    I had to go back again. The food was awesome . The waitresses were extremely nice and helpful. The staff is so pleasant when you walk in the door. Love this place. The only thing I wish they would serve is sour cream for the tacos.

    Doesn't look open from the outside, they need more advertising. Their is no outside lights to tell people they are open. Other than the open, it is not that bad, I have seen so much worst places that have buffet. I deff prefer this than golden coral. I did like the noodles and the seafood. The place is super clean, looks like it has been renovated. Another plus was the cleanness of the bathrooms. Top noche. I do recommend that the place puts more lighting outside, and the food to be warmer. We came in at at 7:30, so the food should of been fresh, but that's why my 4 stars instead of 5

    Hadn't visited this location in a couple years and it's been upgraded! Newly renovated, new AC, very clean. Staff are bilingual and very attentive. Food is just as good here as the Orlando location. Unlimited croquetas and queso frito? Yes please!

    Flies in their cold food

    Literal flies on the food, the food is cold, it is very and I mean very overpriced, you're timed for an hour to eat, And The servers were difficult to flag down. I am most definitely never going to come back here and waste my money again

    This was the first time I went to a Latin buffet that wasn't in my house! I can't believe this concept actually existed until my friend brought my here for my birthday. The food was great and lots to choose from. I didn't take pictures cause I was busy picking food and eating but it is definitely a must if you are a Latin food lover! Service was good, price was right and the food was abundantly amazing. You will not go home hungry here!!!

    Pork chop, spaghetti, crab, ox tail, gizzards, black beans and rice.

    The food was definitely good. I enjoyed the variety of foods, from pigs feet to chicken gizzards and ox tail and beef liver. It was a delight for me. The service was good, everyone we interacted with was friendly. The facility itself was clean, and comfortable. I am from out of state and could only hope they would bring a restaurant like this there, being Colombian I truly loved the flavor profiles here that reminded me of that piece of myself.

    This place is everything plus everything

    Place was good, to bad they only have these resturants in Florida had there been 1 in ny game over. Food was good and service attentive. Will definitely be going back when I return to Florida here soon

    All in all, absolutely amazing. I'm not from around here, I'm from LA. I came here o. A suggestion of the shuttle driver. I am impressed! 5 stars for the following: Variety, variety and variety of meats and soups. I couldnt get enough, I tried practically everything and I wasn't disappointed. If you're from LA you know there are many buffet restaurants, typically Chinese. But this place goes above and beyond. Lunch is $10.99 and it includes drink, and it's up to 3pm Come on over, you will not be disappointed. Absolutely friendly service from beginning to end. I would definitely recommend to family and friends A++

    Truly was the best food ever loved it so much had to make love to my sexy ass husband!!!

    LISTEN. I wasn't too sure about this place before I got there. The photos and former reviews didn't have me convinced. BUT THEN I GOT THERE. The front is unassuming, but plenty of parking. There was a short line to get in which I didn't mind. You pay before sitting, and it was very affordable. We were seated in the back, closest to the food and oh my gosh. What a selection! There is a mix of basic Chinese buffet staples and Spanish/Puerto Rican food, majority being the latter. Everything was delicious. My favorite was the lechon. I honestly would return for the lechon alone. Our waitress kept our waters full and the entire staff was so friendly. Before I finished my first plate I had already messaged several friends telling them about the establishment. I will 100 percent be returning.

    I visited Inchin's Bamboo Garden for dinner and was immediately impressed by how calm and inviting…read morethe atmosphere felt, especially at night. The exterior is softly lit with string lights and a glowing sign, which makes the restaurant look warm and welcoming from the parking lot. Once inside, the interior has a clean, modern design with colorful flooring, bamboo accents, and dim lighting that creates a relaxed dining environment. We were greeted by Srinu, who ended up being one of the highlights of our visit. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely fun to talk to -- he even spent time sharing cultural stories with us, which added a personal touch you rarely get in most dining experiences. His attention to detail and warm energy made the meal feel even more enjoyable. For food, we ordered the Thai Yellow Curry with Chicken, Chili Garlic Noodles with Chicken, and a side of Garlic Naan. The yellow curry was rich, creamy, and full of flavor, with tender pieces of chicken and vegetables that paired perfectly with the steamed rice. The chili garlic noodles were equally good -- spicy, aromatic, and loaded with stir-fried vegetables and chicken. It had that great Indo-Chinese blend of heat and savoriness that Inchin's is known for. The garlic naan was freshly made, soft on the inside with a crisp exterior, and brushed generously with herbs and butter. It was perfect for scooping up the curry. The food came out quickly, hot, and beautifully presented, which matched the upscale feel of the dining room. You can tell the kitchen pays attention to consistency and seasoning. Overall, Inchin's Bamboo Garden delivered a great experience -- delicious food, a clean and calming environment, friendly staff, and surprisingly good pop music playing in the background that kept the vibe fun without being loud. Huge shoutout to Srinu for making the dinner even better with his hospitality. This is definitely a spot I would come back to for Indo-Chinese dishes done right.

I believe that is after tax. Items that I go for at the buffet cold station are the fatty beef, pork filled fishballs, crab sticks, crawfish and shrimp. I also like the raw oysters. I had crab here before and I'm not sure if they do not have it anymore or if they don't have it on the weekdays. They have a conveyer belt that shuttles vegetables, dumplings, tofu and noodles around so it's easy to grab. I like that this restaurant labels it too so you know what it is. Everything is individually saran wrapped for cleanliness. The hot food station had appetizers such as chicken wings and spring rolls but also had cooked food like ham fried rice and a delicious fried salt and pepper jumbo shrimp. I loved it. Would definitely continue to be a repeat customer.
