Jingdu Japanese Buffet — Restaurant in Cape Coral

We have been customers of this place for years, having a VIP discount of 10% and been happy until new management and owners bought this place. We had a few issues with new management since they have reduce the variety of food selections. But still not complaints until today. They increased the buffet price which is understandable due to the economic todays day, since everything have increased. My brother wanted to eat oysters and we had to wait for them to supply oyster in small amounts of 5 pieces, ridiculous 5 each time. I did have to continually be asking for more supply and see the owner taking them for a friend of him. Why did I have to be asking for something that should be there, because we are paying for and is included in the menu. Then I have left over since I asked for a box to pack it. Understand that needed to be charge. But Unbelievable!!!!!🤦🏻‍♀️ Owner charged me the price of a buffet $14 for 7 pieces of sushis and 3 pieces of meat. I asked him; how come he will charge me that little left over $14???? And he didn’t care about me getting upset about it. I was not pretending to take it for free but a buffet price for a little left over it was ridiculous. I cutted in pieces the VIP 10% card and told him to keep it for himself because I am not planning to go at that place with family anymore. I do not recommend this place anymore. Only go back if new owners take over. Feel sorry for the employees, I saw him today screaming to one of his employees that got me...

Not bad. We definitely didn’t take advantage of all the food, so I didn’t want to lower the rating based on own mistake, I’d say it was a solid 3.5 stars.

It’s $16.99 for adults during dinner time, so for 4 people and 2 soft drinks it was about $92 with tip.

We made the mistake for going straight to the hot foods area, so we were too full to check out the seafood and sushi area. If that is your interest, I would go there first.

I would also advise only get 1-2 bite portions first on your plate- don’t fill up because I got full really fast and I felt bad not being able to finish what I selected. Just so there’s no waste.

I liked that they had a few fresh fruits like melon and cantaloupe, grapes, and orange slices available, and also individual ice cream cups and sandwiches which was nice. I was super excited to see Jell-O, because I love Jell-O, especially the red one, bht was bummed out how hard it was (which I totally get, since it’s a buffet and it needs to hold its shape). But yeah. Was a bit sad about that lol.

I only tried one or two bites out of someone else’s sushi, it didn’t taste that great ( the rice felt and tasted weird), but I didn’t try the other nigiri options or the other rolls to say for sure.

The hot food area is good though, if you like Chinese takeout type of food that is sweet and fried, there’s lots of options for that.

Our server Li was kind and awesome too, she...

I used to love going here on regular because i love the sushi. This restraunt makes great sushi and quiet a variety. The wait staff are mostly great to! I just don't come as much anymore because all i eat is sushi, clams and coffee cake. Don't get me wrong all 3 are great. However i really want to eat other things they offer. Every time, i grab a small piece to try other things don't get me wrong. However it seems like i quickly get disappointed with the over cooked over seasoned fish that they over cook to point where i can't slit pieces with fork because its rubbery! Always hit or miss on chicken eat at own risk because its burnt, hard, under or over cooked, the pot stickers i won't bother because they dont keep in steam pot so they are always under heat lamp & super hard! The lo-main is ok and rice don't bother its always super dry and hard. I know this place can be way better if the cook or cooks would take time and care in prep of food. It saddens me that after last review nothing changed so i am hoping this more constructive thorough review may help with improvements so when i finally get over this experiance and give you one more last shot that you can finally be my favorite again. I do Miss how well it was before.. i don't know what happened but wish they could make it better by taken pride in their creations again and...
