Atmosphere: It's a quaint place inside and I noticed that the fake plants were dusted! THANK YOU! It can be annoying when you see a layer of dust on some of the decorations. Also - bathroom was clean and stocked. Something I sometimes forget to post, so wanted to make special point of that. Price: Middle of the road. Not cheap but not expensive. I mean, there are cheaper places in the area, but the selection and and presentation are worth it. Service: No complaints, came right away and didn't bother me much. Perfect! Overall: Making a review so I can remember this place when I come back to Tacoma. New favorite Pho place. Please keep it up!

The nephews wanted Ramen, so we came here on a whim…read more This spot is located by PLU (a university hidden in the city pretty much). So depending on when you go, there may be a lot of foot traffic and its street parking only. They are right next to Marzano. Once you get, there's a a few tables to by the register and then a few tables on the other side. But there is additional seating on the left side. But if you're a large party, it may be hard to sit together as the restaurant is on a smaller side. We ordered takoyaki, fried chicken gyoza, pop rock shrimp for starters. Then order the kids Ramen and kids shrimp dupbap. (If your kids/nephew/niece aren't a fan of sauce on their things, ask for sauce on the side.) Then I had the chicken katsu dupbap and my friend ordered the shrimp spicy Ramen I think. We were too focused on getting the nephews fed, we didn't take a photo of our food. Hahaha. The food was alright. The nephews loved the op rock shrimp so we ordered more of that. Service was alright and the staff was friendly.

Solid spot for a buffet if you come in knowing it's a Chinese buffet and the price reflects the…read morefood. There's a large parking lot but it's shared with Goodwill and all the other shops in the plaza so it can get pretty busy. When walking into Harvest, you pay for your party and wait until your number comes up. I came on a weekend during dinner time and although the waiting area was packed, it only took about 15 minutes. Inside, there's the main buffet area flanked by tons of seating. The food selection is pretty vast with an emphasis on Chinese food. You'll find something for everyone. There's a soda machine and tea selections for beverages. In terms of food, there's a lot. From what I remember, there was sushi, a Mongolian grill station (including steaks and eggs), noodle soup station, dim sum, pizza, typical Chinese food (fried rice, orange chicken, etc), roast beef, crab, fried foods, and desserts (cakes, creme brûlée, jello, ice cream, crepes, cotton candy, chocolate fountain). All in all, a really affordable buffet with vast seating.

A longtime family favorite, but an unexpected food safety concern on our latest visit…read more Harvest Buffet has always been one of our favorite places to eat as a family because of the variety, reasonable prices, and welcoming atmosphere. Unfortunately, during this visit, we found a maggot in the beef broccoli my children and I were eating. It was concerning, especially as a parent. I want to give credit to the manager, who was kind, listened to our concerns, looked into what happened, and apologized. He also refunded the meals for myself and my children, which I appreciated. My parents still paid for their meals because they hadn't eaten that particular dish. We felt that was fair since we still enjoyed the other food and didn't want one dish to overshadow our entire dining experience. There are many things we appreciate about this restaurant, including the variety of food, freshly cooked options, welcoming atmosphere, and how attentive the staff are about clearing tables promptly after customers finish eating. However, although the issue was with the beef broccoli, it does leave us wondering whether proper food handling and preparation procedures are consistently being followed. I hope management takes this feedback constructively and reminds staff to properly wash, handle, prepare, and cook food to help prevent something like this from happening again. We understand that no restaurant is perfect, and I genuinely appreciate how the manager handled our concerns. I'm giving three stars because we still enjoy this place and recognize the good, but food safety is important, especially when families and children are involved. We hope to return and continue enjoying one of our favorite family buffet spots, with the confidence that food safety and quality are being taken seriously.

(Cost): $30 + tip (Location): It's located near a very busy intersection and right next to a gas station. This makes it sort of difficult to find parking, or even get in and out of the place. The location itself is midsize and they have a good amount of booths for you to sit in. (Service): Great, the employee who helped me get my pickup order was friendly and quick. (Food): Honeydew Bubble Tea Slush (4/5)-- the boba was too soft and flavorless, but the drink itself was pretty good. Side Fried Rice(3/5)-- this was a very filling portion of rice. I got a side order because I wanted something light, but I couldn't even finish it. It was good; the taste reminded me of the fried rice from Panda Express. Tasted even better the next morning. Side Mongolian Beef (4/5)-- came with onions and other vegetables cooked in. It wasn't crispy like I would normally expect, but that wasn't a bad thing. Side Miso Soup (2/5)-- not my favorite. It tasted a little oily or maybe watered down. The traditional miso that I've had in the past is heavier and more flavored, so if you're expecting that this might not be the one for you.
