Awesome selection. Went right at 3 for the finner buffet and it was perfect. I've tried all of the seafood buffets in the Portland area and this one blows them out of the water. Huge selection of fresh sushi! The staff was very friendly and the place was really clean. Will be returning!!

Makoto is really good they have fresh cake ice cream noodles sushi and more like kimchi it’s a really great place to have Japanese food! One of the best places on earth!

All you can eat buffet, sushi, Mongolian bbq custom ordered, Chinese food and some fruit desserts. Soft drinks cost extra so just be mindful they are not included on the all you can eat price, i have gone on the weekend and weekdays so i can safely say the good taste is "acceptable" no matter when you go. You pick up your plate and go to the stations where food stays on warmers awaiting customers, the refill rate is much slower on weekdays vs weekends as anyone should expect. The food options are pretty much in line with most all you can eat buffets, I was surprised that it never wrecked havoc on my stomach and I even tried the sushi, I would steer clear from the Miso soup, the food, even if it just came out the kitchen would be a max rating of 3.5 stars so 3 stars consistent seems very reasonable to me. The prices do change with the day and time you arrive so be mindful, servers spend almost zero time interacting, they send you to a spot to eat in and pick up empty plates when you are done, sometimes they are quite attentive to your drink being refilled fast. The clientele that visits this place is very diverse so anything goes by most of the time everyone is peacefully eating with no issues. They have a very unique clock!

my experience was great, the food was delicious the workers were fast and kind. and we got a table write away.

Food was absolutely amazing! The hostess could've explained the process but instead sat us and walked off. We sat for 15 minutes waiting for a drink order before we got up and just started getting food.The busser and another waitress, I wish I would've gotten their names, were absolutely amazing! Those ladies were working hard and running around yet were so attentive to every table. That seriously made up for the first few minutes of arriving.The cooks do an absolutely amazing job at preparing the food and cooking it. It was all absolutely amazing?

The food here was excellent! I loved how there was a wide variety of sushi, side dishes, and other foods. My most favorite was the vegetable tempura- it was light, airy, and delicious. The thing I'd recommend is making the plates a little bigger. Other than that, I loved it! I'd definitely come again.

I love this place. One of my favorite buffets to eat at. My best friend and I really like to eat here. It's a really good buffet, but tonight I ordered it on GrubHub and it was just as good !

Great buffet.The overall experience was very good, I got there right near opening on a Sunday. this cost me 24$ after tax for 1 person.The food all seemed very fresh, except for the crab, which had a very strong fishy smell.The chow mein noodles were nicely done, as was the stir fried rice.The kimchi was a complete miss, I was happy to see it there, but unfortunately it had a off flavor, I'm a huge kimchi fan, but this one didn't taste good, had some weird flavors.The sushi I tried was excellent, only tried a few types of the California type rolls, but they tasted great and fresh.The tampora coated vegetables were delicious, as was the red snapper deep fried, both very fresh and well done.After two large plates, I got one last dessert plate with also a few favorites.The desserts were nice, and the cups of icecream good addition.If your in the mood to pay a premium, this is a great buffet, but if your not hungry enough to eat 24$ worth of food per person, probably look elsewhere.Also seating looked like it would get quite cramped during busy times.

The foods are Awesome, alot of selection

we have eaten there several times. Food is always good. What really sucks this time is the online reservation system does not work. Tried several times for a party of 7 for 2 birthdays. Called the restaurant and was told no phone reservations for below party of 15. Really?
