    Lots of crab
    Emily H.

    In order to find the best Chinese buffet in the metroplex we had to cast a really wide net. After all, these types of places aren't exactly known for their high ratings. Empire Buffet looked to be the most promising though, so we made the trek out there for a birthday meal. We arrived just before 3pm in the hope that there would be a lull in activity between lunch and dinner. That strategy clearly wasn't effective because it was plenty busy. I guess everyone else had the same idea! As far as the selection, they've got all the usual suspects associated with a Chinese buffet including a hibachi station, sushi, salad bar and even some American foods. The only thing that appeared out of the ordinary was that they had more seafood dishes than other buffets. The food was kind of hit or miss when it came to quality and flavor. For example, the calamari and some of the shrimp were rubbery and didn't taste fresh at all. Other things, like the orange chicken, fried noodles, and oddly enough, the coffee cake, were so tasty they were worthy of getting seconds (or thirds!). Normally, the service at a buffet isn't particularly memorable, except this time it was. Our server attended to our table of 12 like it was her only duty and seemed genuinely happy to do so. In fact, she did did such an awesome job that I couldn't rate the experience any less than 4 stars even when the food alone was closer to 3.

    Looks like a pretty new buffet with trendy interior decor and LED lighting. Service was pretty good and the price wasn't too bad for a Monday night. My main issues were the selection on weeknights and quality of the food. The selection wasn't great. Pretty limited compared to other Asian buffets. And some of the items weren't great. The pork ribs were chewy and tough. And the sushi was pretty dry, probably because it was sitting out for too long. And it was pretty busy inside. The chicken on a stick and black bean clams were pretty good. Might give it another try, but maybe on a weekend to see if they have sashimi and crab legs.

    Finally get to try this buffet in Duncanville, a little out of the way from Arlington, but price is very good for all the seafood selection that you get. We went on Saturday, $18 per person. You get snow crab legs, snail, blue crabs, a lot of seafood and a good selection of everything, seated right away, no wait. Buffet is very new and clean. I think this one is better than king buffet in terms of seafood selections.

    Great family experience at any time of the day. The food is so good and plentiful. The people are so nice and don't get in your way. There is everything here to eat if you can think of it from sushi to pancakes. The ambiance is causal and this is great for eating with huge groups or huge appetites.

    Amazing food with great customer service. Will definitely come again

    See all
