    1/2 the seating

    Located on University Dr across from Nova University , this buffet has sushi, Chinese, and hibachi. Hadn't been here in a long time and we decided to give it a try. We went right when it reopened for dinner and everything was beautifully displayed. The sushi was fresh and a good variety of rolls. Hibachi chefs are always ready to cook up whatever you bring them. Check the web for occasional coupons of bringing a small group.

    Yummy food

    First time coming here - I must say I was impressed by this buffet ! All the food was super fresh ! Nothing was left sitting ! I never went to a buffet besides a Brazilian steakhouse where the food was all hot ! The service was great as well. The only draw back is the price , it's more on the high price mark for a buffet . About $30 plus a person. Besides that it's a good treat , and it was clean . I didn't feel as though it was just any regular buffet. Tots recommend!

    Came here with some friends on a Saturday night and it was not full at all . Food was fresh and warm , just delicious! There's so many options from sushi , to different styles cooked chicken , to desserts ! The waitress was super friendly and nice and make sure we had enough water or anything that we might need . Clean and organized , grate for family or for a chill night out .

    Something light noodles, fried chicken, green beans, teriyaki chicken and a mussel.

    Very delicious, fresh food! They had a little bit of everything you wanna order when you get Chinese food. With a lovely sushi station. Everything was very delectable. Would definitely recommend eating here.

    Really good food here we are regulars. Really fresh sushi. Salmon and avocado roll is my favorite one. They have a really good hot food area.. dinner time they have crab legs. They have a great hibachi section. Nice dessert . Service is really good there always fill our glass. and everyone's very friendly. And the atmosphere is very relaxing and we enjoy going there.

    No buffet is perfect (unless you're in Vegas), and this one has its hits and misses. That said, the variety is good for the price, and there are definitely some standout dishes worth going back for. While not every item was a winner, overall it's a solid value, and I would definitely return.

    ,权重高) Absolutely obsessed with Shinju Japanese Buffet--easily the best AYCE Japanese spot in Davie! The sashimi is super fresh (tuna belly and sweet shrimp are my go-tos) and the sushi rolls are made to order, no sad pre-made stuff here. The teppanyaki station has great flavor, and the staff refills the food stations super fast even during peak hours. Service is friendly and attentive, the space is clean, and the price is unbeatable for the quality you get. I've brought my family and friends here multiple times, and everyone leaves full and happy. 10/10 recommend, will be coming back nonstop!

    For a buffet it's pretty good. I've never had any "fishy" sushi here. I would still prefer to go to an actual Japanese Restaurant though.

    A pretty nice Japanese buffet right in the center of Pembroke Pines. This is my go-to location…read morebecause it is constantly strong with everything that I enjoy. The location is very easy to find and has a nice amount of parking so I never need to hunt for one and jump at it. The service is always amazing and my table is never covered by more than one or two used plates from when my husband and I go to the buffet to grab more food. The drinks are always filled and they have a nice assortment of bar drinks as well. The lychee martini was good but not my favorite but the happy hour price made it better lol! The food is pretty good and there is a nice variety from sushi, seafood and hibachi! The sushi is always fresh and they have a huge variety of it so I never get bored getting the same two or three roll pieces when I am here!

    Visited on June 1 with family visiting from out of town, and we had a great experience. There was…read moreno wait, and we were seated right away. The buffet is well laid out with separate sections for hot foods, seafood, sushi, desserts, and ice cream, so it's easy to navigate. The seafood selection included lobster, and the sushi bar offered a large variety with plenty of options to choose from. The staff was efficient, and the food was replenished quickly, so nothing sat empty for long. Everything was well organized and made for an enjoyable dining experience. If you're looking for a buffet with a wide selection and attentive service, Minato is definitely worth a visit.

    This a Formal Complaint: Unacceptable Employee Conduct and Cursing at Chew Time Grill & Buffet…read morethat's at the Pembroke Pines Location. I am writing to report a severe customer service failure at your 12375 Pembroke RD, Pembroke Pines FL 33025 restaurant on this day, June 13, 2026 at approximately 3:11-3:25pm. My server, Reymen, tall Karen, Asian or Chinese maybe was extremely hostile and explicitly cursed at me before my family and I before leaving the restaurant. As a paying customer, being subjected to vulgar language and verbal abuse from your staff is completely unacceptable. This behavior violates basic workplace standards and hospitality rules. I request that corporate management investigates this incident, reviews the store camera footage if necessary, and takes disciplinary action. I expect a response detailing how this is being handled. Receipt/Transaction ID# 506141378223635, total amount adding up to $68.42 with NO Tip (of which I wrote on the Merchant's Receipt. As I approached the counter to pay, Reymen rudely told me to hurry up. I told him that I was sorry. I didn't know that he was waiting on me. He asked me if I had already given him my credit card? I quickly told him that I really don't like his tone. He quickly said, "I don't care!" I asked him what did he meant by saying he didn't care... I asked him for his manger, said he was the manager, went on and on saying he didn't care. The lady at the counter said there is no manager, when I asked her for his higher up. I asked few workers about his higher up manager. The frontline person behind me asked me to explain the situation. He smiled and looked at Reymen several times as I was explaining. On my way leaving he kept cursing at me profusely. At one point, he advised me that there are cameras everywhere because I was looking up at the cloud ceiling design my son was admiring. I told Reymen that I hope the cameras could hear the filthy words he was saying to me. Other people around and his co-workers heard him including customers. My son left asking him why was he cursing at me. We went to celebrate my mom's 75th birthday and it was not a good experience at all. She was shocked on the way Reymen was speaking to me. Because I didn't curse back at him, I hope Reymen don't think I would just let that go.

Just enough spices, butter chicken was on point, I really enjoyed the fresh garlic naan. The owners I think or the staff was really friendly. I felt comfortable and they checked up on us every time.

    I recently dined at Palace Indian restaurant, and overall I had a good experience…read more The service was excellent and the staff were friendly and attentive. The food was delicious, including the appetizer. My favorite dish was the lamb vindaloo, flavorful, and the perfect level of spice, I did ask for extra spicy, and it was decent, for someone who's spice tolerance is high, "extra spicy" here was just ok. The mango lassi is outstanding. It tasted fresh, nice consistency and not too overly sweet, which makes it a perfect match for any of their spicy dishes. I also recommend the onion bhaji, it's a delicious fried fritter, and an excellent choice for those who don't eat meat. There was one issue that made me, and my group a bit uncomfortable, and it was related to food handling and hygiene. There's an older female staff woman who walks around collecting empty dishes, but most surpassingly also is brining out food from the kitchen... with her hair opened up, down and flowing. When someone is handling food, typically their hair is pulled back, tied, out of their face and or have on a hair net. It made us all uncomfortable that this didn't seem to be addressed by management. Aside from hygiene concerns, that food and staff is excellent.
