Habachi Buffet

My husband and I go here all the time. What brings us back is the sushi. I have only had one time where the sushi wasn’t fresh out of the many times we have gone. Good quality isn’t the greatest but they do fill often. You can just tell it is cheap quality. Service isn’t the greatest either but then again it’s a buffet. If you are looking for a place with good service then don’t go to a buffet. There has been a couple times where we go to grab a plate and there is still leftover food on it. That does make me slightly question the cleanliness of the business. Overall not a bad place for the price at all.

My new favorite Asian food buffet place. I have never seen a buffet this big… it was huge, I mean half of the building was buffet tables. Including a Sushi Bar that was pretty good. There was too much food to review each item but everything was great, self serve prime rib and other American dishes which I mainly ignored. ALL of the other dishes were pretty good, The squid stood out for me it was Tempura style and very good. The other dishes I had more than I should have was the Korean Steak. Definitely coming back to this one. At 10 bucks a person this was a great place for lunch or dinner

I’ve been here for a couple of times and most of the services weren’t great. If I could rate this a zero, I would do it.
I’m a Chinese person, and obviously those people who work and own that restaurant are also Chinese. I don’t know if they knew that I understand Fuzho Dialect, but I do. One of them was talking to another waitress and she called me fat behind my back. The other waitress started snickering and agreeing with her. After a while, I see them staring at me whilst I was eating my food. Wow, rude waitresses and sucky service. I only took a plate of Crawfish, is it really a big deal?
We came in about 15 minutes before dinner time and they already switched some of their foods to Dinner Only, which narrowed our food selection to a few choices.
I notice that the Owner of this restaurant and the workers there keep staring at us, which made us uncomfortable and also awkward.
I found a hair in the big tub of Vanilla Ice Cream, which was disgusting. They seriously need to check the ice cream once in a while. The Mint Chocolate Chip Ice cream was empty, and they didn’t refill it.
The entire time I was there, the sushi plates were pretty much empty. This was a big disapointment since I love sushi.
The cup I got for my water was dirty.
The Beef short rib was tough and overcooked. I couldn’t even get it off the bone.
I don’t really recommend this restaurant. Really poor service.

Used to be the best Chinese buffet in the flint township area … Now it sucks and I won’t ever go back ! Food quality is HORRIBLE, sits out for hours, has no taste, is old. Workers are rude and unpleasant, restaurant is DIRTY!!! Heard a rumor they had a cockroach issue; after my last visit; I BELIEVE IT !!! I’ll be going to the Hong Kong buffet down the road from now on. This place needs a health inspection and needs to be shut down !

Always have good food and service. The food is for the most part always fresh. Sometimes I don’t trust the sushi and meat sitting out, but other times it’s great.

Food isn’t bad although it does depend on the time you get there. Ordered a Mt. Dew tasted like water and i looked at the glass after i took a sip and the cup was dirty. I went to get some prime rib and it was still raw inside with blood coming out of it still. Was here for over an Hour and the waitress kept walking by. Just like any of these restaurants they are good a few times then the doors are locked tight. Shut them all down. «Updating this 2 hours later» I’m feeling pretty crappy got the runs and puking. I have food poisoning.

I used to love this place but the last few times it has been seriously slack. This last time, I went with my family at lunch time. It was Tuesday so they were not really busy. I go primarily for the sushi. However, I am alergic (deathly so) to shell fish, so lunch works well since they tend to put out the cheaper veggie sushi and spicy tuna and that sort of thing that I can eat. Well, this time, there was ZERO sashimi out at all and really very little else. One side of the sushi bar was completely empty! All the trays were empty or only had one or two things on them (see pictures). I asked the sushi chef if he would be making more to refill the many (4 – 6) empty platters on the bar and he said they would be filled in a few minutes. We spent an hour there and they WERE NEVER FILLED!!! We were sitting close to the sushi bar, so I kept an eager eye out to see if he had filled any and he had not. Total dissappointment! Also, and this is a real kicker here, I asked the chef if there was shell fish in one of the rolls that had tempura around it and he assured me there was not. Well, since I can die from eating a singel shrimp, I decided I would cut one open to investigate and what was in there? IMMITATION CRAB!!! Immitation crab has crab meat in it and is def NOT SAFE for a person with a shellfish allergy to eat. I politely told him this and he said he didn’t know that crab was a shellfish! I kid you not! I asked him to repeat it just to be sure that is what he said. This place is going to wind up killing someone with their ignorant sushi chef. I hate to say it but I probably won’t go back again.

sushi is outstanding. buffet choices are delicious. managers, hosts/​hostesses and wait staff are always kind and polite. James, Anna and Penny are sweet and fun.
went w/​my mom & gma the other day. mom was shocked at how inexpensive the bill was. she thought that we were under charged by accident. lol. had the pleasure of telling my mom, «I told you so!» (-:
we happened to be celebrating my bday. staff made me a cute bday plate and sang. sushi chef made a bunny from an egg and it was displayed as if eating a little salad! also cake w/​candle surrounded by mandarin oranges with sprinkles!
I wonder if some of the less positive reviews are confusing Hibachi w/​Fortune Buffet? It’s ¹⁄₈ mile away on Linden. not nearly as nice. price/​atmosphere/​food MUCH BETTER AT HIBACHI.

The sever was good. Food was pretty terrible even for a buffet. Doubt I’ll eat there again.

Wanted to share my experience here, as I felt tho the place was nice and the spread attractive, I felt it was subpar even for this style of restaurant.
I arrived at 3:20pm, so just before dinner transition, which was happening around me as I picked things. Some things are marked dinner only, and share the same tables as lunch items. Could potentially be confusing.
Even for a buffet place, it takes shortcuts everywhere. In the sushi, they use the mini micro shrimp and expect you not to notice that they did not cut up real shrimp. The taste of the sushi rice was extremely gummy, take that for what you will.
The hot and sour soup had zero vinegar making it only hot, the potstickers were mushy and tasteless, the crab and cheese (their version of crab rangoons) were nothing but sugary purée — no crab detected, the general tso’s was pineapple chicken — and it was just lots of small things added up. The rest of the food I had was standard Chinese buffet.
On the plus side, they did have dim sum that actually tasted great. They also had miso soup on the buffet which was unusual and welcome.
The final issue is it is fairly dimly lit, and a singular high wattage lamp is directly over my table, and the interior has food stains and looks like it has not been cleaned in a while.
The men’s room was gas station horror movie with the single fluorescent flickering light — it looked run down compared to the nice interior — like they remodeled the main floor but didn’t follow through to the restrooms. Like I said, shortcuts.
I’m an out of towner, so I have no vendetta, just pointing out my experience. The staff was prompt and attentive, no complaints there.
This was the only asian place (I tend to avoid buffets when possible) within thirty miles open at the time.
Lunch came to 7.41 — so price is more than reasonable.
Hope this helps!

Absolutely the best buffet in town! excellent sushi, Mongolian barbecue and a wide variety of dishes! Nice ambience. Offer a variety of ways of saving some money on your dinner

Great sushi bar, excellent non-​sushi choices for those nit interested in sushi. Prompt service every time! [Currently called Habachi]

I went on Sunday around lunch time for my first and last trip here. I like going to Japanese and Chinese buffets, especially the ones that have fresh sushi, so I made an effort to make my wife take us here when we were in the Flint area.
This was a mistake.
If you have been to buffets that serve sushi, then there is nothing particularly spectacular about this one. Fuji Japanese Buffet and Tokyo Lounge, are around 30 minutes away and are way better. I don’t have very many good things to say about this one:
Pros: trance/​dance music playing while I’m pigging out. I don’t know what it is, but it puts me in the buffet mood.
Cons: everything else…
I will focus much of my review on the sushi, as I’m all about the sushi and everything else here was pretty meh. They are not lacking in variety. When I was here on a Sunday, they had different kinds of shrimp, clams, salmon, prime rib, standard chinese-​american fare, etc. Only thing lacking was crab, which you have to pay $ 4/​pound for (dine-​in only in addition to your buffet bill).
As for the sushi, it was relatively good quality in comparison to sushi served at other buffets. Again, if you want better sushi, go to Fuji Japanese Buffet (mjore $$) or Tokyo Lounge. Here, I encountered the problem where they did not refill the premium sushi fast enough. This happens a lot when you are the kind of person that wants tuna, salmon, yellowtail, or something that is actually fish. I suspect there are buffets in Toledo that have put my picture in some sort of area database to inform the sushi chefs to cut down on production when I show up, but that’s just speculation. If you wanted california rolls and other cheap stuff, then it was definitely there. But for the sashimi sushi (my wife likes salmon and I like tuna), you’d best go elsewhere. When I got there, I saw 3 salmon and 3 tuna rolls available. Feeling bad about the person behind me, I grabbed all of them. I expected them to change out the plate sometime soon.
Twenty minutes later, 2 more rolls of salmon and tuna were on the plates. Great, oh no, this other guy just grabbed them. Okay, 10 minutes go by and basically I just play this ridiculous cat and mouse game waiting for the sushi to come out and hoping no one else gets it before I do. Eventually I asked the sushi chef to put out more tuna and salmon. This doesn’t work and I stay there for a bit, picking at the other non-​sushi items that were, though quite diverse in appearance, were pretty homegenous in flavor: stale, old, msg-​y. Oh, wait, if you’ll excuse me, I just saw 2 more tuna rolls, I gotta go grab them before that other guy gets them!

This place is currently called Habachi. My family and I always go when they first open, when everything is nice and fresh. I would recommend them for lunch. I have not had a problem yet. The wait staff is friendly and when I asked what was in one of the sushi rolls, she went and asked what was in it for me. I am not real big on sushi, but I actually found sushi I like. They have a big variety of dishes. If you can’t find something to eat, well you are just too picky.
