    Best buffet I been to in Texas! Vegas still in the league but this buffet is the best in Texas. Everything I had was seasoned and prepared very well. Super clean, polite service and very affordable. $20 per adult is cheap with full snow crabs, blue crabs, large shrimp, American food, sushi bar, soup bar, dessert bar and so on..... The table curves like three times. lol it just keeps going. The soft drinks are Pepsi products. I'm not a fan but I'm ok with Dr.pepper. The decorations are mixed with Christmas and Chinese new year. Very lit up and kinda gives Tokyo drive vibes. Very pretty and very spacious.

    What do you get when you cross a hip hop new buffet place with a tinsy tiny parking lot? Welcome to Buffetopia. I found it hilarious how each establishment vigorously defends their lot spaces. The end tenant Long John Silvers has the most dedicated spaces, and put up hand written signs even to warn would be trespassers, yet still there were no customers in their big empty lot. There is a valet at Buffetopia but hey we are Asian. It was packed around 1 pm on a Sunday when we got there and even more packed around 2:40 pm when we left with the line noticeably out the door. Our waitress was nice and Japanese. The owners are Chinese she said. And the customers were a motley crew of Hispanic )in the clear majority), African Americans (a strong representation), Caucasian (not a lot but more than Asians), and a smidgen of Asians. So we came for the Raw Oysters and sashimi. Every thing else was just filler to us. I made the mistake of trying a few items from the hot buffet line while I waited for them to refill the raw oyster bar and sashimi bowl and it really filled me up. Rookie error. It won't happen again. The main temptation is the deep fried frog legs too, which tasted like chicken. They also got a Hibachi but hey be my guest to that if you're ready to fill up quickly. Deserts were meh. $2 discount if you're over 65 and children and kids get discounts. My child had to pay full price but only had 1 plate. So I felt compelled to make up the money Id be losing on her. I think at the end of the day I broke even. When I used the restroom I saw a moth on the wall. The same kind my dad's store had when it got infested from a contaminated shipment of rice. The worms hatch into these MF's? and it's so hard to get rid of them. Just saying from experience. There's a Totoro Mochi Donut store in this strip center. Alas I was too full to try it.

    Hello, we'll start by saying that the buffet line was not organized because they had plates situated everywhere so people were starting the line in the middle of nowhere and will jump in front of you. It was so unorganized. I removed the second star because I was seated near a restroom and didn't realize so many people were gonna be going in and out of that door and it made me lose my appetite a little bit. What else? The third star was removed because the food did not taste that delicious. It was like OK and it made me desire more. Plus, I've had better at the buffets in Katy Texas. I went on and removed the fourth star because I felt like the place wasn't as clean as I wanted it to be, my table wasn't as clean. The place didn't smell that fresh to me. I really was hoping to love this place so I can go back a second time, but I can't get over the egg rolls, not tasting as good and the cheese wontons and just other stuff, it just was not that good to me. Anyway, someone may like it, but I'm used to better so this is based off my decision. Thanks for reading my review.!

    Good Buffet with crab legs for decent price. I came in Saturday evening at 6pm and did not have to wait to be seated. The restaurant is clean and decor nicely. They got quite fresh seafood including snow crab leg, oysters, sushi, sashimi. Other bar has crab, rib, fried items and other rice/noodle/veggie similar to normal Chinese buffet. Dessert was so so. I did not try all food they have. Some food does not have labels.

    Finally an all you can eat buffet in Humble area. Price range is awesome and they have a large varieties of options. Lots of seafood options too. For $20 that's great. The restaurant is huge but parking is so limited. That's the only down side is the parking. They have valet parking but not too many spots neither. Food and services are good.

    Buffetopia is the mother of all recent buffets. We went on a busy Sunday and I was excited to try them. They do not take reservations but it was super easy to put our party of 10 on the list. We were seated in about 20 minutes, which was amazing for a buffet on a Sunday. Everything is automated and they call your number over the intercom. The place was crowded but you could not tell because it is huge! They have many, many stations with Chinese food, seafood, full sushi section, hot pot and hibachi. There is truly something for everyone. My fave foods were the potstickers and the sesame chicken with fried rice. My son did hibachi and they have so many options. They had plenty of snow crab and cold boiled shrimp but at times they ran low because so many were eating it. I enjoyed the fresh fruit too. The only bad thing is the parking lot is tiny. They solved this problem by offering valet parking, which is complimentary. We didn't wait long at all but did see some people get towed because they parked in the wrong spots. Please use the valet and tip them, they work hard and no worries about losing your car. You can text them to have your car ready and also tip through the app.

    Food was great! They had a wide variety of Asian buffet type dishes. Desserts were decent, that would be the only thing that could have been better. Service was great and and fast to clean up the plates. Ambiance was very neat and colorful.

    I love having people visit me, but sometimes when it comes to where to eat, I get a little nervous because I know everyone else has their own preferences! So I'm glad I found this buffet spot that leans more into Asian cuisine! My family truly enjoyed the ambiance, the cleanliness, and the array of different foods to try. A lot of the others eating there went especially crazy over the crawfish, but I'm not really a crawfish gal. I was satisfied with everything else though. Definitely worth checking out when you're in north Houston!

    Large variety of food -yes. Pretty and good service for a buffet -yes. Would I return- no. Hear me out. I drove 45 mins to get here in the rain. I waited 35 mins for a table behind 30+ other ppl but I will say they move fast. I had to fight for food because so many people were there the food disappeared pretty quickly. The good thing is it gets refilled pretty quickly too. The taste was as good as any other Chinese buffet. I loved all the neon signs and how pretty the restaurant is, but not enough to drive and wait to fight for food again.

    I have been waiting for Buffetopia to open and it was definitely worth the wait. Quite a few families walked out seeing a busy restaurant, but I can reassure you the queue system was really helpful managing customer flow. The restaurant layout is also very large and can accommodate anyone that walks through their door. The food was perfectly seasoned and I found myself circling back for Shumai, Nigiris, Seafood Boil, Salt Pepper Crabs, Garlic Potato, and Beef Puff Pastry. I was really eager to try the Hot Pot station but with only one broth option available, it didn't feel like a true Hot Pot experience. I would love to see a variation of broths being offered in the future. The staff was attentive, fulfilling drinks and removing dirty plates without being overbearing. All you can eat for $20 might seem steep, but prices for buffets has steadily increased over the years. The freshness of the ingredients and the inviting atmosphere has earned Buffetopia its spot in Humble.

    Buffetopia is not your simple Chinese buffet. They have livened up the atmosphere, added some amazing dishes and great customer service to the scene. Upon entering you're met by the hostess along with some bright colored design decor. You're seated and your waitress takes your drink order and then the magic begins. They have so much to choose from. Hibachi and Hot pot is also available. Fresh seafood and sushi. Yum! Hot foods were definitely kept at a great temperature. They have a dessert and fruit bar. You can make a slushy or have a cup of ice cream. There are so many options available at an affordable price.

    Great prices even a senior discount

    This is the best buffet I have been to in Houston. I am not sure how long they have been open but I hope they can sustain their good service and quality of food. They have a good balance of hot and cold and plenty of seafood and sushi

    Came back to Pancho's Mexican Buffet recently and honestly it felt like stepping straight into…read morechildhood. Let's be clear right away. This is Tex Mex. I'm not going to sit here and tell you this is the most authentic Mexican food you'll ever have. It's definitely Americanized. But you know what? The food is actually really good. We ended up coming here partly because it was a childhood staple for us and partly because a TikToker @Ugh_Madison, spent an entire day here in one of her videos and it reminded us how much we used to love this place. The line was almost out the door when we got there but somehow we barely waited. The staff moved everyone through quickly and the whole place ran like a well oiled machine. The restaurant was clean, the service was amazing, and food kept coming out fast. Flavor wise everything was very savory and satisfying. My absolute favorite thing was the chicharrón. It was honestly delicious and tasted the most authentic out of everything we tried. Our other favorites were the white chicken enchiladas, the tamales, and of course the sopapillas. The price is honestly great for how much food you get and they also have a surprisingly good non alcoholic drink selection. Overall it was such a fun nostalgic experience and the food still holds up. I'll definitely be back and next time I'll be ready to raise that flag again!!!! Gracias a Pancho's !!!!

The first…read moretime I visited I planned it to the T and when I visited their bar was not operational any longer, and that was apart of my planning. So I left. The second time I visited, I had the Hong Shao Rou with mushrooms (Braised Pork Belly) to-go, not a huge fan of takeout and this didn't disappoint and it was good. The takeout team member was pleasant enough. They feature an open kitchen with two tops closer to the wall/glass and larger tables more toward the middle of the restaurant. From the outside it features the traditional Chinese architecture with western building base. I look forward to yaksying the rest of the menu this year.

But the inconsistency has been an issue for me, and the flavors aren't as good as they once were. Dishes I regularly ordered like Kung Pao Chicken, Mongolian Beef, Japanese Egg Tofu, and Honey Walnut Shrimp haven't stood out as much as of lately. Dishes like Szechuan Spicy Chicken is still one of my favorite, and Garlic Snow Pea Leaves are delicious when in season. Bamboo House still holds its place as great spot for group dining. The portion is generous, prices are fair, and overall a solid restaurant that's still worth recommending.
