The atmosphere is not too much for my liking, the food is good and the hibachi grill is good too. For what it is, the sushi is actually fresh tasting and pleasing to the eye as well. read more

I went here for lunch, the food is good, you'll find someone from everywhere here, they have a sushi bar with a nice variety of sushi...seafood is also good! I like the buffet style restaurants because I can eat a large quantity of a variety of vegetables and of course I can always eat sushi! read more

I eat here for lunch every few months. The price has crept up a bit...as of 4/10/17 its about 8.50. It was great when it was 6.99. Still the waitresses are very nice...and sometimes down right funny...and they are very attentive. Most of them have been around for years so it must be a nice place to work. Theyve gotten better at refreshing the food quicker and I've never left the place hungry. Actually one of the reasons I dont go more often is I tend to over indulge. If you want to be funny...when you walk in yell out ICE.....and you will literally clear the place (if you know what i mean) read more

My husband and I decided to give this place a try after having several people tell us how good it is. Well neither of us were impressed. While some of the good was tasteless, other food was way over seasoned and most looked picked over. The only thing somewhat redeeming was the Hot & Sour Soup. To the management...you might want to take a look at your wobbly tables. Very annoying. read more

I've been here twice so far and I'm not really impressed. My nephew likes it, so I take him. They do have quite a variety, but I found the food to be so-so. The hibachi was okay but bland, some of the other staple dishes were not that well seasoned, and the sliver of steaks were ehhh. I have had better, and I do mean better! I don't believe the NY in front of Hibachi Buffet stands for New York. I've been to Buffets in New York and this one does not stand up to any in New York! The two things I did enjoy was a dessert cake, it had an espresso like flavor and the fresh cantaloupe was sweet! This is not a place I care to revisit or recommend. read more

Very so-so food on the buffet. Lots of variety but nothing special at all. The hibachi grill was the one thing I did like and almost would bring me back; but not quite. Not worth going out of your way to dine here. Expensive for a Chinese buffet as well. read more

Seriously, something for everyone. Always fresh and a place to definately come when you want that pleasantly stuffed feeling.

Never again. Not worth $11. I was looking for creative, tasty, fresh food. I walked away feeling ripped off. It was 5:00, dinner time. There is no excuse for the food not to be fresh. read more

NY Hibachi Buffet's best feature is the Hibachi Bar. The food is cooked to order and always delicious. The sushi bar is okay, but it has made my husband sick a few times. The food on the buffet is nothing more than your standard Asian themed American buffet, but is mostly served hot and with good flavoring. There have been several instances where I have encountered unsupervised kids placing their hands and fingers on the buffet with no regards to other patrons, which can be an appetite killer. Be careful before you eat here. Pricing is okay for a Hibachi Buffet, but for $30 for two people, there are better options in the area. read more

Horrible buffet. The hostess told us there was a student discount on our entrance. We got the bill without any discount. Granted, we could afford the full-price adult meals, but the owner gave us the lame excuse of "oh, her? She doesn't speak English well." And that's our fault how???? Food is mediocre, most of the beef and broccoli, chicken and broccoli, and green beans were out (poor food refills). Crawfish isn't seasoned properly. Sushi was decent for a buffet, and our waitress was friendly and attentive; but the cashier/owner's lame excuse really put us off. Don't come here unless you crave mediocre "Chinese food." Will definitely NOT be recommending or ever coming back. read more

Pros: food are fresh and good. Cons: -long wait time to be seated especially for large groups on busy days....aka...weekends. - entrance/exist is a clutter...clogged with people standing and sitting around waiting for table. -wall of shame...aka photos of people who ate and NO Pay...unprofessional. -waitress are slow to take dirty plates away...stacks on VARIOUS tables..no waitress in sight...ex..playing with each others hair, massaging each others, talking to each others..or filling up tables with salt, sugar etc... One waitress kept using her hand to wipe and rub her nose then go do rounds..nasty!! **When we went to pay...our group wanted to all chip in and help pay bill using cash, debit cards.... and the lady at desk was making a big issue..getting mad that "why we didn't tell the waitress we wanted separate checks!" ...As if she CAN'T do it and it was the end of the world!!.... We paid our bill ($160.00) along with the 10% gratuity fee which the waitress shouldn't of even received bc of poor service too. read more

I usually visit with my family and usually have had great service. This time, I went with friends and they counted our toddlers as part of the table to add on the automatic gratuity. Normally I will tip 20-30%, this time the service was horrible. Halfway thru the dinner, the bill was brought and never saw the waitress again. 20 minutes with no plates cleaned off and empty drinks. It's a buffet, they have 2 jobs. Keep the table clean and refill drinks. I shouldn't be forced to pay $8 for not being served. The manager said she would have to check the cameras to see if she serviced us. I agreed to wait and then she says pay or I'll call the cops. So, I was forced to pay. Which I never denied to pay for the drink and the dinner, I just don't agree to pay 8 dollars for service I didn't get. read more

Lots of food and tasted wonderful. Our waitress though came by with the check when we were on our first plate, seemed like she was rushing us out. The place was very crowded though it was a Friday night. read more

The food was great! The buffet was constantly being refilled with fresh food, and the service was good. The attendants were very attentive when it came to needing to clear the table or refill drinks, they were on their game! The Teriyaki Steak they have on the buffet is beyond delicious, it melts in your mouth, definitely a place I would recommend and will definitely be coming back loyally! Great food! read more

I was looking for a buffet style Asian joint and this seems like the only game around. I was skeptical on the reviews, but I found this to be very good! My waitress was super nice, always on top of things. HUGE buffet of food. I started with the hibachi which was very tasty! They had 4 buffets full of hot foods, 2 of cold, plus a desert bar. Theres sushi which I think is extra. The food all tasted very good. Its a HUGE place, so plenty of seating. It was $12.50 for the weekend dinner buffet. Its around $8 for lunch and $10 weekday nights. The only "odd" thing was the left side of the place had a semi strong disinfectant smell. I'd gladly eat here again. read more

Huge Buffet! Modern Decor! Good Choices ! this place is the perfect place to go to when your really hungry

Our family buffet spot, love the hibachi steak and you can't beat those Chinese donuts!!!

Among the better buffets in the area. Large selection and service is decent. It's hard to give a serious review for a buffet, but this is the best I've got for you my friends. read more

It had been a few years since I've been and wanted to try it out again. We arrived about 7:30pm on a Sunday so the dining room was fairly empty. The tables were clean and the floors were clear of dropped food and trash. Our server was nice and attentive, she kept our drinks refreshed without us having to ask for more. Now the food could have been better but it could also have been a lot worse. Some things tasted great and some things not so much. My kids loved the pizza, mac n' cheese and the ice cream though. There was four of us eating, our two year old was free and our seven year old was $5.50 and it was $13.50 for an adult, so our bill was about $37 (we had 3 waters and 1 sweet tea to drink). To be honest it'll probably be a while before we choose to go back again only because there are other places to get better quality food. read more

This is the best buffet in the county. They serve everything and anything you can think of. The only downfall is that they stay really busy so you feel like you're fighting a mob while trying to fill your plates. read more

Great place to get a variety of food. Something for everyone including kids. Buffet style, also hibachi cooked while you watch, you pick the food. All included in one price, all you can eat. Please Tip for sushi bar, greatly appreciated. read more

Awesome food with a big selection. Best outside of charlotte by far. Great sushi and dessert as well. One of our favorite restaurants in Hickory. read more

HUGE variety of food and sushi with a hibachi grill. Food is good and staff is friendly but does get busy during meal rush hours so go either later in afternoon or early evening for quicker seating and less crowded dining area. I would recommend the sushi bar label their rolls for customers to identify what they want. The hot tea is a favorite of mine and would HIGHLY recommend it. read more

Made an account just to review this place. It was amazing! They had a huge sushi selection, the biggest I've ever seen. They had plenty of space at the bars so you were not bumping into anyone or feeling cramped at all. The staff was great and our wait wasn't to long at all. It was only me and my gf that went. Even so, it is a little pricey, It was $12.50 per person for the buffet with an additional $1.99 per drink. They also had a sign saying that parties with more than 10 would have a 10% gratuity fee automatically added. Even with the price, it was well worth it. read more

Love it that they have a wide variety. But one time I came and ate around 1-2 pm, I could tell that the food was stored from the night before and they had just heated it back up. The food was not fresh that day. read more

Well the food is ok,they had many different foods,but the service was really slow first when se were waiting to be seaten then she sat us and left and didn't come back like for 12 minutes and thats not the worst she didn't ask what se wanted to drink,she didn't smile and she gave us our check and left and sat down with some friend and counted ver tips un front of us.This was so rude read more

I ate here when the place first opened, around the first week of February- they offered free drinks for everyone the first 2 weeks. Let's just say I went back 3 times that week. This has to be one of the best Chinese/Hibachi grill I've ever been too. They have such a variety that blows my mind. A huge seating space. Great service. The price is what draws me in as well! I'm a huge sushi lover and they had a very wide variety to choose from, which was excellent. The grill is a nice added touch with no extra cost. Fabulous overall! Recommend EVERYONE! read more

**Be Aware*** We dine at NY Hibachi once in a while because the restaurant offers variety. Owner and some staffs are unprofessional, slow at clearing plates and etc but we still are regulars simply because there is no other chinese restaurant that offers variety in this area. I was disappointed, we found a 2-3 inch chain-like metal beads mixed with the seafood salad. We brought it to the staff's attention, she went and told the owner/manager. They seem angry and came over took our plate of food away rudely. WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR DISCOUNT! We just want to make sure there is not anymore of those metal beads in the salad. To be honest this will probably be our last time eating out at this restaurant simply because they do not care for their customer's well-being. read more

Too pricey, if the food tasted decent it would be worth it. They have a good variety of food but nothing I'm crazy about. I usually grab the sushi and seaweed then head for the dishes gushed in oil. The shrimp and steaks are overcooked and tough. Had a few rude waitresses who had attitudes and did not refill drinks. read more

Local and have ate here several times. Food is the norm like any other Chinese buffet. The thing that bothers me is the extremely rude lady that rings up your bill at the register. She never smiles. Never speaks a word. Not even a acknowledgement or a thank you. I will go where my business is appreciated. read more

There is lots of variety and the buffet looks great, but the food tastes bland and all the same. Some is just plain bad. We won't be going back. read more

This buffet is huge and has a great variety. As a vegetarian I am often limited on Chinese-American buffets, but this place had plenty for me. We got there a little after 5PM on Friday and there was no wait, but by the time we left there was a line out the door. read more

Great variety of items to choose from. Large dinning room to accommodate everyone even during busy times. Best time to go to any buffet is during the busy hours. Friendly staff and good price. read more

If I could give negative 5 stars I would !!!!!!!!!!!The service was horrible! We were seated for 10 minutes before my son went to register to ask if someone was coming to get drink order . The girl that was the cashier came and took it and got our drinks . The waitress NEVER came to table to refill drinks again my son actually went to drink station and refilled our drinks himself. Meanwhile waitresses were at the two tables right next to us and tables behind and in front of ours. The food was bland minus the black pepper chicken that was actually good . THEN sat the end of meal our waitress makes an appearance to give us the check and tell us to take our time . Then when we complain at register they charged us full price and the manager said he was sorry for bad service . I mean I don't mind paying for the food we ate mind you it was one plate each because the food was terrible and the service was worse but at least give a small discount for the bad service and having to get our own drinks. NEVER WILL WE GO THERE AGAIN ! read more

The BEST Chinese buffet around! They have a large variety of food, something for everyone. They also have the grill where you can choose the meat and veggies. The sushi bar is the best I've ever eaten! The wait staff is usually very good... we've only had one bad experience and I believe it was because the waitress was either new or overwhelmed with the number of tables she had (either way, all she had to do was refill our drinks.) They have a good variety on their salad bar and dessert bar. I would highly recommend! read more

Not bad, pretty clean and the hibachi grill is a nice option. Only complaints- some food was cold and sushi was warm. Typical Chinese mega buffet fare, but good for a quick meal. read more

I really like this place, the price is right and the food is always fresh and tasty. It has a huge buffet with a wide assortment of food. Sometimes I even bypass the Chinese food and load up on fish and shrimp. Plus it has the essential soft serve ice cream machine to top off the meal. You will not leave hungry! read more

I ate at this restaurant tonight. We were a group of 4 along with my 6 month old daughter. I am a pretty regular customer. The food is usually pretty decent but tonight changed my whole perspective. Customer service means everything to me when I go out to eat. I have worked in the restaurant industry as a server for a while and it's very important to have good service when dining out. It makes or breaks your evening. Me and my boyfriend ate the buffet as usual, but our friends ordered off the menu. 30 minutes passed by and they still didn't have their food so I said something to the waitress and she did Nothing. So after about 10 more minutes passed by, I went and spoke to the person in charge. They went back to the kitchen to see what the issue was. Keep in mind: THEY WERE NOT BUSY. One of their meals finally came out and was cold.. while the other plate of food never showed up. Our waitress came to the table and was trying to figure out what we wanted to do. My friend was to the point where she didn't even want her food anymore. The waitress acted like Nothing was wrong and what was going on wasn't a big deal. After being patient for almost an hour, we let her know how unacceptable her service was. By the way, we sat there with empty drinks for most of the visit. She then proceeded to tell us we were rude and said "fuck you guys " and stormed away. She should NOT be working in a customer service environment. She talked to me and my friends in the most disrespectful way, and in front of my daughter. It got to the point where I asked to speak to the manager on the Phone (because she wasn't there ) I really hope that little immature girl loses her job over this and maybe finds one a little more suiting to her personality. Like perhaps, scrubbing toilets. I Will NOT BE RETURNING. and I will tell absolutely every person I know not to go to this unprofessional establishment. I believe I got my point across. PATHETIC. read more

Yesterday, Sunday, January 11, 2015, my son and I ate lunch at your Hickory restaurant. I am a frequent diner there and occasionally eat lunch there during the week. As such, I was able to fill a "Lunch Buffet" card with 9 restaurant stamps on it, thus giving me one free lunch meal as a frequent diner. When I attempted to use the card yesterday when paying for our meal, I was told by the lady behind the counter that the card cannot be used on Sundays. Nowhere on the card did it say that the "Lunch Buffet" card had to be used Monday thru Saturday and the lady did not show me any such signage in the restaurant either. When I spoke to the manager on site, he essentially said the same thing to me and really did not seem to care about the fact that the card indicated the 10th lunch is free without any conditions. As far as I am concerned, I am owed 1 free lunch at that restaurant. For them to tell patrons when they are paying for their meal that the "Lunch Buffet" card is not honored on Sunday is an absolute ploy and sham on customers. That is a shame since I have been dining at that site for several years and have always liked it. read more

food is okay. the waitresses are nice but the people who check you out and the owners are not. snobby and yank your ticket out of your hand and take your money without saying a word barely acknowledging your exsitence. this latest treatment was the last resort. I will not be back. read more
