I've been here a few times. Honestly the food is consistent. But the people who own/work there need more customers service experience. I've been there a few different times and they treat me different based on what I wear or based on how me and my friends/family act. Good food but you never know what kind of energy you're walking into. My rating is a 3.0. read more

I've been eating there over 20 years Staff is always nice and the food is good I'm going there Tomorrow

if i could rate it 0 stars i would . my husband got shrimp and as he continued to eat we noticed there was black inside and on the outside of the shrimp meat . after further investigation we discovered not only was the shrimp covered in feces and bacteria it was served to everyone . everything there beside the ice cream was absolutely disgusting. was not worth 30$ and wouldn't recommend. service itself was decent they cleared plates pretty fast read more

Great food and reasonable price. Quiet environment right on 163rd street in the Bronx. Respectable staff.

This place is better than any other branches I've been to. The food taste just as good but the ambiance is better and there's more space. There is enough space for you and your baby in a stroller. Very clean and great customer service! I'll definitely come there more often. read more

It was good for the price of $9.50. Very very very basic Chinese food. No ice cream for deserts. Seafood- baby clams and shrimps was the only seafood they had. No sushi. Bathroom wasn't the cleanest but it was functional. For take out- it's not by the pound but by the size of the container you want which is think is great. Whatever you can fit is what you pay for. read more

Merry Land Buffet - My plate! - Chinese Near Me - Bronx, New York

The nerve of some of the reviews on this website. You are paying $5-9 for food and drinks and expect 5 star restaurant service and a dress code. It is a decent establishment, it is clean, I checked their most recent Department of Health inspections and they are good. The food is decent and edible, always hot and fresh probably due to the sheer volume of customers. read more

Merry Land Buffet - Fried rice, low mein, chicken brocoli, fried wings - Chinese Near Me - Bronx, New York

This place is UNSANITARY. I was hungry and wanted a quick bite. I saw one of the staff member clean the spoons that was used from someone else with a bucket of water. NO SOAP. She just dried it with a rag. And the plates were greasy. It's like they haven't washed it at all. It's disgusting. Knowing that there is a pandemic and you don't know if these people could be sick and you don't wash the dishes. And the food? A 0. Made my stomach hurt really bad. I don't recommend this place at all. read more

For the price I found it to be a great deal. It was 10.00 for dinner I think. The place is very busy with seating and take out option.I took advantage of the seafood options. They had a decent selection of seafood. Fried Pollack, shrimp, clams, and they also had fried crab. I took advantage of the seafood because it is my favorite. They also had very basic Chinese food beef/chicken options and they had a out two different fried rice. I dont know if they rotate the food or always offer the same options. If I am in that area of the bronx again I will stop by . read more

My children and I love coming here the food is fresh and stuff is very nice

Just walking by this restaurant is annoying because they have their restaurant advertisement playing repetitively over a loud speaker right outside their door. However, the price options for this buffet are great and affordable for almost anyone's income. But the food options are limited because most of the food offered is fried or just greasy. The take out and eat in meal options all include a beverage with your meal but be sure to remind the cashier because often times they will not offer the free drink. The seafood options are the best part of their buffet but the quality of seafood offered is definitely not the best. If you have ever been to a good buffet you will quickly notice what this one lacks but its good for a quick bite. read more

One of the problems that I have with this franchise is that you immediately get a "don't give a crap" vibe from the staff. And my husband and I used to say that it was probably from the type of clientele the place attracts. A lot of people that come to eat at the establishment are obnoxious and rude, and my husband and I began associating their disregard for our "hellos" and "thank yous" to their encounters with these other people. I can get over that. What I can't get over is my shellfish allergy, and unfortunately, eating at ANY Merryland Buffet is going to land me in the hospital. The obnoxious, rude individuals I mentioned earlier, scoop up shrimp, which are inconveniently placed next to rice, into the rice and don't mention anything to the staff who walk around to see if trays are empty but but don't change the pork fried rice that has shrimp scattered in it, when they see it. We've found another buffet that, although a lot farther, is a LITTLE better (they also mislabeled the egg rolls one day, and I took a bite of a shrimp roll). What saves them is the quality of their food, MUCH better than Merryland. That'll be our place, for now. But wouldn't recommend Merryland to anyone who wants a good quality, quiet meal or anyone who has food allergies. read more

It's an okay place... for the price. They need to expand their menu, or at least alter every month. Within hours, the food gets so dry. I don't know about most people, but I hate dry food. And they need another register. During lunch time, the line gets so long, and most people in their are on their lunch breaks from work. read more

Was looking for something quick since my bf and I hadn't eaten all day and didn't want to wait for our food to be prepared so we decided on Merry Land. I should have thought with my mind and not my stomach upon walking in the place looked very sketchy. There was a crowd of people around the buffet area. And just the crowd alone made me kind of uncomfortable, however we were extremely hungry and thought $9 was reasonable for a quick bite. The food was AWFUL and the sushi made gas station sushi taste like gourmet sushi. None of the food tasted as it should and the moment that I saw flies coming in from the open door, I immediately lost my appetite. A man came in and complained, because his "USUAL TABLE" was occupied, I'm not a snob nor do I feel like people should be discriminated against due to their hygiene or lack thereof, but when takeout is $4 per container you can imagine the type of people that this deal attracts. The buffet was unorganized and being bombarded by some odd characters. Might I add that I am writing this from my bathroom as my bf and I have been having stomach issues since the moment we walked out! read more

Sea food was very unclean to begin with. Per person it was 9.50 which isn't so bad. The soda was VERY watered down. In which I had to buy a separate soda to drink. Also, there's no ice cream and limited deserts. I actually found a dead ant in my dessert, I was eating oranges. I told one of the employees and she just looked at me in surprise and walked away. I liked however, that it wasn't so packed and the place was very clean. The bathroom didn't look as sanitized, but the sink was pretty clean in order to wash your hands comfortably. Overall food was alright but not the best. *********SUMMARY ********** - if you don't like a lot of vegetables don't eat the rice - sea food unclean (and no seasoning) - soda and juice is watered down - price per person was 9.50 - Desserts -limited to none- - nice big sitting area - make sure to check your desserts/fruits (since I found ants) read more

Great Chinese food for $8 all you can eat, plus refills of soda. Fried Chicken, Shrimp, Boneless Spare Ribs, Chicken Fried Rice, Garlic Texas Toast, Chicken and Broccoli, Sweet Donuts, Crabs, Plantains, assortment of fruit, Egg Rolls, are just some of the food on Merry Land's menu. Much more subdued than the location on 149th Street. Love it. Service is great. read more

Great options and food and for such a low cost! You can get a meal, fruit and drink starting at $5.75 to go so I haven't stayed for a meal in the past year here so I don't recall the service. I like that they are constantly monitoring the food because there is always some person putting a scooper where it doesn't belong and they are right there to give you another. The food is always stocked up or there is someone coming from the kitchen with the tray of whatever you wanted to add to your plate next. My only problem is there is always a guy at the door asking for change and since they are cash only it is odd walking past him saying you don't have change. read more

Merry Land Buffet - Takeout dinner for $5.75! - Chinese Near Me - Bronx, New York

This is one of the best buffets that I have been to in a long time. My husband and I love to come here all the time. Either for a quick midday lunch, or for a nice dinner. We both love Chinese food, and we both love to eat. This buffet is very reasonably priced and it has a great variety of both Chinese and American foods. There is almost always a steady flow of diners, so the food is refilled often. I absolutely love this place! A night out for dinner for less than $20 per couple. Can't go wrong! read more

The price is very reasonable. You can't go wrong with a $9 all you can eat. They have seafood, chicken, meat, rice, vegetables, fruit, and ice-cream stations. The place is so so in terms of cleanness, and service of clearing your plates is so so. The food itself is okay, I had better but also had worse. They are constantly refilling the plates, so the food is hot and fresh. There is zero soups as part of the buffet. If your're strap on cash, come here. If not, and if your looking for very good food, avoid this place. read more

This place looks like a soup kitchen. Too many loiterers hanging around both inside and outside. The food is exposed due to the buffet style. People are reaching over the food, breathing on it, having conversations over it, etc. The food also looks dry and old. If ur hungry u may as well go to the Popeyes a few stores down. read more

This is our go to spot for a decent chicken teriyaki.for a very cheap price I love their fried rice, chicken teriyaki, tofu and fried chicken..we mostly get it to go because iy gets real.crowded. i love this placr read more

For a quick stop with friends, this place succeeded my expectations! A very good variety of foods, not a large restaurant, and the price was right! I came with 10 friends (on a Saturday) to eat lunch together. For 11 of us, the price came to less than $100.00 That is amazing! Food was delicious and it was fresh. read more

Its a buffet its nothing special all these spots have the same shit its nothing there really spectacular you get what you pay for the place is pretty much clean bathroom was awful staff watch you like hawks making sure you dont dont take anything only cause I was hungry and in the area I went in I will come back but definitely on a weekday weekends are crazy read more

This used to be my favorite buffet until today. I was there two months ago with my son and my boyfriend the food was amazing. Today I was there with my son and one of my little brothers and the food was HORRIBLE ! I will not recommend anyone to eat there nor will I ever go back I cannot believe how bad the food has gotten smfh. NEVER AGAIN SO HORRIBLE !!!!! read more

In My Opinion, The Staff is Helpful The food is delicious but the seating is very busy, However, I love this combo Fried chicken, Fried Shrimps and eggroll its Fantastic Give It a Try Guys!!! The General tso chicken is also delight for. Therefore, the seating limit is 60 minutes which is Great. read more

If you live nearby you would have preferred to just order Chinese food, real Chinese food! If you are looking for a place to eat you might fall into their trap once. Everything looks great but don't be fooled the sushi is made with sweet pickles instead of avocado ... Besides that everything practically has no flavor, that's by no means an exaggeration. This is very disappointing food. Try at your own risks, if anything the jello isn't bad so I guess you can binge on that if you really want to try the place. Honestly I'll never come back here unless I'm here as ghost haunting someone. read more

Love going here ...when it's not packed..food it good especially when it's fresh and hot

The food is good. It's all about preference. It's mostly Chinese food items that you would get from your local restaurant, but with some seafood and fruit for variety. I mostly go for the seafood. The have whole crabs, shrimp, mussels etc. The price is great. It is all you can eat with free drink refills, so that $8.75 price is really a pittance. read more

Great food, friendly staff, awesome prices. Good selection of food, not like other places that have the same thing every single day, they switch it up but it's always good. Unlike other Chinese food places in the area this one didn't give me any,- let's say "digestive problems", so it's very high up on my rating list. read more

Food selection is your typical greasy buffet.... wish they had more steam food like other buffets I've been to and a desert option would do wonders in here. Also if you're taking children make sure they dont have to use the bathroom the conditions are deplorable. read more

Merryland is chinese buffet with not much variety as people are saying, but they do keep the food fairly stocked. You have a choice of pepper steak, sweet and sour chicken, fried fish, spare rib tips, fried chicken wings, and yellow or brown fried rice. There's about 20 different choices and it does not change. More likely a customer will get only one plate, and leave. read more

It's okay. You pay for what you get. Not amazing food but not bad. It's really the kind of place you go when you're hungry and want something quick and easy and don't want to spend a lot of money. Not much for service and the food is mediocre at best but that's about it. read more

The food selection is good, the eating area is big and comfortable. There's unlimited soda, and the price is $8.75 per person. The bathroom is always dirty and smelly try to avoid it at all costs. All in all it all you can eat and you can't beat that, my recommendation is to go in the afternoon when all the food they are putting out is fresh. Its great for kids to with all the deserts they have, vanilla pudding, sugar donuts, jello, fresh fruit and more. They also have free parking in there parking lot so that's a mega plus. Give it a try and find out if its for you, I recommend at least one visit to gauge if it's to your liking. read more

Place is gd when you want something quick place stays packed never come on a Sunday you will be pissed.

Find this place on Halloween. My boyfriend decided to try it out. When we told the lady we was eating there she then snatched the money out of my boyfriend's hand. Didn't sit us at a table first. The food choices was a disappointment. The shrimp wasn't cleaned. The sushi wasn't real sushi it was a old dried piece of chicken wrapped in rice and seaweed. The waiters didn't greet us bye. read more

I mean it's a buffet so don't expect a five star plate but for 5.75 and 6.25 you can get a variety of Chinese dishes in one plate to go. The reason I gave it two stars cause usually this is the my last option if everywhere else is to heck-ted or busy plus it's close by but if hungry yes this spot a definitely do the job. read more

Food is okay but what do you expect from a cheap chinese buffet....the waitress here is very rude though so I would say to take out...but the overall quality is decent read more

My fiancé just came in there with his two friends the food is cold, service sucks and the table was dirty as hell. The food selection was awful today.....For the price its good but the food sucks today and this isn't the first time he has gone there. He will never come back to this buffet at all. The rating I'm giving is NO STARS HORRIBLE...Also the clams weren't cleaned properly if they had a funny smell. The restrooms were the worst ever as well, he would rather use the bathroom in a alley. The silver ware wasn't that clean either...DONOT GO TO THIS BUFFET ITS REGULAR CHINESE FOOD FROM THEIR RESTURANT.:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(: read more
