A friend I met after some years for lunch suggested a buffet place. I entered the address and ended at this place. At first, she was disappointed it was not her usual place. Well, we went in and were promptly seated and pleasantly surprised by the set-up and the amount of food displayed. A few trips to sample some known dishes and a few new ones(tiny fried cheese wonton). All delicious, hot and readily replenished. A Hibachi grill is on location. Ice cream machine too. We were very happy with the experience and the food. Prices are moderate and service was attentive and friendly. Clean environment. read more

Friendly Chinese Buffet - Chinese Near Me - Buffalo, New York

This buffet cost us $65.22............................ for three people. I can't believe what I'm going to write right now, but "the goons" and egg rolls were among my favorites of the meal. I simply couldn't find anything else that was actually more desirable. The fried crabs were tricky to eat. The only clams they offered were the large "cherrystone" type. They were soaking in water and had a rubbery texture. The marinated chicken skewers were (I think) coated in a "five-spice" blend that I didn't care for much. The stuffed mussels were topped with mayonnaise. The beef dish was inedible. The meat was very tough and not possible to chew. What else? The sushi was very cold and obviously not freshly made. After a closer look and a short debating with myself I decided not to eat it for safety reasons. The dish with wasabi was right next to--very close to--the raw chicken from the hibachi station. No seaweed salad, sesame balls or Manila clams, my favorite items at Chinese buffet. Good things? I surprisingly enjoyed the crawfish with butter. I found a butter product next to the corn. The breaded fish wasn't bad. The green beans were tasty. The best thing about this buffet was that the food I tried generally wasn't too salty. We also had a decent server Tom, lucky us. We saw that unpleasant manager who the Yelpers had complained about before. She really does exist. It was Sunday dinner, big times! Entire families arrived with lots of children. It was crowded, noisy and kind of messy. This place is just a 'no' for me. read more

This is normally our go to buffet but not anymore. Very rude service. We went during lunch hour and as normal server only cleaned the old plates. Again I'm not asking for more since that's what a buffet is. However, We have also been feeling my extremely rushed to leave the past few times. She will also keep walking by staring at the receipt she gave you while you were in the middle of eating and it feels like they don't want you there. When we checked out we gave 15% tip (which i understand isn't the regular 20% but when you're only clearing my dishes I don't really see the need to tip full 20 -someone who is a server) However it's what she did that really made me upset. As my grandma was getting up from the table she rushed over in front of her and counted the cash tip in front of us, stared at us then heavily sighed and stormed off. I understand if you're upset but displaying the cash in front of us and counting it multiple times isn't going to get you a better tip either. Won't be returning after this. The food isn't good enough to feel like they want you to leave. I will say it's only the one older woman that has ever given me issues. Everyone else seems very friendly. I want to mention after reading all the reviews it's the SAME issues and it must be the same woman. - rushing you out after giving you the bill barely 20 mins in. - will not accept any tip less than 25% and will be mad straight to your face - awful service I'm confused why the restaurant won't address this? read more

Hard to believe I haven't Yelped Friendly since 2016. Pretty sure I get out there at least once a year. Guess it was Frank's 80th birthday lunch that's telling me to Yelp it now. Still Friendly, after all these years, and a very good Chinese buffet. What was really different this time was some menu changes to the lunch buffet. They had eggplant in garlic sauce-- delicious. They had egg fu yung, with pork gravy at hand. Also very good. Have never seen either of those at a Chinese buffet before. We were there a week ago, so not surprising that I don't remember the third item that was new to the buffet scene. But I have to mention that the green beans, a buffet staple, were perfect. The only fish, however, was a fried fish, tilapia, I think. Frank, a mostly vegan guy, enjoyed a lot of shrimp, but missed mussels and clams. I'm not going to tell him, but if the eggplant in garlic sauce was instead of mussels, I was happy. Every hot dish was hot enough and every cold dish cold enough. There are a lot of good Chinese buffets in the Buffalo area. Friendly is one of the best. read more

Rude servers to everyone the food was not good hire new servers and very messy restaurant

Food is descent Chinese food. Remodeled buffet and dining area very clean. One issue for me this lady visit I ordered Steamed Dumplings to go and they were under steamed causing breakage and nasty taste. read more

Friendly staff, good food and clean. My favorite Chinese buffet in the area. Has some kid friendly items as well

My family and I have been going out to eat here for years. We have always had a great experience from the staff to the food. We went for our first time in a while today and its the total opposite. Food was bland and the staff was horrible. They were very polite but that was outweighed by their constant hovering once they brought the check. She stood and watched us until we gave her our card to pay then stood​ over us some more and we finally realized she was waiting for her tip. They practically pushing us out the door. WE WERE THERE FOR LESS THAN A HOUR! Between okish food and the horrible staff we will not be back. read more

Been to many Chinese Buffets, By far this has been one of the few best. Friendly, good customer service, high turnover food. My favorite is Hibachi grill, cooked in front of you. Included in meal. Value for the price, you leave fulfilled and satisfied. Good job! read more

It's very important to have hot food in the buffet - this place succeeds. The majority of the food is served warm to hot. Especially the soups. downside is there was no baked codfish or whitefish option. read more

Not good. Went there for lunch - nothing was fresh. It tasted like they reheated the leftover buffet food from the night before.

You can't have high expectations for buffets but this one sets a good standard compared to others in the area. Clean, fresh, great servers I'm not understanding why it's only 3 stars they deserve more read more

This is the second review I have given this fabulous Chinese Buffet Restaurant I just saw someone gave it 3 stars I was shocked to see that !! There is such a variety of food from wanton soup to crab legs and crawfish to roast beef !The waitress is always great no matter which one takes care of you they give senior discount let me say one thing this restaurant should get 10 stars oh yes it's so clean like I said in other reviews you can always tell how clean the kitchen is from the restroom my dad taught me that god Bless Debbie read more

Absolutely delicious!! always a fresh varity of American/ oriental foods, salad, soups, desserts & ice cream. service is good & friendly. willing to please. we'll managed & consistence seafood is select dates & time we love the fun fortune cookies too 4 star. read more

This month we just did take out but have eaten here many times. Food is always good quality. We just ordered white rice, sweet and sour chicken and Mei Fun shrimp noodles. The Chicken was so good and large pieces. We ended up eating everything for lunch the next day! Part of the reason we order out for the leftovers and it was crazy busy for dining in. Hence the 5 stars everyone loves this place. They have a wide variety in their buffet and that is why it is so good. There is always something for everyone. read more

One of my favorite places to eat. I love the variety on the buffet and the food is nearly always fresh and hot. There have been very few times that I was disappointed in the temperature of the food, and it was only one small section of the buffet table that seemed not to be working correctly. The service is okay, some of the wait staff is very friendly, while others seem they couldn't care less. The restaurant itself could use updates, I've been eating here for the last 20 years and most things are the same. New carpeting and reupholstered booths would be a perfect start. Haven't had any major issues that would keep me from coming back though! read more

They are my all time favorite place to eat!! They are handicap accessible, I'm in a wheelchair with a service dog and I can get around pretty well, they have two sets of bathrooms one with two stalls one of which is handicap accessible and then private bathrooms back, they also have captions on the tv's. The staff is great they are all very nice and friendly, they're great with clearing dish and keeping drinks filled. The food is always hot and fresh, I love going to the grill to have them cook. They are typically quiet and even when they are busy they aren't that loud! read more

Buffets suck unless you're a sow. This place, however, really puts out frequent fresh offerings of mostly good to excellent quality food (aside from their friend rice. I don't know how to mess that up). Not sure why I'm writing this since, having lived in several places in the Pac Rim, its obvious to me that Asian restaurants don't care about your opinion. (Note this listing is unclaimed). That said, they really clean the place constantly including the booths and floors each time a party leaves but the furnishings and decor are starting to look like someone beat the place up with a heavy chain. read more

After reading great reviews me and my husband chose to come here to celebrate a friend's birthday. I enjoyed the way the restaurant looked plus we had no issues but my husband ended up finding hair on his chicken. He then went to address it with the woman running the register but she chose to give him half off on his meal but then proceeded to tell him not to do it again and that they have a camera so we need to stop! We were more than ready to get another plate because accidents happen but the way they chose to blame my husband ruined the entire experience! drove a hour to eat here. read more

Visited on a recent friday night and was amazed by the wide varirty of foods and clean and professional presentation. Everything was well stocked and seemed to be replenished well before the pans were empty. Loved the plentiful shrimp ! read more

The food was cold and tough and they are not nice will not come again the ice cream cone was not good

Probably my favorite Chinese buffet . Very clean and friendly service (I mean it's in their name so it better be!) The selection of choices goes on forever ! $15 for a holiday buffet is an excellent price . My only complaint was that the crab clusters were hard to open ! But everything is replenished regularly . They even have hibachi service included in the price . There is something for everyone there (it is a bit weird that the Mac and cheese there is one of my favorite items, but it's tasty!) Check it out! read more

Best Chinese food in the area. Everything is always great. Buffet is always stocked. Whether I go in to eat or take out, the food is always good read more

Food is good and the service is good too I would recommend this place to my friends

Here's another family favorite! We still patronized the establishment during quarantine as they served takeaway preset bento boxes, but it's wonderful to be able to enjoy the buffet again. Saturday evenings they offer select seafood options. Last night they offered blue crab, crab meat with melted cheese and spring onions, salmon, and a few shrimp options including fried fantail shrimp and battered shrimp in a sweetened coconut sauce. As far as following safety guidelines, we were greeted by serving staff in masks and gloves. We were handed disposable plastic food-grade gloves to use when we went up to the buffet. Also, the former dessert display has been removed to allow for divided seating. Tables in the center of the restaurant (main seating area) have plastic dividers at the ends of the tables, to divide walkways and where customers are seated. Missing one star for no beef & broccoli and much higher dining prices post-COVID. read more

Clean inside except bathrooms which are gross and look dirty. Food was good and staff friendly.

All the food trays were either empty or almost empty, and we got there 2 hours prior to closing. With what was presented, half of it was cheap American food or junk from the dollar store(who goes to a Chinese buffet for mashed potatoes and apple pie and 75% of the desserts were from the dollar store next door ). The waitress was very pushy about clearing the plates. She brought us the bill before I even finished my first plate. I asked a person who was bringing out food where the plastic takeaway sauce containers were for the sushi sauces, and she just rudely flailed her arm. I had no clue what she was trying to tell me. Come to find out, the containers were stocked behind the register because that makes sense. This is the first time I left a buffet still hungry. read more

Food was ok, service was ok, ambiance was ok. Overall, about what you've come to expect from a Chinese buffet. One standout: Best Chinese buffet chicken wings I've ever had. read more

My favorite buffet in all of WNY! These guys aren't trying to fill you up quick with breading and MSG, nah these guys just wanna feed ya delicious food. Seriously an AMAZING buffet. Pretty much everything from the ribs to the warm apple pie is amazing. They do several chicken dishes that are great including pineapple chicken. The place is large with a ton of booths. The selection is vast. There is a hibachi grill, a sushi bar, a salad and cold dishes area, an ice cream station with like 10 flavors, there is candy. This place is great. Check it out. $12 a person but they always have the Value Pack coupons that come to the house for 10% off. Can't go wrong. Highly recommend. read more

Food was very good & hot & fresh. Restaurant was very clean. Went for lunch buffet. Would like to try dinner sometime to see the difference.

Food was a better selection for the buffet. Food wasn't dry like the other buffet we went to. Also I like they have different variety of ice cream. My kids ate more because it had more choices. Waitress was faster. read more

This is hands down the best Chinese Buffet i've ever been to. I've been to many before and none had hot fresh food, nor proper cleanliness like this place! I'd look around and see workers cleaning, workers bringing out hot fresh food. All of the food served here was phenomenal, The size of the general tsos, pineapple chicken etc here was big as well! I go to other buffets and they have small portions of food. No this place had big portions it was amazing! So many options to eat from as well. The staff was so kind and friendly. Has it right in their name! Don't get me started on the mini clams, the taste was soo delicious and full of flavor. Very glad we came here tonight. read more

all five of us got food poisoning on Sunday, January 23, 2023 This used to be a great place, but we can never go there again. We had a terrible today or deal with this food poisoning and it was everyone of us that was at that table got it. read more

The food is average at best. It's a buffet but the service is good. The ambiance is also average. If you're looking to have Chinese cuisine, find somewhere else. I really wouldn't recommend this establishment to anyone. Sorry. read more

My first time here, I will go again! One of the BEST Chinese Buffets in the Buffalo, NY area. The food choices were numerous, and the food was fresh and hot. The desert area was great! Our server was attentive, polite, friendly and very present. He kept our drinks filled, and took away our used plates in a timely manner. I came dad enough good things about this experience. I will spread the good word, and definitely return! Oh, and don't forget to leave your server the appropriate tip! They are much better than some other Buffett places!! read more

The name of this restaurant caught my attention when I sought for an Asian buffet to eat at today. Employees at others often haven't been that friendly. I believe this one lived up to its name. The workers here seemed to smile more. They had a good variety of foods, a hibachi grill, and eight choices of ice cream (including two of my favorites: cotton candy and cookies & cream). The sushi selection could've been better. I also noticed some of the plates had specks of food on them. I grabbed clean ones underneath to use. Otherwise, this is an OK place to eat. I might come back here when in the area. read more

Honestly was slightly disappointed with the buffet here. I have gotten takeout from here for a long time and have previously had the buffet. My grandma and I wanted to go somewhere close for dinner so we opted for the buffet. We went in a Sunday and the whole day it is the dinner menu with dinner price. The buffet itself was 20 dollars each after with tip and tax. I thought it was a little pricey for the quality of the food. Mostly the buffet consisted of classic American and American Chinese food. Some of the items I enjoyed were lo mein. Pineapple chicken and chicken skewers. Although I would've like to try their sushi, To me the food seemed like it had been left out a while and a lot of the chicken pieces were very fatty. Their takeout food seems to be higher quality than their buffet so in the future I think i will stick to takeout. Overall not a bad experience but for someone who doesnt eat a ton, I feel like we didn't get our money's worth here. read more

The best Chinese buffet in the southtowns. There is such a vast amount of food choices. The food is always hot. They rotate the selections every once in a while to keep things interesting. Lunch and Dinner Buffets are different also. Friday and Saturday dinner offers all you can eat crab legs but people will actually wait there for 15 minutes at the station waiting for them to bring out more crab and then take it all. That's frustrating but not the fault of the restaurant. I highly recommend the rice noodles (Mei fun), it's so good, especially when you top it with the seafood delight shrimp! They also have a garlic eggplant dish that they only serve at lunch time which is my absolute favorite! They offer so many different desserts including Perry's ice cream. This is one of the only places I know that has Moose tracks ice cream! The best desserts are hidden randomly on the regular buffet station rather than being at the dessert table. Try the apple pie and banana pudding! The prices are totally reasonable and the service is on point. Sometimes the waitresses are too attentive and will try to take your plate before you are done or fill your water right after you take a sip. But can you really complain about that? read more

I'm usually not big on buffets to be honest. A lot of the time the food isn't fresh because it's been sitting around for a while, and a lot of them are pretty expensive and I don't feel like I'm able to eat enough for them to be worth the money. Not this one! We went for lunch and their prices were very reasonable. It's honestly worth going here for 3 things in my opinion: wonton soup (with extra green onion + soy sauce), rice noodles, and fried dough with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This is my idea of a delicious meal at this place without overdoing it. The food is always hot and fresh. I've tried a lot of the other foods they have available (there are a lot), and I really liked pretty much everything. If you're a buffet lover, I highly suggest trying this place out! read more

The food is good but never very warm. It is a buffet so I imagine that keeping a lot of food warm all at once would be quite a feat. I suggest coming during the busy dinner hour when they have to keep refilling the stations as this is when you know you will get fresh hot food. The service is very friendly as the name suggests. read more
