Makino Japanese Sushi Buffet - Irvine

This seafood buffet is one of the first-class japenese all they can eat restaurants. the environment is a kind of industrial plant, but the interior of the restaurant is very Japanese. we were first customers for the day and my friend david lee, paid for lunch so that the taste was even better. a little expensive, but eating is so fresh and server are polite. enjoy this restaurant if they like sushi and sashimi.

Excellent food and service, very friendly staff. social distancing and masks in use. great experience overall, highly recommended to try this place

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.
