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!

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.

Food, fantastically delicious! Very fresh! Side items are always kept full. Vegetables are so fresh and just the right crunch. Service is on top of their game and you can also order specialty sushi rolls. Our cups never went below half way empty and always were treated with a friendly smile. It’s not a big buffet but, it’s just the right items that most people enjoy. Looks like ownership did their homework on how to make their customers feel in a friendly atmosphere, fantastic flavor and just the right seasoning on each individual item BRAVO We asked for the hot tea, looks like the water used was filtered and not just dirty tap water The price you pay, is also right on point Win win for everyone

One of the greatest Japanese buffet in Miami! My girlfriend showed me this place and I was a little sketchy at first looking at google because most of the times these types of places tend to disappoint, but Shinju changed that for me. When we arrived for lunch, it was beyond packed and there was a 15 minute wait, but it went fast and became worth it. I didn’t get to try the hibachi station which I will do next time and will update this review. The boiled chicken with the broccoli and the spring rolls might be the best foods on the buffet! I will always be back to this place!

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!
