It's fairly clean because it's still fairly new. They were very kind to allow me to see the food first, and the server lady was very attentive.
Not a lot of good choices compared to others in the area. There are 6 sections with hibachi and sushi against the same wall, with a floor freezer with ice cream in a cup (choc/vanilla/strawberry-nothing special); so you're basic set up. 6 sections. 1. with steamed items/baos/soups - nothing to get excited about. Maybe the baos but stuff you find in a freezer sect of the asian store. With salads and fruits. All looked fresh With stirfries, crabs, crawfish. Crabs. Some did not taste fresh. It could've been fresher. Bite into one, and it had that odd zingy taste. Some of the stir fries were done well. With carving ham/prime rib/ baked fish looked dry/fake crab w cheese on oysters, baked oysters (something was "off" about these - not cooked long enough either). I had some steak. I didn't get sick. It was hard despite it not being overcooked. Flavor pretty bland. Salt and pepper shrimp was here. Zero flavor once you took the shell off which wasnt flavored much to begin with. Big let down because i'm a huge fan at the other places. All the fried items (all of them here). Desserts. Standard chinese buffet thawed cakes. And some fruit. Basic ice cream cups.
Sushi station is standard asian buffet sushi. Same 5 ingredients, all made into different rolls. I ate the sashimi. The salmon was ok, but the tuna i touched only once for a reason- def not fresh. Due to that, i was hesitant to touch the raw oysters. There were no snow crab legs on a Sunday night. The food wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. Nothing knocked my socks off. I can now say i prefer two other buffets...
Read moreThere were some items that we haven't seen at other buffets such as squid. The sushi selection was average. They had a quiet amount of selection but for me it was average.what I would have liked to seen labels on all the sushi. so those that don't know sushi wouldn't know what they are or is not accustomed to sushi would know what they are. The hibachi was good. It was a nice selection of fresh meat and shrimp and veggies. Now whats the negative. Some of the items that I tried were cold but we did come on the end of lunch. The beginning of dinner we arrived around 4:00 4:30ish to eat so it was right before they probably were prepping for dinner. So I'm going to say that it was probably our timing as opposed to them not making the food fresh. The restaurant was really clean. I did not check the bathroom. I probably should have because you should always shoould check the bathroom cuz the cleanliness in the bathroom tells you the cleanliness of the kitchen in my opinion but I did have to go so we definitely will be back to try it at a later time at a busier time because I'm sure because it was so empty in there. There was only like five other tables that I counted that the food turnover was probably a little bit lacks because of that. The price was definitely right tho 60.00 with tip total I top 20%So I'm going to only give them four stars for food. The atmosphere was really nice though 5 stars. They really did a really nice job with the decor again. It was clean. I didn't see anything that would make me worry about the kitchen. They cleared the table quickly They refilled the drinks quickly so the service was nice. Service wa 5 stars. I would definitely go...
Read moreA Hidden Gem in the Heart of Orlando – Yami Buffet I recently had the pleasure of visiting the newly opened Yami Buffet, located right in the heart of Orlando, and I was genuinely impressed. The space is immaculate, featuring brand-new, modern furnishings and a beautifully executed renovation that creates a welcoming, upscale atmosphere. The food is simply outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and presented with care. With an incredible variety of options including seafood, meats, desserts, and more, there’s something to satisfy every palate. As a sushi lover, I was especially impressed by the sushi and sashimi selections. The sushi was incredibly fresh, melting in your mouth with every bite, and the sashimi and mussels tasted like they came straight from the ocean. The hot food offerings were equally impressive—expertly prepared and reminiscent of dishes you’d find in a high-end restaurant. Special thanks to the chef, whose professionalism and attention to detail truly elevate the dining experience. Having visited many buffets throughout the Orlando area, I can confidently say that Yami Buffet stands out above the rest. It exceeded all my expectations, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for quality, variety, and a memorable dining experience. This is a must-visit destination for...
