The Hawaii Roll is raw with tuna, salmon, shrimp tempura, crunch, avocado, and mango and it is wrapped in soy paper and topped with spicy mayo and wasabi sauce. This was $18.50. I've never had mango in a sushi roll and this was fantastic! I wasn't sure about it at first but the variety of fish and the crunch with the sweetness of the mayo and the sauces was pure perfection! The Miyazaki Roll is smoked salmon, krab meat, and cream cheese. It is deep fried and topped with eel sauce. This was $10.95. Loved this! It was not overly breaded and definitely not oily. So good!! My meal also came with a choice of soup or salad. Naturally I picked the miso soup, which was great! They had a lot of options and variety! It was hard to pick the 2 rolls I did because several sounded great! Service was excellent! Staff were so attentive and friendly! Would definitely recommend and come back!

So I'm in college town Tampa for work and figured I'd take my daughter out to dinner because she's…read morebeen studying her brains out at USF. We were actually on our way to a different Chinese buffet when we accidentally stumbled into AJISAI Hibachi Buffet... and let me tell you, sometimes getting lost is the best thing that can happen! The words "All You Can Eat" had me at hello. For $32.99, the amount of food choices is absolutely insane. Sushi? Check. Hibachi? Check. Seafood? Check. Desserts? Check. Basically, if you leave hungry, that's a personal decision. Now, I walked in hungrier than a hostage... and my daughter? Let's just say she activated her Big Back Scholarship. Every time I looked up, she had another plate like she was training for the Buffet Olympics. I was honestly proud. Everything we tried was fresh, hot, and packed with flavor. The staff kept everything stocked, the restaurant was clean, and the atmosphere was perfect for stuffing your face without judgment. If you're in Tampa visiting your kid at USF, do yourself a favor and stop by AJISAI Hibachi Buffet. Just wear stretchy pants... because your belt is definitely filing a complaint afterward.

3.5 Stars. We went on a weekend for lunch, but because they only offer the all-you- can- eat at…read morethe dinner price, even at lunchtime, we decided to go a la carte. Inside, the large space was nicely decorated, and there were plenty of tables available. I think the a la carte sushi was good, if expensive for what you got. I got a spicy yellowtail roll, and while the roll had plenty of filling, it was only 6 pieces. I got the sashimi appetizer, and it had 9 pieces, but the slices were pretty thin and small. Plate presentation was beautiful for it though. Finally I got the tom yum soup, which was actually terrible. The broth was thin like water with hot sauce added. The shrimp in the soup were hard, overcooked balls, that could have been served on a pickleball court. Service was decent, although she seemed pretty busy, and we had to flag her down when we actually needed something. I'll try Ajisai again at lunchtime during the week, when the buffet is actually at the lunch price.

The online ordering process was seamless, and the restaurant itself was clean and inviting. The lunch specials offer excellent value, with generous portions that include your choice of protein, vegetables, soup, and rice (we upgraded to fried rice). I ordered the teriyaki chicken along with sushi rolls, and everything was fresh and flavorful. They also accommodated a soup swap for me at no additional charge, which was a thoughtful touch. Overall, a great experience with quality food, generous portions, and friendly service. I can see why it's a frequent go-to for locals!

Dinner was $23 per adult for AYCE, not bad considering both the variety and the quality of the food. The place was very busy when we arrived, but we were seated quickly. There was a large selection of fresh hot entrees, fried appetizers, sushi, seafood, desserts. Had two plates of sushi and sashimi that satisfied my sushi craving! I noticed the restaurant seemed a little understaffed. It felt like the same hardworking server was constantly moving throughout the dining room, clearing plates, cleaning spills, wiping tables, and helping guests. She remained friendly despite being stretched thin. Overall, this is one of the better buffet experiences I've had recently. Tasty food, good variety, reasonable pricing, and a comfortable atmosphere. I'd absolutely recommend it, especially for families or larger groups looking for something that has a little bit of everything.

The prices are reasonably as well, compared to other poke spots in the area. What's not to love? Will always come here whenever I'm in Tampa. Thumbs up from me ;))

I actually had a hard time figuring out what I wanted lol but for my appetizer, I decided to get the vegetable soup medium spice, and that was very good and very refreshing!

When I tell you, it was good. It was good! I ended up not being able to eat all of my food so I took it home for leftovers for the next day. I would definitely recommend going here as I will definitely be back to try more options on the menu.

We almost always start with a green tea but have enjoyed nihonshu (sake) as well when not driving soon after. Sherin, our server, answered questions about the new menu items we considered and was delightful. We will continue to return, I hope more frequently now that summer is upon us.
