    We came in thinking there was seafood.. of course there was but it's not like the cooked crawfish, fried shrimp, boiled crab legs like where the buffet we are from. There is a variety of food but it wasn't much I enjoy eating. Though sushi selection was excellent. I, myself love hibachi, but here, there was no shrimp as the protein. Service and price: Reasonable price and service was good. Ambiance: The place was nice, it was vibrant. Bathroom is not as clean though.

    Pretty solid Chinese buffet at a cheap price point! They have the standard Chinese buffet foods from sesame chicken to spring rolls to sushi, and all the foods were pretty warm and fresh. I especially enjoyed the sushi, as there was salmon and other good sushi selections for lunch. I did think most of their dishes were quite salty though, and their desserts were kind of mid. The service was pretty quick and frequent, which was nice. I would say this is a good place for a large variety for not too much money, especially in comparison to a lot of the other touristy restaurants in downtown Savannah.

    Visited my friend in Savannah, from Charleston, so went to this phenomenal all-you-can-eat sushi and more buffet, at $11.99 per person. It was amazing how much there was! The food was delicious. They offered everything under the sun...sushi, hibachi, hot and cold seafood, stir-fry, rice, soup, noodles, fruit, veggies, dessert. The service and ambiance were great. My only complaint was there was no low-sodium soy sauce available at all. Had to take extra blood-pressure medication, due to having to use full-sodium soy sauce. Otherwise, it was a great experience! Highly recommend!

    Just about the best selection of sushi I have ever seen on a buffet anywhere. This place is seriously awesome and the rest of the buffet is great too.

    Will never go to this business establishment ever again

    I was very disappointed when a manager prohibited me and my service animal from entering the restaurant. Despite showing valid credentials, he insisted my medical helper was not a service animal. When he seemed unsure of what to say next, he brought in another person to translate in Vietnamese -- which I understood enough to realize they simply did not want us there. I left feeling discriminated against and deeply embarrassed.

    I am more than happy with what you get for your money here. At $13 for a weekday lunch buffet it's cheaper than fast food, and you can eat as much as you want of their many diverse options. The food quality is, well, buffet quality. But there is a selection of items, including a salad, bar, sushi, the traditional items, and I think they have a hibachi in the back, but I didn't see anyone working there. Every item was kept filled.

    The food options and combination is good. The service is stand, I have no complaints. The restaurant has a cafeteria vibe.

    Arrived Sunday just after opening. Food was out and hot. Workers were friendly and polite. Very nice koi pond. Servers kept the old plates removed from the tables. They also kept the drinks full. They have several employees who walk around with radios and tell the kitchen what food is getting low. Great place to take hungry kids. They can eat a lot and not drive the food bill up.

    "Sakura" is a popular name for a restaurant in Savannah but I was definitely at Sakura Buffet today where I stuffed my face. Lots of variety here and it was fresh stuff. A well cared-for buffet with surprisingly good sushi and several high protein items on the steam tables. Sure, you can get the fried and they have plenty of that but if you're looking for decent food that won't leave you anything but satisfied, Sakura gets it done.

At this point, I didn't know if this place was actually that good or if it was a tourist trap. Initially called the restaurant to see if I needed to make reservation orders or if I can walk in, was told that they typically take reservations, but if I were to walk in now, I would be able to get seated. Decided to take our chances and dine in by walking in. There were plenty of seats. Hosts greeted us, but we're not very friendly. Got seated immediately. The table we were at, maybe I was sensitive, but the light that dangles from the ceiling onto the table was not low enough and aligned with our eyes. Uncomfortable honestly. Our server was very quick, you can tell she wasn't trying to work that day. Cornbread was complementary, wasn't very tasty to be honest. Extremely dry, even the jam was helpful. I opted for the New York steak with fries, nothing wow. My boyfriend got the award-winning house fried chicken with pecan sauce on the side. It was pretty good fried chicken, but not something to always come back to. Honestly, we were very disappointed because this place was very overhyped. I'm glad I tried it, but it's not something that I would recommend because it was mediocre.

    The reviews for this restaurant are a bit deceptive, because this is a case where you have to…read moreadjust your expectations. But once you do, you will find this to be a very adequate buffet experience. First of all, this restaurant is tucked in the corner of a strip mall located in a larger complex with multiple Asian dining options, including two different. Korean restaurants. But they are plenty of parking spaces. So you shouldn't have any issue here. The restaurant is not extremely large but has plenty of seating. And on the Saturday afternoon that we visited we were immediately seated. Now the restaurant is a bit dated, and the booth we were in definitely shows some wear and tear with both bench seats having the vinyl split right down the middle. There are a couple of TVs on running Fox News, and the dining room is relatively quiet with just the chatter from other tables and booths. The selection of food is pretty good given the size of the restaurant and the overall price point. They have pre prepared sushi, hibachi and a plethora of fried food options,both on the Chinese and American side. They have a small dessert menu, but not much in terms of options. They have a pretty impressive fresh bar with fresh peeled shrimp, mussels, and oysters, which I was a bit, surprised to see. The oysters were refreshed while we were there, so I decided to try a couple and they weren't bad at all. I'm usually a bit nervous about trying oysters at buffet, but they did a good job of keeping them really iced and chilled. Service was also really good with the owner greeting new customers as they walked in and our server staying on top of our drinks and picking up our empty plates promptly. And the best thing about this place is the price. For two people our total bill came to a little bit over $40. This is a really good value given the variety and the service. Definitely will be a standard in my rotation of buffets here in Savannah.

There is plenty of free parking in front of the business. They are conveniently located right off highway 80, so you are able to avoid most of Poolers Outlet Mall traffic. It is a great spot if you desire variety as your meal.

    We had a chance to visit 912 Korean BBQ and hot pot last weekend. We were looking for something…read morecasual but filling for dinner and because we had not tried out this place yet but had driven by several times, we decided to check it out. Definitely a great decision on a hunch. This is an all you can eat hot pot concept and frankly my first time attending this version. While I have visited hibachi restaurants in the past, this is not that. Basically this is a dual table side prep concept where you can either make your own custom soups and broths, and hot pot seafood or you can select the grill and grill of a variety of fresh meats and fish and vegetables, or you can get both. Both come with a small dessert bar and seem to be accompanied with the additional Fresh salad and sauce bar, although I'm not quite sure if one of those may have been restricted if you did the grill only or the hot pot only. Pricing is pretty fair at about $30 a person which rises to mid 30s if you decide to get both options. We went with the combo because we had never tried this concept before, but in the future, I may lean more towards the grill option only. Especially if I'm not in the mood for hot pot or soup. But I definitely enjoyed the combination choice for our first visit. The meat and vegetable selections at this restaurant are pretty vast and this is after the server first sets you up and allows you to pick from several different types of broth for your hot pot. In addition, they have a sauce bar that must've had 20+ sauces available to choose from. I think one of the most overwhelming aspects of this concept is lack of familiarity with the right combinations of hot pot and grilled options. For this we leaned heavily on our server and she did a great job of guiding us through a couple of her favorite combinations, as well as some of the favorite combinations of other patrons. This was really helpful because there isn't a menu or chart to help you unlock all of the really cool combinations that you can put together including Ramen udon and Thai soup varieties. All of the ingredients you need to make any of those dishes, but in your own customize version, are here to your heart's desire. Service is really good as they do switch out the grills rather rapidly as they will get charred and start to burn and smoke after three or four rounds of fresh meats and veggies slapped on them. However, they do not switch out your broth choice so once you make your choice, that's what you're rolling with for the rest of the dinner. All in all we were really satisfied with the freshness and the preparation of most of the ingredients and sauces. I did think the dessert bar was a little weak given the multitude of options elsewhere, but I also understand that this is consistent with the cultural preferences, which don't skew as heavy on traditional sweets, like American taste do. All in all this is definitely a treat for those looking for a great date night or just looking to take the family out for a really engaging and tasty cook at your table experience - all you can eat style!

    Himalayan Curry Kitchen in Richmond Hill is hands down one of our absolute favorite restaurants…read more The service is always warm and welcoming, and the food--every single dish--is nothing short of phenomenal. We've celebrated so many special moments here, from Diwali to my son's first solid food (butter chicken, of course!), and it's become our go-to spot for both the lunch buffet and countless family dinners. There is truly something for everyone on the menu. My personal favorite is the paneer makhani, while my kids are obsessed with the butter chicken (I can't blame them--it's incredible). The chicken tikka masala, curries, and kormas are all rich, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. My sister and I can't resist splitting the chili paneer, and we never sit down without ordering a few vegetable samosas and plenty of garlic naan for the table. It's just as delicious when ordered on DoorDash--which we do often! My only complaint? They're closed on Mondays, and for whatever reason, we always crave it on Mondays. If you're looking for authentic, flavorful, and consistently outstanding Indian food, you can't go wrong with Himalayan Curry Kitchen. It's a true gem in Richmond Hill, and we feel lucky to have it close by.

The second time was the Weekend Buffet. The variety of options was great... all the Indian staples were well prepared and tasty. My personal favorites were the goat vindaloo, and the tandoori chicken. There were many good vegetarian choices as well. This is nearly a 4 star visit, but the service was solidly average. The waiters came around, but at one point I had a small mountain of used plates and bowls on the table. The restaurant itself was clean, but not overly so. Overall, Himalayan Curry Kitchen is worth a visit to fix those Indian food cravings.

The restaurant was absolutely packed, and it was clear when I ordered the Oysters Rockefeller and asked if the jalapeños could be left off (their version has bacon, cheese, shrimp, kale and jalapeños) it was a "premix". Makes sense for efficiency, but anyone with a dietary or allergy restriction wouldn't have that option. Presentation also had a lack of personal touch. A friend and I each ordered a half dozen oysters, and instead of serving them separately, both orders arrived together on one large platter, but he was seated several people down the table, so we ended up placing the tray in the middle and reaching across. When I asked for another plate to separate them, there seemed to be some confusion and I was simply given an extra small plate instead. Everything was just "okay". One friend ordered the shrimp and grits and really enjoyed it, and the drinks arrived quickly and service was fast in general. Unfortunately, the low point was a friend ordered a half dozen raw oysters, but they didn't arrive until the rest of us had completely finished our meals and were asking for the check. Thankfully he had also ordered a po' boy sandwich, because otherwise he would have been sitting there hungry. To make matters worse, the oysters that finally arrived didn't taste especially fresh, and at $22 for a half dozen, they were hard to justify. Our server was friendly, but throughout the meal she had to be reminded of several items we'd ordered, almost as if we were placing the order a second time. On a positive note, the rooftop bar upstairs was a nice surprise and probably ended up being my favorite part of the visit. Overall, it felt like a restaurant designed for volume and convenience in a tourist-heavy area. Plenty of people seem to enjoy it, and I can see why it's popular. Our experience didn't live up to the hype. If I'm looking for seafood in Savannah, I'll probably explore other options next time. Glad they have covers for the patio when it rains.
