Yoki Buffet sits along Alliant Avenue in Louisville as a practical choice for those seeking a broad Asian buffet experience with family or friends. Its large dining room, often busy even on late Friday evenings, serves up a diverse array of dishes ranging from Chinese staples to seafood and sushi, making it convenient for groups with varied tastes.

The atmosphere is casual and straightforward, with seating arranged to accommodate families and mid-sized gatherings comfortably. It’s the kind of place you'd visit for a no-fuss meal where the focus is on variety and value rather than fine dining. Regular lunch visits are particularly appealing given the buffet price around $12, which offers good bang for your buck considering the extensive selection.

Yoki Buffet’s menu highlights include classics like Orange Chicken and Lo Mein alongside more adventurous options such as frog legs and oysters on the half shell. Seafood selections stand out, with crab legs, steamed clams, and even salmon sashimi inviting a seafood lover’s palate. There’s also a hibachi station and a sushi area, which receive positive nods for freshness and flavor, adding a touch of made-to-order options within the buffet setup.

Practicalities to note include service that fluctuates—while generally friendly and attentive when approached, some guests have noticed drink refills can be slower during busy times. Still, the staff tends to show care, especially when issues arise, such as lost belongings.

This spot is best for families, casual groups, or travelers passing through who want to enjoy a wide range of Asian flavors under one roof without a long wait or formal setting. Early to mid-evenings and weekday lunches might be the ideal windows to visit to avoid the Friday night crowd. If you appreciate variety and a steady stream of fresh buffet dishes, Yoki Buffet offers a familiar, straightforward experience in Louisville’s Asian dining scene.

The selection at this buffet is incredible. So many types of entrees, a lot of sushi, and a big dessert selection as well. The food is fresh and well stocked, I didn't see them out of anything. The price was $12 at lunch time, which I think is a great deal.

We were passing through from out of town and tried them out. We went a little past dinner time, but they were still somewhat busy for a Friday. The selection was pretty diverse with seafood and other meats. Had a great selection of ingredients for hibachi and a sushi area. Our waitress never came back to refill our drinks, so we were pretty thirsty by the end of our meal. But overall the food was delicious.

My wife and I are on a strict diet, however we do one cheat meal per week. We love the Hibachi grill and sushi. The food here is fantastic and the service is great. I thought I had lost my phone here and they had everyone looking for it (turns out it had fallen inside my seat). However, they were really trying to help find it and showed great concern. We love this place!

I had an amazing experience at this Chinese food buffet! The variety of dishes offered was outstanding, but the highlights for me were definitely the sushi and chicken sticks. The sushi was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, offering a perfect balance of textures and tastes. The chicken sticks were tender and grilled to perfection, with just the right amount of seasoning. The buffet had an impressive selection of both traditional Chinese dishes and delicious sushi options, making it easy to try a bit of everything. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was welcoming, making it a wonderful place for a casual meal or a special occasion. Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving high-quality Chinese food with fantastic sushi and chicken sticks!

This buffet is acceptable. The price is good (about $15/person plus drink) and the food is decent. Friendly service when needed. 10/7/25
