One star is too much!!! This place is so expensive, I have a 7 yr old daughter who didn't even eat much and was charged adult price for her. Ridiculous. Not only was it expensive, the food was bad it looked old and dry as if it had been out all day. I spent $50 to not even eat one whole plate. HORRIBLE experience. BUT IT GETS WORSE... there was a fly in the jello see pic and video for reference. This place is disgusting do not go eat here unless you like nasty food. This place should be CLOSED PERMANENTLY. I felt nauseous leaving this dump.

Been seeing and hearing about this place for a long time and finally was in the area and gave it a try. It was a Friday night and there was basically no one there. The ladies at the front were very kind and friendly. We paid before being seated. It was $35 for my husband and I. We usually love buffets but it was just not very appealing. I walked around the buffet options twice before I even grabbed for anything to put on my plate. The food items I did eat were okay. Nothing really stood out as delicious or noteworthy. I had a nice time with my husband and our friends were there as well but the food was just disappointing. We will not be returning.

Service was kind and food was cheap for a buffet. That's where the good stops though... Food was not good and mostly was not fresh at all. Some items were tasty but a vast majority was questionable to say the least. Would not come here again unfortunately. They also charge you in advance including tip, though how are we to tip prior to receiving service? The ambiance wasn't the best but I could have gotten past that had it been good food but this is not the case for Palacio Buffet.

The food is disgusting don't recommend this place even to my worse enemy, it's cold, old and greasy, don't go there, otherwise you will get sick as I am right now vomiting and with stomach aches, I came with my 10 years old son, but when I was eating the first plate my stomach started hurting so bad and wanted to puke, so I told my son to don't eat it anymore but he was eating his soup , not good at all. also in the screen tv say is $16.99 for dinner but it charge me $39.94 (for me and my 10years old child) please pick another place to eat than the palacio buffet..

EL Palacio has some great selections and the people are friendly. I love the seafood!

I've been in this Buffay location plenty of times before it became this Latin food buffet. It used to be just a asian Food but now it's Asian and Latin food mixed. My family really enjoys this place because you could have oxtail, some tripe, lamb, liver, and many other different types of things. It does have a Latin food taste where you can sample all sorts of different dishes all staying under budget for a meal too. When I really want my Latin food and a lot of different varieties, I would definitely recommend coming here

Pot Stickers we're ok. Nothing great

You can probably guarantee this place will always be busy (and for good reason). Even with a line to the door, the service was very quick. There is a lot of seating even towards the back of the shop and loved the ambiance. They're very on brand throughout the entire place. I ordered the birthday mamon in a cone and I loved it! They also had a ton of other unique flavors and sundae options. I definitely will be returning!

Even on a Wednesday Sampaguita Was packed. While it's off of Colonial, there is a parking lot in…read morethe back of the plaza. Despite there being a parking lot, we weren't able to find parking and we had to park on the street. For the middle of the week, I was surprised that there was a line out the door. It took about 15 minutes before we were serviced, but the staff behind the counter was working hard. Sampaguita has unique flavors, such as Ube. They were very accommodating and they let us try a bunch of different flavors. I was surprised because every flavor that I tried wasn't too sweet like ice cream typically is. My friend and I ordered the Ube brownie with Ube whipped cream and vanilla ice cream. It was good but also not too sweet. Personally I think the ice cream actually wasn't sweet enough. With the hype that Sampaguita gets, I was expecting to be blown out of the water, but it was a little underwhelming. I think there's better ice cream in Orlando. The dining room is really cute and there's actually a lot of tables. It's very comfortable to sit there and hang out with friends.

Probably not my favorite, I mean it was delicious, but I think I prefer a regular cone. Be prepared the ice creams are massive! But they are so good A group of five of us came and ordered and we got served pretty quickly There were a couple tables to sit at and we're able to get ice cream sit and enjoy no problem

Another good ice cream place to add to my list of favorite places to go in Orlando!…read more The ice cream is a perfect combo of dense, soft, and creamy. From the top of the swirl to the very bottom of the inside of my cone, there was not a single air pocket to be found. I got the chocolate flavored ice cream, and every bite was chocolatey and creamy heaven. Now, if you know your desserts, the cone that is used is usually known as a chimney cake. It is a sweet pastry that is soft on the inside and has a glass-like crunchy exterior that is coated with cinnamon and sugar. It's a little like eating a cruffin, but with a crunchier exterior due to their special way of making it. Definitely worth trying at least once if you've never tried it before. Overall, if you're looking to impress a foodie with something sweet, decadent, and pretty, I'd say give this place a go. The ice cream is as perfect and delicious as you see it.

I didn't even realize that there's this chain named Mango Mango! I am so happy they made it to Florida. There are so many things on their menu: ice cream, crepe, waffle, drinks... and the decision between mango and durian... I want them all! The mango is very smooth, totally fiber-less, and I'm in mango heaven!! The shop is kind of out of the way, as least for a tourist, but worth the drive!

I orders the Strawberry Mango Juice Sago & Lychee Jelly w. Mango Ice Cream and the Nutella and strawberry crepe with coconut ice cream. I suggest ordering the pomelo and herbal jelly to have with the strawberry mango juice sago as it adds the right touch of sourness. Everything is fresh and light and every time I leave, I'm already looking forward to coming back The space is light and welcoming and has a good amount of seating. The staff is friendly and helpful and the orders seem to be filled pretty quickly. They even have a little stand where they sell blind boxes and other goodies, so fun! I've already brought one of sisters here and look forward to bringing even more family and friends to enjoy some seriously wonderful desserts!
