    Seafood
    Laura L.

    Honestly, I'm very skeptical about buffets and the quality of food, but this is the first buffet I thoroughly enjoy and all the variety of foods they have to offer. This place is a bit far from central Houston and central north Houston, but it's such a great gem! It gets quite busy but they have a number system where you walk in, check in and get a number, and then you get called. It gets pretty busy but the line goes by fast. Parking is also a bit of a hassle as the lot is very small for the amount of people which is a downside. The Chinese food they have is so so, but the seafood is where it's at. Their crab legs are always so fresh and sweet, and rarely salty. We also love their crawfish as it's full of flavor, fresh, and always piping hot. Their sushi selection is decent and also pretty good quality for buffet sushi. The seafood reminds me of Las Vegas buffet quality. Dessert selection is ok. I just go for the ice cream and some fruit and that's pretty much it. Inside it does get pretty hectic and everything is fast paced, but that's good if you want to eat the most you can in such little time! The servers are always attentive and take away empty plates, refill drinks, and are happy to assist with anything you need. All in all, this is a great bang for your buck if you want a good variety of food with amazingly fresh seafood.

    My oh my, I think I have found my favorite Chinese buffet in the Houston area! My expectations are usually low when it comes to Chinese buffets, but I had heard good things about this place, and after learning that they have snow crab legs, I knew I had to visit! We arrived for dinner on a Sunday evening and were lucky enough to get a spot in the small parking lot. I found it interesting that they offer valet, but I guess due to the size of the small shopping complex, it makes sense that vehicle were being parked in the grass. My primary target of the visit was the seafood! On the top of that list was the snow crabs, crawfish, and sashimi! They also carry fresh raw oysters and boiled shrimp, but I did not try those items. The snow crab legs were ransacked frequently but also refilled frequently, which was nice. The legs weren't dry or overly salted, and a liquid butter dispenser was nearby! It was the same with the crawfish... which tasted very fresh and not frozen. They were also seasoned very well and succulent, not the grey overcooked dried out crawfish you usually find at buffets. The fried whole shrimp was cooked perfectly and tasted fresh. The mixed sashimi was kinda crammed into one small bowl, but the pieces displayed are nice and fresh. I saw that they offered salmon belly nigiri! As for the cooked prepared American Chinese meats, they were actually good! At most Chinese buffets, these dishes are very one note and bland, but here they had a lot of flavor and were cooked well! The most surpassing was the hibachi grill which usually is tasteless and meh at most places. Here it was shockingly delicious! The only real let down was the dessert, which is the standard at a Chinese buffet. The prepackaged mousse cups were not good. The mediocre cheesecake was still frozen in the middle, and the fruit was less than ideal. I didn't even bother trying the ice cream, as it's the cheap kind in the plastic cups. No thank you! The jello wasn't that bad and came in unique flavors. The slushies were actually kinda tasty! So go ahead and visit you're in the area and want to be a total glutton.

    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!
