This place is great. Family friendly, the hibachi was awesome and the chef did many tricks

Very friendly and great food! Be aware, this place is closing soon (late December?) So eat there while you can.

Edit: first trip i left 5 stars, this second and last trip i had to reduce it. I don't eat a lot in one sitting. I can't. So other buffet places will let me get a to-go box, fill it up, weigh it and pay (or add it to our bill) this way my husband can pig out and i don't have to waste money when I don't eat much. The first time we came i didn't ask for the box this time we did and the owner said no. When my husband started to fuss a little I threw my hands up and said don't worry about it, I'll pay $19 for my 3 bites and gripe about it later. The owner agreed that i shouldn't pay that price if i wasn't very hungry. So he's semi reasonable- he let me sit with my husband and drink a coke while my husband made a few trips to the buffet. They expected me to do my to-go box after my husband finished but I was starving at that point and didn't want to eat my food in my truck.Personally just don't think you're losing money or wasting food if i eat my box at the table or in the parking lot but that's the rules. Oh well.---------------We were on this side of town house sitting, looking for something cheap but filling. But dang¡ We did not expect to replace our favorite Chinese buffet!We live in OP and typically hit up Orange buffet for this kind of meal but Osaka is definitely worth the 10-15 minute hike across the Buckman!My husband said the crab was the best buffet crab he's had. I loved the sushi selection.There is hibachi it's just hidden in the back.Lunch prices are where it's at!!The shopping center is run down and made me nervous about the quality but this is truly a hidden gem

This place used to be good, but not anymore. Just a huge disappointment of OLD food that has been sitting there all day....even the sushi!! Very few choices and did not even have the staples like eggdrop soup. The cost was 18.99 a person. I used to love it. So sad. Don't waste your money!

Had a great meal, missed eggfuyoung however plenty to fill a plate.... twice

Way over priced for the food. Other buffets are $4 cheaper with better service and food. The waitresses and manager were busy playing on their phones rather than attending to customers. Called out multiple times for more drinks only to be ignored while they continue to have conversations with one another 10 feet from our table.

The service remains excellent as always, but food selection has declined. No more clams, hard boiled eggs and ice cream. The quality is not what it used to be. Dinner is horribly over-priced at $19! Not worth it. Go to Orange Buffet instead on Blanding Boulevard in Orange Park.

Disgusting. I didn’t even finish my first plate before leaving. The restaurant itself was not well kept and there were numerous old stains on the walls and water damage on the ceiling. The food was suspect and tasted old. They supplied masks and gloves but there were several patrons just walking around coughing with no regard…fitting with the overall quality of the food and surroundings. Please close for a week and do a deep clean and explore new and better quality heating stations for the food.

Price was a little high for the quality of food, the food looked like it had sat around all day hot food was cold and some was burnt
Andrew Nauman
The food was a good value for the price. They definitely need to make some updates in the dining room (ceiling tiles, better cleaning, etc). Most of the signs on the buffet itself were missing so you had to guess what you were getting, lol.
This place has definitely seen better days... not sure what has change but the buffet food was extremely old and cold. The manager had the audacity to ask if we wanted the food warmed up... as if I am trying to get out of paying.... money is no an issue and very well capable of paying for a $100 food tab. But I expect the food to be worth it.

Use to be the best Chinese buffet in Jacksonville but not anymore! If the owner is reading this, please remodel to like new again and bring your food quality back to what it once was. I will not eat here again until…

Over priced. Paid close to $47 for the buffet. Almost $19 per person. Very small selection of food. I must say that Sakura has a very large selection to choose from and the price is $4 cheaper. The food and dessert selection was a lot more. They also recognize military with a discount. Osaka does not. When we left the restaurant, the waitress was talking to another waitress about us because I didn't leave a tip. First and last time we go to this restaurant. Stay far away.

I'm going to be honest, I've grown up going to this buffet so I know it's potential! When I tell you I was BEYOND disappointed to see they were all out of crab legs and then even more confused when I went to get my food and saw that they're trying to charge 59.99? For Crab legs... I was upset, I get the usual mark up, I respect the hustle of these businesses staying afloat and all, but I then got seriously ill after eating her last; I went with 2 others who also got violently ill. The 2 stars was for the wait stuff, if not for them I'd be giving one and saying I wish it could be a 0, so courteous and so quick too(they left a pitcher of mtn dew at our table as we were the only ones drinking it and my party was very thirsty) All in all I'd say the food isn't worth the price point or the illness you may endure afterwards, that's just my opinion

The food is cold, dry and all around not good, and even though the restaurant has multiple other tables filled with people, the staff has been starting at our table ( the only black people) and rushed to give us our check even though there have been people here longer than us and they have yet to get theirs. As someone who never leaves reviews, TAKE THIS AS YOUR RED FLAG AND RUN!
