Absolutely delicious! The shrimp and cheese rolls were new to us and we all loved them! The double Philly roll was our favorite though so fresh. All the noodle options were yummy and everything was perfectly cooked. The teriyaki chicken on a stick wasn't the most flavorful we've had but it wasn't bad I've just had better. Will definitely order delivery again! read more

I'm was at the buffet and it was good I got some food from the restaurant and I'm on my lunch

It was my first time there and if I lived closer to this spot it wouldn't be my last. They had great entree options for a great price.

Food was cold. Either over salted on under seasoned. Staff were not helpful at all. Didn't have high expectations walking in but outcome was even worse. Place is very dark probably to mask the look of the food. read more

I continue to go to this place primarily because they have seaweed salad, which I love. But a few times I've gone there and they're out of it, with nobody behind the sushi counter to ask for more. When someone is behind the counter I usually ask for eel sauce, which is much better than soy sauce. They also have coconut shrimp (my favorite), stuffed mussels, chicken on a stick, little fried tubes filled with cream cheese which are very nice), egg foo yung, egg rolls, salmon, General Chicken, yada yada yada. Not the best selection, but far from the worst. On the times when I went instead to Mama Garden, the buffet down the road, I found myself missing the seaweed salad and my pocketbook griping at the larger price. Plus Lucky Buffet has a senior discount - always a plus, although they did increase their prices recently. read more

Me and my kids came to visit we were treated very nicely the staff were sweet and kind and patient with us. The food was hot and replenished often and this was on a slow day maybe 10 people total in the business. Every area was filled and available. read more

The food was not good. Very disappointing. I will never return. Staff was fine...the food was not at all good.

Okay. So even after reading the previous reviews, I STILL decided to try this place. Sometimes we make dumb decisions. I can tell the owner is probably cheap. Lo Mien should have sauce on it. Cashew chicken is missing the "Cashews"... what in the? Don't you think it's time to buy a bigger rice cooker? Geez, this is from the 70s? In general, one of my favorite buffet dish is the the coconut shrimp. The outer layer is somewhat crispy and it has a sweet salty flavor to it, but idk what is going with theirs. It falls apart like the cook was afraid to burn it??? Not impressed. Well I'm sure you guys are aware that your dining is pretty ... LOOK! It's a tumbleweed! Come on guys, you gotta know something is wrong when there's only 3 families here for dinner. How was this place 5 years ago? Or 10? New owner? I'm sorry. Will not be returning. read more

Always plenty of food, always affordable. It may be asian in nature but if you like shrimp, you can get more here and for less, than any Red Lobster "all you can eat" specials. Tired of paying high prices for Sushi? Not here. They have an entire area and a sushi chef that will keep you in the seaweed And wasabi for as long as you like. Located on Noland in Independence. read more

We love to get take out here. It's always delicious!! Food is always hot and fresh.

Got there mid afternoon, hardly any "hot" food at all. Very disappointing to say the least. Staff was busy in back but not worried about the food being replaced. Even the hot spicy soup was cold . Sorry won't be back, don't waste your time or money. read more

I'll give 3 stars, only because I think they have room for improvement. The hot sour soup needs more spice, several items need to be better than what's getting out of the kitchen. What service?? It's a buffet for crap sakes. I guess the decor was ok, very little on the walls. May try again but not to soon . read more

After being seated within a few feet (less than 6) from the ice cream, we had a big come out into the table. We notified the server who proceeded to smash the bug on the table and tell us it wasn't a big deal. After they had a little conference about what to do , the lady came back offering a discount . We refused to pay and promptly left . The family behind us who had just played food also overheard what was happening and left at the same time . Health dept will be notified . This is gross . read more

Lucky Buffet - a sticker on a wooden table - Chinese Near Me - Independence, Missouri

It's not really a buffet it's more like a cafeteria with a very limited menu. They give you a Styrofoam box and you walk through a line and you tell the server what you want and they put a scoop on your box and you're only allowed to go back once. read more

We went there last night and the price is reasonable. The selection is good. Their fried rice is some of the best buffet fried rice out there. I recommend the muscles and the chicken skewers. I like that you can also choose your own seat. Oh and they are quick to take away your dirty plates. Highly recommend go enjoy! read more

Food is great, but they don't know the laws regarding service dogs and both times I have gone, one with a friend who also had her SD with her and another time with my family, they have asked us to leave my medical equipment at the table. Which according to the Americans with disability act or ADA is illegal. Even when explained this or shown the laws they kept on pressing the issue. read more

I eat here very often it's close to my working place. Good food! Never dissatisfied! I love this sushi selection! It's cheaper than than place!! And good atmosphere! highly recommended read more

The food is always cold. Don't know why the health dept isn't in there just for that. They determine their price as they go. Been in 3 times and each time have been charge a different price for the buffet. Being in the restaurant business for 40 years tells me that they don't turn the steam wells up higher so the food would get burnt or dried out, this tells me that the food is not fresh either. When they do bring out fresh food it is not hot, and they just pile it right on top of the old food that has been sitting there God knows how long! If the old food is close to spoiling, it spoils the new food put in fast. read more

nice Asian restaurant one of it kind. if you really want or crave Asian food this your place to come. should have better ratings!!!!!!!!

Well i tryed this for the first time since moving to the KC area. Lot of selection but the food was cold to luke warm at best. The price was fair at 9.99 for the buffet but then you pay extra for your drink and tax came to $ 12.79 which still not a bad price but the food not being hot was the biggest draw back for me. Not the cleanest place either. I am suprised the State has not steped in on this chinese Buffet. Will not be going back to this place. read more

If there was a option to put a negative star I would, this place was horrible kids running around screaming and throwing their toys everywhere. Food was horrible and cold I asked the waitress 7 times to change out a dish and they refused. If you want to get food poisoning then this is your place FYI you also might want to take headache medicine before coming here. I promise I'll never be eating here again... read more

They're closed to the public but they're accepting online orders. Service is always friendly and food is always good.

I love it! Best quality for best price! Lunch is $5.49!!!!!!! Dinner is $7.99. Sushi is always fresh and chilled! The rest is decent americanized Chinese food. Great hot and sour soup! The staff is awesome! On the ball with drinks. They also have Mongolian BBQ but I fill myself with sushi before I have had a chance to try it! We literally go once a week. They did have a rough patch when they were doing construction to improve the buffet line, as one guy said, but that was the only time they have ever not been at 100% awesome! read more

This was pretty standard buffet dining. There were a few exceptions though. The place was kinda dirty and the food was contaminated. We found construction debris in the curry chicken... The staff was almost ticked off that we were there or something. There were a number of handwritten signs. One of them inform you to please pay before you begin eating. I see why now. My receipt actually said, "Golden Super Buffet" All the signage outside said, "Luck Buffet". I won't be back again. read more

Before you leave make sure to keep your receipt. A man that work there accused me of trying to leave without paying. When I first arrived, I asked a lady if they accepted debit/credit. She said yes would you like to pay now? I said sure! I was there with my three daughters ages 10,9, and 7. At first she rang them up as adults. This was my first visit so I assumed they didn't have a separate price for children. Then I guess she took a better look at them and asked me their ages. It brought the price down $10+. The food was okay. The booths are kind small. As we were leaving and chatting. A man stopped me like hey! You needed to pay! I told him that I already paid the lady and what the total was. He didn't believe me. Didn't ask the lady or anything. Thank goodness I had my receipt balled up in my hand. It had gotten wet. I'm thinking to myself I paid when I came in so what is he even talking about. Most buffets you pay before you eat right? But now I'm thinking that when I came in with my family that they assume me and my three kids were going to skip out on the check so they had me pay before and everyone else after. It didn't feel like a misunderstanding. I know they don't care but I will not be back. read more

Couldn't find anything to like. Walking through the front door, one is greeted with the foul odor of a dirty space. More specifically, the front of the house smelled like a rancid back of the house. The staff was nice, but their courtesy was strained. The staff member at the checkout asked how everything was in a depressingly apathetic manner. The food is better than the odor of the restaurant, which days nothing for it. read more

Today was the first time we ate here. The food was fresh, regularly replenished, and very tasty. Nice variety. Beverages were refilled quickly. We will be back read more

Amazing service! Hostess and workers were very kind.A great variety was laid out and the cooks continually replaced dishes with fresh food.friendly lenvironment ! All-in-all this place deserves its five stars. read more

Sushi lovers, this is not the place for you. Don't waste your time and money. Also, the lady asked me like 5 questions and saw my order on my phone before begrudgingly giving me my order. Good thing another lady was walking by when I asked for extra soy sauce. I would not have gotten any more. Very bad experience for me. read more

I've been here several times and was pleased the first time. I can say the food (what's left) is hot. And they do have a decent selection, when the food is refilled. But I've been here at different times and aside from that first good experience I have not been happy. Tonight was the worst. Now don't get me wrong, the place is always doing business. And the staff is pleasant and friendly. But when I was here last week the dessert table was close to empty. Barely anything left. Tonight was the icing on the cake-if there had been any cake. There were TWO cream puffs left. And even the fruit that was left was in bad shape. So I had some of the peel and eat shrimp, until I overheard another customer tell a staff member that she had found dead flies in the clams. The dish right next to the shrimp. That was it. Curtain closed on the Lucky Buffet. I won't be giving it another chance. Next time I'm trying the Golden Rice... read more

My family and I love this place. Lots of options including ice cream and sushi! Nothing bad to say. Great food every time we go (only in the Day time, so far). read more

I loved this place! They did what they had to do. I'm a college student so I always come back home and straight here. Their sushi is amazing and their staff is friendly. You gotta eat here and tip well! read more

I've eaten here a couple of times so far and it's always good. Foods hot and there's lots to chose from.

This place is spot on.... very affordable for poor person like myself, very delicious food, very nice employees

I am a regular customer at Lucky Buffet and LOVE it! The staff is so nice and friendly. If they are ever out of the salmon nigiri when I arrive, they make more. I'm happy to see that they took the time to remember its my favorite! Why pay more for sushi, when you can get unlimited for $8 - $9? I will keep coming back, thanks! read more
