Ordered take out and wasn't expecting much. Food was mediocre at best. Dumplings we're really small. The dipping sauce was excellent though. I was a fan of it when they had their store front in Tonawanda. Pork lo mein was good. Didn't care for their wonton soul. No flavor at all. Pork fried rice was decent. Sesame chicken was drowned in the sauce. Lost all the crispyness to the fry. Can't mess up the sweet donut. I would order again if it were too late to go out for pick up at my normal place. read more

Came here for lunch and got a quick reminder why I don't really like Chinese buffets. While there were a few items that were good (spring roll, "shrimp delight", mass produced desserts), most of the items were cold and overcooked. No sushi. There were signs posted all over, stating that you will be charged if you "waste food". I understand that they don't want food waste but it made the vibe even more tacky. The place was really quiet and the 5 tables of patrons were all sitting back to back so it's like we were all in each other's business. I posted a pic of the aquarium that shows neon green water and that aggravating sign about wasting food. read more

Beijing Buffet - What is going on with the water? And there's that sign! ‍ - Chinese Near Me - North Tonawanda, New York

This Chinese buffet is alright, which is why it gets 3/5. The food is not the sweeter side, like many restaurants which serve American-Chinese food. Nothing really stuck out and everything was very average to sweet. The prices are very appropriate though, read more

We went on a Thursday afternoon for lunch and won't be back. The buffet offers limited choices and at least half of those were dried out. The potstickers were so dry that they felt and sounded like hockey pucks. It was difficult to bite into them and they were very chewy. This is just one example of many things that just weren't palatable. Choose another place if looking for a Chinese buffet. read more

Beijing Buffet - Buffett and restaurant - Chinese Near Me - North Tonawanda, New York

Really good! The trays are kept almost empty -and that's good. This means the food is hot. All of it. No cold buffet food! I'll return!

It WAS a good place until they started charging you by weight for food left on your plate!

We've been going to Beijing Buffet for several years now. We've brought relatives from out of town here, who didn't realize we had good Oriental restaurants in the area. The chef at Beijing Buffet is creative & artistic, the staff are friendly, & the restaurant is clean. Husband loves the coconut shrimp & stuffed mushrooms more than anything. Looking forward to our next visit. read more

AMAZING!!!! tOP NOTCH customer service, we came in very late and the lady informed us the kicthen was closed, but we were still welcome to eat what they had left. We ate many plates of food and before we left they sent us home with to-go boxes of food so they didnt have to waste anything, as well as to go pops and ice cream cups to take home! She was also very friendly came to make conversation with us multiple times!!! Will be coming back often!!!! read more

I am froim NYC. I have eaten at chinese buffets since child hood not only where I lived but in Chinatown NYC in LA, IN San Fran and in the south( which I don't even give 1 star. I will say that this buffet is in the yop 10 or 15 that I have eaten at. I have tried several buffets in western New york ANd will say this one is the best. May not have as many options as some of them but the food is the closest to NYC Chinatown that I have experienced in WNY. Food is always Hot and available for most of the time except when they started switching from lunch to dinner. The hostess always stops at every table at least once and is pleasant all the time. read more

Excellent service. Good selection of food. Crab legs cycled well on busy days. Tasty food

I went a little past 2 o clock and although there wasn't as much options since they were getting ready to change for dinner the food was great. Will come again soon to try their seafood read more

Customer Service to the max with a friendly greeting and a smile these days! They don't waste food so they are very good about keeping it fresh and only make what they need and use your help to tell them what they're low on so just ask. Great variety of hot and cold food and they make their own version of hot apple pie which I think is pretty tasty and top it off with so many ice cream cup flavors you can't help but leave here full and satisfied. read more

Coworker showed me this place during lunch and I loved it, there was plenty to choose from! Their peanut chicken and crab ragu were my favorite choices. The staff was wonderful, clean spot as well! I'll definitely be back read more

We're regulars here and their food is always consistent. We've only had the buffet maybe once or twice, so basing the review more on take out ... Normally get chicken and brocolli, pork lo mein, and the smaller bbq spareribs. Good stuff. Taste fresh and not generic as some other local spots do it. The whole team there is nice once you get to know them. Entertainment to see the little bickering of the kids. read more

Nothing wrong with this place, everything you'd expect from a Chinese buffet. Some people have nothing better to do than complain about their menu options lmfao read more

If you've ever been to any Chinese Buffet you know you're rolling the dice in regards to a good experience. Sometimes every single thing about your trip meets or exceeds your expectations, while other times things fall flat. Today I had a bit of a middle road experience, but noticed some new things that help add to the experience. First impressions/ service: when you first enter you're greeted by an employee at the front desk - if you meet the young lady who seems to be there all the time, you're in luck. I'm afraid I don't know her name, but she is exceptionally friendly and is great at remembering customers (once I left a pair of gloves behind and she brought them to my table when I came back months later. Very impressive). The dining area is also relaxing for a casual environment, with Chinese style decorations hanging from the walls and high ceilings. The front wall of the restaurant is almost entirely windows, so there is a lot of natural light coming in to make everything look bright and appealing. The staff keeps the tables clean and takes notice of when your plates or cups are empty. They also wipe down the counters near the food trays pretty frequently. The men's bathroom wasn't really spectacular - single occupancy and not all that clean. The Food: it's hard to judge the food at a buffet if you ask me. On one hand, if you know what you're getting into and craving specifically that, then everything works out. On the other, of you expect to find more than one or two items to write home about then you'll likely be out of luck. For me, I enjoy the food. Across the 6 Buffet tables here you'll find 4 that have main lunch/dinner dishes, one with desserts and some salad ingredients, and one with sushi and some other cold options. Some staples like fried rice, lo mein and sweet and sour chicken are easy to pass on here, but some of the more unique dishes are worth trying (i'm looking at you Salt and Pepper chicken). They recently started preparing hot crab legs (in the past they'd be chilled in ice) and moved some of their pastries from the dessert counter to a shelf above their ice cream bin. One dish I specifically like is the Crab Rangoon that is served in little bite sized pastry pockets instead of the standard triangle shape. The bottom line is, this restaurant will help cure any cravings you might have so long as you know what you like from here. If you know you like 5 things and eat those you'll have a great time. If you're trying a little bit of everything then you likely won't be blown away. However you approach it, I think it's worth a try either way. You might just be surprised with what you find. read more

Food was good, some of the hot food was cold, ham salad on potato skin ? Well maybe ? Hot and sour soup was hot and tasty. Sushi was average, heavy on the rice in the rolls. Crab Rangoon was nice. Mac and cheese ? Watery. General chu chicken was sweet and mild ( need spice ) overall place was clean and had a nice lunch. Chinese food ? Well maybe. read more

Ok, this is the typical American Chinese buffet you'd find in most urban and suburban, as well as touristy cities such as Glendale, Orlando or Falls Church. So, having said this, I am basing my rating and review as compared to similar American-Chinese buffet joints. As such, I thought this place was very nice--clean, bright, friendly wait staff, and as expected--American-Chinese food (not real Chinese, mind you!). For what you pay, I thought the selection was quite generous, tasty and palatable, and expected for a place like this. SO.... if you are expecting a Peking Gourmet or a PF Chang's, this is not the place for you (I thought the other reviews were a little too ridiculous in their expectations!). BUT... if you're expecting the typical cheap, American-Chinese buffet place that serves the food that you;d expect (Gen Tso's, chicken coconut, salmon slathered in mayo, mushroom buttons with stuffing, chicken skewers, beef with broccoli, etc. y'know, the usual!), then this is the place for you! For what it is, I thought it was a great value. (ps Come early and you know the food is fresh!). read more

Beijing Buffet - Six heated stations full of food! - Chinese Near Me - North Tonawanda, New York

Nice decor, clean tables and attentive staff. Great variety, food could be rotated a bit more to ensure heat in dishes that needed to be kept hot. Our drinks were not filled with any type of frequency. So, four stars. Good food. Crab Rangoons were off the hook. Finished up with a beautifully cooked sugar donut. Oh and they should add more variety for the sushi. If you can afford to serve crab legs you can get some fish for sushi too, not just the crab sticks. read more

Beijing Buffet - Chinese Near Me - North Tonawanda, New York

I have been here a few times and this last time did it for me. The staff is rude, the food is over salted and sometimes cold-when it shouldn't be. They don't refill the crab legs (yes, I'm that person). I had a coupon for 10% off with the purchase of a beverage. We all had water and tea. They would not honor my coupon and were rude when I asked why. Their prices are outrageous for the quality of the food and the service. I hate to only bitch, so I will say, the seating area and bathroom were clean. Will not return. There are other buffets. read more

As far as Chinese Buffets go, this is our probably favorite in the area. It's in the Budwey's Plaza in NT, kind of off the beaten path, so it's never been that busy when we've been there. The food is pretty standard for a china buffet, a decent variety. One time I tried to get a bite of ever kind of chicken on my plate, and I think it was around a dozen different options. It's buffet food, so it's never quite hot enough, and sometimes if it's been out for a while it's some level of dried out, again, typical of just about any buffet. But still good flavors to stuff yourself with on occasion. I like the hot apple pie turnover that's a staple there, too. We think it's the owner who is regularly working the buffet and checking on tables, and she is always super friendly and attentive. Dinner prices are high, but comparable to other buffets. Lunch buffet is your best deal, of course. And watch for coupons in The Clipper. read more

Beijing Buffet - Sadly the breakfast buffet we hoped to go to was done serving breakfast, even though we called & were told otherwise. Ended up here instead. - Chinese Near Me - North Tonawanda, New York

Pros: very attentive staff. Quick to clear plates and refill drinks. Lots of food options Cons: the quality of food both in taste and freshness has room for improvement. Paid $14 for buffet, drink not included. I expected better quality read more

Haven't been here since they opened but I went last night and I was not disappointed. Really good food and decent prices for the takeout buffet. Staff was very friendly read more

Yeah we went to this place a couple of times were not going back anymore the food is questionable as far as temperature and how long it's been set out I think it's a good place to get sick read more

No and no. We went to this place when they opened a year or so ago, it was great, lots of seafood and very attentive staff. Went yesterday with my parents, and it has obviously changed hands, different outfits, only one person clearing, offering refills. We weant at 2 pm, but were charged Sunday / Holiday price, 12.95, ' My biggest objection is the temperature of the food. They offered a bunch of seafood options, which is great, BUT, there is no way they are being offered hot enough to be safe. Cold seafood delight, cold battered shrimp, etc. THEN I got home and metioned this to my ex, she says, yeah, my Mom got sick there, we aren't going there any more. It's not worth it, I reccomend you do not visit. read more

So my girlfriend and I walked in and we were instantly sat and told we could go right up to the buffet. We were excited because finally a Chinese buffet opened in North Tonawanda! However that excitement quickly dissipated when the food had very sweet tastes and honestly tasted nothing like any general tso, honey chicken, sweet and sour chicken, etc. we've ever tried anywhere else before. I rarely would complain about Chinese food because it's always hit or miss. But the food must've been sitting there all day. It was cold and unappetizing. Finally, we received the check and it was $30. I won't go back because the price I paid for the amount of awful food was upsetting. Usually buffets are $7.99-$12.99. $15 each? Seriously? No thanks. read more

It was difficult for us to find since we rarely travel west of Niagara Falls Blvd, but thankfully we got there after only one u-turn. The place doesn't look like much from the front of the plaza (it's attached to Budwey's market) but once inside, it is most definitely a Chinese buffet. The decor is slightly outdated, some seats could use reupholstering soon, however it doesn't mean a thing once you smell the aroma of what seems like 100 fragrant choices of glorious food items. Six buffet stations and an ice cream freezer await hungry guests with the typical rices, soups, chicken dishes, seafood and vegetables, along with American foods like ham, stuffed potatoes, mac-n-cheese, and onion rings. I decided to try a few new things. The honey chicken was my favorite "new" food and one that I will definitely go back for next time. You really have to watch your portions when you load your plate. There are so many foods to choose from that you have to get just a few bites of each so that you can ensure that you have enough room for it all! I was happy with how this restaurant presents its ice cream. Instead of having several large tubs open for guests to scoop out of, it is ready to go in single-serve sealed packages. Six flavors to choose from, just grab and go. No messy scoop, no mixed flavors from multiple scoopings. I like this concept! The service was fast, friendly, and attentive. We enjoyed ourselves. Our picky four-year-old even made a shiny plate (which means we definitely must come back!) read more

I came here yesterday for the first (and last) time with my boyfriend after a long day of canoeing. We were hungry. When we walked in I had high hopes. It was clean, well lit, and there were a lot of people there. I grabbed a plate and went to the first row of the buffet. All meat. Next row. All meat. Next row. Some sushi but none without meat. Next row...vegetable fried rice and vegetable lo mein. I resigned myself to a dinner of empty carbohydrates and made my way back to our table, with a quick stop at the "salad bar" (what a joke) for some cantaloupe. The rice was gross, the lo mein was decent, the cantaloupe was good and fresh. I went back up to look again, thinking, I must have missed the mixed vegetables and veggie spring rolls but nope, nada. I added a heaping spoonful of string beans in some sort of sauce and more lo mein to my plate. I sat back down only to immediately lose my appetite at the miniature octopus my boyfriend had brought back to the table to show me. What. The. Heck. I couldn't eat another bite. I chugged my water and thought of this review. Go here if you're not a vegetarian. My man enjoyed it. The service was friendly and helpful. The food was being refilled while we were there but the temperature of everything I ate was lukewarm to cold. read more

It looks like they have a lot of options but 1 section is dessert and salad, one is all seafood, another one is all american type food (pizza and wings) so really only 2 have actual Chinese foods. I have been to smaller Chinese restaurants with more options. Some of their foods were over cooked and they didn't refill the rice the whole time I was there. I went there to get Chinese food not other foods I can get at other places. Their general tso chicken was very dry and no sauce and the sesame chicken tasted just like it no difference. If I was in the mood for Chinese I would drive farther to get better variety and better tasting food. For the price I should have gotten better. Had to take the bill up because no one would come back to the table. read more

Went there the other day and sign on the door says closed until Sept????? Disappointed.

We visited this new place twice in the last few months. They certainly have plenty of variety, but almost everything kind of tastes the same. The quality of ingredients is just ok. We will probably not return. The crab legs were the best part, but they were all very thin. read more

They'll get two stars from me as they're not the worst I've ever had, and places that double as a buffet often seem to have slightly different takeout than the buffet quality, and I've never been here before. I got the General Tso, crab lo mein, and crab Rangoon. The Rangoon are small, which was fine, a bit overly sweet, and very saturated in grease - maybe the oil wasn't hot enough. The lo mein was very soggy, like it was way overcooked, which made the "crab" kind of slimy. The tso was not crispy or solid at all - mushy breading that leads to it congealing into one big pasty mass. Will consider trying the buffet once before changing rating read more

Another Buffet gone downhill! Watch out! I see this business has recently posted some new internet ads showing pictures of good food....but don't be fooled by the pictures. This buffet is an example of a business that was once decent and reasonable but has long since increased prices and quality of food at buffet got bad. Not much selection and they don't refill the buffet trays. They have no sushi because they "ran out of rice" to make it. They over-salted the squid rings on purpose to discourage customers from eating them. Charged us for another 75 cent tea because my companion took a sip of my tea after eating the over-salted squid rings. The business owner had a 10 year old kid working the checkout counter instead of an adult. The buffet is so bad only a few customers come and they are usually elderly locals who probably remember back when this place was actually decent. read more

Great Chinese Buffet! Staff is very friendly to me and my family. They are constantly stirring the trays to keep the food rotated and fresh. Cheap price and quality of food for a buffet is better than most. read more

I love this place. The staff is friendly and actually talks to you, and the coconut shrimp is the BEST. I can't find that at other buffets. Open area seating, and really great food. Can't wait to go back! read more

My friend and I just got yelled at at Beijing Buffet by our server because he thought we weren't leaving a tip. Our bill was $62 and we put $65 in the billfold they leave, he picked it up and said do you want change, she said no keep that. He replies with $3 tip? She said yes keep that. He says, that's it just $3? To which she replies excuse me? He said you're only leaving me a $3 tip? She said no we'll leave more on the table when we leave. He said " I'll be watching". She told him we would like to see the manager. He said fuck you and walked away. My friend went to get the manager herself who also was rude and said he had to leave at 9 so basically he's justified in asking for his tip. needless to say, we won't be coming back. read more

Good place. good value. Nice staff. Lots to choose from. One off the better Chinese buffets around!!

The quality is what you expect from a Chinese buffet. Although some of the buffet areas might look sparse, it's only because they don't like to keep them overfilled so they get dried out and gross. Instead, they are constantly refilling the different containers, just with smaller amounts at a time. I appreciate it, actually, as the food is always hot, crispy, and tastes fresh. The cold food is super cold, too. Everything is always very clean and their bathrooms appear to have been more recently updated (and they have a diaper changing table in the women's restroom now! Not sure when that happened, but I know two years ago that wasn't the case) read more

Been here a few times over the last 2 years. Hasn't improved, it's actually got worse! Food doesn't seem fresh and it's poor taste all around. It's way too costly for what they serve. Much better places for cheaper. read more

Absolutely one of worse Chinese restaurants. Even the jello was bad. Dried out bins of food that appeared to be a hold over from lunch. I could not find anything that I wasn't nervous about eating. I had my grand children with me and I am so sorry didn't just walk out. Don't waste your money. read more
