining experience. If you're looking for a buffet with a wide selection and attentive service, Minato is definitely worth a visit.

The waitress was on her phone the whole time but when we got her attention, she was efficient. Our seafood pancake was delicious. I loved how it came on a cast iron plate so it stayed hot and crispy. The middle of the pancake could've cooked a little more, the flour and the seafood were both a bit squishy. The banchan were great, the spicy radish and kimchi were my favorite. My husband got the spicy squid and added pork belly for +$10 and he loved it. It wasn't super spicy so I could still eat it. More sweet spicy than fire. My Galbi Tang was rich and full of umami. The ribs were a little overcooked and hard to get off the bones. The flavor was good though. There was plenty of glass noodles, thin radish slices, egg and big pieces of scallions in the broth. Will be back for more.

My go to local spot when I'm craving authentic Korean BBQ and food…read more My favorite is the seafood pancake, well all the pancakes are good. I also like the spicy rice cakes with fish cakes (Dduckbokki) The combination with the grilled meats+ soup or noodle options are a great choice when you want variety. They also have great Banchan as well which are little side dishes that comes with the meal. I enjoy dining in because they always put on a cooking show and it feels like I'm at home. The service is great but may take a bit longer when they are busy, so be patient with the staff because they are nice people.

Accompanied some friends for a first time visit here based on the pictures as the food looked good…read more There was no wait and service was prompt and friendly even though the restaurant was almost filled to capacity. The barometer for us indicating that this might be a legit decent Korean restaurant was the amount of Asian diners in the restaurant and there were an overwhelming majority of them at the time we went in. So we knew it was going to be a good meal. We got our drink orders in and for entrees went with the Army Stew (Budae Jigae), bulgogi, and the Seafood tofu soup. The army stew was considered 2 portions- it was huge but my friend was able to finish it himself. He said it was delicious and lived up to his expectations after having had the army stew in Seoul and have been looking for a place that offered back home. Though not quite as good as in Seoul but very decent for SoFlo. Next up was the seafood tofu soup. The flavor was on point- soft tofu that melts in your mouth along with clams, squid, shrimp and an egg topper. I will say, they were rather skimpy on the shrimp (only 1 in the pot) and a couple clams and squid but it was delicious nonetheless. The bulgogi was seasoned well and they included a number of banchan which all tasted fresh. I asked for lettuce to wrap my bulgogi with as that's common in South Korea but here it is a $4 upcharge for lettuce. The food did hit the spot so we were all satisfied with the quality of the food and will likely return.

We got seated quickly and immediately were asked if we wanted soup or hibachi. However, the waitress was not very friendly. I had to ask her for water more than once and she seemed bothered whenever I did. This is a great place for families to enjoy themselves. The ambiance is there with guests talking and the tvs were on. During this visit it felt warm inside. Even the waitress was making hand gestures fanning herself. Usually I'm impressed with how well the food tastes and its freshness, but this time the sushi rolls were falling apart and the quality of the food was missing. I will say that the ice cream is always good. I love that it comes from San Bernardo- a local family owned ice cram shop.
