General buffey
Claudia C.

I'm totally impressed! Just loved it! You enter, and there is a mini pagoda with a board of prices and specials, seated very quickly. We were lucky to be there on the lunchtime buffet. At a certain time, they bring out dinner dishes and label them "dinner only", it works. Mon and Tuesday they give Sr discounts, otherwise, no discounts. It is a typical Chinese/American buffet with very good food, fresh and hot. Loads of steam billowing out from around the pans of food. This is a good visual sign the food is as it should be. Huge selection, but what stole the show for me was the Stir Fried Potatoes, not very Chinese, you know, crispy and flavorful and tender on the inside. I could not leave them alone, and neither could the other customers. They empty out fast.. 4 different soups are included...wonton, egg drop, beef, and something else. They have green onions chopped and crisps. I recommend the Wonton soup. We did not eat dinner, which included roast beef, fancier fish, and crabs (female, sm-med) without much seasoning. Other customers ordered hot tea, and it comes in a decor complementing pot. $1.50. I fell for it as a tea drinker. The pot sells you, very Asian looking, and it captured me. The tea was very weak, I was disappointed but not enough to effect the review. They do have an included Hibachi and sushi bar, many desserts, and ice cream cups in a chest freezer with clear sliding doors. My husband's favorite dessert was the cream puffs, drizzled with chocolate. You dont see them everyday.Service was great, with plenty of hussle and teamwork. OMG, of course we'll be back. Reasonable prices, free parking.

I had found this place to see what was around the area and on my way to the beach, we saw a billboard sign miles before we had arrived and knew I wanted to check this place out before we left the area. the variety of options were there; soups, chicken, salad bar, and even seafood. you definitely can get a good deal during lunch time, but not worth it after. the quality of food was low tier and felt like it was sitting out for a while. I enjoyed their coconut shrimp and chicken broccoli at most. however, this buffet did the job to satisfy my hunger.

Hibachi......supposedly!!!

The service was good but the food was bland, not pleasant to the eye and borderline nasty. Plus there was no yum yum sauce for the greasy hibachi.... Stay away!

Back in the corner!

Better than most Chinese buffets. The people are nicer, the food is pretty much the usual selection, but seems to be slightly tastier. They have the usual non-Chinese dishes, like fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and gravy, and pizza. What really shines here is the baked tilapia, the shrimp with the shell on, and the string beans, but my favorite is the hibachi grill, which is in the back of the restaurant. The advantage of the hibachi Grill is that you completely control what goes in your dish, and a nice worker grills it for you; And you can make it as healthy or unhealthy as you want because of that. The thing that the hibachi grill lacks that I couldn't find is a bowl of chopped garlic. (Edit- they've got it but you have to ask for it!) I like to put a fair amount of garlic into my hibachi grill... But I feel like I didn't go that far off my diet eating here today, partially because I stopped before I got a third plate, but mostly because I controlled what I ate here. And eating fish and string beans and chicken and onions and broccoli in the hibachi grill. Makes me feel pretty good about myself. I mentioned earlier how nice the interior is.. This place has been here for probably at least 10 years, and the interior looks almost like new. They keep it very clean and very nice, but when they built the restaurant, they put a little extra money into it, and it just looks great. It really does. Add to that effect of the staff is always nice and never let my drink get low, and it's just an impressive place. Better than you would expect.

The food had a good variety, but the quality was not great. It was just OK. The service was not good and in the past has even been worse.

Have a large selection of food. We went for lunch, but the dinner selection of food looked delicious. Good bang for your buck.

We finally tried the Borgata Buffet and honestly I do not understand some of the bad reviews…read more Yes it is a casino buffet so the price is higher at around 43 per person, but there are definitely ways to get it comped or discounted, and for the quality you are getting it actually feels worth it. The variety is great and everything we tried tasted fresh and well made. Nothing felt like it had been sitting too long and the staff was constantly maintaining the stations. The service really stood out. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and very attentive without being overbearing. The staff working the buffet line were also all really nice and genuinely seemed happy to be there which makes such a difference. Food wise there were a lot of standouts. The chargrilled steak had a really nice flavor and the prime rib was super tender and juicy. The pastas were cooked perfectly and the sauces were light, bright, and flavorful instead of heavy. The mac and cheese is an absolute must. They use big shell noodles with a creamy cheese sauce and toasted breadcrumbs on top which gives it great texture. The collard greens were surprisingly one of our favorite things and we went back for seconds. So much flavor. The spiced shrimp is a hidden gem and definitely something we grabbed multiple times. The pizza was also surprisingly good. We tried the mushroom and spinach and it honestly tasted like something you would get from a really solid pizza spot not a buffet. The only thing I would say is the chicken parm is hit or miss depending on how fresh it is. If it has been sitting it can get a little soggy so I would try to grab it when a fresh tray comes out. Pro tip leave room for dessert. The dessert section is incredible. The gelato was rich and creamy especially the chocolate. The croissant cinnamon roll hybrid was flaky on the outside with a soft gooey center and the cookies and cream cheesecake was rich without being too heavy. I also really liked how the seating is set up. You can sit on either side of the buffet and choose between booths or tables which makes it feel a little less chaotic. This is definitely a spot we will keep coming back to when we are at Borgata.

A pretty solid buffet considering there aren't many buffet options in the area!…read more Sushi - dry and tasted fake Seafood - all of their fishes were the highlight of the offerings! The carving station had a salmon larger than I've ever seen too. Also appreciate that they offer a spiced version of the cocktail shrimp. Meats - prime rib was very dry and overcooked but the grilled steak has really great taste Everything else is pretty standard for a buffet. Huge compliments on all of the sauces they offer to go along with your food (steak sauce, au jus, melted butter, etc.).

Went here based on a friend's recommendation. I don't know how they came up with this…read morerecommendation, but I won't be back, nor recommend it. I've been to several Japanese sushi and seafood buffets before and can say without a doubt, this was the worst. Sushi rolls were mediocre, like supermarket sushi rolls on discount day. I was expecting more. This was the only item that was passable. The Chinese side of it was terrible. Cold seafood, when it's supposed to be hot. Duck that was cold and bony/fat and should have been warm and better tasting. The spare ribs were dry, like hours on the line and everyone avoided it. Soups were bland, and warm. The hot and sour was the worst one I tasted in the last 30 years. No oysters. No crab legs. Desserts were pretty much all frozen and nondescript. I had the chocolate cupmice cream and it was ok. On a positive note, the service was good, as they cleaned off old plates, and refilled drinks when asked. So, bottom line. One star for the food.

This place is a solid 10/10 feels like a cruise buffet, but even better because they offer hotpot…read moretoo! It's a great spot to go with friends. I just found out it's part of a chain, so I'll definitely be checking out the other locations to see if they measure up. Very clean environment and fast service. I went there on a weekday and I sure they would put even more food on the weekends!
