    Stuffed Clams
    Anna W.

    I'm not familiar with many Chinese buffets around Buffalo, but Mongolian Buffet is definitely better than any places I have tried in the past. It's a fun restaurant to dine in. Saturday late afternoon was busy, but everything looked clean and tidy. I could see all kinds of customers enjoying themselves. Only one lady openly complained. It was too long, she thought, with no crab legs, but eventually she got what she wanted. It's average priced, so expectations should be adequate. I was actually surprised how tasty and fresh the raw clams and seafood in general were. The tray with freshly prepared cuttlefish looked impressive. On the other hand, the selection of sushi rolls was pretty lame and didn't taste anything good. Even the seaweed salad wasn't the best for reasons not exactly clear to me. There was just something odd about it. This buffet allows you to try a little bit of everything which looks appetizing and desirable. I'm sure there is something for everyone. Besides classic Asian dishes, I saw delicious looking roasted pork, freshly served and still steamy hot. I saw pizza, french fries, along with mashed potato and gravy as well. Hibachi is available, too. Just choose all ingredients and the chef will cook it in front of you. I never have desserts besides sesame balls which weren't available this time, unfortunately. The service was really nice. No single complaint.

    Sushi, sautéed vegetables, egg rolls, sweet and sour chicken

    Honestly not sure why the ratings are so low but this place is awesome! I would definitely come back here to eat and my rating is 5/5 all around for food and service. The place is clean. They give everyone gloves for the buffet so you have to use the glove for every touch point (plates, serving spoons) at the buffet stations. All staff are wearing masks. They have staff coming by every table to pick up even just 1 plate! They also have staff checking the cleanliness around the buffet trays and wipe up even the smallest spill. Also I watched 2 different families with little kids eat and as soon as they left, the staff was right behind them at the table cleaning up the mess. They don't want anything looking messy at all! Totally appreciate that. As far as the food, everything was excellent and definitely what you would expect at a Chinese buffet. The food was hot and it did not seem that anything was sitting around at all. Also this place serves sushi and hibachi all day! Very good options! Overall I recommend this place if you're looking for good Chinese options and you want a variety of foods. 5/5!!!

    Eggroll was over fried

    My review is based off of their takeout food, not based off the buffet. Their takeout menu is extensive but the food quality is what you would expect from a buffet place. No, I do not think they just picked what I ordered off of the buffet table, but yes it was low quality, cheap ingredients. I order the same thing from every Chinese restaurant - Shrimp Mei fun, crab ragoons and an egg roll. Prices were pretty average. The shrimp Mei fun was a MASSIVE portion of Mei fun where they added unseasoned shrimp ontop of when they were packaging it. It was very obvious the shrimp and the noodles were not cooked together. The flavor of the noodles was a tad bland also, but throw a cup of soy sauce on it and it's fine! They sure loaded me up with shrimp! The crab ragoons were pathetic. Like liquid cream cheese inside. No crab (not even imitation crab) or onions or seasoning. And so so so very greasy. It tastes exactly like a microwaved plain bagel with cream cheese on it. You know how it get chewy? Yea, just like that. The pork eggroll had food flavoring. It was a little overcooked, but overall it was alright. I don't know, maybe the buffet would be more impressive? But the takeout left something to be desired. I would stick with takeout from a regular Chinese restaurant for better quality food options.

    Food never disappoints. Our waitress was so sweet. Ambiance of the steaming food was exquisite.

    They have roaches and when told they said they sprayed the day before. That is no excuse. This is disgusting

    They have roaches. When shown the roach on the plate their response was that they sprayed the day before. That is not a good reason. Are there rat feces in the back too?

    A great choice for Chinese Buffet in south Buffalo! Numerous kinds of food with good quality. Price was reasonable for lunch on Saturday! Staffs were nice! It was clean! I bet you will find your food or dessert there! My recommendation is beef pie, sushi, hibachi, chicken teriyaki!

    Below average even for a buffet. Everything I got was either cold or Luke warm. Only item hot was the hibachi grill which was just ok.

    This place is truly extraordinary. The food, service, and people made my first experience at…read moreMulberry Italian Ristorante one to remember. The cherry on top? They have amazing vegan options, which made the experience even better for me. Before I jump straight into the review, let me encourage you to pull up OpenTable and start looking for a reservation NOW. This place gets busy! Located in Lackawanna in what feels like a quiet residential neighborhood, Mulberry delivers an authentic Italian dining experience. And when I say they are generous with their portions, I mean it--bring your appetite! The Atmosphere The atmosphere is the ultimate vibe. It has that lively, energetic feeling that makes you want to settle in and stay awhile. The only small drawback is that it can get rather loud, especially when the restaurant is busy. The Service Our waitress, Tara, was fantastic. She was informative, patient, and helpful while we took our time deciding what we wanted to try. The Appetizers For appetizers, we started with the Caprese, chicken wings, and meatball. The meatball is one of the most recommended items whenever you search for Mulberry--and after seeing it in person, I understand why. For starters, this thing is basically the size of a softball, covered in cheese. The table thoroughly enjoyed it, along with the restaurant's well-known chicken wings. The Main Course For dinner, everyone at the table went in a different direction. Lasagna -- 8/10: Two guests ordered the lasagna, and both rated it around an 8 out of 10. The Gravy -- 8.5/10: This menu special featured St. Louis ribs, broken meatballs, crumbled sausage, and penne pasta, all covered with mozzarella cheese. It was definitely a hearty dish. Milano with pepperoni -- 8.5/10: Another guest ordered the Milano and added pepperoni, which was a hit. Chicken Violanti -- 9/10: This was probably the most appealing dish to me visually from a plate presentation standpoint, even as a vegan. It featured Parmesan-crusted chicken, sliced tomato, provolone cheese, lemon butter sauce, and a potato croquette. My pasta -- 9/10: I ordered the rigatoni à la carte with red sauce and vegetables. It was simple, flavorful, and exactly what I was looking for. Miscellaneous A few other things worth knowing before you go: The restaurant has a ramp and is wheelchair accessible, with a first-floor entrance. They offer vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. Parking can be a challenge because the restaurant gets so busy. There is a small parking lot connected to the building, additional parking across the street, and plenty of free street parking. The dining room is spacious and accommodating for different group sizes. I also heard that the bar gets decked out in Christmas decorations during the holiday season, so I'm definitely curious to see that for myself! Final Thoughts My first experience at Mulberry Italian Ristorante was a great one. Between the generous portions, lively atmosphere, attentive service, and variety of options, there was something for everyone at the table. As someone who appreciates having vegan options available, I especially appreciated that I wasn't limited to just a salad or side dish. If you're thinking about trying Mulberry, make that reservation and come hungry!

The staff is always…read moreincredibly friendly (though the older dude we had last time was a little too customer service-y no matter how much we tried to just talk real) and the place has a close quarters but still calm and collected vibe. The food and drink are always exceptional. Whether you order off the regular menu or grab one of the specials, it's always exceptional. We've been several times now and gotten the cajun pasta, meatballs, fish of various sorts, crab rangoon appetizer, etc. Everything always comes out in a reasonable amount of time - never too fast or too slow - and is always solid. The cocktails are also on point with both the classics and a couple modern takes here and there. If I had to pick on anything (aside from trying to sell A5 Wagyu for $160 and claim it's breaking even), is the menu they put on their own website. Someone took a grainy cell photo and put it up there. Come on guys, some has the digital original. Just copy/paste. All in all, fabulous place that I can't say enough good things about. Make sure to get a reservation well in advance or you won't get in, especially on a busy night!

Friends of mine called to make reservations and asked for outdoor seating because the husband is undergoing chemotherapy and is severely immunocompromised. When told there was no outdoor seating they requested a table in a corner or away from the more congested areas of the restaurant. They were told no accommodations could or would be made. Shame on you! The food, the service, and the ambiance all become irrelevant when you fail the most important test: the ability to show a little human decency. Rest assured, I will never eat in your restaurant again nor will anyone I know. And your lucky my Italian grandmother is not still alive or I'd have her cast a spell on your heartless establishment.
