Perhaps I like this place better than I might, because I'm just not that conversant with the all-you-can-eat culture that pervades much of this country (but not where I live, so much.) I've been to Mikata twice now, and was surprised to enjoy it both times. Perhaps it's partly the novelty factor, but I actually enjoyed most of the food. Is it fine dining? Certainly not. Is it Chinese, or Japanese? No, not really. But it serves up an assortment of foods that, if generally not very healthy, are tasty, freshly made, and endlessly plentiful. It's busy enough that trays are constantly coming out of the kitchen, and the sushi guy is always busy making new rolls. And their stuffed mushrooms are delicious. When it comes right down to it, if you're really hungry, $10.99 to stuff your face is not a bad deal. read more

Excellent selection of food and good service. For those fearful due to COVID, there are ample hand sanitizers throughout, workers were wiping down the surfaces regularly, and in my opinion proper measures are being taken. Still concerned - stay home! read more

Tony was a great waiter. He worked hard the entire time. He continued to scan his customer area and seemed to anticipate when we needed plates or plate removal. Always asked if we needed something. I would hike anyone like him working for me. You are lucky to have him. read more

Food was good. Service was also good. Ambiance could be better.would go back. So much food to choose from.

Ate at Mikita buffet Wednesday food was good until I saw a bug in my lomain, yes a bug (I looked at it out of the plate to make sure!! Also the icecream people scoop the icecream out and their wrists touch the icecream Disgusting!!!!! Board of Health will be notified! read more

This buffet is overrated. The quality of the food is very low . Everything tasted like it was left out for a couple of hours .As of matter of fact .Everything looked like its been left out for hours .The Sushi tasted sour .other foods looked very greasy .Would not come here again.!!! read more

Called today and they don't do the crab legs anymore. Still love the restaurant though.

This is the typical, all you can eat, buffet style Asian cuisine. Most often the food served at these buffets is a large variety and mediocre. At this place it seems that there's just something off in the preparation. In other words, the pizza or sesame seed chicken looks correct and has mostly the correct taste, but it just isn't quite on the mark. This buffet is no different. The taste was ok and the food was edible but you left not feeling satisfied. The salad bar was especially poor. Your options were iceberg lettuce and black olives. If you wanted a few more items such as mushrooms you could walk over to the grill area. I did not try any foods from the grill nor any sushi. Most foods were over cooked or dried out from being left out so long. Desserts were offered. The best option wad the ice cream although there were pastries, Apple pie?, and fruit. For $13.95 I think there are better choices out there. The price is significantly more if you enjoy the crab legs. If you want a big variety of food or have a bottomless pit for a stomach this might be for you. read more

I gave it 5 stars for the overall quality and variety of food. You can't beat the price of $13 for dinner, add in drinks, tip & tax....still inexpensive... My meal was enjoyable, a little full by choice. read more

This is a great buffet. Lots of variety and new dishes. Tasty and great price I would pay more for takeout plates if I could get sushi read more

Masks required. I think that's actually gross when people touch their unwashed masks and then the ice cream scoop. But ok. I walked out with my family because they were actually making money on masks sold at the front door to patronize their food establishment. No thanks. read more

After reading the reviews I had my hopes WAY up there. They have everything you can thing of, sushi, fried foods, the typical Chinese food, and oysters. We went specifically to check out the sushi and oysters. We went around 3 and the price was fine 19.99, we sat at our table and our server sat down 5 plates for us. Iv never been to a buffet where they give you plates at your table but with covid an such I'm ok with that. Masks are required as expected. The fist thing we did was fill up our plates with sushi, the rice was a little dried out and tough. We thought maybe it would be fresh as it's so busy but unfortunately it was not. The rest of the buffet was fine, nothing was hot or tasted fresh it was all just... warm, room temp and if it was fried then it was soggy. I'd go back for the oysters and maybe right when they open in hopes that things would be better. read more

Went to Mikata today after not eating here for over a year and a half. Should have stayed away and that's what I will do from now on. They have signs everywhere stating masks are required. I was good with that especially as this is a buffet situation. Unfortunately there were several people up at the buffet tables with no masks!! Not one staff member said anything to these people. When I spoke to the cashier on the way out he insisted that they require that masks be worn at all times except when seated and eating at your table. This is not what I saw happening at all. Needless to say I will not go back there again. There is a reason for rules at a buffet and these people don't enforce any of them. I am so done with this place. Stay away is what I recommend!!! read more

Food was good until I went to bathroom n seen how disgusting it was I lost my appetite real fast made me thing of the bathroom was the gross what did the back look like read more

Wonderful buffet. Incredible selection. Delicious sushi. Excellent food. I love oysters on the half shell and they have them on ice on the buffet. They also have giant mussels, cooked on the half shell. The baked salmon is sometimes a little over cooked for my taste, but the baked Swai or Bassa is a yummy whitefish that just melts in your mouth. For dessert be sure to try the green tea ice cream. Delicate taste that is creamy and delicious. read more

Place was dirty dark and dingy! Food was cold and hard like it's been sitting too long. Food trays were empty and had to wait for more food. The ceiling had mold around the vents and some ceilings tiles missing. Bathrooms were very dirty and toilet paper on the floors with tile missing on the floors. All the seats were torn and the tables not sanitized! The staff was nice but we had to ask for napkins and other items. read more

WOULDNT recommend eating here. Came for lunch and a giant cockroach walked past my table. Advised the waiter he smashed it with his foot and left the roach there with guts on the floor. Me and other customers were disgusted. I didn't touch another thing on my plate. I was ready to leave immediately. The manager was very professional and kind, she apologized, but buss boys need more training! read more

This is our favorite restaurant! Very busy, so the food is always fresh! We go there for lunch at least once a week... sometimes twice!! Getting ready to go there.. as I type!! read more

Good cheap food. Hibachi is a 5. $8 for lunch big selection. Sushi is not bad for the price. Whatever you do please don't seat yourself. The lady will find you and yell at you in Chinglish. Workers are all miserable. I get the feeling that they're working against their will. I over eat there about 6 times a year. I'd stay away from the oysters and other raw items. read more

If I could rate a 0 I would. I found a FLEA in my corn and when I notified the waitress she picked up my corn (that i had already bitten into) with her hands and stuck her fingers all over and argued with us that it was not a bug and the manager did not do anything to resolve the issue, we were still expected to pay in full. If you look at the pictures you can clearly see the legs on it and my question is, how does a FLEA get into FOOD? I understand roaches, flies, etc but a FLEA? read more

Came for dinner and the plates they gave us were not clean. They had sauce on them. Quite disgusting.

Best buffet by far. No competition. Shrimp-seafood-hibachi-ice cream-chicken-barbecue food-salads-desserts-fruit etc. All top notch. Not to mention reasonably priced. If closer I would go every day. Even my young granddaughters love this place. Come hungry. read more

I'm going to say upfront here--I have a love/hate relationship with buffets. I love that you have the opportunity to sample all these different kinds of food with cost not being an issue. On the other hand, the food is not usually that well-made, you have to really keep your portions in mind, and there are usually an inordinate amount of babies seated around you. Mikata is a pretty typical buffet in those ways, and there's nothing really interesting enough to make me want to return. There was just enough of everything for me not to ask for my money back, but the food itself was pretty forgettable. read more

My friend took me here to have a buffet style diner for around ten bucks. While I was serving myself from the buffet I put a cluster of snow crab legs on my plate( you know the kind you buy frozen from Sams club) anyway they charged me ten dollars more for the crab leg. When I said I didn't realize it was more for crab legs the management got very nasty and raised his voice and said: to bad you ate crab leg now you pay :$24.99 !!!!!! The food was ok but the manager ...., please I was going to bring my family back Saturday but for one crab leg, I will never go there again!! P S if you go there remember if you eat crab leg you pay extra! read more

Ive been there 4 times. I am a fan Chinese buffets but I am very critical of the freshness and temperature of buffet food. i watch staff closely to see how the keep the line clean and stocked. I like their selections, and the food is decent. I have had much much worse here in Florida. Ive stopped in for lunch every time and have not been disappointed , not once. If you like Chinese buffets, this place is the best Ive been to from West Palm Beach fl to Jensen Beach Fl...And Ive been to a few too! Oh and I don't think its really Chinese..its a mix at best. cant wait to go again! read more

Supposedly hot food was room temperature. Fried chicken wings were dried out, I was not able to bite into them. Vegetable omelet also was only room temperature and tasted of rancid grease. White fish; room temperature and it tasted bad. The only thing I was able to eat was the fried rice, which also was room temperature. My husband was only able to eat cantaloupe and orange wedges.Then, I was ill after we got home. Will NEVER go back there! The health department needs to check this place out! What a shame! To make things worse, kids were running around the buffet tables, and yelling, and nobody on staff intervenes at all, or seems to care that the kids could run into people and knock them over. read more

This is the best Chinese Buffet in st Lucie Country period. The selection is awesome and a variety of american food is also available. Just visit the pics in Yelp. I haven't tried the Crab legs; a bit pricey for me, but for the price the rest of the buffet it's a bargain. read more

Very nice selection of food. Sushi, make your own hibachi, fruit, seafood at night, and good ice cream. I've been here many times and have been happy every time. My only complaint is they don't brew there tea, it's fountain tea. read more

Best buffet I've been to in quite sometime. Everything was hot and fresh. The sushi was good and had a nice selection, not just kani in every roll. Hot and sour soup was made well and the baked white fish and baked salmon were both very tasty. The peel and eat shrimp bar also had crawfish and they were packed nicely on ice but the ice was covered with plastic wrap so the raw bar was cold but didn't make it wet with melting ice. Everything had its place and was kept clean and neat. Staff was nice too. Left very happy and will return while staying in stuart. read more

Mikata buffet has a pretty large selection of choices. But quantity does not equal quality. I was pretty turned off by most of what I tried. Full disclosure: I've never been the biggest fan of Chinese buffets. But I can tell you that I've had better. The sushi in the back and the oysters on the side did not look fresh at all, so I avoided them. What I mean by that is that the oysters and the fish had a matte, colorless look to them - they lacked the saturated color and glossy sheen of a fresh piece of fish. I did enjoy their steak and peppers, and salt and pepper chicken. Everything else, even the green beans and broccoli au gratin, had a strange aftertaste. I love veggies...but I know that they aren't difficult to prepare. The green beans were just funky and that freaked me out. The service was friendly and attentive for a buffet. There were several waitresses on our side of the restaurant, constantly filling glasses and attending to patrons. But the food was forgettable, and I probably won't go back. read more

Food is fairly good but servers are not very friendly. Makes me Not want to go In there because of that. read more

Absolutely disgusting. I can feel the food poisoning already. Don't waste your money, time or appetite. The last time we ate here the experience was favorable, but tonight I am truly disgusted and annoyed that I had to pay money for the experience we had. The place is filthy to begin with, we should have walked out when the rude waitress set dirty plates down on the sticky table for us to bring to the buffet. I let that go. I should not have. We should have walked out right there but we gave it a shot. I went to the restroom before heading to the buffet line and it was absolutely filthy also. No paper products whatsoever and no working hand dryer. Gross. At the buffet many of the food items are totally uncovered and not behind a sneeze guard or anything and others are literally on top of other items. I figured I'd be safe having hibachi since it's prepared right there. Nope. The area is filthy, both sides of the counter, the raw meats and vegetables look like they've been there all day with some also uncovered and I witnessed one of the employees take his mask off, cough in his hands, and go right back to preparing food. The little bit of food we did have was cold and pretty gross. When I attempted to speak to the manager about the situation I was met with aggression and was told that I was just looking for a discount. Then he had three phone conversations while I was standing there. Again, I should have just walked out but I stayed and paid the bill as he's telling me he was going to call 911 if I walked out. Absolute disgrace. The health department really should inspect this place. read more

The food was good ,they had a large variety to choose from . The wait staff was efficient not overly friendly.most likely to come back but not a regular. Prices were good and the buffet was kept stocked ,we were here during the lunch time. read more

Mikata Buffet - Chinese Near Me - Jensen Beach, Florida

Good food Not the cleanest restaurant ( floor/utensils/etc) Sushi is scarce....especially the good rolls read more

Food is good for the price if you're dining in but not worth it if you're taking out since you can't take seafood or sushi and it costs the same as the buffet. Not worth it. Other than that, service was terrible, rude management and waitresses, i went to celebrate my birthday with six of my friends, some who came an hour away to celebrate with me, and the waitress was cleaning up my table AS I WAS EATING and took my plate while I was eating my dessert still. Ruined my birthday mood. read more
