Delicious! Great seafood options and sushi (which we had) and a place where the chef will cook your food right in front of you. Sorry, I do not know what it's called.

My kid had pepperoni pizza, lo mein, corn on the cob, and potato wedges. Vanilla soft-serv for dessert.

Diner Review №8

Very clean and large place with lots of options. Sushi, meat, seafood, noodles and more! Lots of value for the price

Diner Review №9

Lot of choices for food, sushi and dumplings were good. Didn't try the hibachi tho.

Diner Review №10

Great food, especially the hibachi. One of our favorites.

Diner Review №11

Other then it was COLD tonight. Food was good compared to other places I've been to. I am in a food coma right now that I have not felt in forever.

Diner Review №12

Sashimi, salmon sushi and red tuna are coming out too slow. Wait over 30min to refill.

Diner Review №17

Great selection of food. We went on the noght for all you can eat crab legs. There was so much variety of food . They have the hibachi grill, Pho, and sushi. We will be coming back. This is a must go to for buffet.

Diner Review №18

This is nice spot for groups who like to hand out for a while! The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is that it is not a 5 star wow place. It good overall and that is ok. They have a good variety of options however sadly not many salad options or soups. But overall a good spot you are gonna have a good time!

Diner Review №19

A half an hour before closing everyday take out sushi and Chinese food 40% off

Diner Review №20

Diner Review №21

Typical Chinese buffet BUT with a lot of variety of food. In fact, it is the only Chinese buffet in the east metro with this much variety of food. Most other buffets are fairly limited.

Diner Review №22

I think it's a little overpriced

Diner Review №23

Diner Review №24

Lots of options and a pho soup buffet as well

Diner Review №25

Diner Review №26

Amazing place with tons of great options, hotpot, dimsum, sushi, crab an all in one buffet place.

Diner Review №27

So amazing! We live in Duluth and we’re in town for an appointment. The variety is amazing and it was only 30 bucks for the both of us. Would definitely come back again!

I saw a roach crawling in the counters near the food and plates after I wasted 47 bucks on this nasty place I walked out after I seen that I’m very mad that I wasted my money I wish I can get it back

Diner Review №31

This place is extremely expensive and I know it's because we're subsidizing the cost of all the extra seafood that people like to pile onto their plates. I like to go for the grill but what I don't like is that they won't cook rice noodles on the grill. All the other places can do it but for some reason this place chooses not to. The food was okay. But definitely not worth $22. I don't think I will be returning.

One of the best buffets! Our family enjoyed the variety of delicious options. They have the hibachi option, when you choose which meats, veggies and sides you want and they cook it fresh for you.
We especially recommend starting your meal with the ginger for your palette, and then eating sushi, wontons, butter potatoes, green beans, green veggies, crispy fried chicken, roasted chicken, fried bananas and fresh fruit.
I was disappointed in the dessert section. The pudding and treats are average to not good though.
Thank you for a delicious meal!

I hadn't been in Tokyo 23 on about 5 years. This trip I found the food to be quite good, the staff was friendly and attentive. And we enjoyed the atmosphere. This remains my favorite buffet.

This buffet got me geeked out. The waitress was fr fr locked in, and got us pretty sigma drinks (wtr, pps, ck, fta, and root beer) I lowkey ratioed the uncultured muscles and got me the new fortnite battlepass. My fortune cookie was so good, i ate the paper and read the fortune through my lungs. Freddy fazbear, and everything was pretty good.

One of the nicest buffets I've been to. Reasonable price plus lots and lots of options. Will b going back.

Diner Review №64

Diner Review №65

Great variety of delicious food. My favorites are clams, crawfishes and ginger scallion crabs! Many more. Appetizers, sushi, desserts. You have to check it out!

Diner Review №66

Only buffet whose workers are rude. The little daughter was rude but now she's raising her new born. Great sashimi, oysters and clams on Sunday. Always has fried crabs. The bathrooms and restaurant is a bit dirty. Did meet a rude taller Chinese waitress who kept asking us to take care of her by giving her tips but why? She's so rude so I didn't give her but I always gave to the other waitresses who are always nice.

My girlfriend kept saying this is the best buffet in town so we stopped in for dinner after a long day of shopping. My first initial thought as we walked in was, hold on, why aint this place booming if it's that good. If you know buffets, a slow buffet usually means 1) the food has been sitting out too long or 2) the food ain't as good as people rave. Anyways, there was some snow out but hardly a bother if you're a true Minnesotan, which probably attributed to the slower evening. We were sat in an area of our choosing.

The food was still quite fresh to my astonishment aside from the soft shelled crabs, which were quite dry, evident of food sitting out for too long. Other food items were quite deliscious and they had a large selection of sushi to choose from. Desert and fruits were pretty much similair to what you'll find anywhere in an Asian buffet.

Overall, the food was surprisingly good and, due to a slower evening, you didn't have as many children, if any at all, running about. I'm a big family guy, but sometimes, kids get out of control.

Anyways, 4 stars for service because despite a slow evening, it took forever for waiters to refill our drinks even though they would come around and grab the dishes?... not sure how that worked.

This is my 4th encounter with the young Latino gentleman in the hibachi area. He refuses to cook my food if there is sauce in it. (That is hibachi, talk to Khans if you want decent hibachi) I’ve had the owner and multiple employees put him in his place but today was the last straw. For $24/person you can get the same with better cooks-

Side edit- the staff are awesome here other than the one young Latino.

A place where you can enjoy without being crammed next to your neighboring table. The selection is enormous and they even have a section with kiddies favorites so no need to compromise. Everyone gets what they want. The dim sum are a great add. The soup is always so hearty and the service is wonderful and respectful.

Diner Review №99

I’m in shock, and don’t even know what to say….. so, you get to pay right when you walk in, which is fully understandable and perfectly fine with me. At the same time, the device asks you for a tip, which I would always do, but after I’m done eating and in cash. Well, as we are about to start eating desert, the server brings the tray with the fortune cookies, and not one, or twice, but 3 different occasions within a 5/6 minutes span, she pushed the tray towards the center of the table, while staring at us dead in the eye and doesn’t say anything. Then walked back, looked at us right in the eye again, and said “TAKE CARE OF ME”, gave us the most awkward stare and half smile, pushes the little tray right on front of me in slow motion, then walked away again. We were like, this is our 1st time at this specific location, we were there for not even 1 hour, and although food was a bit cold for our liking, selection was very good and everything looks fresh, clean and available, price is decent given all the food options and we didn’t have to wait to be seated. That’s a place we would have gone back and even recommend to others, but honestly, it felt so awkward, we just left…. And we are not going back. Like I said, great for a quick bite, nothing bad to say, just food was a bit cold and the awkward lady.

Diner Review №109

Sushi sashimi tasted nasty but not just that I ate a desert that tasted sour so I spit it out just to realize It tasted like mold it’s the puff ball deserts I opened all the ones on my plate and mostly half of them had mold, please switch out your food time to time.

Diner Review №121

It was my family's first time going to this place. The overall food was decent, but the PHO was excellent, you can customize it to your liking which is nice. I would've given this place 4/5 stars, BUT what bothered me was the waitress that came to our table at the end and was disappointed with her tip. She told us "there are 3 of you, the tip should be bigger". She wanted a bigger tip which really bothered me. Listen, sometimes not all families can afford to pay bigger tips, and going to places like these are a privilege for a "all you can eat". I was greatly disappointed by the service.

Diner Review №122

Diner Review №123

Was going to leave tip regardless, but don't like the feel of pressure to do so while still eating.
Your doing your job I paid for food let me enjoy and when done,THEN I will decide if a tip and how much I want to give.

Diner Review №124

It was my 2 sons birthday so we decided to go here to celebrate instead of cake at home and out if the blue, they brought birthday flowers with lighting to top it off. I really appreciated this. 🙏 God bless this restaurant and I pray it stays in business for generations to come.

Great place to take family out to eat. I recommend it to friends and family. Great food and they serve pho, broth is flavorful not bad for a buffet.

Pleasant atmosphere. Took my parents from California to have dinner my mom loves the food.

Best to go during the day not during closing time.

Diner Review №157

In town from Texas with co workers.
We all agreed this was by far the cleanest and must appealing buffet we have ever been to. Don’t let the outside full you. Only issue was the entrance foyer had a slight fishy odor due to the giant aquariums. But once you enter the main restaurant, it was pleasant. The food is incredible and looks extremely fresh and clean. The sushi buffet is amazing. Will probably hit it again tomorrow.

When we going inside were all exited and ready to eat..... but.... when you come out of there YOU WALK OUT SLEEPY AND YAWNING LOL
Great delicious Seafood I recommend it and good people

Diner Review №164

I will never go here again! The only reason I went here is because my 2 sisters wanted to go here to eat, I paid $72 for the 3 of us for the buffet that wasn’t even that great the egg rolls were extra hard, the cinnamon rolls were hard as well, pizza was overly burnt, the only think I actually liked was the sausage, general Tao’s chicken and the sesame chicken, luckily the drinks came with it, I also prefer to get my own refill not have to depend on the server to get it for me, when I looked at the receipt on the bottom it says mandatory tip if 5 or more people in a party even if you pay for yourself, not only that but on it as well it says that you will be charged extra for unfinished food.

Diner Review №165

So far the best buffet in the area I've found.

Diner Review №166

I love going here, we go often and i find something new to try each time. I found MANY old favorites and NEW!

Diner Review №177

Nice place, always packed whenever I come but that's a good sign. Workers there are very nice and welcoming.

Diner Review №178

This buffet has a lot of variety of foods to choose from! They got all the main stuff you'll see at an Asian buffet. They got desserts, seafood, sushi bar, & pho! The food was good & worth it, especially when it's all you can eat! The prices for kids & adults are decent depending if you're going during lunch or dinner time. Dinner time is a little more expensive just like every other place. The place is nice & clean. Customer service was great as well! I didn't take many pictures of the food just a photo of my pho bowl.

Great place food was tasty and hot. Many options. The atmosphere was great clean restaurant and clean serving stations. They also have a hibachi and pho bar which we very much enjoyed over all 9/10 experience the only thing that bothered us was that the hibachi and pho cook didn’t understand English and my father had a hard time getting what he wanted when it came to sauce. But luckily we went over to save him. Still I would definitely go back!
