Fumi Buffet Sushi and Grill — Restaurant in Sumter

Absolutely wonderful experience and fantastic food! Me and my family have been to Chinese buffets all throughout the US and Fumi is by far my favorite so far!

BLUF: Dang good food, great waitstaff and overall staff, clean, and great price! 10/10 so recommend and will definitely be coming back!

Here are some of the highlights: -Even on a busy day (Father’s Day) with 100+ people, we were able to get our drinks within five minutes of being seated. -Our waitstaff paid attention to if we we were using our old plates to discard things such as crawfish parts and muscle shells, and would take the ones we weren’t using but leave the ones we used as a discard pile -The food was fresh! And by fresh I mean there was none of the meat had rubbery feeling like meat had been sitting under a hot light for a while, the vegetables were not wilted or limp, and there was always a staff member checking the food to see what was low and replacing food before it was out! I could tell the green beans were fresh as well as they were not limp and dry, and had a nice crunch but still soft and tender on the inside! -There was a wide variety of food, from classic lomein and Singapore rice noodles (not spicy) to bakes fish and apple pie! There was also a hibachi style grill and sushi bar if you wanted something outside of buffet style food! -The inside was clean and when customers left, tables were cleared immediately and wiped down for those who were waiting. -When we were done eating, there was essentially no wait for our ticket. -All of the staff was very friendly despite the chaos going on inside being a full house!

Additionally, I watched a waitress get yelled at by a child for not bringing them their drink right away (probably two minutes after asking), and she handled it with such grace and wasn’t even the same waitress that the child asked a refill from. Props to her for handling the situation so well (and props to mom for saying something and making the kid...

I decided to take my wife and I two girls out for dinner and decided to go to the new FUMI Restaurant . The Weight staff was kind, courteous and professional, but at the end when I receive the bill, I was not expecting what I paid, for. I didn’t look at the bill I walk straight to the counter to pay the bill when the cashier told me that my total was $70.37, I said, well how is that possible? For two adults, the price was $16.99 for myself and my wife, for my two girls who are six and 10 years old. The price was $10 each which came up to $19.98 total. I was also charged for four drinks that total $10.60, my subtotal came out to be $64.56 plus tax which equals $5.81 plus I tip a waitress five dollars for her kindness and her courteousness. So therefore my total was $70.37 I had no idea that I was going to pay so much for a night out at a Chinese buffet restaurant. I am totally displeased and dissatisfied with my total price. I expected to pay no more than $40 at most. I won’t be eating here again and it’s not because of the food or the service but that price was totally outrageous for a family of four If I would’ve knew that much, I would’ve went to Logan steakhouse . As I was leaving another family of four was walking in and they asked me how is it? I said I just paid these people $70.37 and it was like for what for your food and I said yes they said oh no, turned around and get back in the car, this will be the last time I dime there because it is very...

I don’t often write reviews, but Fumi Buffet Sushi and Grill definitely deserves a glowing one! It is by far the best Chinese buffet that I have ever tried. The hibachi is wonderful - it is always fresh and the sauce has a perfect, almost sweet flavor - not overly salty like some others I have tried. The sushi is fresh and they offer a variety of types including eel as well as tempura shrimp. At dinner, they offer more expensive sea food items, including crabs, and the Coconut Shrimp is absolutely delicious. They also offer a selection of fresh fruits, baked goods, and ice cream. The staff here are so welcoming and friendly; there are always smiles on their faces. The restaurant is always clean and the food is hot. With its warm atmosphere and tasteful music, it is a great place to eat with family and friends. Even though this buffet is forty minutes from my house, I choose time and time again to return because it is so much better than some of the other buffets near Columbia, SC. I give this buffet my highest...
