Ichiban Buffet

When in Springfield, Missouri and you want a Good Asian Food Buffet, this is the best place to go hands down, Service, food, flavor labels on the buffet line and friendly faces, it beats the other local one by so far.

Love coming here! So many options and always delicious! Sushi is good, and we love the coconut shrimp! Great hot & sour soup as well.

Definitely not one of the best buffets in town. I was hoping for calamari that was cooked right but instead bit into a cold tough piece. The sushi was OK but most dishes were nothing short of disappointing. Ingestion ensued for the entire family following the meal. We will definitely not be back. There are too many other options in Springfield.

Definitely not the best in town. Came in for lobster to discover slop. The rest of their food was meh to bad.

I always have loved this place to eat at, but even more so it has higher quality food when they are busy. Would recommend to eat here when they have a full parking lot.

Typical cheap buffet food. Only good things they had was the cheese mussles and the ice cream (which wasn’t even soft serve). Came here cuz it was the best bang for ur money for a 8+ ppl. Wouldn’t come back if it was just me. Service is very slow as well for a 1:30 pm lunch.

Good variety of food for a good price.
Crab on the weekends. Lobster was super yummy!

Fresh sushi, great variety one the buffets, and very accommodating for our party of 15. We all loved it.

I have been going to this buffet place before they changed the owner. They are starting to make nice variety of sushi. My favorite food at this place is crawfish in Chinese seasoning. My fiancé loves the coconut shrimp here. They have crab leg dinners buffet on Friday and Saturday. Recently, they add stir fried Lobster in their menu; however it’s only the part that doesn’t have lots of meat thought. The price is reasonable. There are also couple discount flyers you can find.

So so food, hot waiting area & poor to respond upon entering. The tables were a bit too crowded, but the real disappointment was the nickel & diming of additional food items after you pay for the buffet. Certain foods were available only for an extra fee but it was unclear how to keep track of them. Would not go again, as there are about 6 other Chinese & Japanese restaurants within a couple miles.

Save your money, don’t waste your time. This place stinks. never eating here again. Food was luke warm, my stomach was unsettled the rest of the day after eating lunch here. Go to hong kong or lil tokyo, it’s way better than this place.

I’ve eaten here a few times and my most recent visit was less than satisfying to say the least. Our server greeted us with a quick «Hi.» And asked what we wanted to drink then pointed at everyone else individually and waited for them to say what they wanted to drink, which I thought was rude. But then to the buffet, the food was okay. It was pretty dry and the sushi was incredibly hard. I could just tell it had been a slow day for them because they hadn’t replaced anything I had on my plate for a while. It’s
A hit or miss for this place when it comes to quality.
But this is where I’m going to explain my sincere dislike for this place. Every single time I go here the service is always just terrible. So rude and curt. This most recent visit me and all of my friends paid and we were just sitting at the table and chatting when the server walked up and grabbed all of our credit card slips and checked the tip AT OUR TABLE. My boyfriend forgot to
sign his slip and he just put a pen on top of it and pointed at the empty signature line. I was appalled.

First off, I want to say that this place has changed its name 3 times. that being said I went to this restaurant with an open mind for a friend’s birthday party. As soon as we started to go eat at the buffet we saw food that looked interesting in the way you don’t normally see sweet & sour chicken and general chicken. the chicken was chewy and felt cold and uncooked and all of the dessert looked like it had sat there for longer than 6 hours. whip cream started to get waxy. Me and my wife left there with sick stomachs and felt we had been poisoned. The place is clearly unsanitary and not to mention the women’s bathroom sign having a sign to put all toilet paper in the trash. I can’t believe people actually enjoy this place in my opinion.

As far as chinese buffets in springfield go this one is the best. But be careful because they offer way to much and cannot keep constant track of the food on the steam tables. And I have encoutered the sushi being out so long the rice dried up too many times. Best times to eat here are when you get off work round 5. Thats the only peak this resturante seems to offer in quality. Oh and avoid the squid on the havachi bar. It never ends well I can promise you that

A typical asian buffet with sushi, mongolian, and various hot entrees; quality is better than others in the west st. louis area. service is attentive. For the lunch weekend price of less than $ 10, this is a very good deal.

The worst Chinese buffet i have been too. Food is cold and flavorless and made me feel sick while eatting it… I tried multiple items and all were terrible. To top it off my «fortune cookie» was empty. Will not be going back.

This is by far the best Chinese buffet in the Springfield area. Wide variety of foods to pick from on a large buffet. The restaurant that was located here before was the worst but the new owners have really shaped things up.

The new owners here have experience with a few other restaurants in Springfield. This is by far their best business. My wife and I have been here maybe three times since they opened and each time is better than the last. My wife is Chinese, and very particular. She loves this place. Give it a try, I think it is the best buffet in Springfield.
