I've eaten here several times before but this might be the worst experience I've ever had here. Not many choices, and the food just tasted off. I thought maybe I just made bad choices on my first plate so I pushed aside my first attempt and tried again.. The green beans were woody and greasy, honey chicken tasted like chemicals. My fiance went to the bathroom and "lost her cookies" after eating the broccoli casserole which pretty much ended the meal for the both of us.. we'll just say we've learned our lesson and will not be back. read more

II had heard good things about this place, but sadly, they were not true. The food is unbelievably low-grade. I tried almost everything, and it was all cold to barely warm, poor quality, cheap "food" to start with, and then it was not prepared well. I have never eaten somewhere before where I spit out more of the food into a napkin than I ate. A lot of the food tasted like they threw it from the freezer right into a fryer. The sesame chicken (usually my favorite) was 10% "chicken" (I hope) and 90% filler? dough? Fiberfill from a pillow? I am not sure what it was. The pieces looked huge, but had almost nothing in them. Chicken on a stick was almost jerky, it was so dried out and hard. "Beef"dishes were so tough and chewy, you couldn't swallow them. Rice was so dried out soy sauce could not save it.. Fish had poor consistency and funny taste. I checked out the "Hibachi grill" area and it was slim pickins there too. The meat was razor thin, looked like it was partially frozen still and had a LOT of fat in it. You could not have paid me to try the sushi by this point. But whoa boy - you can get hot dogs in batter! Ancient Chinese secret, huh? The ice cream was a weird combination of soft serve and whipped cream I had never seen before. The only things I could stomach at all were the hot & sour soup and the "Bourbon Chicken" which wasn't great (I sure didn't taste where the "Bourbon" part was)- it was just thigh pieces with a lot of fat on them - but it did have an OK grilled flavor. Unfortunately, everyone else must have thought so too, because they were out of it most of the time. The funniest thing I saw there was this guy loading up his plate with lime jello. My personal buffet philosophy is to get stuff I normally can't make at home for 50 cents, but that's just me. After eating this stuff, I began to see where he was coming from. Then there was this one woman who had loaded up one plate with a ton of "hot" food, then went to the salad bar for her 2nd plate before she sat down! So the barely warm food would have been colder than her salad by the time she got to it. Made no sense. I think she thought she was only allowed one trip. I expected my fortune to say "Seek medical assistance soon". In any case, please learn from my mistake and avoid this disaster. read more

My boyfriend and I were lured in by the fascinating carnival happening next door. After laughing at the generic name... Buffet Palace? Really? We were ready to take the plunge. Main points: Giant assortment of fried things that all taste the same Soaking wet floors that we nearly died on Clear jello tastes like windex, so steer clear. If you're feeling adventurous and exploring East Tulsa, and you have 24/7 access to a toilet as well as a car air freshener, hey, why not go to Buffet Palace? read more

Not good at all. Do not waste you or your children's time. Sushi was meh. Tempura cold. The peel and eat shrimp is not kept on ice and therfore the shrimp has a weird consistency. My son tried the jello.. spit it out. Same with the pizza. He ended up not eating a bite. I kept thinking "I'll get _____. It's hard to mess that up." Boy, was I wrong. Lo mein. Banana pudding. Everything was cold or just tasted weird. The fruit decor on the dessert bar was ROTTEN. I am not kidding. Over priced mistake that we have made twice. Never stepping foot inside again. I watched helplessly as more patrons went in. I wanted to call out to them.. read more

I decided to give this place another try. It was a 180 compared to the first time. The food was actually very good. Still could use improvements on the place, but I will go back. read more

Food dry asl. They don't even got the basics. Rice is dry asl. No fried chicken here. EVERYTHING LOOKS DRY or MUSHY and SOGGY. Fried things are soggy. Im not sure why this place is even running. Don't come here unless you wanna waste your money. Poor services. Food isn't shit. They charge extra for drinks also too. At this point, make the drinks included with lunch prices Bc the food is so poor quality. I should have just ate at home. read more

By far the worst Chinese food I've ever had... I should have known. Now I'm kicking myself in the ass because of what I know will be the results of eating here, that is, the doo doo pooh pooh. read more

This is the worst food I have ever had at a buffet. It may be just an off day for the restaurant, but all the dishes tasted weird and all the chicken seemed undercooked. Staff was very friendly though read more

Food variety is average, but the taste of the food are below average. Service here is also below average. Drinks are fine, but hot tea taste more like just hot water. Dessert isn't much either and ice cream doesn't have much of a taste but the texture was smooth and perfect. Overall, I don't recommend this place unless you have no other choice but to choose here. read more

Very big selection on the buffet. Food had a good taste, but was pretty cold for as fresh as it looked.

My wife and I stopped there on a Sunday for lunch. The place was busy. The food was fresh. Service was good. This might be our new favorite buffet spot. read more

I had just gotten off of work and I was starving to eat some Chinese food. So me and my girlfriend went into buffet palace to eat a buffet that includes sushi as well. Well the sushi was rock hard and made us sick to our stomachs, when we told the waitress that it was awful and hinting that a new batch be made, she said sorry and walked off. Rude staff and the chicken was so dry and made me want to vomit, the ice cream even made me want to die to be completely honest. I want this place to shut down, they don't deserve business. Dinner buffet for $29 for the worst food I've ever had in my whole life read more

This is amazing. Great food, great price. Easily the best Chinese Buffet I have been to in a long time. Amanda our server is AWESOME!

Isn't 11:30 AM just a bit early for the food on the buffet lines to already be cold? I had not visited this establishment for a couple of years, and was sadly shocked at how far the quality has fallen during that time. Just not a quality eatery anymore, and I will not be back. read more

My family and I went to this restaurant about one and a half hours before close. At first glance, it wasn't bad. The server was polite and very responsive, but the food was lackluster at best. Most of the food was extremely bland, and the seafood did not seem safe to eat; we overheard another customer stating that the crawfish was not safe to eat, and we had some shrimp which had not been cleaned thoroughly at all (still had shrimp feces in it) so we did not eat it. Much of the food must have been sitting there for awhile as it tasted dry and generally overcooked. We definitely will not be returning to this restaurant and I would not recommend it to anyone. read more

The sushi was very good, and the buffet items were good as well. There isn't a huge selection, but what is available is fresh and replenished regularly. Will be back. read more

The food was horrible! The only think I could even swallow was the bourbon chicken. A lot of it tasted like chemicals or plastic, and some tastes cold and stale. And It was $30 for two of us. read more

Asian buffet with basic sushi, hibachi, and standard fare. Diverse clientele eating peacefully together. Filling a need for this section of town. Funniest part is the sign that says "Children 10 and under should be accompanied by an adult at all times" while a little boy was scooping jello into a plate. Just makes ya chuckle. read more

Grand opening so may be different than the first review here. I tried everything I could, 4 trips through buffet and I loved everything I tried. Bourbon chicken was perhaps best chicken I've ever had. Absolutely my favorite Chinese buffet! read more

For Tulsa, this is as good as a buffet is going to get. The atmosphere is lovely, and the servers were on the ball and quite friendly. I've hit up many buffets here in Tulsa, and while each has had its endearing qualities, this buffet was outstanding amongst them. Don't go there thinking this is a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, but it is actually very impressive for Tulsa. I do plan to return, and my fiance and I would feel comfortable recommending or inviting friends along. read more

Mother's day special - 2ppl for 30$ . Too expensive for a buffet for my taste but I was craving fried rice and it was close to work. The fried rice was basically cheap minute rice. . . Many dishes with shrimp were soggy and the shrimp was very watery and smushy. Every bar was very messy and food was flooding out into other dishes . The employees weren't very friendly and they just stood around talking with each other right in front of food that people wanted .. The Mongolian grill they had seemed okay but the chicken and meat were just sitting there on the bar without anything to cover it. It looked really watery but I decided to still go for it. I really was craving fried rice so I put together rice, 2 eggs, chicken and shrimp with soy sauce and garlic sauce .. the man grilled it. I took it to my table and ate some and the chicken tasted very old. Like it was starting to go bad. I kept eating everything else but the chicken and shrimp. I then threw up in the restroom because my stomach could not handle it. They gave me back 10$ . . . It was either that or free when I come back... but I'm not planning to come back... sushi train still has the best fried rice in Tulsa( so far that I know). read more

For a buffet, my family and I were quite impressed. We only had 45 minutes to eat, but we were able to get seated, get our food, and get it eaten in the amount of time we had with two small kids. The place was clean from what we could tell, women's bathroom was clean as well. We didn't go to the men's, so I can't comment on that. The waiters brought us drinks without us having to flag them down and the food was above average for a buffet. They also have a wide assortment of sushi compared to most buffet restaurants. We didn't order anything on the menu though. The only down side is I didn't see an ice cream machine. They did have a freezer with individual cups, but they were out. They had plenty of other deserts to make up for it though. read more

Went there 2 times before doing a review. I believe in 2nd chances. Both times were horrible. Food was old had to go to drink station and ask for refills. The sushi roller acted as if i was taking the food off his plate dirty looks and all. Will not take family back. read more

They put their plates inside the trash, with the food you dont eat, then dumps the food and puts the plate into another container.

That was grease on the go. Horrible fried, non fried grease dipped rice, and no flavor even in the flavored jello. You screwed up jello, come on!!! It was all just that bad. The salad bar was ok, but with bland dressings. Never again, it definitely was not worth sweating to death since they would not turn on the air and it was 95 degrees inside. read more

Good Chinese food. Better than other buffets we've tried in the Tulsa area. Loved the bourbon chicken, rice and noodles. Also loved the hibachi shrimp and veggies. My husband and I and our kids all found stuff we loved. Chicken on a stick was a little dry. FYI none of us are into sea food so there's that. We will be back. read more

It was what I expected for a buffet. Okay food with unlimited quantity. The sushi was Very old by the time I got there at 4 pm. The rest of the food was pretty good with a decent temp. The bathroom was very dirty.... piss all over the floors and you could tell the paper towel dispensers had never been disinfected. read more

Very nice looking inside, friendly people, has a chocolate fondue fountain and plenty of food to choose from! Will be back!

Average Chinese buffet. Nothing terrible or awesome. It has good selection of food and sushi. Food meets expectation for a buffet style. Overall satisfied for the price I paid. read more

This place is disgusting. We came for the sushi and then sushi was so dry the tuna and salmon had shriveled up. The crab Rangoon was so old the cream cheese was yellow and the soda was completely flat. I am so disgusted with this place we did not even fishing anything! I do NOT recommend this place PERIOD... read more

Lunch is $8. And for $8 you will get sushi with decently fresh fish, eel rolls and much more. I mean for $8 what do you expect. The food is pretty well seasoned and there's a huge variety of foods even during lunch hour. Hey if you are not spoiled by eating sushi at places that costs $20+, this place is for you. I don't think this place deserves 3 stars that's why I am writing this review. read more

Not the best I've ever had but it was pretty good! Got two or three plates. My only concern, was all the desserts were hard and just not good whatsoever. The real food is what people need to come here for. The servers were very attractive and very nice as well. read more

Went here to eat lunch and was our first time. Was hot and fresh. Good variety at a fare price. The hot and sour soup rocked, the best I have had in a long time. Their pepper chicken was excellent and their wontons tasted good too. I gave them 4 stars only because their dessert could use some work. But over all not bad for Americanized Chinese. (Wish there were authentic dishes.) read more

Foods didn't taste good. They don't provide utensil for cracking crab, they said they only have one in the entire restaurant and someone else is using it. Another word, they don't want you to eat crab or any other seafoods. Never go there again. read more

One of the best buffet in Tulsa and price on a all day Sunday still under 15 dollar. Like there fry crab and shrimp. Sad thing was there is no crab leg. It one of my family to go Chinese buffet. read more

See all

I used to go here every day for lunch. I would get the buffet to go. They give you a styrofoam box and weigh it when you pay. I got the same thing for weeks, Black Pepper Chicken and Cheese Wontons. The last couple times I went the lady at check out charged me sushi price for the cheese wontons. She said that they are Crab Rangoons and her boss said to charge sushi price! Reg is $4.85 per lb, Sushi is $9.00! The sign above the wantons says "Cheese Wonton". Nowhere does is say you pay sushi price for them! So instead of my usual $7.00 lunch she tried to charge.me.$13.00! It's only her though. If a different person is checking you out it's $7.00. I havent been back since. read more

Food was bland and chewy. Obviously reheated. It was just not good. Service was ok but I felt hovered over. Will not be returning.

I went to the Buffet Palace on Memorial Day with my son and his friends. After we finished eating I went up front to pay with my debit card. For some reason my card kept declining. I asked the lady can she try my card again and she said no. I then asked is there a BofA in the mall and she said no so nasty, so I checked the BofA app on my phone because I know I have money in my account, I just paid for my son and his friends at the movie theater. I then told this lady I have to go to the BofA across the parking lot, she had the nerve to tell me no. I told her if you want to get paid that's the only way it's going to happen is if I go to the ATM to take the money out. She had the nerve to tell me I had to leave my iPhone with her. I told her I wasn't going to nothing with her. My son and his friends said they'll stay there until I came back so this woman don't think I'm trying to stiff her. So I go across the parking lot to the ATM I take the money out and then I come back, she had the nerve to ask me do you have money? and I said to her what the hell does that mean? of course I have money, I don't eat at places and stiff people for the money. Then she had the nerve to ask me after she swiped my card if I wanted to leave a tip? I told her absolutely not, I do not want to leave a tip. You've just inconvenienced me and you're asking me to leave a tip? I told her tips are optional not mandatory and I also told her I will never come back there again read more

My mother and I dined there on 10/31/17. Entering, there was a definite mildew odor in the door. Should have left at that time. Made selections off of the hot food bar. ALL the hot food was less than lukewarm. Fried okra was so hard that you could not pierce it with a fork. Fried and battered meats were hard and difficult to chew. Again, there was NOTHING hot. The sushi was dry; specifically rice was very dry. My soft drink was definitely the highlight of my meal. Way over priced for what they provide. Spoke to manager: That was a waste of time. There was no offer to comp food or apology. The service was almost none. The wait person seated us, she did clear our dirty plates, but NEVER offered to refill our drinks, or checked to see if food was satisfactory. On a 1 - 5 scale I rate them a 0. read more

My husband and I were in the area of 41st & Yale on a Saturday around noon and in the mood for a Chinese buffet, so we looked on Yelp. This place was close, had fairly recently reviews and seemed like the most promising. Upon arrival I was a bit annoyed with their system. You have to get in line and pay first and then wait to be seated. This was a very slow process. After we were seated and made our first trips to the buffet, we still did not have our drinks. About halfway through our first plates, the waitress finally served us and apologized for ignoring us. They have a pretty good variety of food and it was pretty fresh. They had a good selection of sushi and also have a hibachi. Although I didn't have enough room to try either of these, they both looked appetizing. The building looked like it used to be a buffet restaurant like Golden Corral and was dark and a bit dreary. I don't see myself ever coming back to this place, even if I was in the area, but it was good in a pinch. read more
