Makino Japanese Buffet offers a delightful sushi experience that is hard to beat! The all-you-can-eat format is perfect for sushi lovers like myself, with favorites like the Green Dragon and Spicy Crab rolls that burst with flavor. 🍣

Seating was quick and our server, Martha, truly made us feel at home with her attentive service. The freshly prepared hibachi, especially the chicken and shrimp combo, was delicious as well.

The casual atmosphere is cozy, making it ideal for lunch or dinner. Just be mindful of ordering too much - leftovers can lead to extra charges!

All in all, a great value for a food stop in Knoxville! I'll definitely return. 🌟
