YAVA GRILL & BUFFET

I'm moving fast in the videos I shared so that I don't catch anyone in the video. They have a nice selection. The food is good if your looking for a decent Chinese buffet. The place is very clean. Not a pc of food out of place. The customer service is good as well. At dinner time I paid $44.xx for 3 people. A little pricey but hey, we got all of what we wanted.

Tried this place for the first time the other day. It's interesting because it was a Chinese buffet for yearsssssss then due to the pandemic it closed and became a seafood boil place. The buffet lost its zest and the seafood boil was a good attempt but then that flopped. Now it's back to its roots--new name but the original Chinese buffet. It's in very infant stages because the seafood boil decorations from the last place are still up lol I tried the food as takeout the other night and it was pretty good. I think the prices are a bit confusing because you get charged more for seafood vs the remainder of the buffet. For example, I had 3 shrimp in my platter and was charged for seafood compared to the remaining of the seafood buffet which had crabs/mussels/etc. I know shrimp is technically seafood but that was a bit weird to me. Overall, I will probably try it again as dine in to see if the experience is any different.

I tend to avoid buffet's due to the poor quality of food made in bulk which i'm not a fan of, however I was recommended this place by a friend so we all went. The food was cold, as if sitting there for hours. The options were not desirable, chicken was cold, other chicken dishes were just fat and the rice was bland. I tried to stay safe and avoided the seafood. stay far away if you're looking for good quality food.

Service was very poor. Had to ask each time you want to water. Have to pay extra if you want the ice cream that they have available there at the buffet. And $20 for the food seems quite high. And several food items were not very appetizing. And the ribs and egg roll or both had a strange and unpleasant flavor to them. The seafood medley seem to be over cooked or something that made it very very mushy. I really give negative reviews, but this place deserves it.

Good Standard Asian buffet, the sushi was actually decent as well, Servers were attentive. Place was clean

Fried crabs always mushy, fried chicken not good rest of food is good but needs to have better fried crabs

Most of the food was rather cool not hot. Leading you to wonder how long it had been there. The restaurant itself saw more take out than dine in. The expense of dine in, $16.99 pp, is steep for the offerings. This place was far better as a seafood boil. I don't see Yava lasting very long in this location. Far too many decent Chinese takeouts to compete with.
