    I moved close to this area and passed by this buffet restaurant many times but never got a chance to check it out. I finally went in today with my family. You will think they don't have that many selections of food and half of their food are sushi rolls. I judged too soon before I sat down and tried their food. I loved everything I had. Adult price $15.95 and kids over 10 years old also have to pay adult price which is pricey. Our party had 11 and 12 years old kids today and they ate very little and paid same as adults. They do not offer senior discounts like other buffet restaurants do.

    Overall, I think this place is amazing. I would also love to try their weekend dinner buffet so I can enjoy more seafood selections.

    I will be back heresoon!!

    It's been years since I've been to Kirin and in all honesty, I think the overall quality went down but it is a buffet.

    The salmon selections are really good. Though the baked salmon was overwhelming with mayo. I had the escolar sashimi and I couldn't even swallow it. It was sour and I'm guessing it's because of the warm temperature. The tempura selection were really good though.

    The service was phenomenal and was very attentive to our needs. We came last minute and he didn't rush us out and was very patient with us.

    I've been going to Kirin for a few years, and every time I have experienced great food and service on a consistent basis.  I should write more reviews for them, but its hard to keep saying pretty much the same thing over and over again because the sushi is just that DAMN good!

    I personally think that Kirin has the best salmon sushi in town.  That is usually my go to item, as you can probably tell from my photos.  Its a big chunk of salmon on each piece of rice.  Their tuna is also very good.  

    They have one section with all the sushi, while the other section has more of the traditional items. They also have Norwegian rolls which are delicious too and its a peppered salmon roll.  Their seaweed salad is very good too.

    Service is up to standards.  Their employees are pretty friendly and on point with refills and servicing tables.

    This place is pretty small so when this place is pack, you'll be waiting lol. This place is next to willow brook mall so incase no one see the place.
    So the food is moderate, I like it better than any other buffet and the sushi is better than other buffet. I went during lunch so it was $15.95 and incase no one knows but ice cream doesn't come with lunch time so I guess it's extra? $? Dinner for sure you'll get ice cream. You can also ask the sushi man to make hand rolls! I liked their sushi so I tipped them! Service I felt ignored but it's a buffet not expecting much. I'll be back to eat here again because I liked certain food here!

    Thank you for the food.
