I've been to Flamin' hot buffet a few times but today was not okay. I had 3 kids with me, all of whom were 10 years old. When I was asked about their ages, I provided that information. However, one of the staff members pointed out a sign at the front stating that children aged 10 must be under 5 feet tall, and that pricing may vary depending on their weight. While I understand that businesses may have policies related to pricing, I was taken aback by the way this information was communicated. Singling out a child based on their height or weight can be perceived as body shaming, which is not appropriate--especially in front of others. I believe there are more respectful and discreet ways to address such matters, particularly when children are involved. This is not okay. Do better please.

New prices. Still great food.

1st. I love buffets. Especially Chinese buffets in strip malls and this is one of them. I've been coming here for years and I'll keep coming here. It's also cheap with lots of options. Currently they are short staffed but the waiters/waitresses work their butt off.

Can't name everything here, but you see it. Lol

This buffet is soooo good I totally recommend I love how nice and clean the establishment is the food is so good and fresh the flavors are delicious I so recommend 10/10

We have a son that is born on 04/14/2021, and the owners said he was too tall. They charged him as a three year old even though he can't get before and they treated him as a two year old. Blatant discrimination against an infant's height, do they want to see the birth certificate? Because we can bring it straight to their face to show that he is two years old as of this review and they will trash it and say that he is three. Good food, decent atmosphere, horrible receptionists. Food 5/5 Service 1/5 Ambiance 4/5

The food is not warm although I can see the smoke in the air. The soup, they don't have the cup, only styrofoam containers available. Hibachi is good. Staff are friendly.

OMG - first time visit as visiting from out of town. Lots of parking and tables…read more Wow what a selection and they really keep the dishes well stocked and hot and clean. Service was good - promptly seated and drink order taken. Good visit enjoyed the food

It is your typical Chinese buffet with a plethora of fried items, mid sushi, and rows and rows of…read morehot and cold food items. This buffet was so packed on a weeknight during dinner time. Almost no more tables were available by six/seven pm. The booths and tables are very close in proximity so be prepared to be squeezing in and out of your seat when you return to the buffet for more. The buffet area is not very clean and the staff do not come often to sanitize from what I see. Plates are stacked high for the volume of guests they have and food is constantly replaced though! They have a few rows of cold food items including salads, slaws, and chilled seafood including squid and shrimp. Hot food items include anything from chicken wings, sesame balls, eggrolls, cream cheese rangoons, to soups, stir fried veggies, noodles, fried rice, beef and broccoli, sweet and sour chicken, kung pao chicken, and much more...you get the idea. However, a notable mention is their dim sum area. They have several types of buns, chicken feet, pork shumai, beef tripe, beef offal, beancurd rolls, and more. The quality of said items are very mid and cannot compare to an actual dim sum restaurant though I do appreciate the variety. The sushi bar has fried maki rolls, regular sushi rolls, as well as sashimi and sushi besides the seaweed salad, picked ginger, served with wasabi and soy sauce. These items are also plentiful but not exactly fresh and tasty if you know what I'm saying! Desserts include stale cakes, jello, pudding, watery soft serve ice cream from their machine, and chocolate fondue with fruit/marshmallow skewers. The price of the buffet varies like all other typical Chinese buffets, depending if its a weekday, weekend, lunch or dinner time, and whether or not its a holiday. They offer kids prices and senior discounts as well. The restroom was also ick. Overall, nothing really stood out to me at this buffet and I wouldn't come back again because there are so many better buffets at a similar price point. Unfortunately this has been one of the most disappointing Chinese buffets I've been to though both the variety and the service deserves a star...I wish I like it more.

I beg to you people, this is garbage, not worth anything, spend your money else where. They don't care about you enough to make decent food, this trash they serve is unhealthy garbage, nothing is cooked right, the food is old and tasteless and made for people who know not what Real Mexican food is supposed to taste like, It Really Bad disgusting food, Management is how you say ..Ignorant, stupid and a Joke, nothing is ran right here, How this Garbage Can Food place is still operational is a mystery, there is no way I will ever put this garbage trashcan food in my body ever again, it will make you sick, The place looks like a nightmare after eating bad Mexican food, It stinks in there,like old moss or crusty eye crud. The tables are what you will find in a dump, old chewing gum under the chairs and tables not to mention how dirty the booths were, old food in between the seats from said booth, old chewed food, I will never understand how low quality food which they serve here ever gets eaten. The place is Old, torn up and ran down, I wouldn't put prisoners in here to eat for that would be considered cruel and Dehumanizing treatment. I tried time and time again to find something worthy of this Degenerate Food establishment and nope..nothing but disgusting food, disgusting service and disgusting Ambiance, This place needs to be Torn Down and replaced with a dog kennel, Old is Old, nothing they do will ever bring this strip of trash back because it has always been bad, when it first opened it was trash food, This place is an Eye sore and the area is known for violence. I tried to be fair but to no avail, these guys make it hard to be good, I can and will Never give these idiots a break for the trash they serve this community with, its time..They have to go, places like this are only still open because Karens cry because there's no food this cheap anywhere. Yes its cheap.... you'd have to be a clown to think this is Mexican food...its not. Eat At Your Own Risk. Don't blame me when they stick that stomach pump line down your throat.I warned Yall , Go Elsewhere.

It's been a long time since I've been in Golden Corral and it didn't take me very long to remember…read morewhy I stopped dining there. If you're going to spend over $90, $108 after tip For four people you expect a certain level of quality And Golden Corral is not it. They're Fried Chicken was Bland, their Meatloaf was dry, they think a pork roast is a premium meat, the guy running the meat station refuse to speak when asked a basic question, when we arrived around 5:30 p.m. everything on the buffet appear to be picked through or past its freshness and for my last complaint I'll finish up with the cheesecake on the dessert bar looked like it had been dropped pick up and put back on the counter. The only saving grace was that the carrot cake was good but I imagine that it comes prepared, a tender and juicy 2 in by 3 in piece of steak, And some tasty fried shrimp that only hit the buffet a few minutes before I was ready to leave. oh yes and the dinner rolls were good, would have been better if I would have had honey butter but I guess they don't do that no more or can't afford it at $22 a person Quite honestly I was shocked at how many people were dining at this establishment. So maybe it's just me, maybe I'm missing something or they were having a bad day. But I eat out at a lot of Buffets and most of them charge around $15 per person plus drink plus tip but the quality is far superior for the price which makes that pill easier to swallow. *Poor *Decent *Ok *Good *Great *Best *JLFoodie Certified Prices.

Service was fine, nothing amazing and nothing terrible. When we went back for a second plate around 8:00, they were already breaking down the buffet and putting food away. That was a letdown. No hot food was being restocked, and teppanyaki and hot pot were no longer options. The sushi selection was mostly empty too. For clarification, they don't close until 9:00. The food we did get tasted okay, but nothing stood out or made me want to rush back. On the bright side, the restaurant and restrooms were clean, so at least that part was solid. Overall, it felt less like an all you can eat experience and more like "a you should have gotten there an hour earlier experience." Perhaps my least favorite part of the evening was the relentless ringing of bellhop bells behind both the hot food and sushi counters. They clanged nonstop to summon servers, turning the entire dining experience into an 80s montage where the "Better Off Dead" paperboy keeps circling your table on his bike, dead-eyed, ringing his bell, demanding his two dollars. This is a very generous three stars, given with kindness and lowered expectations.

I think it was no less than 80 degrees in there. They had an AC unit which was running but that thing was not going to cool the entire restaurant. There was no way. Service. Wow. Mediocre at best. The food comes out rather quickly and the seating is good. The decor does not fit the establishment's roots. I think they need to go back to the drawing board and make it feel like I am on foreign land when stepping inside and trying out Indian food. I ordered the lamb masala with buttered naan and lollipop chicken. The lamb was cooked beautifully, the curry was also very tasteful. Rice was good as expected. I mostly mixed everything with the rice. Now, for the lollipop chicken. They need to take that thing off the menu or re-create it. There were more crispy parts than chicken itself. Unseasoned as well. I ordered a lime soda and it was decent. I think if you ordered here to go, your experience will be a lot different. Customer service was sub-par. With only 1 waitress, the restaurant was not even busy but yet it took me 8 minutes to cash out. Staff need to be more attentive to their customers. Would I try the food here again? Yes. But only if they fix or get a bigger air conditioning unit.
