Reviews of Yoki Buffet
Tina Tina
This place is a smorgasbord. They even have a sushi area. Delicious food great prices. You can't go wrong. Me and my friends had a blast We all had one plate of food. We were so stuffed. The food was great. 10 out of 10. We strongly recommend
Angel Trata
Interesting place with lots to offer and so much potential.
I had few suggestions especially for vegans/ vegetarians
Food should be labeled or a little green flag that states a dish is vegetarian or vegan friendly.
None of the staff spoke English or understood when I asked them to point me to vegetarian options and they all just walked away.
The place seems popular but a little consideration for vegans would be helpful. It’s value for money, all you can eat.
I still managed to guess and take whatever looked vegan to me but I felt there was so much that I was curious about but no one was helpful enough to explain.
Here are some pictures of vegetarian/ vegan options (as per my knowledge)
Decor is a bit dated

It's a buffet it is very wide and has a large variety. So if you're not worried about your diet or high cholesterol or worried about becoming a diabetic this is your place. It was clean it was nice but again you can't keep a buffet 100% safe from dirty people that don't wash their hands. Other than that I highly recommend the place but do it when they first opened up not when they're about to close there's a big difference. From your silent traveler it's an A5.

Yoki Buffet was delicious. Everything was that should be hot was. Everything that should be crisp was. Everything I tried was cooked or prepared to perfection. What I enjoyed the most was the plate placements. Thay are located under the entire length of the buffet. I could find what I wanted to eat grab a plate under that and serve myself.
The bathroom where clean and the they had a nice design. The service was top notch. My cup never got past half empty and my plate was removed shortly after I finished eating. I was asked when I paid if Everything was to satisfaction.
I would like to add I did show up at 11 am when they first opened. It looked like Everything was out except the white rice. As I was leaving the manager apologized for not having the rice out. I was very humbled by his apology and told him it was fine. I recommend this restaurant. I believe the price is worth the experience.
Please see my photos. Tried hard to not have people in the photos.

It’s good for what it is! Keep in mind this is your typical Asian buffet with a variety of mixed food from stir fry to sushi to desserts. It’s clean and open. From what I saw, they tried to keep it organize and the wait staff was nice. It’s not extravagant (what did you really expect) for $12 during lunch time. For a Wednesday around 1pm, it was pretty packed. It’s great value for your money for a fair amount of variety. However, food taste wise was just so-so.
John Fitzgerald
Excellent, huge variety of Chinese and Japanese food. Tonight the peppered chicken and the bourbon chicken were my favorites.
Mint chocolate chip ice cream for dessert, too.
Oleander White
I LOVE it here. Wonderful variety, delicious food almost all the time, amazing prices. They seriously have it all and it's more than worth it to take a small detour and try the food here. If you love sashimi, exotic eats, or little peach shaped steamed buns, it's for you!!
Jordan Williams
What a great place! Never had it and I will be sure to return
From the General Tso’s Chicken to the Jalapeño Chicken. Everything was excellent!
Tons of options to choose from. 🥡🥢🥠

I am staying at extended Stay America next door. I needed to take out food for two meals. Yoki Buffet goes by weight for take out. Since I was looking for low salt items. I selected many items. My box came to three pounds and $18.00. There were many items I couldn't eat.
So, this is no place for someone that is on a low salt diet.
There are a few items, such as
Yellow fruit, glass noodles, fried rice etc. The photo below, shows the whole big plate I took with me, and the items I could eat on this diet. What I ate was good. I want to emphasize, that the selection humongous 😃.
Many unusual but typical Asian dishes. A wonderful desert bar.
Bruce Almighty
You'll understand when you try it, they make everything "with love". Best buffet in town! It might be a dish you've eaten at 250 buffets, but Yoki prbly makes it better. Properly seasoned especially, and properly cooked too. Very well managed place. Huge capacity and always runs perfectly smoothly.
Daisy Lapierre
They had a bunch of variety for everyone! Fresh sushi, hibachi grill, buffet full of Chinese food! I wish they had orange chicken though. Most of the food was very fresh. One of the best buffets we have tried in a 35mile radius. Went on another day today on Sunday if you don't eat seafood don't go on Sundays to expensive.
Leanna Peterzell
A huge variety of food! Most being very fresh, taking in to account that i dined on a very busy Saturday night. I mean some of the food didn't have my kind of variety, like chicken wise, only had general tso's and bourbon instead of like orange chicken or honey chicken. ice cream flavors were kind of disappointing with only vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, sherbet, butter pecan, superman and mint chocolate chip. Also the labels were pretty mismatched for the foods and some didn't have any at all.
Joe Shelburne
Food is always delicious and fresh, with a wide variety and good dessert selection. Got some chicken tenders from the buffet for my 3 year old and ending up eating 7 of them myself because they were that good. This is our go to for Chinese buffet.
Justin Business
Good food, although some of it may of been getting a little old, the pies were soupy, and the jello was very rubbery on the top. But the rest was very good and we enjoyed our dinner here. It ran about 17$ a person for buffet and a drink.
Diana Alexander
Danae does not like Chinese Buffet. Very nice for a Sunday,. Sushi was fresh being made especially for mar eel roll,. Lena tried octopus for the first time, Mongolian beef and Salt and pepper shrimp were good, sauteed mushrooms were also,. Lena also enjoyed spicy noodles. She's the adventurer of the family and tried a lot of different things.
Natashia Dilka
Best Chinese buffet that I have been to. Great sushi and sashimi. Crab legs, prawns, oysters, crawdads, octopus, grill. Huge desert bar w ice cream variety. Definitely making the 45 minute drive again.
jerone aliazon
Seafoods , meat + fried rice.
Cakes, fruits, ice creams and more. . . .
Sony Steier
My mothers favorite chinese food buffet. The selection is enormous. The food is fresh and includes seafood (shrimp) a Mongolian line, sushi and traditional items. Lots of fruit, dessert, and even American food like chicken tenders and pizza. Something for everyone at a really fair price.
Haley Young
The food was okay and the service was pretty average. Everything seemed freshly made and like it hadn't sat in the warming table forever. I will go back if I'm in the area but I probably won't make the 25 minute drive back.
Tim Helton
The service was friendly and fast despite it being a busy saturday night. The food was fresh and refilled quickly. Some of the signs were above the wrong food but it was obvious. It wasnt the best chinese food I've ever eaten but it was good enough for a fast venue. The sushi was delicious and i ate more than enough to warrant the medium sized check at the end of the night.
Stanley Sandlin
Went for my birthday. So much to choose from with the Sunday buffet. While my kids ate cold fresh sushi, I had a plate of crab legs, peppered steak with shrimp, spicy chicken, teriyaki chicken, butterfly shrimp,and crab rangoon...There's a bunch to choose and all of it was fresh. Love this location.
Tracey Milburn
I don't like buffets and this visit just confirmed I still don't. The buffet was not very clean, spills and drips everywhere. Children unsupervised serving themselves. I saw one child stick their fingers in the food to taste and I was done!
The food I did manage to eat was ok. I was hoping I'd like this place but it's just a nother Chinese buffet restaurant. These come a dime a dozen.
Eric McHenry
One of the best China Buffet's we have ever been too. Customer service was also excellant. We will be back when we return back to Kentucky.
Tessica Patrick
Sushi was good. The buffet was ok nothing special but it did the job. Went after 7 and some things did not get refilled on the buffet as quickly or at all. The toilet seat is a fall risk, barely hanging on and the sink in the women's room is about to break any moment. Those repairs really need to be done for safety sake.
Maggie Thompson
It is a buffet, so food is very much quantity over quality. But it is clean and food it well taken care of. They have a Hibachi grill that is good. Deserts and sushi were not as good, so it was not a sushi place.
Joselyn D
Wow, we are so stuffed! Going to need a nap. The sushi bar was my favorite. They have lots of tasty sushi options compared to other places. I tried a little bit of everything and liked most of it. The staff was friendly and quick. Next time I will try the Mongolian BBQ. I ran out of room.
tim Stevenson
I couldn't eat another ham so we went to Yoki on Christmas day. The food was great. It was busy but worth it. The food was hot, fresh, delicious. Recommended.
Victoria McBroom
Sooo good. Just like it was mentioned, the sushi is DELICIOUS! happened to pick up a bun I thought was a custard bun, nope roast pork bun very much like the ones I had in NYC chinatown. They also had the custard buns which were tasty as well. I was impressed with everything I tried here. Marking as one of my favorite buffets across the country.
mark guo
The best seafood buffet I have ever had in Kentucky. They have a lot of choices, oysters are very fresh. Every where is clean! Server is friendly. Price is affordable! We would definitely come back!
Abdurrahman AlQuran
Great service, and good selection of foods. Sushi bar has nice choices, Mongolian bar let's you build your own meal for no extra charge. Overall a pretty nice, clean buffet.
Adam Massey
New, and very busy in the evening, when we left there was a 20 minute wait. However I would rather go to a buffet when it's busy because the food is usually fresher. They have a Mongolian grill, kids section ( pizza and Mac and cheese). Also a sushi and sashimi bar, regular Chinese food and a dessert section. Dinner is 13 dollars a person and you have a server.
Steve Young
Yummy food and a good selection. Just took my boys for lunch and it was their first experience with a Chinese buffet. They had a blast. Dessert bar was probably their favorite. Minds were blown.
Website is not clear on prices. Current (July 2022) lunch prices are $10.99 for adults (11+) and $7.99 for kids 6-10. I'm not sure what the price is for younger. And I don't know dinner price for sure.
Daniel Puzon
Large variety of food and wasn't bad, only thing I can really say is they need turn that sushi a little faster
JozARTSY
Yummy Chinese buffet, they do have crab legs but they don’t look very appetizing. Large selection of cheaply made sushi and desserts. Worth it for the price but nothing to brag about.
Tyquan Robinson
Loved the selection of food and I'd honestly have to say that I received the best service at a buffet in my life! I Would 💯 recommend this place to anyone👍🏾 oh and 1 more thing...I feel like the price is spot on if not below what it should be.
Bethany Weimer (panopticlove)
Good place to eat. Visited on a Sunday which includes all the seafood. Not sure how it works the rest of week since I've only been there once. The price matches the assortment. The buffet contains the generic array. It was clean and fresh. Most of the food's taste did not wow me, but if you are looking for all-you-can-eat Asian food then try this place.
NICE GUY
Me and my husband have a wonderful time here.we have been here three times so far even decided to go up for the 4th of July we highly recommend this place to anybody looking for a decently priced Chinese buffet with more than enough options for even the pickiest food critic... Don't listen to the poor reviews on here this place is amazing it is spotless the servers are more than generous with mannerisms, the owners are very nice and the food quickly gets refilled. And if you have a sweet tooth you are in for a surprise they have the most overstocked dessert bar I have ever seen in a Chinese restaurant.
Cara Johnson
What I tried was really good. The best I've had of this type of restaurant. The service however.. our waitress didn't ask if we needed drink refills or take plates until we were getting up to leave. She also asked if we were splitting the check after we had already paid. All in all though it's a good buffet, with good food.
Yami L
The only buffet my family and I will go to. My husband love their sushi bar.
Travel Bug
Visited the Yoki Buffet during my stay in Louisville Kentucky. Hands down one of the best Chinese buffet hibachi Grill I've ever been to. The variety is unbeatable very clean very fresh and the sushi bar is very impressive
Juan Carlos Mayorga
The food was decent .but the service is bad .they trow you on your table and forget about you we have to get up and find a waitress to ask for our drinks amd she was like no more no more before i finish asking. Then i try to ask a couple of other people where to find things like hot sauce and stuff and same answer.no more .no more .and of course we never got a refill on our drinks. This was my first and my last time here.
melissa renfro-brumley
Very clean, big selection, salad bar, sushi, hibachi, ice cream, dessert, soups...everything tasted wonderful, good service
.i would eat here again! Lunch was under 10.00 a piece..worth it!
Robert D. Moore
Massive buffets you could possible dream about coming to Yoki, real throughly cooked and some fresh raw edibles is a hit. Come in and get what you've dreaming about.
Eve Geary
Amazing this is my 2nd time here. Its open and im happy I miss the buffet. U have to wear your mask everywhere but your booth and they serve u the food on ur plate. Reminds me of school lunch..but soooo good!!!! Great taste great experience! Love the deserts too!! Come get some good food!!
Patricia Correa
It has more variety of food, than other Chinese food restaurants, all its dishes are so good! good place to enjoy with family.
David Williams
I can always count on this buffet to offer consistently good buffet food. I usually enjoy most of what I eat here!
Kwang Lee
Variety of foods and nice place to enjoy the meal. The best price! Come and see then you can believe.
Somina Francillon
For a buffet, it was okay. My favorite part was the hibachi. I liked the options to create my own stir fried noodles.
Rodrigo Franca
The food tasted good with a couple of exceptions. The hot and sour soup was a bit salty and some of the dessert a bit too sweet. Considering we got there 1 hour before closing, some of the items weren't being refilled.
Russ Allen
Clean, delicious and better quality ingredients than similar restaurants. This is my new spot when I am trying to eat an embarrassing amount of sushi and Asian food. Sorry, Jumbo Buffet 💁🏼♂️💁🏼♂️💁🏼♂️ …
Aya James
Great food! I paid roughly $16 per person with a party of 5.
No wait. I always love a place where the fruit was ripe.
I'm not really a fan of buffets but it was clean and everyone was friendly.
Lori Hunter
The food was pretty good but it could have been hotter. A lot of variety! The sushi was very 😋
Rey Wooldridge
Freshest and greatest quality buffet I've ever been to! They have a HUGE selection of great food!
william jenkins
The food was ok and they have a pretty good variety of items on the buffet. The food wasn't fresh and some of it was dried out, but we did come at an odd time between lunch and dinner.
Mindy Barakauskas
The staff is always so kind and the food never disappoints! Something for everyone as far as food options go.
Sarah Osorio
The sushi was definitely my favorite. So many food selections to choose from, the service was also great!
Beckie Samuels
Excellent service. Went on Christmas Day all the food was hot. No delay with service
Annette
Food was great, server not very attentive with drinks or clearing plates
Seun Alo
This is quite a great place to dine in. Group or individual 👌
christine Williams
This place was great. Very clean, friendly staff, food was hot, fresh, and tasted good.
emma unser
Food was pretty good, but a lot of it was cold. Price of dinner was not even listed. If you check the picture or the sign at the door $12.99 is the highest price. Each of our meals were $15.99. If you're going to raise the proces, that is understandable, however customers should at least be aware of the price change. I've loved this place since I was young, but this just makes me sad :(
silas segrest
Was great except this time the grill over cooked my noodles. So so crispy. Couldn’t eat them.
Maxwell Malone (Wellitis)
This is the best Chinese buffet I have been to in Louisville. They have a huge variety and plenty of space to sit down and eat. The staff is friendly. Everything is very clean and the food is fresh.
Hoyt Howerton
Pretty good food. Nothing spectacular but never disappointing.
james spencer
Large selection of food. However, most of it looked appetizing. There was also an unpleasant smell of bad seafood.
Cary Lopez
The food is delicious and a pretty good service. I am coming back for more
Dave Salgee
It was more than a hundred feet of Cantonese cuisine on the other side was the hibachi grill get your vegetables and different kinds of meats while the chef cook it in front of you then on the other side you have your cells and desserts I highly recommend this place next time in Louisville I will be going there once again loved it.
Donald White
Food was pretty good. Waitress was nice but never got a refill
tom g
Food was ok but way over priced, some food was good and hot and some was very cold
William Pace
buffet style with a hot & cold bar, sushi, mongolian grill..
clean, well managed business..
Ms Lady Jones
We are low carb so not much we can have but the food was good.the price was not bad either
Veronica Johnson
Wonderful place to dine or have a meeting. Great atmosphere.
J.Pike Mather
Unlike other buffets that I have been to I can guarantee you your food will not try to crawl off your plate. 100% edible I guarantee it
Murrell Kinkade
Very nice presentation. Good looking food tables. It is your usual Chinese buffet. The issue was that the food that should have been hot was not. Some was a bit warm and some barely room temp. What we had was tasty for the most part but not mind blowing. May try again in a few months.
Kim B
Good food, they kept the pans stocked and had lots of variety.
Joe Cundiff
Very large selection, many deserts,... first time in will definitely go back.
Camille F
Food was ok. Lunch special prices were great though.
Kathleen Shea
I dined here with my Dad and we both agree this is truly the best buffet we've ever been to. *Fresh* seafood, *huge* spread, and everything really does taste quality, better than many other buffets I've been to. Quality service as well, definitely worth the price!
Rico Tuers
Everything was delicious and get this they got slot machines! Got done eating and went to the games and won 44$ awesome you should check it out . Btw not to expensive either. Winning!
Niko Smith
The best buffet ive been to around the country. Friendly staff and great atmosphere.These bad reviews seem to stem from competitors that couldn't keep up with a quality bussines. If I'm ever in Louisville again then I will definitely stop by again.
Doug Ivison
A very good buffet ... I really enjoyed it.
A hibachi is included, which is a great perk ... But I didn't try that this time.
I didn't see a lot of ready-made options for a vegetarian, but in future, taking advantage of the hibachi could solve that.
It was not cheap ... But these days (omicron starting to subside), I've seen restaurants priced for fewer customers, and priced for recovery.
aciarduce
Decent food. The sushi is alright. Somewhat plain but a good selection, and every table has soy sauce and siraccha so plenty of goodness. Very good variety of Japanese cuisine as well as American style children selection. Would easily go again. Open late too!
Mahalakshmi Dinesh
Always liked the variety of things in the buffet and we can also get the food grilled with the options they have for grilling
SaveZeQueen -
This is one of my favorite Chinese Buffet's specifically for it's large selection, fast service, and Spanish influence.
Julia Smith
Normally fresh hot food. Business may have been slow that day. Sushi had been sitting all day. But mostly everything else was fresh. We be back. I don't count out a place because of one off day. Me and my family enjoy this place a lot.
Alexander Duvall
Went here once. The food tasted good, but I am unlikely to return, as the quality just did not feel there. Perhaps I went on an off day, but regardless, I did not feel I obtained the value equivalent to what I paid.
For that reason, I will be unlikely to return, but I do not directly advocate against trying this restaurant. It has many fans, and I am sure you will enjoy it if this is your type of food.
Yuki “Elahks”
I didn't much care for the chicken and pork dishes but the steak was good but slightly blend. They have a bun filled with sweet paste and it was the best thing. not bad buffet imo
arielle duncan
I love the fried noodles bar. They have so many selections. Food is very delicious
Terri Fisher
Amazing Experience!! The sushi is the best I've had since Maui. A very generous amount of sushi 🍣 choices ....the muscles are huge and comparable to oysters. The atmosphere was clean and sparkling (especially the crystal chandeliers) Mask mandate and spacing is followed strictly. Very friendly and helpful. Since I'm a sushi lover I didn't eat the hot food but husband did and loved it... especially the steak ..very tender. Just very impressed with my first dinner there..WE WILL BE BACK💜✌️
Jonathan Hann
Food was pretty good was clean the tea was old though.
Jason Brown
Large selection of food. Industrial and utilitarian, decent but buffet food nonetheless.
Kristopher
Food was delicious and fresh. It was replenished quickly and kept available. So much variety. More than I've seen in quite a while. And no mysterious plate snatchers removed my plate before I was finished eating. Worth trying for yourself.
Ron C
I enjoy the food everytime I eat there.
J Fleshman
Good selection of Chinese dishes. Sushi is particularly good, with a wide variety. Only item we did not care for were the Mexican street tacos. The beef tacos were tough and not flavorful. Odd item for a Chinese buffet.
tiffany wood
WOOOOOOOOOOW, Do not let the outside appearance of this buffet fool you. I finally tried this place and I am so upset that it took me this long to eat here. It is by far hands down the best Chinese buffet in Louisville, And one of the top 3 that I've been to ever! The sushi is fresh delicious, The best general tsos chicken I've ever had, They have a Mongolian grill so you can pick and put your own dish together, And on the weekends they have crab legs and fresh seafood if you like Chinese food and Chinese buffets do yourself a favor and go here it will be your new regular favorite place.
Mel Hays
Loved the private booths and the huge selection. Will be back.
Sam DuPlessis
It was not delicious but pretty good. Tons of food though so you can’t not enjoy something.
Nancy Gordon
Great selection of Asian & American dishes & desserts
Dzevad Becirevic
Food was good place was clean i was not impressed by the person that worked on Mongolian grill he had attitude problems towards customers but other that food had good taste
anthony gross
Friendly staff, sweet and sour was good.
Sushi all around, dessert great.
Other foods just had no flavor.
Melanie Gould
It was good for a buffet but could have used a little TLC.
Jessie Maum
Good food and a resonable price for what they offer!
Gregory Simao
Great place to eat different kinds of food!
E L
So good, they have shrimp, calamari, crab, sushi, platanos, so many types of dessert. YUM good service too
J MAD
I'm giving 5 stars because, compared to other buffets in the area, this one was the best I've had in a while. I'm not always impressed with a huge selection because i feel like that's a trade off for quality. However this place has both an impressive selection and good food. I'll definitely be back.
Gary Morgan
Food was delicious but service was little slow🇺🇸😎
Liz Gaby
Best buffet every. Can't go to any other now.
Delay Wilkins
Great food, Great Staff, and just wonderful place to eat on a budget. Also, Owner is nice and courteous.
Lindsay Kitchen
Fantastic food. My husband and I came here for something different and the buffet was so nice. The place was clean (other than the high chairs; which is expected to be dirty) They food was delicious and the buffet had a very well lay out to it. It flowed very nicely together.
walking by faith Mccollom
Reasonable price decent sushi and good variety of food. They are always customer friendly. Overall not the best , but definitely affordable!
Chris Crum
Food was all very good flavors were perfect would absolutely give a 5 star review without question if it hadn't been for the fact none of the food was hot everything seemed room temp still strongly recommend this place great variety of food more then most imo sushi was very good (only tried the tempura) but I didn't dislike a single thing I tried
Hannah Joyner
We got to the restaurant around 4:30. It was busy but not packed. We were seated immediately and were waited on promptly. Our waiter was on point! There were a few things that I personally would not try but everything that I eat, I feel was very good considering it was served buffet style. And the soup guy is great!
BARBARA SHAW
Fresh food bar. A lot of selections.
Shannon B
We are so glad Yoki has been able to stay open. It is our families go to buffet restaurant. The food is always fresh and so flavorful. The staff is always polite and keeps the plates cleared and the cups filled.
Daniel Laney
My daughter loves going here. Lots of variety.👍👍
El Solo Lobo
We went there at dinner time on a Saturday. At 14.99 per person it wasn't cheap but what you do get is a huge variety of dishes served at a all you can eat bar. They have just about everything you can think of except the most exotic dishes. There is also a hibachi grill where you can get freshly cooked food. If you like Asian or American cuisine you can't go wrong by choosing this place. I would recommend going on a weekday as the price is much better 9.99 I think.
Keith Noble
One of the best I've seen. Lots of choices. Pretty busy so everything was fresh. Will be back.
Erik Randall
Great selection of Asian cuisine. I stay away from the desserts but they all look fresh and delicious!
Anthony Mendoza
So, I went with a party of 3 on Thursday night. The process of getting a booth was simple, but the staff was not very welcoming or animated. I personally went after the sushi, which I enjoyed greatly. The variety and the taste was wonderful. However, I went to look at the other buffet options and was disappointed by the seemingly small variety with such a big facility. Perhaps there is more during lunch. That being said, the food was good, just buffet quality as expected. All of this would have garnered a 4 Star rating, but the $12.99 price was too high for the selection and quality. Probably would not go back for dinner due to that reason.
Patrick
Good selection, typical buffet fare. Prices are appropriate.
peereddp peereddp
I love being able to have my food cooked to order and not just having to eat off the buffet. My husband loves the variety.
My Name
The tea was good. I didn't get a chance to eat anything because my "date" was being all weird and decided he didn't want to eat there. I'd definitely go back to taste the food, just not with him.
Brandy Vires
Staff is great, very clean, good sushi, wide selection. It has a unique variety on everything, especially Saturday seafood nights. There are things that I didn't like, but everyone has different opinions and taste. Been during lunch and dinner and we will continue going back.
Eric Rahman
Amazing variety. Great service. Can’t miss!
Margaret “ReeReeKey” Carranza Garcia
One of the few buffets we still go to.
Aileah Newbolt
So spacious!! It fit my family that came from out of town. We were all comfortable and full from the variety of food! Highly recommended:)
Debbie Alexander
My youngest son and I went to eat here. All he wanted was fried dumplings. They didn’t have any on the buffet. I asked the manager ( I am assuming) if they had any coming out or if I could order some at an additional charge. His reply was “ sorry we don’t have any on the buffet, but he would have someone make some and bring them out to him. How many would he like & there isn’t an additional charge ! “ I was completely surprised . That they would go make them for him . If that’s not good business, I don’t know what is ! The thing the manager didn’t know, was that my son is autistic and that was all he had been asking for all day ! Thank you for bringing a smile to my sons face and mine ! We will be back if we ever come back this way again ! Thank you !
Heather C (Honest2afault)
This buffet had not only all the classic Americanized Chinese foods you know and love, but they also had a small selection of Japanese sushi maki rolls.

Very good sushi. Good service and great selection of foods.
Krzysztof Kunicki
Very good and tasty food. Great variety. I was there a lot of times and always left satisfied.
Barbara Butler
This place is huge. The atmosphere there is friendly and quiet. We was able to enjoy our meal and the waitress came by a few time to make sure everything was ok. This place has such a nice selection of food and delicious desserts. But I wouldn't recommend getting any ice cream. The ice isn't in a machine and you have to dig it out yourself. Which none of them look very good. Really messes in fact. The bathroom's are super clean. Loved everything we got at the buffet.

First time there and found it wonderful. The selection is large and the food was hot and fresh. Not very Crowded and the service was great.
Johnny B Williams
My pants were loose when I walked in and tight when I walked out. I felt like a super villan in an Austin Powers movie.
The food is good and there is a lot of it. The dinner selection was really impressive. The sushi and Mongolian BBQ alone are enough to fill you up.
Susan Botros
Don't eat the sushi...a number of entree dishes were cold. The chicken on a stick nearly broke my tooth off.
Brenda Crosby
The food was not as hot as it should have been, deserts where very disappointing
Susan Green
The food was great and hot, well seasoned, best Buffet yet!!
Rene Licea
good food, very varied and good service !! the best chinese buffet in the area
Jennifer Wiggins
First time visitor today and we really enjoyed the buffet. This is our first buffet experience since moving to KY. Staff is friendly, well prepared for COVID restrictions, and had a nice variety for our family. I personally enjoyed the hibachi and my son thought the sushi was good too. We will visit again for certain!

You going to spend $20 $2 on drink. The food is better than most. They had more vegetables
Jessica Still
Best buffet in town. Also the cleanest
Joe Ginsu
Great food. Check out this steak.
Joshua Robins
I love everything! Almost best buffet in town.
Christal Chadwell
The frog legs were very delicious along with everything else ! All the food was fresh and hot ! We’ll definitely be returning!

The BEST BUFFET I've EVER had. They have everything you can think of, super clean, they were very on top of removing dishes, and filling drinks. I'd make that 30 min drive everyday to eat here! Went at 2:30, which if you know about buffets they're never hot or any good from 1-5, and it was fresh, delicious, super busy, and just an all around fantastic restaurant 👍 👍 👍 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
Anthony Iommi
Love this place. Great staff. Service oriented and pleasant. Been here several times since it opened and will continue coming back. Sushi is fresh and all different varieties to choose from. Too many Asian dishes to mention plus a few American staples. Good dessert selection as well. Prices are cheaper during the week before dinner time. Saturday before 3:30 pm. After a bit more. Recommend this place for a couple or entire family. Reasonable and great value.
Nina Ya
I would say, not impressed this time, grill didn't have beef. Fish and shrimp were great! But for bill $47 we could eat in more interesting places, i think?
Kyle Murphy
One of the best Chinese Buffets in Louisville it is always packed
Sissey B
I love Sunday’s seafood hibachi
Arink Bertrand
Pretty good & decently priced. My kids love it and it saves me from having to make sushi every week. Nice variety of foods. A little lacking in the desert compartment, just meh. Service & staff are excellent.
Selma Adamczyk
Went there for our first anniversary. I really like Chinese food but my husband have been exposed to much. I was really hoping it would be a great experience for him. We were there on the weekend and there was a huge selection of food, but everything I had tried seemed like it was left under the great lamps for far too long or over cooked. I was disappointed because I really wanted my husband to see how good Chinese food could be. Then also the price was really high I felt for what I felt was poor quality of food. It was a beautiful restaurant and I loved the decor, but I really think for the price the food should have been better.

Our sales team I would say comes here at least once a week. Food is great. Staff is friendly. And you can't beat the lunch price.
djtravy
Stop in for dinner and this place was amazing!!
Alpha Shields
This place is absolutely wonderful. My husband, son and I arrived here late but the food was still excellent and fresh. They have a big selection of food, and it was very delicious. They even have fresh oysters, everything we ate was tasty. Our server was really nice too. We stayed there until the restaurant closed. We would definitely be back again.

Very nice buffet have’s a lot of food 5 stars

Wasn't bad for cost, food was displayed appetizing but, flavor was bland

I love it ... Great selections, from soup, appetizers, main course and vegetables, sushi, fruit and awesome desserts.
Donald Ijames
Not so great. Lotsa food though
wendi hyer
Always have great food and your drink will never run out. Fresh food and awesome wait staff!
Frank Bertrand
So much amazing oriental food in one buffet. The price is amazing as well. Sushi, dumplings, seafood, 4 different hot soup bowls, and the hibachi area is stocked with tempting selections. The servers are quick and efficient. Great dining experience. Thanks
Just Melissa
Big variety. Fresh food. Fast table staff. Clean. Even though it was super packed on a Sunday, during dinner, all the food stayed stocked.
Diana Nelson
Just like every other Chinese buffet. Food was nothing special. Desserts were all store bought.
Johnny Isaacs
The Yoki Buffet is new, clean, fresh, and delicious! They have a great selection of sushi, their buffet has something for everyone and it's all so good! I tried about 20 different things, and liked almost all of them. Louisville has been missing a great Asian buffet for a long time, but no longer. This place is good and it's inexpensive. (At least at lunch..$8.50 per adult)
James Lee
This restaurant offers a variety of food from sushi 🍣 to Mongolian grill 😋. A friendly staff and servers make you feel comfortable and enjoyable place to eat alone or with your family. …
Kravxns FN (Kravxns)
It's a good place, nice food it was delicious, but it has bad service I have been waiting for the refill for fries they didn't refill till we said to refill. The ice cream can was empty we asked them to refill it and they wouldn't. So I would recommend this place if you like asking for refill plus it's not a bad price for a 5+ family.
Shannon Walters
I have been a devoted fan of the Jumbo Buffet in Jeffersontown for eighteen years but recently noticed this restaurant on Trip Advisor getting such good reviews. This is often rated the top Chinese buffet in the area. I visited myself this month and this is easily one of our top buffets and perhaps even better than Jumbo Buffet. Both are superb with great food choices, including healthy choices. At Yoki Buffet, the layout is a little easier to navigate than Jumbo Buffet. The cold section has some items unique to Yoki: oysters on the half shell being the biggest surprise. These shucked oysters are packed onto ice and are fresh and briny and large.
Staci S
Food is always good and hot when we visit. Service is usually good too, but today it wasn't as good as usual. Was given water instead of my sweet tea that I ordered. Waitress seemed not suited for the position. Seemed shy, and standoffish. Hopefully she'll get better with time.
Kimmie Jones
This by far was the best buffet ever! Had the most variety of everything and anything you could ask for. The price is fabulous as well at 14.99, well worth it!
ForSaKen Overcast
I was pleasantly surprised by the food here. There are the typical American forms of Asian food, but there are also more traditional dishes here as well.
Buffet food typically is not thag great, but I enjoyed the entrees and sushi here. The oysters were not salted too well, as most usually are. But other than that they were decent. The nigiri seemed a little on the dry side, but that wasn't a huge deal. There was a nice selection of desserts.
Shaun Vargas
A pretty good buffet, I like that they had things like Fried Plantains, I noticed no one had masks on, no Social Distancing and I guess its alright since we're vaccinated, but workers had no gloves nor hair nets(maybe this is a Louisville thing)
Jonathan Wood
This place really hit the spot. All of the food look fresh and none of it was dried out. We went right at dinner time and it was crowded but we were able to find a seat no problem. The wait staff was very kind and courteous. The only downside was that the Hibachi Grill had meat that was tough and not very tender. I would go back and definitely recommend it.
PL K
Nobody goes to a buffet expecting 5 star cuisine, but Yoki is very good at being a top notch buffet. There's a huge selection, something for everyone, plus the custom stir fry option. I'm impressed because the seafood selections weren't overcooked. That's very hard to do on a heated buffet. Food is moderately seasoned, so don't expect your General Tso's chicken to have much spicy heat. There is sushi, but I can only tell you that the cooked & vegetarian selections are good. (May not be popular opinion, but I think of raw fish as bait & have never tried it.) Several dessert selections, including ice cream. Servers kept my tea glass full & removed empty plates frequently. Good food at a reasonable price for that you get.
Paula Askew
We always enjoy the seafood buffet!!! Great staff very friendly. Good food with good friends
Rodney Adams
Good food and staff was friendly. Waitress never came back to refill my drink. She was preoccupied playing on her phone.
Polo 74
It's OK. But if u are a real sushi eater this is not the place for u. The rice is dry and hard and the "SALMON, Tuna" is artificial and chewy. Everything else us ok.
Ed Smith
Stopped in for supper as I noticed it from the road and thought I'd give it a try. It is very nicely decorated and I was politely greeted and seated by the hostess. The waiter who kept the empty plates etc off the table and kept my drink glass full was very attentive. The buffet was very good and had a wide array of fresh selections. You can select your own ingredients located on the far right of the buffet or choose from the many selections readily available of already cooked food. The one item of fish that said flounder was cooked with head on was delicious. I recommend this restaurant
Dan Denver
Very good variety of items. Great price. We stopped for lunch and were surprised to find this gem that wasn't advertised on the highway fast food signs. That's probably why their price was lower than I'd expected. I especially liked the fresh, sliced mackerel. I have saved this as a location in Google maps to return to whenever I come through this area.
Bill Beam
Place was very clean, and the tables were well stocked. The Asian dishes were made well. The crabs, however, were not hot, and were very tough. Definitely not worth the trouble to extract the meat from the shell. I would stick with the regular buffet, and avoid the weekend seafood buffet
Kevin Dean
I'd love to love this place... The first time I came, I was with my son and the food was hit or miss. The second time, everything was really good, so I thought that they must be doing something different. My wife doesn't like to go to places that I thought weren't consistent, but I convinced her based off of the last experience we had, and it wasn't good again. I'd say try it. You might show up on a good day.
Cody Rhoden
As frequent visitors and reviewers of China buffets, I can say this buffet is squarely a 3 star. The restaurant was clean and staff was friendly. Large sushi selection with diverse seafood as well. It was hard to point to an above average chicken dish, all were ok. We had a hard time putting together that one last closing plate. Desert was below average. We asked about getting a discount for a 5 star rating and our waitress confirmed we would get 10% discount if we gave a 5 star rating, when asked if a 4 star rating would get the discount the answer was no. This likely has artificially inflated the reviews. For $14 (no drink) it was on the high side for the value. It is worth visiting for the large sushi selection, however if this is the best buffet in town, consider stopping in another town.
Brad Schilling
For me it is everything you could want from a Chinese buffet. They have excellent and fresh sushi, and it makes it difficult to justify paying for sushi at a restaurant for a lot more. The food is good what you would expect from a Chinese buffet. They will hibachi grill food for you and even a soup station. I give it 5 stars because it's a great buffet. I'm not saying the food is always like a 5 star restaurant, but it is a great option for people wanting Chinese food and some sushi.
Kimberly B
Not a real fan of buffet, because I prefer my food to be pipping hot. But they did have a chef prepping food at the Mongolian section so that's what I had which was okay I still have to learn how to be able to mix the stuff myself so that it tastes great. The place was clean there were no fruit flies and they had a decent selection of sushi it did exceed my expectations.
Mickey Spencer
We took my dad here for his birthday at his request because he loved the seafood bar on a previous trip. I love the hibachi grill, and my mom just loves Asian food in general. My brother was visiting from CA and was very impressed at the low price for quality food.
Ryan Siggelkow
Only passing through town, but we struck gold stumbling upon this place! If it weren't a 6-hour drive, we'd be coming back often!
Staff was so kind; sushi was great; hibachi selections & preparation were terrific; desserts were the best I've ever had at a buffet (mocha mousse is a must try!); all the basics were covered well; and they even had a Thanksgiving spread for weary travelers away from family.
Joseph DeVuono
Tasty food, one of the few places one can find kim-chi. Buffet is large. Good service. Bathrooms are surprisingly clean for a buffet place. The decor is nice.
Shelly Anne
I've been wishing for a good Chinese buffet in town for a long time, and this hit the spot! Great ambiance, highly attentive wait staff, hot fresh food, and lots of options. The buffet was great. I personally enjoyed having four soup options. The spring rolls tasted like they had been made from scratch. The hibachi grill and the sushi add some nice variety. The sushi is good for a buffet--they keep it fresh. This place is doing things right!
Steve Ambs
Wide variety of Asian food buffet style. Small selection for add ons to a salad, but several fruit options & multiple dessert choices. Large dining area for plenty of seating. When we go there at dinner hour, it always seems to be a lot of people there. They keep the pans pretty full. They also have sushi & a hibachi grill. The buffet is reasonably priced.
Brandon Tigue
Best Asian buffet I've been to so far! The food was fresh and delicious! The sushi selection won me over! Great staff as well! Definitely will drop in to eat next time I'm in Louisville!
Adventure Nerd
Now that Yoki is back open. They are serving up that amazing food that we all love! I went there for lunch today and the only differences I noticed was small.
We had to wear single use gloves to get food. Face mask are encouraged as per state regulations. All employees are wearing the same. There is no ice cream. Other than that. Everything is still amazing and delicious.
If you leave hungry. Its your own fault. Yoki has always followed food sanitary guidelines and now they are following COVID-19 guide lines as well.
Diane Green
Hadn't been here in years because of old management. I'm so glad we came back. Food was delicious, staff polite and helpful, and the restaurant was clean. It's back to being the best Chinese buffet in town!
Jamie Paulley
I ate here when they first opened and the food was great. Went back this week and did not care for it at all. Hibachi grill was not open, the chicken was all tough sauce was good but couldn't chew the chicken, fried rice was flavorless. Didn't think it was worth the 11 dollars for it.
Mitch Steward
Great Selection with a Hibachi grill! Reasonably priced. Great to take the whole family.
Paradise Lunea
Tried it on a recommendation. Food was good could have been warmer but, the place is clean so that alone is worth 4 stars. Will go back.
Katherine C
The best buffet we have ever been to- 2 adults, 3 kids under 12 years old. We all were very happy. The price was fantastic as well.
denneva Arnett
Place was clean and updated.Employees were extremely nice and friendly. Food was pretty good about average for a buffet. I might try it on a weekend and see if its fresher. There were a few items not so fresh. Lots of options tho.
Lucrezia Lorenzon
Love it even now! Clean place, masks are a must and they give you gloves. I was a little afraid of going in (pandemic and everything), but I definitely enjoyed it and will come again soon!
Mya McCombs
Very clean, excellent scenery, not usually too crowded, lots of food options. Lunch and dinner service. Good for groups. Good for eating alone. Waiters and waitresses are excellent and very friendly, always speak pleasantly and friendly.
Kristina Stammer
What a wonderful buffet! Fresh cut sushi, crawfish, crab, raw oysters on the half shell. I paid forty total and that's with paying an 8 dollar tip including non alcoholic drinks. Next time I come back to Louisville I'm coming here for the Friday Night buffet. Unbelievably good.
Lea M
A lot of options. As with all Chinese buffets you need to time when you go. Some food sits and it's kinda gross. Go when they are busiest. Sushi is good. Nice raw bar. They really need coconut chicken for the kids though.
Vince W
I am currently in Louisville for business and was unsure about this place due to reading several reviews. I was extremely satisfied with the food and service. Lots of different choices and everything I ate was great. I went at 6:45 PM today and there were probably 20 cars in the parking lot. Will definitely return b4 my business trip ends.
Marci moo13
This is hands down The BEST sushi buffet in Louisville!! They have the best freshest sushi i have ever eaten!! The selection is incredible!! I had 4 plates and I dident even get to try it all!! Every thing was hot and fresh! The whole place was super clean and the staff is friendly and kind!! The Waiter helped us find all of our favorite things!! And the best tea around!! This will be the only buffet I eat at from noe on!!!
bill effinger
Was a really good meal, I enjoyed it, it was clean and as a Chinese buffet goes I'd say it's a 8 out of 10
Todd Bostock
They have tons of choices,sushi ,orange chicken,general tso chicken.ice cream,lots of fresh fruit.veru friendly staff..every time i get up to get food I have a fresh soda waiting for me.they fill soda for you..you don't get your own..i love this place.i don't eat sushi and still go here.plenty of regular Chinese style foods to choose from.but if you like sushi there is lots of fresh sushi too..good place.check it out!!!
Yuna Choi
My go-to place for Chinese buffets! Food is always solid and the service is great as well.
Maria Vega
Went to eat on a Sunday lunch. Had a pretty decent selection. Hibachi wasnt open till almost noon. Option for ppl to wear plastic gloves to self served. Sushi was good.
Maria Riley
Great selection of food. Loved the steamed fish, buns, and sushi. Will come back.
John Miles
I call this place, a little piece of Heaven! In my opinion, the best all you can eat Asian buffets in Louisville. The food is fresh, beautiful presentation and stays well stocked. A very wide variety of Asian cuisine which includes a full line Sushi Bar and everything at a very comfortable price.
Dr Harendra Joshi
Nice vegetarian options too.
Chris Bailey
Food is amazing. Gotta say... Every time I go here the food is always fresh. I've seen them replace entire sushi trays to make sure it all fresh. Trust me ..they aren't paying me to make this review... I'd go back Inna heart beat.
Megan Neal
Good was amazing I went twice n one day. My family thought it was a great experience as well. Be back soon!
Siddharth Diwanji
Loved the buffet. They have few unique items which I haven't seen in other buffets. Colossal shrimp at Mongolian grill. Priced pretty reasonable. I paid 13 on memorial day. Highly recommended
Jason Ho
The sushi selection and architecture are incredible, but I wished the rest of the food was that way. Other than the sushi and desert, there is only one line for "regular food" at the buffet. There aren't many selections. They do have a nice hibachi stand and a peculiar noodle stand that I've never seen at an Asian buffet, but these two options aren't particularly amazing. Still, there are nice things to look at while you wait.
Lorrywallah
Clean, good food, reasonably priced. Very good deserts, and fresh fruit. Spacious.
Steve Trowbridge
Wonderful food wonderful restaurant pretty good service. Are tuna salmon oysters all very fresh very safe and very good can't wait to go again have been many times always enjoy it. Take the family you won't regret it!
Eve Baker
This place was pretty good, a bit pricey but for what it had it was good. The bars could have been a bit fresher, we did go around 7 so I would expect it to be but they were busy so I understand. The staff was very nice and one even sat with a baby while their mom went up to get a Buffett so she didn't have to carry her.
Mike Dean
This place is an absolute pleasure to go to. My wife and I eat Asian cuisine frequently and are always searching for a great place. We live a couple hours away but frequently travel to Louisville and we had a usual spot but it’s recently declined in quality. We found this place via Googling and it will be a our new frequent spot. We ate there 2 days in a row on some business trips to Louisville.
The choices are excellent, wide array of food to eat, it’s hot, fresh and great tasting. I actually felt it wasn’t extremely salty like a lot of Asian restaurants are.
I had special requests with my drinks and the waitresses though maybe not able to understand at times due to language barrier were always friendly and helpful and got me exactly what I asked for and kept working to make me happy even if they didn’t fully understand. They kept the table cleaned off, my cup full and the place was clean. The lighting and the decor was super awesome to look at and it felt real inviting.
A highlight point for me as corny as it may be is I dislike sushi. I’ve tried several types and cannot get over the seaweed and I actually found one type that was fried I actually liked and ate so that was nice.
I’m not sure if it just wasn’t out for that day but I would like to see pineapple and those puff pastries on the bar as those are a couple staples I eat when I eat Chinese food but it was only a minor disappointment. I absolutely love the cream filled pastries, burnthere is literally so many choices it wasn’t hard to find something I wanted. The only thing I didn’t try was the Mongolian bar as that’s just not my thing.
All in all it was a great experience and we will be back frequently. The lunch buffet was priced fair though I guess the price goes up at various times of the day. It’s became our new go to place and we have already recommended it to some friends and family members. I’m usually pretty critical and rarely do I give 5 stars because there is always something everyone can improve on but this is certainly worthy of 5 stars for my standards.
I’d like to thank Yoki Buffet for the great experience and look for us to visit again and again.
Aden Fears
Food is always fresh. Good flavor quality the have a little bit of everything and have a good sushi selection. The staff is friendly and the environment is slightly upscale as far as Asian buffets go. Its a great place to stop in for lunch.
Aiahh d'Shunn
Nice varied selection. It's hard to find a nice buffet that doesn't have all of the same foods you can find at any buffet. There was a really nice variety of food items available. It was very clean. Nice clean bathrooms. We weren't hovered over or rushed. The plates were picked up and the drinks were filled regularly. It's very pretty inside bathrooms included. Would recommend.
Anindita Proma
It's good.. I have been there several times.. But the price is now $17.. it's too much for buffet
Nancy Gordon
Great assortment of Asian dishes!
Anthony Schneider
The Hibachi Grill and then sushi was so good and it was so worth the price I suggest you go and try it out !
Mike Henderson
My 1st choice for Chinese when in Louisville. I frequent many Chinese restaurants and for me Yoki has the largest selection of entree's, sushi and desserts of any I've been to. I also love the layout of the dinning area. They group several booths in sections which creates a cozy more private experience. The servers stay busy and are pleasantly attentive.
Jeffrey Druin
This is my goto when I am in East Louisville. Good consistent quality. The sushi is quite good for it being a buffet and the relatively low price point. The rest of the buffet is good as well, but I thought it would be sketchy when I saw a sushi buffet in Ky.
Amanda Stone
Awesome buffet really good food
Suzanne Groce
A real family place. So many offerings on the endless buffet that even the most finicky eater can find something to make them happy. Low point not enough info for gluten free diners to navigate the buffet safely. But love the endless sushi, desserts and main course choices.
AuthorCJackson
The food is hot and good. Great selection. Personally, probably won't visit again. Left full without feeling satisfied.
olin stout
Great selection and great service. Most of my selections seemed fresh
Cheryl French
Was hoping that they had stuffed mushrooms and mei fun noodles but did not, everything was good, worth the money and time driving. Covid prepared, must wear your mask and use the glove provided, while at the buffet area.
Ana Galo
Their service was great but their food could be much better they don't have a large variety and no Seafood in their lunch menu just cold shrimp that's just my opinion
HatArmor H
Hands down the best all-around Chinese buffet I've ever been to! Friendly staff, a million choices of food, and lots of desserts! I was very surprised and compelled to leave them a nice review. A+ for sure. It was like heaven if you are hungry and like a lot of choices!
Steve Heggie
Good food and service here. If you cannot find something you like to eat here, you are either too picky or not hungry. The Sushi is made before your eyes and the staff keeps things fresh and appealing.
Katie Malin
They have a varitey of well made sushi and sashimi on a full bar. The food is preped fresh. We've been twice in two werks with our three kiddos! The staff is super friendly
Brad Evans
While in Louisville for a 3 day business trip, I found Yoki Buffet on night #2. I will be returning on night #3. $15.00 for the buffet with an iced tea. The wait staff was attentive. The food was great, not greasy like alot of places. The buffet was well stocked and there was much food to choose from.
Patty Grey
Great food! Yummy.. the food there is the best. I could eat there everyday.
Barry Goldberg
The food was plentiful but quality was lacking. They don't speak English
Yoman Man
Excellent Chinese food in Kentucky. Great variety. Very good service. The waiters and waitresses even went to greet the girl for her birthday and sung for her big day. It's spacious and clean.
Marcella Allen
Great place to eat but they didn't seem to care about safety. Water or soda was spilt on a main route to seating and i pointed that out.. and then when i accidentally dropped sauce by the hibachi grill and told no less than three people who worked there about the hazard still no one showed up to clean it or acted concerned. They're a lawsuit waiting to happen!
DeAnna Lyninger
I think it's almost impossible to do quantity and quality, but overall Yokis does a pretty good job! The only thing that I was disappointed in was the hibachi grill. The food was prepared fresh, but it didn't have a lot of flavor. However there was enough on the buffet to make up for it! We'll go back for sure!
Byron Cloward
If you like Asian buffets, this place is a great stop. While visiting the area I dined here twice. No disappointments food was fresh and hot.
Ray's Forgotten Treasures
Large selection of food choices.
The server was mediocre as in attentiveness.
Food was ok for a Buffett type environment.
cheryl french
First time trying this buffet, was disappointed that there wasn't any beef offered at the hibachi side. No stuffed mushrooms or mei fun noodles or stuffed clams. Children unattended, using their hands to put things on their plate and wandering around others tables. The foodstuffs were average.
John Duce
I like this place good value. Great place to try new things. Can be hit and miss with food. Id recommend it. Has not made me sick. Very filling, great services, friendly and accommodating.
Richard Brown
It's still really new and the food was good and hot when it should have been and cold when it should be as well. We loved the atmosphere inside as well! Only concern I had was that the bathrooms seemed to be getting neglected in the cleaning process!
Abundant Life
The atmosphere is great! They took the building Hometown buffet used to be in and made it look fancier and more spacious! The buffet is pretty big! Plenty of fresh fruit, like pineapple, grapes, cantelope and delicious grilled chicken, and fresh fish, ect. Their was meat buns, mushroom soup and I really enjoy the corn fritters. Right now, lunch prices are $8.49 until 3.30pm which is awesome! Great place!
William Kannenberg
This buffet is less than one mile from my work, which is dangerous, because it's one of the best Asian buffets in Louisville. Fresh, hot food, and a wide selection of different dishes. Ginger shrimp is my favorite hot item, and they have my favorite cold item, too! That's the cold squid/octopus cut in pieces and served in pepper sauce. You cannot go wrong with any of it.
Joe V Howard Jr
We have a similar local restaurant where I live. This is much much better. Very fresh food, including the sushi bar, and hibachi grill. We are there at 7pm on a Thursday night, and the food was as fresh as you would find at any busy lunch or dinner time. I'd like to move this restaurant closer to my home...
Grace Reinking
Good food and if your wanting Chinese food this will hit the spot
Bourbon City Picker
The best place in Louisville to eat at.....after the co-v it is below average. You can not fix your own plate. The food is now sub par and lots of times old and cold. Going back to Jumbo and see if it's if not I'll be done eating out
Chef Holden Entertainment
Pretty good food, trays are almost always full, staff is friendly and serves fast, overall good restaurant.
Ben
Food was great and there is a large selection. All you can eat sushi that you can see made in front of you and all food I tried was fresh.
Waiters and waitresses were very prompt on offering refills and taking away used plates.
Joseph Hom
Very nice place! I went to Yoki since I lodged at a nearby hotel. For the price one pays (high I guess for the area), one really gets a lot. The buffet stations are very clean and there is a lot of variety. The spots that impressed me were the sushi prep station and the stir-fry/ soup/ mongolian bbq station. The staff is very friendly and attentive - too attentive in one regard in that when I returned from the buffet my soup spoon was gone. So I guess no more soup for me.. lol. I think this place is a gem.
Gary Wood
I have been to Yoki numerous times and like the variety and consistency of the food - especially the sushi. However, the overall cleanliness of the property (grounds and interior) seem to be suffering from a declining lack of attention. I particularly dislike having to step around cigarette butts that are accumulating around the entrance.
Edwin Uy
Nice place. It's big. Good for large groups. I reserve for 25-to 30 people. No problem. Food is also good. Sashimi is OK. Fresh Sushi. My favorites are the fish and crab legs.
Beverly Swaile
All you can eat Japanese and sushi for reasonable prices? Crazy. They'll make you hot soup or hibachi grill and you can go through the extensive buffet. All kinds of seafood and traditional dishes. Make the trip if you're in Louisville. You won't be sorry
Shawn Vega Velez
It's just another Chinese buffet. They didn't offer anything to stand out from other. The most irritating thing was a staff member sitting in the dining area eat. He was eating crabe by putting pieces in his mout, shell and all, cracking them open with his teeth then spitting them out I cannot say anything about another guest, but seeing staff do this at the table next to me was disturbing. I will say that the waiter and waitress in our are were very attentive.
Joel Murphy
Very broad selection of dishes from sushi to Mongolian BBQ to butter shrimp and hot & sour soup. Also includes things like (half) cheeseburgers and chicken strips, so you can feed that picky six-year-old.
Weekday lunch buffet is currently $8.99, great value.
Erich Ising
Get there early for the freshest food....

My GF and I have eaten at Yoki at least 5 times and it is pretty good. Sometimes better than overs and the food served varies sometimes. For instance sushi and rolls only except sometimes sashimi is offered. Update. Here twice more since this review and the place id very good tonight. Just ate here again today. The raw fish quality is good. I uploaded a couple pics of what I ate. This place like all other buffets is up.and down but the sashimi and sushi I eat have always been good. I'm not huge into rolls but even Yoshi rolls are good.

Many of the seafood items were good and a lot of the sushi was good too. It would have been nice if more of the food had been labeled. Also, putting fake crab legs in a dish dies not make it a crab dish.

As far as Chinese buffets go, this is my favorite one in Louisville. They have the best selection of delicious food, and stuff you can't find at other buffets. I especially love the steamed buns they have.

Very typical, generic Asian buffet which is not a bad thing but sadly the food was not fresh or hot. The service was good and the restaurant was mostly clean. They no longer serve beer which was sad to find out after the fact.

This place is actually pretty cool. It's an all you can eat Chinese Buffet. They have regular Chinese food, sushi, I saw a little salad. They also have ice cream and pudding. You pay when you leave. It's not all too expensive either. I paid like twenty five dollars after tax for two adults to eat. Totally would recommend this place.

The food here is flipping amazing! I absolutely love it. ❤️
Brady Campbell
Decent spot to grab a lunch. The burger didn't blow me out of the water, but it there was decently quick service and it seemed like a good value. Everyone that was working there was very nice as well.
Rena' Michelle Coleman
The food was fresh lots of choices and very flavorful. Choices of sushi well you have to try them all.
Mark Partin
A good Chinese buffet. Typical of most Americanized Chinese buffets. Good selection of food and desserts. The waitresses brought drink refills promptly. Overall the buffet was clean.
Erica Bell
Food was ok definitely not up to the hype of the other reviews. Tried to buffet first & then the hibachi grill...wish I got the hibachi first!!!! Buffet food was not hot & some dishes were overcooked & tough
Ahed Zare
Very delicious more than good I recommend you To try it.
John Cummings
Solid buffet. Variety of seafood on weekends. Especially for dinner. 8 dollars for lunch about 11 for dinner. Frog legs lots of shrimp and mussel. Sometimes the smaller crab legs are there. No one offers the king crab anymore. Stir fry is great
Kathi Kovacic
Great buffet, lots of choices for even the non-Chinese palate. Loved the fried dumplings, done of the best I've ever had.
Alberto Valdes
Very good selection of food! Price is more than fair for whatever you wanna eat from steak to sushi to seafood! Really cant complain nice clean friendly place definitely be coming back!

It's not a bad resturant. I like the sushi and it's interesting to see the chef make the sushi. The sushi is good although it's mostly Americanized versions of authentic sushi. The grilled good is good. But it's mostly American food (mac and cheese, Americanized orange chicken, ECT...). It's a clean restaurant with clean forks and plates. The atmosphere is amazing and you'll find plenty of aisen style decorations, and plenty of color changing lights. My favorite part though is the wall fountain you get when you walk in, very nice. That's my perhaps too long review.

It is a 5 star asian buffet. Personally I don’t think any Asian buffet is better than a 3 star restaurant, that is biased. It is a perfectly good Asian buffet.

Wasn't the nicest I've ever been to, but....
A. Food was fresh and constanltly being restocked, not just stirred around.
B. It was clean. (Including men's room.)
C. Service was fast AND friendly.
I'll definitely go back.

First time we dined here was a Saturday night at 8pm and the crowd was a whole lot thinner than I expected. I was pleasantly surprised at the variety of dishes they offered from blackened pepper chicken, steamed pork buns, spicy crawfish, and an endless seafood selection. I had my fill and a half of sushi and sashimi that was DELICIOUS. The only gripe I have about Yoki is that I didn't notice the ice cream until after I had already eaten my coffee cake because it was tucked away by the fresh fruit. Overall, great food and service for the price!
Trix
The food is very good, a lot of selection, only sometimes the people who attend the tables have a bad character $$$
collin kennedy
Food is decent. Service is alright. Not a big fan how they offer 10 percent discount if you rate them 5 stars. I feel this leads to a lot of false reviews out there
Gustavo Castillo
Good tasting food, great atmosphere, and amazing interior design. Huge selection of food and very organized. Well worth the cost if you like to eat. I definitely recommend this place.
The Official Reviewer
Ate here last night. The buffet was packed!
Please don't come here just to have orange chicken and rice, this buffet is mainly focused on seafood. Their crayfish, crab legs, and seafood medley were my main dish favorites.
Wanna try something new? Try out Yoki's lotus buns for dessert. Has a strong vanilla flavor and soft texture. Lotus buns are located nearby the soups. :)
John Porter
Good price. The food was mediocre. Most of mine was cold but the hibachi was good. Just needed more of a selection and a hot sauce.
Erin Gollinger
Nothing amazing about the food. Wasn't bad, but wasn't great either. Standard options, nothing out of the ordinary, nothing spicy. Staff was good at keeping an eye on what was needed, each time I came back to my seat my water glass was full and the check came a few minutes after I sat down with my dessert.
Shawn Braden
This would be a 3 star review if not for one thing. They have a really good mongolian grill portion that's always open. Other than that:
The food that's supposed to be fresh is questionable, several people that go with us always say they got sick later, and if you don't go during peak hours the food probably has sat there all day. That being said, it's everything you suspect from a buffet, and if you stick to the mongolian grill/things you can tell are fresh you're gonna be fine. The food is good otherwise.
PS. Dont get the oysters. I'm afraid just looking at them.

Lunch was awesome. Wish I had had more time, or a bigger stomach. Service was great and the experience, as always, was extremely satisfying.
Mark Anthony-Johnson
Semi friendly, but I'm not expecting 5 star customer service from a buffet. This is my first time in Louisville and or Kentucky and this is the first thing I've eaten so far. So far, it's pretty good. San Antonio and Texas buffets can learn something from Yoki buffet.
Tc Coombs
The sushi is great and made fresh in front of you, the oysters are so fresh, the crab claws are very tasty. Fresh food, great service, inexpensive. We go at least once a week.
Mary Beth Hansen
Food was good. Restaurant was clean. Large sushi bar. Mongolian grill. An interesting Asian soup bar. I was disappointed in the lack of vegetarian dishes. Other than green beans there were no hot vegetarian dishes.
Seong Kim
Tomahawk steak on demand!!! You cannot get any better than this! Everything else is excellent in terms of quality. The service from the manager was exceptional!
scott shutts
Meats was kind of tough and cold. Service was ok. Opened at 11 and I walked through the doors at 11:02 and they didn't have all the food out and what was out they didn't have spoons in most to serve. Was in a time crunch so this kind of threw me off. They should have been ready when doors were open.
jason Newbury
It was very hit and miss on some of the food.
Diana G
Has vegetarian food too Wich is great for me!!! Good service and is crowded so people like it.
Patrick Morris
Food was better than decent and the staff was friendly
Dmitry
Great atmosphere, a lot of different food to fit anyone's taste!
Mark Suna
Great food and clean atmosphere.
Sharmaine Dela Pena
A really nice place with a nice design. The service is good but I wish there would be more different food choices to choose from because after visiting a couple times, the menu becomes bland. Other than that, a good place to eat out with your family and friends.
Carlton Rose
This is probably the best Asian buffet in Louisville but as with all buffets people, it's all about the timing. Go at peak lunch 12-1 AM or peak dinner 6-8 PM for the best experience.
