We loved it. I took the kids. It's the kind of buffet where there's something for everyone. Service was prompt and attentive. This place is huge. There's a hibachi station, a whole dessert section, big salad bar, and several hot tables with all of the usual hits. General Tso's, Lo Mein, Crab Rangoons, Egg Drop and Hot & Sour Soups, Sesame Chicken, Won Tons, French fries, chicken nuggets, salmon planks, and on and on. Idk, but it's the stuff you usually see at a Chinese buffet in America. Probably not super authentic, but it's what we're used to. All of the condiments! The restroom was clean and the staff were super hospitable. read more

Yoki buffet was amazing, very large selection of food, the sushi was fresh, very tasty, there are so many choices on their food bar, food was hot and fresh, there is also a hibachi grill with made to order items. It is a must go to place if you are in the Cleveland area and hungry for Chinese food. Great price too! read more

Love the fact that it had hibachi in addition to the buffet. Many sushi choices available. The buffet food was hot and delicious. A little pricey ($18 a person without a drink), but it was a Sunday. We look forward to eating here in the future. read more

When this buffet first opened, I had serious concerns. Sushi was being left out for hours before finally being placed on ice, and food storage practices weren't where they needed to be. To their credit, they have improved since then. The restaurant is much cleaner now, and food handling overall has gotten better. However, there are still some issues. At times, they forget to change out the food, which leaves some dishes either cold or just lukewarm. For a buffet--where food is constantly being consumed--they really need to take the extra initiative to keep temperatures at safe levels and rotate dishes more consistently. Another concern is the lack of supervision around the buffet area. I've seen children serving themselves without parents present, sometimes grabbing food with their bare hands. There are little to no options for gloves being used by guests, which makes this even more concerning from a hygiene standpoint. At $20 per person, the price feels a bit steep for the quality and oversight. While I appreciate the improvements they've made, these lingering issues keep me from rating higher than 3 stars. read more

This place is amazing. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong and probably pretty ugly. The Mongolian pork is amazing and I would punch a nearby child for the sesame chicken. Plus all you can eat sushi and fresh cooked hibachi. I love this place and you should too read more

Nice to have a Chinese buffet back in Cleveland. Place seems clean and the wait staff is pretty good. Only complaint I have is that the buffet gets pretty empty sometimes and they take forever to remove dirty dishes from the table. read more

The food is always fresh and everyone is very attentive to keeping everything clean. Great food and sushi

i wish i could say that the food was amazing but i was turned around as soon as i walked in the door. i had my service dog with me and before we even entered the door the manager told us that dogs aren't allowed. after i explained nicely that he was a service animal and offered to show the paperwork he continued to tell me that i had to leave the dog outside. so we left and won't be going back. we'll be at the other 50 restaurants in town that welcome me and my working service dog. read more

It was ok. The sushi was what you would expect from a Chinese buffet. Wouldn't recommend any salmon, it's hard and super weird tasting. Soy sauce is a little strong. Dumplings aren't bad. Chicken is good, and all other Asian stuff is not bad it's pretty average. Will be returning in the future because it's not expensive and some of the food is not bad. read more

It's your average Chinese buffet. And it's the only one in Cleveland, so that probably has to count for something. Cheap lunch prices @ $11.99 for AYCE. Good variety of options from Chinese food to hibachi to sushi to American food to seafood to fruits. Would probably come back just for the quantity of food. It's what you expect from a Chinese buffet. Service was adequate enough, nothing spectacular. read more

The staff has been rude on more than one occasion and the food is way too expensive for how mediocre it is.

Not sure why the bad reviews. Maybe because we're here on a Sunday and it's different but this place is AMAZING! The food is fresh, hot, and plenty. The service is wonderful. Best Chinese buffet in the area. Hopefully it lasts and stays open. read more

there was literal mold on half of our food items and when we brought it to the server's attention all we got a $3 discount, they seemed to not care at all and only thing they wanted was for us to not report it. Talked to the manager and was told " it sometimes happens" and she played it off as if nothing happened. Then proceeded to go " talk to the owners" they offered to pay us 3 dollars to not report them and then tried paying us under the table and give us a refund after she noticed we had pictures and video proof of mold and how shitty the way they dealt with the issue was. We were also asked to turn our phones off so we couldn't report them. read more

Disappointed it was nasty the rice was yellow and smelled terrible inside and made me sick

"This is awful," I said to our server. "Thank you," he replied. "Now go get some more!" He clearly read through my silly grin. I haven't had good buffet style dining since COVID. I was not disappointed with this new restaurant. Great food, large selection, reasonably priced. Thank you. (BTW, I don't know who wrote the negative reviews, but I suspect they are difficult to please anywhere!)) read more

My experience was horrible, To start off the service was bad, there were bugs and the food was uncooked, my son unfortunately got food poisoning from here. Do not recommend, don't go here. read more

This place had such a build up of being the best ever. What a disappointment! The food is bland with minimal flavor. Why does a Chinese buffet include Italian seasoned food? About 30% of buffet actually mimics Chinese food. I think people go there for the quantity of food they can pile on their plate and not quality. Will not be back. read more

restaurant was clean, food was really good, sushi could be better, service was great and friendly faces all around, it was very crowded but a nice experience can't wait to go back. read more

Bright, clean new Chinese Buffett that Cleveland TN has been wanting. Great egg rolls and wontons, loved the crab salad as well as the coconut shrimp. Wasn't pleased that I had to ask for another glass of Coke and then another glass of water ( mine and then my wife). They should have refilled both at the same time. Checkout was easy and it was a very busy time considering this is the only Chinese buffet in Town. Reasonably priced, well worth the price! We will be back! read more

This place is terrible. I 100% recommend sticking to anything else in Cleveland. My 2 daughters got food poisoning, they got my drink order wrong twice, and the food was terrible. read more

This was my daughter's first experience at a buffet, and she LOVED it. We have been back two more times since our first visit (three in a month span). First off, it is so clean and well kept when you first walk in. The staff is very attentive with drinks and getting you seated. They have so many food options, not just Chinese/japanese either! They offer high quality sushi, with a chef that makes it fresh multiple times throughout the day, as well as you can get your own hibachi, on top of a multitude of seafood options, soups, entrees and even fries, moz sticks, salad, fruit bar for the kiddos! There truly is something for everyone. Also, the staff are constantly refilling the empty bins, and bringing our fresh food throughout the day. I was amazed at the service. Their sushi is top notch, and I really enjoyed their beef and broccoli and wonton soup. My daughter loves their desserts. They have a very fair price as well!!! I'd recommend a million times over!! My favorite place to eat in Cleveland hands down read more
