This is another one of the "All you can swallow" Chinese buffet around town. I only came to sup with a group of friends. I've been to the one at Royal and Central, and Wei Wei in Addison. For some reason this one was pretty dead on a Wednesday night, not sure why because the food is the same as most of the others, but it did have more seafood than most with king crack legs, mud bugs, shrimp and salmon. It does have a cordoned off meeting room that is pretty easy to book. So that is a plus if you need to host 15 to 30 for a club meeting space. read more

We got there around 7:45pm on a Friday, place not crowded, noticed they don't replenish the food, limited selection. For the same price King Buffet has much better selections. read more

What a yummy buffet loaded with so many items along with sushi and made to order hibachi!! A counter of desserts , salad, and fresh fruits. On this day there were 10 seafood dishes and 9 chicken entrees along with steak. My favorite was beef broccoli, grilled chicken and a seafood dish. Crab Rangoon are crispy and stuffed full of creamy center. The young man running around seating folks, refilling drinks and picking up dirty plates was so friendly and took good care of everyone. The lunch buffet was $12.99 and they had a kids under 10 eat free. Large dinning room with mute local TV and good music. read more

Five family members were in town and, though we knew of the Flaming Buffet, had never been here. In general we were quite satisfied with our experience. They have a good assortment of foods, both hot and cold, a nice selection of sushi, and a Habachi bar. Of course there are also desserts and ice cream. We found everything to be tasty and generally well prepared. I can return with a clear conscious. The only real negative (and this is stretching it) was that sometimes the food on the buffet didn't match the name label. read more

Run run away. I didn't have great expectations for the food but I need something quick easy and warm. I'm pretty confident I'll have food poisoning after eating here after seeing their health score on yelp (I wished I had looked before we ate). read more

Got sick after eating there just one time! I'm pretty sure it's this new bird flu or something like that. I went in feeling fine and their Dr Pepper started giving me a slight stomach ache. Then the butter made me start coughing immediately, and I knew something was wrong. Fast forward one day later and my muscles are killing my along with my throat, result from going to eat at this 'not all you can eat buffet' according to the owner. Do not go eat here unless you want to get sick!! read more

Had late lunch here. Early bird Senior special from 2 pm to 3:30 pm is $6.99/ person on weekdays. Friday - Sunday $12.99 per person, all day and night, serving all kinds of seafoods. read more

Came in on a weekday for dinner. Average variety (about 5 bars with hibachi grill and sushi area. The place is fairly large and clean and well lit with many nice chandeliers and bright lighting. Service was good and we were offered drink refills many times. The hibachi grill had a variety -- green onions, mushrooms, broccoli, garlic, beef, chicken, shrimp, jalapeños and some other items. It took about 5-7 minutes before anyone came out to cook the food I had. Looked for a bell or anything to get service but this did not exist. There were some good items -- ribs, clams, shrimp, typical fried and battered food and a variety of salad and fruit with desserts. A few items were not as great. The salmon was gray colored so either it was not salmon, or they sourced from a place that has gray colored salmon. The calamari was almost deep fried to burnt. The fried fish was Swai but it was dyed to a yellow color. Maybe to be festive? Otherwise the quality was to be expected for a buffet and also a weekday night. The main excitement was variety and freedom to return for seconds. I'm not sure if I would go back since buffets are not my top choice. However, if you are looking for quantity at a price point $10-15 per person, this is your place. read more

Decided to give this place a try and it didn't disappoint dinner is 11.49 per person kids 3-10 age are 5.35. Place was very clean and the food was really fresh my daughter tore up their shrimp and crawfish. Loved the fact there fried rice didn't have onions in it as most places do! They didn't have too many servers so had to ask for them to take our dirty plates and they waited until we were completely empty with our drinks to ask if we wanted a refill that's why they lost me for five stars read more

Listen... this is a Chinese buffet. I don't know why everyone else is complaining. If you've eaten at a Chinese buffet then this is what you expect and it deserves the 5 star rating. Everything is hot. Fresh from what I can tell and will make my blood sugar go through the roof! I'm starting a better eating plan on Monday and decided to knock it out of the park on Friday night. That stuff we always wonder if it's squirrel on a stick is top notch. You know what I'm talking about and you like it. I don't always give 5stars but this place is clean and customer service was friendly and on point. Shrimp and dumplings also on point. Come get diabetes. It'll be worth it. ;) read more

Flaming Buffet - The whole damn buffet. - Chinese Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Went to Flaming Buffet on 07/13/23 during lunch and went to the hibachi station to make my plate. The rude cook told me the griddle wasn't ready. I asked him how long it would be and he told me he didn't know. I then asked him again, "Maybe 5-10 minutes?", he said, "Whenever the light turns on!" Being on a time constraint I asked the hostess who seated us if we would pay half price since we are not receiving the full service. She then asked the cook and he said, "I told her a few minutes!!!". Ummm...no you didn't mention that at all! Then he said, "You can leave if you have a problem!" Well that's exactly what we did. My husband was making his plate at the buffet and he left it there. Disrespectful and not worth the time! Don't spend your hard earned money at this place. read more

It's not bad at all, we had a coupon and for 2 adults and a child it was $40.00 and for us that's a lot. They don't have any desserts worth tasting. Service was good although our waitress was unable to speak English (Chinese) and wasn't able to help as much as we needed. It was clean and the food seemed to have good stock I would say out of 20 choices there was about 8 good options read more

Like others have stated this Flaming Buffet is NOT honoring their coupons!!!! The staff are NOT wearing their masks correctly either. The food was meh with not many choices to support the price. Such a big disappointment. Shame on them. Take your business else where!!!!! read more

Nice experience. Good food for the price and very clean. The service is excellent as well

Compared to a lot of other buffets this location is always clean, staff is kind and friendly. The food is much better quality than alot of other similar buffets. read more

The food is "ok". Just a warning to those expecting an $8.99 Lunch (until 3:30): You MUST pay the cashier BEFORE 3:30; if not, you pay dinner price $11.49 (ps: you can't pay when you come in). That wouldn't be so bad except that I had to purposely avoid ALL THE ITEMS marked as DINNER ONLY (I counted 12). And those were the only really good items. Another nearby chinese place pulled this same type of bait and switch on me once. I never went back there. Almost forgot. Don't bother to ask for the Senior 10% discount that they advertise. The cashier will say "I have no button for that. So sorry." Wow. I just saw that Fellow Flamming Buffet Reviewer (see Shawn L. post) is a partial owner writing his own reviews on this place and the one on Lavon. Sad state of affairs! Changed me from 2 star to 1 or less. read more

Flaming Buffet - What's NOT for lunch - Chinese Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Like another reviewer said, it's a buffet, you should know what you are going to get. That being said, the place was clean, the staff was nice, all the food was hot. I was surprised at how tasty the food was, compared to other buffet restaurants. It just had more flavor overall. The hibachi was fast and the prepared food was cooked properly and seasoned well. I'll be going back soon. read more

Came to try this place out since it recently opened. Would say it's on par with other Chinese American buffets. There's plenty of food options meaning there's something for everyone including the kids. I personally gravitated towards the seafood options, crab legs and shrimp, to get the most bang for my buck. They consistently restocked the crab legs and everything tasted fresh! Next to the crab legs, you can find melted butter to dip the meat in. I also enjoyed their salt and pepper crab and shrimp. I tried other items like their crab rangoons and eggrolls and thought they were mediocre. Crab rangoons are hard to mess up but theirs had minimal cream cheese filling. Their sushi also honestly didn't look too appealing to me since the rice to filling ratio was high. There sadly weren't free-standing pieces of sashimi. Dessert options were decent. For fruit, there were fresh orange slices, grapes, cantaloupe, and honeydew in the front. Soft serve ice cream available in the back near the hibachi station. Waiters were good about clearing used/ dirty plates from our table so we would have room for more food. Overall, Flaming is nothing to write home about and food seemed to be hit or miss. Summary: food 3/5, ambiance 2.5/5, service 3/5. read more

Came in for a quick lunch before some shopping. It was not too crowded and the food was nice and hot! They have Hibachi, Sushi and Chinese food oh my! The kids enjoyed the dessert bar more then the food options. Lots of variety 8 different stations and plenty of room. There are also a few other locations. The staff was very nice. Good for big groups and parties or small ones. Would come again. They have happy hour/lunch pricing as well as dinner and I think to go by the pound. read more

We went about 4 on a weekday afternoon. They offered a wide variety of great seafood. We didn't even make it back to the Hibachi grill and the Sushi! Pleasantly surprised! It was all delicious. It was our first visit but will definitely be back. read more

Food was cold, stale, and tasted like it was from yesterday. Sesame chicken was dry and hard to chew. Service was not good. We told our server about the food to alert them. Who I assume was the manager came up and rudely said the food can't be cold because they had just made it. Then asked the table next to us how the food was. They also said the chicken was old lol. They should definitely try their own food every once in a while. read more

Not really sure what happened to this place. Its nothing like the other flaming buffet. This place leaves the food out indefinitely. The fried rice was HARD and even bounced like it was uncooked. They poured hot water over food on the buffet (chicken wings) to make it look like it isnt old and dried out. Selection was VERY limited and those selections were not very good. When we left we actually said to each other "what else do you want for dinner?" Haha. It was just cheap food and penny pinching decisions that are famous in low brow places. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It was NOT good food. read more

Great variety of fresh Asian fare. Clean and open environment. Good service. Fair price.

Sorry. Went for my second "post covid panic" lunch trip today, triggered by a coupon mailed by the restaurant for a $6.49 senior lunch. Yep, I'm senior. I can't do shellfish, so had 4 chicken types, lo mein, and tasteless egg drop soup. No drink, just water. Went to pay, cashier emphatically said they don't take (their) coupon, which they sent a week ago, so I paid just under $13 for a few chunks of General Tso's and teriyaki chicken. Bye bye, I go now. read more

Got flaming buffet via Uber eats. Got the pork low mein. They substituted chicken because they said they were out of pork. It was terrible. There weren't even noodles. In my experience, low mein has noodles. We got the Szechuan triple (beef, chicken, & shrimp). There was another sea food in there. I don't know what it was but it was not shrimp. The crab rangoon was awful as well as the egg rolls. The rice and the dumplings were the only things salvageable. The rest is in the trash. read more

Flaming Buffet - Pork low mein? Where are the noodles? - Chinese Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Food is horrible! Worst buffet I have ever visited. Just east in Richardson, there is a whole section of wonderful Chinese food! read more

First, the price: Friday 4pm. 2 adults, 1 soft drink, 1 water, came to $32 and change, not what others said aroud $22. Second, Sushi: there were only dried out sushi available, that seems to have sat there for hours, if not overnight. Some sashimi in the back. I requested them to a cook, but he was reluctant to give them out. Rest of the so called Chinese food were mostly dried and hard, fried food, or cookies (likely store bought) and desserts such as jello. Lots of eggrolls, if that's your favorite, enjoy. Poor quality overall. Spicy chicken wings appear to have come from Sam's Club bags. Just like the other location at Lavon Drive in Garland. I thought this new location in Richardson would be an improvement, but no, just as disappointing. read more

Visited today (Friday) at 2:30 PM. It appeared to be a "trimmed" down version of a full service. But.....OK. Food was just OK and even with a price of $8.99 I would consider a number of other choices. Additionally funny, I'm over 60 years of age and when I offered my driver's license I was told I could take the regular $8.99 price (which was their normal price between 2:00 and 3:30 PM) or take the "over 60 age price" discount but paying the regular price of $12.99. Whatever, again, just marginal food with maybe half of the normal buffet food items. Won't return. read more

Soft shell crab was the only decently seasoned/tasty food I had from the buffet. Ribs were terrible. Crawfish were overcooked and bland. Sushi choices were meh and the rice fell apart. Didn't try the hibachi. Place is clean (new) and service was great, food was often replenished. read more

Went to the Flaming Buffet this afternoon (8/24/23) and to be honest, I wasn't expecting much but the waitress Carmen made my dining experience a very good one with her kindness and humor! Thanks, Carmen and keep up the good work! She was so pleasant and kind! read more

This restaurant is great for many things such as ice cream, spicy ranch- the pink one, spotless restroom, etc. I definitely will come back soon and I hope your restaurant can improve these little things: 1/ like other chinese buffet, I think you should have chao mein sauce or teriyaki sauce to eat with the noddle. This noddle is the one next to the ice cream . 2/ Dried fish is one of my loved dish. Somehow in your restaurant, dried fish like standing there for hours, and it is oily. 3/ It will be nice if your restaurant can share wifi with customers. I'm hoping you will change these things Thanks. read more

Awful. Just awful. Went for an early dinner and all the food tasted old. The fruit wasn't ripe. And even the canned fruits tasted off! Crawfish tasted as if it was rotten. I would give this place 0/10 if I could. The minute we got home we threw up. Wouldn't be shocked if we end up getting food poisoning tomorrow from this place. read more

The foot was horrible. It was dry, cold, and unseasoned. The crawfish was old and bland. I am having food poisoning from this buffet and thrown up 3 times. The service was eh. And the ambiance was crowded. Don't go here if you want to get food poisoning and waste money. Go somewhere else. read more

Best customer service, the people in there are so nice. The manager is the best the food was so good. And ambiance was amazing.

Flaming Buffet in Richardson, TX....yummmmmm. Great variety of tasty food to choose from. I'm a fan of.....really I can't pick just 1 thing. I love everything. I especially enjoyed the boiled crawfish and the shrimp. I think the desserts are just the perfect nibble size. There's a hibachi grill to whip up your favorite meals. Oh, I forgot to mention the sushi bar- yum. The staff is fast and attentive. This is a gem people don't sleep on this one. read more
