Ichiban Buffet — Restaurant in Philadelphia

Especially when I couldn't cook much due to injury, I would sometimes stop by for lunch. I mean it's affordable, you get to eat as much as you want, and it's usually not too busy during lunch hours...

Cons: No rotating menu. The lunch and dinner menus are exactly the same. The only different is the price. Alsooo, don't expect much in terms of food service. One time, they served a frozen cheesecake. It was not sliced at all.

Compared to the previous owner the old one, every aspect—from the quality of the buffet to the overall service—has seen remarkable improvement. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to enjoy a fantastic meal paired with outstanding...
