It has been many years since oir visit to this place. Well, glad to visit this place and dine in for the 1st time since the outbreak. The food quality has suffered a little but still enjoyable dining with others around us. Kids loved the food since they were getting tired of eating home.

Probably one of the worst entry control methods around — sign up at the door. But late comers we’re adding their names to the bottom where there were no lines for names after a new column was created, basically cutting the line. After that it was okay but the threat of fomites transferring to another person touching the tongs was very high. Staff works incredibly hard though.

Fantastic food and great staff. They have made a major modification for the pandemic: it's still all you can eat but instead of of buffet stands, food is made to order and there is less variety.

This sea food buffet is one of top class Japenese all you can eat restaurants. Surroundig area is sort of an industry setting but interior of the restaurant is decorated very Japanese.
We were first customers for the day and my friend, David Lee, paid the lunch so taste was even better. A little expensive but food is so fresh and servers are courteous. You will enjoy this restaurant if you like sushi and sashimi.

Their sushi & seafood's quality is pretty good, including to-go bento box. Also their service is very responsible and polite! They all wearing masks everytime and allow guest to enter into inside with 25%, also provide outside patio options. Thank you for your great service even in this difficult COVID-19 situation. Thanks!!

We went here to celebrate our 5th Anniversary and the restaurant did not disappoint. We are all accustomed to the idea of buffet food being ok, but not great. Well Makino breaks out of that mold. The restaurant is very nice, not too big like many others where you feel like you are in a hall. The staff was so nice and attentive. I want to give a special thanks to our server Linda and the manager Tomomi Brooks. The were both there for everything we needed to make our night special. The crab legs were really good and the sushi is the best I have ever had at a buffet. All of the food was super fresh and was continuously being replaced with fresh as the trays were emptying. The sukiyaki was spot on. The selection of dessert while not as vast as some others, was very good and satisfying. It was a wonderful evening and we will be visiting again. So if you are having a taste for buffet, give Makino a try. You won't go wrong.

We love going to Makino Sushi. They have a fresh variety of rolls, hot foods, salads and desserts. The place is really clean and the service is great. I'm kinda hooked on their spicy soy sauce.
