We went to Manor Buffet for the advertised crawfish boil. We had fresh oysters, fresh clams, sushi. My favorite was the crispy chicken entree and Chinese spareribs. My husband loved the fresh oysters, salted deep fried shrimp, and the sushi. The selection was amazing! When we were finished I found the carving station on the way to the restroom! Roast beef, sausages, mashed potatted were a whole other dinner and saved for next time. There will be a next time, we will be back at Manor Buffet. Kim Bonner read more

Very disappointed. Food was cold literally everything was room temperature. 7pm room temp foods. I came for my kid who likes the seafood. I come for the Chinese and other cooked food. Just not like it used to be... read more

Best Quality Buffet in Lancaster County! You will not be disappointed! The price is right, the food is fresh and he sushi is part of the price! read more

my wife has no idea I went here. She hates buffets like this all greasy and big...but this place is nothing like that! But she won't even give it a try... and she thinks she's so open-minded...haha yeah what a joke. I didn't even take pics - no evidence!! Definitely try the hibachi! But remember to brush your teeth before jumping into bed with the missus because that garlic sauce will not lie!! read more

As buffets go this has become the worst in the East Valley. Cold hot food, dishes take an hour or more to replenish. The person who makes sushi was squatting in the corner when I asked her about the empty dishes that once held sushi rolls and when I did she looked at her watch as if 7 pm was late. They close at 9:30. I'm happy to never go back to this place and their paper plates and plastic utensils. Such a shame. read more

So, I am not a huge buffet fan... We were here after a long day in Lancaster and were starving to boot. We never frequent any kind of buffet (other than Indian during lunch) so this was kind of rare for us, but we really thought we could eat our money's worth. There are Tons of stations Seafood, Soups, Traditional American, Chinese, Cold, Sushi, Carving Hibatchi and Dessert with a Chocolate fountain (hello paradise for kids) We enjoyed the food much more than any other buffet we have been forced to go to as children or on family gatherings and work functions. The food was really good and the selection seemed to be replaced pretty often. The service is kind of off and on. Many times they would come by to clear, but they did not really come by to check on drink levels or silverware. Other than that, the food was much better than expected and the selection is large enough that almost everyone can find something to eat. worth coming with a large crowd with different wants/tastes that is very hungry. read more

I just want to say they have very good food and I would suggest this place to anybody

This is my fourth time there for lunch it he's to be the nicest buffet I've ever been and it's clean the waitress is very attentive with drinks and clearing your plates and the food has always been fresh and good the floors are swept on a regular basis and the bathrooms are clean I have yet to had dinner yet there but look forward to it someday read more

Went here tonight. They have a lot of variety and a lot of food. Most was some sort of asian fish -- Japanese Chinese Korean etc. I think they had 7 of 8 shrimp preparations. Lots of different sorts of chicken... grill in the back was cooking Mongolian barbecue. Steaks. Sausage. Pizza. We were absolutely stuffed by the time we left. Will go back for another round. read more

I frequent Chinese buffets a lot whenever I'm on travel. This is one of the best!!! I always make an effort to stop by here for dinner whenever I'm in Lancaster with my family, and have recommended this place to others as well. I've been going here for 5 years, every time my kids finish at Dutch Wonderland, we stop here for dinner before heading back to DC. The place is huge and so is the food selection. The quality of the food is excellentttttttt, as far as buffets go. Very fresh tasting all the time, and they always restock the food quickly. The prices are reasonable for the area too. Parking is ample too. read more

Liked some of the food, but your staff was rushing us couldn't enjoy the food they way we should of. Very disappointed on the service. We tipped well because our children work on food service also. You need to tell your server to stop constantly on top of your customers it's not service like. And we didn't ask for the check or wasn't even done eating and she rushed us out. Not cool at all. read more

this place use to be good not any more the food isnt the best low grade beef charged near 15.00 for lunch water as a drink

This place is pretty good! Enjoyed the size of the buffet area -enough space to move around without ever feeling crowded or uncomfortable- as well as the dining area. The lights and decor contribute to a resplendently charming atmosphere that's a bit modern and the staff usually seems pretty friendly and unobtrusive but willing to laugh and smile if you engage with them. There's a good variety of dishes offered and I especially digg the seafood (oh god the calories!) and I'd say the prices aren't going to destroy your pockets although I've been to several cheaper buffets. They do offer specials, however. read more

We had dinner here tonight and it was great! So many choices and very tasty. The food stations were very clean, waitress was always there to bring you additional drinks, napkins and to clear your used plate away quickly. This is our 2nd time here and will come back again when we are in the Lancaster area. 5 stars for this buffet!! read more

This is one of the better Chinese buffets I've been to in a while. I particularly enjoyed the sushi and seafood. Everybody in my party including the kids were happy after eating here. read more

Great restaurant in Lancaster. It is decorated beautifully and the food was excellent.

Overall food was decent, staff is friendly, and facility is clean. Standard pricing for buffets. The food was fresh and what you would normally expected from buffets, relatively bland flavors. I will say the sushi available is freshly made and above average quality for buffets and the hibachi is good quality as well. read more

Best buffet in Lancaster! Went on a Friday evening. All the food is amazing. Well cooked and prepared. Seemed to have a fast turnover of fresh food. Crab rangoon, coconut shrimp, strawberry bananas are a few top picks of ours. Friendly staff and prompt service. Take your time try a little bit of everything! Well worth the 40.00 dining bill for 2 plus tip! read more

Wow, never expected this in Lancaster, PA It has More than any other Chinese buffets I've been to. Even fresh fruit selections are great Giant raw clams , even during lunch Twice in one week read more

This place is a casual and fine dinner place and clean restaraunt..! Employees are very attentive delivering awesome costumer service. The food is fresh and hot, a lot of variety in cook foods sushi and fruits and sweets. And even though the place was full I didn't have to wait to enter and sit. In my opinion it is worth every dollar every Pennie.... My server was SUPER GREAT...!!! Till this moment in my review, I give them a A plus...! Now there is only one thing that I didn't like that every time I go to the sushi to serve my self the preparation guy is looking at me serve myself, with the look in his face it seamed like he didn't want me to.....the secound time I went to the sushi stand he Did the same thing again....... so adding this to my review I give you a B which... I will still go there to eat again but will avoid going to the sushi section....... read more

Sushi, hibachi, Chinese food? Oh my! A place where you can get all of your cravings. There is plenty of parking and a lot of seating. We came here on a Saturday night and it was busy. We were seated quickly for a party of seven. There was a vast selection of food and they replenished it quite often. The hibachi was good although limited options on noodles. The sushi was okay, it wasn't bad but it wasn't great which is always expected from Buffets. The fruits were fresh and the ice cream was good although they had ran out of cones. They also take covid measurements which requires you to wear a mask and gloves while serving yourself although not many people were following the guidelines. Definitely worth checking out if you're hungry and need food asap. The only downsides were that our waitress was rarely there to bring us high chairs or take some plates away. The table was also a bit dirty when we had first sat and the tables are pretty close by each other. read more

This was my first time here and the experience was great, the place was very well kept and organized, the service was great and there was a lot of food options. This is a great family location, very kid friendly and has lots of seating to accommodate big families or parties. All this makes for an overall great experience. Definitely coming back. read more

The place looks good on the inside but all the food here looks uncooked, noodles felt hard and just wasn't appetizing. Their french fries are dry and their mozzarella sticks are mid the ones from walmart are better. read more

You can never go wrong with Manor Buffet. This is our go to when coming to Lancaster, and it's for good reason. The food is always fresh, and refilled often. They even have steaks, ribs, and sausages cut to order. They have a lot of variety's of food so there's a-little but for everyone. The waitresses are very prompt and kind too! You get your monies worth here. read more

I think this is one of the better Asian buffets around these days. The food always seems fresh and hot. I've never had a problem with anything there. Like most Asian buffets, the desserts could be improved, but they do have a good selection and they are better than most Asian buffets have to offer. The soft serve ice cream station could use some attention or updating. Other than that, it's a great place and reasonably priced. read more

I think most of the food in the Lancaster area is nothing to talk about. We ate here last night and was pleasantly surprised. We thought the quality was good they had a nice variety of sushi, Chinese, Habatchi and seafood. Our kids 8,4 &3 loved the chocolate fountain and the variety of fruit. I don't normally like buffets but this one was nice in that it didn't make you feel like you were eating slop food. Also super kid friendly we paid based on our kids ages, which was great since our little one only ate fruit read more

It's a Chinese buffet...cheap and made for consuming varieties of crap. Chinese buffets are just to fill your " I want Asian food" even though its just a bunch of fatty crap thrown together for people to think it's Asian. I don't know why anyone would actually even bother writing a review, including me. The inside decor is very nice though. They somehow included bamboo, Italiana villas, Arabian Arches to create the setting. Weird. Also, I got food poisoning from the sushi ( I usually eat sushi and I have NEVER got sick from eating it). read more

Regardless of what some of the other reviewers have written, this is first and foremost a Chinese restaurant. They have mostly Chinese food. Note: They add MSG to the food. (I confirmed by asking them) They have a few items that are not typically served in a Chinese restaurant, like: pizza, chicken nuggets, french fries, and a couple of odd ball items like garlic bread and quesadilla's. They have a lot of selections, and as other viewers noted they are protein heavy. The salad bar was ok, and they had some fresh fruit too (kiwi - which was the first time I have seen that at a buffet). What I liked: hot and sour soup, general tso's chicken (even though it was a bit sweet and very little heat), spring rolls, and the quesadilla (believe it or not) They had a varied selection of desserts, many taken straight from a box. They has small slices of different cakes, which I actually prefer as I don't like to waste food, and sugar free vanilla soft serve ice cream, and regular chocolate soft serve ice cream and several different toppings. If they had additional flavors the machines were not working and covered up. They had a chocolate fountain and some fresh pineapple and strawberries to dip. However, the chocolate did not harden at all and we didn't care for the taste or texture. It stayed wet and fluid for at least 20 minutes (then we left). I gave 3 star rating as - They had plenty of seating and lots of food selection. - I have had better and I have had worse. YMMV read more

So after hearing all the hype from my father who eats here several times a week I decided to check it out for myself. Found some coupons in the Clipper magazine but surprise......they can't be used on weekends which is when we were planning to go. This was my last meal before a two day fast for a medical procedure so I was pretty pumped up about stuffing my face. First off upon entry the place was nicely decorated. I did found the dining areas to be a little scattered and a strange arrangement of columns, half walls, etc. separating the different dining areas. At times I found myself walking too close to occupied tables to get to the buffet stations. I would say the layout is awkward at best. As for the food it was displayed nicely. Not anything special here that hasn't been served at other buffets. I did find the salad bar not up to par, and felt the local grocery store had more fresh selections. Each table focused on a different element of the meal; from protein, to seafood, to the biggest selection which was the starches. I felt there was too many proteins and not enough (fresh, or unsauced) vegetable selections. I found an overly cheesy broccoli casserole type dish, and another spinach dish, again smothered in cheese. A lot of the buffet space focused on sushi type selections which was largerly ignored by us and other diners during our visit. The Chinese dishes were basically the same dish over and over just with different proteins. There was a craving station tucked into a corner by the stir fry on demand station which could be easily overlooked. A serving of the beef - prime rib (?) that I chose was not tasty and after a bite or two remained on my plate. In actuality I had a hard time finding dishes that appealed to me and remember this was my final meal before a long fast! On the plus side the chocolate fountain was at a station occupied by an attendant and had a notice about children being supervised. This is a plus as at some other local buffets it's usually a free for all by children who's parents are nowhere to be seen. My boyfriend on the other hand filled up and enjoyed his selection of fried, greasy, and cheesy foods. For me this will be my one and only visit. read more

Reminds me of a buffet at a casino. Nice interior ceiling decor, reminds me of Europe? Clean bathrooms, rare to see for a buffet. Food selection is great. Food is good to great. Sushi, crab, and more. Service was good. Chocolate fountain. Key point, they maintain cleanliness. read more

There's been a Chinese buffet on Lincoln Highway just easy of the last expressway exit since time immemorial, so much so that the day sixteen and a half years ago that I returned to Pennsylvania after a four-year hitch teaching high school in Maryland, I began looking for it as soon as I crossed the state line into the Commonwealth on US83 and ate lunch there in darkness with exactly two other parties. But Manor Buffet, the restaurant that took the place of the former establishment, is an entirely different species. Manor Buffet was filled to 25% legal capacity last night at dinner for a very good reason: It seems to do everything well, even (and perhaps especially) in a pandemic. Mask wearing, glove wearing, temperature taking, social distancing, and hand sanitation were strictly enforced, and everyone complied. And why not? The food was terrific. After 15 months of being persona non grata in restaurants, I went with two distinct culinary items in mind, prime rib and fried shrimp, and both were abundantly available. The prime rib had been roasted to perfection--pink, tender, and tasty as buffet prime rib virtually never is. I was astounded! Each fried shrimp was a little masterpiece of hot, tender, golden succulence as only fried shrimp can be. Lightly buttered string beans had not lost their just-picked color or freshness and had obviously been harvested locally: Processed string beans simply never look that way. Fried dumplings--too often tasteless and desiccated wherever they're served--were warm and lightly browned but still chewy and spicy as never before. Only the ground shrimp-crabmeat meatballs were a disappointment--a good idea in theory, but the competing tastes canceled each other out, so that nothing but a meat ball's texture could be perceived--not unpleasant, but not up to the standards of either crabmeat or shrimp alone. Even chocolate ice cream seemed richer and denser in flavor and texture than usual. There's a dish to suit every palate at Manor Buffet. I eschewed the usual chicken with broccoli, well-done steak, green salad elements, and all manner of cakes and pies to concentrate on my fantasies, but as I left feeling comfortable but not bloated, I silently vowed to express gratitude for my contentment at the earliest opportunity. Other reviewers maintain that prices are less than ideal. I paid $15, tax, and gratuity as a senior and am certain the value of my meal was at least commensurate with its price. Wait time, ten minutes between 5:30 and 5:45 pm, was minimal; waitly.com was deployed expertly. And service personnel were ubiquitous, friendly, and so very efficient. Bring a $20 bill per person and a healthy appetite and Manor Buffet will not disappoint. read more

Above average for buffet food, a lot of variety. Everything that was hot was hot and cold, cold. I came here to fill my belly and it did just that with dessert afterwards! Came here with friends and family and they were happy with the amount of selections too. read more

My oh my, had no idea what a great place this would be in Amish mecca! Top of the line seafood and not your typical Asian buffet by any means. My husband said the next day after eating here that he dreamt about it! Yes, its that good! read more

This was the most exciting and surprising buffet find ever!!! After a long, hot day of outlet shopping down the street, my boyfriend and I took our shopping companions to this buffet. We got there right around 6, and based on past experiences with Chinese buffets, we assumed there would be a wait. There wasn't, and we were seated right away! Like others have noted, the interior is quite grand compared to other Asian buffets. The bathrooms were clean, the booths felt new, and the overall decor was quaint and fun in its own way. The food selection was most definitely the main attrraction. For one of my goals in life, I want to conquer as many buffets as humanly possible (seriously. I'm not kidding.), so I have been to more than my fair share of buffets. I was so excited to try out the different foods offered! There were even foods that I didn't try because I was too full! There were also foods that aren't offered at your standard buffets (snow crab legs, dungeness crabs, grilled chili wings, jellyfish, etc.), and for a price of $13.95 for a Sunday dinner, I'm not going to complain. I see a lot of outlet shopping and buffet eating in the near future......... read more

The seafood items are excellent. They serve crabs in half, roast duck, good size shrimps, king crabs, clams, oysters, etc. The quality of the food is very good and fresh. The presentation is excellent and very clean. The desserts are housed inside glass door. I hope they will stay the same way because a lot of buffet places becomes stale and boring after a few years. read more

See all

Ate here recently with my husband and 3 kids. This place is very large inside, tons of seating. On the classy looking side as far as buffets go. Everything looked clean, including the restroom. As for the food there is a pretty decent selection. Drinks aren't not included in the buffet price from what I understood from the receipt. But they are very attentive at keeping drinks filled and empty plates cleared. Quite a lot of seafood, from squid salad to raw oysters, to crab legs and plenty of things in between. Hibachi, sushi, the standard Asian fair like fried rice, egg rolls, dumplings, orange chicken etc. there is also a dessert station with a chocolate fountain and ice cream machines, which my kids loved. They definitely did not eat enough to get the money's worth. But all in all we would go back sometime when the craving to stuff ourselves strikes. ;) read more

Finally! My family are transplanted Texans and accustomed to a plethora of Asian establishments being available to us. Since moving here to Pennsylvania, we've had a very hard time finding one of our top two favorite cuisines. Then we discovered Manor Buffet. We just had our first visit and came away totally satisfied and eager to return. As with almost all buffets, there are a few misses, but those were minor and probably more a matter of personal tastes than the fault of the cooks. The choices are extensive so if something doesn't appeal to you, you'll have no trouble finding something else instead. One factor I am particularly pleased with is the way they clearly and properly label each item. That is not always the case in some buffets. Another wonderful aspect of their choices is that it included items I have never seen on an Asian buffet that I've visited before. Case in point, jellyfish. I personally wasn't fond of it but I love the fact that this unusual choice is available. Another strong point is a benefit for families with finicky members who don't care for Asian food, and it is that there are plenty of other choices that include American food too. This way the whole family can be satisfied, but if I'm going to an Asian buffet I only want Asian food and theirs is top notch. The prices are more than fair for what you receive. You also can have your drinks refilled without an additional charge and the staff are right on the spot if that is needed. You don't even have to ask. As for the staff, they are very friendly and helpful. I am about to turn 70 and noticed when we received our bill that I wasn't given the Senior Discount that is available. I brought it to the attention of the staff and the young lady could not have been kinder, taking care of the correction immediately with a smile. In other words, I highly recommend this place, especially if you are eager to taste Asian cuisine again. More deserving of a 4 1/2 Star than 4 Star. read more

This place is on the whole a pretty good Chinese buffet. Authentic roast duck, Sichuan fish, cilantro beef, eggplant and jellyfish salad all great. Plenty of Americanized Chinese food and just plain old American mac and cheese for those of you that can't do the stix. Highly recommend. read more
