This is another one of the SMALL amount of restaurants I class as a birthday restaurant it is SO GOOD! First, the ambiance, as the American I am who has NEVER traveled out of the country this is what I have been brainwashed into thinking is Asian, but they do have Asian workers. The service was amazing they came often and were really nice. And then the food, ooooh the FOOD! The EVERYTHING IS GOOD, except their replication of American food but THAT'S NOT WHY I'M HERE! The spring rolls: crispy and warm, the rice noodles: just pair them with anything and BOOM, you're good. So what I say is, go here and leave a big ahh tip. read more

Food is amazing!!! Best buffee ever and has a sushi bar in the back. Love coming here and highly recommend.

I have been going to this location for years. They are beyond friendly such a wonderful group of people. For a buffet it's wonderful. You are not going to a five star restaurant. Nothing is perfect in this world. Yet overall I would recommend this location . I'm grateful for all the hard working employees. Thank you all for the good times. Thanks. read more

Well to start off when me and my friends went to dine somewhere we decided on Asia Buffet. When we arrived we were warmly greeted by a nice lady, and shown directly to our seats and got our drinks. Soon after we were browsing the food and let me tell you, there was quite the selection. From freshly made sushi, to crispy chicken, there was something palatable for every taste. Lastly the atmosphere. Many multicolored lights and ornate seats put together a very good experience for me. My personal favorite touch of decor was the mirror which spanned the entire wall of part of the restraunt which gave the illusion of an infinite building. So to finish things off, yes you should go to Asia Buffet read more

Used to be my favorite Asian buffet in town cause they had dumplings. And decent service. No longer have dumplings. Prices have gone up significantly. The table I sat at had tons of trash under it. I had to practice to get my coke refilled. Can't recommend. Especially with sushi City in the same plaza read more

Asia Buffet - A curly black hair left in my coconut shrimp - Buffets Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

Asia Buffet is one of the best Chinese Buffets in in the Southeast United States. All the food was freshly prepared and was delicious. The buffet featured Mongolian Beef, Beef with Broccoli and many other dishes with chicken and pork. The soups and sushi were served with excellent variety. Service was impeccable and the prices are very reasonable. I eat there at least once a month. Did I mention it's only several blocks from exit 4 off Interstate 75, north on Shallowford Road in the business complex at that intersection. (Behind Champy's Chicken) read more

I was treated really bad at Asia buffett on lee hwy. I was asked in front of several people to pay up front but nobody else was made to pay up front I was asked to move from where they sat us because I quote " someone no like you" so they put us in the back corner where there was no television and the server never came back to our table to clear plates or refill our drinks I was very upset and cried the whole time because they treated me like trash and it upset me that they done this in front of the whole restaurant which was really embarrassing I am human I have feelings too I paid 38 dollars for a meal I did not even get to eat I think I should at least get my money back we did not even get our fortune cookies when we left as I said the server never came back to our table I am going to talk to the Better Business Bureau first thing Monday I am not going to let these people get by with treating me like this I spent my money there and should have gotten treated the same as everyone else they were very rude and they were not professional at all I think someone needs to show them how servers are supposed to treat their customers this is not the first time they have been really rude to me and I think it is discrimination because we had our back packs and bags with us because we are homeless but we had the money to pay for our dinner and still got treated like shit so I paid for the two of us but I was to upset to eat so I went outside I think I should get a refund of 38 dollars for being treated that way in front of a crowd of people. read more

Feels dirty and out dated. Does have lots of food options on the buffet. Dirty feel over rides food options.

Oh my god I love it here. Me and my bestie went for the first time tonight and everything was delicious and they had such a variety of good food. 10/10 recommend. read more

Without a doubt the worst buffet I have ever been to. Very cheap selection of food...and very oily. Service was non existent. The worst part is the price...$85 for 2 adults and 3 kids. I will never return. read more

Absolutely the worst Asian Buffet I've ever attended (and I have been to hundreds). Upon entering the place looked dated and remind you of the 70s. To start, I was seated at a dirty table and the server was upset because I asked him to wipe the table. I'm thinking at this point the place was losing so the only thing to save it was the food. Nope! I started with the sushi. HORRIBLE!!! Next I said let's try the hot & sour soup. HORRIBLE!! Next I tried the egg drop soup. HORRIBLE! I was determined to find something that tasted good so I thought a Chinese restaurant couldn't mess up fried rice. Wrong, HORRIBLE!! This place is a mess. Worst Asian food I've ever encountered. When I left, I went straight to Taco Bell for a taco. read more

Was hoping for the buffet experience but was disappointed. Bad selections, dirty buffet counter tops, food that was out just didn't look right. Shady looking clientele, opted for a quick take out off the buffet, fried wonton was safe, general chicken sucked. Got practically nothing. Only paid $5 for small portion. What's up with all the non food crap they are selling? Is it a buffet or flea market? Interior just looked old and not taken care of...take your chances I'd give it zero stars for f I could. read more

Food is fresh and delicious, the interior is a little worn but if you can look past that you enjoy the food. Lots to choose from, I found my new place. read more

It's an interesting experience to eat at a buffet during covid. They have glass that prevent customers from interacting with the food and allow the customers to pick the food to be plated. They will give your food through a slot in the glass to maintain healthy conditions. The wait staff is friendly and will do their best to serve you. Although there are some language barriers, they still do their best and maintain professionalism. One of the waiters will be maintain the dining area and providing refills at a decent rate. The food is pretty decent for a buffet. Although not everything is cooked to perfection, it's still edible. The chicken on a stick is a little dry but the veggies, general tso, beef with broccoli, and bean sprouts are good. If you go for sushi, I would recommend basics only because you can visibly see it's fresh. Some of the saucy rolls seem to hide some refried shrimp. Although it's not the best food ever, they created an interesting experience during these times. I recommend coming here, but I also recommend timing your dining with their cook schedule. read more

I have come here for years with my kids and coworkers and have always had the best attentive service and the food is always fresh and hot! I would recommend! read more

Visited once upon request and I must say the atmosphere is a bit messy. The mirrors next to the dining areas were filthy with hand marks all across them. They had to have been there for some time because we arrived as soon as they opened so we could insure the food would be fresh and not "picked over" & nobody had been seated there. The booths were ragged and need to be repaired. There are rips in the ones that have not been swapped out yet and the ones with removable cushions had so much OLD food caked in them. The floors didn't look to be cleaned regularly and they could use a deep cleaning or replacing. Signage on the table was dirty/stick. The food seemed to be decent but I couldn't really enjoy it while being disgusted sitting in "filth". Staff seemed to be nice enough and that would be the only saving Grace here. Will definitely NOT be back. read more

This place is ok to get a quick asian fix. The food was average and seems to be left outside for a bit but cant really complain for 12$/person The atmosphere was not bad looking super american chinese. I'll probably be coming here as its next to the gym I signed up to. Overall not bad for lack of better options. read more

Heard this was better than another buffet in the area, and that was far from true for us. The food tasted like it had chlorine in it, we stopped into our first plate, paid, and left. We won't be back.. the inside was gross, not many options. read more

1 star is the service. The food is alright but the service is horrible. Our experience was when we tasted the ketchup and it clearly tasted expired. We asked a server for another ketchup and she ignored our request. Then we let another server know we wanted another ketchup and he walking away told us there was some at the bars but once we let him know it tasted expired, he responded with "whatever." They were very unprofessional as well with employees screaming and not even paying attention to what you were saying because they had headphones in. read more

The restaurant was reopened the end of May 2020, after two months' closing due to the COVID-19 lockdown. Now the customers are separated from the food by a glass shied, and the server is behind the food. This is not as convenient as self-serving, but it's the best solution. The number of items is greatly reduced. But there are still far more than one can eat. The quality of the food has not changed much. It still has decent food at very reasonable price, with minimum wait time. But the take-out is not as good as before, because of the arbitrary price the cashier charges. Once I paid $8.99 for 1 1/4 lb of food - while they claim the price is $4.99 per pound. I don't even recall I saw her weighing it. No one wants to fuss over $2. But I wish they'd be more straightforward. So I stopped getting take-out. read more

The food is standard Asian buffet, but with a few additional items, which are more traditional...like chicken feet, different jiaozi and baozi. The interior is rather dated and worn, but the service is efficient and the cashier was nice. Several of the dishes had flavors I wasn't expecting to taste in the states...more traditional flavors that I had in China. read more

We came at 8pm. Parking lot was not very busy, we were suffering colds so we wanted to enjoy some hot tea and soup among other things. EVERYTHING looked hot and fresh, not very many people seated. The Lo Mein is the best I've tasted from a buffet(or take out really), the coconut shrimp was so perfectly creamy and sweet, all of the sushi was rolled right and had a great taste, the sautéed mushrooms was a bit under seasoned/cooked, spring roll was great and crunchy, mei fun is one of my favorites and it was nailed perfectly! Egg drop soup was super hot and was great texture! Tea came out boiling hot and steeping but the tea kettle could be upgraded. The high chairs could use an upgrade for the broken buckles and be cleaned better. The entrance is beautiful, maybe a red carpet over the bridge to hide the cracked tile repair job, overall I was VERY satisfied and will be back! Looking forward to reviewing them again! read more

Asia Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

I'm so surprised by the negative reviews seems like people just having a bad day or want to complain just to complain and would rate it low no matter the experience. I almost didn't go because of the reviews but I was out of town for work and it was Christmas and this was basically the only place open . It was probably the best buffet I ever went to. Cleaner than any buffet, so many choices and everything delicious with different flavors and kicks to it. Not just tasting meat you can tell they put in the effort and made each item separately and deliberately. Just the sushi section alone had more variety than restaurant that only serve sushi. I was very satisfied with my experience. 18 dollars well spent. I won't lie because that's unfair to the people who read reviews looking for what to expect so the only things I didn't like was the jello but maybe that's after sampling 7 other desserts it just paled in comparison and they did bring me my check before I was done, I hadn't even tried the desserts yet, but that may be because a lot of people were coming in and they needed the tables. I was only in Tennessee for work so I was alone. But overall food quality, taste and variety it was the best buffet I've ever eaten at. Took photos and videos and sent them to my girlfriend so next time she visits family in Memphis maybe we can detour and swing back around read more

This is the best Asian buffet in Chattanooga. Their prices are cheap and the food is always hot and fresh. Service is amazing too. They always make sure plates are cleared from the table and drinks are full. I recommend this restaurant to anyone that wants a deluctable meal on a small budget. I usually go for lunch and pay about $10 with drink. read more

Asia Buffet - The best Asian buffet ever! - Buffets Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

Craving some Asian food and stopped in. The food is good but the front end cashier and greeting was SO rude and not Friendly at all. Come on people. Get some people skills and your business will pick up read more

This restaurant has everything thing I could ever want( ECEPT FOR CASHEW CHICKEN). I feel like I'm in heaven usually here. Although, today I kept raising my hand and felt being ignored for several minutes..... as I was headed to an appointment that didn't allow tardiness. But , thankfully it got taken care of. So, as a restaurant as a whole.. I love the food!!!! read more

It was a 50/50 experience. The first couple trips to the buffet, the food was cold. The chicken was dried up past eating. The fish was cold. The lines to do social distancing, no one listened to. Everyone was standing in the walkway. The best part of this dinner was the ice water. I will not ever come back. read more

My family loves this place- they have a great variety and the sushi is the best for a buffet place around here. I'm giving it 3 stars instead of 5 because there are a few things lacking: - they don't have tempura fried veggies like Forbidden City - also, the general atmosphere appears unhygienic. They did well on their recent health inspection, but I still can't help but feel it needs a good cleaning and ceiling tiles need to be replaced. I would give it a 4 for food, based on how much my family loves it, but I would always prefer another buffet for cleanliness reasons. Again, maybe it's just perception because they did get a good score! read more

dirty and the waiters had food on there uniforms. the ice cream scoopers were in water that was dirty and the ice cream box was not advertised to even be there and the supplies were sat out unsanitary. worst Asian buffet ever read more

This restaurant is the worst, especially during this time of pandemic. Customers are allowed to serve themselves with no mask on. No plastic gloves provided for customers to get their food. This place could use a total renovation, it's tired and It seems unsanitary. The food they're serving are recooked. The management don't seem to care. The people that come here must not know any better or have never been in any decent restaurant. I guess you get what you pay for. It's the worst $11.99 spent. Not much choice at 9pm on a Sunday. read more

A great cost-benefit for an Asian buffet. Numerous options and with a very reasonable value. The dessert options are surprising. You will hardly find a place with as many for a price as theirs. For those looking for an Asian meal and a popular environment, this is a good place to go. read more

The place is pretty run down but the food is good. I don't eat anywhere without consulting Yelp first and the reviews here aren't super solid. As a big time foodie, I recommend this place. I went Sunday which means dinner menu all day. The price is very right and you'll enjoy the food. The guy on the hibachi grill wasn't friendly at all but he did the food exactly how I requested he do it so I appreciate that vs. my trip to a similar establishment in the area recently where he kept adding oil when I said not to. Definitely give this place a go! read more

Loved it! They had tofu! I've never seen tofu at a Chinese buffet before and it was excellent! Everything was great (mushrooms, fried rice, shrimp,..) They also had a huge selection of fruit and there were a lot of tables of food to choose from. Service was great and the atmosphere was nice as well. One of the best buffets I've been to. read more

Ordered delivery from here, received it before I expected to and it was hot and delicious. I got the teriyaki chicken (super juicy) and the egg foo young. Both meals were huge and a great price. If I'm ever in Chattanooga again I'll order from here! read more

Overall, an above average, very decent Chinese buffet that's popular with the business/retired crowd. Lunch buffet is $7.05 w/ tax. While the restaurant itself is pretty tired looking, I think most will be impressed with the large selection of items to choose from--four or five buffet tables plus a hibachi and sushi bar. The center tables had all your classic Chinese-American dishes that were honestly pretty average. All the breaded and fried items (sesame chicken, general tso chicken, etc) were either dry and chewy or mushy. Not very fresh. A few standouts were the fried dumplings (who doesn't love that soy, ginger and scallion sauce), the surprising variety of steamed dumplings, pepper shrimp, and the Bankok chicken which is over by the hibachi items next to some of the driest most pathetic looking "steaks" I've ever seen. A handful of soups and seafood items are included too. There's one table of American fair including powdered mashed potatoes, huge links of "Italian" sausage, a dried out honey ham sitting in a inch of water, mysterious looking fish fingers, a frozen pepperoni pizza and soggy oven fries--I didn't get near any of it. So what, you ask, makes this place stand out? The hibachi and sushi bars make it a great value--especially for lunch. Most of the locals will be loading up on fried rice and egg rolls which leaves both wide open even with a crowd. Lots of rolls to choose from--a rainbow roll on a lunch buffet? Don't see that very often! Avoid the ones with cream cheese--just filler. Fix a plate of raw meat and veggies and hand it to the hibachi cook along with the sauce you'd like and you'll get about as fresh a plate of food you can get at a buffet. Finish with a plate of fruit and you'll easily get your money's worth! read more

Pros: Tons of selection (Including Mongolian Style Barbecue); Low price for lunch buffet ($6 and change-don't know about dinner) you can get in and out in a hurry if you are on a quick lunch break, friendly service, really good Chinese food- considering ... Cons: Not what you will get in China...or even Chinatown USA... We wanted to try something new for lunch and had no time. I saw the storefront and thought "ugh! Another Chinese style buffet in the Deep South...tasteless, greasy food...with no imagination or authenticity" But what we got was a FEAST! I am from the DC area..so I am not saying this is like extremely high quality Chinese food, but it is certainly better than most of the Chinese food I have had in the Chattanooga area and I am certainly a fan. Huge selection! Multiple tables so you are bound to find something you like... Seafood (seemingly fresh), Mongolian Barbecue, whole dessert section, a lot of the old favorite (Americanized) Chinese dishes (teriyaki, sweet and sour, kung pao etc etc). I really enjoy the Bangkok Chicken- cooked with Jalapenos; also like their dumplings-both fried and steamed. They have a table with traditional American dishes..this is disappointing to me but I guess they feel they have to please everyone. $12.00-$15.00 total lunch bill for me and the GF. She is a vegetarian and hard to please..but she is happy with their veggie selection (not just onions and peppers) and they have tofu dishes. read more
