Santo's Buffet Boca Raton — Restaurant in Boca Raton

This place is absolutely AMAZING! A friend invited us over and We almost said no due to the 40 minute drive required from where we live. GOOD THING WE DID NOT SAY NO! Because the place put a great impression on us and immediately became our favorite casual restaurant! Decoration is a excellent looks and smells new! The customers are beautiful mostly young adults well presented! The service is great and performed by a young crew of well mannered, Polite, trained, silent, compenatrate, clean, friendly and glad to serve attitude staff! Meat station guy could use some more training but even though service there is a 99.9 satisfaction. The place offers real cloth napkins and has a choice of sodas too! The food is abundant lost count of how many variety of kinds of different dishes are there! CRAZY! Even if you only try to taste one of each dish you will not finish your plate! Sushi is well balanced fish x rice ratio Everything is well cooked well prepared planty and delicious! You WILL NOT Find too much rice here too much salt there.... no! This is a great food place! And I am a fat picky customer very tendentious to complain at the minimum disservice. Beer is ice cold too. I realized that even the 2 mgrs were hands on all the time! Young professionals indeed! Hard working boys! The hostess was all smiles VERY happy to help and answered all of our questions perfectly and knowledgeable. So.... My only 2 negatives for the night will be: Bathroom absolutely needs more attention And The meat station guy can smile and be more cordial like the rest of the team. . And my Tip for the night is: Even when your place starts to empty up you cannot relax and take it for granted! There are still customers here and there. Time to relax your guard is when you have the doors locked...

My friend and his wife came to visit from out of town and I made the mistake of taking them to this place for lunch yesterday. it was our first time on this one because we always go to the one in Coral Springs by 441. Worst dinning experience we have had in a long time 😵‍💫Imagen flies flying around the sushi area and landing on top of food. Also the food looked old and nasty 🤢 and the worst part was when we told our waitress about the flys on the sushi she started giving us bad attitude and replied that “it was inevitable that flies were flying around the food inside the restaurant” 😵‍💫 I was left speechless and embarrassed by bringing my fiends to such of place. On top of that our waitress charged my credit card a 26 dollar tip without saying anything at the end. 🙃 Needless to say We will NEVER come to eat here again even though we live in Boca now. I believe the city Health department should seriously look into all of this restaurant violations before they seriously hurt someone with food poisoning and salmonella. Therefore I don’t recommend this restaurant to anybody looking for a good safe place to eat. 👎👎👎

La peor experiencia que hemos tenido en un restaurante en largo tiempo. Con moscas volando sobre la comida y mal trato de la mesera cuando se les comento lo que estaba pasando. Solo nos dijo con mala educacion que era inevitable que las moscas estubieran volando sobre el buffet dentro del restaurante 🤮🤮 y a la hora de pagar nos cobro una propina de 26 dolares sin decir nada. Mas NUNCA en nuestras vidas visitaremos de nuevo este lugar y pienso que el departamento de salud deberia investigar el restaurante antes de que alguien salga seriamente enfermo por todas las normas que se estan violando. Por favor si quiere cuidar su salud alejese...

The atmosphere is generally pleasant — everything looks decent, the area is upscale, so I expected higher-quality products. At the entrance, I was greeted by a beautiful young lady with a gentle appearance, very pleasant and welcoming — her warm reception, I’d say, created most of the positive atmosphere in the place.

Service is about 4 stars, but the quality of the food leaves much to be desired. Many dishes were simply inedible:

Shrimp — strong smell, not fresh.

Meat (steak pieces) — overcooked, dry, and hard to chew.

Sushi and rolls — often had a stale aftertaste, as if they had been sitting for some time.

Crab — mediocre, without the flavor and freshness I’ve experienced at Mizumi.

Desserts — even the sponge cake pastries had a soggy base, as if they had been thawed from the freezer, which ruined the texture.

In taste and quality, the products are very similar to a Chinese buffet where admission costs $13–14, but here the price is about twice as high. I have a strong sense of smell and tried many items — while the seasonings and sauces masked some of the flaws, it was still clear that the filling in some sushi and other dishes was not fresh.

For comparison, at Mizumi I get full with just one or two plates because the food there is fresh, delicious, and every dish is enjoyable. Here, not getting much pleasure from the flavor, I ended up trying more different dishes in hopes of finding something good — I ate more but enjoyed it less.

In conclusion — a place with a nice atmosphere and a very beautiful, pleasant young lady with a gentle appearance at the entrance, but the food does not match the price or...
