When you walk in, pay up front, put in a tip amount, they'll give you that in cash, and you can give it to the worker attending to your table. I feel like a lot of people don't tip because they paid up front, but please don't be one of those people.
A great thing about Feast is that if you go on the weekend, it'll likely be very busy, so there will be fast food turnover, meaning fresher food. The trade off is that it gets really crowded by the food stations, but I'll take fresh food and crowds over old food with no lines lol
Now, the biggest selling point of Feast Buffet (aside from the price), in my opinion, is the huge variety of foods they have: seafood, sushi, fried foods, American, Mexican, Chinese, hibachi, dim sum, soups, dessert and probably more I can't remember! It would be unreasonable for everything to be great, but a lot of dishes are good, you just have to find them (and not get too full before you find them lol). So make sure not to grab huge portions if you don't know what's good yet. Get a bite of whatever interests you because you can get full trying everything in here. And you don't want to waste stomach space on things that are mediocre or waste food either.
Take into account, this is a cheap buffet, not a 5-star restaurant, so adjust expectations accordingly, but here are some dishes I really like:
Steamed blue crab (1 out of 4 times, it didn't
feel very fresh, but I stopped at the one so it
could've just been a bad one and not the
whole batch. The other times were great
and tasty! Shell crackers available upon
request! Also bandaids at the front if you
cut yourself, like I did once lol
Coconut shrimp
Teriyaki chicken
Fried chicken wings
Ceviche
Seaweed salad
Squid salad
Imitation crab salad
Kimchi
Some soups
Some dishes I think are decent:
Sushi (depends on what exactly you get, but I
really liked the salmon skin roll)
Clams (but the shells break a lot and get in the
clams, so be careful chewing!)
Frog legs
Salt and pepper squid
Hibachi
Cheese & cold mussels
Egg tarts
The only dishes I usually don't find to be good at all are certain fried food items like cheese sticks and onion rings. Maybe they sit out too long and just aren't fresh, but every time I'm disappointed. I think the steamed bun was also disappointing if I remember correctly.
I wouldn't say this place is for picky people. You gotta taste the rainbow and find what does it for you. And if nothing does it for you, you just might not be a buffet person. Or maybe they're having a bad night. Who knows. But they're always busy for a reason. read more
