Yoki Buffet — Restaurant in Springfield

I’m writing this review today just after visiting. The place does look better than before. It has more space and updated decor and furniture. I decided to try to eat healthy. You can’t go wrong with that. Started with 2pieces of sushi. It’s not really authentic. The wasabi was a strange blue green, not Kermit green. It didn’t taste the same as other wasabi. I had lettuce without any add ins because they didn’t have any. Then I put on Chinese mustard thinking it was yum yum dressing. There were missing many labels for the food. Lesson learned. Go with something correctly labelled or you take the risk. The other thing is that if you don’t finish the items on the plate, they consider it wasting food and will charge more than the buffet cost for any uneaten leftovers. My guest had crab Rangoon and stuffed seashells. He let us try some. It reminded me of cat food. Just the consistency and smell. I haven’t tried cat food before;) I chose baked fish, broccoli, a chicken skewer and green beans. I thought it was a good choice. Mild flavoured, but the fish that was labelled halibut was really trout or salmon. Since I had some “healthy” food, I thought I could have ice cream for dessert. Frankly, that was the best part. I don’t know if they rotate ice cream flavours but there were 6 to choose from! And you can eat as much of it as you can! The old H. Grill seemed less clean, especially the restroom. But I missed the koi…. There was a large selection of items. And they kept it refilled well. I might go...

I have dined at this restaurant three times in the last six months. The food is decent, scoring a 6 out of 10, and they offer a nice variety. The waitress was attentive and friendly, doing a great job of taking our plates and refilling our drinks.

On Sunday, March 16, 2025, at 5:30 p.m., we were seated in the first room on the left. However, the carpet was dirty, and debris was scattered across the floor. While we were eating, a woman was sweeping the floor with a broom, which indicated that cleanliness is an ongoing issue.

The bathrooms were messy, and both the women's and men's restrooms had paint scratched off the doors, making them look uninviting. Despite my previous visits over the past six months, the bathrooms have remained in the same poor condition.

Additionally, when I took a soup bowl from the buffet, it was dirty. The ice cream station also needed attention; the top required wiping down, and the inside needed to be...

We have traveled far to dine after a long business day. There is a young lady who supposed to meet the guest and seat them at their tables. She is very rude and unprofessional. There is a handicap old lady tried to wait to be seated w us but she had to use a restroom first. She was barely walking. We waited for the front door worker a long time to be seated. We decided just seat at the available table. We were about to enjoy our meal and the rude lady showed up and started lecturing us… The handicap friend and our team were asked to come to the front and wait for her to be seated. There were no line neither any customer. She was scolding us as we were bad students because we seated ourselves after using a restroom. We asked for a manager but everyone told us that there is no manager. This restaurant doesn’t have any manager. Hibachi was very delicious and guys gave us best services. Restrooms were filthy.
