This Restaurant Was Named Best Buffet In Michigan

Author Kayla Morgan

Some people like buffets because they offer a variety of food. From appetizers to desserts, buffets usually have something for everyone. Mashed, a website dedicated to everything food-related, compiled a list of all the best all-you-can-eat buffets in every state.

As a Michigander, you’re probably thinking about Golden Corral, Ponderosa, or maybe even throwing it back to Old Country Buffet. Well, none of those buffet establishments topped the chart for Michigan’s best. Mashed stuck with local establishments, and excluded national chains with all-you-can-eat buffets.

Where’s the best all-you-can-eat buffet in the state?

The best buffet in Michigan is in Metro Detroit. The Fuji Japanese Buffet in Madison Heights has everything from sushi, oysters, mussels, and crab legs to crawfish, kimchi, and chicken feet.

They’re located in a strip mall at 32153 John R Rd, Madison Heights. Their operating days/ hours are Sunday through Thursday from 11 am to 9:30 pm and Friday through Saturday from 11 am to 10:30 pm.

Customers have also left some pleasant reviews on Yelp for the restaurant. One person mentioned the restaurant’s variety in their review. “So many choices on the buffet, and my first time seeing chicken feet! Soups, meats, raw oysters and more seafood,” said a review. “I am usually very skeptical of buffets but this place was great. It was extremely busy but we waited less than 10 min. for a table,” another review said.

5 Of the Riskiest Foods Linked to Recalls

A new Consumer Reports study has ranked the riskiest foods. They analyzed data from the CDC, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Department of Agriculture between 2017 and 2022. Their researchers focused on “widely consumed foods” that had recalls over a specific duration of time.

According to Consumers Reports, the CDC estimates that 48 million people each year fall ill from salmonella, listeria, E. coli, or other bacteria or viruses in food. They said most recover on their own after a few days. But about 130,000 people are hospitalized and 3,000 die from foodborne illnesses yearly.

Some of the foods that are ranked at the top of the list include bagged salads, poultry products, and deli meats. The top five are leafy greens, deli cheese and meat, ground beef, onions, and poultry. Bagged salads and other leafy greens ranked number one on the list. They found 50 different recalls linked to them since 2017. Also, it has the most caused deaths. Last on the list at number ten is flour. Unlike leafy greens, flour has had zero total deaths.

“We aren’t saying people need to avoid these foods entirely,” says Brian Ronholm, director of food policy at CR, who led the analysis. “After all, these foods are all usually safe, and many of them are in fact important parts of a healthy diet.” Ronholm continued to say in Consumers Report that the list underscores the “importance of following best food safety practices with all of your foods, including knowing how to track, and respond, to food recalls when they happen.” Read the entire list, and learn how you can reduce your risk at Consumer Reports.
