We used to regularly eat at a wonderful Chinese buffet in Middle Tennessee and thought we'd try this one. Servers were quick and attentive with beverages and refills. The buffet is well lit, clean, and frequently replenished. While some of the food was ok (really enjoyed the mushrooms and green beans, and the stir fried bean sprouts were my absolute favorite thing), the rest of the food was mediocre and hit or miss. We did not try any of the sushi. Many dishes were cold or lukewarm (egg rolls, crab Rangoon, shrimp in garlic & butter) and the chicken in some cases was not cooked all the way through. Based on this visit, probably wouldn't return. read more

$24.99 for the Sunday buffet all day. Extra $12.99 if you want crab legs. Food was good and they did a decent job of keeping the trays filled during lunch. Staff was working hard clearing plates and filling drinks. Everything from sushi to fried chicken to pizza to desserts. Worth a try if your in the vicinity. Make sure to take care of the servers as buffet works are some of the hardest working and underappreciated in the business read more

As first time customers, my family and I from the time we walked to the time we left .... what can we say but we loved it. The place was nice, the place was clean, the staff was nice and attentive, and the food was excellent. It was a buffet but it didn't feel like one. Really nice place to eat with the family. Great job Joy Luck Buffet! read more

Went here because we are looking for a buffet with a good selection of seafood. Came in a weekend which is all day dinner pricing. The seafood selection is mediocre overall. No snow crab legs even though there is a sign for it. Salmon Sashimi is a bit stale unfortunately. Oysters are huge and they do a good job of bringing them out. Turbot is also very good but it takes them forever to bring it out. Everything else is just average or below average. Service is attentive and excellent. read more

Just finished lunch at the Joy Luck Buffet in Port Orange and I am stuffed. They have an almost awesome selection. There is seafood, ribs, Chinese, sushi, fried foods, salad and dessert. The sushi is decent, although the roles were not wrapped well, some fell right apart. There were a good amount of veggies, my favorite was the green beans and the mushrooms. They had green mussels in a spicy ginger sauce and black mussels in a red sauce. I stuffed myself on those. There were a lot of dessert options, but none I was particularly interested in. I had some fresh pineapple. Really wished they had watermelon and the ice cream was all artificially. For the price it was well worth it. Especially for lunch. I will return one day because I enjoyed myself. read more

It's OK it's not the best buffet in the world, but definitely one of the better ones.

Just an overall bad experience with my family they were disrespectful at the start and then the food was freezing cold and when we said somthing about it all they did was mix around the food. I would not be bringing my family here again. read more

This is my favorite Chinese buffet not only in Daytona area, but anywhere I've been to. read more

DH and I have been thinking about trying out this buffet but we weren't sure. I'm glad we did! We went at lunch on a Monday. The restaurant is clean, nicely decorated and the staff is continually bringing hot food onto the buffet and cleaning up on the buffet tables. Our server got our drink order and we went to get our food. They honestly were fantastic! They were attentive (refilled drinks promptly and often, cleared plates as soon as we set them aside). When they noticed that we were slowing down our eating, they discreetly dropped off the bill but said no hurry. It was lunch time and most people probably only had 1 hour for lunch so we understood. This was not meant to hurry us along and even after we paid, they said "no hurry". They have various sections of food: Sushi, salad, soups and dumplings, entrees (bourbon chicken, General Taos chicken, pepper beef, etc.) desserts. I thought the food was pretty tasty. The garlic shrimp were spicy which surprised me the pepper beef was good. The egg drop soup was delicious, mixed vegetables and salted mushrooms were awesome. They didn't have the boneless bbq spare ribs but their rice was fantastic. I was surprised that they didn't have broccoli chicken or broccoli beef but they did have bourbon chicken which was great. DH liked the sushi and bbq ribs (real ribs with sweet sauce on them), Salt and pepper chicken, and the General Tao's chicken was good (not super spicy). We didn't get a chance to taste everything but it seemed like they had dishes to please the entire family. They even had tilapia! The chopsticks were at the buffet stations and there were extra silverware between the stations. The plates were nicely decorated. The entire restaurant had a fantastic atmosphere and the hosted helped us when I had questions about what was in one of the dishes. She noticed I was asking the person who was refilling the food and she helped me out. The only reason that I didn't give them 5 stars is because I like a lot of the dishes I mentioned above that they didn't have. I also like a buffet that has a hibachi station and unfortunately they don't have one. Would I return? Yes! The food I ate was delicious and I left full and happy! read more

Great food hot fresh Great staff friendly place would return and price is good must go place to eat hot bar cool bar read more

So easy and really good, the staff is amazing, and the food is fresh. The price point works for a date or family

For a Buffett it was good I enjoyed all the appetizers to choose from and soups. The spare ribs were very delish Hot fresh trays were coming out every 10 minutes once emptied. Crawfish was a favorite and replaced 3x while we were eating. The fried rice and lo mein were so flavorful it was fresh and tasty. read more

We go at lunch as we don't eat enough for the price at dinner. That said, it's a great buffet. It's a shrimp paradise!! They also have the standard buffet sushi. Their Chinese offerings are always good. Overall everyone I go there with is happy. read more

After eating there I spent the night in the bathroom sick. I ate mostly seafood. So be aware!! Who knows how old the stuff is, or how long it has been sitting out, at what temperature. Also the wait staff couldn't be any less friendly and act as though you aren't there. Will never be back read more

Great food! Crab legs were cooked perfectly amd the mango jello was best jello I ever had read more

Plenty of choices all hot and tasty, good selection of sushi great service & prices and very clean

March 31, 2025. We had supper there. Plenty of free parking Very reasonable prices We had seafood, sushi Raw oysters on half shell Priced correctly & charming inside. I will eat there again if I am visiting Daytona Beach or Port Orange FL read more

There is not many options here.... There's two places to get food from and I tried a good amount of the meats and I didn't like any of them. The overall vibe is really weird, the seating we got sat at was by the food tables so it felt like everybody was like all in our space constantly. The waitress was quick to put the Check on the table while we were eating reaching her arm across our table to put it on the other side of me, and interrupted a conversation to have me hand it to her when my card was in it. There is signs everywhere saying don't take more then you can eat which makes it awkward trying a bunch of food and not liking it and looking like you're just wasting food and getting looks. My friends stomach was hurting before we even got out of the door. None of the food I got really tasted good except the lo mein. My friend said some of the food tasted like it shouldn't. The fried rice was ok too. Probably won't be coming back which is a shame since we were so excited to visit. read more

Joy Luck Buffet - Chinese Near Me - Port Orange, Florida

It's mediocre all you can eat Chinese food including sushi and sashimi. The servers are not very friendly. The food is mass produced and inconsistent in quality. But there is enough variety that we did find things we enjoyed. I do not recommend the crab, i was pretty excited for it but it seemed tasted quite fishy tasting. Also, there was an overhead fluorescent light that kept flickering. It was annoying and when others patrons pointed it out to the server they just nodded and laughed. read more

Joy Luck Buffet - Variety!! Excellent - Chinese Near Me - Port Orange, Florida

We had a really nice family dinner here while in town. There was an enjoyable mix of variety without being overwhelming. I was impressed by the delicious spread of sushi, which is one of my favorites. There were also plenty of hot dishes and desserts. I had a very tasty strawberry cheesecake to end the night. Overall, the restaurant had a really nice feel. It was a little loud near where we sat but it appears to have been a loud party, as the rest of the restaurant appeared much quieter. The tables were cleared regularly and our beverages were refilled without asking. We had a great experience here and would recommend. read more

Delicious food! Great variety of food with various beef, chicken and seafood dishes as well as sushi and dessert. They even have ice cream. Definitely try the bourbon chicken! The service was quick bringing drinks and clearing dishes. The atmosphere was nice and pretty quiet. Very clean too. My family was skeptical about a buffet but everyone was pleasantly surprised. We will definitely be going back in the future! read more

Very good buffet lots of shrimp good sushi and not to mention substantial good service. Thank you I will return one day to enjoy your wonderful buffet. Goodbye and good luck. read more

For one thing the pricing. The last time I went is was $30/person. They recently received 33 food violations from food inspectors. I'm never going back to the restaurant again. read more

I am not usually a fan of buffets,but I was pleasantly surprised with the freshness of the food and how clean the restaurant is. Delicious sushi and a wide variety of Asian style food. Great service, very professional. read more

This restaurant has consistently gone down hill since its opening. We have been there about five times with family and friends. The last time was this past Sunday April 27, 2025z we went at about 2:30pm. Probably a mistake on our part but at the price they charge, the food should by palatable. We also understand that the price of the crab legs needs to increase with the market price but what we find unreasonable is that you charge everyone including children for the AYCE even if they do not want crab legs. If your staff can't monitor the few tables they have as there standing against the wall, you are not providing a good service. It's also not acceptable to see these servers grabbing food off the buffet and throwing it down the hatch as they try to hide beside the portable room divider. Why do you continually put out cooked steak that a human can't chew. The server agreed. The soup wontons were soggy and over cooked. The ribs were grayish colored covered with a Chinese barbecue sauce. If you like shrimp, this is the place for you. They have shrimp made so many ways if your a shrimp person. Really disappointed in this place. read more

This is an extensive buffet!! Lots of Chinese choices, including 3 soups, many stir fries, and at least 2 different kinds of shrimp. No beer/wine license. There is also sushi and sashimi at dinner. It was mostly cooked stuff, tuna and yellowtail. Not much variety. Dim sum options were there like potstickers. My family loved the ribs. My favorite was the sautéed mushrooms (button) but I noticed a big quality difference in the freshness of the mushrooms between batches. The atmosphere is loud, there are kids running around and sampling buffet items. They did not charge for our babies. For the price, I'd say this place is worth a try. You'll have to decide for yourself whether you like buffet format and the large spacious, noisy environment. We got there at 5pm, I guess it gets more crowded later. Also, I ordered tea and expected to receive a pot for the table but I got a large mug with a teabag hanging out of it. read more

This place is a scam. Avoid at all costs. The scam isn't the buffet, which happens to be nothing special (2 or 3 stars at best) - just don't fall for the $3.99/lb Snow Crab Legs add-on. Their snow crab legs are inedibly SALTY, like ocean water salty - and will absolutely kill your appetite and/or make you puke (did both to me, a terrible feeling.) I expressed my concerns with one of the managers, and she told me with a smile that their crab legs are indeed "very salty" and "that's why they are so cheap from our distributor." I know the restaurant business is tough, but to commit such blatant carnival sodium-bomb trickery is honestly something I've never seen before in the 5000+ restaurants I've experienced in my young and hungry lifetime. read more

Wonderful food, sushi, Chinese, very good fish, mussels, crab legs and so much more very nice atmosphere and very clean Plenty of different foods read more

So impressed by last week's visit we returned today! This time was just as good, and much busier after word of mouth reviews spread. I'm not normally a sushi eater, mainly because I don't care for the seaweed wrap most are made with. So happy they had some with soy wrap-thank you! Sashimi with salmon and another with a white fish were tasty like last time. The beautiful fresh peel and eat shrimp are stars of the show, don't miss them! Char Siu Rib was good but a bit on the sweet side. Chicken with Cream Sauce was similar to that of Honey Walnut Shrimp. General Tso's Chicken a bit spicy but also good. Several desserts also nice. A standout for me was a Banana Pudding that used Almond cookies in place of the traditional vanilla wafers. Nice variation! Still looking forward to trying still more new items next time! read more

Went there with some friends of mine it was an unbelievable buffet lotta seafood seafood was very good. Would like to go back for lunch. There is really no service there. They bring you your drink and then rush your plates away right away. It's like are you done with the trough? Let's go time to leave, but I will be back. read more

Amazing food , fresh and yummy look. Place clean and nice At the beginning there was this lady, waiter, a little bit not to friendly.

Joy Luck Buffet - Chinese Near Me - Port Orange, Florida

Amazing food! A must try! Fresh food setups, nice staff, clean bathrooms and TV! They had a special of snow king crab ($40 total), all of your Asian/Chinese favorites and great sushi! The iced cream selection was a little disappointing but they are individually wrapped though you cannot leave the restaurant with them which can be misleading. Ample seating room at the booths. You can fit easily 6 people comfortably and the table is far enough away from the seats so I felt like a child eating lol. Tables were cleared fast each time I got up to eat. I love the way the buffet is set up which reminds me of a W. In between the lines was a space the staff delivered the food to the meal trays without encroaching on my space. Great job guys! Tonight a dinner buffet was $22.99 per individual without the snow king crab and children eat for less depending on height. read more

I will start by saying I do not do buffets I stumbled across this because it was recommended to me and I was pleasantly surprised I did like the food everything is good I loooooved the crab legs I only like one of their sushi rolls however I am extremely picky with my sushi well I won't say picky u just like good quality sushi and most places around Daytona don't cut it specially not a buffet. It's extremely over priced get this for kids they charge you by height I do think that's kind of cleaver from a business stand point not from a parents stand point I have a tall behind 11 year old who I paid Adult price for when I had one more year out of which really didn't matter because if one person in your party does the crab legs everyone had to do it and it's full adult price for all so yes we all paid adult including my 8 year old I think it was like over $30 a person I can't recall it was either $30 or a little over $30 so for me and I love to spend good coin on food $30 per person for that type of food not really my thing won't be going there again, but it wasn't bad, if buffets is your thing I do suggest it because the food was good also I don't eat a lot anymore so it's not worth it for me. It was cute inside liked the dim lit I'm always a sucker for the romantic ambiance I give that a 5 star. Their staff was great too! read more

There were plenty of seafood and other Chinese favorites on the buffet along with sushi, soup and numerous desserts to pick from. All the food items were very good. Our waiter kept our drinks filled. This place is very clean and a lot of options for seating. We will definitely be going back again. read more
