They…read morehave a great Mongolian area with lots of options, and their normal buffet has great options as well. The only thing that I wish they would do differently is include the potatoes on the buffet on the weekends and not just during the week. They do fries instead of the diced potatoes with onions on the weekends and it's just not my favorite. Aside from that, this place is really good. The service is always on point and the staff are very friendly and attentive. Restrooms are clean. Your experience is consistently good across all your visits. Highly recommend eating here. This is one of the cleanest and best cared for buffets that we have ever been to. Edited to add: The buffet is also constantly cleaned. They are always going through stirring the food, swapping it out for a fresh batch and dumping any extra food if it's been out at the time limit for the day. They are meticulous about this. It's one of the cleanest buffets I've ever been to.

There's even outdoor seating and a rooftop (pretty sure I spotted that), but with it being 30 degrees out, I kept my Missouri-born self firmly indoors. I was seated right away and handed both the full menu and their daily lunch menu, which comes with two choices: vegan or non-vegan. Plot twist -- even the non-vegan option arrives as a full-on sampler platter with a veggie dish included. My plate came stacked: fluffy basmati rice, rich butter chicken(top middle), tender chicken tandoori (top left), a hearty vegetable curry (top right), three massive slices of fresh naan, and a little dessert to finish things off. All for fifteen bucks. Fifteen! It's easily one of the best lunch deals downtown. Everything was hot, fresh, and packed with flavor -- except the dessert (bottom middle), which was cold(because it's supposed to be, but still super tasty. Zayka absolutely delivers on bold, authentic Indian cuisine at a price point that just feels unfair to everyone else. The buffet must still be an option, but not Thursdays apparently, so I'm already planning my return trip.

I was really disappointed with my visit to Incredible Food and Fun. The restaurant was crowded and…read morefelt unorganized, with long waits for both the food and the attractions. The food was underwhelming--many items were cold, stale, or not refilled in a timely manner. The dining area also wasn't as clean as it should have been, with dirty tables left sitting for too long. One thing that immediately stood out was having to sign a liability waiver. It was honestly startling and gave the whole place an untrustworthy feeling before we even started having fun. Instead of making me feel reassured, it made me question why such a broad waiver was necessary in the first place. My first thought was, "If everything is as safe as it should be, why is a liability waiver needed?" Whether that's the intention or not, it created a negative first impression and made me less confident in the experience. The arcade and attractions looked fun at first, but several games were out of order, and the ones that did work weren't always functioning correctly. On top of that, the staff didn't seem interested in helping and often appeared overwhelmed or uninterested when customers had questions. The prices have also become outrageous. Incredible Food and Fun used to be an affordable place where families could spend an entire day without breaking the bank. Now, it feels like going there is something you have to save up for. Between the admission, games, food, and everything else, the cost adds up incredibly fast. For what you're paying, the quality of the experience simply doesn't justify the price. Overall, the experience wasn't worth the money. I expected a fun family outing, but instead left frustrated and feeling like I wasted my money. Between the declining food quality, lack of cleanliness, expensive prices, concerning first impression from the liability waiver, and poor customer service, I can't recommend Incredible Food and Fun in its current state. I genuinely hope they make improvements because it used to be a place I enjoyed visiting, but based on my recent experience, I won't be returning.

We get a good price as we usually put $$ on the game cards and that will basically give us a free buffet. The service behind the counters, both at check in and ordering a pizza, is amazing as they always have a smile on their faces. However, it seems the last few times we have visited, the quality of the food has dropped quite a bit. Even when ordering a special made to order pizza it seems sub-par. When we used to order a thin crust pizza it would be hot and crispy crust. These times it seems they have sped up the conveyor on the oven and they've been undercooked and soggy. The thicker crust pizzas on the buffet are usually quite doughy which makes me believe I may be on the right track. With other arcades available in the area we may find an alternative to our monthly pizza/game outings. The atmosphere of the place is great. Like I said; those behind the counters usually wear smile and are of great help. It's fun to watch the families enjoy this place as we did when our kids were younger and we brought them there. Even better is 98% of those kids are very well behaved and are quite polite. (Thank You Parents) We may give it one more try in a month or two and if things improve, I will make great effort to update this review as such. Have a Happy Day!

I have to say as this used to be my favorite buffet what a friend recently told made me want to hurl. She found a worm in her food and when she asked about it they said it was because they sprayed their food. And I bet you can guess what with. This is sad.

Triple Eight is one of the two Chinese buffets in Republic but the highest rated (not by much(0.6…read morestar difference)). It also serves as a dine-in in the first 3/4 of the restaurant. The buffet, small as it is, takes up the remaining 1/4. When I say small, the dining area is pretty cramped requiring some back rubbing with the other patrons in order to get in and out of your seating. The buffet is a double-sided buffet line with the usual rice, lo mein, General Tsao chicken, crab ragoons, egg rolls, etc. the honey chicken was notably good as was the buttered potatoes. The highlight is the steamed crab legs but be prepared to negotiate with the other patrons you've been rubbing backs with because they disappear fast. The service is nice and attentive to clearing plates and refilling drinks. The staff is very pleasant. Overall, it's a nice place worth a visit.

Old faded, grime near the walls on the floor. The service itself was quite good. We were seated, ordered and served very quickly. We ordered the tempura shrimp appetizer and teriyaki chicken dinner. The tempura was as it should be, crispy with the shrimp still moist. The Yum-yum sauce went with it nicely. The teriyaki chicken was ok. The white meat chicken was a bit dry. The vegetables were good as were the noodles and rice. We noticed they did a lot of takeout so the food is good. It is just the ambiance that didn't meet our desires for a celebratory meal.

The first time I visited St. Louis, I had amazing Chinese food,but I still wasn't expecting this level here in Springfield. I've actually walked past Corner 21 multiple times and kept going to the restaurant across the street... yeah, big mistake. The food here is legit Northeastern Chinese cuisine, super authentic, not watered down, and full of flavor. Everything we ordered was spot on, and the dishes came out pretty quickly too. For context, I grew up in Asia and have lived in California for 25 years, so I'm pretty selective when it comes to Chinese food. This place easily holds up even compared to spots in LA. Service was great. Our server, Allen (天宇), was friendly, attentive, and just easy to talk to. It felt welcoming without being over the top, which I really appreciated. The space itself is clean, nicely set up, and has a comfortable vibe. And I have to say the milk tea was ridiculously good. I've been drinking boba since I was a kid, and this one really stood out. Even my coworkers (who aren't Asian) loved everything, which says a lot. Didn't expect to find something this authentic in the Midwest, but here we are. Definitely coming back.
