Sukiya Sushi and Japanese Buffet
Costa Mesa
Sukiya Sushi & Japanese Buffet in Costa Mesa is an expansive all-you-can-eat venue featuring a massive seafood spread with snow crab legs, raw oysters, crawfish, and abalone. Diners can order unlimited made-to-order specialty rolls, sashimi, and A5 Wagyu via tabletop iPads, alongside self-serve stations for ramen, hot Chinese dishes, sushi donuts, and boba drinks. Creators heavily praise the sheer variety and value, highlighting dinner offerings priced around $40 with drinks included.
Viewer feedback is sharply divided and leans heavily critical, with many diners warning of poor food quality, heavy MSG, and oversauced rolls. Multiple commenters report issues with cleanliness, lackluster service, and even food poisoning, while criticizing price markups and surprise service fees. However, some prospective diners remain excited by the visual presentation and praise the fresh oysters and sashimi.
