Our family normally enjoys the buffet. However if you go on a slow time. Food is nasty and old. As much as you pay for a family to eat out. The food should be good. So disappointing. Do better! read more

Went to Sunday dinner with some friends last week. Even though I live right down the street from this buffet, I hadn't visited it yet. I was wondering how it compared to Charm City Buffet, which I have been to several times. I assumed that it would be about the same, if not a tad bit worse, because it's smaller than Charm City Buffet. I am pleased to say that I WAS WRONG. Jeremy, Justin and I all thought that Best Buffet was better. The people cooking the food actually want it to taste good, instead of throwing whatever up on the buffet line thinking quality doesn't matter. I managed to eat two plates of food, which doesn't seem like a lot, but I had some big honkin' portions of meat. Everything was incredible, and I wish I could have unzipped my stomach and continued to eat. The roast pork was so tender and delicious. The spare rib meat came right off the bone and was sticky with that great hoisin-flavored Chinese sauce. The crawfish were spicy. All the Chinese dishes tasted like something you would get at a quality take-away. The sweet and sour chicken nuggets were crispy, and you get to sauce them yourself, so they stay that way. Jeremy couldn't get enough of the pepper steak and onions. Justin was the only one to take advantage of the hibachi - which he liked, but said it could use more vegetables to choose from. He would have liked some broccoli and mushrooms. I'm not sure if those things were available over at the salad bar, but if they were I feel like the manager of the buffet should consider moving the salad ingredients closer to the hibachi, so customers realize they have more choice. The shrimp were okay. I think I may be eating them wrong. I don't understand the seasoned coating on the outer shell. I peel off the shell, and thus all the coating, so why is it there? I ate half a dozen of them, though, so don't think I'm going to let my confusion stop me from eating shrimp whenever possible. Sharon, our other friend, wanted to pay for Jeremy and I, but didn't factor in the fact that prices are higher on the weekends and during dinner (she picked the time and day), so I ended up paying for myself because the price for two was already more than she expected to pay. Personally, I thought for the selection of foods, and considering it was dinner, the price of approximately $22 per person wasn't bad. I think this is the reason why she said that she preferred Charm City Buffet (when we paid), though she claimed that she thought the food tasted better at CCB. Her favorite item at Best Buffet was the coconut shrimp (which I regret not trying, but I couldn't fit anything else in my belly). I do wish that there was something seriously chocolatey, like a brownie, on the dessert bar. I tried to soothe my sweet tooth with a slice of cake with chocolate mousse on top, but it just didn't cut it. This is my top buffet choice (for now. There's a new one being remodeled on North Point, behind the mall, that I'm eagerly awaiting). I feel like I could go there every week, try new things each time, and be just as pleased as I was on Sunday. read more

If you have a option run far away from this establishment, I took my Family for dinner tonight and experience the waiter, picking his nose and handling utensils for us to eat off of also noticed none of the staff were wearing gloves while handling food. Also the waitress had a bad attitude and could not understand English when asking for water I paid $100 for five people to eat, which was not bad pricing The food was very scarce and picked over a lot of the food that was available was cold and did not have any flavor. I would not go back to this place again to spend my hard hard money if I have a choice please run away far away this place get zero stars from me. It needs to be inspected by the health department!!!! read more

Decent food. The pricing was relatively good, but the selection wasn't exactly extreme. Brave for running a sushi included buffet though.

Honestly was thrilled to find this buffet. Sometimes you just need to eat 'all the things' and Best Buffet in Dundalk fit the bill. Blue crabs, crab legs, seafood boils - all a part of the buffet price even at lunch time. Interiors were clean and well maintained, with food refills often. We went in around 11:30 on a Saturday before the rush started and the food was still pretty fresh and newly filled. I enjoyed all the seafood and also the usual suspects like crab rangoons, general tso's chicken, pepper steak, etc. One word of advise to the owners - I wish they would label ALL the food items properly. Some items were not labeled so there was a little confusion on what it was. Otherwise if they keep this standard of service up and good quality of food - this place will do very good business. It's hard to find a good clean buffet with a lot of variety nowadays. read more

This was disgusting it tasted like shit I have never eaten at a worst Buffet place I literally left feeling utterly disgusted they need to fix everything stuff was all out of place Seafood was next to fresh fruit single most disgusting buffet in the entirety of Baltimore they should be ashamed that the cause of a buffet this place was the worst place in the entire world I can't believe that we actually could sensually paid for this place it was so disgusting it was gross it made me want to throw up all over the bathroom $20 for that food I wouldn't even pay one penny I want to ask my money back but they probably won't understand what that means please if you see this review take my advice don't waste your money and don't eat there you will regret your entire life and all the decisions you made up into that point I would rather die of hunger than eat there again ​ read more

Honestly, I was a little apprehensive in trying out Best Buffet, as I'm not really into Chinese buffets. However, I saw that this place had recently opened up and was a favorite of the locals. We were greeted warmly, and you pay first before you get seated. You have your typical Americanized Chinese fare, in addition to various Latin and American eats, seafood, sushi, and a teppanyaki station. I personally tried out their Old-Bay seasoned snow crab legs, peel-and-eat shrimp (not deveined), the crab rangoon (bite-sized), seasoned string beans (tasty!), and a create-your-own stir-fry from the teppanyaki station (no yum yum sauce available, but was not needed, as the dish was seasoned well). The food was okay - it could have been more piping hot, considering we came right when they had opened. There were several parties that came in after us, to dine-in or to get their buffet (charge per pound) to go. Beverages are included in the price, which was a nice perk. I loved the decor - the owner/manager stated that her daughter created all of the artwork, which was pretty impressive! I also thought it was pretty cool to see that the staff were trimming the string beans - shows that they actually put care and effort into their dishes! Service was super friendly and attentive. Plenty of parking in the large plaza lot. +weekday and weekend buffet available +beverages included in the buffet price +friendly service +clean! +plenty of parking in plaza lot read more

I've always seen Best Buffet off North Point since we moved to the area but was also skeptical. They recently relocated off Merritt within a shopping center and we decided to check them out. First off, I know it's newer but it was very clean which I can personally appreciate!! Second, the staff are friendly and I love that the decor inside is all a piece of the owners daughters work! Here was the best part, it was one of the customers kids bday and the staff came with a piece of cake and sang happy birthday to him! I don't know many other buffets that do that. In terms of the food, nice wide selection ranging from sushi, soups, Chinese, American and teppanyaki. At the Teppanyaki station, the cook, cooked each item individually which was nice bc everything cooks at different pace. He then folded the egg & all the other ingredients in together. The sushi was a little lacking. Given there was only one person but most of the options has crab meat and cream cheese. I do wish more raw options were made available. The other fried foods could use a few more seconds in the fryer as it seemed a little underdone. The Rangoon in particular could use a bit more cream cheese and maybe fried more in a triangular shape than a pocket pinch shape as that left the top super crunchy to the point it also cut the roof of my mouth biting in. Lastly, the cost... for two adults drinks included !!! Came to $42 before tip. Not bad! read more

Right straight to the top of buffet dining experiences! This is a new location for this business, and I predict it will really take off in popularity. It was a weekday early lunch, and we arrived shortly after it opened, lots and lots of fresh food and reasonable prices. To go is $6.99/lb lunch & $7.99/lb dinner. For us seniors, it was $13.49 pre-tax to dine in. All the furnishings are new. Drinks are included, even the hot tea, which is served in a clear glass pot. What a nice change. Plates are under the buffet counters. Just take 1 and go. Plenty to eat on a standard Chinese buffet, which also included lightly seasoned male crabs (maybe med's). Extra Old Bay nearby. They also have sushi and a Hibachi, all included. Some American selections, too...pizza, spinach with cheese topping, Buffalo chicken wings... 4 kinds of soups: Wonton with Wontons floating in it, chicken noodle, egg drop, and 1 other, memory escapes me. The accompanying crunchy fried wonton triangles are fresh and light, a perfect complement along with the green onion slices. There is a fresh fruit bar as well. Lots and lots of desserts, you can even scoop your own ice cream into a cone or bowl, from the large containers of Jack and Jill brand...oreo, chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. Really good service, friendly and helpful. Free parking out front. read more

If you're hungry for lunch and need a quick bite to eat with friends. Instead of ordering takeout or fast food , check out this cool spot. Lots of variety of fresh cooked food. Very clean environment. There are options for everyone . The service was great and the price was right. Can't wait to go back . read more

Visited this restaurant today to have lunch with my twin boys. They wanted Chinese so I thought let's give this place a try. Very clean establishment. It was not crowded, which i appreciated. We able to come right in pay for our food and be seated immediately. Our waiter was very attentive with taking our trash and keeping our drinks filled. The food was decent some items could of used a little more seasoning/flavor but over all for the price it was pretty fair can't complain. I plan to see try them again during dinner hours to see if they change their buffet items. Give this place a try. read more

This is my first time trying Best Buffet. It was nice and spacious to my surprise and the decor was very modern. The Chinese food was pretty good, I did not try a lot of the American food options because they didn't look all that good. Overall this place is pretty clean and the wait staff were very attentive and helpful. I would recommend this place if you are into buffets like I am. read more

The food was absolutely wonderful. They had all my favorites and I will definitely return.

TLDR: Decent Chinese buffet. Very clean and well laid out Has all of your standard Chinese/American fare. Sushi was severely lacking selection but hibachi was above average. Vibe: 5/5. Now located in a strip mall on Merritt Blvd, Best Buffet has a new look compared to their old location off North Point. The restaurant is brand new, with the entire facility sporting modern amenities and clean from head to toe. Both booth seating as well as table seating is available for larger groups. The buffet area is laid out very thoughtfully. There are 8 buffet stations as well as the sushi and teppanyaki counters. Bonus points for them having a whole condiment bar for all your sauce needs as well as soy sauce at every table. Staff: 5/5. The entire staff that we encountered at Best were great from start to finish. Upon arrival, you are greeted at the front counter and you must pay first before being seated. Our waitress was very nice and attentive to our table for drinks and removing dirty plates. While, we were dining, we watched the staff celebrate another customer's child's birthday with their own personal cake with candles and sang. Definitely a nice touch, especially for a buffet Food: 3/5. Unfortunately this was the biggest miss for Best Buffet. While the hot food selection was decent, including all your usual suspects such as General Tso, beef and broccoli, dumplings, soups and American food, I felt there were significant missed opportunities in the sushi department. During my Wednesday night dinner service, the sushi bar was never fully stocked and mostly consisted of various renditions of California Rolls. There was only 1 time where I had any maguro or raw salmon sushi/maki. They had a staff member manning the sushi bar all night, but constantly turned out cooked rolls vs actual sushi. On a positive note, the teppanyaki was very good. The chef did a great job cooking the proteins and eggs as well as seasoning everything nicely. He separated out the steak from shrimp knowing they cook at different speeds as well as used both Sriracha and soy sauce to flavor. Dessert was OK as well, with your standard selection of cakes and ice cream. Overall, for $20 at dinner and $15 at lunch which includes a drink, Best Buffet offers a decent selection for a fair price. read more

Great food, well prepared! Plenty of variety - all items [of food] always available.

For ~$20 you can get a lot of really good Chinese American food at Best Buffet. To me, the food here is closer in quality to takeout than your average buffet. The interior is much more spacious than your average buffet as well. They had egg foo young which was amazing and honestly I can't rave enough about the food in general. read more

The food was fresh and tastes great and the staff was very pleasant and professional, they kept the restaurant looking very clean.

This actually stood up to its name. I was so hungry and everything there was pretty good. I think my favorite part was the dessert. It was absolutely delicious. The service was great, everyone there was nice. The restaurant inside had some cool decorations that were unique to me 10/10! read more

I grew up going to the original location near Eastpoint. I'm happy for them that they were able to move over here. The original building has been worn down over the years as all places do. Much more modern at this location. Good food. Friendly folks. Plenty of seating that you wouldn't expect looked at the front of the building in a shopping center like that. read more

Terrible, overrated. Both family members got real bad diarrhea. Although the wait staff was very helpful. I would not reccomend ,some food like the roast pork, should have been cooked low and slow .some people there were very sloppy and spilled food on the floor and didnt say anything or tell the workers? read more

I recently stumbled this "best buffet" restaurant on my way to the petsmart near by. It peeked my interest because this exact restaurant use to be behind eastpoint mall and i always loved the food at that location so i thought it'd be the same. I was $64 for 3 people to eat. At $20 a person. There's a 2 hour limit of how long you're allowed to be there. On the reviews it showed they had crab legs. Upon arriving, Getting sat down and walking over to the buffet bar, There was none.. When i asked a worker about if they will have any new ones she seemed like she didn't speak much english and was very confused.. She said they didn't have any more but i saw other people eating them. I came around 5 o'clock so im not sure if i just came to late or what. But i feel like 5 o'clock is a very fair dinner time. Most of the food was cold. Definitely not worth $60. it wasn't a bad atmosphere it was relatively quiet but as we were leaving there was a very long line. I don't think i'll be returning. If i do it will definitely be earlier then 5 pm. read more

2 stars because it was very clean and the servers were kind. Other than that this was a waste of $20. First of all it's a buffet but has hardly any variety.... there's like 20 different items and many staples are missing. The food that DOES exist sits around for long periods of time and does not get changed out/fresh often and everything was incredibly bland and mediocre. Absolutely would not be back. read more

Just want to say new look, new place very modern. Food was very delicious. Very clean food is warm . The service was phenomenal. read more

Yuk. Cold food. Feels unsanitary there. Just gross. The service is okay but it is not worth $20 at all!

The food was cold, poor selection, was pricey for dinner when there's not much to even get , I'd give it zero if I could there's better buffets with actual warm fresh food read more

Great food and awesome staff. My family goes often. Baby loves the food too. Great service.

Great food, wonderful customer service, and relaxed ambiance! "Best Buffet is now my go-to buffet restaurant. It's definitely worth revisiting again and again! read more

This is the renovation of the Best Buffet that was behind Eastpoint Mall. It is definitely spacious. The food is better if you ask me. Went there last week. Someone said it was better than Charm City Grill & Buffet on Joppa Rd...Not! But it is good though. Sorry, I don't have any pics read more

The only thing good about this restaurant was the service. The food was cold ,dry, or just down right disgusting. My granddaughter liked the chicken nuggets and fries. My husband was not impressed at all. He couldn't get out of there quick enough. read more

So so good! The food, ambiance, service -- all of it is amazing! Not to mention, there's Hershey's ice cream. I will be back!

I used to be a long time customer of this place. Loved the food. They moved and I did not know where. I found my favorite place this morning on Merritt Blvd in Dundalk. The food is excellent and I love the owner, servers and new place they are in . Will be returning many times. So happy I found them in business! read more
