We went to the Friday buffet and it's excellent! We had oysters, crab legs and lobster claws and everything was excellent!!! If you had fresh oysters in Hilton head you'd pay $100 more plus tips. So for this buffet and everything you eat, this is a great deal! Everything was very fresh! read more

Paid $21.00 for the most disgusting lobster you could ever imagine. Service was good the atmosphere was fair to middling. The sushi looked old and gross. Did not look fresh at all. It was my second and last time there. Do not waist your money. I can't even think on how to describe the lobster. It was sickening and inedible. So nasty. Over cooked the point the meat looked like shredded yellow cotton balls. The tails were so mushy I was afraid to try them. Just over all nasty. Causes of black mushy and stringy lobster. I googled this. I should have taken a picture as well. 7 How to Kill, Cook, and Shell a Lobster | The Food Lab A black, soft, mushy lobster usually means it's not fresh, potentially dead before cooking, overcooked, or diseased (Epizootic Shell Disease), especially if it has a foul smell; if it's just a new molt with a thin shell, it's normal but watery, but the mushiness and black color point to spoilage or illness, so it's best to discard it to avoid food poisoning, as the meat breaks down quickly after death. Reasons for Mushy Meat & Black Color Death Before Cooking: If a lobster dies in the tank, its stomach releases enzymes that rapidly break down the meat, causing it to become mushy and discolored. Spoilage: A dead lobster can start to spoil within an hour, leading to that texture and off-color. Epizootic Shell Disease (ESD): A bacterial/fungal infection that makes shells soft and black, often fatal to the lobster. Improper Handling/Thawing: Rapid thawing in hot water or keeping it too long after purchase can cause issues. Undercooked Roe: Black, jelly-like spots inside can be undercooked roe (eggs), which should be red, requiring more cooking or discarding if questionable.

Ponderosa was better!!!!!! Not much to choose from pizza sucked, salmon smelled like chlorine. Only good food was the chicken. Ice cream is hard and they keep the scoop in dirty water so passed on that. read more

They make you tip before you sit down. The lady said that we could tip more after. We did not get refills and the food was cold and dry. For the amount of money you spend it is not worth it! read more

Highway Robbery! Bare with me for a second. You walk in and pay up front. So, I gave a $10.00 tip upfront on my debit card. I prefer eating the hibachi over the buffet. I am waiting in line at the hibachi and there was a young man around 12 years old in front of me. The lady asked "What kind of sauce" and he told her. He then said "Can I get two sauces?" The lady slid the tip bucket over in front of him. I was appalled for the young man. So, when I get there, she asked what sauces I wanted and I said "Mongolian and Soy Sauces." She slid the tip bucket to me too. I slid it back and said "I already paid the tip" and she again slide it back to me. While walking around the buffet looking at what all they had, I noticed they had multiple tip buckets out. What is wrong with these people? I said the the person at the cash register that I didn't appreciate having tip buckets thrown in my face after I already paid a tip. He said the tip buckets are for the people making that portion of the food. I said "you don't order a pizza and tip the person taking the order and then pay an additional tip for the person making the pizza." He just looked at me with a dumb look on his face. Be warned, they do not put soy sauce on the tables. The soda's taste terrible and they don't fix it when you tell them about it. The waiters and waitresses ignore you. The floor needs vacuumed. The lighting is bright and it is not loud, so you can carry on a conversation. Final thought, don't pay a tip up front. Put a dollar in the bucket at the hibachi. Put a dollar on the table for the person picking up your plates. Save $8 on the tip. read more

I love their wontons they're the best around, not much "Chinese food" a lot of regular American food. The service depends on the day, one day I got boba tea and the boba was rock hard almost broke my tooth. So overall it's a hit or miss going here whether it's good or not. Which in a restaurant should be consistent but sadly not the case. read more

The food was cold. The chicken was chewy like leather. The service was poor, I finished 3 plates with no refill. As they took plates from the table. $30 for 2 people isn't a horrible price at all, just wish the food was hot when it's supposed to be. read more

Fusion Buffet - Buffets Near Me - DuBois, Pennsylvania

Normally fusion is one of the first places I like to go in dubois, pa. However, today while eating lunch (that cost $21.99 per person) worms were found in their broccoli. When the workers were notified they said, "it can be a good thing" how is that even possible? $66 for 3 people to eat, finding worms in the broccoli and only getting $10 back and a "we hope you come back". You need to do better fusion and take accountability. read more

Stopped going!! hair on every plate I grabbed. the place is just disgustingly dirty everything's nasty. Wanted to try hibachi but didn't because the hood grates are black and covered in filth I don't want that shit dripping on my food!!!! read more

No crab legs, but the food was great for the price. They've got a wok, sushi, and regular Chinese food. read more

It sure looked good on the surface! Then we got to the table with our food. The "lobster" was most likely some kind of fish covered in cheese The crab legs were very small and very little meat in them. Some of the shrimp was decent and we enjoyed the California rolls! We won't go back! read more

As with any new restaurant that comes to town, I like to give at least six weeks before allowing it to make an impression on me. I want the establishment to have a chance to settle in and find their zone so when I finally sit down to a meal I am confident in receiving a good sample of what I'm going to get with each visit, if I choose to return. This may have been the longest six weeks of my life. If you know me, you know I love a good buffet and the buzz surrounding this place was at an extraordinarily high level. Finally, the waiting game was at an end on a Thursday evening around 5:00 pm. I walked into the place and was immediately impressed. Fusion presents very well. As I waited in line to pay and be seated I had a clear view of the complete buffet along with all of the invigorating aromas that went with it. This place seemed scream "Fresh!" to me and my mouth was watering as my excitement built up. I was also pleased to see a good number of employees on hand to ensure the food was plentiful and the customers were taken care of. It's always a great sign to see a well-staffed buffet. Some places don't understand how important that can be. The atmosphere was also top notch. The decor was simple yet somehow elegant. Sometimes less is more in these situations and Fusion nailed it. It wasn't trying to cram the Chinese culture down my throat but at the same time made me appreciate having an ethnic dining option in town. The Chinese music was also a nice, subtle touch in the background and I found it to be very relaxing, especially considering how on edge I can be at a buffet. The overwhelming amount of food choices can be a trigger for my anxiety and the soothing sounds had a real calming effect. When I'm at a buffet I like to have a lot of breathing room and Fusion comes through with some great floor space and plenty of elbow room. The only time I felt cramped was in the actual line, which is expected at a buffet, but I had plenty of room to step aside for a quick break from filling my plate to evaluate what moves I would make next. The dining area was spacious with tables in the middle and nice, large booths against the walls where I was seated. Very comfortable. There was a drink station in the room as well and again, plenty of staff ready to fill up your glass and take away empty plates when needed. I found the staff to be very attentive and polite. They really made this place hum like well-oiled machine. And now for my take on the food. I'll give an overall grade first and then break it down a bit for you as there's a lot to unpack here. Fusion offers an above average buffet. I was extremely satisfied with my dining experience. The selection was outstanding and the overall quality was great! There is no such thing as a perfect buffet since there is just so much going on but Fusion does an phenomenal job at creating a high level buffet experience. My first impression when I walked in turned out to be correct as the food was incredibly fresh. They even offer a hibachi grill which is a very nice and unique touch. I didn't get to that section this time as I wanted to make that my focus of my next visit. I sampled almost every item available on the dinner section, most of them twice. Each trip I made I noticed the food bins were almost full. Big points there as it shows an attentive staff. My "Highlights" included: Honey Chicken - The sauce on these were perfect. Potatoes - These were diced and man were they delicious! Ham - Bold move by Fusion to throw ham on the buffet. I don't see that often at an Asian buffet. They had a few small hams sitting there with slices cut off and it was succulent. What a pleasant surprise. Mac n Cheese - This looked amazing and tasted the same. BBQ Ribs - Perfectly done and the sauce was fantastic. Pizza - This is such a gamble to get at a buffet. It's a filling food and is rarely good so it's never worth it. This pizza was excellent though. Some pizza places in town should be ashamed that I can get a better slice at a buffet. Hot Apple Pie (with ice cream!) - You read that right. They have a cart filled with ice cream for dessert. 5 different flavors. I tried 3 of them and topped off my pie with vanilla. What a great way to finish! Almost everything else I had was very good. I can honestly only make one real complaint about the food and that was that some of the items I had were cold. I got a dumpling on my second trip and while it tasted great it was cold. However, on my fifth trip I got three more and they were warm. That happened with a couple of items but I find that to be a common occurrence at a buffet so it can be easily forgiven. Wrapping up, I would say Fusion is a great dining experience. In my vast knowledge of buffets I have found that your best bet will be at a casino. DuBois is lucky to have such a great option. The weekday price was $12.49 and $1.99 for a drink which is a bit pricey but worth it! read more

See all

The food was pretty good. Most was kept hot and refreshed regularly. I didn't see any empty pans or near empty ones. My favorites were the seafood mix - lots of squid, imitation crab, and shrimp in a butter sauce- and the green beans. My only complaints were that the egg rolls and dumplings were cold. I even went back a second time hoping they had been refreshed. Also, the honey chicken tasted mostly like ketchup. Others have talked about getting sick after. I did not, but the person who went with me did. So I would say you're taking a chance. read more

Lady at the front was dictatorial about masks and gloves from the instant we got there. Forced us to pay a 12% tip upfront for 6 people for a BUFFET and demanded we pay for my sleeping 3 year old. HORRIBLE customer service, caring ONLY about excessive mask procedures. No welcome, no "Is this your first time here?" She hovered around pointing out is she THOUGHT your mask was too low or who knows. No matter what the rules are, as an establishment that assumedly wants to attract customers...utter fail. COMPLETE FAIL. Tell me and show me that you even want me to be there first before going full court offensive with mask cop tactics. F -. You don't care about your customers when the only impression a first time visitor gets is that they need to have a Personal Protection equipment suit on for your whole family! We were watched like hawks and the experience was unpleasant at best. It's sad I had to put at least one star. Well! As I was leaving, I shared that their actions of overt mask and plastic glove enforcement made our experience quite poor, the cashier today (woman short with glasses) rudely interrupted me dismissively mocking "Yeah, buh bye!" This rude mentality is growing and it brings with it unverified and unwarranted fear being shoved on everyone that they come across. What happened to just being kind? We're all trying our best to follow these rules so when someone arrogantly and forcefully runs you over for an apparent misstep in their mind...then they're simply out of line. It sounds like they're new management now but there's a ways to go for them to get me to ever believe they care that I and my 11 person family meant anything to them. It's just not worth the trip or the money. Way overpriced for this treatment which half of us received! Not just me but 5 others of my family. F -. Customers (new ones with 12 people paying) shouldn't be treated like rejects. read more

First of all if you need to wear gloves TO the buffet ( which I have no problem with) they should tell you when you pay, not when you are getting your food and so loud the entire restaurant heard. (there was a sign, but like most, I didn't see it) Second the food was just plain and simple, not good! It was either tasteless or, well it had a rancid taste. Had to spit out and not just one thing, but several and not just myself, but my sister as well. I never write a review but the reviews are why we decided to stop there. The food LOOKED appealing but in this case "Looks were defiantly deceiving" So bad I WILL NOT waist my time (OR MONEY) stopping there again. Thank you for reading. You have been warned! read more

This is a quite nice place the servers are not very friendly (don't speak English) the food was good the gentleman who does the Habachi grill does a wonderful job it was really good. The lunch price is reasonable. We also did a Sunday buffet very good for the price. Definately will eat there again when I am in DuBois again read more

If I could give less than one star, I would. I don't know what happened to this place but it's absolutely disgusting. If you're in the mood for over cooked day old food, you should probably just eat here. We have a 40 minute drive home and honestly I can't tell if I'm going to vomit or defecate myself. This place was absolutely awful. If you do go, and decide to visit the restroom while you're there, plug your nose, or just go ahead and find a port-a-John at your local county fair, I'm sure it would smell better. read more

We were on our way back to NY and wanted to grab dinner. Searched for restaurants along the route and decided to come here! It has a great selection of hot foods, sushi and desserts. Recommend ending your meal with a scoop or two of their ice cream! The food was better than expected. Our waitress was attentive and nice. The Sunday night buffet cost was $15.99 per person. read more

The customer service here is below par, alongside the food. Cindy at the front register was extremely rude to my mother after she asked if she could pay separately than everyone else in the party. Food has no flavor at all, anything with crab in it is imitation. I mostly just wrote this review because Cindy needs to check herself, don't talk to your customers like you do. read more

Absolutely disgusting will never eat there again nothing was up to temp . And their cold stuff wasn't cold at all . This place is terrible . They need to be shut down . read more

I was here Friday, February 12th with my daughter. We were in town later than expected so we stopped in for dinner. The staff is so sweet and the food was DELICIOUS! Everything was fresh and so good! read more

My mother wanted to go there. I was not expecting much but the food was much better than I expected. Lots of variety. I will come back when I am in town. read more

Rude as soon as we walked through the door. Front lady (Not Chinese) was very rude and practically demanded us leave a tip on our card. We said no that we tip with cash usually her response was "if you say your gonna tip with cash we believe you" but you could tell she definitely didn't believe us. Our waitress was reaching over our plates and stepped on feet. Then we found a HAIR in our food. When I told the same lady at the front she questioned me as if it were our fault there was a black hair (none of us had black hair) in it. She said "are you sure it wasn't on the plate and not in the food?" It wasn't, it was pulled out of the potatoes. REGARDLESS there shouldn't have been a hair. she also claimed it was a "once a year thing" seriously... DISGUSTING! We used to enjoy going there, never again will I waste my money. $30 to be treated like crap. read more

Horrible service. The Chinese cashier was rude . Small selection. The seating is very weird. I went at dinner time and it was empty.so I'm guessing their service and selection is not only my problem. I will definitely not be back. read more

Went a few days ago for lunch. Slowly improving. They finally have pepper chicken. The first time they had it it was way over cooked, this time or was cooked good but wary over seasoned. Hopefully they get with it here soon. read more

Fusion Buffet - Steak is advertised but no available. Seafood at dinner is a joke. - Buffets Near Me - DuBois, Pennsylvania

I had my second visit today. Fairly priced and delicious!! I travel to Dubois occasionally for work and this is one of my stops. The pepper steak and honey chicken are my favorite! The lo mein noodles are perfectly cooked. Small pans on the buffet always being refilled with fresh food. Not a lot of options like this where I live. read more

Customer service was really bad. No one came and gave us refills so we had to physically go up to the counter and ask for refills after waiting 25 minutes for someone to check on us. Food was cold. 2 people from our group got food poisoning. Don't recommend going there. read more

Good luck finding a clean plate. It would be safe to say that probibly 70 percent of their clean plates have food debris on them. On one trip to the buffet I went through 4 plates before finding a clean one. They charge a mandatory 12% tip for a group and then seat the group separately. The food tastes fine. read more

Came here in hopes of finding something everyone in the party would enjoy. After being seated, we went to check out the buffet and all of the American food was old, and in the case of the mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese, crusted over, and cold. Got some other things that didn't look as bad, and took one small bite out of each and spit all of it out. It was disgusting. Proceeded to the front desk to inform them of the status of the disgusting food and to get a refund for the one person meal charge. It should be noted that there was not a single "No Refund" sign in sight. The lady at the front desk quickly began to divert attention away from us telling her that the food was old, crusted over, and cold by saying "you are the first customer to complain". We politely asked for a refund and we were told that they don't give refunds based on someone "not liking the food". The issue is that it wasn't a matter of taste, it was a matter of quality and they would not listen. After repeatedly asking for a refund and explaining that it was because of the state of the food being served, she offered a one free meal coupon. The kicker is that a drink was not to be included in the free meal. Safe to say we're not going back to this restaurant ever again, and I'd advise other people to stay away! read more
