Yoki Buffet Murfreesboro

A Longtime Favorite in Murfreesboro I have been a loyal customer of Yoki Buffet since before it even opened. Previously known as Chef Wang’s, I have been dining at this location for nearly 15 years. The reason I keep coming back is simple: although it’s a buffet, the quality of the food rivals that of regular restaurants. What truly sets Yoki Buffet apart from other buffet-style restaurants is the unlimited availability of high-quality dishes without delay. Exceptional Seafood Selection One of my favorite items here is the blue crab. Yoki Buffet serves blue crab in large quantities, ensuring that there is always plenty available. What impresses me the most is that the crab is fresh and delicious. I have often encountered a chemical-like bleach smell in blue crab at other buffet restaurants, but I have rarely experienced that here. Additionally, the crawfish and clams are incredibly fresh and flavorful. The cream shrimp and various chicken dishes are also well-seasoned and tasty. High-Quality Sushi & Sashimi What surprises many customers is the sushi quality at Yoki Buffet. Unlike typical buffet sushi, the rolls here are comparable to those at dedicated sushi restaurants. They offer a variety of rolls, including eel and shrimp, and even serve salmon sashimi. It's rare to find a buffet that provides fresh raw salmon like this. Hibachi & Dessert Options The hibachi station is another highlight, where fresh ingredients are cooked to order. Adding teriyaki sauce and hot sauce enhances the flavors, making it a must-try. The dessert section is impressive, with a wide selection of ice cream, fruits, and sweets to satisfy any sweet tooth. Ambiance & Service Yoki Buffet has a spacious seating area and ample parking, making it an excellent choice for family gatherings and casual meals with friends. However, because of its popularity, there is often a wait time, especially during peak hours. One drawback is the inconsistency in service. While some staff members are highly attentive and efficient, others may neglect drink refills and clearing plates. Cleanliness & Facilities One area that could use improvement is the cleanliness of the restrooms, which can sometimes be below expectations. Additionally, the lighting in the back parking lot is dim, which may feel unsafe at night. Recent Visit Experience During my most recent visit, I noticed that the food quality was slightly below its usual standard. I arrived around 6:30 PM, and some of the dishes seemed a bit stale. However, by 8:00 PM, fresher items were being served again. Because of this, I am deducting one star from my usual rating. Final Verdict Despite some minor flaws, Yoki Buffet remains the best buffet in the Nashville area. The seafood selection, sushi quality, and variety of dishes make it stand out among other buffets. I hope my next visit will be as amazing as before, and I look forward to updating my review again in the future!

A good place to go by yourself or with a group. Their food is very diverse. They even have sliced salmon and tuna if you want to eat it alone instead of sushi rolls. Occasionally, I see Frog Legs and whole Octopus here. Their proteins are always fresh, and their salad and dessert bar is always offering a crisp and refreshing lineup. I have been to many Chinese Buffets and this one is my #1 in the Middle Tennessee area.

Our first time here and it was a fantastic selection of a variety of food. Excellent price, I could see the value for the purchase because so many carryout buyers were stuffing their Styrofoam boxes. Sorry we haven't gone before, but we'll be back!

Hadn't been here in a long time, but I went last week and did not disappoint. They have a variety of food, and my favorite part was the sushi selection omg so good!! definitely a good place if your family can't make their mind up on what to eat because there will be something even for those picky eaters!

Decent Asian buffet with some fried seafood and sushi. I love that they have some sashimi available for dinner buffet service. The staff was quick to refill our sodas. The food quality is what you would expect from a buffet. The variety is great and you can fill up just by trying a sample of everything. The dessert selection could be a little better but I was good with ice cream and fruits. Overall it satisfied my Asian food craving. Thank you!

This is the place for hibachi, Chinese, seafood, even some American dishes. This place was recommended & it didn’t disappoint. Our waitress was spot on. They do have a sign on the several buffets, any food wasted you will be charged, which makes sense. We were throughly pleased with so many options, even the fruit buffet. For me & my husband was 43, he got water & I got a pop.

I came here today at lunch time and was surprised by the food and service. Love the setting of this place and love how friendly the servers and cashier was. The music is melodious as well. Price is reasonable for the food they serve as well. Will come back very soon.

As far as buffets, this one takes the cake. Large variety of very good sushi. Lots of options, everything is hot and consistent. Bathrooms need work but food is great
