Just left a couple minutes ago love the food it's always good no complaints there. How ever the hosts are extremely rude, disgusting & disrespectful! I go often and I always give a tip but there are going to be days where I just don't got for tip and when you don't tip them they get so rude and disgusting with they attitude! The one even snatched the fortune cookies from my hand kicking me out just because I couldn't tip her & that is NOT okay! if I have it and I'm able to tip I certainly will but if I don't have it you cannot get mad just because of a tip!!! read more

Used to eat here all the time, came back for the first time in a while since moving out of the area. The food there was so dry and clearly had been out for way too long. The ceiling has spider webs, theres random flakes of ????? floating around in the community soy sauce everyone has to share from, and the rice from the sushi was crunchy stale. Also apparently they just charge you an extra 5 dollars per person just because its Sunday so its impossible to feel like leaving you got any of your moneys worth. This place has gone downhill so bad its just pathetic really, dont bet your afternoon meal on this place. read more

Went here on a recommendation from a friend. It took us a while (approx 5 min) to be seated. They were not that busy. The buffet had a nice selection for Asian and American foods. The food was good. The place got knocked down on stars for just ok food. However the bathrooms we very dirty and in kept. read more

Went there for Lunch , mainly for the crab legs. When we got there (at 11:45) the crab leg tray was empty. About 25 minutes later they refilled it. These crab legs were the absolute worst crab legs I have ever tasted. They were tasteless and seemed to be very old. They tasted like that were boiled in 3 week old water that wasn't seasoned with salt or anything. On a positive note, the rest of the food wasn't bad. It was actually pretty good. read more

I really enjoy eating at the mongoloid buffet. It was really goot. I like to watch TV

If you want to be badgered by the waitress for a tip when she comes to take your payment, then go here.

We ate food was good come to eat out Chinese cookies laughing having good time waitress keeps circling our table like a hawk I am like wtf really.

This place gets a solid 4. Been here twice already and the first time I came here was a 3, but the second time i came here gets a low 5, so Ill rate it somewhere in the middle. The second time got a higher rating because the sushi chef was putting put a lot of tamago and also lots of Maguro Red tuna instead of that white tuna stuff that everyone else passes at "Tuna". The food looked fresher the second time around also. They had this big prime rib that you cut your part and had the guy at the grill cook it. They also had this great tasting Pork lion that was VERY good. I couldn't stop eating it, it was so flavorful. They also have the usual chicken items. Bbq chicken, general tso, teriyaki chicken. Their teriyaki chicken tasted old and i only had like two bites and I couldn't eat it anymore. My favorite food I love every time coming to buffets is the Coconut shrimp. I don't know what they put in it but that dish i cannot get enough next to sushi. They also have bacon wrapped shrimp. Those are always good. Pretty much sushi, any only big meat products, coconut shrimp, & maybe some chicken items are my favorite. Couple things they could improve on was the baked deserts. The baked deserts seem to be lacking. I had a few items, but nothing really great that stood out. Second was refilling the crab legs. I don't eat any crab legs, but the refill times on those were really slow epically compared to other items that were out. Over all, this place is one of the better Chinese buffet that I have tried in the area especially compared to that one in Erie, PA that I tried recently and I will be back. read more

The lunch special is $7.99 and well worth it when you get there early! Everything is stocked, filled and most importantly, fresh. Tonight was my first time coming here for a Sunday dinner. Arrived right before 8, well over 2 hours before closing. Almost everything was out and we sat there waiting for any refills. Most things were luke warm and I chose to just use the hibachi station and fresh salad station until enough people complained to have the crab station (it's main attraction) refilled- at 9:30PM. We decided to eat a few before leaving to make up for the $16.79 (tax) and $19.55 (with soda) we spent on the food. Disappointed at how we watched the staff tell us and others more refills are coming in hopes of deterring us from waiting. The manager even told us their was an unusual high volume of people tonight (at 8 the place was not even 1/3 full). It'll be awhile before I come back. read more

The best thing about this restaurant is its price. I went with a group of 13 people on a saturday night and it was $12.99 for an all-you-can eat dinner! Considering the price, the taste and quality of the food was compromised (especially the sushi) BUT they did have a great variety of meat, seafood, vegetables, and the basic staples of a decent buffet. They do have shrimp, raw oysters, raw clams, and snow crab legs which made me quite happy! Meat-wise, they had some Mongolian bbq options as well as a hibachi section. I don't eat meat but based on what the rest of my party ate, it didn't seem too bad. I would say the seafood was more popular and tasty though. Dessert - decent selection of cakes but they had a good variety of ice cream! Mint chocolate chip and butter pecan was tasty - they even had a flavor known as the "trash can" Overall, a good deal for the quality and amount of food you are getting! read more

Went there for a dinner buffet on a Friday. Place was very busy, which meant the food was freshly cooked. The selection and flavour left a lot to be desired though. Many options were incorrectly labeled. Fried squid was so chewy it was inedible. Wonton soup has very little flavour. Dumplings are very chewy. Honey chicken was decent, sweet & sour is your standard (nothing exciting there). When I saw the hibachi option I was excited. But after going over and trying to ask the cook some questions, I lost interest. He didn't speak english and couldn't explain any of the options sitting before him. You'll also want to skip the sushi. Although it is freshly rolled, it tastes like the fish has been sitting around a while. Ingredients don't seem fresh in general for many of the dishes there. read more

Been going every Friday like clockwork for years. Solid buffet. The right balance of food, quality and price. Hope to see ya there.

Hands down one of the best experiences I have had at a restaurant. Staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. We went in at about 9pm, they closed at 9. Staff refused our efforts to speed things up for them (pay bill early, clean up table, etc). And let's be real, it's a buffet an hour before closing, the food has been sitting for a little while, but was still great. Crab legs were on point, general tso's was crispy. Everything tasted hot and fresh. And I cannot say enough about the entire staff. They were a shinning example of excellent customer experience. I cannot say enough good things about this place and cannot wait to go back. read more

The people demanded me and my bf to leave a tip when tips are not mandatory and they don't even serve you the food. Very rude to beg for a tip.f read more

I'm not much of a complainer but this one set me off, I've always loved this place and really never had a issue with the food or people. So i paid the bill with a gift card, they took the bill so fast from me i didn't even get to see how much it was, then the lady demands me for a tip. IN MY WHOLE LIFE IVE NEVER been asked to give a tip, very disrespectful when tips are not mandatory and they don't serve me my food. Never going back use to love this place but this is awful, demanding me for a ti read more

We went there to eat because we just wanted to sit somewhere and eat while we were in the area. All was well until we were signing the check and heading out. No tip was added because the food was iffy, the lady picks up the check and proceeds to say "no tip" and circled where the tip would go. My mom proceeded to say no thank you and started walking to the door, mind you we were sat farther away from the door, the lady then FOLLOWED my mom to the door saying "no tip!" while slapping the check on the clipboard. TERRIBLE SERVICE!! read more

For those who are interested in a quick, filling, and cheap meal, this is the place to go. For dinner ( which includes a selection of seafood choices), it was about $17. Just like your average buffet, there is a wide variation of food - from sweets such as ice cream, jello, cookies, to your savory such as sushi, lo-mein, seafood, etc. One thing you have to remember, many do come for the seafood so it is a fast mover dish. The good thing is, they do refill the dishes that are cleared rather quickly. In regards to the savory dishes, there is a fair amount of carbs and protein dishes. I love the stuffed mussels and seafood. However, all the savory dishes are rather "oily". One thing that did turn me away was the utensils. Often times, you may want to whip it or make sure it is fully clean before using it. This goes for the tongs that you use to grab which ever food you want or the ice cream scooper. Overall, this place isn't too bad since the selection of food is vast. However, the quality of food may not be superb. read more

I had dinner there tonight with my friend, the food was okay but the service was extremely lousy. We got done eating and went to get our check and our server solicited a tip. She would not let up and when we told her that she was not going to text she told us to f*** off leave the restaurant. They will never get my business again. read more

After many bad reviews I was very leery about eating here. My cousin was having a gathering here for her sons birthday as he requested. So, between a family gathering, mixed reviews, the fact they have been there so long and they survived COVID, I figured; how bad could it be. Besides, everyone has their days. Of course when going out to eat you expect it all; cleanliness, great customer service, better food than you can make at home and a decent price. That is how it should be anyways and nothing less. Well, I must have went on a GREAT day. Saturday afternoon. The food was hot, fresh, delicious and the place was very cute in its decor. My only complaint is the sushi area. It's open and exposed to all aliments, not to mention it's not properly kept at the correct temperature so it looks dried out and risky to eat. I passed on the sushi. You're probably thinking, it's a buffet. Everything is exposed. Of course there is always a risk with buffet but for the most part I like to believe people are conscious about buffets and they have the food shields protecting them. The sushi did not. read more

For a 12 dollar buffet the food Is alright for the fact that you can't expect much for a 12 dollar buffet. I asked if they had lemonade, in which they said yes, when I returned to the table I actually received an iced tea instead, not much to complain about although it was annoying. Me and my friends are a few plates and the waiter returned and asked if I wanted lemonade again, came back and asked if I had iced tea instead and I finally received lemonade. While we were still obviously eating, the waiter came up with the check which seemed very rude almost asking us to leave. We ate another plate and got more drinks, one in which looks to have a finger nail clipping in it. We just decided to finish up and start to split the check. Now if you've never been here before, PAY EXACT CHANGE OR THEY WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY. My bill came out to about 16$ in which I gave the waiter 20$ same with my friend, neither of us received our change in the few times that we have came here. They did not ask if we wanted the change, they did not ask if the extra cash was a tip, nothing. They just assumed the extra cash was their tip without even asking. Because of this we just simply decided to not leave a tip as they practically stole their tip for themselves anyway. Overall it's an ok place to eat if you're on a budget but there are nicer places to eat, but as it being a buffet you can eat as much as you possibly can for just about 12$ which is nice, but they will steal their tip. read more

Mongolian Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Blasdell, New York

Came here on Oscar night despite being burned by Chinese buffets in the past because I was worried the movie I hate was going to win and wanted to soothe the anxiety with an unlimited amount of food. But it was surprisingly great -- lots of options, all reasonably fresh and hot and tasty, when I would have been satisfied with any two of those things. The spicy chicken was spicy, the ginger fish was tender and flavorful, and I know no one goes to these things for the fried food, but they also had mozzarella sticks, which I love and appreciate knowing there's a place I can go to eat an unmoderated amount of fried cheese. Another surprise contender: the roast pork shoulder, which was juicy and fall apart. In conclusion, Mongolian Buffet is a solid, solid buffet choice and How to Train Your Dragon: the Hidden World is a gross movie. read more

Have not been here in quite some time. My group of 6 who went were all disappointed. Maybe just an off day but not as good as anticipated. It's a bit of a ride so not sure if we will do it again. read more

Came here to feed a group of six of us and was worth the price. Fed everyone for $84 and none of us left dissatisfied. Typical Chinese buffet fare with some American dishes mixed in. The fruit and salad bar featured several exotic fruits that we gave a try and enjoyed. Some of the food was a little bit dried out and due to the fact we got there around 7:30 p.m. they were not in a big hurry to put any new fresh food out. Staff was friendly. read more

absolutely horrible , waitresses are not attentive, I asked for a replacement of a sprite which tasted like mildew. A good indication of unclean machines or bad ice. She proceeds to replace the Sprite with Iced Tea as I asked. The thing is she took a half full cup in the busing area from another person's table, added ice and topped off with iced tea from the machine. In this time of viruses you'd think they'd be careful . Needless to say I didn't drink it. Amazing how anyone wouldn't believe that the CCP is responsible for Covid . place really sucks will never come back again. will call the health department Monday morning. read more

Now I am just a young man and I felt very uncomfortable after leaving this restaurant. I went in here with a group of friends, we were very respectful and followed all of their safety protocols for covid. We were stared at for the entirety of our meal. And when leaving was the worst part. All of us were questioned about our signatures after paying, the lady even followed us out of the building asking us if they were our real signatures. No one else there was questioned about their signatures, so we can only assume it's because we were young. But we all paid for our meals so we didn't really understand what the big deal was or why this happened? We were very upset with how we were treated by the staff is all we can say. read more

This is our favorite chinese buffet to go to. We drive about 40 minutes away from home to come here. Huge selection of tasty food including a huge salad and sushi bars. Wait staff is super quick at clearing plates and refilling drinks that you don't even see them do it most of the time it's like they have gifts like the flash or those invisible X-Men. The McKinley mall is right there for shopping before/after. EAT HERE...ENJOY! read more

I absolutely love this place! It has every kind of Asian fast food imaginable- Japanese (sushi, sashimi, shanu shabu), Chinese, Seafood (oysters, shrimp, squid) and American (mozzarella sticks, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes)! Not all are delicious, but I give them credit for the diversity! There is probably Mongolian food too, I just don't know the difference.. Ambiance: fish decorations, flowers, and lots of tables and booths. Exactly what you might expect to see at a buffet of a relatively good size. Service: I'd rate it a 6/10, they don't really bother you or watch you, but they do make their rounds. When they pass by they will definitely take empty or unwanted plates and refill your cup ASAP. If you are high maintenance you might think the service is 2/10.... but I don't really like getting bombarded so I quite enjoyed just enjoying my partner's company. Variety: 10/10 Quality: 8/10 (sushi isn't very good but hey I really cannot complain. Love the Asian fried chicken, broccoli, they cook their pork ribs really well, fish is good too. Dessert is okay but I love how they have pastries and fruits. Because my diet is like that of an older person... the heavier the dessert, the higher the chance I get for heartburn...love the oranges! But they have jello and ice cream for the kid in you! Price: Great. Two people for dinner? About $31 with tip, obviously feel free to tip more! And that's all from this @NewYorkOholic :) read more

This buffet is a little farther away from our house than other options, so our hungover selves only visited it for the first time this past Saturday. Everything we had was excellent. As another Yelper noted, steam was coming off of the food, which indicated to me that it was very, very fresh. They have a nice little selection of sushi, which tasted very fresh, as well. There are plenty of traditional plate options, as well, including mac and cheese and fried foods. There are definitely enough choices to satisfy any pallet! read more

Went in for lunch and my Asian waitress called me a "ZHU" which means "PIG" in Chinese!!! I can't believe people that come from other countries and speak there language here think that no one knows any Language but English! Wake up "RUDE IMMIGRANTS"!!! I guess 3 plates of Food at a Buffet means your a Pig!! I've been a Server in the past so I'm not rude or pushy and I tip well sooo WTF MONGOLIAN BUFFET??!! Shut UR rude Chinese mouths!!! NEVER GOING BACK!!! RUDE AND INSULTING!! read more

No. No, no, no. No. I will not be returning to Mongolian Buffet. I was brought here under the pretext of "great Mongolian food". Since my cell phone was having reception issues, I was unable to verify this. Well, thanks a lot, AT&T. Thanks to your network, I got to experience what was one of the saddest Chinese buffets (with a small "Mongolian" grill in the back). Even with the graded curve for Chinese buffets, this one ranks quite low. The selection was small, the food was not flavourful (unless extremely fishy mussels are your thing) and the selection for the "Mongolian" grill were limited. The service was not very existent. Dirty plates sat around for a while. Water glasses ran low. I think it cost us about $13-15 per person for the buffet. To say it was not worth it would be an understatement. Yet, this place was packed to the gills. We had to wait 20 minutes to get a table. (given the abundance of delicious and cheap restaurants in Buffalo, I don't understand this. ) If you are debating Mongolian Buffet, I recommend the Chipotle near by instead. read more

Avoid at all costs. Visibly and disturbingly dirty. Mongolian was mega salty and undercooked. Buffet food was dry and had obviously sat out all day. Salad vegetables withered and brown. Ice cream was literally slimey. Insects all over the restroom. Management's attitude? "Whatever". Better to just stop at Tops for a frozen dinner, it'll be better than this atrocity. read more

Some might disagree with a 5 star rating, but let me explain why I feel this place deserves it! First of all - there was plenty of parking and I even got a shady spot under a tree. Second, there was no line, which means I didn't have to wait. The list is going to go on and on here. The selection of food was CRAZY and you could see how fresh it was and HOT - there was constant steam coming off the food and the food that was supposed to be cold was COLD! This is a good sign that food temperatures were controlled and regulated well. Price - come on folks - I had all you could eat crab - plus sushi and hibachi and everything else - it really doesn't get better. Plus I had no choice to eat slow because of those crab legs - lots of work, but I love crab legs! Service - though they didn't bring me my food - they kept our table cleared and for four audits, a child and a baby that was pretty impressive if you ask me. I Tried many things today and not one thing was bad - I liked it all and therefore - I will gladly be returning to this place - just cannot believe I had never tried it before. If YOU haven't given it a try - you might want to stop by the next time you visit the Mall - Savers - or any other place around OR you could just go to this place and save your money! read more

My fiancee and I went last night. It was a waste of money. When we walked in, the manager was slouching over the counter very unprofessionally. He was very rude and hasty when he greeted us, then ushered us to a table where he proceeded to YELL at the server in front of us. The food was ok. For two adults, we paid $35 for two buffets and two soft drinks, plus a $5 tip. We were in & out in about 25 minutes. For the price, this buffet is not worth it. Both times I've been there, it was a VERY noisy environment, very crowded, children running around everywhere, dirty floors, patrons coughing all over the food... This place charges too much for the low-quality dining experience they provide. Wish we had gone to Olive Garden instead! read more

Went here last night for the Hibachi. For two people, the buffet and drinks were $33. They had a huge selection of chinese food standard offerings, fresh seafood, sushi, etc. I didn't get to sample the buffet personally but was told that the food was decent. The hibachi had a good selection of meats. I wish there were more choices for vegetables and there were really only 3 sauces available - spicy, teriyaki and "hibachi" - which was very salty and seemed to have a lot of soy sauce in it. They also offered garlic or ginger to add to the sauce for variety.. I was hoping to find a garlic sauce on the bar, but the hibachi sauce was fine. I loaded up a plate of noodles, meat and veggies, and that's all I ate for dinner. It was a good choice and worth the sacrifice of not sampling the buffet too. We plan on going back and I will make sure to try the buffet next time as well! read more

I've been here several times and I've never had a bad experience. My husband and I have come here for the buffet during lunch and dinner both during the week and weekend. I feel this buffet has a wide variety of food; seafood (clams, oysters, crab legs, fish) meats (chicken, pork, beef), vegetable dishes (string beans, mixed veggies, salads) chinese and american dishes and a wide assortment of sushi, and dessert foods (fruit and traditional sweets). I've been to a lot of bad buffets before, this isn't one of them. The quality is better at this buffet, and the food rolls out relatively quickly. I will and have come here numerous times! When my husband and I are in the area and don't know what to eat, we eat here! read more

This isn't the greatest food, but I'll give it 4 stars for filling the buffet gap in the southtowns. They have plenty of options including a basic hibachi and sushi. The buffet has small snow crab for dinner. You'll run into the hoarders who wait for the refill and take it all - so don't plan on it. Otherwise, it's a slightly above average Chinese buffet with some good ice cream for dessert. read more

everything was cold. all the seafood tasted fishy. staff touching food without gloves. staff shoving customers with no regard or apology. absolutely overcharged for cold gross food. was swore at by table staff for not tipping. health department was also at the front desk when we came in asking for a manager. read more

Went there again for Sunday buffet. There were snow crabs, raw oysters, raw clams, cooked baby clams, shrimp scampi, mussels, chilled calamari, baby octopus, crawfish and other usual buffet things. I went around almost 8pm and even though it closes at 10pm the food starts to stop coming out. The good thing is if you ask for it they usually will cook it and bring it out, but most people don't come this late so I would go earlier. Food quality-wise. The raw clam did seem dark yellowed color but no noticeable off-flavor. The raw oyster was not as sweet as the raw clam and seemed bland. Everything else was the usual. Some food did seem a bit dried up and empty but like I said try to go early probably around noon not couple hrs before they close. The price is a little high for Sunday but well worth it if you eat seafood. read more
