Shiki Buffet & Hibachi Grill - Cicero — Restaurant in Cicero

I recently visited a Chinese buffet and had a generally positive experience with the food, but the service left something to be desired. The buffet spread was impressive, offering a wide variety of dishes, from classic favorites like General Tso’s chicken and lo mein to more unique options like crab legs and sushi. Everything I tried was flavorful and well-prepared, with fresh ingredients that really stood out. The variety and quality of the food alone made the experience enjoyable.

However, my visit was slightly marred by the staff’s pushy behavior when it came to tips. After the meal, the waitresses seemed overly insistent about how much to leave, even making comments about the amount they expected. While I understand tipping is important, the pressure felt uncomfortable and detracted from the otherwise relaxed dining experience. I prefer to decide the tip amount based on the level of service provided, but this felt a bit like a forced obligation.

In the end, while the food was excellent and satisfying, the aggressive approach to tipping made me hesitant to return. I hope the management addresses this issue so that future guests can enjoy the meal without feeling uncomfortable about...

Today we went to this buffet thinking we were going to have an enjoyful lunch....everything was fine untill mid plate my dad felt something in his mouth pulled it out and it was a piece of metal looked like it was a piece of dish scrubber. We didn't say anything ok then we continue eating and I felt a hair... looked in my noodles and of course the freaking hair was tangled in my noodles. I couldnt eat anymore disgusting. We went to complain to lady at door register she started yelling across the place in her language to the other workers, who knows what she was saying. All she offered was 10% back on our $50 charge. My dad was not happy with her solution. Again in her language started mumbeling who knows what, i told her check ur cameras and watch us pull the stuff out our mouths if you dont believe us. Then shes like only one person i can refund. It's a very dirty place, their soda machines are also very filthy. We will never return to this place...

The food is more or less good, there isn't much Chinese food, there's a lot of seafood that's good, the waitresses only come to remove the plates and the person in front was somewhat rude, when she asked me how many we were, I said two adults and my son, but he is not going to eat, he just wanted a drink for himself, she asked his age and she charged me, it seemed expensive but for the seafood I thought the price was right, when I was already sitting down eating I saw the receipt and saw that I she charged as if my son were going to eat, I just finished eating and we left the place. I didn't leave a tip because my son's charge seemed excessive and I'm never going back, it's not worth driving an hour to come...
