    I saw this place while driving around the Matthews vicinity. The parking lot was not crowded and there was probably a good reason. It wasn't the food quality. The variety and amount is very good at this Asian buffet but the surprise is that lunch will cost you 30 dollars per person. I am not a lobster or crab person so I really don't go after the higher price items. I was impressed with the cleaniness especially the bathrooms. The ice cream is served individual containers and it's Hershey's brand and not a generic label. The hibachi has a noodle soup area that offers 5 varieties and that is unique. Overall, I probably wouldn't come every week but once in a while, it would be worth the visit.

    Pleasantly surprised at the seafood selection on Saturdays and Sundays. Not only did they have a make your own stir fry, but also had ramen and noodle soup choices!

    Ambiance was fine and the service was good. The best thing I like is cleanliness. The food selection was nice too. I minus one star because the rice on sushi wasn't fresh as once you put on your mouth. I almost choke because it wasn't soft but then quickly I drank water. You guys need to check your rice before you prepare sushi. Overall it was ok! For quick lunch I would recommend this place.

    Not the best ,not a lot of choice when it comes to buffet part of it but the grill and soups makes up the difference service was good my cup was. Not empty at all and they kept my table cleared from dirty dashes the koi fish pond give it a great ambiance I would come again if I was around the neighborhood again

    The food was really good and abundant, many many variety of foods. The service was pretty good and the ambiance was great! We really enjoyed ourselves at the restaurant.

    Two stars but would be better if they at least tried to enforce mask mandates. Yes, when the church crowd comes in at 12:30 and NONE of them are wearing their masks properly, it's time for me to go. Not wearing them at the host stand, no wearing them while they rearrange tables (party of 16, yeah, that's not social distancing.) and not wearing them as they fill their plates. I wrapped up immediately and departed. Other patrons were wearing masks properly and of course, the staff was wearing theirs. I really liked the disposable gloves that were set out on the buffet stations so that tongs could be reused safely. That was great. As for the food. the sushi station was great. Some nigiri and maki rolls and a few deep fried maki (this is the South, of course) and it was all fresh. Hibachi station was doing good business and there is a soup station as well. One steam table was dedicated to the fried octopus and fried crabs and other more ethnic Chinese food. Others had the usual Americanized chicken and seafood was various sauces. Also fresh and definitely clean while being restocked. Nothing too spicy and nothing too innovative, but decent. Service was good and the tables were reasonably separated (other than the above). If they'd follow the rules (or at least encourage customers to do so), this would be three stars. [Review 14470 overall, 1796 of 2020, number 2731 in North Carolina.]

    Asian Buffet and Grill I wanted to like you, I wanted you to be the best buffet the Charlotte area had to offer but there were some things that hurt this possibility. Now my parents have some weird obsession with Chinese buffers. I'm not sure if it's the love of Americanized Chinese food or the ability to eat whatever you want and as much as you want. Me however I'm not a fan of Chinese buffets. I really got my hopes up when I saw all the different options Asian Buffet and Grill had to offer. There is sushi, hibachi, a soup station and several different hot and cold food buffet options. I was most excited for the soup station. Not to many Chinese buffets have these stations and they are my favorite. The station had 6 different soups you could choose from and 4 different noodle options. I chose the curry with the rice vermicelli. The broth was not very flavorful at all. It had a very faint curry taste. My nephew got the Vietnamese pho soup. This broth seemed to have a little more flavor but was still very bland. My hibachi dinner was good. I appreciated all of the options they had for this station and the speed of the cook. He was on it! My other hot food was good from the buffet. I also liked how they had a very varied set of dishes for you to choose from. And there wasn't pizza and Mac-a-roni like some other buffets. Someone explain how those got in the mix? When we arrived the place was very empty but as we finished they were running a wait. They staff was kinda half busing the tables in the beginning of our meal and towards the end they were more on top of it because of their wait. All in all I think this Chinese buffet is a better option in the charlotte area. I just need them to give those broths some more flavor!

    I drove by with no cars outside. Are they CLOSED?

    Sometimes they close on Monday for heavy cleaning

    When I drove by last night, it looked like they were changing the name on the sign from Tropicana to Asian. Can anyone confirm? It didn't change ownership / management or anything, did it?

    In today's Clipper mailer, they have a full-page ad as "Asian Buffet & Grill" and listing as "Now Open". Looks like they changed their lunch price, too...$5.99 Mon-Fri 11am-4pm. $9.99 dinner Mon-Fri and all day Sat/Sun.

    Prices for lunch and dinner?

    $8.99 and $12.99 Worth every penny

They serve lunch and dinner, too--and that dinner menu was talking to me! When I try a restaurant for the first time, I usually start with something simple. It is a little like dating the restaurant: before I commit to the whole menu, let me see how you handle the basics. If you can make simple food well, then I begin to trust you. I relax. I get curious. Then, before you know it, I'm falling in love and planning our next date! Fresh Chef made a very good first impression. The eggs were fluffy and cooked to perfection. The sourdough toast was toasted just right, with a beautifully balanced flavor that didn't overpower the rest of the plate. But those breakfast potatoes? Baby, they were the star! Crispy and golden on the outside, tender enough to melt in your mouth on the inside. I added onions and bell peppers, and next time I'll ask for extra because they belonged together. Let those onions and peppers come on out and join the party! The bacon was a good-quality cut--not thin, cheap, or pretending to be pork. As a genuine pork lover, I appreciate that. The coffee was good, too. My waiter was exceptional. I didn't catch the young man's name, but he made sure I had everything I needed while still giving me room to enjoy my breakfast. He was warm, attentive, and perfectly timed without hovering. That kind of service deserves to be recognized. Then I noticed the manager wearing a shirt from my favorite team. Well, that certainly didn't hurt the courtship! Roll Tide! Fresh Chef and I have had our first date, and I must say--it went very well. Now I need to return for dinner and see whether this little breakfast flirtation turns into a full-blown love affair. With a menu featuring steaks, seafood, pasta, ribs, shrimp and grits, and more, I am hopeful that this relationship has a future! Auntie D's rating: Five out of five forks!
