Definitely the food. Sunday afternoons is our best time to go. Everything is fresh and hot. Not that it isnt any other time its just thats the time that works best for us. And the service is amazing. The ambiance is clean and the big screen showing parts of the world is awesome. read more

Usual spot I had a coupon in the mail the guy in the counter was serious and is not nice and it was a $10 off. $25.99 per person he charged me $70 I was to excited to notice but it should have bin $67.99. I honestly think he just didn't want to give me the discount. read more

Wanted to try this Asian buffet tucked in the corner of the Strip mall on 122nd & Division for awhile. There's basically only one reason to come to places like this: to fill up on generic Asian dishes & seafood. Atmosphere was pretty sterile with Travelogues showing on a big screen & cafeteria-style seating. Place was busy on a Saturday afternoon but there's plenty of tables. Tables were bussed frequently and the buffet table was replenished as needed. The variety of items was standard for Asian buffets with a wide selection of Chinese entrees, sushi, soups, noodles, fried items, desserts & fresh & cooked seafood. Most of the items were meh to very good, but the standout item was surprisingly the fried frog legs (lightly battered & delicious). The snow crab legs were also decent sized. For roughly $25/each for dinner (less for lunch though seafood items may be fewer), you can definitely get your $$ worth, especially now with the cost of eating out sky-rocketing. read more

I went right after they opened. Place is clean. Food selection was good, but it was warm or cold and not all of it tasted fresh. They did not have general tao chicken or hot mustard. read more

I went at 8:30 this evening for a quick dinner. Unfortunately the lady at the cash register was rather rude and unfriendly. Also, the food was not hot enough. Offering food that is too cold can lead to health hazards. The management needs to start getting its act together. When I first went to FJ Buffet in 2024 the restaurant seemed different - more attentive staff and better food. Decline is the first step toward going out of business! read more

We paid full price for our dinner buffet but at 7:00 pm the crab was gone and they weren't going to bring anymore out. Then at 7:30 pm the oysters ran out and they stopped serving and wasn't going to bring anymore out. We paid to eat oysters and crab legs but didn't get any and they close at 9:00 pm or 9:30 pm. And when we complained about it to the owner or manager he said he knows and wasn't going to do anything about it. They should not charge people full price if they are mot getting crab legs and oysters and should let guests know before they pay. Give them an option and if the customer wants to eat then offer them a discounted price. read more

Tasty!! Not a super fancy buffet, well stocked with mostly Asian fare - mapu tofu, spicy eggplant plant stirfry, grilled/ baked/ fried fish, shrimp and clams stirfry, veggie options, noodles rice, soups - a cold salad bar ( with cold chicken feet of course) sushi, fruit - too many to name all of them- the Mongolian beef, mapu tofu were my favorites although I did try some cold you-peel shrimps, and the orange chicken looked inviting! Other fare included pizza, garlic bread, vanilla & chocolate pudding, cake slices - and my other favorite was the cold tapioca & taro "soup" dessert. Took pictures of our plates / and a really good hot n sour soup ( zesty, with a great consistency, better than the sit down restaurant we go to!) Very clean, and the clientele of mostly older Asian uncles and aunties on a Monday afternoon tells you food is gonna be good! read more

Lunch Buffet review. A bit of mixed feelings. Some pretty good things, some just barely okay. Some were blah. The price seems relatively fair for a buffet of this type and the general cost of dining out now. They try to please, but I doubt their losing any money. I would imagine it's price point is better than most, though. Shrimp still in the shell with the head on and obviously not deveined didn't impress, And messy to peel. The used plates are picked up quickly so that's taken into account. The salmon was way overcooked and seemed like they were the parts leftover when you fillet them. Still edible if only they were cooked much less. The baked desserts were actually pretty good. Ice cream in cups were also surprising good. And I don't like cheap ice cream. I didn't try the soup or salad or American food, but they looked fine. Very seafood forward with an Asian twist. No cocktail or tartar sauce, though? Lots of sushi, but I don't eat that by choice, I'm old and not used to that in my diet. It's probably just imitation crab which would be safe for me. That's about as "sushi" as my tummy will allow. Soda pop and tea are included. Senior discount, too. I'd say give it a try if this is what you like. Get there early, as it fills up fast. A very international clientele so that's a good sign for food variety. It's very clean and the food doesn't run out. Some dishes were warm enough, some were not. Don't expect a Chinese food restaurant or an American buffet. The traffic in that area is like at rush hour level a large part of the day. I do not miss living out that way as it takes 2x as long to get anywhere than it did in the early 80s. Too many unsynchronized traffic signals, too many crosswalks and a reduced speed limit. The owner is nice, but no one else speaks, though. In my own observation, if they were better, there would be more of them around town. 3.5 stars read more

food was hot, delicious and well seasoned but the chicken katsu was dry/hard/no flavor

Food was cold and its was so bland that my dad puked and the old man at the entrance was nice and it cost 115 for 4 adults this is outrageous DO NOT COME HERE!!!!! and it has a horrible ambiance and the lights are dim and a glitched tv and I saw a woman coughing over the food bye read more

Alright let's get down and honest for the value here. It's great for what you get, giant sushi bar, poke, some desserts, soup section (hot and sour soup, egg drop soup, miso soup, taro soup), hot food section, crab, crawfish, noodles, stir fry, fried rice. All for less than $30 a person (it's even cheaper during the weekday for lunch). You may feel displeased as a lot of the ladies carting around a giant cart cleaning up tables but for the most part this place is clean. If you see a mess tell someone! And contrary to what someone else said about cockroaches there were none here, I've been here 6 times. Since 2023-2024. The only thing I can say that needs work is they are sometimes stingy about the crab legs or oysters on weekends or holidays (blame the greedy folk for taking 2-3 plate fulls of them). So that can be a little slow but for the most part it's great. I also love that you get unlimited refills for drinks and it's self service. Holiday reviews: Thanksgiving - they were open and they served SMOKED TURKEY. This was really good! Christmas - they were open and serve crab legs (snow crab and Jonas crab). read more

I enjoyed the buffet. More options available for lunch than I thought. Not busy, super clean, most dishes were just okay. A few were really great, and a few not good at all. But my husband and I disagree on what's good and what's not. Neither of us liked any of the desserts, we both liked the sushi we tried, and we both did not like the steamed fish. Everything else we disagreed. Would go again and plan to return. Great place to take my lactose intolerant family members. read more

We heard mixed reviews about this place, but decided to finally try it because we love buffets. From outside it doesn't look very big but when you go inside, the space is pretty large. The staff is very friendly and they're very busy making quick rounds to keep everything clean. Dinner is a pretty good price being a little over $20 with drink included for dinner . There is a good selection of food, a little more than your typical buffet place with all the normal Asian cuisine's . They're cooked oysters are really plump and juicy and there's a lot of mussels with the Mayo cheese topping. The cold section had a lot of roisters, rock, crab, and lots and lots of sashimi. Overall in the Portland area, I would maybe consider this the best buffet place. read more

Average Chinese buffet. A good selection along with Sushi and sashimi options. Lots of dining space. Fountain drinks are included with cost, no soft serve Icecream - they're individual cups. Clean and attentive staff. Some quarter machines are available near the front cashier. read more

So far the best Chinese buffet in Oregon. Good offerings and good service. When you have an appetite, you don't know what you want to eat or you have company that is finicky taste, this is a great place to dine. Good sushi, dim sum, authentic and non-authentic dishes, okay deserts..... Big plus- drink included in price! read more

Food is tasty and fresh. Service excellent and staff are very friendly Ambiance is clean and modern read more

The venue was spacious. The staff displayed friendliness and took away empty plates very fast. However, the food quality left room for improvement. During my initial plate, three out of the four items were cold, with one being unchewable. The second time I went for food was the same. Some dishes seemed less than fresh and remained unreplenished, probably because there weren't many customers there. When more people came, they started getting more food out including new items. I finally got to eat some fresh food but I was almost full. Many dishes lacked flavor, and the beef was consistently hard to chew. Among the choices, the chicken skewer was my favorite. read more

Price too high for quality of food, generic. The overcooked prime rib and turkey was a huge disappointment

Food and service was great. First time there. Had the lunch menu and they started putting out the dinner shortly after I arrived. Very clean and enjoyable read more

I went here with my 7 year old daughter for lunch. Pretty much right at the opening so that everything would be fresh. I went expecting to get Crab, but when we got there, there was no crab. Not really much of a selection. I got 3 different kinds of noodles, which were good with soy sauce and sriracha. Beef chow fun was good minus the beef, the beef & broccoli was good minus the beef. Egg drop soup, not good. No flavor. I had some fried chicken wings, they were okay. Spring roll was good, cream cheese wonton was okay. Veggie sushi was good and the salad was good, but very plain. Only cucumbers and tomatoes as toppings. Cucumber had a weird taste. To me the best thing that day was the Dr. Pepper. It was fresh and crisp. My daughter enjoyed the food she had because it was mostly fried like fries, fried chicken, and a couple pieces of sushi. And then dessert was her favorite of course. I didn't have dessert because by that time I was just kind of turned off by the quality and also what wasn't available, that I originally came for. They really didn't have much meat options either. General Tsao's chicken, but I bit a piece and it was hard. Ambiance was fine, large food court feel. Large TV's on the wall. I more than likely will not return. read more

Typical Chinese buffet food. The restaurant is clean and the servers are quite good at clearing the plates from your table. The food was kept full at the buffet. Nothing spectacular but if you're into Asian buffet food it's not too bad. read more

This is my first time coming here with my family. We came at lunch. It was an open area with buffets all around. Lots of good choices. It was very easy to pick what you want or skip what you want. Four different types of soup: Miso, Egg flower and Hot n Sour and Tapioca (dessert)? The service is great. People picking up plates from our tables. The ambiance is nice and open. Very comfortable. I was surprised to see so many different varieties of seafood available. And sushi bar too. And drinks included in your meal. And ice cream cups plus dessert. read more

This place has a big TV screen to see all the seafood that you are about to eat beside the turtle lols This buffet besides their raw salmon has nothing else, well maybe their seafood mix thing on the shell. Over all this buffet is not good, I came in earlier and they had their food out, I realized it was cold. I asked the chefs to warm it up. She take the same deep fried crabs and refries it again. Bring it out they still cold I don't know what she did. This is one of the worst on maybe third worst buffet I ever visited. If not for the price it would be 1 STAR! read more

I find it so odd... but surprisingly not too bad for an AYCE Chinese buffet! It's a BUFFET, So don't expect world class service & cleanliness! Positives!! Focus on those. Food comes out fairly fast, they don't hold back like other Asian buffets and stop pushing out food 1 hour before closing. For the price, locally, this might be the place to go to. read more

This place was a little sketchy in the SE Portland area of 122nd Division it's next to Rite Aide once inside the place is a beautiful place the whole decor is new and vibrant. You paid before u walk in and after that it's help yourself to the food and drinks. They have Chinese dishes and some nice sushi dishes. When your done with your plate a server comes by and picks it up and off you go to get more Another great place read more

This is probably the best seafood fuffet around! So much to choose from and everyone is very nice

5 stars in terms of buffet standards. I don't know why people are so critical about food at a buffet... you get what you pay for. If you want high quality food, go to an actual sit down restaurant. For the price you pay here, I think the selection and food quality is great. Definitely the best buffet in the area. I love the crawfish. It is fairly clean. Again, if you are looking for high quality food, don't go to a buffet. Otherwise, I think the price is really good for what you get. read more

A newer buffet spot that opened up earlier this year. The exterior may look small, but once inside, the place is pretty spacious. What i really like about this place is that it's pretty clean inside and the the spacing. We came for a weekday lunch, which was $14.99 a person and included soft drinks and ice cream. The food was neither amazing or bad, its your typical buffet style food. There were a couple items that were pretty tasty - the stir fry pork bone-in was super flavorful. You really can't beat the price for what you get. read more

I was there with a large group of seniors and I'm sure the restaurant knew and they geared up for a great number of people. The food was good and the service was OK when you can find someone if you needed something. It was a good first time experience overall and I would recommend it but when something ran out they were not quick to replenish the item. Keep in mind this is a buffet so you'll have to pick and choose the items that you want. Sadly there was not a soft ice cream machine and only had ice cream in the Dixie cups. This restaurant is part of a larger mall so there is plenty of parking which is a big plus. read more

I went by myself for lunch a few months back and the food was great. I was excited to take my wife there and paid almost $50. All the food was old, cold and my wife had a bite of rotten chicken that had a really hard, dry coating, the only thing that was barely warm was the ribs and some leafy greens. I went back for some skewered chicken that was frying on a grill but they were saturated in a funky smelling grease. I don't know if it was old or what but 1 bite was enough for me. We mentioned this to the manager but he was only concerned with which ONE of the food was cold and bad but just about the worst buffet ever, no comp or even apology. Don't waste your money, I had to take my wife to a drive thru so she could have an edible dinner. read more

I didn't like how the food tasted like it was from last year, like the salmon was really hard and dry and the custard buns weren't even custard it just tasted like curry inside a bun while the sushi rice was really really dry along with the other desserts. I really liked the ice cream though read more
