"I have been going to Hibachi for years but that will stop. 1- Food is mostly cold and when I serve myself from the "cooked" section of the buffet: Shrimp, broccoli and beef, and other items and go the grill section to make my food hot, the guy at the grill area has a very bad attitude. It's not like there is any cross contamination going on or something. 2- Tipping is forced by your server who visits your table maybe twice, and will follow you to the cashier and wait until you leave a tip. I try to be a generous tipper and realize it's hard work but dislike this new mandate. I will not tip if it's forced and will tip if I feel I've been properly served and if it has been a pleasant experience; something that has been lacking from Hibachi!!! I will be going to another Chinese buffet even it it requires a bit a travel"

"This place has changed names and management so many times. I like this new look of open space. The food selection is not that great, but the taste is not bad. I have an issue though when a Chinese restaurant messes up a noodle dish, that is a red flag for me. The Singaporean-style noodles was soggy and tasteless. I'm sorry. The hot tea was quite hot, I know my mom would be very happy with this. Otherwise sip slowly and at your own risk. I originally started the review with 2 stars but I gave it another chance and went for a second round with food choices I did not get at the first go. Chicken wings had a light and crispy batter and was still juicy inside- so good. Their charbroiled chicken was good. Cooked how I like it- charred. The seafood bake also good. For the dessert options- my fave was the sesame ball with red bean filling and fried plantains. The soft serve is minus the creamy texture, it's actually icy. This was good with the fried sugar donut. Pizza was gummy, but dip it in the ice cream and it's a whole new experience. Parking was adequate although I've experienced in the past it could get busy being that this is located in a plaza shared with many other businesses."
