Jasmine Tokyo

It’s okay. Could be better. Went during dinner and food is a little on the cold side. Is over $ 50 for two people. For this price I would recommend going to a Restaurant instead. They do have prime rib and crab legs but the quality is sub par. If it were cheaper if say go for it.

Huge selection of food and it is all pretty good! I mean it’s a buffet so of course it’s not the best but they have just about everything, traditional and American style, tons of sushi, a carving station and seafood. Overall, one of the best Chinese buffets I’ve been to. The people are nice and it’s clean so that’s all I need in a buffet.

So, the summary here is basically this place is pretty good. Give it a try.
So they have two prices, cheaper for lunch & more expensive for dinner (like twenty something a person). TIP: drinks are not included in the price. Be careful with that. Been surprised by that before.
Food quality is pretty good. Some items are better than others. I liked their fried foods & dishes. They are tasty. But some stuff is hit or miss like shrimp. Not very fresh or tasty.
Sushi: this place is just meh sushi. The fish quality is ok, but overall don’t come here for the sushi. Not the main thing here.
Lots of great meat like ribs, sausage, stir fry, etc. You can definitely get great value from this place. Plus, the dessert is decent too.
Overall, pretty good place. Not vegas buffet obviously, but try this place once. Maybe you’ll like it & come back.

This was probably one of the best buffets I went to in Arizona.
I usually go to the pacific or hibachi grill for buffet (Don’t ever go to Red Wok!!!). The sushis are mostly stuffed with rice in a buffet so people get full real easy. (Secret Marketing). However their sushi has a perfect small size and it tasted great. They also have udon or soba if you ask the people on the barbeque grill.
I also enjoyed the mango icecream. Go for the mango really. Most of their deserts were amazing.
Their price is a bit high but its worth it.

This place is very interesting…
The food is alright. Lets talk about service first since that puts your mood into eating.
You pretty much a get that simple greeting and the hostess seated us right away. Our waitress (don’t know her name) was eh… she was alright. She seemed really tired but come on… I had to keep reminding her to get us our drinks. I needed water many times and I had to constantly remind her. She wasn’t very attentive.
The food was alright. I first got some oysters and that was it… I didn’t see them again until I’m done eating!!! Seriously? They need to put out more oysters or anything in general if it’s out. The sashimi tasted alright. I didn’t taste so fresh… :/​as for the cooked food allot of them tasted really old like its been out for a long time! Some food literally I had to spit it out… Anyways, for the price I payed… The food, I expect it to be allot better since they have a very large sushi area. Kinda disappointed… I would come back again… maybe. not…

Well we spent 200 dollars on a meal for 8 of us the
3 year old ate maybe a couple ounces of food and I believe it’s over charged for what you get. Alot of the food seemed like it was sitting out there in the buffet for awhile and cold and old. bummer

Monday lunch.
Couldn’t fool me with the redundant puny sushi rolls stuffed with the same miniscule ingredients. Tempura batter tasteless and the shrimp not cleaned well within. The last time we went was when they first opened, I guess they’ve managed to stay in business by serving lackluster food somehow.
I’ve never left a buffet on an empty belly until now. I’m going to top off somewhere else.

The food was only ok, and considering the price, it was good that I got 10% off with Check-​In through Unilocal. The place was huge, very spacious and plenty of seating. The buffet was extra big compared to most. Lots of various dishes; however, many were only lukewarm and the Sushi was primarily rolls of various names/​preparations. Not a lot of sashimi or nigiri items. The service was ok as well. I wouldn’t necessarily go out of my way to dine here.

This place was okay… The sushi was actually better than the Chinese food I tried (I tried the Walnut Chicken). I also tried some Panko Chicken which was good as well. The Tempura Vegetables were just a bit oilier than I like.
I was with a larger group and they all seemed pretty pleased.
I had some of the ice cream for dessert — small bits if green tea, mango and coconut. That was delicious.
I might give it another shot — but typically for Chinese food I like it freshly prepared rather than on a buffet. Can’t beat the price and they give you a discount if you check in!

15% service charge plus 15% gratuity included in a bill. Really ?
We had a coupon for 20% off the bill for 4 people our bill came up 112 $ after coupon .
Really not worth the food .
Series was really slow, she was bringing our drinks one by one it took us to 20 min to get our drinks.
Sushi variety was really small aseptically for me cause I m allergic to shell fish and almost all sushi had shrimp in them.
The only think that was testy is duck and mango moose.

They need to rename this place Jasmine GOATyo… because it’s definitely the greatest Asian buffet of all time in the Scottsdale area. If you want to eat yourself silly, this is your place. Also, it’s in an old Claim Jumper building, and they basically kept the décor identical. It’s amazing. If you dock it for that then you need to stop taking yourself so seriously.
I’ve been probably 10 times and I’m literally never disappointed. All you can eat sushi, prime rib, crab, shrimp, ribs, and other asian dishes like honey walnut shrimp, teriyaki chicken, etc. All for a pretty decent price ($ 23 for dinner at the time of this writing). Anyone rating it poorly needs to understand «IT’S A BUFFET PEOPLE», Emeril isn’t back there bamming up pots and pans. It’s a buffet, not Maestro’s make your expectations accordingly.
You want to spend $ 40 on sushi, go for it. Or you can go here, pay less, and get the same kinds of sushi with all the other aforementioned items. Throw in that they always have coupons that you can use, and you have a 5 star rating from me!

I was treated by one of my clients who loves this Buffet & I did see some Asians eating here: service was prompt, efficient & sweet. Nice that there was a 10% Unilocal check-​in offer. I’m normally not a Buffet eater as I my mom would attest to (saying I don’t eat enough to make it worthwhile lol) because I generally like my food freshly prepared & piping hot or cold.
The fruit & salad areas were fresh. Some of the hot foods (like broccoli/​beef, walnut shrimp, sausage & ribs at hot bar was good). Udon or Soba noodle soup was made fresh & cooks was kind enough to bring it over to us because we already checked on it once but then forgot when eating. Sushi was so-​so. Lots of varieties but mostly average tasting (wasn’t bad but wasn’t the best I’ve tasted) food. Ambience was clean & nice because they integrated the old Claim Jumper décor with Asian influences. I like it when someone UPCYCLES.
Would I go again possibly but not first choice because FYI: for the price though; you can eat at Wandering Horse Buffett for less on weekdays for far better quality food.

Overall experience, sub-​par food at a premium price.
We were really excited to try Jasmine Tokyo. The other reviews (tons of reviews from Elites as well) really sold us on this place. The pictures of beautiful sushi, hot dishes, fresh raw oysters, and the made-​to-​order Udon/​Soba soups are really impressive. As we discovered, looks can be deceiving.
As other reviews have mentioned, Jasmine’s atmosphere is quite odd. You’ll feel like you are in a steakhouse, which isn’t far from the truth because they have a carving station with over-​cooked prime rib, sausage, and ribs. You’ll soon forget about the décor, once you pass the beautiful spread of sushi and an extensive buffet.
On to the food: Everything is cold, stale, and tasteless. Cold sushi and salad bar items are good. However, cold food that is supposed to be warm is off-​putting. The only warm food is the stuff served at the carving station, which was actually overcooked from sitting in a sunlamp for, what tasted like, weeks. We tried most of the items on the «warm bar» and didn’t like anything. In fact, I’ve never spit out so much food at any buffet. Next, we both tried the Udon/​Soba soups; the soups ended up being half eaten, with the two of us trying a quarter of each.
Vegetarians might enjoy their experience at Jasmine Tokyo more than we did, because half the bar seemed to cater to cold vegetable/​fruit options. However, the intentionally cold carnivore items were just as bad as their «warm» counterparts. The sushi, despite being beautiful, was horribly stale. It tasted like it’d been sitting out since the night before. I’m a huge fan of raw oysters, but couldn’t bring myself to try them here. They had a horrible smell with a white liquid that had congealed to the side of the mollusk.
The only good thing that we can compliment Jasmine on is their employees. Our waitress was extremely friendly, checked on us often, and bused our half full dishes away without complaint.
Our guess is that a lot of the reviews are from patrons that ate during a busy time. We visited at 4:30pm with very few people in the restaurant. Maybe, if the place is busy, the food might get replaced quickly resulting in fresher, warmer (if applicable), and taster items. However, considering the experience we had, plus the final cost of the meal (Even after the 10% Unilocal discount, the buffet was twice what we’d normally expect), we would have a very hard time giving it a second chance.

The service was excellent. Our waiter was incredibly attentive and even put my sons soda in a to go cup when we were leaving since he hadn’t finished it.
The food was just ok. I didn’t find the selection of hot prepared items to be all that big. There is a large salad bar, some prepared hot items, soup, a carving station, sushi, and the dessert. There was nothing that I thought was amazing but I also didn’t try anything that was horrible. We are not sushi eaters so there is just no way to justify the price of this place for us. $ 76 for 3 for dinner is just too much for a Chinese buffet. Thankfully I found an online coupon to bring it down to $ 67.00 but even that was too much.
I doubt we will be back.

Went back to Jasmine Tokyo for lunch today. I went because I like it the first time that I dined there.
After today, I don’t think that me and my daughter are going back. I will not recommend it to others either.
The sushi — were pathetic. It did not seem fresh and it did not taste fresh. Remember that we were there at 11:30. You would think that it will taste fresh. Second, it feels like you have to always wait for the chef to replenish the food bar at all times. This would include the
TEMPURA BAR. They fill it with vegetable and you can count the shrimp.
Over all, I can find better place to eat lunch.
JASMINE TOKYO please step up and improve your food serving !
UN-​HAPPY CUSTOMER !

I truly recommend this place!
For starters, I do not usually go to buffets but I really enjoy going here!
My father took me and my grandma here for lunch today and it was amazing. Great for everyone and a very lovely environment. The food is very fresh and the staff is friendly and very attentive to our needs. I was actually trying to avoid shellfish due to a recent food allergy and there was still so much variety of things that I could eat that I did not feel limited at all. The food is fresh and not too salty. I can’t even say what was my favorite thing I ate here was because all of it was great! It was such a nice surprise to see that they offer 10% off the total bill for checking in on Unilocal too! That was a sweet deal!
Thank you for such a wonderful lunch Jasmine Tokyo! Looking forward to the next time I am in AZ to come here again!

I don’t know how many reviews I’ve written for Jasmine Tokyo. I keep updating my reviews because we keep coming back! However many years they have been open is however long we’ve been going.
To tell you how great the staff there is and I hope they read my reviews, once my son and I went to eat, he was soooo tired, after he got his food, he basically fell asleep at the booth while I ate. The waitress was so kind, she did not charge me for him not eating his food. Then we went and ran errands and he was soooo upset that he didn’t get to have lunch at his favorite restaurant, we had to go back there for dinner– and I don’t remember what happened– it seems like with kids things unexpected can happen, they came to the rescue AGAIN!!!
Not only is this restaurant my son’s favorite restaurant, it’s become my favorite too since the staff is so great.
We’ve been coming here to ear for many years– aside from the sushi, I really look forward to their vegetarian selections. I think this place is better than many of the salad bars out there. Not only do they have a great, fresh salad bar, they have over 20 selections of vegetarian dishes to choose from. All delicious and freshly made.
I love, LOVE, L.O.V.E. this place and I’m happy to write that each time we’ve been there, it’s packed with happy customers!!!

Honestly, the best thing this place serves are crispy chicken wings. They’re really excellent.
We were completely unfamiliar with the area but didn’t want to eat at a mall, a chain or any place that had a sister location in Vegas. That basically gave us a handful of choices and then we had to weed out everything that was tapas and/​or $$$. We ended up here on 09÷20÷15, a Sunday, for lunch.
Weekend lunch is $ 14.99 pp. It comes with all you can eat sushi & hot buffet. I filled up on walnut chicken, walnut shrimp, seaweed salad & chicken wings.
— Egg drop soup tastes like a weird plastic.
— Deserts tastes like nothing.
— Nigiri had an old fishy taste.
— Rolls were OK.
— BBQ tasted of food coloring.
Service was prompt & very good. Unfortunately, the food won’t warrant a repeat visit.

Asian Buffet in the old Claim Jumper location around Shea and Scottsdale Road.
Good selection of sushi and Tempura. Depends when you go how fresh the sushi is. Go when it is busy and the sushi is fresh because of the turnover.
The meat area is very good with prime rib, chinese bbq ribs and sausage. Prime rib was actually juicy and very well prepared considered it is a buffet. Chinese bbq ribs are well prepared and very authentic.
There is a selection of shrimp and crab legs but the crab legs don’t look like high quality.
There are of course the usual fried rice, chow mein, mayo shrimp, Chicken teriyaki along with an array of desserts and ice cream.
My favorite is the salt and pepper shrimp with the head. You have to tear off the head and eat the shrimp with the shell and legs where all the flavor is at.
Beverages are not included.
Overall pretty good food and will be back again.

I was looking for a place to take the team for lunch. My team consists of five hungry boys still in their early 30’s and they eat a lot. Looking around on Unilocal,I found this place and decided to try after reading some reviews. One of the reviewer was on my Unilocal list and I find his recommendation to be good. If he is recommending it, must be good as I am not a buffet person either.
Lunch buffet price was $ 11.99 per person. The buffet price doesn’t include drinks.
They have fresh salad section, huge Chinese section, meat/​seafood section, sushi section and desert section. Selection was so large, no way I get to try every food, I hovered around first to make some assessments on what to try first.
I tried some sushi, seafood, Chinese, salad, and finished with desert.
I think my favorite was Xiaolongbao from Chinese dim sum section. It was made well, I thought I could just eat that.
They also have Kimuchi, and their kkakdugi Kimuchi.
Their ice cream looked so yummy but I chose to try several of cakes. Can’t pick my favorite as all were good.
Needless to say, I ate too much and had to skip my dinner that day.
My team enjoyed the food, I think we all left thinking we could use a nap after lunch.
I would like to come back again for some food I didn’t get to try this time
