I was excited to try Yutaka Buffet, a spot my boyfriend used to visit as a kid. It's a classic buffet in Revere offering a mix of Japanese and Chinese cuisine. While the selection isn't huge, everything we tried was tasty. I especially enjoyed the fried rice, chicken, and the surprisingly good sushi alongside the hot bar options. For dessert, they offer ice cream, fresh fruit, and cookies--simple but satisfying. The ice cream is delicious. Overall, it was a great value for the price, and I left full and happy! read more

A Great little buffet... my wife and I had been eating a Kowloon's for years and they have really gone down hill lately, so looking for an alternative, we found this place a few blocks away. Staff was very prompt and polite, a lot on the buffet is fried which is expected, but they had plenty to eat that was not with a lot of healthy options. The food on the buffet as well as the sushi were consistent and tasty. Fresh loads of items were coming out at a regular pace. My wife and I had a pleasant meal... 4 stars. read more

Just a quick update I guess it's been eight years since my last review . Well things that Yutaka haven't actually changed at all. You still get a ton of sushi it's better than buffet sushi, not high-end, but it's middle of the row quality always a great meal they have a great assortment maybe about 10 different sushi rolls available at all times they usually refill the plate promptly there's many other types of food. Also a great Asian buffet a couple of my favorites that stick out the string beans great flavor. I also enjoy the baby clams and black beans sauce over rice. The salt and peppered shrimp and fish that are fried is fabulous. They have a great selection of fresh fruits in or out of season always fresh. The staff here very polite and I don't believe there's any turnover at all. These women have been here forever. The place is usually pretty clean compared to a lot of the Chinese restaurants parking is no problem as it's located storefront at Northgate shopping center I think you can park a couple cars here give it a try for $20 all the sushi you could eat more freaking fabulous deal read more

Friendly staff, clean, good strong dark tea, quick table service. A good variety of the normal fare of Chinese food at a buffet. Have a good selection of fresh fruits. A nice selection of ice cream. White rice smelled old, miso soup was so salty, a nice selection of sushi rolls. read more

...and 10 years later, I was back! Yutaka looked so different from memory. The food bar is small with very little offerings. We visited on a Thursday night around 6pm and it was pretty empty. There were surprisingly a lot more sushi options than I thought - questionable options but the sushi was there. They served several different rolls and two nigiri options: tuna and salmon. Now to the hot foods...the highlight was definitely the seafood. I saw a table with plates of crawfish and clams in black bean sauce. The clams were delicious! I also enjoyed the mussels with a torched cream cheese topping as well. Everything else was subpar but what can you expect? We didn't get to tackle the dessert section because the fire alarm went off as our bellies were filling up but I did see s couple of fruit options and ice cream offerings. read more

It's a decent enough buffet for the price. I was here for a quick lunch on a quiet weekday. Food was pretty decent about what you expected with American Chinese food. Some of the dishes are better than others, I particular enjoyed the cha siu pork, most of the veggie like bok choy and string beans. I thought the seafood like the fish and shrimp weren't that great, even after frying didn't cover up the lack of freshness. The sushi were decent but nothing exciting. It was nice that they still have fruits and desserts though. I tried the melons and dragonfruit and had no complaints on the quality. I mean for $12 lunch buffet its about what I expected. Staff was friendly and service was quick. Overall definitely a good choice for a quick buffet if you're in the mood for it. read more

For the low, LOW price of $14 for a sushi buffet, I am in love with this place. They even had salmon and tuna sashimi which had great texture. Quality on par with what I've had at other AYCE places (ie Yamato's). It goes fast though so you have to get it quickly before it runs out. I had lowered expectations for the sushi knowing it was a buffet but I am impressed. Almost all the rolls were great. Overall it's a fairly small place with not a huge selection of food, but all the food I had was appetizing and they had 6 flavors of ice cream which I appreciated.. LoL. You get what you pay for and I'd say it's definitely worth it. Also, some of the one-star reviews for this place are bonkers. If you're expecting five-star sushi and service with custom rolls catering to allergies, maybe don't choose a $14 buffet. Wish I lived closer, because I would be coming here all the time. read more

Honestly, for $14 + $2 for a seltzer this is hands down best lunch stop if you're staying at the 4 points airport hotel. Screw the hotel. Screw McDonalds. Screw UNO (which was closed for maintenance and the hours not updated). This place hit the spot, was quick for me to get to my meeting, service was nice, food was good, and options. Underrated and people need to know! read more

I did a dinner buffet here. The food was okay. There was nothing that blew me away. I did like the bok choy. It was fresh and cooked perfectly. The clams were also good. The few pieces of sushi I tried were not good and didn't taste fresh at all. The service was non existent as the ladies were all sitting around and eating during my visit. I had to signal across the room to get my server to come over for refills. I understand everyone has to eat so it's all good just an fyi to what you might experience. It was about 2 hours to closing maybe that's why my visit went this way. read more

This is my family's go to sushi place because truly for the price, the sushi can't be beat. Their sashimi and rice are always so fresh and the servers are very sweet. Sometimes they are overworked so it may take a little time for food to arrive if it's packed but overall they try their best to accommodate. There's plenty of seating is inside, nothing fancy, but it works :) read more

I don't know who these people are that are complaining about a 'small' buffet. It kind of feels like they are either shills or have an axe to grind. I included a picture of the buffet so you can judge for yourself; as I have seen truly small buffets with only 4-5 dishes. Maybe these people think every buffet is supposed to be Golden Corral. In any case, the food is of good quality. I wouldn't call it great, but for the price it IS a great value. I would recommend this place to any hungry person on a budget, or not. read more

Yutaka Buffet - The buffet. - Buffets Near Me - Revere, Massachusetts

I was disappointed that they were not operating the buffet for lunch, But I saw the Makimono special on the menu, three rolls for $10.99. So I stayed instead of getting something to go. I was very pleasantly surprised at how generous the rolls were. A little rice and a lot of filling, and not the other way around. Pictured here, left to right is the Crazy Maki, tuna and avocado, and spicy tuna. The Crazy Maki is tempura shrimp and avocado with a spicy sauce. They were all delicious and again the amount of filling was very satisfying. So it was a great price for what I got, and I will definitely be back! read more

Food was amazing and very friendly servers, buffet was hot and good for your money value.

I am so glad Yutaka reopened! They no longer have the buffet, but they are open for takeout and dine-in from their takeout menu. The food was plentiful and decently priced. I hope one day they can reopen their buffet but until then I will be ordering takeout from them in an effort to support Yutaka! read more

Yutaka Buffet - Buffet Food - Buffets Near Me - Revere, Massachusetts

**NOTE: Review is for a weekend night dinner! ** This place I find is a rare gem of a buffet. I've been to many in the Boston area and this place wins in regards to value. While it's your typical Chinese buffet, I find the selection quite wide and varied compared to most Chinese buffets. In addition to this, the food is frequently replenished and quite tasty! The sushi selection is also decent (and includes hand rolls too!) which is something I find unexpected for a Chinese buffet. However, the best part is without a doubt the price. For a weekend dinner, the cost is a mere $14.99 per person. To me that's incredible especially since they had crawfish and seafood options when I was here tonight! 5/5 would recommend! read more

Sub par Chinese buffet with purely average sushi. Not a lot of customers for a clear reason: it's rather dirty and the food isn't good. Not a lot of great things to say about this place. Plates were clearly a little dirty, food was not good, and sushi was lacking. Minimal sauces for the sushi too. Would not recommend. read more

worst buffet ever!!!!! hair in the food and they takr the unfinished food from peoples plates and put it back!!! thats nasty they also don't clean and it was so dark in there!! never going back. never go here unless your looking to throw up read more

I've been dying for a Chinese buffet, but since Covid my favorites have dropped their buffet. I searched and found this one in my area. The price is right and the selection was OK, though weighted heavily towards chicken and vegetarian options. No beef, but one shrimp dish which was pretty good. The problem was food temperature and freshness. It wasn't very busy which is always a problem for buffets. I might try it again, but arrive as soon as it opens for lunch at 11:30! read more

Every time I go here they give me tables that are far away from the food even though they have many open tables right next to it.

Great variety of tasty Japanese/Chinese food. Always a great place to go when you're starving and craving some sushi. Plus the ice cream after is very tasty. Getting hungry just thinking about this place lol. read more

They make me pay 20% tip when I was already leaving cash. They told me it was because they were paying taxes. We all pay taxes not just them

I've ordered delivery twice now and not disappointed. This place is really becoming one of my favorite Chinese restaurants. Ordered crab Rangoon, General Tso's chicken, vegetable fried rice, and house lo mein. Sorry I don't have any pictures. We devoured it before I thought of taking pictures... Both times! Super good!? read more

Cold food. Dirty floors and tables. Ignored service. Total waste of money here. I gave 2 stars because of the easy parking. (Empty parking lot.) read more

My Family and I came here because of a recommendation from a Friend. First of all, I checked the website and reviews. It was not looking good but we were very open minded. Anyways, came here on a Saturday night for dinner around 7pm. It was pretty busy, we were sat down right away. Server was nice, but that's where it stops. The Buffet itself was nothing to talk about. It was VERY SMALL in size. Food was VERY subpar at best. We will never be back. read more

the purpose of this review is to re-balance things fairly after "Tiff"'s most unfair 1-star rating (seriously? how entitled can you be ? oh what could one expect from an "elite" reviewer :0 ha ha ha) back to the review ... this buffet has decent variety and in all my years of going here the food has always been relatively fresh and a very good deal for the price. I continue to find it astounding that 1-star reviewers can be so absolutely lacking in empathy and kindness for families trying to succeed at business in what is a very challenging environment. In short, restaurant = 4 stars (actually) 1-star reviewers = 1 star (deservedly) read more

Came here for lunch and I must say I am pleasantly surprised! The food is so fresh and they are constantly changing/replacing food so it's all hot. As a vegetarian I am happy to report that there was plenty for me to eat - spring rolls, veggie tempura, Lo mein, veggie stir fry, fresh sautéed bok Choy and an avocado/cucumber sushi. My friend said the tuna sushi was incredible and he also liked the crab rangoon and General Tso's chicken. Highly suggest if you're in the area for a quick, casual and very cheap lunch! read more

We went here once before everything got shut down cause the Covid thing. Their buffet section is back open. BUT WEAR YOUR MASK WHEN YOU GET YOUR FOOD. Be mindful of their business operations. Don't be a douche just because you don't want to wear your mask. The food selection is small but they keep their food fresh, same with their sushi.The staffs that's there are wicked friendly. FYI they're not using tiny baby shrimps, these shrimps are regular size you'd cook at home read more

Always good and service is awesome with fresh dishes and opens early and stay open late.

Pros: Tasty food, excellent service, small crowd Cons: Some foods are cold, not a lot of options, small bar read more

If you are black don't even go here. This is the second time I orders thought the Uber eats app from this establishment. Upon arrival a man at the front desk ask to see my phone which I found to be weird because on the application it just state that my order is ready. Next he ask to see my I.d which was left in my car because I run in to pick up my food that I already paid for on the Uber eats application. Just to make sure it wasn't a me issue I had my fiancé who is white ordered from this place and he had a different experience where his food was just handed to him. To be honest this was such a weird experience as I live close to the area and I usually Uber from Malden Hosue of Pizza where I tell them my name and they just gave me my pizza with this place I had to show my I. D because I am black smh. And read more

We have been visiting Yutaka since the restaurants started to serve after the COVID pandemic. We always find it clean, all the servers are nice, and they remember our drinks :D We've never been disappointed in regards to the food, it is always fresh and tasty. It worth the buck! Thank you Yutaka! read more

This is your standard typical Asian buffet and if you love Asian-American food definitely come here! I usually come here 1-2 times a year and each experience is always a good one! For a buffet, the sushi is great. The sushi bar is always putting out fresh sushi and it is always a different selection everytime i go! They have different flavors of ice cream as well for dessert! The food is tasty and fresh but i do suggest that they could have a bit more food options. Other than that, I'll be back soon!! read more

Good food for buffet quality food. Selection wasn't big but the sushi selection was decent size the food was good nothing special the lobster sauce was REALLY GOOD! Went in on late Wednesday afternoon and it was pretty empty but it was raining that day they should be getting 3.5 stars but I'll give them the 4 because it is a buffet so you get what you pay for and for 20$ I got full with some good stuff! read more

Please, if you value your health don't come here. The sushi is questionable, the food has been left out for three hours. They're dry and dehydrated and made everyone in our party sick. I'm about to file a complaint with Linda Redding the health inspector over the ridiculous food standards with which they serve the general public here. read more

I don't usually write reviews but I made an account just to review this place. We drove 20 minutes from our hotel to come here because we love sushi and have missed the buffet-style. Everything had the same weird taste, and my lo mein was cold. Our waitress barely spoke to us. They did not come check on us once. My boyfriend's beer was WARM. My water was warm as well. They put ice but it melted immediately. I had my empty cup at the end of the table after I finished it and not once did they come over and ask if I wanted more. My stepdaughter asked for more apple juice but the waitress walked away before she even listened so we had to ask another waitress for more drinks. I had two pieces of sushi that were actually good and that I actually enjoyed. I got every kind and there were two that I ate that were so disgusting I had to spit them out. I haven't spit food out since I was a child. I am not a very picky eater and I love Chinese food and all sushi and I always try new things, but after spitting out the sushi roll I was afraid to go any further. We were extremely disappointed and for the bill to be almost $60 for 3 people was insane. I wanted to complain with how disappointed I was because I left there still starving, but I didn't even bother. I know things are hard with COVID times these days but this was the worst experience I have ever had at a restaurant. I am not sure if this is something that happens often but I will never ever ever come back here . read more
