Osaka had a lot of nostalgic memories for our family from 10+ years ago when we would eat there with extended families for special events. There was a wide selection of dishes in the buffet, sushi and Habachi stations. However, when we went this past Friday, one section of the buffet was completely empty/closed off. There was one tray of sushi when there used to be several. The limited dishes that were available looked like the trays were filled sparingly and did not look fresh. The soups all had a film stretched across the pots and the edges were dried and crusty. The ice cream station and desserts stayed the same, but I felt guilty making that the main part of my meal. The staff was friendly, and despite the appearance and lack of variety/quantity, the food was ok. The restaurant is spacious and has generous seating so it can accommodate large groups. If you need a quick way to feed a lot of people, this would be the place! read more

Osaka Grill & Supreme Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Bolingbrook, Illinois

Not sure why the name is "Osaka". This is about as Chinese as you can get. Even the rolls are pretty much rice balls rather than sushi. Place is clean and staff is efficient. Food is average, what you'd expect of a Chinese buffet. Hibachi is not exceptional. The meats are cut too thick, so they were tough. I would stick with the seafood and eggs. And they could have used more soy sauce or whatever sauce they usually put on the hibachi, cuz mine came out pretty bland, despite the heaping amounts of garlic and hot sauce I had put on it. The worst of it, and the reason for the 1-star. My friend witnessed a server pick up ice cream that had fallen off the bucket WITH HER HANDS and put it back in the tub. That's gross. And I witnessed a server toss food that spilled out of the buffet tray back into the tray before wiping down with an old rag. Another gross. So I stuck with eating the hibachi and not touching anything from the buffet line. This kind of hygiene is unacceptable. read more

Hate to do this. The service was good. Chill place. Food was awful though and over priced. Biggest issue I had..... it was all ice cold. Like can the heaters at least be turned on so I can stuff my fat face with warm food in peace. read more

Consistently good, great for parties. Love taking my kids here for their birthdays. So many food options. Service is always good.

The food was plentiful. 9 stations in their buffet. It's a bit pricey, but with the hibachi station and sushi bar, you can get your money's worth. Pretty clean and looks newly updated. Our server was attentive, and did I mention desserts? read more

All the food was cold and looked less than appealing at 20 dollars per person I would expect at least food that looks appealing would not recommend coming here buffets are not what they use to be . read more

Pretty straight forward buffet style Chinese food. Always good and now under new management 10/10

I headed here for lunch and ended up getting a small meal to go. The front desk attendant was ready to seat me right away. I hesitated when i saw the signs at the front desk for gratitude fees for four or more people and the sign stating there was an additional fee for credit card transactions. The front desk attendant encouraged me to look at the buffet before deciding to have lunch elsewhere. The food looked hot and was presented well. I ended up getting food by the pound to go. The front desk attendant needed to look at the food I put in my container before he ring it up in the register and made comments saying how low the price was and that I should look at the sushi bar available. The place was air conditioned, with no natural light, and lots of seating. It was not very crowded during my lunch visit. The menu had many options for takeout. read more

I don't visit this Osaka often because there's a closer one in Joliet. While they have different food styles, it's not really my favorite. The place feels a bit empty, and sometimes the food gets stale after being there for a while. It's not terrible, but it's not my top pick either. read more

The service is alright, they bring your drinks and refill you, listen this isnt like some 5 star amazing service or unique cuisine, you pay the 20 bux and eat a bunch of good greasy food, or hibachi, or sushi, and there a bunch of icecream. 10/10 would recommend if you're starving on a sunday afternoon. read more

Up front, we paid $90 for 2 adults and 2 kids to eat in. The food options were minimal at best and were not very appealing. The sushi looked dry and in disarray like it had been sitting there for a very long time. The hibachi area was dirty and abandoned with uncooked food sitting there cross contaminating. The staff was unfriendly and seemed more interested in their cell phones than doing anything else. THIS PLACE IS TERRIBLE!!! read more

No complaints about food. Service, other than bringing drinks upon arrival, never actually seen server as used plates were removed in our absence, no drink refill requests, and I don't know who is responsible for restaurant etiquette but why do I have to listen to various movies/ videos on multiple surrounding, media devices with volumes that have to be loud because my hearing isn't so good and I'm hearing loud and clear It's very annoying to me, as I'm sure as it is to others. Menards has wireless ear buds for @ $10.00, watch on! I suggest Osaka display in multi lingual verbiage: "NO CELL PHONE or MEDIA USE, while in dinner area, OR like the old "smoking areas" restaurants used to have, isolate a media dining room/area where they can enjoy their meal and media others can enjoy theirs, with no one getting offended. My Wife and I like to enjoy a nice conversational, somewhat quiet, and relaxing dinner. Today, ZEN has left the building. read more

Sign says new so I gave it a try. Still very disappointing. The sushi was terrible. No variety, it sat so long the rice was getting hard. The fried donuts weren't edible. Very hard and stale and the sesame balls sat so long the bottoms were hard. Take out from any other Asian restaurant would be better. read more

Very nice spacious place and clean as well love how they have a hibachi grill. Not to mention food was good. workers are very nice will definitely be going back read more

On the pricier side, especially dinner (over the weekend is even more expensive - 20 plus dollars with no drink or tip included!) food is decent, nothing to rave about but you can eat as much as you want! XD my favorite is the MEAT! (they have plenty of noodles, chicken, a few seafood during lunch; crab & whole shrimp at dinner but that will cost you more) Make sure not to come on Monday because it is closed. Overall, I will recommend it :) read more

This is my second time being here. The food is mediocre at best. Of course it's a buffet so food will be sitting out and losing quality. If you're really hungry you'll eat it. The service was ok, but waitress didn't come by to refill drinks. My food complaints: The rolls I got were hard, and the pastries I got were really dry. The chicken was good though. Some sweets are good, like the pudding and cookie/whipped cream dessert. read more

Terrible, I'm saving you 40 bucks for 2 people. It was so good back in the day. The quality is terrible and honestly it's so sad now. The food is cold and over half of the selctions are not available. Automatic gratuity, service fees and terrible food. DO NOT GO. read more

4 stars purely because of Miguel in hibachi so kind and very pleasant. Give that man a raise. Besides that the food meh only really good food was what Miguel made, I'd give him personally 5 stars. Food a 2 and the over decor and feel of it a 3. Decent place read more

We've been looking for an Oriental buffet for awhile. Couldn't even tell this restaurant was open but we heard it was so we decided to try. As soon as we paid the cashier wanted us to leave a tip. Sorry, no, we tip based on service. The restaurant is huge but sadly empty. Only 2 other people were there when we walked in & only 2 others came for take out while we were there. The steam tables were steaming but the food was barely warm. The items were not grouped with like items so you had to be sure to look at all the tables to find what you wanted. Crab rangoons were extremely small & egg rolls were tough from sitting out so long and these are two of the first things we look for. Some of the chicken dishes were passable as far as taste but only luke warm. For the money we paid it was not a satisfying meal. We definetely will not go back. read more

My family usually go to BC Osaka Hibachi Sushi & Buffet in Joliet for the crabs. But last Sunday we went to Osaka Grill and Supreme Buffet in Bolingbrook because we had to go to Home Depot next door. The two restaurants, while they named similarly and basically offer similar menu, are not owned and operated by the same owners or management. Let me tell you right on. the one in Joliet is really a much better option. Anyway, last Sunday, there were four of us, and being crab lovers, we got two extra plates of crabs to share. We get extra plates of crabs because in places like this, crabs are the first ones to run out and it takes time for the restaurant to replenish the trays. Mind you we are not the only ones who do this. A lot of people do. Back ot our table, we were approached by their manager who told us we should not get that many crabs, crabs that were skinny and only had 10% meat in it anyway. We told him we will consume all of what we took. Basically, Crabs were the only highlight in this restaurant who displayed 47 trays of food as their main dishes, but only 7 were beef and chicken, and only 7 were seafood, the rest were carbs like potato, bread, Mac and cheese, etc. and they call themselves the supreme buffet. The sushi hardly had any fish in it It was mostly imitation crab. The hibachi grill had 17 trays of vegetables and only 2 trays of meat and 2 of seafood. If it make it better, they had 11 kinds of dessert and 25 trays in their salad bar which includes fruits. So is this all-you-can eat buffet when you are told to cut down on servings? His excuse was, You can always go back for fresher crabs. Yeah right, like they keep their trays filled up. It's already a hard enough to decide what you put in your plate with the less appetizing items on their menu, so why spoil our appetite even more. Not coming back. read more

I'd give this place no stars if i could. The food is not as good as it once was. For starters, they've upped the price so just for 2 people it was almost $35. There are PLENTY of other places you could eat at for this price or much lower that have amazing menu items. This was just not it. The food is also horribly cold, i don't know why because some of it was barely put out. The food is also just not good, I feel horrible about all the calories I wasted here. The drinks are also horribly watered down. My server asked if i wanted more coke and I said sure but no ice this time. Tell me why she brought me the same coke with the same ice back. I don't understand. The only good thing about this place was the bathroom. read more

me and my perents went and there were flyers in food and on food and don't get me started on the bathrooms.i found a fly in my ice cream and sushi this is a place we're in not coming to ever again read more

Love this place! I was so upset when they were temporarily closed, but was so happy to see them back open! Totally Covid-19 compliant and the service was excellent as always! The older gentleman at the front desk it always so kind and has top notch service! Food is always very good and warm. The buffet has so many options to choose from, the whole family will find something they enjoy. I highly recommend this place as it has cheap prices, but excellent food and service. read more

This place is the favorite of a friend, and so I have joined her for the 3rd and final time. There are never enough fresh sushi rolls on the table. Obviously management doesn't want waste but still never ever enough fresh sushi. Yesterday I pulled a wire with a small relay attached to it from my plate. I pulled it out of the lo mein noodles and called the attendant. She took it and never said a word. I am not returning. My friend will need to dine solo. read more

Regret not believing in other reviews :( My husband and I are both having stomach ache after the meal. read more

we drove an hour to come eat here and were very disappointed. I was there with my husband to older kids and a newborn and a 1 1/2 year old. It cost us 90 dollars which we were happy to pay until we seen and tasted the buffet. The chicken was rancid and they still cooked and served it. The clams looked good but had been sitting for hours so I had to make sure the kids didn't eat that. Nothing was fresh not even the sushi rolls in the back. when on the way home my husband and I started getting sick. I have lots more to say but this is the jist of it we will not be returning back. if you want fresh food go somewhere else. read more

Food was alright, some was cold but the worse part was when we were leaving our server got upset with us for not leaving a tip , we did leave a tip when we payed with card I just didn't have cash but before I could explain he had walked away, very rude. read more

You get what you pay for. - Lesson Learned! Dinner Buffet $9.99 + $1.67 (drink) = Deceiving Deal ... So I made a trip back to the suburbs to visit family. One of my relatives mentioned seeing a flyer for a new buffet that opened up nearby. Naturally, our curiosity would lead us to try it out. Now I am kicking myself in the ass for biting my tongue and not suggesting an alternate dinner option. Let's talk about Osaka. Driving up to the location, you see a sign but no door? That's because it sort of shares its entrance with the Goodwill next door that totally takes over everything. (maybe foreshadowing?) Once you finally find the door, you are greeted with a "stone" fountain and a peculiar smell (equivalent to "new car"). At Osaka you pay before you eat.. I don't see this often, but I also haven't frequented buffets in a while. So that's whatever. There's private seating sections towards the entrance and a lot of seating elsewhere so I guess that's nice. The decor is reminiscent of Vegas circa 1998. Blaring neon lights .. repeat of misspelled food labels (see photo).. etc. Well onto the food.. There's several stations set up with a lot of offerings which caters to people with many tastes. Cool, but that does me no benefit if the food is near unpalatable. A lot of things taste weird, or are just plain terrible. The sushi was offensive.. I got a big bite of rice and cream cheese... and the fish, well. fishy. Chinese dishes are probably their strongest suit (which is funny b/c the place is called Osaka which is a city in Japan..) but in this case I use "strong" loosely. Stir fries are mediocre, egg rolls rancid, etc. luckily I took bite sized portions of most things.. They also managed to botch "Hot and Soure" soup.. (their spelling, not mine). Salad bar is underwhelming and the American section offers some suspect "Prime Rib" (actually, just big chunks of beef slow cooked in broth) and a huge pork loin that's overcooked and monotone. The only thing I honestly enjoyed there were the spicy crayfish.. but they were salty as hell. I found myself full after downing 3 glasses of water (which I had to pay for). Let's just say, I personally won't be returning. But if you're looking for something to fill you up quick, and cleanse your digestive tract even faster.. this place will do the trick. Best of luck! read more

Osaka Grill & Supreme Buffet - Would you like to try some stir-fried Musser?? (Mussel) - Buffets Near Me - Bolingbrook, Illinois

DO NOT EAT HERE!! It was ok before Covid, but now a waste of money for $15. Two out of six hot stations closed down including the Hibachi station. Most of the food there had been sitting out and looked gross. Also charging fee to use credit card and automatic gratuity for more than 3 people. read more

As long as you set your standards for Osaka to the same that you would any strip mall Asian buffet, you'll do all right here. First of all, finding the place. It's awkwardly placed right next to a Goodwill, with the two entrances side-by-side. Never saw a set-up like that, but I guess it works. I'd also never seen a lotto machine right next to a kid's crane game, yet you also see that in Osaka. Like I said, not too much exciting. Per usual, stay away from the "American" food and the not so fresh sushi. They awkwardly have a prime rib in one of their trays, which is rough to cut with your option of fork, spoon, or chopsticks (you need to ask for the knife). The Chinese/Asian fare they have here is passable enough. Crab rangoon, black pepper chicken, sauteed mushrooms, chicken and broccoli. Nothing too surprising, but as a lover of crappy Chinese food I was satisfied. Osaka isn't something I'd make a trip for, but for the purpose it served this past weekend (that is, feeding a couple dozen friends and family) it did its job. read more

Not as good as I remember!! Everything was tough or over cooked? Pleasant wait staff with our hundred million questions what everything was. It seemed like everything was marked wrong at the buffet line. Please fix that and put up signs on your sushi line- us white folk don't know what everything is! Pot stickers are not Egg Fo young! They had these egg basket things which appeared to be wrapped in filo dough which they couldn't describe what they were? They tasted sweet? There was this green ice cream which someone said it was green tea ice cream? It wasn't sweet and tasted like weeds or grass!? Was completely disgusting!! We had fun we were there talking and trying to make sense what everything was for 2 hours! read more

Disgusting. Just go to Panda Express or order from a real mom and pop Chinese restaurant. This place is yucky. Nice interior space but the food is trash. read more

Meh I would say. This place doesn't really have that large a selection. If you want to see an impressively large Asian buffet, go to Royal Buffet in Schaumburg. The selections were also average to lower than average quality, but hey, it was only $10.60 pp for dinner, so one really can't complain that much. The seafood spaghetti and fried frog legs were particularly pretty bad tasting. I did find most of the chicken items to be decent quality - items like fried chicken, crispy chicken, orange chicken, etc and I would personally stick to those for a cheap meal outing here. Like all buffets, you do have to search out your favorite items. They've been around for about 1.5 years apparently. read more

So the staff we're super friendly, here were my Issues: Very poor selection. All the food had been sitting there probably for hours and the egg drop soup was Lukewarm. The only noodle option they had was lo mein that was literally burning to the pan. Most of the wells that the pans were in had barely any water so it was burning the wells and cooking the food faster than I guess they anticipated. Onto the actual food. The Mac n cheese we got for my daughter was just dreadful and the mashed potato's were desert dry. The cantaloupe had no flavor and what I thought were pear slices were very watered down pineapple slices. The only actual food items I got was the black pepper chicken, the mushrooms, and the egg drop soup. Cause to be honest? Nothing else there was appealing to me. I really hope that they can do better. And they really need to lower the prices from $14 a person plus drinks so more like $17 a person cause for 2 adults plus drinks it was $34 for a terrible selection of disappointing food ‍ read more

really bad service didn't want to give us refills and the lady was so rude. the food was cold and did not taste good.

Food is old and stale, avoid this place. I only put one star because it wouldn't allow me to post this message without choosing a start rating. Wish they was a negative start rating read more

So this was not that good because first the prices are really expensive so save your money and second there is nearly nothing of food and the Mac and cheese was terrible it was like if they put a lot of cheese and didn't put the Mac so there is that and also one piece of chicken was really hard and the dessert was not that great but if your looking for a shit place to eat and it's really expensive come and eat here read more

This place needs to be condemned. Very dirty. Zero possibility of them passing any sort of health codes and I've been there 3 times now and every single time the owner has been completely rude. I figured these were isolated incidents but the guy is just a complete a$$ hole. Place needs to be shut down. I forgot to mention, automatic gratuity for parties of "1" or more! Haha. I'm completely serious. And the claw machine are my money on the way out and the guy wouldn't give me my money back despite my kids being right next to me and proceeded to tell me to call the customer service number on the machine for help. What a complete dumpster fire of a restaurant and management staff. read more

The food here is very subpar. The entire restaurant is very filthy and dirty. The windows are mucky as soon as you walk in through the front door. As you come in you walk past the drink station, which has buckets with dirty rags inside. The entire atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired. I haven't checked the bathrooms. But if the common dining space looks that bad I can only imagine how much better the bathrooms are! read more
