The food was good and hot better then the other buffets around all of the staff was very friendly never had to ask for a refill on drinks very pleasant time read more

We go here a lot. Once a month. Last 3 times the food has been terrible. This time Wednesday 8/6/26 the chicken wings were burnt, also the chicken on a stick was burnt too. The green beans were my fav but now they're soggy and wilted. I asked twice if they were gonna bring some out and they never did. All of the food needs to be improved. This place is a big let down. Needs new management. read more

I would not come here again, everything is salty and not tasty. The pricing is like any other cheap buffet but the food quality is NOT. The fried rice & stir fried noodles were on the saltier side. The egg drop soup was a bit more like thick and heavy with the chicken broth flavor. The wonton was so stale throwing it into the soup didn't even help soften it. The crab Rangoon was basically empty, I did think it was funny how underwhelming it was. Same with their crab legs. Also my friend had the sushi here and one of them was so bad they lost their appetite for the rest of the dinner. The place is also pretty dark and the atmosphere kind of gloomy. Don't think I'd recommend coming here to anyone even just to try. read more

Build your own bowl had brown raw meat and chicken that smelled sour, walked out before I could get sick. The place smells god awful, it was unbearable. read more

Went when they opened up at 11. Food was cold but expected since they've probably been sitting there for a while. I bet the food would be a lot better if I went during rush hour when the food is hot and fresh. read more

The food was way better than expected, the reviews I read were nothing like what I experienced. Definitely will be returning!

I am a super fat person not picky at all. I did not like the food. Service was great.

Disgusting old food that had evidently been sitting untouched for hours. Meat, rice and noodles were dark and old looking. Do not recommend. read more

The food was terrible. The restaurant itself is in fairly good shape but the food is not good. Save your money.

The service was ok. The food is terrible. Everything tastes like it's been sitting out all day. The sushi was so dense and biting into the fish it didn't even tear. Everything was hard and didn't taste good. Not going to come again. The only thing that was fresh was the make your own Mongolian bowl. read more

0 s don't come here the food is disgusting save your money..... tried to try a little bit of everything to see if it was maybe just 1 thing every single thing was nasty & tasted old. Tried to see what the fruit and desserts was giving & all fruit was ripe and hard & the ice cream machine was only serving vanilla and went to serve some and the machine was empty nothing was coming out completely disappointed I'll never be returning here but the staff/server was friendly! It's not there fault read more

They have the best sushi usually I would order the sushi with orange chicken and the noodles they have the best service ever they even seat you right as you walk in and pay and it was the best service ever! read more

Hey this for me was available at the moment I was here. This is a one stop only for me. I asked for senior or military discount. Starting at 2:30 pm The sushi was rice with vegetables. Really sucks. These people are used to not waiting tables. COVID 19 has really taken over service feels like California. Sucks. I sat extra time waiting because I had paperwork and a another appointment. Few people considering the size restaurant to . Than a idiot had the Gaul to ask me to move so he could get his sauce. I usually never give bad reviews. Pissed off no tip. No return. Try lens sushi next time. You know when you can not get by the smell. Leave read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. The food was cold, the cook that did the mongolian was a total jerk and even the water tasted disgusting. Never will I ever visit again. Especially for the price. What a waist of money!!!! read more

This one kinda sucked, not the worst I've had so that's why I'm not giving it one star, but when there's another so close to you you have to step up your game, because that other one is really good read more

So, my husband went to service an alarm system at the restaurant & was greeted by Mr. Mike Liu of the establishment. My husband was shown appreciation with Mr. Liu offering a FREE plate- to go once he was done with the system! I was VERY surprised with the act of kindness on Mr. Liu's part as he did not have to do that. My husband bought the plate home and we actually shared the LoMein, Egg Rolls, and Sesame Chicken he chose. LET ME TELL YOU: The LoMein was delicious! The noodles weren't overly cooked and slimy (as I've had and ran across from other places) and THE SESAME CHICKEN WAS ON POINT! I usually get the orange chicken when ordering Chinese because EVERY place (HERE in SA; the sesame chicken is always too spicy for me) BUT THIS IS DEFINITELY THE SPOT FOR SESAME CHICKEN (if you've been looking for a Non-spicy sesame plate) I told him we'd definitely have to dine-in one day after I FINALLY FOUND (The Place- with the perfect tasting SESAME- Hands Down!) I'm impressed with the Food & VERY IMPRESSED with the wonderful Act of Kindness my husband endured today. That speaks volumes about the management & staff! THANK YOU BUFFET CITY & I HOPE THIS ESTABLISHMENT CONTINUES TO THRIVE WITH GREAT & COMPASSIONATE STAFF ABOARD; ACTS OF KINDNESS SHOULD ALWAYS BE RECOGNIZED & I'M ALWAYS GRATEFUL TO MEET PEOPLE LIKE MR. LIU! Thank you again & GO CHECK THIS PLACE OUT IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY - Food was DELICIOUS & I'm sure you'll have a great customer service experience with someone like Mr. Liu leading staff! read more

This is a wonderful Chinese buffet. The food is nothing authentic, but you don't come to a Chinese buffet for authentic Chinese food. It has something for everyone: lots of chicken and beef, seafood, salad, noodles and rice, meatloaf, and pizza! There's also a dessert bar with fresh fruits, cookies and a soft serve ice cream machine. Come when you want to carbo load, it's so much better than a pasta dinner! read more

This place was recommended to me by a family member, we took our Daughter for her Birthday. Never again. First, the selection is minimal and they seem to fill up the Buffett space with deserts and fruits and the entrees are minimal. The rice was cold and the sushi was warm. The crab rangoons were still raw and not crispy. On our way out and after paying $70.00 for 4 people there was personal food and coffee creamers and what seemed like raw fish in the drink coolers. We will never go again and I suggest you save your money. read more

OK - I actually really enjoyed my dinner here at Buffet City. I was en route on a 1200 mile road trip and needed to take a break to grub while in San Antonio. The buffet had a nice assortment of items, all were hot which was nice to find. The frog legs were tender, but could have used a some more pepper. The pepper beef very good and also tender. The dumplings were mediocre in flavor and probably wouldn't get those again. The spare ribs were overcooked but sauce was right. I remember the steamed and buttered tilapia being popular, as it was in and out. The house special chicken was overcooked to being inedible. The real star here though is the mongolian BBQ station. They have a lot of things right and only a few nitpicks on my side. Things that matter to me: bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, water chestnut slices, pineapples, mini corn, shrimp, and whole eggs. The noodles could be better but are far from the worst I've tried. They are a bit soft. As far as sauces go - it's been a while since I've seen an actual assortment, which brings me joy to find. You put all the sauces you want in a small styrofoam cup and then bring it with your bowl up to the cook. If you're looking for a good starting point for a sauce base here is what I like: - 1 hefty spoon of minced ginger, no you're not overdoing it - 1 spoon sesame oil - 1 spoon rice wine - 1 spoon lo mein sauce - 2 spoons kung pao sauce - Half spoon of Mongolian sauce - no teriyaki or soy I made two plates of mongolian bbq. read more

Food is bland at best and some items where left empty! My wife and I both got sick from eating here. Save your money and health and keep moving away from this place!! read more

Um. I eat here sometimes but after today I think I'll cook my meals at home. At least I know the kitchen conditions in my house. The food at this place was good until I found a cooked roach in my fried rice noodles, and on Christmas. I'm going to go throw up now. This was not the protein source I wanted. read more

The best buffet always fresh food the stir fry Mongolian part is the best sushi is very highly made way better then China sea China harbor chopsticks or kings buffet worth the time n money will be back again n again They have coupons behind the heb receipts so it can be a win win sometimes read more

Worst experience EVER Staff was very RUDE I asked my waiter if she could warm up my plate because the crab legs were cold, which they have done for me in the past, without a problem. I was told that It would be a $2 charge per plate I drove 30+ mins to this restaurant and will NEVER return Egg drop soup didn't have any flavor I asked for a medium steak and it was burnt So disappointed in how this restaurant treats their customers looks like ill be looking for a restaurant that serves fresh steamed crab read more

A decent example of it's breed. I've been 3 times, and it's always been clean and good selection on the buffet, even for picky kid eaters. They have a mongolian grill table but I haven't tried it. They do cater for more of the bland side it seems, even their spicy labelled items aren't really. But the food tastes pretty good anyway. Even have a pretty decent salad/fruit/cold item bar. read more

New update: My family and I come back today. Their food and services was good. The receptionist remember we didn't come for awhile We enjoyed it this time. One more thing, They used to serve hot crab legs , but they're cold now Hoping they make the crab legs hot again. read more

Decided to give it one more shot a year after our first. This place sucks. Going to a Chinese buffet isn't usually at the top of my list when eating Chinese food so I don't think it's going to be GREAT. But this wasn't even edible. My seasame chicken was like eating jerky, couldn't bite it. The sushi rice was hard, the crab legs were soggy, I couldn't even break them. My husband grabbed a couple oysters but no way was he found to put those in his mouth. The cream cheese wontons were good. I can't think of anything else. I know we went an hour and a half before e closing but that's an hour and a half of peopLe still wanting to eat a half way decent dinner. They closed the grill where you can make your own bowl 50 minutes before closing time. Which sucked because after realizing everything was gross we would have for some. So after that closed everything else started. The food getting put away, yes, put away not thrown out. I feel sorry for anyone doing lunch the next day. And while putting away the guy used his chin and front of his body to get the plastic wrap usinh the same side he tOuched to touch the food. Glass cleaner on the tops while food was still hanging out. Sweeping and vacuuming aNd slamming dishes around. Personally any job I ever had you don't start doing this stuff until after the customers leave and we were not the last ones there. The host was rude and seemed annoyed she had to do her job at all. All and all, this place is terrible and we will Never be back. read more

We like it. We aren't food snobs. We ARE buffet snobs though. Hot fresh food all the time, good seafood selection, and I'm a fan of the Mongolian grill. My son requests this restaurant because of the ice cream, but it's picky kid friendly with pizza and chicken strips and French fries on buffet. read more

It smells weird. Not sure if it's the cleaning or what. Food was nasty. Nothing worth me going back for. Lacked flavor. Sweet tea was not sweet. Maybe they had an off day. read more

Terrible Fish!! It tasted like it had been fried in old oil. Needless to say it was not edible. I will never go there again! The restaurant was dirty and the carpet was filthy. The manager was extremely rude. I advice you : DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! read more

The food that they put out was the most horrible tasting that I have ever experienced. I was unable to get thru half of the plate. I pushed the plate away to get another plate of different food with the same results. My wife also was unable to eat. When we complained to the manager about the quality of the food, they told us this is a buffet, what do you expect and wanted to charge us the full price for the meal even though we were unable to eat hardly any of the meal. read more

Really large buffet with crab legs Great price for how many options there are. They also have a buffet where you out what you want on it and they cook it ..it was way to much sauce though. Staff was slow to fill drinks . read more
