    I would say this place has such a great variety. We waited a little while before anyone came to let us pay but there's so many food options. I felt like there fruits are fresh and such plenty of dessert options. Inside it's nice and clean and well lit which was my favorite part. The also have press on nails for sale and it's so cute

    I had to come back and check this place out when I had more time. I stopped in around 7pm on a Friday night. Considering that I live in Rogers Park and have to pass at least 4 other Chinese Buffet to get to Okini Buffet. I've read the previous reviews and I can say when I went all the bathroom issue has been resolved. At least in the men's room. I asked a nice lady "How was the ladies room?" After looking at me crazy she responded "Good." The hibachi line had about 3 people waiting, I didn't try it but what was coming off the hibachi looked good. I returned to my favorites, honey chicken, shrimp fried rice, lo mein noodles and the black pepper chicken. I also discovered the fried shrimp, crab stuff shrimp, sushi, chicken with mushrooms and broccoli. Everything I had was delicious. Too bad I don't have a second stomach. The atmosphere was chill that night I had a great on and off conversation with the couple at the next table. A variety of dishes, the awesome staff and a great value is why this is now my favorite Chinese buffet spots. One of my favorite tips I can offer is stir the food in the pan. The food on top will always be cooler than the food on the bottom. My biggest smallest complaint is I couldn't find any hot mustard and I still haven't learned how to do a perfect swirl for my ice cream.

    Sushi, pot stickers, chicken wings, orange chicken

    Place is new, the environment is clean and beautifully remodeled. The food was really good one of the best buffets with really quality food & I MEAN all food was authentic if its own (Orange chicken, sushi)! The service was friendly. Priced very affordable with the variety and quality and cleanliness they offer. 10/10 Will be back again. P.S they also have Mexican ceviche, and guac !!!!

    I will begin here, I have been waiting for a new spot to open where once was Old County. From the start, greeted immediately as soon we walked up. Very friendly staff, very spacious, clean location with plenty of space. The okino bunny is nice touch. The food started off slightly cold but it was a because something happened and they were planning on closing, but the food was hot after a little bit. Plenty to choice from the salad bar, soup and hot foods including the hibachi bar. Okini Buffet welcome to Belmont Craign and to Bricktown Square, see you soon.

    Loved it - again! We…read morewere here last night for dinner as a party of 5 and dinner was fabulous. As we no longer live in the Chicago area and we're staying downtown, we felt we should pop back over here for lunch today so glad we did. Our server, was quite pleasant and attentive. The support staff were efficient. My wife and I shared the following: - Lobster Mac and Cheese - Seafood Salad - Parkerhouse rolls and butter - Hot tea - Iced tea See you this summer Shaw's Crab House!

    (Kari's Rating 7/10)…read more TLDR: -Louder atmosphere -Good for corporate events -Price is average Came in around 7:30pm on a Friday and it was busy! We waited like 5 minutes for a table but were seated at a small two person booth/table. Our server was pretty busy but attentive and knew a lot about the menu. We ordered the wedge salad and the yellowtail sushi roll. It was spicy and had a nice touch of yuzu on top and the fish was relatively fresh. The wedge salad had plenty of dressing on it and it was pretty good. For the main we got the Chilean sea bass which was very sweet and savory. The scallops had a perfect sear and they were pretty very rich and buttery. The broccolini was steamed and fresh. He finished off dinner with the crème brûlée and the Keylime pie, both of us we had to take home because we were so full. I think overall this experience is pleasant, not something very memorable, but I'm happy I've came here!

    My sister and I decided to treat my brother in law here for his birthday. He found out that a…read morePolish buffet existed around here so he had to go! We went before the dinner rush on a Saturday. There's a small parking lot in the back but that was full so we parked on the street. We were immediately seated and drink orders were taken as well as soup (which is included). Drinks are added separately and not inclusive of the $34 per person. I had the borscht and that was tasty and comforting. My brother in law didn't waste any time and he immediately got his first plate going. My sister and I took our time to enjoy the soup. I then started with the appetizers and tried the different salads. It was cool to see they had aspic since that's not something you see often either. When I eventually made my way to the warm food, I was overwhelmed by all the choices. I tried to take one of everything but even then it was too much so I didn't get to try it all. The meats that I did try were super tender and juicy. They definitely know what they're doing with the meats! The dessert area had so many different options. There was cake, flan and cheesecakes. So many to choose from! I think I just love Polish food in general because of the comfort food aspect. The proteins are usually simmered in gravy and you get to pair it with potatoes cooked in all sort of ways! My sister was adventurous and just started putting random stuff on her plate that I've never seen before. She found the meat spread and that was surprisingly good too. If you're ever in the area, try to go before the dinner rush. It's a great space and is deserving of the title "Largest Polish buffet in Chicagoland".

    Parking is the hardest part here because of the tiny lot and packed side streets. We managed a…read morespit about two blocks away but were seated right away when we got in. Lunch and dinner prices appear to be the same (over $30) for adults but even though the waitress asked how old our kids were, she charged us less, so win on that! Husband liked the carved meats and kids loved the dumplings and all the mini desserts and fruit. I had a bit of dumpling and some sausage and rice, but was getting over a headache, so this was not a gorging meal for me. Very nice waitress and we didn't feel rushed or crowded even though they were busy.
