The food as surprisingly tasty. The service was good they staff removed plates often and refilled water without being asked. I've visited twice during my 3 week stay nearby. They also have a large variety of food options to choose from. read more

The food was fresh and well cooked. Some thing we're lacking spices, like crayfish. Some things were over salted like french fries. But overall everything was cooked to perfection. We went at 4pm, so Some dinner menu items were out like, but I didnt see any crab legs, blue crabs oysters etc. Not sure if they come out later at night. Also I wish their rolls had other ingredients besides surimi and cream cheese. Not one option with salmon or tuna. Also luck of vegetables is weird. I only found cabbage and some meat options were mixed with . No string beans, no bok choice is strange for an asian buffet. read more

The temperature of the food was cooler than I prefer, I like my food warm to hot. The workers were all quite nice and attentive to refills of drinks and plates We were traveling that day and wanted to try a local Chinese restaurant. All three of us were able to eat enough to be full but a few of the chicken entrees tasted almost the same. The rice none of us ate. The Hibatchi was the best part for me. I chose my noodles and what vegetables I wanted and he cooked it right up. It was delicious Ambiance, there isn't much of that. On the awnings you can see it reads what the last restaurant was. And the country cowboy deco follows inside to the Chinese restaurant. It does create much for ambiance read more

A night out at Ron-A-Roll nearby in Vernon prompted a pre-game meal at Hibachi Grill Buffet. Parking was super easy. A line to get seated but not a long wait at all. Super attentive service from our waitress Moon. Buffett selection was massive along with the fresh made hibachi and sushi. Make sure to leave room for desert - so many good options. Lots of seating options for singles or large groups. Great price point for a weekend buffet - under $20 per person is nice. read more

Hibachi Grill Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Manchester, Connecticut

Good food at good price, had a great time for dinner with a family of 4. Not the best Chinese buffet we've ever had, Normally, I'd give it 4 stars. However, given that this is the only decent Chinese buffet left in my area, & it's the reincarnation of our previous favorite Chinese buffet from West Hartford, I am giving it all the stars for appreciation, we'll be back. read more

The go to option is what I usually go for. I believe that the takeout price provides great value. This place is usually busy and has a plethora of items in their buffet. They have a hibachi station that I really enjoy, and it comes with a bunch of different sauces. The inside decor is actually pretty good and has a little bit of fanciness to it. I would definitely recommend this buffet! read more

Hibachi Grill Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Manchester, Connecticut

I stopped by for a meal here recently. 95% of the offerings were inedible, dry, lacked flavor, and truly disappointing. I enjoyed the wonton soup and vanilla pudding with peach slices. I believe I will never ever ever go back there. The noise level was way up there. Not for me. I eat at quality spots in general. Today was way off the mark. read more

with how high the google ratings were for this place (4.1 stars) i expected a lot. this some of the worst food i have ever had. i was highly disappointed. i didn't even touch the sushi because it looked like it had been sitting out all day. thought i would play it safe and get hibachi but the meat looked gross and old so i i got noodles, rice, onions, a zucchini, egg, and garlic and even that wasn't great. it was overly sweet and i got random hard pieces of i have no idea what. the chicken didn't taste like any of the sauces they were in but instead just gave a strong bland chewy chicken taste. i love a buffet but was deeply disgusted in what we got. ever plate taken back had almost all of the food we served ourselves still on it. would not recommend. read more

A fairly generic chinese buffet, getting hugged hard by the community. I've been keeping an eye on the locations around me, waiting for the new locations to start up so I can give them a try. This one was intriguing, hibachi and sushi along with your standard buffet items? Why not give it a shot. Lots of people think you got to sit and eat at a buffet. In most cases, you can get a to-go container and pay by the pound. It might not be as cost-effective as eating in, but it is quicker and you get a plate or two of all the little things you want to try to bring home. The place since I have known it has been very busy. there's always a line of hungry patrons waiting to get a seat and start eating. The decor inside is fairly pretty, lots of care taken to make it look very clean and exuberant. The food, it's pretty much what I expect from a buffet. Lots of pre-made foods on hotplates. The sushi area was unmanned, which I later learned was because the sushi chef they hired quit due to the massive amounts of pressure. The hibachi had a single guy manning the helm with a swarm of people waiting to give them their plates. The dining room was packed, and there was a ton of people in the waiting pavilion waiting to be seated. Some other key points: They charge extra per pound if you have any seafood in your to-go container. They have a last call at 9 pm. Meaning that if you get there after 9 they will not let you dine-in. Parking is a little bit weird, but PC richards typically has spaces if you need them. They also have a 60 minute dining window. So you get an hour to eat, then you got to go. if you go in expecting chinese buffet, it meets that need. it's cheap, it's plentiful, and it's okay. With the sushi and hibachi fully manned, this might be a nice place to try later. right now, it works for what it is. read more

They are finally open. They were advertising that they were open months before they really opened. I took out lunch from there. I was the only one taking out from here at that time, everyone else were dining in. From seafood section, I took 3 shrimp items and all were good. One which tasted like honey shrimp was the best. Chicken on my stick was my favorite item here. Spring roll wasn't as good as I expected.From dessert section, I tried sesame ball and crab rangoon (looks like). Both were good. I didn't like the hibachi that much. I went for beef hibachi, and beef wasn't as good, nor were the other ingredients. Icecream was in individual cups rather than scooping from a large tub. I went in at the opening time. Item names were all jumbled up. That is a huge issue if you have dietery restrictions. They have some rules which seems more restrictive than similar buffet places - like 2 hour table limit, no drink sharing even if it is non refillable, you pay for what you waste, $8 for anyone with 2 feet (babies reach 2 feet before 1 year). read more

You might have to trust me a bit when it comes to buffets. I've visited buffets over the years and all but one are amazing or good. If you've visited the Hibachi Grill Buffet when it was opened in West Hartford pre-pandemic, then you might like it here. It was Friday night...busy, crowded, parking full, a lot of customers dining in, what a typical start of the weekend. That's what you might expect through those nights. I get it! But the point of that buffet is that you might find a decent assortment of everything from Chinese food to American style food to sushi and seafood. There's no selection of Ice Cream unlike its previous life in West Hartford. The atmospheric decor is soundly amazing. The food is good. Decent selection of drinks. Prices are average especially when seated with multiple people as a group. Nice employees. Bathrooms are alright but needs more sanitization. A little long period of waiting time before being seated but that's okay. Just to let you know that that building right near Buckland mall used to be HomeTown Buffet before it closed in late 2010s but and you can still see the old labelscar on one side of the building from its days as HomeTown Buffet. I like this place. We as a family ate a lot of good food last night. I was very thrilled to see the buffet come back to Manchester although the one in Vernon (I live in this town) at Ocean State Job Lot plaza didn't look open and the food was disgusting so I am relieved that this was one close by but not the closest buffet from where I live. read more

I want to say you def pay for what you get. I came here twice and I won't be coming back. I rather just order take out Chinese food. I felt like the food bar was always messy and that turned me off. If presentation doesn't look appealing I lose my appetite. Yes you have a variety of food, sushi, and habachi. I think if they focus on the quality of food better instead of trying to have a big menu it would be better. It sucks we don't have good Chinese places or buffets locally. Have to go to a big city to get good food. I thought when they opened up, it was going to be good. I rather go eat all you can eat hot pot than here. read more

I was extremely disappointed for many reasons. First being they don't offer chicken fingers or coconut chicken which are the only two items I usually get. I got some pork fried rice. It was hard, dried up & clumped together like very old. They even had water boiling underneath it in an attempt to moisten it. The restaurant itself was so cold we had to keep our coats on & the bathroom was 100 times worse. I tried the shrimp with stuffing but that too was hard & dry so I went to get some melted butter. I asked 3 workers yet not one of them understood what I was asking for. They ended up not having any. When I returned to my seat, my plate was gone. Everything I tried was inedible, dry, had no flavor, so truly disappointing. The shrimp were so soggy, they too were inedible & just absolutely disgusting. Every container was marked incorrectly referring to cocktail sauce. There were three that looked like it but one was supposedly ketchup yet you didn't know which one. The ranch salad dressing too there were three that all looked like it could have been it but you had no idea due to the labels being wrong. I asked the employees as it was very frustrating, and sadly, they too weren't sure what was what. The entire ordeal in my experience was such an embarrassment as well as I brought my sister-in-law with me. read more

Hibachi Grill Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Manchester, Connecticut

About a month to two months ago, my Brother treated my mom and I to lunch here and had an amazing time. Yesterday my brother took my mom, sister and I out for dinner since my sister is only in town for the next few days and to celebrate me finding gainful employment. Like last time, the restaurant was buzzing with life and activity and is extremely popular with locals, especially on a Friday night when no one wants to cook! Anyways, the food was once again, phenomenal. However, there is a huge difference in what they offer at the buffet during lunch service and dinner service. The main difference between lunch and dinner is that there are more shellfish offered during dinner mainly clams, mussels, crawfish and head-on shrimp. During dinner service, they also offer American style barbecue which includes barbecued ribs, pulled pork and pulled beef, which I did not try this trip. This trip, I tried the crawfish and head on shrimp, both of which were boiled in some sort of Cajun seasoning that had a nice bite and kick to it and were absolutely delicious. I also tried the General Tso's Chicken which was both sweet and spicy and delicious. I also had my usual of potstickers, black pepper chicken, and ate my weight in sushi. Speaking of sushi, I probably ate my weight in sushi. It was very filling and the dinner portion is actually much larger than the lunch portion and they also have different types of rolls for the dinner service as well. Overall, my sister enjoyed her first experience and looks forward to coming back the next time she visits and I will definitely be back for dinner service. Lastly, if you do plan to visit here, come with an empty stomach! And yes, the question of "Are you open on Christmas Day?" Still stands. read more

It just is NOT like it used to be when it was in west Hartford. A customer complained that there wasn't a lot of food out and she told him if you don't want to eat here you can leave what. They told us 20 minute wait and it was. The food was not good. I had a piece of "spicy tuna" sushi and I spit it out, it tasted like it was a million years old. The pizza sauce was ketchup the rice was hard not fully cooked. Only thing that was good was the crab Rangoon and chicken fingers. The inside is pretty. But it's really not worth it even for a buffet the food quality is bad. I'm surprised I didn't get food poisoning read more

I'm not sure what to write as I'm confused where I just was...was it Chinese buffet or American buffet with Chinese thrown in. Started with the hot and sour soup, more like vegetable broth with mushrooms (tons of them) , tofu and some other things. Not hot and sour at all. Added fried noodles for some crunch which I got but the noodles tasted stale. Move on to appetizers, well tried to, not much in the way of what I expected. Pretty much tasteless. Had the fried cheese wonton, spring roll, teriyaki chicken (not really teriyaki), and a couple of other things. Only thing that had a little flavor was the egg roll. Okay on to entrees such as they weee. Had General Tsos, no heat to it, stuffed shrimp.,predominantly bread, broccoli beef, not bad, a shrimp dish with no name on to and the only thing that was spiced at all. Even the container marked hot oil wasn't, think it was soy sauce with green onion. Didn't bother to even look at the dessert bar. Plenty of American dishes if that's what you're looking for. They They did have the hibachi station manned and the sushi bar was full. But if you want good Chinese I wouldn't recommend this place. If you want a combo meal of everything you could imagine then this place is for you. Price was reasonable, staff are nice although speaking to them can be challenging. Place is kept clean and food is replenished regularly. Combination of table and booth seating will take care of any sized party. Unfortunately there will not be a return trip. read more

Love this place. I'm here quite often. All of the staff are so friendly and welcoming. Even if they're super busy they don't leave you hanging. There's lots of tables even if they are busy you can usually get seated. Everything is clean and organized. I love the food. Buffet is great but the hibachi grill is where I go. You can customize your dish and then watch them prepare it on the grill right in front of you! Lots of options even if you don't like hibachi. I have now gotten my entire family and a bunch of friends hooked on this place. Would highly recommend! read more

My wife and daughter and I had dinner. It was fantastic. Their food is always great and entertaining.

Food was so fire I turned into a human vacuum cleaner. I ate until my stomach waved the white flag and forced me to handle business before I even left the building. Zero regrets, just respect for a buffet that defeated me. Highly recommend. read more

We decided to try this place out for dinner.. unfortunately its not a place we would try again. The plates were gross and dirty. If it wasn't food on the plates, it was grease like they haven't been cleaned. The food had zero flavor also fresh rice that came out as i was grabbing some was not fully cooked. my fiancé ended up getting very sick in less than 12 hours from eating here. (Food poisoning per dr) The people at the front counter were nice but we ran into an issue where they gave the same number to 3 other people, so when they called up number 43, 3 other parties came up as well. Maybe I just expected a little bit more. read more

Went shopping in the area, and remembered it was a Hometown Buffet there, but it was a victim to Covid. Nothing special here, just a typical Chinese/Asian fare. Sushi rolls looked a little on the small side, more like something that belongs on a kids menu. Nothing special for variety of rolls, seen better assortment at other buffets. Wife had the hibachi. Items were fresh. She said they did a good job cooking it. Very good variety overall with the rest of food choices, but half the items are hit or miss. Like I said before, nothing special or outstanding. Service was very good. Food area was always in a clean state. Seems more relaxed of an atmosphere then when it was a Hometown, which sometimes resembles a pig out free for all when some fresh items where brought out. If you're hungry when shopping in the area, then stop in. If you're looking for better quality, then look someplace else. read more

Great tasting food no matter what time you go. It's always fresh and hot. Staff is super nice. Price is great for a buffet. It's just sad to see all the people who take food and waste it. Soda is pricey but at least you can refill it. Definitely worth the visit. read more

Good, old-fashioned Chinese buffet nothing like it. Good food. Really fresh for most items really enjoyed everything would highly recommend.

They have seemed to have hired new staff and more diverse staff. The result was that the service significantly improved from all servers and concierge/hostesses. Hibachi grill was excellent as usual. read more

Food was just ok service was horrible i felt rushed the sushi bar was closed and the habachi section was trash no shrimp no egg the beef was cheap and chewy the chicken looked weird just tasteless. The American food was straight up nasty the seafood alfredo tasted like mayo. The Chinese food was good General Tso chicken and the fried wings were ok as well i was tight they had no ice cream i wont be back this is just a regular Chinese buffet dont be fooled by that "Habachi" word cause this spot is not that! I gave it a 2 star because of the Price 12 bucks 15 with a drink and I guess i can sum it up as you get what you pay for!! read more

this is a fairly new buffet restaurant. It doesn't look big on the outside, but don't let that fool you. The buffet price is very good. This has become our go to place for Chinese/American / sushi. The food was always hot.It gets packed,. the Price for the buffet is cheaper than the others I've been to in CT. read more

I'm not giving up on the buffet closest to me now! So it seems like they have a better seafood supplier recently, with real salmon and tuna sushi, and dinner offering shrimp dishes (including my favorite, coconut shrimp) and they even have octopus salad in the salad bar in addition to mussels. I believe they've also added another chicken dish in the fried/eggroll section and also some beef ribs during dinner as well. Adding a star for improved food variety & quality since opening. read more

Normal buffet food experience. This is a place for a quick bite. They do not have Oyster or snow crab legs anymore. When inquire why, the answer is: "too expensive" read more

All the food choices you can imagine but nothing I ate was VERY good. I wouldn't go back.

This is pretty much your standard Chinese buffet that doesn't have crab legs or much seafood. It was unfortunate that I was unable to get sushi because they ran out of ingredients. However, the hibachi concept was cool. read more

Was a really fun experience with friends. Food was delicious and plenty of it cooked right in front of us!

Prices were great, so we thought. Service was non existent. The person walking us to our table asked us what we wanted to drink before we even sat. Drinks were dropped and never refilled (free refills are included). The hibachi is a great concept, laid out so you pick your ingredients, rice, veggies, meat and garlic are dumped together on the grill at the same time. No oil or butter. So steamed or warmed. onion and carrots I chose were not cut up, still remained in large chunk. Dirty dishes were removed promptly. Sauces are all located at the salad bar, no sauce dishes. large spoons are at the ice cream. No soup spoons near soup. Great variety. Poorly executed. It is possible to do it better, I have eaten at a buffet in the past 6 months and been quite happy. Crab rangoons have no crab and are sweet and soggy. Egg rolls were ok. Just sad it wasn't a hit for us! read more

Totally unimpressed!!!! Everything I ate tasted terrible. Even the lo mein was not good. Won't go back.

Food tastes ok to some good, but chicken and the beef and broccoli station was lukewarm to cold. Very good service and ambiance just alright. Just disappointed in food temperature. read more
