Went twice. First time was like 10 minute wait. Second time was closer to an hour so business is good. A bit pricey for me for a buffet because 3 of us was about 100$ before tip. Food was fresh both times. The service was ok when trying to get refills and the plates cleared. I don't eat sushi so I can't offer any advice. There are still signs of the previous restaurant which I'm guessing was seafood based on decorations. Nothing was particularly bad, but I felt it didn't warrant a 5 star.

I'm not the biggest fan of buffets now that I'm a bit older and do not have an iron stomach anymore. However, having a buffet open in Littleton is fairly exciting so we decided to give it a try. Everyone working is really friendly and our plates were cleaned up in a timely manner. The prices are reasonable also. $21pp for a weekday dinner is quite the steal in this economy. We tried a bit of everything, but what stood out was the Monglian grill. The sauces are very concentrated though, so definitely only use half to 1 scoop of sauce for your bowl, it is very salty. The fried chicken was delicious and highly recommend grabbing some of those. The coconut shrimp was tender and sweet. The salmon was also cooked and seasoned well. Skip the crab and the sushi was not the best and definitely not the star of the buffet. They also have an ice cream station with soft serve along with packaged ice cream. These were nice to have, but nothing memorable. We arrived around 5:30 and there were plenty of tables, but by the time it was 6:30 it was packed. We were seated in a booth and we also needed a high chair and it was abnormally tall to meet the height of the table. However, my son couldn't even reach the table because it was too far and it was very inconvenient. I'd recommend getting a non booth with a normal high chair if it's available. The biggest tables could fit about 6 people. Otherwise, it is a family friendly buffet. I honestly can't complain for the price.

For the price and the selection not bad. There's not many places like this left so if you want to get your buffet fix and to try a selection of items then why not. For $21 dinner price you can't beat all the options you have. There's also desserts, ice cream, pizza for your picky eaters, seafood options and Mongolian grill options where you can create your own stir fry. Come hungry and try some good food. They literally just opened a couple days ago so yes it can get busy but I feel like they were moving the tables pretty quick even at 6:30pm on a Friday night. The place was really clean and I enjoyed the vibes. Below are a few photos that I took of the items I tried. The banana pudding was also very good. They a little of everything if you want or stick to one thing, whatever you prefer.

City buffet is your standard Chinese and sushi buffet with a Mongolian grill as well. I've been excited to try it since it opened a few months ago, as it's now the closest all you can eat Chinese place to my house. The sushi was better than most buffet sushi. The meats we tried were not dry, the Thai chicken was so incredibly garlicky it was all I could taste for a while. The Mongolian line moved quickly. The staff were very friendly from the start, and I like how there's plenty of booth seating. Before tip, it was $54 for two, so a little more expensive than some buffets but pretty average.

I have been waiting for this restaurant to open for nearly a year and I'm thrilled it's finally open. They are calling it a "soft opening" but it's open and running. I grabbed my wife and her new girlfriend and headed over. We were all impressed from the second we walked in until we walked out. The decor is eye catching and beautiful. Everything is new, clean and shiny. The staff were all exceptionally pleasant, polite, helpful and efficient. The food choices lean more towards Asian type cuisine but they have plenty of basics of Americans type foods. I enjoyed their soft serve ice cream bar as well. Parking was simple and there plenty of it. It's in a really nice area of town with Marston Lake right behind it. This place is a hit and all three of us really enjoyed ourselves. The big plus? Very LGBT friendly. I highly recommend this new buffet.

Arrived at 5pm on a Sunday thinking I'd beat the crowds, but was surprised to see a crowd already! Waited for 20 min for our table, not bad for a new highly anticipated soft opening for a buffet. I did enjoy the food variety and Mongolian grill. Sushi- I thought was better than most other similar places in the Denver metro area. Restaurant is clean, I loved the hand washing station out in the open (don't need to go into the bathroom), the soft serve was fun as well. Will definitely come back!

Discovered this new Asian buffet in Littleton to meet up with a friend. The place is decent sized. We got there right about 5 pm on a Wednesday night before the dinner rush. Place was clean and servers every where. We were seated immediately. One thing I liked about this buffet is that they have sinks to just wash your hands outside of the restrooms, which I like a lot. Any buffets you go to is just a casual ambiance, nothing fancy. Food I would say is decent. Don't expect fine dining when coming to a buffet. The best thing I enjoyed there was the green beans, battered fried shrimp, Chinese donut, Thai chicken, and the little ice cream cups. You can't really go wrong with food choices here. Price was definitely reasonable. Overall experience was good.

They offer a great selection of dishes including sushi, seafood and meat. Quick service by the staff to keep our table clean. The seafood is fresh and their beef dishes are delicious.

Ok buffet. Not the best and definitely fairly lacking in variety and quality. Golden Corral has…read moremore entrée and side options. Buffet, 2 stars. Service 4 stars= 3 over all. I went on a fairly busy Saturday night, hoping that would lead to a hot, fresh, well replenished experience. It didn't really result in that, sadly. Customer service was pleasant. The chefs were friendly and helpful and our server was great. I thought the iced tea and coffee were both delicious. Taco meat was quite tasty and I appreciated the cookies on the dessert bar were held at a warm temperature. Some things weren't refilled ever during our leisurely visit of 1 1/2 hours: Certain desserts, sides, salsas and accoutrements like chips at the Mexican bar. Each station seemed pretty lacking on variety. Some offerings were kind of lukewarm, like the fried shrimp and mashed potatoes. Would I return? Definitely not during a peak priced meal time. Maybe during lunch or something while visiting the casino. I love variety so I love buffets, even though quality does often lack. However, if you have visited buffets off and on, you learn that some have fresher, hotter, well stocked offerings and others don't. This one wasn't terrible but was pretty meh and disappointing over all. Also a note to this buffet's management. Wynn's buffet in Las Vegas is only $39.99 for a Saturday night. Yours was 34.99. Wynn also didn't have the widest variety but had quite a bit more than yours as well as fresher and gourmet offerings for just $5 more. I feel strongly that you could do better for this price point and I'm rooting for improvements!

Bad food and worse service. Basically paid $100 for a plate of crab legs and a salad. Waited over…read morean hour for prom rib that would be ready in 5 minutes--about 10 times.

As buffets go, nowadays, this is definitely one of the better options. I've read a lot of comments…read moreabout the food being bad, moldy, or tasteless, and that was not our experience at all. The service was fast for removing our plates, and in some cases, maybe even a little too fast! The food is refilled quickly, and the fresher options are out there. It is true you only get one serving of crab and lobster but that is unfortunately just the way things are now with buffets. It is not unique to a specific buffet. When we come back to Blackhawk in one buffet, this is the one we will be going to.

The Buffet at the Monarch Casino is awesome! From the service to the food to the atmosphere, they…read moregot it all down! The price is a bit steep at ~$60/person for dinner on the weekends, but the quality and variety of food is decent for the price. First off, the queen of the buffet, or any buffet in my opinion, are the lobster tail and snow crab. When you pay, 2 redemption coupons are handed per person; one for a lobster tail and one for 2 snow crab clusters. Although this may seem like it is not much, it really is plenty of food unless the plan is to only eat lobster and snow crab (please refer to attached picture). The pho station is ok and the prime rib was very salty, but other than those two, everything else tasted great. Service is top notch. Our server checked in on us and cleaned up our discarded lobster/crab remains very quickly and frequently. Make sure to tip your servers even at buffets!
