Went to try this place for lunch. Not busy on a weekday. There are several food counters with different yummy food, ready to choose what you want. Hoping they make their calamari softer, it's hard to chew it. Serving Staff are friendly and nice to customers. Well lighted and decorated clean buffet restaurant in the area. Lots of parking. read more

Eat Well Modern Buffet - Plate dessert - Buffets Near Me - North Plainfield, New Jersey

First time here, and here's how it went: Service: Hands down, the service was excellent. Staff were attentive, constantly checking in, refilling drinks, and clearing plates. The restaurant wasn't at full capacity, but the attention to detail was still impressive. Our waitress was a sweetheart and made the experience more pleasant. Selection: There were plenty of options--not the largest buffet I've seen, but enough variety to satisfy most diners. That said, a few items didn't look appealing. The mac and cheese was dried out, and the snow crab legs looked like scraps--also dry and uninviting. For a Friday at 5 PM, right before the dinner rush, everything should've been fresh and fully stocked. This didn't feel like a "10 minutes before closing" situation. Food Quality: Some items tasted fine, but nothing really stood out. The few snow crab legs I managed to get tasted oddly like an egg omelet--not what you want from crab. The garlic lobster was a major letdown: no flavor and unusually dark meat in the claw, which didn't sit right with me. I stopped eating it out of caution. Sushi with avocado had visibly darkened avocado, suggesting it had been sitting out too long. Sushi rice was typical for buffets--dry from being on a cold table. On the bright side, the chicken wings, salad bar, cold shrimp, and dessert table were all good. I didn't try the cook-to-order station, but it looked promising. Overall, you'll need to pick your items carefully. Cleanliness (Buffet Area): Very clean--no complaints there. Overall: 3 out of 5 stars. Hit or miss on the food, but service was top-notch. For $25 (full price), I expected better quality snow crab legs and lobster claws. At the weekday special rate of $18, it might feel more worth it. I understand it's a buffet, but ingredient quality and freshness still matter. I wouldn't accuse the place of using bad seafood--but as someone familiar with good-quality seafood, I'd advise caution. Final verdict: One and done for me. read more

This is a pretty good buffet. They have everything. The sushi selections were decent. We ordered at the hibachi grill shrimp, chicken, and beef noodles. The noodles were soft and tender and the meat were cooked perfectly. The assortments of food were mostly what you would find at a Chinese buffet. The key selections are oysters, lobster, sushi, king crab legs, crabs, and frog legs. They even have a nice ice cream freezer box. Service was quick to clean up your plates. Overall I recommend this buffet Chinese restaurant. It is just to expensive at $25.99 for an all day rate. The desert assortments is big. They have fruits, jello, flan, ice cream, Chinese dounut, cakes, and cookies! I did not post any pictures. read more

The food was so absolutely old and dried out. Their food used to be so good. Not sure if this was just a one time thing but not sure we will be back. My husband used to love them read more

Decent buffet for the price, but like all buffets everything was salty making me very thirsty. Went for lunch on a Saturday. They had several types of ice cream and a selection of cakes for dessert. Bbq meat was soft and tasty. For lunch had salt and pepper crab legs (without the leg part and only top of the leg). Had a hibachi station and 4 types of soup. Sushi was a disappointment for me. They didn't have eel sushi and mostly all sushi was fake crab meat. They included cream cheese in the salmon sushi so I couldn't eat any. read more

Eat Well Modern Buffet - Buffets Near Me - North Plainfield, New Jersey

We went around 6 PM on a Tuesday night. Modern Buffet is very big and spacious and upon our arrival, we were quite excited. It is $20 for an adult for dinner. Sushi - typical buffet style rolls and a few sashimi. The freshness was just okay here KBBQ station - consists of shrimp skewers which has the shrimp shell and head on. They also had BBQ beef and what seemed to be perhaps galbi? Hibachi station - you pick out what you want in your hibachi plate and they make it for you. I was a bit irritated because my guy started before the person behind me and the person behind me got their plate way before me. I swear it felt like I waited for 15 mins just standing around They had other foods like Chilean seabass which was okay it was just getting cold. Seafood boil which was a bit dry and way too much potatoes. Their crawfish was good, typical. They had oysters and shrimp cocktails which were okay, not bad but not good either. Everything else was just mediocre like every other Chinese buffet. Nothing really stands out. AYCE buffets are usually a hit or a miss and I guess it was kind of a miss for us that night. It was a bit empty when we had arrived so the food wasn't as fresh as we would like it to be. I would say the restaurant is very clean soon as we stepped in, was seated and also the bathroom as well. read more

Eat Well Modern Buffet - a view of a restaurant - Buffets Near Me - North Plainfield, New Jersey

I was excited for this buffet because it looked really good online, but it just didn't hit the mark for me. It's not a bad buffet, but I think I had my expectations high and expected it to be above average. I did like that they had bbq meats, but the ribs were a bit dry as they sit there. I was mostly excited for the lobster, but it was sitting in water that made it look unappetizing. I tried it anyways bc lobster is lobster, and the flavor was bland. They did have some options that you don't normally see at other buffets, like longan, coconut shrimp, and a variety of ice cream treats. read more

Went on a Saturday for dinner Food - I didn't get all the food, but with all the food I ate I like. I was disappointed with the shrimps with shell on it and skewered squid as they were overcooked. Service - The staff were all friendly, welcoming, and gave very good service. Ambiance - we were there around 430-5pm so food trays were full of food, area was clean. I will definitely go back to eat there again. read more

Staff were attentive and friendly and ambiance was excellent , but the food sadly isn't.things are not labeled correctly. Meats were cold and the seafood had a fishy taste to it ( not fresh). Everything tasted subpar compared to other buffets in the area that are cheaper . read more

What an addition to the area. This buffet is located right off 22 in North plainfield right next to the IHOP. They are a pretty big location with lots of seating for almost any size party . The service is good they are pretty attentive with getting plates cleared away as you move onto the next dish . They have several hot bars, plenty of options for everyone from sushi , typical Chinese dishes , some American, Korean BBQ, and seafood and hibachi. So many things to choose from so you better come hungry . Prices may seem a bit high but with all the selections you have it's definitely worth it . read more

The food quality is fairly average, but its incredible value at the M-F lunch price (under $14). Theres a fairly large range of items ranging from Chinese to sushi to Hibachi stations to American options. Again don't expect great food, but its decent for the price. My favorite was the hibachi station, and I think next time I visit I will mainly eat from that. There isn't a huge desert section available, but they do have fruits and ice cream. Its a large restaurant and we didn't have trouble getting a table at lunch. It is right by a Costco. read more

Great little buffet with amazing prices and very fresh food. Friendly service as well. Lots of great high-quality options and I never feel gross after eating there like I do at lower quality buffets so I know their stuff isn't loaded with MSG. read more

The place is definitely nicely decorated and set up. Plenty of seating and the place is surprisingly not so noisy. It's probably because people are too busy enjoying the food. Now I'm not going to say that this place blows every other buffet out of the water, but they are good. The fried shrimp is delicious and melts in your mouth. Crab legs are not too salty like some places. The servers are very attentive but not intrusive. I should have gotten pics of the hibachi station, which is different as they do cook for you Hibachi style with a great options.. you can't go wrong for 25 bucks pp on a weekend. I'll be back!!! read more

The reviews don't do this place any justice! This was a great experience and the food was amazing. This place gives you options from sushi, Korean bbq, hibachi, seafood boils and a whole bunch of desert options. The service was great and the place is extremely well lit and the food areas are clean. My only Con would be the spacing and the cleanliness of the tables you have to eat on. Other than that no complaints! read more

M-Th lunch for an adult is $13.99! (02/24) Good food, polite service, varied selection, excellent lunch price, clean. Solid 4! Went for lunch on a weds and for the price, really great value. The selection of food at lunch time was good, including oysters and varied sushi lineup. Food was also very good for the price, I didn't feel anything was terribly overcooked and taste was good by Chinese buffet standards. Frozen desserts were individually packaged ice cream and ice cream bars. KBBQ isn't the kind you grill at the table, they had some marinaded meat at the hibachi station that they would cook for you. If you came for a kbbq experience, it isn't that kind of place. read more

Recently visited this restaurant (buffet) And I can honestly say this is why I do not do buffet. Food was awful . It's my opinion. They have plenty of options to choose from . It truly held up to buffet food taste I not above going to buffets because good food is good food. I just have not been to one in recent years. If anyone have recommendations Please share 5 stars for the sweet tea it's made in house read more

Lovedddddd this buffet. Honestly, the buffet industry is dying so when I find one- especially one that's either brand new or has great reviews, I jump on the opportunity to give it a try. This place is clean, has tons of options, and even more space. I loved that they have a Korean bbq section, that was a super nice touch because most Chinese buffets have additional Hibachi grills but not Korean bbq. Overall the food was really great. There were stand out dishes like the scallion lobster and chicken and broccoli but then rubbery not-so-good meets like the Korean bbq beef. I really hope they keep up the establishment because I would love to come back and enjoy again. read more

Food was not fresh at all. You can tell it's been sitting out for a long time. Cook at the hibachi overcooked my noodles to a crisp and the shrimp was hard and rubbery. There is not a lot of variety when it comes to food. read more

Grand opening Buffet we wanted to try. For a Buffett it was ok. Selection ok food just ok. Was clean and quick. I probably won't return. If you looking for the best buffet. I would drive to DJ's buffet in Long Island. They have set the bar extremely high. Well worth the read more

Thank god for the Hibachi and the man grilling fresh shrimp and beef for you. If it weren't for the Hibachi, I wouldn't be able to eat. My mom and I were disappointed with the food. It's not Chinese food. It's American food. You won't get good lo mein here. The selection is slim. Just one kind of dumpling. One kind of steamed bun. The steamed fish is not Chinese steamed fish. For one, it's too big. It's not steamed flounder. I did not eat well. read more

For a buffet restaurant, I think it's doing pretty well! A lot varieties and food are fresh and tasty! Staff are friendly as well and they are very quick to get tables cleaned, so that we can go for another round! The place is pretty large so you could imagine the crowd when it gets busy! But I feel they managed well! Great place! read more

Food was cold, Chinese ribs were nothing more then ribs with BBQ sauce on them. Service was very good. However bathroom was filthy.

Great foid and ppi and environment is very good. They stuff for everyone as well and good grill stuff

It was okay. Went on thanksgiving. Turkey was okay. Kinda dry. Korean bbq was ok. Spicy hotdogs lol. Sashimi was fresh. read more

We went there twice. It has decent food and an accepted price (maybe a little bit higher than other buffets. but the food quality is a little bit higher). Close to Costco. Clean with good services. It is a convenient place after grocery shopping from Costco. update: I visited this place again. Love it more. I have to mention there are three special cold Chinese-style dishes : Beef louver, chicken claw, and salted duck. I haven't seen those kind of dishes in other buffets before. When I visited this place at the first time, the Chicken claw is too sweety and salted duck is too salty (sorry, do not laugh if you read this. Salted duck is too salty). However, I was impressed by the recent visit. They were improved a lot. I guess the owner must change the recipe. I do not know how many American will like these cold dishes, I do love them. These three chinses-cold-dishs deserve one more star. read more

Happened upon here on opening night and it's $20 for dinner on a weekday ($14 for lunch and $26 for weekends iirc). This replaced Arooga's. They're playing Chinese EDM here, It's pretty catchy (but a bit loud) loll. Seating is made of some pleather material and it's comfy. I asked for hot tea and asked my waitress if it was black or green and was told black. I was fine with this but received green tea instead, which was still okay since I drink any tea, but the green tea was super watered down. It'd be better if they used 2 teabags per tea kettle; 1 teabag is prolly good for 12 oz of tea max. My thoughts on the food are below. The green beans are crunchy and pretty good. Edamame is tasty as well. Shrimp tempura roll with cream cheese- ok. Didn't notice the cream cheese when I got it. Cream cheese should not be in sushi. Inarizushi (rice and seaweed inside a tofu pocket)- decent Salmon sashimi- fatty, tasty. A lot better than expected at this price point! Mackerel sashimi- tasty, Briney, yummy. I got 4 plates of this. Kalbi (Korean beef short ribs) - large pieces of low-mid grade kalbi. Pretty fatty, had one tough piece. But overall quite yummy and awesome that they have this for a $20 dinner buffet! Octopus "sashimi" (it's cooked)- the spicy soy sauce is good, octopus is crunchy and pretty good overall. Cooked white fish- a bit dry Bacon wrapped imitation crab?- bacon was yummy. Surprisingly good overall Pork steak- tender, but a bit too salty Hibachi- my thin steak was overcooked, but noodles, leeks, onions, mushrooms, noodles, and sauce were very good. Oysters- delightfully okay. Cream puff was eh, same with red velvet cake, chocolate mousse topped cake was good, canned peaches good, pudding was alright. Overall, excellent for the price point. A little hesitant on the 5* since I've only visited on opening day, but unlimited kalbi and surprisingly decent sashimi (better than an average non-traditional sushi place) makes this buffet worth it. read more

great food, buffet food options, clean, customer service, and reasonable prices. i look forward to patronizing this place when i return to the home-front! keep up the good work! read more

The food was good and the restaurant was spacious and clean. One thing that would have improved our experience is that if the food items would have been labeled with allergens, if they included those ingredients. We had a nut allergy and gluten allergy in our party and both people were nervous about the food and worried about having a reaction. read more

We came in for lunch on a late Friday afternoon. It was less crowded which meant you can stay a bit longer before they "kind of usher" you out. Staff is friendly and efficient. Food has a variety of choices for all be it vegetarian to a carnivore. I personally prefer everything grilled and there are plenty to choose from including sauces & marinades. Desserts are plentiful and enticingly colorful as well. Definitely will be coming back and try dinner. read more

Amazing food very clean. Everyone is very nice. To go menu price very well. I would definitely recommend this place.

Awesome waiter, she refilled my water like 10 times; a great selection of different foods. Very fun to go with family

Frist it looks very nice, decorated very well. Service was very good and fast. Food was ok I really liked the General Chow chicken, it was just spicy hot so it did not burn your mouth. Now, the old saying if you have time to lean you have time to clean. They do not know this. My hand stuck to my tea pot, when I looked at the test pot I could see why. I do not think it had been cleaned since the place opened. Now for the most disturbing thing was the children running around screaming, good at all. In New Jersey do we have a food inspection department? read more
