This is exactly what bowling green needed. Don’t listen to any of the low reviews. This is one of the best restaurants I’ve had in years. Teriyaki chicken was amazing. All of the food was warm and good quality. The sushi was a personal favorite. Desert was fresh. The crab Rangoons were a table favorite. Will be back. Sugar donuts were really good too. Someone next to me told me this is exactly what it tasted like in Japan!

We had a larger group than what we knew about. But the staff was very good in accommodating us! Good food! Only, downside was that the food wasn't labeled as good as it should be. Very friendly and helpful staff. We'll come here again.

4.5 stars Golden Hibachi Buffet is the best deal for the money in Bowling Green in terms of meals. Place is showing signs of wear and tear but is efficiently cleaned between patrons. It can seat large groups effortlessly and the staff keep everything moving. Food selection is very large from Asian to American with some others tossed in. My favorite is the hibachi bar, where you can choose your cold food items and have them cooked quickly in front of you with different seasonings and sauces. The sushi person is continually making fresh sushi, and it's pretty good, but doesn't have expensive toppings, mostly veggies and imitation crabmeat. The other on bar items are good. The desserts vary day to day but ice cream is always a favorite. Very hard to leave without feeling extremely stuffed.

This place is great, service is friendly, food is good. Went twice with my dad, who is in a wheelchair. The staff were very accommodating, and quickly removed chairs from a table so he could sit at it. The food is good for people with autistic sensory sensitivies, I could find loads to eat that didn't bother me in that way. Highly recommend the rice noodles, they're the best texture experience (just be careful of the onions hiding in them!).

Nice and clean. Staff was kind and welcoming. Restrooms were clean. Good variety of foods. Along the back wall is a section of sushi, along with hibachi cook to order. Small salad bar, a desert section, hot soups, and 3 more areas of hot foods. Common Chinese favorite foods like rice, lomein noodles, Mei fun, sesame chicken, Mongolian beef, beef and broccoli. Different choices of ice creams and snacks, if you have room afterwards. Will be back again.

Went with my family. Everyone found something to rave about. The meats were succulent. The veggies were fresh. The sushi was fresh and flavorful. The smells were a delight. There was seafood and red meats, along with ham and chicken. Pleanty of veggies fruits and yes salad items. Dessert options included fruit baked goods, jellos, and ice cream. We, of course, had a fortune cookie as is my family's tradition. I hope everyone who goes there has as wonderful of an experience as my family and I did.
