    This was such a nice buffet. Super clean, well lit, plenty of tables, staff was nice, abs superb. This buffet is a lot closer to home so we gave it a try. Prices were reasonable. Food was good. Seafood options were great. Sushi looked amazing as well. Few things my family were looking for were white rice (they do have, you just have to ask), an ice cream machine (they do have frozen hard ice cream -no toppings), more dessert options, and more sauce options. Little things that can be solvable. But I'd def be back. My kid loved the fried chicken and my family loved everything else about it. It's nice to eat and then walk around the outlets. Hoping good things for this establishment.

    The service is typical buffet style. The waiter takes your drink order right after showing you to your table. This place is an exceptionally clean buffet. The food comes out of the kitchen fresh and hot. I haven't been to a buffet in years, but this was a pleasant experience. This location had everything you could think of plus sushi and dessert.

    Absolutely Outstanding! Sakura Buffet in Staten Island is hands down one of the best buffet experiences I've had in a long time. The food variety is incredible -- from beautifully presented sushi rolls that are fresh and flavorful, to an amazing seafood selection with juicy crawfish, perfectly cooked shrimp, and tender clams. The cold bar is packed with fresh salads and appetizers, and everything tastes as good as it looks. The presentation is gorgeous, with vibrant greenery and a clean, modern setup that makes every dish look even more appetizing. The staff is attentive, friendly, and quick to clear plates without being intrusive. Everything feels fresh, well-prepared, and constantly replenished. If you're looking for a place that has both quality and quantity, Sakura Buffet is the perfect spot. Whether you love sushi, seafood, or just a great variety of hot and cold dishes, this place delivers it all -- and does it exceptionally well. Highly recommend!

    Very clean place. Nice seating with a view. Food is great. Good variety. Dinner buffet is worth the price tag.

Coordinating a group that size is never easy, but the staff was very accommodating they kept things moving, checked in often, and made sure we had what we needed. The food was a1. From the grill the short rib was the star! the hot pot miso soup was everything and satisfying just what I needed to combat the cold weather. There was plenty to go around, and the interactive cook-it-yourself vibe made it perfect for a group celebration. Definitely one of those meals where everyone is talking, laughing, and tasting a little bit of everything. That said, there were a few notes. A couple of items were brought out that we didn't order, which caused a bit of confusion at the table. Nothing major. Even with that, the experience was fun and delicious overall, and I genuinely had a great time celebrating here.

I opted for the mushroom soup and it was pretty flavorful. There are a variety of vegetables, meat, seafood, noodles, etc. to choose from. Some of my favorites include scallops, dumplings, udon, and fishballs. There is also a birthday freebie but you have to bring 3 other people with you. For $32 AYCE, it wasn't bad at all! I would return.

    Love going to Cast Iron Pot, but was getting tired of hauling out to the Signature past Fort Lee…read more So I was pleasantly surprised to find one closer to me in SI! Service was prompt-- we were seated almost immediately once our whole group was gathered, and immediately began to be served. Meats came out fast. They have a 3 meat at a time limit here, but given that they're doing most of the cooking for you, it helps keep things fresh and things are coming off the grill pretty quickly anyways, so the limit does not really come at the cost of velocity of consumption (if you're that kind of AYCE eater). Service here is pretty proactive, coming by regularly and taking orders promptly. We got a mix of meats and sides throughout. Pork belly is a winner, both slabs and slices. Beef intestines were not as we remembered from other locations, but nonetheless good. Sliced beef brisket and jowl are also good cuts for folks looking for something new. Not too much of a fan of marinated meets, but I'm sure they'd live up to the same level of quality too. One huge plus about this particular chain (for which you do pay a bit of a premium in the price) is that they have pretty amazingly efficient grills and vents, such that you can largely avoid smelling like your AYCE KBBQ afterwards. Pretty uncommon, and totally forgivable when it happens, but a nice plus for this place!

All were good and tasty except the bean stew was too spicy for my taste. Service was friendly but the staff has missed some orders since they rely on memory to get them out. Lunch was 33 dollars per person.

They also have random items that you would find at a discount store for sale. I was pleasantly surprised at the extremely reasonable prices. We paid $25 pp, for the all you can eat dinner and unlimited soft drinks. This price alone was worth the trip. The food area has a wide selection of meats, seafood, sides, desserts and they can even cook your selection on the hibachi style grill. This place is great if you're a seafood lover. I really wanted to try a bit of everything but there was so much food that it was a bit overwhelming. I would say that the majority of the seafood I tried was pretty good. The various styles of shrimp were my favorite. The salmon was also very good. I was not really impressed with the sushi roll options as it was pretty much California rolls and I don't eat imitation crab. My only minor complaints are that I wish some of the dishes had labels listing the ingredients since I was confused about some of the food. I understand that buffet food is not going to be piping hot but the majority of the food was lukewarm. The service was limited but friendly.

I enjoyed the pepper steak, spicy honey chicken and fried shrimp. Little one enjoyed the nuggets, fries and pizza. Love all the food options available. Staff keep the place clean and food stocked. One thing I will say, whenever you go with kids, go with then and help them at the buffet serving themselves. Some parents I witnessed tended to be oblivious when watching their kids. Otherwise, the place was all good. When paying, I told them one adult one child and they charged my kid the adult rate. I'll let that slide one time so when paying, check and make sure you pay what you are supposed to pay. Good for groups and a date, can be slightly intimate in some sections.

This is a typical…read moreself-service buffet type of restaurant which is very common in Brazilian communities in Newark-NJ, Astoria-NY and many other locations. You make your plate, weigh and pay about $10 per pound. My feijoada plate from the attached picture had a little less than a pound so I paid around $9 which is a great deal especially if you compare to other restaurants in the area. The restaurant is somewhat small, simple, but there are enough tables for everyone even during lunch hours. Staff is friendly, they give you privacy to pick your food without anyone bothering you, food is tasty and the variety is ok. I wish they had Brazilian barbecue similar to other restaurants in the area but I can't really complain because the food and price were great. Compared to other Brazilian restaurants in the area this place has a big advantage because the process is very simple. Other restaurants such as Casa Nova, Cantinho Mineiro, Delícia de Minas also offer a buffet option but their process is very complicated. They have a prix fixe option for a set price and then if you add meat it's a different price, if you want to take something to go you need to pick a prix fixe container for a different price. It's just too confusing and I don't really like that, hence my preference for this Brazilian buffet restaurant. Don't expect any luxury or lots of variety. This is a practical restaurant offering food for a fair price. I definitely recommend it. Note that there's just street parking and the Wilson Ave area tends to be busy so keep that in mind.

This last Saturday (2/14/26) was the absolutely last time. I don't even know where to begin. Let's start with this: when we were seated, we were given plastic utensils and had to beg for regular metal forks. Granted, it was a busy day, being Valentine's Day, but it was their responsibility to prepare. The food lately is atrocious. Disgusting. Trays remain empty and do not get refilled in a timely manner. They used to have a grill where they did freshly grilled meats. Now they have some dumb Raman bar that no one ever uses. When we were there I didn't see anyone come up there. All food counters are perpetually dirty. They used to clean all the time. Now they just leave the mess people make and it's gross. We've been disgusted after each time we go to this buffet - nausea and diarrhea guaranteed from the horrible food. Never again! This time we went, there were no drinks in the fridge, it was empty, there were no grilled meats, and the ones there were cold and looked old, counters are nasty. The entire place has gone to h*ll and is poorly managed now. I'd rather go to a real restaurant, with normal food and not this horror they're serving.
