Came here for lunch with my fiance and wanted to try this place out Food here is amazing they have crawfish, mussel, squid, octopus, oyster, crabs legs, etc...everything was hot and very good. Service here was ok Wasnt all that great, waiter and waitress just walking around and I guess just wait till u finish and clear your table. You would have to ask for refill on your drink and ask extra napkins and etc.. ambience here is like any other buffet it looks alittle newer and it gets very busy after 2:00pm on a Sunday. Gave them 4 because everything was good except for service, it can be better and worked on. This place they seated you in and you pay after you eat. Like most places. read more

We decided to try Asia 1 Buffet for dinner for the first time tonight, and unfortunately it was a very disappointing experience. We arrived around 7:30 p.m., and the restaurant doesn't close until 9:30 p.m. Not even 20 minutes after we sat down, while there were still plenty of customers coming in and the restaurant was nearly full, the staff had already started removing food trays and weren't replacing them. It felt like they were shutting the buffet down long before closing time. To make matters worse, employees were mopping the floors around our feet while we were still eating, leaving the floors extremely slippery and making us feel rushed. The BBQ/sushi area closed at 8:30 p.m., and there were only three plates of dried-out sushi left. We never even got the chance to try the BBQ station they advertise. The desserts were dry and unappetizing, and overall the food was bland and lacked flavor. We spent $112 for dinner, plus a $20 tip because our server was attentive, friendly, and deserved it. The service from him was the only positive part of our visit. For the price, this experience was not worth it. I do not recommend this restaurant and will not be returning. read more

First time at Asian Buffett on request of friend who loves seafood . There were stations & stations of many food choices even had pizza! The restaurant very large ,clean ,bright , newer modern looking with colorful tile & Asian murals . Although a little early for me , filled my first plate with salmon , crab , shrimp , escargot , even tried a frog leg ( "tastes like chicken" jk) . Big fresh sushi bar , several soups tried hot & sour, & many veggie's too. Back for fruit & a few deserts . So much food , so many choices ; however I must say I felt satisfied that it was light , mostly healthy & a good value for 22$ ( 18$ m-th kids much les$ ) with all that seafood . The Buffett completely staff with people continually offering help picking up plates & friendly banter . river rd w of stone s side read more

Asian 1 Buffet - Seafood Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I hadn't been to Asian 1 for awhile and was in them area, so I popped in for lunch. They give a small discount for seniors, so that always helps. The food choices are plentiful, some I like, others I didn't but certainly plenty to choose from. I always get a stir fry that I mix and they cook it. Yummy. Service is okay. Sometimes it takes awhile to get drink refills. They are always cleaning up, sometimes close to where one is eating which can be annoying, but rather have it clean than dirty. The dining room itself is large, booths and tables are comfortable. The food is constantly being replaced which is a good thing. Now, I love sugar with the best but their desserts leave much to be desired. I just get a few bites of fruit, but the cakes and other offerings are unexciting and not worth the calories. Overall, for a buffet, it's better than most. read more

Had lunch at Asian 1 Buffet on River. Their weekend buffet has a good selection, including sushi and Mongolian BBQ. I'd say the quality is good to very good. Service is attentive, clearing plates, filling drinks, etc. The buffet lines are kept freshly stocked and very clean. The Mongolian BBQ guy has his own separate tip jar, but the plate I got was very good. You have to ask for the Senior discount (10%). The place can get a bit noisy and crowded during busy times. It's a good place to stop on the way to Sam's Club. read more

As always, food was great. Admittedly I went for the oysters, I'm an East Coaster that just moved back to Arizona from Maine last year and I love oysters. After taking down 3 dozen and some crab legs I tapped out. Great Oysters at an extremely clean buffet is unheard of. Service was great, table was always cleaned and drinks refilled quickly. We visit every time we go to Tucson. read more

I've been to Asian One Buffet twice now, and both visits have been very positive experiences. Honestly, I'm just happy to finally have a decent Asian buffet option in Tucson--after living here all my life, I've seen so many Chinese buffets come and go. Some of the dishes really surprised me with how good they were. The braised pig trotters were a unique find, and while I can't eat too much of it, it's something you rarely see in Tucson. My personal favorites so far are the salt and pepper prawns, and the Cajun-style seafood boil with mussels, shrimp, crawfish, and corn. The sushi was also a highlight--fresh tasting and better than I expected for a buffet. The restaurant itself was very clean, and for me, it's a great place to go when I'm craving a wide range of Asian dishes, from comforting classics to items you don't usually find at other buffets. I'm giving this place five stars based on the value for the price and what's available here in Tucson. I wouldn't rate it the same way against the huge buffets in Las Vegas, but judged on its own and for our city, Asian One truly deserves it. read more

We love a good buffet. My husband had seen this place advertised and we decided to give it a try for their lunch buffet. We were impressed with the variety and amount of food available for a lunch buffet. Several islands of food, plus bbq and sushi stations. They had a good variety of foods to choose from. Some fried, some not fried, several appetizer type items, salads, desserts, some with rice or lo mein, some soups. It all seemed to be fresh and either hot or cold, depending on the item. We had a server who refilled our waters throughout and removed our used plates. There was plenty of seating and the restaurant was light and cheery. We enjoyed our dining experience. The cost was definitely reasonable as well. read more

Service was horrible, plates stacked up on our table, never offered refills on drinks. Had to get up and hunt he down AND IT WAS NOT CROWDED . Server at the end said she wanted a bigger TIP. TOOK THE BILL BACK AND ADDED AN EXTRA $4.00 service fee ! I then asked she said we left 3 pieces of meat we didn't eat ( it was chewed grissle from the meat we couldn't eat ) Will never go back to that greedy rude place again. Food is just average not like seen on TV. read more

This space was once a Chinese buffet but that disappeared some years ago along with -19. So happy to see it back as a Chinese buffet again. They have cleaned and brightened up the interior with multiple serving stations and plenty of food. Other reviewers have pics of all the options. Wifey was pretty happy with it. Sure, there were hits and misses but I think overall it's a hit. We were happy. I really like the chicken wings and was glad to get some shortly after they opened while they were fresh. After folks had worked down the pile there were only 3 drumletts left and dried out and it didn't get refreshed! I had some of the steamed catfish which was pretty good . I found some tartar sauce for it over by the salads. Fried zucchini was good as was the egg fu young. Hot and sour soup was descent. I got the Mongolian bbq with the lo mein sauce but I won't do that one again. Lunch didn't have all the big seafood, which was fine, but I would have liked a little salmon sushi instead of all the big California rolls they were making. Desserts were a little light but I did like the apple turnover I had which was fresh and not super sweet. The ice cream is packaged in single servings so you can just pick your flavor . Reasonably priced lunch plus we get the 10% senior discount. read more

Oh dear gawd where to begin. This was one of the worst Chinese buffets I have ever experienced. The place is very clean, but it's also very new, service was fine, and the selection was plentiful. There is also a Mongolian BBQ and sushi station. We were there on a Sunday morning right at opening, and were seated quickly, and brought our drinks. That's where the good ended, the food is where the bad began. Everything I tried was just so salty, and I mean salty. My blood pressure rose with each bite. Several of the chicken dishes were already dry, and like I said it was right as they opened. I cannot recommend this restaurant, as nice as the place was and as friendly as the employees were, the food is just not good. read more

Asian 1 Buffet - My plate of salt! - Seafood Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

This is a Chinese buffet somewhat on steroids. I say this because it has Everything! Every thing! From Lo Mein and orange chicken to Mongolian BBQ to sushi. I'm not sure you'd want something they don't have. There's pizza, fish, buns name it. The place is pretty huge so no waiting. At least not today. We went for lunch. And while it was busy there wasn't a wait. We were seated quickly. The place looks very clean. The staff is attentive. Our glasses were always full and used plates went away quickly. Fresh food constantly being put out. It all Looked appetizing. Mind you I don't normally even like buffets, generally speaking. I tried several dishes and they were all tasty. Certainly filled that want. If you still have room or have a sweet tooth. They have cookies, cake, pudding, jello, ice cream in cups. No soft serve. As stated earlier. If you want if they probably have it. Pepsi products, lemonade for drinks an additional charge not included in buffet price. But that's ok. I don't go to buffets of any kind often. But this one I would consider coming back to. They are doing it right. Reasonably priced. They have Children's prices and a senior discount. Only open since March I hope it's around for a long time. read more

Have you seen the new Asian buffet on river road? As far as buffets go... it is very fresh and clean with rows and rows of variety to please everyone. The staff kept the foods fresh and hot, including a sushi station. I wasn't impressed by the deserts, but that's just me. The prices are fair and the quality is what you would expect. Not quite five stars but still pretty decent. read more

I was attracted by the price and the variety. The biggest drawback on the weekend buffet, is the quality of the snow crab legs. i have visited 3 different times over the course of 1 year. Each time, the crab legs were extremely dry and hard to separate from its shell. The service was great each visit. read more

I'm just going ahead and doing this right now!!! Writing my review in the restaurant. I'm going with it. Regardless of whether I like it or not, there is a lot of variety and they are constantly putting out new food so it doesn't sit. They have chicken feet and sushi, the sushi is ok and I never eat chicken feet. There are a ton of Asians eating here which is always a good sign. I loved my stir fry and the peel and eat shrimp. The staff is courteous and quick to take your empty plate. So in my humble opinion it's about as good as it gets for an Asian buffet. I will be back because it's clean quick and easy. I've spent a lot of time all over Asia and this place is good. read more

Wow I was super impressed on how open and clean this restaurant was. The decorations are beautiful and CLEAN. The waiter and waitress are attentive. The food was fresh, hot and delicious. There is so much to choose from. The dessert is of course my favorite. They have a chocolate/coffee cake that's was mouthwatering. Great hours. Open late. And still amazing service. I do recommend if you are a senior citizen and want that discount tell them when you get seated. (no I am not a senior citizen) I do recommend this place. Did I mention they have sushi rolls as well. read more

For the price and the type of restaurant, it's exactly what you'd expect. For $14.99 at lunch and $18.99 at dinner, you get all you can eat Chinese food. Some of the hot food was okay, but mostly subpar. What really disappointed me was the seafood. It looked like it had been sitting for a while, but I had to try it out at least once. The sashimi was slimey, and the roll had a crust from sitting out so long. Afterwards, I did not feel too good. I would say the only things I enjoyed were the sausage, cheese rangoons, and the speedy service. read more

Asian 1 Buffet - Seafood Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

This girl loves a buffet. So many options with no commitment. Try something new and walk away if you're not liking it. We tried Asian 1 on Saturday around noon. The per person cost is $14 during lunch hours. Drinks are $3 per person. The food was prepared well, fresh and delicious. The only area that lacked, in my humble opinion, was the desserts. With costs skyrocketing, this restaurant provides a value that I don't see anymore. My favorite dish was the BBQ pork. The meat is pre cut into bite sizes making it easy to eat. My picky Manfolk even liked it. That's a biggie. Staff is fine and attentive even on a busy weekend day. Give them a try! read more

For a Chinese buffet this was really good. The sushi was fresh. They have frog legs, which I love. Their clams were seasoned and not gritty and full of sand. The only thing we ate that didn't taste great were the crab legs. The restaurant was clean. The wait staff was friendly. It is a little expensive. I would definitely eat it again, but would probably try to come during lunch. read more

A new Asian buffet in town, they just opened their doors last month and everything is still fresh looking. Their interiors are bright and clean looking. And they have a big dining area. There's a part that you can rent for any occasion or event because it is kinda separated and enclosed. Service needs some improvements. But food is good but not great. I can come back again. For the most part, this is the most decent Asian buffet in town, so far. read more

Great buffet. Clean organized and the price is reasonable. The ladies room was clean which was nice. The crab legs were kept stocked and the sushi was good. We did not try the hibachi. The dessert bar was adequate. I eat primarily vegetarian/pescatarian and there were plenty of options for me. read more

The food is honestly a hit or miss, some food is great delicious but others are either too sweet or too saucy or wayyy to salty. Most of the beef and fried foods are pretty good (kinda hard to mess it up). The place is really nice, spacious, nobody is over crowded looks pretty clean on the floor but the service that's something else. There were only two servers out of all the workers. I came with a HUGE group we were about 20 people. There was only one server taking care of the whole floor, we could only order drinks from the server I felt bad since there were other large groups. Overall out of 10 I'd give this place a 6.8 read more

We went during a Sunday night dinner rush. Wait was 30 mins so not too bad! Lots of options to choose from. The crab legs were the star of the show and the most sought out dish. They have ready to make bbq and sushi as well. With it being busy had to wait on clean plates at times. I'm not a huge fan of buffets but this one was overall ok. I would prob try coming during their lunch special if I were to come back read more

An excellent buffet choice of very good oriental food. They have a Sushi line if you like Sushi, I have never tried Sushi, maybe someday!!

I heard good things about this place and decided to give it a try. At first glance the place is very clean, open and looks inviting. The inside is way larger than I thought...they have a lot of seating available. Service is what you would expect at most buffet places. They do not check in with you and you have to flag someone down to get their attention. The largest disappointment for me, however, was the food. I don't know if we just came on a bad night but most of the items I had were bland or tasted a bit off. I tried their crab legs which were so tiny you could barely get any meat out of them. The crab rangoon filling tasted sour like the cream cheese was expired. The noodles they offered smelled good but again had no flavor. The dim sum filling also tasted weird to me. The sushi station had some decent options and the rolls I tried were not bad. The dessert station seemed to lack very many good options. All in all I was not impressed. But this is Tucson so I am not surprised. This is about as good as Asian food gets around here which is a bummer. I probably won't be back anytime soon. read more

Great food for a great price! Restaurant was very clean and food was fresh. At dinner hours they have more seafood options.

I'm not a fan of buffets but my friends wanted to try it. Sunday was a busy night. The restaurant was brightly lit and busy-that's a good sign. There was plenty of food including seafood. People had plates piled high of crab legs. They also had mussels, frog legs, hot and cold foods, and sushi. Service was good, they cleared our plates quickly. It's one of the better buffet restaurants I've tried. read more

By far the best Asian Buffet in Tucson. What struck me first upon walking in was the cleanliness of the restaurant and food lines. They offer items not seen at most other Asian Buffets. Their selection of sushi is good and you have the option of ordering fresh Mongolian Stir Fry. Their desert and salad bars are small but adequate. The service is far better than any other buffet I've been to. This is a can't miss place if you like a variety of Asian cuisine. read more
