I moved to the Quincy area a while back and was looking for a good Chinese Restaurant. I was talked into going to Best Buffet and I was not disappointed. Extremely friendly staff, very good food. Over the past 3 years I have never been disappointed eating there. For "Americanized" Chinese food they can't be beat. read more

Food was average, at best. Nothing hot just luke warm. Mongolian beef was basically raw onions with a few small pieces of beef. General Tsoas chicken sauce was the consistency of water. Service was prompt and polite. Can't say Id return read more

Wasn't as impressed with the food this time. Definitely was better the last time we went. Our server was amazing. Definitely A+ for service. I really wish the drinks were included with the cost of the buffet. read more

Very dirty restaurant. The walls around our booth were filthy with food smeared all over and dirty cobwebs that have been there for some time. Arrived for dinner at 6:30 and food was dried out, obviously sat for a long while. The cheese wontons tasted sour so I didn't eat them. Daughter found either a little bone or hard cartilage in the bbq chicken on a stick. Food was hot / cold as appropriate. read more

Great variety from Mac & cheese and chicken nuggets to Mongolian beef and General Tso's chicken to sushi! There's a salad bar and desserts too! My favorite is the green beans and Mongolian beef. It had a char grilled flavor. The chicken and broccoli was delicious Service was prompt and ready. The ambiance was good too. Overall, better quality food, better taste, fresher than grocery store Chinese food, and better value. read more

We don't often go to Best Buffet however have gone twice in the past couple months. Previously we weren't super impressed. This time was about 7pm on a Friday night. All the food was hot, buffet was full, there was a good variety of options. The sushi was full although my husband thought the fried sushi had been there a bit (I did not notice that). Our waiter kept our drinks full. Great place to pop in for a quick meal when we didn't want to spend over an hour plus to get dinner while out running errands. read more

Buffet is missing the top chief before Covid, since then the food has been the same, but it doesn't taste as good as before compared pre Covid. The volume of customers shows that something is lacking. Sad to see the last Chinese buffet doing poorly in town. The Ambiance is modern and very nice. read more

food was not good at all mac and cheese was very watery they have change the buffet the chicken is now chicken -nuggets never try is so bad it hurt stomach then I left . 1 star don't try. read more

Best Buffet has some of the best sushi I've had in the Midwest for being a restaurant that doesn't specialize in sushi. They have a large selection that is out on the line, and also are willing to make special rolls individually upon request at no additional cost. Aside from the large amount of items out on the line, Best Buffet Also has a hibachi style grill that costs no additional money and is made to order. Best Buffet is top notch for the price and selection. read more

I believe there has been a change of ownership recently. They lost Sushiman, who made the best sushi, and have now changed ingredients in their sushi. Used to be best sushi in town, is now deplorable. Very, very sad. Took rating from 5 star to 3. The Mongolian grill is still quite good with perhaps even better flavor. read more

This place is pretty good for a buffet. Good assortment of tasty food. All of the food was hot and tasted very good.

I was shocked how good this food was for a buffet Chinese place. The only reason that I am giving it 4 instead of 5 is because there are some items on the buffet that we did not like (from the looks of it other people didn't seem to like it either) and it appeared like it had been sitting there for quite some time. From the outside of the restaurant you would never know that the restaurant is actually extremely big. When you enter, you are greeted with a nice little koi pond which my kids loved. (There were tooth picks in the water when we had walked in but I was pleased to see that they were removed by the time we left). We were immediately seated and then immediately approached by our server and got our drink order. He was extremely friendly and took the time to talk to our 3 and 5 year old. (Some of the other servers also came by and had a short conversation with them too, the kids loved it). Our drinks were quickly brought to us as well. The buffet is really awesome. They offer all types of options in the buffet area and then they also have a grill where you can pick meats, noodles, veggies & sauce and they cook it up for you immediately as well as offering a sushi bar which is fresh and very very tasty. My little ones really liked that there were mini pizzas offered on one of the buffet tables as well. There is also a nice salad bar and a very extensive dessert table if you are able to save room for it! We had lunch there and the bill for 2 adults and 2 kids came out to be $25. Not bad for what you are offered. We were impressed and we will definitely be back! read more

Good selection, good quality. Most of the sushi has cream cheese with it. Frog legs were tasty, good General Tso. Lots for dessert. read more

We are always 100 percent satisfied when we eat here. There are several Chinese restaurants closer to us but we'll go the extra miles for The Best Buffet. The sushi is fresh and the selection has expanded recently we've noticed. Awesome crab rangoon and assortment of popular hot dish favorites. The price is reasonable, 30 bucks for 4 people at lunch on Friday with water to drink. read more

Best Buffet - Sushi bar - Buffets Near Me - Quincy, Illinois

What happened to this place? Used to be so good. This will be my last time going here. Entire meal was dried out, Mongolian beef so tough you couldnt cut it. Crab Rangoon was just brought out and had not only no flavor but was tough. Crab casserole had no cheese in it. Hot and Sour soup had the most horrific taste and a metallic like after-taste. Stuffed mushrooms were dried out. Only decent tasting thing was the Gen. Tsos and the noodles (which were cold). Im so upset. This used to be my go to for Chinese. Wont go back read more

This place is way above average compared to the asian buffets you see in every town. This place is never empty so the food gets refreshed at a decent rate. I love the food. The sushi is super awesome. The gentleman who makes the sushi does a very good job and there is a great variety. All of the staff has always been very nice. I highly recommend. It is also one of the cheapest places in town to feed young kids (teens are full price). The price goes up a little more with age of toddlers and young children. read more

Decent place, food was good. Our chicken was a little dry and the chicken wings weren't fully cooked or we're too over cooked.

I visited along with family on a whim based off the previous reviews posted and I have to say we were not disappointed by far. Everything seemed to be made fresh and tasty the fresh made sushi was okay but everything else was satisfactory. For only $9.99 per person it was definitely worth it and we will return when we visit the area again as we do not live here. read more

On August 12th 2020 around 1-2pm my grandma and I had lunch here at the best buffet. Within a few hours I started feeling extremely ill. I have been sick ever since I ate there. I haven't had anything to eat since I was there on Wednesday except apple sauce and crackers. And today I had to go to the emergency room because I have been having problems and horrible pain since I ate there. I am wondering is there anyone else within the Quincy area or anyone who ate there that has become ill. read more

It's ok. The positives is they have a variety of foods and the service was good! But the food wasn't very great and looked like it had been setting there for awhile. read more

I absolutely love this place! The gentleman who makes the sushi, deserves a raise! Every time I come in he makes fresh pieces for me. I always leave him a tip. The woman who helps refill the buffet and sometimes does Hibachi is amazing as well! She's so kind. The gentlemen, who could be brothers, that work up front always ask me how I've been doing and etc. If you're kind to the staff, at any establishment, I promise they will ALWAYS take care of you!!!!! read more

When we are in the area, it's always a treat to stop by Best Buffet! Even as vegetarians, we have plenty of options to fill us up, ranging from great veg sushi, the quick custom grill service, and a variety of noodle, rice, and veg dishes - not to mention mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese. The hot & sour soup is a great way to start and finish a meal, and the selection of fruit, salad items, and desserts are great! We really appreciate the service as well - each time we've been in, it's been with family members who prefer to catch up since our last visit - we're never rushed or made to feel like they need to turn the table over. It's a great meal to get stuffed with before a 4-hour drive home - thanks again Best Buffet! read more

I dont quite understand all the great reviews aout this place. My husband took me and the first thing I though when I saw the food was 'this in NOT the best buffet'. The food looked like it was sitting there for many hours. It was bland and had no real flavor. It took 45 minute for them to refill the Lo Mein. Some of their food was so greasy that when you bit into it the grease just dripped out. Aside from the food, I'm highly surprised that they havent been turned in for animal abuse or neglect. There is nowhere near enough room for the amount and size of Koi they have in that pond, it broke my heart. I will never go there again and will be telling all of our friends and family to steer clear. read more

There is really quite an impressive variety of food here, including typical Chinese buffet options and an extensive salad bar. However, the most impressive thing about this place is the relatively wide variety of fresh sushi that is included in the buffet. I rarely eat sushi off of a buffet, but all of it is very fresh (and a lot of it, but not all, includes cream cheese, which is a bonus for me). There is a teppanyaki option that is pretty decent if you want it, and the Chinese food is pretty good as well. The price is very reasonable considering the availability of fresh sushi and the wide variety of food offered, and there are always quite a few people eating. My husband and I have enjoyed stopping at the Best Buffet for Chinese and sushi when we have been in town and plan to eat here several times more in the future. read more

This was sooo disappointing. The employees couldn't be nicer. Went In for a take out order. I ordered appetizer,BBQ spareribs,egg roll,shrimp fried rice and pork egg foo young and hot and sour soup. Let me just say,I'm not a picky eater so for ME to say something is in edible, THEN IT HAS TO BE REALLY BAD! The soup was absolutely tasteless. Had to just throw that away. Egg rolls were good but the spareribs had a lot of chunks of fat on them and the sauce was REALLY greasy and gross looking. It turned my stomach. Shrimp fried rice was ok but it did seem more like Mexican yellow rice rather then Asian fried rice. The egg foo young was horrible! It had the same rice with peas and carrots in it and the sauce was horrible and resembled nothing like what it's supposed to be. Go to Walmart and buy frozen Chinese food if your really desperate. Don't bother going here. read more

Visiting here from Brookfield, IL for a family reunion. saw this on Yelp, had decent reviews, said what the heck...I thought the food was very good! Even my wife who does not like most restaurant's sesame chicken thought it was excellent. The food was fresh, the vegetables were al dente, the chicken, beef and pork not over cooked and dried out, the service was quick and polite, and there was an abundant selection. An excellent value overall for any town! What makes it impressive is that's it's in Quincy. read more

This is easily the best Chinese food in Quincy. It is always clean and the staff is always very friendly and checks on you plenty to make sure you are taken care of. There is a large selection and the food is kept fresh. The quality of the food is very good. It is priced the same as almost all Chinese buffet's are. As someone else said, the rice is yellow. The very first time I went there I was a bit skeptical because of that. I was not let down though and it tasted as it should. Who cares about the color of the rice if it taste good? For being a Chinese buffet I will give it 5 stars. read more

This is the second time back and the results similar. Variety is ok. The food turns so hopefully fresher than some buffets. Quality is ok. Sushi was fine and the chef friendly. Unfortunately sushi isn't a staple of this area and it sits for awhile so you need to get last out for freshness. Staff except the hostess is friendly. Overall if you can handle the food quality and like variety for a reasonable price, this may work for you. Sensitive stomachs should pass as there's something in the food that promtes itchyness? read more

Good food with a wok that will cook what you choose. Better buffets in the area.

Excellent and friendly service. Clean welcoming atmosphere. Food is good. Price is relatively cheap. They keep fresh food filled on buffet. Husband loves the sushi. We eat here a lot with our family. read more

Best Chinese buffet hands down!! My husband & I travel from 30 mins away to eat here every chance we get!

Excellent Chinese food. Very wide variety on the buffet, even many choices for people who aren't fans of Asian food. Great service, and very friendly people. Very clean, and the food on the buffet is always fresh and hot. Best Chinese restaurant anywhere near Quincy! read more

Best Chinese Food in Quincy, hands-down. You have to try the Hundredflavor Chicken!

Are you ever in a big party of people wanting to eat on short notice without reservations? Then this is the place. 60 of us showed up. 60 fricken people! We showed up without any reservations (because it was unexpected) and the staff at best buffet handled us like a pack of cool cucumbers. The food was great (as it usually is) and our drinks never ran dry. No sir. I was drinking Diet Coke and the waiters kept it cold and coming. This is the place to go if your like me (impatient and impulsive). The only down side is the fact that bulimia is frowned upon in today's society. Otherwise I certainly would have strolled into the bathroom with my head held high as I cleared the way for more kimchi, sushi, pizza, chicken, egg drop soup, pork dumplings, banana puddin, and Diet Coke. My wife usually cries as I stuff my face into the late afternoon there (when it's just the two of us), but if there ever was a place to pig out while scaring the little lady, best buffet is the best place to do it! read more
