Weekends are dinner rates, but still worth it. I came twice in one week, once for weekday dinner and once for weekend lunch. The weekday dinner had lobsters and the weekend lunch had crayfish. We enjoyed all the food and the waitstaff was very attentive, they made quick rounds to collect plates and refill sodas. There is a lot of variety in the selections and they're all pretty tasty. Their sushi was good, we really it. The only thing I did not like was the wasabi, it looked neon green, the color of slimer from ghostbusters... it was looking too artificial. Their dessert/fruit table also has a wide selection and we had no issues whatsoever. The ice cream machine was kind of slow, I saw a lot of people had difficulty with the chocolate side of the machine. This is a great option to have out in the Poconos. We will alway return. read more

East Gourmet Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Bartonsville, Pennsylvania

It's a pretty typical Chinese buffet, and nothing really stood out as worth the higher price on Sundays. It did take a while for us to get our soft drinks, but they were pretty crowded. There is a nice fountain in front for ambiance. Some of the food was mislabeled or had no signage. There was some sushi which was fine, but no hibachi option. It was nice to have fruit options with dessert. There was a variety of meats, noodles, and soups. There wasn't a ton of variety, but it'll do the trick. Neither of us felt great after, but I can't tell if it's the quantity or quantity. The prices are a little cheaper during the week and during lunch where there is one flat rate on Sunday, so if you're going on one of those days, it may feel like better bang for your buck. read more

Holy moly. If there was a way to give this 0 stars I would. SAVE YOUR TIME, MONEY, AND HEALTH. Quite literally everything was horrible From the main dishes to the dessert to the service. I literally would recommend going anywhere else! The chicken is old, it's gummy, the flavor is so bad The rice was ok, it had flavor but it was disgusting. The only good things were the chicken nuggets that are like Walmart frozen nuggets. The dessert is so old and so disgusting. The cake looks so yummy, and when you bite into it, it's like cardboard. The ambiance is definitely giving we haven't updated this place since 2000 but hey. Go down to that red lobster or maybe even a chick fil a cuz this isn't worth your time or money! read more

They had a pretty wide selection! (+) they have a wide variety of food, so you're bound to find something you like. I absolutely loved their cheesecake, even though I'm not a desert person.

Visited on a thanksgiving weekend dinner. Besides roasted beef, they actually serve a whole turkey. Price went up $1 compared to 8 months ago. May be because of less crowded, sushi selection was more. Food quality was ok like before. Still a better Chinese food option for the area. Always like the soft serve icecream there. read more

Food selection is great and very tasty. Seating is usually quick and severs are mostly polite and attentive. Ambiance is okay and needing a facelift but it's all about the FOOD. Food is always fresh and well stocked (rarely an empty tray). We always stop in on the way down to Queens and on the return to upstate. read more

A buffet restaurant offering a wide assortment of popular Chinese, Japanese and Sushi dishes, and an area for desserts with variety of fresh fruits, puddings, hello, cookies, ice cream and ect.. Service is on par, right when you get seated, your asked what you would like to drink, and off you go, for the all you can eat buffet, with so many options , and when your done with your plate, the servers are there to take the dirty plates away so you can start with a clean plate. My daughter lives there sushi, as I like there pepper steak, chicken and broccoli and lomein. Soups are really good as well. They even have finger foods for the little ones, like chicken fingers, French fries, pizza. So many options. They have a nice selection for seating. When you walk in they have a gigantic fish tank with beautiful fish. You never leave hungry, which is a good sign. read more

We were greeted by a rude woman who never asked us for our drink order when we commmitted the unthinkable crime of asking for a booth. The food we had was not freshly made and made us sick. The fish was rubbery, the pepper steak tasted like chicken, the temperatures were not maintained and the food was seldom changed. The sushi area had mislabeled food that almost caused me to eat crab even when put as Philadelphia roll. My wife liked the lo mein because it was not as bad as the best of the food. The egg roll was hard as a rock. read more

Pleasantly surprised. Nice decor, good location, clean, good variety of food, tasty sushi, friendly staff

All the food at the East gourmet was very good. Food was hot. It was flavorful and the price was excellent with the senior discount. Only thing that could be improved is if the peel and eat shrimp was like the hibachi grill in Bethlehem. In Bethlehem, the peel and eat shrimp are bigger And they are put out with the shells taken off and deveined. read more

Saw the signs when driving on the highway and decided to stop by to give it a try. For the price I think it is a pretty good deal. This place was very busy. Although the buffet station looked a little small they still have a lot of selection of food. There is still a good selection of meats and veggies. They have pizza and dim sum as well. Sushi isn't the best here so I would skip it next time. I was full from the hot food so I didn't try the dessert but I didn't try the ice cream and it was pretty good. read more

Variety of food very clean and friendly tina is very sweet my husband and I have been there many times

Clean establishment and wide selection of food. Taste is sort of watered down on many of the chicken dishes which is why I took a star away read more

We went in because their sign said all you could eat crab legs. When we went in to eat the buffet I asked when they put the crab legs she told me that they don't have them at all. Also it was very pricey to not have hibachi or crab legs (even though they didn't advertise hibachi) read more

LOCAL REVIEW: I have been coming to this buffet restaurant for over 15 years. It is consistently delicious. Service is friendly and quick. And the value cannot be beat! I read the other reviews and I'm very confused because I don't know what restaurant these people went to, but the one I went to was lovely, there was no gratuity added to my check, and the food was hot or cold, depending on which bar you went to. See the check for proof. Selection was excellent with 3 hot bars, 1 cold bar, and a sushi bar. Please check it out, it's a solid Asian Buffet. Enjoy! read more

Amazing food !! Always fresh and always delicious!!! And the staff is always so nice and friendly..

The East Gourmet Buffet checks all the boxes for what you need for your Chinese/Japanese buffet. They got a great array of sushi and sashimi and put out some eel sauce if you need extra. They got a great amount of different types of chicken like bourbon, walnut, Tokyo, General Taos, Orange, Sweet n Sour, chicken and broccoli. The lo mein noodles are on point. They got some good options for the picky eaters like pizza fries and Mac n cheese. The rib eye looks like a nice hunk of beef but it's over cooked and dry unfortunately. But as a whole this buffet hits all the right spots! I would gladly come back a lot if I lived in the area. read more

Great price and food is always fresh. Fast service they seat you quickly and take your order right away. They have a large variety of different food to choose from. Don't forget to make sure you leave room for dessert . nice ambiance and clean place. read more

Food wasn't bad. Not cold and buffet refreshed before trays got empty. Great selection. Unfortunately it was very loud and quiet at 5pm on a Saturday. Waitress kept our drinks full. Plates never accumulated. Aside from noise all else was good. read more

I've been to many Chinese/Asian buffets before and I have to say this is one of my favorites! There was a decent selection of food of which was delicious. Another plus was the large selection of sushi. The dessert selection was pretty decent too, comparable to most Asian-type buffets. The service was great, the hostess and the waitress were very friendly. Also, the service was pretty quick despite the restaurant being nearly full. Overall, a great buffet with great options. I went around 4 o'clock and it was relatively busy, so I would recommend to plan accordingly. read more

This is a cross between good old Chinese take out and authentic Chinese restaurant food. I have to say the chicken and broccoli and hot and sour soup are delicious! Their prices are very affordable for the quality of food there. They also offer to go which cost by pounds. Try going there for lunch or weekday dinner. It's less crowded and their prices are lower. The service is good. The restaurant is big and their decoration is typical of a Chinese take out with old chairs and a few diner like booths. Go here if you are looking for cheap, good quality and nice service. There's something for everybody here. read more

I was delighted to come across this place that offers buffet and in door dining. They are strict with their CDC compliance. The lady in front welcomed you in and started with a nice scented hand sanitizer spray. Then, she offers you gloves so that when you get food at the buffet section you will have to comply with three rules: 1) face mask worn properly 2) gloves when handling food 3) 6 ft apart around the buffet. Food taste was amazing and the price is beyond fair. Monday thru Thursday lunch is $9.39 per a person and $13.99 for dinner. There's a sushi section, soft serve ice cream, soup dim sum and noodles and fried rice area, hot Food, salad bar and dessert. read more

We found a fly larva in the chicken and broccoli. There are constantly flies in the restaurant. The service and food is decent but none of that matters if the place is a legitimate health risk. After visiting regularly for 5 years I now no longer intend to return. read more

Good food at a buffet? And I mean good, not just good enough to gorge on and hit the road, but actually good? Yep, this is the place. We've been twice and it beats out any buffet back home in MN and according to other reviews, it beats out any in the area over a decent radius. Everything we had was quality and not like it's been sitting out. Fast and friendly service with good food and lots of variety. Why not eat there? read more

It's what you would expect and possibly a bit more from a $20 AYCE Asian buffet. Place was clean, staff was friendly, but the food was average. They did have a good selection,... for the price. read more

Too much salt in everything, there is no reason to salt ANYTHING. Even the rice had too much salt, WHO SALTS RICE?

If you like seafood this buffet is not the one. They only had crawfish, Cajun flounder fillet and mussels at best. While they tasted great, the selection was slim. There's no hibachi, and only 3 buffet steam tables, 1 cold table plus sushi bar. Dinner is considered cheap for being only 10 minutes away from The Great Wolf Lodge Water park ($17 adults, $10 for 6+ and $6 for under 5) Service was not so good, waitresses will give side eye if asking for more napkins, and gratuity is automatically added into the bill with party of 6 based on my experience read more

AMAZING FOOD. AMAZING SERVICE. GREAT AMBIANCE. It was busy as usual. And the food was fresh and tasty. The ice cream is amazing. The staff is friendly and fast to take your old plate and refill your drink. One thing I would change; they stare at you and try to rush you out and force you to pay the bill when you aren't even done eating yet. Other than that, it's my go to place and will continue to go there. read more

The food was great the service also was lightning fast. At the entrance there was an aquarium with turtles and tropical fish.

In town for some skiing and decided to come here since it was close to where we were staying. As expected, busy on a Saturday but wait for table wasn't too bad. Hostess made sure to keep us updated on when our table would be ready. Good variety of food including salmon, clams, cocktail shrimp and lobster which was constantly being refilled. Surprised there was this much seafood at $18.99 per person. Service was good as waiters made sure to empty our tables of dishes we were finished with and stocked us well with napkins. Did not feel rushed to finish our meal like at other buffet places. They even gave us fortune cookies with our bill (even though we already had too many helpings from the dessert table and soft serve machine). Is it the best buffet ever? No, but pretty good for what you're paying. Overall a pleasant experience. Would come back again when we are in the neighborhood next. read more

East Gourmet Buffet - A little bit of everything - Buffets Near Me - Bartonsville, Pennsylvania

I've been to this place pre-covid and it was good, but my last visit was unacceptable; the manager was apparently either asleep or absent, and the staff weren't earning their pay. Waitresses were just standing in a cluster gossiping (always a bad sign at a buffet), so dirty plates weren't being cleared unless you individually asked them to. And the guy who was SUPPOSED to be making sushi was just sitting on a stool behind the counter playing with his smartphone, while the trays sat mostly empty. read more

Love the tasty food! It's a bit expensive but you get quality food with generous portions! It's our go to for Chinese food in the Poconos!

The food must have been sitting out very long, it was so cold I could barely bring myself to eat it. The chicken was hard as a rock we waited ten minutes for or drinks. The only reason I'm not giving it one star is the donuts and ice cream. read more
