Ichiban Buffet

On International Drive, Ichiban Buffet focuses on breadth rather than one speciality: a fixed price gives access to hot Chinese dishes, sushi, salads, desserts and a hibachi station. The branch’s website lists US$13.99 for weekday lunch from Monday to Thursday, until 3:30 p.m., and US$17.99 for dinner on those days; weekends use an all-day dinner rate of US$19.99. It is a traditional self-service buffet, a straightforward choice for a group with different appetites and tastes, rather than a destination for fine dining.

Diners’ impressions include praise for the selection, sushi, seafood and value for the amount of food. The reservations are just as clear: others find some dishes lukewarm or inconsistent, and opinions about service vary. That mix matters more than a promise of abundance: if you want to sample many things, the range helps; if you prioritise precise cooking or a quiet dinner, keep expectations measured. Families appreciate choices for children and adults, although the children’s rate depends on height and may vary by day.

The published address is 5529 International Dr, Orlando, FL 32819; the phone number is (407) 930-8889. It opens daily from 11:30 a.m., until 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 9:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The official menu specifies added gratuity for groups—13% for parties of five to nine and 18% for ten or more—so the advertised rate is not always the final total. To pay less, arriving before the weekday lunch cutoff is more effective than assuming every visit qualifies for the lower price.
