Had a very enjoyable dinner last night. First time trying this place and the service was great, place was clean, and the food was good. Granted there are some things I may not have cared for but, that's the point of a buffet isn't it? options because not everyone likes everything. There is a large variety of food here, truly something for everyone. The fried crab legs were seasoned well and so delicious, could've eaten those the entire time! Had to stop myself so I could try other things too. A previous poster mentioned them only putting out very little lobster at a time, that was not my experience. There was a pile of the lobster dish as well as lobster claws on ice. Another gem about this place is that they have a cold case for ice cream, Hershey's brand ice cream cups and ice cream sandwiches in a variety of flavors. Recommend trying this place, I will be back. read more

Pretty good but you have to come at the right time of day or it's just sub par. I will be eating there again

My favorite buffet in the area, cute interior and wide selection of food! Everything they serve here tastes great, the sushi always tastes fresh which is definitely a plus. Quality is outstanding for the price and the staff is very friendly! read more

Been here dozen times now. Lucky for me I always eat before noon. Not too big of crowd and fresh selection. Today I came on for lobster weekend all day dinner buffet for 11.99. Man I've eaten 3 whole lobsters. They cut them in half and baked with butter and mayonnaise like the crab casserole. Pretty good. Raw oyster weren't that good. Hibachi has two different type of beef cut, regular cut like other places but they had small cube cuts with alot fat left on, really delicious. Egg drop and hot sour soup on point. Blue crabs were cut in clusters and dry seasoned and fried. Taste great and easy to get meat out of soft shell with finger or teeth. Today they large group at back private room which they have 2 area to host parties or big gatherings. I tipped my waitress pretty good cause she must have came to clear my plates 7-8 times lol. Overall pretty good. Will be returning asap. read more

food sucked, the eggrolls were stale and sushi was hard, oyster had green stuff inside of it and tasted like plastic, choclate thing had the worst chocalote I ever had. I threw up in the bathroom read more

WE ate there tonight, it was terrible. Even though some of the food had an ok flavor every thing was only slightly warm, to cool. The salads were slightly cool to warm. No the way I like my food! That environment is perfect for bacteria to grow in the food. Not being a fan of food poisoning, I will not return. I like my food HOT when it should be Hot and Cold when it should be cold!. There was steam coming up around the food containers but the food was still only slightly warm. The selection was expansive but not good. read more

The place is fairly priced and I love the sushi there, even though it is basic, it tastes good. The Hibachi is algo great, good selection of buffet food, but pretty much the same every day. The service is fast and friendly, not exceptional, but better than many asian-like restaurants where I have been. Overall, fair experience, no frills, just average decent food. read more

It's a buffet lol. That's all. It's not good, it's not bad. The servers tho, very very very nice. Still doesn't make the food better lol. But hey, it's a buffet. read more

Flaming Grill Buffet - Sushi Bars Near Me - Kannapolis, North Carolina

Why did I listen to Sandra... who said to give it a try? It was awful. The food was cold, everything was old and loaded with sugar. Why make everything so sickening sweet? And the lettuce on the skimpy salad bar was mixed in ice; who does that? Not that I usually eat salads at buffets, but I was reaching for anything at that point. Don't give it a try. Sorry Sandra, but you were wrong about this one. read more

Doesn't look like much from the outside and I'm not a big fan of Chinese buffets .... but this buffet was absolutely great . One of the best Chinese buffets I have been to. Large array of food and the fruits and seafood was fresh. I highly recommend the place. read more

Would have done negative stars if possible! I know weekdays aren't as crowded as weekends but the food here looked old. A lot of it looked like it had been dumped from a pan two days old. We started with sushi which was actually decent (thank god or the price would have been a total waste! $36 for 2) but all went downhill after that. My daughters chicken was dry and hard. Crab Rangoon tasted like it wasn't cooked enough. The rolls were dry looking but sticky to touch. The ranch for salad tasted bitter. The won ton in the soup was mushy. The worst part was as I was attempting to pick a dessert in hopes that maybe it could end on a better note, I was completely grossed out. A waitress leaned on an ice machine, took down her mask and made a phlegm lugee sound that made me gag. She then pulled her mask back up and grabbed a pitcher of water to serve. Needless to say we left immediately. I went to pay the bill and informed the manager. All that was done was "Oh I'm sorry" and I replied "We won't be back" never ever go here! read more

I can't wait to go there!!!! EVERYONE I ask on what is the best Chinese restaurant within 50 miles of Charlotte says "Go to the Flaming Grill Buffet in Kannapolis." My friend from Taiwan is arriving Nov. 6 and she will be ecstatic! Thanks for the chance to put in a review! Resident: Mooresville read more

We had eaten here before and it was typical for a Chinese buffet. We went back tonight and it was awful. None of the hot food was the least bit hot and most of it was barely warm. The crab salad was tepid not cold. I finally resorted to get Mongolian so that I could have something hot. That and the ice cream were the meal highlights. read more

Plastic in the egg rolls and someone backsplashed all the walls in the bathroom would not recommend coming here when we asked her about the plastic she said not her fault it's the place they get them from read more

Best hibachi grill around. Clean, eat healthy if you want, indulge if you desire. Love the grill with brown sauce and hot sauce. Hersey ice cream & chocolate fountain. Too good. read more

Really a big disappointment!! Food was stale and not tasty. I'll stick to the China Buffet for quality and price.

We ate our Christmas dinner here so that I didn't have to cook. Thank God somebody is open! They are doing their best to be covid-safe: gloves, masks, spacing, sneeze guards. I always start out with two plates and I fill them up. If I am hungry, I'll also take a bowl of egg drop soup (ymm). I probably put 30 different things on my plates to eat so that I can decide what I want to eat for 2nds. I can never fit 2nds in and very seldom, do I throw away any of their food because it is too tough or nasty. I never get to the dessert because the main course is soooo good! Their servers are very attentive and clean away your plates constantly. They are always ready to refill your drinks, too. Oh, wow! Now I'm hungry again. read more

Formerly this restaurant was the Hibachi Grill and Supreme Buffet that closed unexpectedly in April 2017. So after misleading signs saying the restaurant was being renovated, what really seemed to happen was it was sold and bought by The Flaming Grill Buffet. The restaurant did get a minor makeover if you call it a makeover. I liked the old way better personally. They took down dividers so you are seated very close to nearby tables by complete strangers. Also they removed many booths so there are very few and mostly tables with chairs. They officially opened last Saturday. Now to the food which was okay. The Hibachi Grill had a nice selection of raw veggies, beef, chicken, steak and shrimp. You pick out your selections then give it to the cook and he cooks it in front of you. The cook was very slow and had a big line waiting. He only cooked six people's food at a time wasting a huge amount of space on the grill. The former Hibachi Grill chef had it down to a science. He would cook 10 to 15 people's food at a time and kept the line moving. So finally he asked what sauce I wanted. I chose brown sauce not even knowing what the hell that was. Other choices were soy and teriyaki sauce. When I got back to the table I was excited to dig in. I forgot the shrimp sauce that I like to add on the top. I went back to get it, they have a white and a shrimp sauce. Both were in a big squirt pump and disgusting. Looked and tasted like mayonnaise. The food itself was good but bland I'm sure because of the sauce. The former Hibachi had this awesome garlic sauce that really made the food pop. They also have a big sushi bar that after two attempts remained mostly empty because the guy couldn't keep up. What I did try was just okay. Again I like to dip my sushi into shrimp sauce and theirs left a lot to be desired. They have a large Chinese buffet variety and some American food as well. This food that I tried was pretty good but nothing to write home about. The wontons we're rubbery so that was a let down. Chicken on a stick had a funny flavor that I didn't care for. I enjoyed most of the items I tried though. Dessert was another let down other than the fried Chinese donuts. Ice cream was little cups and bars that were boring. They have the normal selection of those little nasty cakes on the bar as well. They had a chocolate fountain with a few things you could dip into it. The chocolate wasn't even warm. Now for the prices which was ridiculous for the food quality. $10.25 for adults and $6.99 for kids. Way more expensive than the former and no way near as good. The drinks were around $2 each. Our bill was $48 for 3 adults and 1 child. Pretty sure we will not be back unless they make a lot of changes and drop their prices. Simply not worth it to me. I had very high expectations and was sadly very disappointed. Hoping the old Hibachi reopens somewhere. read more

We are in the process of moving to Kannapolis and Love Chinese so we decided to try them out. Well first let me say, the service was my favorite part, our waitress and other staff we encountered were some of the nicest restaurant workers. The food was ok and they had a nice selection. I wasn't a fan of the hibachi, the noodles were over cooked and hard. We came because of the lobster but was sadly disappointed when we had to wait an hour for them to come to buffet..and they literally only put out like 6 at a time. We were done and stuffed by the time the lobsters came out but we wanted to try them so we made room....we were sadly disappointed...mushy and over cooked! We probably would not eat here again. read more

Oh dear! Our China Buffet is undergoing renovation, so we decided to give Flaming Buffet a try. Upon entering, we were greeted by the hostess....in what seemed to be her nicest sweatpants. The place was fairly clean looking, but the decor was very...slim. The busboy had an issue keeping his jeans up and the little girl tending the buffet was too busy on her phone with her ear buds to notice the patrons who tried to get her attention or get past her. She wasn't even trying to talk quietly. I felt like I was at home and my teenagers were manning dinner... Almost thirty dollars for two semi okay buffet plates and Cokes. The egg drop soup was very good, I must say. Everything else resembled fast food with zero professionalism. I cannot go back there... read more

On Oct,21/2020 around 11:30am I visited Flaming Chinese Buffet located at 3000 Cloverleaf Pkwy, Kannapolis, NC 28083. Food that was cooked a day before was reheated and served on the buffet. The food was discolored burnt from reheating!!a Some hot food items were cold. Food is old !!!!EAT AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!!! After leaving I felt stomach ache and had to vomit. I hope they get a visit from the health inspector soon. read more

we went there for Thanksgiving. it was reasonable and fantastic. its better then the place in Salisbury. we will be back

Food is always cold. Some of the food, wings, egg rolls are hard, appear to be old and rewarmed or been sitting all day! I have went several times thinking it would change. Not again read more

The place was quite packed. Everything looked clean and the food presentation was beautiful. But once we actually tried it it was a great disappointment. Everything was not fresh. And tough and dried out. We won't be back. read more

Food is old don't have much food to choose from stuff iz under cooked the cups aren't washed they got stains on them the shushi iz bad the plates u gotta use r nasty they don't season the food place is just horrible read more

This will be an honest assessment of this restaurant. I have been here when it was the Hibachi grill and now under the name of Flaming Grill and Buffet. So besides those comparisons, I am a well traveled foodie. It is my deepest hope that the new owners listen to the advice given by their customers. Lets start with the grill part. So the yellow noodles need to be placed in same column with white rice because these are "bases" for your dish and this prevents vegetables/meats from being dropped in them. Now the brown sauce. This sauce is very bland. If they would mix the brown and soy sauces together then it might be alright. Also the shrimp sauce leaves a lot to be desired. The steak on the grill side needs to be trimmed before hand. Also the beef on the grill side needs to be trimmed before being sliced to thin pieces. The way it is now there is more cubes of just fat than beef. The chicken on a stick is also bland and ranges from cooked nicely to brick hard. Try adding flavor to them and cooking them more evenly. The Terriyaki chicken on a stick is better than what you have and has a great flavor. The other food on the buffet were more often cold than not. Then last but not least the desserts need to be scrapped and start new. I have tasted desserts from a Wal-Mart deli case better than what is offered here. The restaurant is fairly clean and the staff is nice. read more

Yeah, I mean, if you really are going to go to one these, you can't beat the price and the food selection. It's crazy on all the food they have here...dang. Hibachi grill, sushi bar, and everything else you could want...top it off with a chocolate fountain!!!!!! If you like to eat food...this is your place. read more

This is my favorite Chinese buffet. The staff is friendly, managers are kind, and my drink is almost never empty! Which is a big plus in my book. The food is delicious too! Freshly cooked and tastes good. Bathrooms are clean, and orderly. read more

Good nice staff. Food is good but I always leave filling stuffed. I guess that's a good problem.

Food isn't great. Bathrooms were not that sanitary, tables were dirty, and all together just wasn't a great place. I found a hair in my drink! Won't be coming back. read more

Gross lmao like 1-10 ...... -1 being nice the food just isn't it at all it's Pooh would recommend driving 10 more mins to China buffet off south cannon read more

went to this place on a recommendation! all i can say is that for a buffet,the food was very good..hot and well flavored. the wait staff was attentive to picking up empty plates,tea refills,etc. the place was very clean,hand sanitizer and masks provided,and gloves on the buffet line. next time i'm in the area,i plan to stop in again. all told,i don't think you can go wrong here read more

Our go to buffet. I usually get the hibichi grill and soup. There's some stuff that's a little mysterious to me, like how to eat the whole crab and such. But a generally dependably good Buffet read more

I went to this restaurant yesterday, the hostess was very pushy and the food was cold. When the temperature of the food is cold,I worry about food born illnesses. read more

The food has gotten a lot better since the re opening. My husband and I just got home, I can barely move so full!!! My drink was a Mt. Dew and was gross!! Bubble water! But no worries! Replaced with water and finished our meal! The sushi ! Omg! Have Ell now! Wasn't to bad! My husband loved it lol. Its where we went for our first date 3 years ago! Thanks! For a great dinner for this momma and daddy date night! read more

I don't know why this place is getting low reviews. All of the food is fresh, and the hibachi is delicious! The guy who cooked my ribeye cooked it to order (medium rare,) andseasoned it with Montreal steak seasoning. It was sooooo good! All of the other food was good too, and the table service was excellent! Give it a try!! read more

Food on Buffett was fresh. Will be back. Service was good as well. Wide selection of food to choose from. read more

They have added an "all you can eat" crab legs to their buffet for an additional charge. This is beyond false advertising and a scam. They have ONE small pan of them on a cart that gets refilled about every 20 minutes. So, if you're not in line when the staff decides to meander their way from the back and refill it, you're out of luck! read more

Staff was super friendly and the food was amazing. Everything was fresh, and hot or cold if it was supposed to be. All of the food (even the fruit) was flavorful. So happy that we stopped in here tonight. read more

Worst food ever!! Over half of it was cold. The best thing was the fortune cookie. My boyfriend and I won't be back!
