    Mediocre food and mediocre vibes. This buffet is such a missed opportunity. However, given the limited on site food options at the casino, they seem to have a steady stream of customers. We waited in line for about 30 mins, which wasn't bad. The crowd was giving mostly Karen and male-Karen energy, which was made us want to get-in and get-out by the time we got seated. I ended up eating general tso tofu, clams, and mussels mostly. I also tried some pecan pie and peanut butter mousse. The tofu was good and had a little heat. The clams and mussels didn't seem very fresh, so I knew I was taking a risk in eating them. I did check out both the Asian and Mediterranean sections pretty carefully and didn't find much that looked exciting. I almost struck gold when I found the guacamole, but quickly realized that it was the shelf stable (not fresh) kind. Our server was good at bringing drinks, but didn't clear plates until late in our meal. Overall, I would avoid this place in the future unless I truly had no other options.

    Watery pasta from the pasta bar. Wasn't worth the attitude and 10 minutes it took

    Had the buffet package w/ crab legs which is a $20 up charge for 3 of the smallest most terrible clusters ever. The food is so lack luster and the pasta bar server had a terrible attitude. I stood there while she had no customers and then after 2 minutes she said you want pasta? You need another plate. Ok well isn't your job to help customers??? Especially at these prices. Never again

    First time here since they closed during covid and then remodeled. Seems like the remodel included new lighting (which I do like), painting, removing walls, and opening up the space a bit. It 'looks' a bit more upscale than before. However, the increase in price, which has more than doubled, is not justified with the food. They seen to basically have the same food stations. Though the Asian station, which was always my favorite, seemed to be lacking the normal variety. We were there on a Friday night, shortly after opening for dinner. I'd expect the food to look 'fresher'. It didn't taste bad but certainly was not exceptional. And no crab legs! There's nothing there that would draw me back. 2023-95

    First time at the Seneca Niagara Casino Buffet since before the pandemic and the restaurant remodel. In my opinion all they did is reduce the food selection and super jacked up the price. The one star is for the piece of prime rib I had. I will never eat here ever again and I highly recommend you don't waste your money.

    Pork dumplings and egg rolls (our appetizer)

    We enjoyed dinner here on a Saturday night. The space is large and open, with great furnishing and lighting. Once we were seated, our waitress was very friendly and added to our experience. If you judge a buffet on its cleanliness, then you will not go wrong here. I was impressed to see staff cleaning the food line areas constantly and quick to answer questions to patrons and re-fill salad dressing bottles. We really enjoyed the food and feel like we got our money's worth. We started with egg roll and dumplings as our appetizer with hot sauce + soy sauce. We tried the prime rib and went back multiple times. The brussel sprout mixture was a little soggy, but we enjoyed a few bites of it. In between we tried several other dishes including pasta, wonton soup, mac & cheese, baked potato, a clam tomato dish, and more. The dessert bar has lemon tart and we enjoyed 2 plates of it with vanilla ice cream. My only complaint was the check-in experience, they need to come up with a more efficient way to get people in to pay and be seated. There were 6 workers standing around the payment area not directing, not providing us information, and letting the line get up to 10 people who had no clue what was going on and why we weren't being helped. Eventually someone ushered us toward the payment area, and even then the cashier was not very friendly.

    We are two families with 4 adult and 4 kids (8,6,5 and 2 years old), and we were charged $181.96 for the dinner. 5 minutes after we paid at cashier, there came a tall, thin and elder guy who said he was the manager come to us, tell us by their "policy", any group over 7 people, they must charge a mandatory 20% Tips in advance before we can have our dinner. Thus, we had to go back to cashier and paid another $35 for their tips. Most food was cold, looked not fresh and tasted below average. The service almost equal to none, just one refill of drinks after we asked for several times. The waitress stood at their service station which was only 3 feet away, watching us eating with an expressionless unhappy face, which makes our dinner experience very uncomfortable. If there is a policy to charge mandatory service tips in advance, why don't they let us know and pay in the first place? Furthermore, the subtotal is $174.96. What is the additional Transaction Fee of $7 charged for since we paid in cash? If you really really want to try this buffet and have a group over 7 people, just break into 2 or more groups to avoid their "in advance 20% Tip charge policy". Or, with this money and tips, sure you have many better dinner choices in the area.

    My first time back since the reconstruction, there is still lunch and dinner options to choose from with speedy service and a smile.The have the pasta, seafood,Asian, pizza and soup and salad bar areas, plus favorites like potatos, baked beans, veggies, wings, nachos, French fries and stuffing .Many choices are available at the delicious dessert station where you can get many choices of ice cream or gelato,cookies,pecan pie, coconut cream pie,Boston cream pie lemon cake and German chocolate cake, so definitely save room for these incredible desserts.

The desert section is incredible and you will want seconds. Try the maple ice cream!

Was provided a hot lemon infused cloth to clean up prior to going up to the stations to eat. Cup never emptied without an ask for refill. Very attentive the entire time. We were sat in the 'C' dining area area. There were room upon room so there's plenty of seating. Each room with a slightly different theme. Ours had a wall of beautiful fish tanks. The dining area, food stations and bathrooms were all very clean, which is so important at a buffet. They even have gloves at the end of each station in case you didn't want to touch the serving utensils with your bare hands. The variety of food goes from everything you can imagine at a Chinese buffet like sushi and fried rice to American options like burgers and fries, to surprises in-between like New England clam chowder and prime rib. Tons of dessert- hard ice cream, cakes, pies, fruit, jello, even Crème brûlée and waffles. One of my favorite surprises was the variety of mocktails. Most places offer me pop as a mocktail or a Shirley Temple at best. Decent pricing. Father's Day special dinner menu was $50/pp (Canadian) about $36/pp (American) which is pretty great for all you get and that's WITH their high tax. I believe the refular pricing is about $10/pp less. A must try only 30 minutes from Western NY.

Another negative is the attitude of the casino attendant that stopped us from walking through with my 20 yo daughter. She had here carry a yellow card and stay on the red carpet. ( I understand this being under 21) but just her attitude of incredulousness that we were trying to pull one over on us. She should be fired! Not a good look for Seneca Niagra.

I've never smoked, so I notice cigarette smells easily, and wasn't bothered by it in our room. It *did* reek of cigarette in the lobby and around the casino however. Unpleasant. The bathroom was amazing with a large shower. Very spacious. Room key was needed to access the elevator and your floor, which was great (*cough* The canadian side Doubletree needs this right now *cough*) The US side of Niagara Falls is super sketchy and just for that I wouldn't be in a hurry to return - I also have no interest in casinos so there's not much for me to do here. Staff was polite. Overall I would stay here if I was on that side of the border.

    I had passed by this place a couple of times, and never really stopped. I went online and checked…read moreout the reviews which are all pretty bad except for a few four-star reviews. I thought I'm going to have to check this place out for myself. So here's what I discovered. The food is okay, not amazing but just okay. Probably the lowest priced breakfast I have seen in Niagara Falls. They do not offer you free water, it's all bottled. Coffee is 4 bucks, which is pretty standard. I think the modus operandi is this: they get you in with the cheap buffet and then up charge you for anything else you want to order. Which I get, the buffet is always a loss leader, and they get you on the drinks which are marked up significantly. So let's talk about the buffet itself. Based on what I read from the other reviews, the hot ticket would be to get there right when it opens. That way the food has just come out, it's fresh and hot, and there is enough of it. I had the eggs, the sausage, and a piece of French toast and a waffle. I did go back for seconds to get a bowl of fruit, and try out the tater tots. The food was okay. Again, not the greatest I've ever had and not the worst I've ever had. It was a perfunctory breakfast. But again I tell you you need to get the right when they open to get the best stuff. Would I go here again? I don't think so. There are plenty of other places in Niagara Falls that are way better for just a little bit more money. However, if you have a group of people you're trying to feed on the cheap, this is a place to go. Case in point while I was there, two busloads of Mennonites came in and swarmed the buffet. Bottom line? It's a cheap breakfast, and you will walk out of there for under 20 bucks if you just have a coffee.

    They offer breakfast until 2pm but by that point it's all leftovers. We paid full price for very…read morevery limited selections. We wanted to go to iHop or Dennys, but decided to give the local breakfast buffet a chance, horrible idea. The food was hard and stale. The only thing made fresh was the tater tots which is the only thing on my whole plate that I enjoyed. Also, almost $6 for the tiniest serving of orange juice. Service was okay. They were nice but definitely rushing us, even to pay. Ambiance was okay. Bright and peaceful. Also, I did not check the reviews before going.

    It's the kind of All You Can Eat Asian and American Buffet that Buffalo can afford. Honestly, I…read morecan't recall a better one. There's another buffet in the area that people generally like, but I've never been there. We visited Amherst Buffet last in September 2023 to check out their new location. I don't really know why, but we never went back. After today's visit, maybe I know why. They moved again! This time they took over the building where the Chinese grocery store used to be--Ni Hoowa. We were very curious and couldn't wait to see inside after the transformation. On Thursday around lunch time, this place was packed. It was shocking to see it, because there is a very large dining room area and it was almost fully occupied. I asked about a booth, and the hostess actually spent some time finding one for us in the perfect spot. I should start my review by saying that all the servers, and working crew were very nice and friendly. The food looked good. For lunch, there were typical dishes, nothing crazy. From two kinds of soup (hot and sour was nothing special), appetizers, lots of chicken, some pork, shrimp, fish, clams, of course rice, noodles (even Shrimp Alfredo). Also I saw pizza, fries, fried chicken looked awesome, wings, mac & cheese, etc. Let's not forget about desserts and fruits. The melons were perfectly ripe and delicious. If you enjoy Chinese Buffets, be sure to stop by and check this place out for yourself. I'm certain that at this price point, you'll have nothing to lose. The visit could turn out to be a really fun experience. I almost forgot, there is also a Hibachi Station on-site where a chef prepares dishes to order. What actually turned us off was 'Salt Overload'. Why do they use so much salt?! It's possible to avoid the most sugary sauces, but salt? The food would be tastier without too much salt, or MSG? (OMG!). The sushi was also a disappointment. There was hardly any of it during our stay, and what I did try wasn't good. One day I would definitely check Amherst Buffet during dinner hours, just to see what's cooking. P.S. Today was the official last day of school for students so that's why this place was full of families and kids. They celebrated :).
