| - I see this place has a three and a half stars rating on Yelp, and I disagree with this - categorically.
People set their expectations too high. Gotta remember this is Phoenix, city where baking like ham in the oven is what you consider a normal day. You gotta remember that this is buffet place that I am 99.9% sure was an Elk Lodge set that inspired Twin Peaks. And finally, you have to remember that any buffet that isn't called Golden Corral may not be what you expect.
It really doesn't matter when you go, each time I have gone it has had plenty of spaces to park and has been at about 15 to 20% capacity. They have a wide range eats like: cold crab legs, hot crab legs, ribs, sushi, carrot cake - basically, to harness the Captain Planet in me, you have the power! That is to either lower your cholesterol or give yourself Type-2 onset diabeeetus. But I digress.
Every piece of food I've gotten has tasted good, and I've never gotten sick. The service is impeccable also. I was seated for about 1.6 seconds when a lady came and got my drink order.
Bathrooms are pretty pristine also. The mens bathroom is quite clean, which is telling since it's a buffet. Typically when you have a buffet or somewhere where people consume large quantities of food, things can go wrong, and bathrooms can be the first victim. But it's spotless just like Jasmine.
For Phoenix, this a great buffet place to hit up. If you are looking for a buffet of the caliber of the Bellagio Hotel, look elsewhere, mainly Vegas. If you are looking for somewhere to eat when you really don't know what you want, but wanna get out and have a wide array of options that won't disappoint, hit up Jasmine Tokyo.
