Good value Asian-style buffet. Liked the sushi rolls, steak, and Asian ice cream flavors. The service was quite fast without being intrusive and the atmosphere kind of for families. Would come back.

It had been years since I've visited this restaurant and I was extremely impressed. This does not feel like a buffet. The atmosphere is lovely. The restaurant is extremely clean and the food is fresh. If you like sushi this is a must!

I've been a patron of this restaurant for over a decade, the first location I went to was further north. Great prices for the food they cycle through the good stuff, like tempura shrimp only for dinner, possibly on the weekends, only. I usually go here for lunch. My only complaint is how long I have to wait in the hibachi line even when there's only two people ahead of me. I was gone so long, my husband had time to get another plate. I CANT GIVE 5 STARS: I always ask for "rare" and the cook always over cooks the meat, it never fails..

Food and service was good. We went for birthday and it worked out perfectly. My wife has a bad seafood allergy and they worked with us and she got her food separately. That made her visit amazing. We loved it and you will too.

After going to several Asian style buffets, Shinju is still the best. The freshness of their selections is phenomenal. Honestly though, I'd pay just for the hibachi. The cook makes it exactly how you want, very good options and again, the freshness is great. Plenty of variety with hot dishes, desserts are typical of buffets but still good. Service is good and as expected for the type of restaurant. Basically, if I'm in the area, I'm stopping by for lunch here 10 out of 10 times.

I was so excited to finally check out this place, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! My family and I decided to go for lunch, and we got there just in time—literally a few minutes after they opened. By the time we left, there was a crowd eagerly waiting to be seated! It's no wonder this spot is so busy; the food is absolutely incredible! I tried almost everything they had, and everything was really delicious. I’m telling about it to all my friends to come back!

The cheapest buffet I ever have. The food was variety and fresh. The service was excellent.
