We found this buffet last year during our visit to Disney, and really enjoyed it! So we went for lunch on our trip this year. The sushi chefs were making the sushi fresh as we arrived. A good variety of sushi rolls, all very good. Also with various Chinese food selections, fresh fruit, soups and desserts. Great price for all-you-can eat near Disney!

Thé service was below average. Should hire better staff. Absolutely all of the food was prepackaged and horrific. The sushi was at best mediocre but needs upgrade. The Best thing I had was the prepackaged Eclair. The bathrooms are horrible and should be updated. It looks like this place has no been updated since 1979. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. The atmosphere is family friendly though and it is cheap. This place has a bad smell.

I found this restaurant to be clean and the staff friendly, the pork egg rolls were pretty good as well however, the chicken was dry and very chewy as if it were old and sun baked. Jerkey describes it better actually but it didn't have enough flavor to be Jerkey. I decided after that disappointment that I would redeem the experience by having some dessert however the plate that I took from the clean stack of dishes had not been washed to the level of cleanliness that we have all come to expect. This restaurant isn't bad and the staff seemed happy and helpful but for a mid priced (in my case $36.74) I tend to expect better quality food than what I normally get from McDonald's.

We went on Mother’s Day for lunch after seeing the price on their website. Being a local we skipped the I-Drive light and came in on the Fun Spot side. Parking lot has ample spaces on the side lot and that’s where we parked. When we entered we did not realize that the prices for the lunch buffet was $3 more than what their website showed. The signage should be at eye level as most people are not looking up when they enter. We got there around 1:30 and seating was quick. The staff are always very nice, attentive, and quick on removing dishes or refilling drinks. The food was as good as always. The little signs for some of the items were missing and I had to ask what certain items were as I’m allergic to some seafood.I gave 4 stars due to the price difference on the website to what the price was quoted to us upon checkout.When we were ready to leave there was a 90 minute wait for lunch and the line was out the door.We love Ichiban and will continue visiting.

This is the worst experience ever since we got Orlando.Sea food there was not fresh, smells wierd.The taste could not be worse than their food, I guess they didn't get paid enough to do their job. The chow mien there was the worst taste one in my 53 years life. if you like to throw your money into a fire pit just go there. If there is one thing I can guarantee you on this world i am not going there anymore, never again.

The food selection was big, however the Sushi was warm. Most of the buffet was cold. The woman's restrooms were disgusting, and had NO towels to dry your hands. I'M SO DISAPPOINTED! For a Friday night on International drive, SHAME! WHAT A WASTE OF $58

Decent buffet selection. The food wasn’t great but was good. The desserts left a lot to be desired. The donuts were the best of the lot.

We had our first visit here in January of 2022. Food was good, fresh and service was good. Now fast forward to today. We chose to come back because we had a great experience in Jan. Well today food all had signs on it that said 11:30 this was at 5:30. Food was old dried out and mostly cold. Our server brought us our check and said remember to include a tip. I have never ever been told that by a server or any restaurant staff. I will not be back and I most definitely not recommend to anyone

I was disappointed, both the food and service. The lady was super nice at first then got sour when we asked for our check and didn't eat much. She also did not do a good job and waiting, didn't refill our drinks, and we clearly had been sitting there ready to leave and she ignored us. The food was very very plain, the lo mein was only butter noodles and some lettuce, fried rice had no flavor at all. And for a buffet there is surprisingly not a lot of options. The "sauce" was liquid.. not a sauce at all. Too bad because it's a huge place, some big improvements need to be made to their food.

La comida excelente, uno come todo lo que quiere por un precio súper accesible que incluye bebidas e incluso café. Variedad impresionante de platos. Muy buena la atención. Volveré a ir.
