    2 fully stocked buffet lines.

    Fantastic little all you can eat buffet. They have all you can eat sushi, American items, crab rolls, crab Rangoon, steamed dumplings, fried dumplings, ice cream everything you could possibly imagine at this all you can eat buffet. Incredible service your cup will never go empty and plates never stay on your table. hostess is very personable, and you are seated immediately upon walking in. All chefs I came in contact with were incredibly personable as well. Absolutely amazing, coconut macaroons as if there wasn't enough food for you to get stuffed with already. it is a very quaint and cozy restaurant. The size is very misleading and goes on for quite a ways inside. plenty a 6 foot distancing for anyone who may be immune compromised.

    This was our first visit since Covid. While the restaurant was pretty empty the food options on the buffet were good. Unfortunately there wasn't enough people emptying the food bins to keep the hot fresh food coming. But I give them an "A" for effort for sure!! What we did eat tasted good just would have been better if it was hot. The service here is just as good as it always has been. They do great. I do hope COVID doesn't do them in!

I ended up getting a bento tray and Mongolian beef. Everything was realy good and every feeling. Great Asian cuisine for a cheat day and overall quality of the food was very good. The only issue I had was the table size if you are a party of 4 or more.

Babies crying, people jumbled everywhere, and a buffet setup that was super packed together near everything else. The good: host sat me quickly and my server was polite and super quick. I guess they got this down to a science? The bad: everything else. How the heck are these reviews high? This place was packed but I felt like if I coughed, it would be all over my neighbor and the food. It was a cluster f. I did the buffet. While they had a lot of options, it was jam packed together. And you bumped into people trying to squeeze through some areas. The sushi was mediocre. The sweet and sour chicken was off. The fried rice wasn't warm. Even my tap water tasted funny. I couldn't finish my hot sake because it tasted off. The wasabi and ginger even looked funky (I will say the wasabi had a nice kick). Best part of my meal was leaving. The miso soup was the only decent part. I should have learned my lesson from previous Asian fusion places but I guess I trusted the reviews on this one. It's clear to me; a lot of people don't have an educated palate.

    This huge place has an almost overwhelming variety of choices, all of them mediocre. I've been here…read moretwice but have decided that I won't be back for another try. We were seated promptly on both visits, and the wait staff are very pleasant and helpful. I'm a big fan of most types of Asian food, but I didn't find anything here that was outstanding. Some of the dishes were very cold, as if they had been made in advance, refrigerated, and then reheated for the serving line. I can understand why they would do this, given the huge number of dishes on offer. Still, $42 for 2 people (including soft drink and a tip) seems a bit much for what you get.

However, with restaurant prices rising the way they have been, I'm not mad at Chow Time at all. I appreciated during the first months of re-opening after COVID, gloves and masks were provided (and strictly encouraged). From hibachi to sushi to seafood to hot food to dessert, I don't think you could leave Chow Time hungry. And you're also not going to break the bank and feel like you're not eating your money's worth like you would at a more "luxurious" buffet. While prices have risen over time, I do think it's still remained affordable in a time where eating out has been outrageously overpriced. Definitely great for big groups and picky eaters - Chow Time! Nothing fancy, nothing mind blowing but definitely hits the spot.
