Love the atmosphere. The buffet is delicious and the buffet price is good. While in town I have ate her twice and have not been disappointed! Plan to go back one more time next week. read more

This is my second time eating at this restaurant and it tastes even better! I love the different options you have to choose from. It is so much food you can't help but get greedy and try your best to eat everything you see. Pretty much like I did, but that's a different story for another time:) Anyway, if you are a picky eater I am sure there is something here you will enjoy. The customer service was great, the restaurant was clean, it was crowded but overall a nice environment. I recommend this establishment for all the food lovers! The selection is amazing. read more

Lots of great food at a good price. I recommend Jasmine's for sure. The buffet was ample and each item was very fresh and delicious.

Amazing Chinese buffet nice waiters food tasted amazing hibachi was great a lot of variety just one of the best Chinese places in blythewood

Seafood is fresh and great. For the price is a great deal. Service is fast and good. For small town is a bargain

Food was terrible. I took 3 bites and asked for a refund. It all looked good and the place was packed. $66 for 3 people on a Sunday? Ok. No problem. Seriously. The food was cold and chewy. Inedible pepper steak,ribs and sweet n sour chicken were all cold and gross. I almost choked to death. Honestly. read more

Excellent Food and Service with various different types of food to choose from and it's not very expensive for your Family to enjoy. The AMERICA JAMSKATERS we come three times every week! https://youtube.com/shorts/BBmsSYLwSJA?feature=shared read more

This is a great buffet on the east side. The food is well cooked and they have options for a full range of eaters. I always test a Chinese restaurant by their sweet and sour chicken and they definitely passed the test. The servers were greatly attentive and our drinks were regularly refreshed. The seating wasn't cramped and the noise level was just right. There are a few more items to try on the next go. read more

Good food but their plates look terrible and ugly. Paint seems to be fading. Nice restaurant but plates looking like that?? The waitresses there needs to smile more. They look unfriendly. read more

Jasmine Buffet - Crawfish, fried rice - Buffets Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Place and food was great! One of the only nice looking buffets with mixed ice cream! The only problem is that the service was relatively slow but it wasn't a big problem. read more

Yeah, I'm a little crazy going to a buffet during the pandemic but I just can't help myself some times. Jasmine did a very good job with their COVID practice including plenty of hand sanitizer, a mask requirement and plastic gloves on each of the steam tables to use when handling the tongs. As well, the tables were a bit spaced out. Several good options here for proteins and most of them not completely covered in sauces. I was able to put together a decent plate of spicy chicken and spicy pork and some baked surimi (krab) with cheese. Flavorful but it did need some hot mustard to bring out the proper taste. Plastic plates and cutlery means even less touching and a cleaner environment. I enjoyed my visit. [Review 14759 overall, 260 of 2021, number 797 in South Carolina.] read more

My kids LOVE this place and I've never been but I've been to others that I thought were pretty decent. I wanted to see what the hype was so I took them out to eat. We went at 4 pm so it was before the rush. The prices were about the same as others and I think they're all expensive lol but my babies eat a lot to say the least so I can say I get my money's worth for 5 kids. The staff was nice and helpful and very quick. I like the efficiency! Since we were before the rush, all the food was full and looked pretty fresh. I think my favorite was the green beans because they were cooked well. I got some coconut shrimp which I was a bit disappointed because the breading was soggy and coming off. The orange chicken or whatever it was (I can't remember) was actually really good. My daughter ate her whole plate which is rare. My other kids had crawfish which is the reason they go there in the first place and my middle baby loved the honey croissants. Only thing I'll say is other buffets had more variety so if pick those before this place but it was good enough to feed my babies dinner. If you like to eat or eat a lot, definitely come here and try it out. read more

I've turned over a new leaf this year and going to identify establishments that racial profile people. How dare you Jasmine Buffet target a BLACK disabled, elderly woman veteran. If one identifiers (BLACK) were removed, that person would not have been noticed at all. Since the person IS BLACK, you guys went the extra mile to target her and threatened to call the police on her. Due to miscommunication between a waitress and the BLACK customer. After the party of (5) finished their meal. The BLACK women asked the waitress if she could get small containers to take the food left on her plate. The waitress instructed her where the containers were and the BLACK women and guest prepared to leave. As the BLACK woman was exiting the door, she was stopped and told she needed to play an additional $24.99 for the small container. With disbelief in what was been asked the BLACK women tried to ignore her and when threatened with the police being called, the BLACK women handed the container back to this person who never identified herself. With a satisfied smirk on her face, the employee turned around and forcefully threw the container in a trash bin. Wow! I know my fellow viewer will find so many excuses that they will Soul-Heartly believe that the BLACK woman may have done wrong. But ask yourself, would a WHITE disabled elderly woman veteran be treated this way? We got to do better! This whole event was absolutely unnecessary. This BLACK woman is a tic toc commentator and has a weekly show. She put this on her page, alerting her viewer of her mis treatment at this restaurant. Columbia SC is one of many cities with a large BLACK population, Jasmine Buffet are you going racial profile all of your BLACK customers this way? I, for one and everyone I know will not to visiting your restaurant. GOT TO DO BETTER! WE'RE SICK AND TIRED OF BEING TREATED DIFFERENT! read more

Jasmine Buffet - #bootytool - Buffets Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Food was very below average for the cost. I got sick after eating here. The boiled shrimp tadted off

I was pleasantly surprised. The food was good the service was amazing. It was a busy Saturday so the food and the buffet was being changed out frequently. The habachi grill for lomein was the best part. read more

Food is great it is really the best Asian buffet I will come back 5 stars the service was great ambiance was also great

When i do a bad review I wait after three visits before writing anything. Jasmine food and service use to be great. The first time we left a 18% tip on the bill before getting our food or service. We go no service we got our drinks half half into the meal and never saw the waitress again. (Calling her a waitress is being kind) 2nd time same experiences and when. I ask for a fork she pointed at a table. When asking for a napkin later she did the sane time just pointed. 3rd I had to ask for my drink midway into the meal. I had to go ask her for it. She was rude didn't say a word and handed me the drink. It like she was mad I ask for a drink. The food is good but when you pay 17 for a buffet you want a little service read more

Very good. Have been here several times and it is always clean and good. Would eat here again.

Don't believe any negative reviews!! I've lived in 44 states and I've been a yelper for over 10 years! I'm a foodie that eats out almost everyday and being from Houston I grew up eating buffets. This buffet is probably #1 or #2 best Chinese buffet I've been too. They show alot of love on all their food with great seasoning and flavors!! Whoever is complaining about this buffet needs to follow me around the country and I'll show them how spoiled they are with this gem right here read more

Excellent buffet! There's NO WAY you can have one of each item since there is a vast selection of Chinese and American food. Staff was attentive and friendly. Super clean restroom. Wish we lived closer read more

It's a pretty typical buffet restaurant. Sunday price is $23 for adult including the beverage. It was after 3pm on Sunday and had plenty of people waiting. I waited about 25 minutes. The waitress never came to refill the drink. Food is ok. They use blue crab clusters in the seafood boil which is very rare. I have seen dungeness crabs and snow crabs in the seafood boil, but this is first time I saw blue crab in it. Ladies room could use some attention. There were plenty of employees by the register talking. Perhaps they can divert someone to clean the ladies room. Probably will not be back. read more

My family and I loved this place. Due to the COVID restrictions, this buffet has created a way for its patrons to still enjoy the experience of choosing one's own delicacies from the buffet. They require wearing a mask and a plastic glove while handling the utensils at the buffet. The food was delicious and appeared to be freshly cooked. We watched as they continued to refill or freshen dishes that had been out after a certain amount of time. There was a buffet attendee that kept the area orderly, directed traffics, and clean. Their bathrooms were very clean and did not have a lingering stench (air quality was good). I would certainly visit here again, and I wish anyone who reads this to have a great experience as well! read more

I've been here over a dozen times (not my choice haha). They have a lot of the typical choices you find at Chinese buffets (fried rice, sweet & sour chicken, fried shrimp, etc.). They also have a made to order noodle/meat bar, small sushi section, and soft serve ice cream. Some of my favorites are the shrimp, house chicken, and glazed croissants. Food is decent quality, and they do a good job with keeping the buffet stocked. Service is friendly and attentive. Restaurant is relatively clean. If you're looking for a straight forward Chinese buffet with decent food, Jasmine will fill that void. read more

Cold food...hostess really discriminate towards black people. Mexicans can come in with their large parties and they can just sit them without asking ages, but my group of 7 you wanted us to to tell you the ages and ask to see them and of course add your 15% gratuity.. I understand if it's your company policy, but everyone should get treated the same!!! read more

Everything just down horrible communication like I'm allergic to teriyaki but yet he still used it

This is the best Chinese buffet you'll find in Columbia. The food is very fresh, especially the sushi and mussels. But if you get here at 11am, you'll get the best quality. There is a wide variety of items to choose from, including some American items like mashed potatoes (which I think they could do without). I would like to see different veggies besides broccoli and green beans. It does get a little annoying when customers coming in start having to line up to prepay and the line goes weird (like do we go out the door or across the door into the seating are??). But overall, I would recommend this buffet. read more

In reading all of the reviews, this was a stop we had to make. The restaurant was pretty busy but far from full. They have a nice selection of about everything. Several of the buffet items I chose were luke warm at best. I had hoped that with the small crowd that was there, everything would be steaming hot. Not! The restaurant was clean and had a good vibe but for me, it was just your typical buffet and nothing special. The best part is their selection, as I think it's one of the biggest buffet's I've been in serving this type of food. They even serve stuff I've never seen before (or would probably not eat). Maybe it was just bad timing as we were between the lunch and dinner time. Either way, I'd try it again but I'd probably shoot for dinner. read more

Jasmine Buffet - There are just some buffet items you just need to walk on by... - Buffets Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Said it before, but obviously didn't listen at all. But It says a lot about a Chinese restaurant that charges you before you sit down. Anyways it all turns out same way....No repeat performance for me, thank you very much. Maybe your lucks better? read more

They were so good I loved it and they have good service great food and is cheap and is so good I definitely recommend you trying this buffet

I went here with the family while visiting during the holiday. We were greeted immediately and directed to a table. The followed proper COVID protocols. They gave out gloves for you to use before getting your food. The staff was friendly and can I say the food was absolutely amazing. It was well priced for a buffet and the selection was plentiful. The bathroom was clean and the doctor was beautiful. They also had free parking. I will definitely go back. read more

This place was great, years ago. But I stopped eating there because at $8 it was too expensive compared to other buffets that were available (most now gone due to that ridiculous exercise in stupidity known as "the pandemic"). Recently, I decided to check it out again. The price this time was north of $14, which is just too much for lunch. And the food was just so mediocre (no, it was bad) and really bland. No more Jasmine for me. Wake up, Columbia. Put this dump out of business. read more

This was one of the worst Chinese buffets I've ever been to. From the start, the employees seemed very unhappy and dismissive. Lowest quality food, then it was clear it had been thoroughly dried out from sitting so long. And excess oil overall. The hibatchi cook was so rude. He didn't say anything but "come back in five minutes." I tried to get his attention after that to request lots of garlic and chili and he seemed to actively avoid acknowledging me. My hibachi came back with a very standard amount of garlic and chili, so I had to add more, which does not taste the same as when it's cooked with the food. And then I discovered a pool of oil at the bottom, couldn't even eat it. They never refilled my drink or brought more napkins even though my water was empty and I'd used up the three napkins for a while. read more

I tried this buffet spot on a recent trip to Columbia. They have a great variety of food to select from to include American favorites like steak and pizza, apple pie and others. Great family spot which offers variety. They even have sushi as well. The price is not bad if your a big eater ($19 with drink). Enjoy!! read more

Always good food!! I'm a traveling field service tech and every time I come to Columbia I have to stop by and have a plate or two! Excellent sushi and always tasty entrees. Very recommended!! read more

The dinner provides lots of choices and seafoods! And the taste is good as well! Will come again.

Crawfish was on point in a Chinese restaurant you gotta them stars... All the food here is great when fresh

Good buffet for Columbia. Almost everything tastes good but the general tsos chicken isn't spicy. The garlic string beans is really good and most of the chicken is good. The pineapple chicken is really good. read more

Jasmine Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Typical Chinese buffet food is decent and usually always hot. Service is ok depending on who you get also the buffet has a pretty good selection. I like the fact that the buffet rows aren't close together. So you have space to walk when other people are getting food. My problem with jasmine is when they seat you in the back and all you can smell is the, sewage coming from the bathroom. Which is disgusting if you're trying to enjoy your meal. I know they smell it they work there everyday yet haven't, done anything about it. My other issue is why have staff wear gloves if they are going to wear the same, ones their entire shift. I literally see them grab dirty dishes with the same gloves they serve drinks with. I watched my server the last time I went there clean walls chairs tables the leg of chairs probably even, her buff with same gloves. Then she proceeded to make a pitcher of sweet tea with same gloves. While using a plastic fork to stir it with her whole hand basically in the pitcher. My advice if you go don't drink the tea get a fountain drink. read more

The moment we entered the restaurant the workers were rude and seemed annoyed. Children 10 and over are considered adults so be aware of that. The food was okay but not great. The sushi was the only thing I really liked. The hibachi guy was beyond rude and needs Jesus. I went to the bathroom so many times after leaving the restaurant that I couldn't even enjoy the rest of my night at home. This was my first time visiting this restaurant and definitely my last. Please spend your 16.00+ somewhere else. read more
