I've stopped by Clifton Buffet a handful of times throughout the last few years and they've remained consistent throughout the years. Expect a good range of food (mostly Chinese) at a decent price. For a buffet, I find the food to be pretty good and they seem to be pretty efficient at making sure to re-fill empty dishes quickly. Customers love coming for their crab-legs so that can be hard to get sometimes since they're gone within 2 minutes of being put out. On Sunday, the price is $18 pp (as of January 2020) but lunch during the week is about $11-12 which is a good price. Overall, this remains a pretty good buffet in the area and I'll keep coming back.

Chinese cuisine has been a staple of American culture for decades. From the days of chop suey to…read morethe rise of contemporary Chinese-American dishes, the Chinese food we know and love today has evolved in fascinating ways. One of the most popular dining experiences is the Chinese buffet. Referred to as the "Chinese smörgåsbord," believe it or not, it first emerged in the 1950s before exploding in the late 1980s and early 1990s. This American tradition offers diners a variety of delicious dishes adapted to suit American tastes and may differ significantly from authentic Chinese cuisine in an all-you-can-eat setting. Located on Market Street, Dynasty Buffet is the closest to our home, and my partner and I paid them a return visit after 3 years tonight. Upon entering inside their high ceilings, with big windows and nice lighting, we were greeted by the host. The cost begins at $33.99 per person for a weekend dinner. We were led to a booth by the window. The establishment continues to have a large selection of a mixed variety of Asian and other ethnic food, plus a salad, a carving station, and a dessert bar. The staff puts out smaller portions and refills frequently so everything tastes fresh. Although American Chinese buffets offer a wide variety of dishes, many of the more authentic and region-specific dishes from China are not typically found on their menus. The food was tasty, the staff would check on us frequently, and the service was amicable. Ultimately, the buffet serves as a delicious reminder of the ways in which cultures can blend and evolve over time while still preserving their unique flavors and techniques.

Brazilian Buffet - Feijoada. Very tasty.

Nice Brazilian restaurant with tasty food, fair price, and no frills. This is a typical…read moreself-service buffet type of restaurant which is very common in Brazilian communities in Newark-NJ, Astoria-NY and many other locations. You make your plate, weigh and pay about $10 per pound. My feijoada plate from the attached picture had a little less than a pound so I paid around $9 which is a great deal especially if you compare to other restaurants in the area. The restaurant is somewhat small, simple, but there are enough tables for everyone even during lunch hours. Staff is friendly, they give you privacy to pick your food without anyone bothering you, food is tasty and the variety is ok. I wish they had Brazilian barbecue similar to other restaurants in the area but I can't really complain because the food and price were great. Compared to other Brazilian restaurants in the area this place has a big advantage because the process is very simple. Other restaurants such as Casa Nova, Cantinho Mineiro, Delícia de Minas also offer a buffet option but their process is very complicated. They have a prix fixe option for a set price and then if you add meat it's a different price, if you want to take something to go you need to pick a prix fixe container for a different price. It's just too confusing and I don't really like that, hence my preference for this Brazilian buffet restaurant. Don't expect any luxury or lots of variety. This is a practical restaurant offering food for a fair price. I definitely recommend it. Note that there's just street parking and the Wilson Ave area tends to be busy so keep that in mind.

Let me tell you the…read morewhys. -First reason is that I'm extra biased because it's super close to me. -There is plenty of parking! That is very important to me. -There is a lot of room to walk around as you pick your ingredients for your hotpot. Some places are so tight that it's hard to take your time picking ingredients or simply getting them. -Since they are spacious, they have 2 separate sections for sauces. -They have shaved ice, which I like to top off with ice cream and toppings. So good, especially after eating hot soup! -Their hot food section is pretty good. I love their japchae (stir fried noodles). -I like that they have the button you press to ask for a server's help. -It has a lot of seating and again a good amount of space between you and the other tables (depending on where you sit). -I learned recently that if you have a nice waiter and you really want a little bit of the mala soup, they can give you a small bowl of it so you could have some without having to commit to that for the whole meal. -I like to go on the weekdays when it's not as packed. But if you are there closer to their closing time, they do rush you a bit or will literally kick you out if you linger. Before you go: -If you're going with a big group, make sure to make reservations. -During the weekend, the wait can be long if you go without a reservation. What's nice is that there is Hmart and Daiso next door, so you could take a walk there while you wait for your table. -They usually won't seat you until your whole party is present. -Their menu has cash prices and card prices.
