    The buffet
    Stacey B.

    As with most Chinese restaurants, this one has a large buffet, sushi bar and hibachi grill. It is clean when you first enter and there is a large amount of tables, so chances are you won't have to wait. I hadn't eaten here in probably a year. My husband and son eat hear often and like it. It was Saturday night and there was quite a crowd, so the buffet was kept fresh. I like to start with egg drop soup, but I didn't like their recipe. It had some vegetables, which is fine, but they had corn in theirs, and it was not good. The fried rice did not have peas and carrots, which I did like. They had all the regular Chinese staples. But on Friday and Saturday, they have crab legs. I don't like shell fish of any kind, but the crab legs are a popular dish here (hence the large crowd), so they must be good here. The sushi bar is very limited, but it is something I do not eat, so I can't review the quality of this place. The hibachi is also really small, but it seemed to be very popular. We don't have a lot to choose from in our area when it comes to Chinese food. But Peking Dragon is suitable for this American girl when I have a taste for this cuisine.

    Lunch & dinner has a descent spread of food & drink is included in price. Always hot and fresh. If one looks low, just ask and they will make a new tray and make you aware when it comes out.

    My salad bar fixins... note the peeled cucumbers and chopped broccoli.... what, what?!?

    Paintsville and I go way back and I've tried just about every fast food joint and restaurant from Salyersville to Prestonsburg. I must say that this is the best choice for the best food around. It used to be called Mandrin House, but it seems about the same to me. Great service, great food, and great locals in the midst. I noticed that they had a posting for a discount on carryout. That offer isn't to be mistaken with your average Asian food carry out though. This is a top notch buffet, so if you're already there, the underpriced buffet is what I recommend. I started with the cold salad options... first of all, I've never experienced a buffet that chops the broccoli... I for one, don't like huge chunks of broccoli, so I usually skip it. Not here. I appreciate that minor to most detail. The cucumbers were peeled... these people need to give tips to buffets in Lexington because I never see that there either. The hot options are beyond amazing. With at least five large rows of options, there is no way that you would walk away hungry. Don't pass up those sauteed mushrooms... my favorite on the entire bar and the best I've ever had. You're lucky, Paintsville.

    Awesome food

    Meh. It's good if you're hungry, lol. Not nearly as good as when Sophie had it and it was known as "Mandarin House".

    Billy Ray's Restaurant in Prestonsburg is the kind of place that instantly reminds you why local,…read morefamily-owned restaurants still matter. From the moment you walk through the doors on North Front Street, you're greeted with genuine Appalachian hospitality--warm, unpretentious, and welcoming in the best possible way. The food is classic comfort done right. Portions are generous, flavors are bold, and everything tastes like it was made with care rather than rushed out of a kitchen. The home-style cooking is the real star here--savory meats, perfectly cooked sides, and that unmistakable "down-home" flavor that keeps locals coming back and first-timers planning their return before they've even paid the bill. Nothing feels overworked or trendy--just honest, satisfying food that hits the spot every time. The wait staff and service at Billy Ray's is consistently friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The staff treats you like a regular, even if it's your first visit, and that personal touch elevates the entire dining experience. You never feel rushed, and questions about the menu are met with enthusiasm and helpful recommendations. The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable, making it ideal for families, friends, or a casual lunch stop while passing through town. It's clean, well-kept, and full of local character--exactly what you want in a small-town restaurant. If you're in Prestonsburg and want a meal that's filling, flavorful, and genuinely satisfying, Billy Ray's Restaurant is a must-visit. This is Eastern Kentucky dining at its finest--simple, hearty, and done with heart . Just a shame we couldn't fit in any of the delicious cakes! Next time! Thanks for a wonderful Diner experience.
