The Lucky Buffet is now my go to for Chinese food in St Albans. I like the lightly battered fried chicken wings, baked fish, chicken skewer, sautéed prawns. Food is mostly but not exclusively Chinese. I have seen spinach Florentine, roast beef, meatballs, roasted fingerling potatoes, and a seafood cheese bake. Did I mention 3 kinds of soups and a salad bar with peel and eat shrimps?

My family and I were visiting Vermont for the first time and wanted something quick to eat for dinner. We saw Lucky Buffet and thought that we would give it a look even though we had low expectations - I don't think of Chinese food when I think of Vermont. What a pleasant surprise. Excellent for at a good value! I highly recommend this restaurant to satisfy your Chinese food cravings.

We came at the dinner hour and I was hoping for the crab legs or something special due to the supper hours. However, was disappointed due to it being a review for just lunch hour specials. The food was tasty but nothibg to be wowed about. Before I had come here and when they had originally opened the restaurant. I bosted about how this buffet had upped the buffet game. However, now its meh. When I walked in there was 5 employees at the front and only 1 said hi. The others could have cared less I walked into their restaurant. Which thats a big turn off for me. The environment was somewhat clean. However, there was a pile of,serving spoons and tongs they have out exposed on the buffet line, which displayed that they are exposed to ppl touching them who potentially did not wash their hands. (Which honestly, its a buffet so thats probably why they have that idea doing that in the first place). The hibachi area wasn't open and I was looking towards that but no go there. I would care if I came back or not, but I sure won't bring my date here.

Jimmy's. That's what I call it. It's not the lucky Buffet, its the Buffit...and thus I'll call it Jimmy's. Why? Cause I freaking said so, ok? Yeah, we used to go to the St Albans Cafeteria up near Rite Aid....and it was ok. Actually, i kind of miss their mediocrity. I dunno, Jimmy's has a lot of options, like, an ass load....but I never seem entirely satisfied. Also, if you're sensitive to temperature and smell you might want to go on an off peak hour. The AC in there is ok, but it doesn't really make a huge dent. Combine that with a billion of St Albans finest packed in like cattle and you get the sweet combination of heat and stank. Just being honest. That aside, its not bad. If you're up for all you can eat chicken fingers, pizza and pineapple, then Jimmy's is gonna be like a jackpot for you.

Indian Grill - Chicken Vindaloo

Coming back from Montreal, we were craving some good Desi food, and Yelp pointed us toward a couple…read moreof places. We decided to try Indian Grill--and honestly, from the outside, you would never guess that this is a fine restaurant with great food and excellent service! We ordered dahi gappe, pakoras, the Desi Thai curry that was recommended to us, a chicken curry, samosas, rice, and tandoori roti. Quite a spread! The dahi gappe were the real standout for me. They came with their own little cup of sweet yogurt, which reminded me a bit of lassi, while the crispy homemade gappe were filled with chana and potato. I've had my fair share of gappe, and these were simply exquisite. So many flavors and textures at once--the sweet, tangy, spicy, creamy and, of course, that fantastic crunch. Delicious! The rice was also spot on. Long-grain, perfectly cooked, with each grain holding its own. None of that mushy, stew-like or oatmeal texture--just how rice should be--and the flavor was right where it needed to be. Both chicken dishes were tender and flavorful, with the meat pairing really well with both the coconut-based yellow sauce and the richer red sauce. The samosas had their own distinct character, more in line with the Indian-style samosas than the Pakistani version I'm more accustomed to. Different, but very good! The ambiance was calm and inviting, and the interior was surprisingly nice. But what really topped everything off was the kindness and attentiveness of the staff. Their recommendations were spot on, and they clearly knew their menu. If I have to be picky, the music could have been a little quieter. In a restaurant like this, I prefer music at true background volume so you can focus on the food and conversation. But that's a very minor point and certainly didn't take away from the experience. We'll definitely stop by again whenever we're in the area. A great find in Plattsburgh

This was my first time here. I heard their buffet is great but I ordered my meal to-go. I got…read moreChicken Vindaloo (spicy) with a side of garlic Naan. The Chicken Vindaloo was so flavorful and the spice level was perfect. The sauce had a nice viscosity and the chicken was nice big pieces. Though they were tender, they were a little dry, and the rice was a little plain. As for the garlic Naan, is was soft and came with 3 unique sauces. Each were different but were fresh and added incredible uniqueness to the meal. I especially liked the green sauce and the pink pickled peppers. The whole dinner provided two meals. As for service, the person at the door was very warm and helpful with the menu. The inside of the resturant was very welcoming. Next time I'm in town, I look forward to trying their buffet. All of the food looked wonderful.
