Makoto Japanese Buffet: Reviews & Ratings

The sushi is much like any buffet, good when it is fresh yet difficult to keep fresh all the time. The sushi does make a good appetizer most of the time. Common sense tells you that off peak will not be very fresh. The hot line is maintained rather well considering peak vs off variations throughout the day. The great thing about this buffet is the unique recipes. For example, the chicken wings are oven baked rather than fried. The fried fillet fish is wonderful. We call it chicken fish because the batter has a taste that resembles the taste of chicken. The French baked fish is another really good recipe. The little ice cream portions make a good finishing treat. Yes, they are small portions but I do not have a problem with returning for more occasionally. If taste quality is low on your list of concerns then you will likely be better served at any of the other Chinese "cook & dump" buffets where the price is about $2 less.
