There are options for AYCE as well as by weight, and if you do by weight you have to weigh everything you get at the side buffet and only get meat from the counter, so we opted for AYCE because that seemed cumbersome. The service here was friendly and attentive and as long as your token is green, the meat literally comes nonstop! I really liked their sides and salads, especially the plantains and fresh fruits. The meats were perfectly done and though they didn't really ask, all my pieces were medium/medium rare which is how I like it. The cut that was infused with garlic was really good, as were the sirloin and the chicken hearts and spicy pork sausages. Some pieces were very salty, but I'm pretty sensitive to salt. The grilled pineapple was luscious. If we didn't already have cake waiting for us at home, I would have definitely indulged in some tres leches or lime cake. They ended the meal with cooked cheese dipped in honey or guava sauce which was interesting. The fresh fruit at the salad bar was really refreshing. I probably wouldn't come back because it's just way too much meat/food for me and not my usual favorite (also rather pricey for dinner/weekends). However, my family had a great meal here and I think it's definitely a step up from fogo de chao in terms of quality and service. If you're into Brazilian steakhouses (or steak in general) I would highly recommend this place.

I was very pleasantly surprised. All the meat that was brought to the table was very juicy and they…read morecome at a fast pace. They are friendly when they come by. The picanha and the lamb were my favorite but all the cuts of meat were good. The selection from the buffet was nice. It had more options than I expected and they even brought more delicious unique breads to the table (probably to fill you up faster). Only a few seafood options but all very tasty and refreshing. I was so full by the end I didn't even have room for the pineapple or to finish the grilled cheese, let alone even consider a dessert. They also served chicken hearts at my request. The decor and setting was much more fine dining style than I expected from the outside.

It was tasty, greasy (in a good way), and the spiced fries were a nice change up. My wife and I ordered a bottle of wine which was priced quite reasonably.

Walked in on day after thanksgiving for brunch, and this place was relatively quiet. We got an…read moreamazing booth seating, but really wanted their fancy bus seating which gives a classic diner feel to the restaurant. TL;DR - if you are from Bombay, are craving that specific Bombay Chinese food taste, and Vada Pav - look no further - this is the place. Most of their staff are fellow Mumbaikars - shout out to Shiv, Dhvani, and Ronak! Shiv, our server was friendly and our hungry table got straight to ordering which included a flavor packed and well priced Lychee Martini ($10), Masala Chai Hot Toddy ($12), and Spicy 'Lil Rita ($12) - being the best one! Food included some well name dishes like Kashmiri Deviled Eggs ($12), Vada Pav ($12), Rasam Risotto ($15), Butter Chicken Pot Pie ($20), Chicken Steak with Makhani Sauce ($18), Street Fried Noodles ($16), and Penne Pasta with Chicken for the kiddos. Food just hits the right spots and is very flavorful, extremely well seasoned, and perfectly spiced. Interiors and their bar is very inviting. Noise levels during our stay were on the lower end. Service was excellent. What was refreshing was they didn't charge us any automatic gratuity even for our large group - but absolutely deserved a generous one! Highly highly recommend if flavorful food is your thing!

I think there is a lot left to be desired here. I had a party of 7 with a reservation, but they…read morecould not seat us until 15 minutes after our reservation time. This is due partly to another party ahead of us not leaving promptly, but I think the restaurant could have been ready ahead of us as well. I will admit that I enjoyed the ambiance - it had nice low lighting with contemporary decor which made a nice dinner spot. The service in terms of both the waiters and kitchen did not feel timely either. It took a while for drinks to arrive and there were barely any water refills in general. We ordered four different dishes on our side of the table and they were somewhat bland. The vegetable momos definitely need some kind of sauce since they were lacking in flavor. We also got a curry chicken thigh, beef noodles, and butter tofu. I think only the beef noodles had a good enough flavor profile and kick to them. I was also surprised that the portion sizes weren't close to what you would expect for the price. I think with so many good south Asian spots in the area, it's hard to recommend Martsa. I might consider coming back if I learn that there is a particular dish that I am missing out on.

What an entertaining day at Encore! Spending all day playing whatever slot machines I wanted and…read moreenjoying the different choices to play was so enjoyable!

I rarely leave reviews like this, but my experience at Encore Boston Harbor was bad enough that I…read morefeel obligated to warn other business travelers. The problems started before I even arrived. I was traveling from Logan Airport and followed Encore's own website instructions for the shuttle. Those instructions were wrong. Because the hotel had not updated its posted pickup location, I spent roughly an hour walking around downtown Boston in the rain trying to find the shuttle. I called twice for help and spoke with two different representatives, both of whom were deeply uninterested and unable or unwilling to provide useful assistance. When I finally found the correct shuttle area, I waited even longer in the rain, only for the driver to tell me and two other passengers that we needed to get on a different shuttle that was already pulling away from the curb. We literally had to chase it down to catch it. Because of this, I missed a work meeting. Unfortunately, arriving at the hotel did not improve the experience. After standing in an excessively long check-in line, I finally got to the front desk, where the staff confidently insisted that I needed to pay the full room amount, even though my company had already paid for the reservation. At that point I was exhausted, wet, and late, so I paid it just to get into the room. Now my office manager is having to argue with the hotel because staff are apparently claiming I never had a reservation at all -- which is especially strange given that I am currently sitting in the room, and we have an emailed receipt showing that the room was already paid for. Even worse, the staff member speaking with my office manager has reportedly been snarky, condescending, and dismissive while she tries to resolve a problem created by the hotel's own systems. Rather than helping investigate the discrepancy, he appears to be treating her as though she is confused or incompetent. That is unacceptable customer service under any circumstances, but it is especially galling when she is the one trying to clean up Encore's billing and reservation mistake. This was not one minor inconvenience. It was a cascade of failures: incorrect transportation instructions, unhelpful phone support, chaotic shuttle coordination, a missed business meeting, a miserable check-in process, an apparent duplicate charge, and now a billing/reservation dispute being handled with condescension instead of professionalism. For a hotel that markets itself as a luxury resort, this was genuinely embarrassing. Nothing about this experience felt organized, hospitable, or guest-focused. It felt like a high-end property with low-end operations and staff who could not be bothered to solve problems they helped create. Encore Boston Harbor may be a great place to stay if you enjoy being wet, late, overcharged, dismissed, and treated like an inconvenience. I will not stay here again, and I would strongly caution business travelers against relying on this hotel for anything that requires competent logistics, accurate billing, or basic customer service. Beautiful building. Broken operation. Absolutely not worth the aggravation.

People complaining about the price have never been to Fogo de Chao or Churrascaria Plataforma. The…read moreAll You Can Eat is $27.99 on Monday-Friday and $32.99 on the weekends at Oasis. This is a steal for all the food. The picanha, garlic steak and sausages were delicious. You can also get different kinds of rice, beans, salad, veggies and more. The bbq was out of this world especially for the price you pay. You can tell them if you want medium rare, medium and more well done. The mango Caipirinha was good but nothing to rave about. The waitresses were also super friendly and helpful. There was even live music throughout the night. This restaurant has a casual vibe with repeat and local customers who enjoy good food. Would definitely visit again.

The BBQ meat is good enough to pull the rating up, but is definitely very salty. (Makes one want to…read moreeat more of the bread, I suppose.) Still, with inflation, the buffet price (28.50$ before tax and tip) is looking very reasonable. (And probably the by the pound price of 14$ is usually a better deal!) They've fixed the temperature issues from years ago; all the rice and such were expected temperatures. Service is nice but inattentive -- e.g. water was not refilled when plates were cleared.

FINALLY!! I found a place where I can thoroughly enjoy some Korean bbq!!!!…read more From the very attentive staff, and the HUGE selection of meats and side dishes, this place is a great choice! I selected the $30 all you can eat, and man oh man was that bulgoggi marinade delicious!! Not only the meats, but so were the side dishes/entrees that were a GREAT thing to have alongside and honestly a great bang for your buck! Yes, it's not IN Boston, but trust me, it's worth that uber ride or T ride!!

The AYCE Korean BBQ offered decent value for the price. The food quality was just okay overall, and…read moreit was apparent that some of the menu items were included more as fillers than standout offerings. The marinated meats were flavorful and enjoyable, while the non-marinated selections seemed to be of noticeably lower quality. The biggest drawback was the poor ventilation. We had a party of 10, and the smoke buildup became so overwhelming that the staff had to open the doors and bring out a large fan to help clear the air. It definitely impacted the dining experience. On a positive note, the staff was attentive and accommodating throughout the evening. Despite the ventilation issues, our group had a great time together and enjoyed the overall experience.

Amazing. Place is…read moreclean and they turn tables over really quickly considering how busy they are. They don't take reservations, but I arrived at 7:00 PM on a Friday and they got my party in within 10 minutes! It's AYCE but meat is extra and you pay per plate, but the meat is fresh and delicious and they give you a lot so the value is great ($3.50-$5.50 per plate). The bar has seemingly endless options and nearly everything is fresh! They're constantly replacing things so nothing is ever empty or sitting there for too long. Sauce bar has a great variety too! We filled up on so many of their AYCE options, we barely noticed that there wasn't meat. Even though the place was mostly self-service, the waitress was kind and visited a few times to make sure we had everything we needed. At the end of the meal, they have free soft-serve with cones! So good, I recommend the vanilla and green tea swirl. The prices are amazing for what you get here, fed two people and ordered a plate of beef at their busiest peak weekend hours and it was under $60!! Can't beat this place IMO. Best hotpot ever, 10/10!

This place is great!! First time here tonight with friends who have been here many times and…read moreintroduced us to it. They don't take reservations and it's just walk ins so it can be a wait. Even though we were there by 6pm and put names down for a table the wait was like 45 minutes! Clearly they are very popular and for good reason - it's an ayce buffet with hot pot! So to pass the time, we went next door to Petco and wandered around looking at the animals, fish in aquariums and birds/ parrots. We were seated in a corner table in the back and it was completely packed - it's quite a large space and looks recently renovated good lighting and modern decor. The buffet itself is huge quite extensive with all kinds of veggies, greens, starchy vegetables, tofu, fish cakes, imitation crab, noodles, and also a sauce bar with a very large variety of sauces. I filled my plate up and got a couple bowls of sauces. I got the kimchi broth while the hubs got the pork bone broth. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal! I ordered the chicken off the menu which was only $3 and the price of the buffet per person was $25 which is not bad at all for all the food there is. Oh and there is also a soft serve station with cones and vanilla and matcha flavors - hubs got a cone each! I tried the vanilla one it was great!! Best part there is free parking as it's a shopping complex. It was a bit tricky today as there a mountains of snow covering spaces, but we were able to find a spot! Overall a really great experience!! Will definitely be back!! Already looking forward to it!

I was totally shock on how good Tin Tin buffet was. Not saying it's the best AYCE Chinese buffet…read morebut for a neighborhood Chinese buffet, it does the job. For $20-$25, if you go on the weekends, it's dinner all day. I recommend doing that rather than going for lunch time. If you attend dinner, they offer some of the best Cajun seafood boil. Take my word for it, you'll be surprised how good it is lol I come here often now with my friends just for the seafood boil. For what they're charging nowadays for fresh crawfish is ridiculous. Even the prices for frozen crawfish is crazy. I know, inflation and high demands. Sure lol I'll stick to a mid quality seafood boil any day. Next dish I LOVED was their salt and pepper fried shrimp. Jumbo shrimp that tastes fresh with the right amount of salt seasoning. I would definitely come back every other month lol

Food was not bad, average chinese cuisine and they were quick to replenish the food and keep the…read morecounters clean. The restaurant was festive, playing Christmas music and decorated for the holidays. Pretty cheap compared to other buffets in the area if you're looking for that. However, I had a pretty uncomfortable experience at my visit today that hadn't happened at prior visits. It was a slow Thursday lunchtime for them and we were instructed to seat ourselves after waiting a couple minutes for the host to finish her conversation with a coworker. We only got water for beverages and had our plates taken once and water refilled once. I didn't particularly feel like the service/attention to us was great, so I left a tip that I felt was appropriate. Most of the time we were eating, the servers were just sitting at a table talking with each other or on the phone as it was slow. The lady who was charging my card was staring at me and the screen to see what tip option I would select. When I put in a custom amount, she got upset with me and made a scene about it. I felt that this was not only unnecessary, but rude and caused a loss of a repeat patron to this business. My friend that I was with was visibly uncomfortable and he felt pressured to leave a bigger tip after I was charged first. Then as we walked out, the host was very dismissive to us when we said bye and to have a good rest of their day. Overall, at least for myself, this place isn't worth the lower price tag for service and food like that. It's unfortunate because prior to this experience, I was telling my friends about this place, but this will no longer be the case. Hopefully they can better their service standards.
