| - They have sashimi and nigiri style sushi. You can get salmon (sake), tuna (maguro), and yellowtail (hamachi) in either style. The bad news is that they are chronically slow at putting this food out, especially the sashimi. I put up a picture illustrating the problem, I visited the sashimi section twice over the course of 20 minutes and that picture represents what it looked like the entire time.
Another problem is that this is the worst yellowtail I have had anywhere in Charlotte. It is tough - a hybrid between eating a raw potato and eating actual yellowtail. The color and flavor are both off as well, the yellowtail is opaque and not a hint of pink. There are plenty of pieces with bright read streaks are far thicker than they should be because they are cutting the fish to maximize the volume and they overdo it. I suspect they are using leaner yellowtail caught in the US instead of the heavier fish raised in Japan.
With all those negatives you are in for a treat if you like salmon and you can find any. They don't mess up he salmon, and the tuna is alright.
All the other items are typical of a Chinese/Mongolian/Japanese buffet (not the three separately, it is typical of any place that offers all three). You have the ubiquitous and over doughy dumplings and won-ton, multiple varieties of heavily breaded and deep fat fried chicken (pepper, Tso's, sesame), chicken wings, pizza, overcooked prime rib (calling it prime rib is misleading).
This place can probably pass for a 3 or 4 star when they have the good stuff on display but as is typical for these types of places they open strong and then reduce the quality hoping you will keep coming and strapping on the feedbag.
Tokyo Grill & Buffet suffers from the same problem as all its counterparts: it looks the same, it tastes the same, and the flavor / quality is lower on any dish than if you ordered the individual dish at a normal restaurant.
I usually enjoy the variety of a buffet but at this buffet the food all tastes so similar that there is little variety. Unless you want to indiscriminately shovel food into your face I would skip this place. In the alternative you could buy 1lbs to go of the sashimi for $4.50 and stick to the salmon and tuna - this way you could make yourself a boat load of sushi at home for very cheap. I doubt they will keep letting people buy 'sashimi' grade sushi for $4.50/lbs so get it if they have it while they allow it.
