Reviews of Habachi Buffet (Restaurant)

Eugene Chavez

Love this place. I always have the Ribs. Fabulous. 6 steam tables with more food. They even have Crab Legs . Fresh sushi. The staff is friendly give you a smile they are Korean waitresses. Cute. But you are there for the Food . They sit you first and order your drinks. Tea, Soda no alcohol and No Smoking. Good prices.

Ernesto Maldonado

Aging place, most better options in the area

Robert Alvarado

It was delicious today but I was missing my grandson. He had eaten a octopus with me and that was the last time I was there.

John Vollmer

Very clean restaurant, the staff are very friendly. The food is exceptional.

Carrie Butler

Great place for habachi&wide variety at the buffet,they were also very nice to my 5 year old daughter!

Fred Renns

Food was old and cold, they brought new food out and mixed it in with the old food. Service was good. All the food was horrible. This was at 6pm

Eddie Young

The Habachi Buffet has what seems to be a significantly lower standard in both the taste and quality of food than what I have experienced in previous visits over years. Sushi rice was incredibly dry and the rolls were not too satisfying. Some items were not labeled and what I thought would have been a jalapeno popper turned out to be a deep fried oyster with the harsh taste of something expired from a can. The experience for the price of $15 per adult seemed to have blown me away as there are many options with far better pricing and taste. I no longer reccomend Habachi Buffet as I used to in the past.

Quinn Santos

Food was good and service thank you guys and gals

EDWARD ROGERZINSKY

Great food. Facility could stand a good cleaning.

T. Wilson

Not too good.

Josh Griffin

Food was unorganized. The staffs children were screaming and running around. Oh and then there are roaches running around from the buffet tables to the register and kindly escorting me out the door makes you wonder what it was running from. Yet no staff even attempted to take care of the roach just acted like it was a normal everyday occurrence.

angel ortega

Pros: lots of food options A cook can grill some stir fry for you Lunch special Ample seating Plenty of parking General nice staff Cons: Could have healthier options Some foods could be replaced sooner Overall a decent place to eat

JB WATKINS

Not the best Chinese buffet, but not the worst, felt like I was in an 80s restaurant

Damn Dacy

Johnny Alcoser

Good food and service, needs little more choices on food

Desiree Garcia

They have fried bananasssssss yum

CarmieChloe Mccall

Didn't bother even trying the food.... walked through the door to be greeted with the smell of soured seafood. Walked out.

Nemesis Dreemurr0

Good was so ugly it was very old, the vegetables had already turned brown from sitting there so long some of the food taste sour. They charge dinner prices for old food from lunch. Watermelon was old pudding was warm it was just gross.

Barbara McClain

Good, consistent Chinese food. Bit pricey, but a nice option on this side of town.

Kathy Loud

They need to close this place down the flies were terrible the food on the buffet was old they wasn't going to replace any of it it was just a mess I will not go there ever again

Daniel Klix

Place has gone down hill :( the crab is WAY too salty, the service was slow, and no one replaced the sushi...the overall quality of the dishes wasn't as good as it has been in the past. This place used to be a solid recommend for me.

Ashley Reese

I was ok. I just wish they had more of a variety of desserts. When it's a girls cheat day...I want to make it count.

Eri Byrd

A good place

Albert Campos

Not bad, but not good as far as food. Clean and nice presentation.

Clay Cervantes

Use to be a good place to eat but food gone down hill. Came to eat here today food was dried out. Shrimp was that cheap store bought stuff and the steaks keep getting smaller and smaller .Might be my last time to come here

Tre R. Sanchez III

Food selections were cold. Sushi had a tangy taste. Kabobs were chewy and over seasoned with salt and/or soy sauce. We had a few bites each from our plates and decided it was time to go. After listing our concerns with the manager he still had the audacity to ask me to pay the complete check, only agreeing to discount half the bill after us complaining even more so. We feel that even half ($10) was too much a price for the experience. The restaurant itself needs some serious upkeep. And the staffs children were running around the restaurant. Avoid this place if possible.

Brandy Rhoades

I really like this place. The food is good and proper temperatures. The place is clean and the buffet is usually well stocked. The steak is good. My only issue is I feel there's not enough of sushi, but the taste is good. More items would be nice, but this place is great. Service can be a little lacking, but if Lin is your server you're lucky. She's awesome at her job.

Travis

Okay food. I hear it used to be a lot better.

Christina McDaniel

We will not be back. This used to be our favorite in town. We went there on a Friday night, 6:30 PM so it's not like we went 30 minutes before closing. The Wontons were overcooked, spring rolls had a very funny taste (we think clove), all the chicken items were a dried out, almost everything tasted the same. Within minutes of leaving, my husband and I both had strong stomach cramps and were desperately searching for the nearest bathroom. I'm not sure what has happened here. But its definitely worth staying away from. Eat at your own risk.

Ryan Autry

One of the Worst experiences I've ever had at a restaurant the food was cold and tasted disgusting. Customer service was laughable, The only time our waiter came to our table was to make sure we didnt get anything off the dinner menu less we be charged a extra $5. this place ruined my appetite, but hey at least I'm not hungry anymore.

S. Tony Pacheco

Good Good for an off the highway stop I'll keep coming back. Watching all the travelers enjoy something other than the typical road stop food, was a bless. I know their pain. This was a treat.

Donny Fisk

Sorry to say. The staff are very nice. But this is the 2nd time I've eaten there and the food all tastes exactly the same. Its actually remarkable. The rice ,,, noodles, honey chicken. General chicken all tasted exactly the same. I thought I was sick last time so I came back and ate here again. Same thing.

Jorj Lighthill

It was delicious ..i'd give more

J N

I've eaten at Habatchi's before a few times and every time it's been clean and the staff have been friendly and on point. The variety of food is good enough though I often question how long the food has been sitting under the heat lamps. Feels like China Sea, but it's not. It's definitly Habatchi's. Definitely use the soy sauce if the sweet sauces are a little too much for you, it's a perfect counter. The desert selection of ice cream, baked goods and pudding are really appreciated. The fried fish was ok and the pork egg rolls are really good. I'll keep on coming back :)

NINA GAVE ME GREAT SERVICE. !!! SHE IS VERY BEAUTIFUL !!! By NINO.

Andrew Martinez

When this place 1st opened , the food and the selection of foods was great. Went in today and it was terrible. Meat all dry, very small selection, brighter inside then it was before, steak had a bad texture and choices were too small. Was not a lot to choose from. I was hungry and I just drove all the way over there from where I live just to eat at that place and it was horrible. So not worth $26.

Lou Zavala

Good fastfood plenty of space

Shane Phelan

Honestly, I think this place should be closer to a 4. Go when it's busy. Food is pretty good when it's fresh. Otherwise, it's pretty middle of the bar. Not awful, not great.

Marty Foster

Wonderful buffet had lots of good food service very good

Nicole Hoyt

Sadly...alot of the food was hard..like over fried, or overcooked. But there was alot of things to choose from for those who like seafood

Daniel Perez

Used to be better, still decent place with a good selection..

Veotas Stubbs

Better than last time. Hot, season well and juicy ball items.

Kaydee Luvv

I’m sick af after eating this and nothing was fresh

Crystal Canales

It was super hot in there. Food is only good when you get there at opening time.

marie andrade

Used to be good. But not anymore. Food quality went down. I will no longer be going back. For two people and drinks, not worth the 30 dollars.

Joseph Forbes

I over ate. The food today was the menu I can eat. Seafood is what Habachi buffet is known for. Restrooms need some attending to but overall. OMG I'm stuffed.

Cody Baker

Food is horrible tasting.the place stinks

Eric Arce

They offer pork ribs and coconut shrimp among other buffet staples. Sushi bar and stir fry station as well and about 8 kinds of ice cream!

stephanie mccloud

Friendly service and the food is really good

vixieyes

Family always gets full and the food is great!! Always our go to on family night!!

Mercedes B.

Food pretty good... wait staff did nice job as well.. Food taste ok. Great for buffet food. Kids like it and hubby too...

Mary Ann Almendarez

It was very good

Katherine Perez

Had to leave after eating a small amount on plate,stomach got very upset.their was five of us that ate. When we got home every one of us , had cramping in our stomachs and inline to use the rr. Never had problems like this before at this restrarant. I dont recommend this place at all.

Baleleng_Tv

food is good, we tried lunch and dinner , i like dinner its more seafood selection... they got sushi bar and stir fry (pick your own ingredients)

LeeAnn Bentancourt

Fast, hot food, full pans, but not a varied selection. Needs more veggies. Clean restroom, respectfully staff. This is buffet style.

Patricia Moore

Good for a quick bite and variety

Deanna YELVERTON

I love this place good food and really nice staff.

Timoteo Marfil

Friendly staff, but food left much to be desired, pricey

Jesse Duron Jr.

It's ok, it looks different from the photo they posted.

Elizabeth Frias

Absolutely horrible. The food was cold and it looked like it had been sitting there for a while. Had to ask the lady up front for our drinks since they had clearly forgotten them. Left the place with a huge stomach ache which lead to throwing up all the food a bit later. Do not recommend this place one bit.

Daniel Varela

I think one of the best Chinese restaurants I've been to. The food has very good flavor. 2 thumbs up...

Robert Zinnkann

Very dirty food has no taste if it has a good point there staff are very nice

Totsey Bass

Got there just when they opened and food tasted old. Some of meat choices were dried out.

Clarence Oglesby

I eat here at least twice a week. Great customer service. Friendly staff. At a good price. The addition of crawfish on the buffet would greatly improve their ratings.

Mario Hernandez

It's the first place I saw some one scratch their feet (foot) right at the buffet line ,well two feet from it , " but, at least (he/she) didn't touch the food" said the cashier, only handles the dishes...... still paid $15.00 , I know this things happen, but to see it .... priceless

Denay Brown

The food was hot but I'm not sure how fresh it was. The server came to our table once, took one plate and never came back. I had to get up and get our refills. The value for the price of the place isn't really worth it to me.

Luther Reus

The food was terrible, service was ok. I thought it would be a lot better than it was.

EVA SHUTTIN

My family likes it. The place is spacious and clean. All of the staff were friendly. Food was good. Thanks for the service.

Francisco Cantu

I would not recommend this place. Many people really enjoy it, however San Antonio has many more much better options for a buffet. The food is typically not in prime condition. The pros are you will be seated quickly, the staff is nice and friendly, and the cost is reasonable. If you have the extra cash however look to one of the other options in town.

Tanya Gaytan

No salad bar.. . Food was cold expected more for the price but on the upside the manager was essential n accommodated our dinner by making it fresh

Kyle Mckinnon

Went downhill. Area in general has tanked.

Perla Gonzalez

The food was really good. I liked how they had many different forms of seafood and to top it off there was a variety of ice cream

Rico

Food was extremely cold and not appetizing. I ate only the stuff that just came out since it was the only hot dish out.

Juan Gonzalez

Pretty good con papas

Yolanda Orozco

My family really enjoys the food here and the service is great

Ken Bradshaw

Food is ho-hum. Very little in the way of taste. Food was hot in the serving line. Large selection. Floor service was excellent. Won't go back.

Hunter Smith

Complete garbage

linda driggars

It's ok

Benny Goodwin jr.

Food was good. Staff was ok. The mood would have been down if it weren't for the sports on the big screen TV. It needs something...

John Aguirre

not the best but ok for a quick lunch

Julian Hernandez

I have seen other reviews about this place, I don't understand the negative reviews about this place ,I have been at this place a few times and I have never encounter the problems they post. GREAT SERVICE and GREAT FOOD!

Daniel Hurt

Variety of delicious options

Linda Jenkins

Everyone Be Careful! I had the WORST experience on Sunday, November 18th; I will not patronize this restaurant again, the hostess was very rude. I asked the waitress to bring me a to go container, she even confirmed my request, she obviously thought I wasn't going to pay for what I wanted, she went to the register, the hostess came to my table talking very loud and very rude, she was so loud and rude, people eating food stopped and started starring at our table, as she was trying to explain the rules about a take out I immediately told her I have been here before, LOTS of times, including last weekend November 11th and spent my hard earned money that I was going to pay for what I wanted to take home in the to go container. When I got to the register I advised the workers behind the register, that I was displeased with how I was treated. The hostess started arguing with me at the register. That was so unprofessional. Our waitress did not provide good service to us it was six people at the table. When I called back, they gave excuses that the waitress didn't understand English. Why make an excuse. Take responsibility for your employees. It's sad that people think they can say or do anything to you. It's sad, every time I patronize the place I spend a lot of money. I advised the owner that I would submit review. I am sad and disappointed. The service was not rendered. Nor did management care, the owner said someone would call me back today, I haven't heard anything. Unhappy customer who spent a lot of money at Habachi Buffet! The customer service was horrible.

Marilyn Brown

Great place to eat at

Toni Abrams

The food was okay, not the way I remembered it

Fernando Balleza

Very tasty food. Good prices.

Meg Schramm

Good basic Asian food. Not expensive. Good kids options

Papagayo PN

Not the best place, nor the worst. If you're close stop by to eat. If you ain't, there's no reason to come.

Amanda Abel-Shepherd

All the food was cold. We left right away and when I went to take care of the ticket, I informed the manager, and she said she would be able to take off like $3 from a $45 bill. And that was $45 for only 3 people. I also had called ahead to see if they had steak grilled to order like at other Chinese buffets, and the girl told me yes. But when we got there, that was not true, they do Not grill steaks by order, they only had thin beef strips sitting out in the buffet line and that was cold too. Not going back.

Elva Segovia

Father's Day with My Dad n Damily.

Allen Ryan

Trash. Very nice waitress tho. Food was terrible

Ricardo Padilla

Cold food. Added tip without permission.

Virginia McGregor

Utensils were not readily available, food was cold and not replenished well and waiter was more worried about getting the money totaled up correctly rather than service to table. Had go e downhill over the past few months

Fernando Lopez

it was ok food and service. pretty clean and good desserts.

PATTY CHAVEZ

I went during a weekday and buffet food was not fresh.

Darlene Partida

I don't love everything thing on the buffet but that's the best part of a buffet. There are so many different items it seems impossible to not find something you love. The staff is amazing and the prices are excellent!!

Mario Fonseca

Zero stars to be honest. The buffet food was cold and old. Horrible tasting and undercooked food. I did complain in which they admitted to having one of their steam tables out of order but they still served food from that table. I was given a 10% discount but later to noticed that they added a $5 tip after I left. I called to complain about it and they assured me it would be corrected after saying I would contact law enforcement for theft on their employee's part for adding a tip. It was eventually corrected but there's no excuse for anyone to do that or to serve old and cold food from an out of order steam table. Good luck if you do decide to eat here.

Roz L

First time guest. I went after looking at photos. The crab legs are smaller in person and on ice, I would have been happier with hot crab legs. Lots of fried options, shrimp options were cold. They do not have a salad bar which I was disappointed about. Food quality was poor, you get what you pay for. Our waiter was kind and acknowledging. I will not be going back.

Ray Benitez

Staff, including cleaning crew were very professional and dedicated to the customers. Great Chinese food with plenty of choices. Glad they are located in the East side of town.

anita Depriest

Love their coconut shrimp

Audrey Katcsmorak

Horrible food.... all dried out covered in sauce to hide it. Never go again.

James Lovett

Food is cold the last two times. Wish they was like they was a few years back

Juan Lima

Good variety of food choices for a Chinese Style Buffet, but the food wasn't the freshest. The ice cold soda was great.

Cathy Johnson

Food is ok. Not worth the price honestly. Lacks flavor. Place cooked definitely be cleaner and tidier.

Christine Moreno

Food needs to be fresh and more variety. It is always hot inside this restraunt.

CowGirl Diva

Yu could tell that food was sitting there for quite awhile , desserts had fly's on them won't go again

Marcus passmore

Good food and the employees are nice and they take care of u.

Valerie Ann

Egg rolls are gross! This place ain't worth the stop! Better off going to Lung Fung

Norma G

Food was not hot, quality of food was bad. We will not be going back

Alexis Lopez

I don't know why all the bad reviews. All the food was HOT! I even broke a sweat standing by the food while I was filling up my plate. I didn't see any bugs. No one ganged up on me speaking a different language. The sushi looked good, but it is true it was not like a huge selection; it was very little. All the food was fresh, and my server was very nice plus attentive. I would eat here again. Thanks, Habachi Buffet!

carla wise

The biggest issue we had was the food wasn't hot. Also several dishes had burnt meat. It even smelled burnt. The flavors were really good. The ribs we're off the chain yummy. The staff was friendly. We will try here again next time they San Antonio and hope the food temps are better.

Laura Martinez

Fresh dinner always, great service

michael clark

Very pricey. Not as good as it was when it opened

Cecilia Gombar

I love that they have a Mongolian bar. The ribs are the best. It's not hard and dried out. Best Chinese food in SA

Diana Bailey-Kent

I actually like the imitation crab claw on a stick. It looks funny but it tastes exactly like the expensive crab claw dim sum at Golden Wok. Unfortunately, the imitation crab claws were cold and the restaurant had just opened for the day. The baked fish and cocktail shrimp were decent. The service was excellent. Some of the food tags were not matched with the food in the bins ... which is not a big deal unless you have food allergies. Our group of four enjoyed our food.

Shannan Valdez

The very small amount of sushi was not very good. The rice was hard and dry. I would say 90% of the rest of the buffet items were pretty good and everything was hot and fresh even though they were not busy when we came in. About $15 per person with drink for a good variety lunch buffet. Interior could use freshening but all food areas, plates, tables and silverware were very clean. Will go back.

Logan Bob

Probably the best Asian buffet in San Antonio because the food is wide variety and changed out fresh. Sushi served too. Servers are very attentive and refill and take old plates before you can ask them! Quick seating hostesses get you and your coworkers at the table very fast even during lunch hour! Reasonable pricing. I been coming back since 2015!

Maria Solis

Great fresh food sushi and variety hot and tasty. ALWAYS STOP WHILE IN ROUTE TO SAN ANTONIO OR LAREDO..Best food yet.

April E Salazar

It scratches the itch for Asian cuisine. They really do offer lots of options! Don't go there thinking it's just Asian food and don't think it's all new foods. They make EVERYTHING! Yes, there's the classics, like sesame chicken, beef and broccoli, crab ragoons. But they also make chicken wings, ribs, various salads, so much seafood, just lots of stuff. This is a buffet, so you get whatever and how much you want. Prices are great!

Rob Simonton, Jr.

My son and I tried it for the first time last week, and we have a new favorite buffet. There are some unique dishes and some staples you'd expect to find. Everything tasted fresh, and it looked delicious. I'm not sure where the crowds were, but they weren't at this place, and that suits me just fine. Don't let the outside scare you. It's worth checking out, and you might find your new favorite place, too.

Warren Ocasio

Great food, fairly priced. Love to order to go since I do like some liquor before a meal and they don’t serve any. So we just get it to go and party on at home.

Chris Kimerer

Good prices compared to the other place. Clean. Hot food. Service was excellent. Easy to get in and out. I'm full and happy. Well done

Maggie Loera

Friendly waitress and staff food is hot and fresh... Enjoy there fresh fruit

Lewis Lopez

Food is always fresh

Melvin Polk

Grate place food is the best

Mahason Darbouze

The food was stall. Not good quality.

Belen G

Simple, tasty, worth the cost. I am actually glad they raised prices, I immediately saw a return to some quality in the food.

Daniel Huang

We weren’t planning on coming here and happened to be passing by on the way to a different place, when one of the kids said they would rather have Chinese food. So we pulled in, looked at the ratings and decided to give it a shot. We were really early for dinner on a Saturday, but the food was good. Snow crab was on the buffet, so it was definitely well priced with that in consideration. Several of the items I could tell had been made with care and quality in mind, not skimping where I’ve seen many others cut corners. The sushi only had a few real fish selections, consisting mostly of California rolls and the like. There were a number of seafood items in the regular buffet line in addition to the crab. And yes, Blue Bell ice cream for the finisher. My family liked this place, and we would come again. It’s not the greatest buffet place ever, but it has good food at a good price.

Jose Cantu

Pretty good buffet, not the best I’ve ever been at though. Has a pretty good blue bell ice cream selection. Just wish they had more selection for food.

Manuel Gracia

Out of the multiple Chinese Buffet restaurants that I've gone in San Antonio, this place definitely is worth a try, not perfect and off course, you can't expect gourmet food from an "All-you-can-eat" buffet, but their menu is varied, overall good tasting and best of all, hot... 90% of the time. Sushi is not the best, but once again, for just a bit over $10 per person, you can try as much as you want. My favorites are the typical choices; Lo-Mein, Coconut Shrimp, General Tso's chicken, vegetable rice, BBQ chicken, Cheese Rangoons, Spare Ribs(most of the time), Sweet and Sour Chicken and for desserts I like their coconut macaroons, ice cream, banana pudding with waffers cookies. The staff is friendly and attentive, the place while starting to look outdated is not terrible but needs some improvements, I haven't tried their grill much but it is a hit and miss too.

Kristian Delaindepe

waitress kept forgeting to bring us water and its not the first time

Kenneth Gassman

Very good food and drinks nice big buffet

Steve Atkinson

A lot of selections fish in Chinese the people were very polite Quick Service

Chidori8611

Loved this place. Good food and fair prices. Small verities but good. Something for everybody. They also let you take home food.

Jahida Black

Not worth it at all !!!! Butter taste like oil, there’s little to any taste to it. When we turned it, we should have turned out. Now husband is sick to stomach.

Sublime Rebel

There's always smiling faces and kind people working here.

Elisabeth Estrada

went here before today it was good...went today after 8:30pm (life happens) and the food was scarce and definitely been sitting there for a while.. service was decent but foodwise not okay

Chanice Scott

I love this place especially the coconut shrimp and sushi!! I usually take my order to go but I think next time me and my family will dine in because we always want seconds!

crystal klaerner

It's alright. Not the best buffet that I've been to, but not the worst.

Debbie Shaw

It was horrible...the food was old and dried out. I about broke a tooth on a spring roll. Never going back! I gave it 1 star because it wouldnt let me do zero...

Patricia Diaz

Good buffet to go to the sushi is super good taste fresh.

Samuel Elizondo

Food is always hot and plentiful. Great staff.

Jesse Granado

Food is cold even when you get it off the food trays, no flavor in food, the hot and sour soup needs more flavoring. Save your money, go to Lung Fung restaurant, trust me... You won't be disappointed, it's only like a few miles from 410 n rigsby

Mari Flores

I have been to several Buffet around San Antonio and this is the most (can’t put in word) place. Their wasn’t a great selection of good food. Everything had no flavor. It was bland taste. The place was presentable but the food was disgusting. The chips for the egg drop soup were stale. The sushi didn’t have nothing in it. The picture show full and ready to dip in food. I’m sorry this was my first impression and this will be my last impression of this place. This is disgusting. I will never come back to this place I paid 32 dollars and it wasn’t worth the money I paid. People come to get their money worth but I lost money today on how horrific the food was here. Spend your money elsewhere.

Joseph Granados

Food not all that

raquel gonzales

Not crazy about this place. There was nothing tasty here. I paid 11.24 plus tip. Do Not waste your cash here. Even the fruit was terrible. The cantaloupe was hard and the grapes were extremely sour.

Mena Clark

Good food and friendly service.

Daphne Rennspies

Food was cold and not all that great..

Deus Maximus

Food was amazing, very clean and excellent service. Ribs are fantastic, crab legs and the sushi was AWESOME!!!!!

Lorenzo Solis

Grill guy had headphones and didn't even acknowledge me

Marcos Rios

Huge selection, you will love it.

davepc2u

The restaurant is older but reasonably priced. Has 6 buffet tables sushi bar grill and desserts table. Its never full, always find a table or booth. Food is middle quality and always there. They are quick to help and prompt checkout either at table or on way out. Bathrooms are ok clean for commercial business.

Roman Atuatasi

This is great small buffet. Their food has a different recipe or taste than other buffets in San Antonio. It’s not much smaller but their food tastes great! I’ve eaten at Kings buffet which is my favorite in San Antonio. Hibachi is my 2nd favorite and sometimes first favorite when I crave hibachi’s honey crust shrimp!!! It’s good. Also their stuffed crab. Great food!

Charlie Johnson

Good food and good service i have no complaints
