The all you can eat sushi is all good. There is so much different dishes to try but I never get past the sushi. The price is getting a little ridiculous the last time I went for two people with no drink was a little over $50. They charge you like 3 difference taxes plus a 10% Graduation cost even if your not there to celebrate someone's graduation or your own. Every month they charge that same 10% fee for whatever holiday is within that month. That's a lot of extra money everyday with every customer. The Price on the menu board is not the price at all. I ask every time why was I charged a few moor dollars then what is on that big menu board? They should just take it down and put a sign saying, we're going to charge this price today because the boss needs a new car! Other then that I can't complain about the all you can eat sushi because every where else it's hard to get a whole roll for under $20. read more

Food was great. Lots of choices. The sushi was surprisingly fresh. Chicken on a stick very juicy and flavorful. Roasted red potatoes deserve mention. Service was very quick and servers friendly. What was not good was the 12% service charge tacked on the bill! In Arizona this is a legal charge. What is not legal is FAILURE TO DISCLOSE SAID CHARGE WHEN BEING BILLED! This charge would not have prevented our eating here. But management obviously needs to train the staff to disclose this charge. But I am sure they purposefully fail to disclose this. Check your bill people. The law says you can dispute this charge to management if not disclosed, but they do not have to waive it BUT they can do so. read more

Number 1 Buffet - UNDISCLOSED SERVICE CHARGE OF 12%. PRETTY HEFTY CHARGE TO ADD PROFITS! - Buffets Near Me - Avondale, Arizona

This place is insanely busy! Went on a Sunday afternoon and omg this place is poppin'. They know how to efficiently get people in and out and have a number system. Wait time was estimated 25 minutes and it wasn't bad. They definitely need more space for a waiting area. Once my boyfriend and I's number got called you get escorted to pay then escorted to your table. It's a really nice clean buffet compared to other Asian buffets and has just about everything the same I can get at Pacific but they do have more selection at the sushi spot, more seafood choices (we went Sunday so you'd probably see it Sunday or dinner time). With how busy it was you know the food was kept rotating and fresh. Price wasn't bad but did notice that service fee they sneakily add to your receipt. It wasn't a bad buffet. I wouldn't say number 1 buffet just because the name says so. I would say people go for the price. It's actually a good deal. read more

Not bad for under 15.00 bucks for lunch. Get the fresh made Hibachi noodles. I liked the fried shrimp and egg drop soup.

Best Asian buffet so far! This place has been busy since it open. Be warned the wait time is longer than they say. The pricing is really great especially since there is a discount for seniors. Call before going for a holiday. We went for Mother's Day and was not expecting such a big jump in pricing. There are lots of variety of food! It is very nice there have so many options for everyone. For the taste of the food and pricing it is definitely worth it. The food is hot and fresh. Customer service is okay. Restaurant is clean. There are lots of seating which makes it perfect spot for big groups! read more

I have been a loyal customer of Number One Buffet for years, visiting on average 3-4 times a month. My family is large -- typically 8-10 people -- and we even drive nearly an hour each time specifically because the restaurant has always been clean, consistent, and offered great variety. I have also brought many out-of-state visitors here because I trusted the quality. Unfortunately, my most recent visit was extremely disappointing. When we arrived, I paid at the front like always, including beverages for everyone. The cashier even repeated the beverage order multiple times. However, once we were seated, we were only given one drink and water. When I asked for the remaining beverages, I was told they were not paid for -- despite the cashier confirming the order. During our meal, one of my relatives found a long piece of hair in their food. I approached the manager to inform him, not to ask for a refund or any compensation, but simply to make him aware so it could be addressed properly for cleanliness and sanitization. Instead of listening, the manager immediately raised his voice and began arguing with me in front of everyone. He claimed he "cannot control customers," insisted the hair must have come from another customer, and repeated that I had to pay again for the beverages that were already included in the order. At no point did he apologize or show any concern. What made the situation worse is that he had been standing behind me earlier, clearly hearing my conversation with the waitress requesting a manager, yet he only approached once confronted -- and in the most unprofessional way. His behavior was careless, dismissive, and completely unacceptable, especially toward loyal customers who continue to support the business regularly. I left extremely disappointed and unhappy with this visit. At this point, it is their loss, as I will be taking my business elsewhere and will no longer recommend this restaurant to friends, family, or visitors. Good customer service and basic respect matter, and this experience clearly showed that it is no longer a priority here. read more

I visited Avondale No.1 buffet today, and I am absolutely furious about their dishonest billing practices. Writing this to warn everyone so you don't get ripped off! After they swiped my card, the server ONLY handed me the credit card slip (Merchant Copy) to sign. As you know, it only showed lines for "Tip," "Total," and "Signature." There was NO itemized receipt included at all. I felt something was off, so I asked the server for the itemized receipt. They looked extremely reluctant and annoyed but finally printed it out for me. When I looked at the actual receipt, I was shocked: THEY HAD ALREADY AUTOMATICALLY CHARGED THE GRATUITY!!! This is incredibly shady. If I hadn't spoken up and insisted on seeing the itemized receipt, I would have filled out the tip line on the credit card slip and ended up double-tipping! They are intentionally hiding the itemized receipt hoping customers won't notice and will pay extra. Word of advice: When dining here (or anywhere), if they only give you the credit card slip, DEMAND to see the itemized receipt first! Don't let these dishonest businesses trick you out of your hard-earned money. read more

Very, very busy. Food lines in all directions. Pd. $53 for 2 meals, 1 soda and 1 hot tea (and that'swith the senior discount)!! Few servers to clear tables and no condiments on the tables. Buffet food not clearly ID'd and worst of all, none of the food was hot... luke warm at best!! Lo mein; faux egg rolls (only thin, small shrimp rolls); orange chicken, shrimp dishes; wonton soup without wontons; etc., etc. etc. My first time there was my last time there!! A total ripoff and the best part was driving home!! read more

Great Asian buffet in the AZ valley. New food is constantly coming out. And there's a good selection across the board The good: -Lots of tables. Great for large groups. -pretty sizable selection. It's larger than most and comparable to Las Vegas buffet. -location is ideal and close to the freeway. Also it's in a nicer shopping complex. -food is hot and fresh -ice cream and desert options available The bad: -Lines are long, sometimes ridiculously long. Expect 2 hours during peak hours. There's no online queue or way to see a number. Their estimated wait times are completely off. The 4 times I've been here, they always ran behind by around 30 minutes for a group of 4 or 6. -Tip culture is out of hand here. Workers expect a big tip, but it's just a buffet and bare minimum service. read more

My second time here. The food is a lot better than last time but still just simple buffet style. Got charged a 12% percent service fee ?? Don't know what that's for. I guess just another way to make more money. Ordered Mongolian dish where they cook the food up for you. While I waited for my food they thought I left and cleared my table. Thank got nobody else was sitting there when I got back. read more

Our favorite Asian buffet! Let me start by saying I'm not a fan of buffets in general. I'm a germaphobe and prefer not to eat at buffets. But this place is our exception. All the food we try is great here. They have crab legs on Sat night and Sunday all day. Unlike other Asian buffets, they don't run out of it after 1 person. They stock everything well! It's very busy during lunch and dinner times so expect a wait! It's worth it though read more

They can accommodate everyone even the big party. the service was really fast too, they never change their service since the last time we came. the ambiance was still the same, it's not crowded even though there's a lot of people eating cause it's christmas day. read more

Excellent place to eat, all food was fresh and warm, they have all kinds of food from Chinese, Korean bbq, sushi and even boiling crab this place is amazing The service is also really good they keep on cleaning your plates of the table after each meal you finish. Highly recommend read more

if you're ever in Arizona and craving a ton of seafood without dropping big money, you have to check out this spot called Number 1 Buffet. It's $25 for dinner, and it's all-you-can-eat. I'm talking crab legs, seafood boil, crawfish, shrimp--and they even have raw oysters. But I'll be real with you--I've gotten sick twice from the oysters, so maybe skip those They also have a really solid poke bar, which I wasn't expecting! Like, you could build your own bowl and the toppings were actually fresh. The line can get long, so I'd go during off hours if you can. But honestly, once you're in--you'll definitely eat your money's worth. Is it on the same level as a Vegas buffet? No. But for $25? It seriously hits when you're in the mood to feast. read more

Well, I'm not a huge buffet guy,but I will say that Number 1 is hands down, the best Asian buffet that I've ever been to. We visited on a Saturday noon and were surprised to to see a line outside. This is a really big place! Fortunately, they really moved people through quickly. After about 10 minutes, we were greeted by a very friendly receptionist who promptly seated us. She was even courteous enough to ask if we were seniors for the discount. Right away our server, who was very nice, took our drink order. Wow, where to start, this place is huge. Buffet table after table. seafood, noodles, vegetables and much, much more! They even have a huge salad bar, Sushi bar and grill for custom assemble-yourself dishes. There are also plenty of appetizing desserts! There really is something for everyone. In all honesty, everything was fresh and delicious! There was nothing that had sat too long. I loved the BBQ ribs, stir-fried chicken, noodles and mushrooms the best! Yes, all very good, but the downside was, I left too full! There were more choices that I had ever had in any buffet! Yum! The service was friendly, the food very fresh and the prices reasonable. Number 1 is a home-run in my book! read more

Good quality food and quick service. It seemed like there was only 1 gentlemen running the tables and cleaning but he was very efficient! Many different varieties of eats from a normal Chinese buffet. Nice size dessert bar as well. I hope they keep up the quality and fair pricing because I like this buffet a lot. read more

Visit on a Wednesday about 2PM. Place was moderately busy. Pay as you enter system. Speed of check in was fine, we can't blame the restaurant for groups that walk up and are unclear on how many are in their group or who is paying (please, people, figure that out while you're waiting in line). Big selection. 6 soup kettles, about 50 hot tray on steam tables, 25 cold trays plus a stir fry station and sushi station. I would call the assortment Chinese and American, lots of salads but few cooked vegetables, lots of proteins and the staples of American Chinese food. I test the heat and cold of the steam trays and cold tables, they felt proper. Cleanliness was fine. Started with soup,veggies and whole fish. Soups were fair, the baby bok choy, bean sprouts and broccoli were excellent as was the mackerel type fish I had (see photo) . I had a variety of hot items and just found them regular. Pork ribs - too much BBQ type sauce. The fried chicken was marinated in something that made the chicken meat yellow and the texture was broken down. Of 10 trays, 4 really good, 4 so-so, 2 bad. The other reason for 2 stars is self service places that ask you to tip on the charge before even stepping in ( zero, but always have cash for the table) and a 12% service charge is added. What kind of tip is appropriate for a self serve buffet were the server just brings your beverage and silverware and removes plates? read more

To the guy who thought I cut in front of him at the host stand when I walked in from outside, and said I went in front even tho I didn't say one word and let him speak first, why were you standing off to the side?? You need to stand in front of the host so they see you. So I waited my turn cuz I have manners and....My party of 5 got seated with NO WAIT on a Sat nite when I spoke nicely to the host and he had to get a number and wait like the rest of the people. Karma is awesome!! Or maybe the host heard the guy's snarky whiny response "but she went in front" and felt bad for me lol. Now for my review. My first time here on Sat. May 31st. Arrived around 5pm expecting at least an hour wait based on reviews and others experiences. Restaurant is in big plaza so plenty of parking althought you may need to walk a bit. Looks like it was a former Claim Jumper based on exterior and interior but still modern. Saw lots of ppl waiting outside and inside lobby area so was sure we would need to wait. After I watched a couple ppl get numbers ahead of me, I walked up and the host said they would seat me and my family! OMG! I called my party in real fast and we went to pay at the cashier and gave drink orders. Mandatory prepay 12% tip which is well deserved. Got walked to our table and dove right in. I feel like the selection is so large it can be overwhelming but no complaints as the food was all fresh and hot. They kept bringing out new food. Since I thought there was going to be a wait I was hoping to be a bit more hungry, but I just took it slow and easy. I did a walk thru first just to see what was offered. Never piled too much food on my plate, but tried one or two bites of everything. Highly recommend sushi, sashimi, stir fry, and dim sum items. Would like to try hibachi station, cajun boil, and bbq meats next time. Not too crazy about the soups and desserts I tried. Server cleared dishes and refilled drinks quickly. It is loud and a tad chaotic, but we didn't mind since we know that's part of the experience. Pretty sure we stayed the allotted 90 min, but just to wait for the food to settle. Don't forget to ask for senior discount when paying if any in your party. I posted pics of the pricing when we went. 10/10 would come back again! read more

Number 1 Buffet - Prices as of 5/31/25 - Buffets Near Me - Avondale, Arizona

Some of the food was not very good considering the price. 43.48 for one person. And the Crab Rague was not fresh. The cream cheese had a sour taste to it. And some of the food was room temp. Not in the safety zone. Plus they set a time limit for you to eat. And what's up with the 12% service charge. I've worked in the restaurant industry for over 35 years and NEVER seen a service charge and then expected to be tippedas well. Which any charged tip goes to the owner not your server. The waitstaff was 4 star drinks kept full and plates picked up promptly. read more

Service and ambiance is lovely. Used to be a flemings restaurant. Now the food, is plentiful. Great selection, and a little more than average taste. Fresh made sushi and unlimited sashimi is unheard of. Snow crab legs were well prepared and the oysters were doable. I ran out of room to try the hibachi, the dim sum, or the fried foods. But overall this place is repeatable just for the selection and sheer value read more

The service isn't up to standard. If you want Chinese go to Big Heng or Canton Dragon.

Really rude staff with racial undertones. On two different occasions the front staff was rude to my family they went as far as to calling the police with a lie about my daughter. The manager on duty was no help and we requested a full refund, they were told that if my daughter has leave then we all would leave, the owner was called and in the end the owner said we didn't have to leave. I know this was because they didn't want to refund us over $300, not because the staff was wrong. read more

$58.45 on a Saturday night for 2 adults with 2 sodas. I feel it's worth the price once in a while. The restaurant is very large with multiple food choices! It's clean inside, including the men's restroom. Areas for improvement would include delegating the flow of foot traffic. Arrows or lines on the floor would help mitigate that. Also, the food is good but nothing was spectacular. Just a TON of mid. PSA please be courteous. Why do most guests pile their plates and bum rush like they're going to run out of food? read more

As buffets go-4 stars. This one is huge. You pay when arrive for meal and drink. Then you're seated. So many options. I love the Hibachi grill where you select your proteins and veggies. Then they grill it for you with a choice of hibachi, Teriyaki or soy sauces. I did not try the various chicken feet dishes. There are soooo many choices. Very busy place with dozens of workers. Some of dishes were bland like salmon. Beans were stringy. I will try again. read more

Visiting family in AZ and they picked this buffet. They got there first and waited about 30 minutes on Sunday at 5:30. This place is sooooo packed! And it's $19.99 for Sunday dinner!! So cheap but you do kinda question how they are turning out so much food to hundreds of people. I would definitely try again when I'm in AZ but maybe a weekday. Also we were a family of 5 and they put us in the small booth and one extra chair at the end, major violation. The food was decent but the service was less than mediocre most servers don't speak English and the place is so packed that they struggle to clear tables fast enough. Definitely place you must try (on weekdays) read more

For $18.99/adult on Friday/weekend with crab legs and decent sashimi quality, I don't think I can find a better deal. Some reviews talk about the 12% service charge, there is big banner at the cashier table that mentions this; I count this as a tip so I won't complain. The wait was 20 minutes on Friday evening and 40 minutes on Saturday evening. It was super crowded; we could hardly find any space to stand inside while waiting. Crab legs were inconsistently salty. They were abundant on Friday but were very limited on Saturday (each batch comes out every day 20 minutes); maybe it was because there were more customers on Saturday. However, what makes me come back here multiple times are the decent quality sashimi, with fresh and thick salmon cuts, and the best egg custard cakes ever. My tip is to come here early at 5pm to avoid the long wait. read more

We were really excited to try this place because good buffets in the area are hard to come by and I did enjoy all the choices. I did not enjoy the lack of space in walking areas, I was surprised my plate of food came out unscathed each time I got back to my table. The food was subpar, more specifically the sushi. Everything else was eh. We did find hair in the fried rice as well.. I probably won't come back. read more

First time we went there was no flavor, but mother's day the food was awesome. It was busy but still did not take long to get us in.
