Found a bug in noodles, they did nothing about it. Cold food and bad quality! Went downhill.

Big selection and fair prices. Like the to go option for the buffet. Pay by the weight and get to try as many options as you want.

Always love this place! The food is always nice with a lot of options to choose from. The service is always good as-well!

$17.25 for one person - unacceptable pot stickers, egg rolls, green beans were cold. Food they brought out was hot but rest of items were about room temperature. read more

For what you're paying for and the speed at which you get your food, not at all a bad choice for Asian food in Mt. Vernon. The buffet doesn't have a phenomenal selection and the sushi can be questionable. Every item is either chicken or rarely seafood and pork but what they have is done reasonably well. About as well as you would expect for a buffet tucked away in the corner of a strip mall. The items can be between moderately soggy to super fresh. Depends on when you catch them out. Some odd things about this place is that they charge first and then you're allowed inside. read more

See all

Most of the food was old and not fresh. Food was hard and dried out from sitting under the heat lamps. The waitress cleared our plates and re filled our drinks quickly and often she was great. Personally I won't be back. read more

Food is always good and fresh every time we are there. Service is good. The price for the buffet is a little high. I suppose for an all you can eat buffet that covers those who take advantage. read more

Food was great. Very flavorful. Good cost for a buffet. I enjoyed everything I loaded onto my plate. After 3 plates I had to call it done. Definitely worth the stop. read more

Very good value. Food was well prepared and tasty. The hot sour soup, dumpling soup, and potstickers were all better than expected.

Had a taste for Chinese food so we decided to try the Asian Buffet. I don't think there was anything that impressed me, not the dining room, not the staff, and certainly not the food. I tried several things from the buffet but I couldn't really distinguish between any of the various types of breaded meats. Everything tasted pretty much the same. When we wanted more hot tea (which was the best part of the meal) we had to locate a worker who was busy sweeping the floor. All in all, the food was mediocre and service worse. However, I will say that the dining room appeared to be pretty clean, even if the seats were worn out and should have been replaced long ago. read more

The food on the buffet was old and the noodles had hard pieces in them. The waitress was super good though at making sure our drinks were full which is a huge plus. With everything being so expensive, eating out shouldn't be something you regret. We definitely won't be returning. read more

No impression, not too much to chose ... just 3 sections (( very disappointed Do not come if you looking for buffet , they charge first, take a look first read more

It is a decent buffet. It is clean and a good meal. For the price if you are traveling or want s meal before or after the movies its a good deal read more

We eat there on a regular basis are always happy with the table service ,choices and quality of the food. The serving staff is friendly and knowledgeable. We ordered out for the first time and had it delivered to our hotel. They got the Oder wrong took over an hour even tho the restaurant was 3 blocks away.The food was mismatch of over cooked and dry or undercooked. The egg rolls were doughy in the center. The saving grace was the Crab Rangoons. We will continue to go to the restaurant as inside customers but will never Ofer take out again. read more

BF a couple of years ago experienced exactly the same thing we did today - a Sunday... We went in about 4:15 or so... after the Sunday after-services surge, but before the evening Sunday-dinner-with-family surge. Much of the fare appeared to be left-overs from lunch... they may tout making things fresh everyday, but letting it sit over from lunch into the dinner meal crowd is NOT the way to make loyal fans. I tried the sweet and sour pork... soggy and lukewarm... not crispy or hot. I tried the General Tso chicken... likewise, soggy and lukewarm... not crispy and hot as expected. The fried shrimp was crunchy and lukewarm - bordering on tough and cold. The ingredients in the hot and sour soup tasted bland and also lukewarm... as though the soup had been sitting overnight - it may be made fresh daily, but they have a touch for making it taste older than its real age... (wink) Maybe that's an ancient Chinese secret... We looked at the sushi bar... nothing at the bar looked anything like the pictures of sushi plastered all over the front windows... not a single item. They present an excellent venue for a grand dining experience... but there are a few many of us who look past the flash and concentrate on the substance... Asian Buffet failed us miserably today... (sigh) YOURmileage may vary. * * * "Born on Valley Isle, Home now, North Carolina; Aloha y'all..." * * * Until that time. . . Earl J. read more

Normally this would be solid 4 star quality of food which in my my opinion it still is and also clean. The only reason I'm giving it 2 is the girl who is taking the place of the regular young lady that works the front when I asked for horseradish automatically said no they don't have it without even looking and her tone was not the nicest sorry to say. Definitely a nice place to come but if you want horseradish ready for your cocktail sauce come when the other young lady is back from vacation. If I had this type of service my first or second time I probably would not be back but I do recommend giving it a try. read more

Two stars only because the fries and ice cream were good. The food was very underwhelming and lacked any authentic flavor. Actually, it didn't have any flavor at all. There was virtually no service as our drinks were never refilled and plates were not cleared until we left. All of the sushi was just some imitation crab mixture and cucumber, not much of a variety. It was $70 (not including drinks) for 4 children and 3 adults. We will not ever return. read more

We ordered chow mein, because every where else we go chow mein is noodles, we get this weird soup thing with rice . We go there and they told us that, that is chow mein . They told us we were wrong to think that and that " they did nothing wrong" . They were very rude about the situation. Will not be going back there and don't recomend it for anyone else. read more

Same experience as BF and Earl. This place used to be awesome! not what it used to be, Service has gone downhill. Save yourself the hassle and go to Ali's read more

This place is awesome! My mom and I were on a road trip from Alabama to Colorado, and found ourselves starving in Mt. Vernon after a huge jam on the I-65. I found Asian Buffet on Google, and I'm so glad I did! Lisa (the owner) is very kind; my mom is vegetarian, and because there wasn't very much vegetarian food on the buffet, Lisa asked the chef to make vegetable lo mein and eggrolls especially for my mom! We ate so much we didn't need to stop again for dinner, and the price ($14 for both of us) was amazing. The food was all fresh and delicious, and there must have been at least 30 dishes to choose from, including sushi rolls. I couldn't stop eating the donuts. Do yourself a favor, skip the chain restaurants, and go to Asian Buffet! read more

Terrible service, very unprofessional. Made a review on Facebook about their plastic cups melting and dumping all over everything in the bag and they replied attempting to be sarcastic jerks. Don't eat here read more

Asian Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Mount Vernon, Illinois

The workers are very friendly and the prices are adequate. The food is exceptional. If you want a good dining experience then this place is highly recommended read more

8 year old kid working counter. Egg rolls and crab ragoon not made fresh, they come in frozen. Pay before you eat? It's like they don't even trust their own food quality. General tso watered down. No hospitality. Do not recommend. The fact that this restaurant got 4 stars worries me about the quality of the people living I the area. Not authentic. Sushi at the Kroger next door is better quality. read more

The food tasted like wet paper, and as an eatery that's pretty important. I hope this is because of what I got ( sushi, veggie roll, and spicy chicken ). The venue is quite nice that's for certain, service was good, and for what it is worth I was told that the noodles were good read more

Shockingly bad service. We ordered a large amount of food for a group of four to be delivered to our hotel just down the street. The woman on the phone told us it would be 45 minutes. However it was closer to 1.5 hours before our food arrived. When it got here, it was only half the order! We called back immediately and explained what we were missing. We were told it would be only 10 minutes. It ended up being over half an hour before the rest of our order arrived. I tried to cancel and request a partial refund for the part of the order we were missing and the woman on the phone refused. She kept offering all sorts of free food, but we didn't want any more food. We just wanted a refund for the part of order we were missing. She refused and actually hung up on me. Terrible, unprofessional service. I am so disappointed. read more

Just like any Asian buffet food wise. I wish there was actual fried rice the fried rice is yellow... Not authentic Chinese food... The classics are awesome like crab Rangoon, pot stickers, and spring rolls but they changed my favorite sushi!! The fried sushi used to have a crunchy tempura in it or something now they put cheap crab mixture in every sushi option... Not impressed. where's the actual sashimi, and unagi? Honestly the sushi from Kroger is better. I am trying to compliment what I like about the place but it's a little hard. I just went there to get dinner with my fiancé. We usually get to go boxes on week nights hit the buffet and eat at home...the customer service here is atrocious.. these woman ignore you when you walk in while talking on the phone no greeting, nothing. Was on the phone the entire time we paid for our food and didn't even ask if I wanted sauces, no cutlery, and no napkins. TRULY RUDE read more

I have been here once, and would like to come back again. I would recommend the baked crab legs, the buttered shrimp, and the crab rangoons.

I stopped here on a Google whim while passing through. The food is great! Everything was fresh and hot. The service was pleasant, they refilled our drinks often but they weren't annoying about it. Also they kept our plates picked up, I feel like that is sometimes a problem at buffet restaurants. All in all it was a great experience! Highly recommend giving it a chance! read more

Food was same as when it was China Buffet in the mall. Not very clean. The best of award from the news paper means nothing. The staff can vote as many times as they want to get the award read more

I liked the Phoenix chicken. The hot and sour soup is definitely hot spicy. You pay when you enter the restaurant. I prefer this for a buffet because you can get out quickly. read more

It was good overall. Was missing a few staple items but they had a few different choice not offered at some similar places. Would go here again, not on a regular basis but would go here again. read more

Not good. Food trays empty. What food there was was cold and old. Not much of a selection . $38 for three people. Definitely not going back.

I've been eating here for about a year now, we usually go during the day, never really at night. We decided to go tonight, drive over 40 minutes to eat here. Ive never once had a bad experience here, except for tonight. The food was all old, barely finished a full plate. I dropped my fork, went to get another one from the bar, I grabbed 4 dirty forks. Not just a little food spot on them, all of them were covered in food and pudding. I only seen the waitress one time, she never talked to us, other than to tell us "bye" when we left. Another girl was talking on her Bluetooth the entire time we were there. My girlfriend went to get food, she cut her off, stood in her way while she was trying to reach for food, and was laughing on the Bluetooth. She had to excuse herself 3 times before the girl realized she was saying anything. We will come back, just never again passed 3pm. Horrible experience. read more
