I'm not going to lie I think this place is also not what its yelped up to be. Don't get me wrong I'll probably go here again, its super close to my house and my husband found a lot to eat here. Theres a lot of things here that kids (and my husband) would like, i.e. pizza, mashed potatoes, french fries, chicken nuggets, and chicken wings. I did really like that you can sit down quick and get right to eating lol. What I found (not terrible!) was most things were mushy and kind of bland, like the chow mien and orange chicken. I also thought their egg rolls were so gross, BUT their pot stickers are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good and they have that amazing sauce that goes with them! MMMHHMMM I will 100% go back for those alone lol. AND their sushi was actually really good! Nice small bite sizes unlike the ones you get at sit down sushi places. $25 for the two of us with drinks. read more

Yelpers, I feel like I've been led astray! I went here expecting decent buffet food based on the reviews but everything was actually pretty gross. The miso soup was really salty, the mac & cheese had no flavor, the ice cream station was a messy disaster, and the sushi portion of the buffet had only 4 tongs for 8-10 plates of food (meaning you're using the same tongs for sushi as you are for edamame--felt unsanitary for me). Most of the food was overcooked and under-flavored. In all honesty, I thought I would probably get food poisoning from at least one thing here and was surprised that I didn't. I am by no means a princess and can enjoy a good dive with questionable sanitation standards...this means that if my cleanliness/food safety radar is going off, there is a problem. 2 stars because the waitress was sweet and attentive. Also, since the food was so bad, I wasn't tempted to overeat. Take your money elsewhere if you enjoy quality food. If you want to stuff your face and don't care about taste, this works. read more

I haven't been in Phoenix that long and was trying to find a decent Chinese buffet when a co-worker recommend red wok. Seeing as it was really close to where I lived I decide to give it a try. And I must say, it was pretty good. The food was what you would expect from a cheap buffet. Maybe a little bit above average. Although the American dishes like Mac n cheese, mash potatoes etc was sun par everything else was decent. The staff was very attentive, making sure my plates were cleared, my drinks were replenished and they'd would check up on you to make sure you were comfortable. I have to say some "high end"restaurants do not even bother to do the little things. Overall I would comeback and if the staff stays the course, this could be a regular establishment in which I would frequent. read more

Sushi selection incredibly lame! The price was also way higher than expected for quality of food. read more

I do not like greasy oriental buffets - Red Wok is a delightfully non-greasy buffet. I have visited them between 11 and 3pm, 4 times in the last 8 weeks. It is my new favourite oriental buffet! Service is courteous and prompt. Salad, sushi and hot entrees selections are varied and generally of better quality than other Oriental buffets I have been to. Their creamy fruit salad, sesame green beans and radish salad are all exceptional. It's sushi table is always fresh and nicely put together for the price point. My 10 year old loves their sesame honey chicken I prefer their baked salmon and shrimp w / vegetables. They've had passable Miso, hot & sour and egg drop soup. The standard children's menu offerings; pizza, French fries, mac-n-cheese & mild buffalo wings are mediocre, but then they are designed to appeal to blandness loving children's palates. read more

First time visit and I was not disappointed. The food was hot and fresh. The restaurant was a good size and clean. The variety of food was heavenly. The menu included sushi rolls, Mongolian grill, soups and all the other chines plates you can think of. You can please all your family here. There is even cheese crisp, chicken wings and pizza for the kids. Unfortunately I never made it to the desert area but I heard no complaints from the people in my group who did. I am not fan of buffets but I will come back because my mom is. read more

Being Asian and the thought of an Asian buffet sounded gross. Not many have I tried came close to this restaurant. From being greeted at the door, to a huge buffet of all seemingly fresh food to the awesome service... Definitely a good place to go and eat! My only suggestion would be to not go on Sunday nights... The food was definitely not as fresh or hot... Some dried out or over cooked due to perhaps sitting too long. Ew. read more

Red Wok has a very decent buffet with many choices of the typical Chinese dishes, a surprisingly big selection of fresh and yummy sushi and a Mongolian grill section. For $10 per person it has great value and my husband and I go there for dinner every once in a while. There are coupons for $5 off the entire bill (with purchases of $25 or more) which makes it even more affordable. Thumbs up for this buffet! read more

I thought this place was good! It reminds me of Chinese food back East. They even had boneless spare ribs, which is rare here. I thought the crab legs and shrimp were on point too! My dining partner didn't like it at all. She is a vegetarian though so I guess she didn't have the options she wanted. I'm still very much on the meat train though, and I was content! read more

I love coming here. Their buffet has many options! I love that they even have a mini sushi buffet. It's made fresh and there's a few different options. Super delicious! Love their jalapeño grilled chicken and their crab cabbage and cream cheese casserole! read more

Good selection and good service the place could use a makeover for sure but the food is consistently being brought out and is always fresh. Haven't gotten sick or had any bad experience. It's not too overwhelming and it's something for everyone. My favorite dishes are the coconut shrimp and the baked crab!!!! Took my family they loved it, also very kid friendly read more

Decent enough food. Clean and modern restaurant. Average staff. Great price. A WIN for families! I've only eaten here twice, once for lunch and once for dinner. Both times I had the same experience of a large selection of tasty choices for food. They had clean and tidy entryway, floors, booths, tables, food area, and restrooms, The staff were quite good, especially considering it was a buffet. We were more than happy to leave a well-deserved tip. And I didn't have to feed the kids ramen for 3 days to offset some expensive meal at a restaurant that wasn't kid-friendly. read more

Wow. Stunning. Fantastic food, with generous offerings of sushi, seafood, ice cream, you name it! We had a blast. Amazingly affordable as well. We wish we had one of these back home. read more

This is your ideal lunch buffet place. Their selection is quire large. There's something for everyone there, whether you're into sushi, Chinese, vegetarian, or good old comfort food. The variety is my favorite part, and it's not very expensive, either. I see lots of families going there, which seems like a great idea, because of all the fun dishes you get to try. The staff is friendly, and the line in front always moves quickly. It doesn't look dirty and dingy like some buffets, and they are pretty attentive with cleaning up the tables. Only reason I wouldn't give it five stars is because the food quality could be better, but that's to be expected from an all-you-can-eat buffet. read more

Its kid friendly & the cashiers and waitress are always supper nice. the food is great !!

Perhaps the worst Chinese food I have ever eaten. The food was very greasy and unappetizing. The fried rice is an unusually bright orange. The lo mein noodles were not hot. The orange chicken tasted like it had buffalo wing sauce in it. The teriyaki chicken had an anise flavored after taste. The sushi did not taste fresh. There were more non-Chinese food than Chinese food options- pizza, Mexican food, etc. The place was not at all clean. People have commented on the ice cream. There is no way that is sanitary- everyone reaches into an ice cream freezer with their arms to serve themselves. Gross. This place is awful. read more

I'd give it 4 stars for the sushi but a 3 for the rest of the food. The buffet choices are just OK. Nothing was particularly great. I have always loved coconut shrimp everywhere Ive eaten it but this place...yuk. The worst Ive tasted. The ice cream bar is pretty cool. Desserts are also store bought cake, not impressive. If you are hungry, this is the place to go but if you are just looking for some really good food, Id try a different buffet. Nothing to rave about. read more

I have been to this location numerous times and i have not had a bad experience. The food is very good and there is a good selection of vegetables making it easy to select healthy option. I would definitely recommend it. read more

How is this place still in business? I've seen kids sneezing into the food, the buckets of water they clean the table with smell like mildew, there was mold in the ice cream which I didn't think was even possible, and there's a distinct odor coming from all the crevices where mildew water was used to clean. I have been drug against my will here by a couple friends to try their sushi which is made in an area separate from the congealed buffet food but both people that ate it were feeling ill and said they noticed the sushi wasn't quite cold enough. Honestly eat at your own risk, I would only eat here the day they're expecting the food inspector; I'm not sure how they haven't had massive violations. read more

The food was pretty disappointing. My bf & I were craving some buffet food & decided to come here which wasn't the best idea. He was really looking forward to some crab legs & more but the crab legs were fried. I'm from MD so I felt the fried crab legs was disrespectful. I liked the green beans which were oily so I didn't need to reapply lipgloss. No sarcasm in that last statement. Other than that, the food lacked good taste. I think my favorite part of the meal was my soda. read more

I used to like this place and would come almost weekly. They've now raised their lunch prices to almost $14 for lunch and a drink which is outrageous money for lunch at a divey little Chinese buffet. Like most Chinese buffets, I can only imagine dinner is even more expensive. Ridiculous. read more

Red Wok Buffet is by Far the Best All You Can Eat Buffet I have Ever been to - besides the Family Style Friendly atmosphere of non stop customer service by the entire staff the Food Specifically is an all encompassing menu of almost every exquisite arena of food cooked prepared and maintained to the most delicious perfection . I read someone else's comment that the food at Red Wok wasn't tasty ? THAT is a Straight out Lie and furthermore if that was the case they would have gone to any other Buffet . None Better , Absolutely none Better than Red Wok . read more

It was packed which was a good sign, waiters and front counter lady were very busy of course which is good. When I was getting food, one of their workers pushed into to me, I said oh sorry although he gave me a rude look and didn't even bother to apologize. There were tables that were really dirty (floor) but other than that, the food was good! It's practically 14$, I went in on Saturday but the receipt said Sunday but I guess. read more

For the most part this is typical Asian food...as in nothing really stands out it does have good flavor for the most part...a little high, price wise for lunch over 22.00$ for 2 before tax and drinks, especially if you are on a budget....I personally 1 time found some small type of flying insect dead in one of my choices, the lady at the desk did apologize and refund my $ for the food but that basically ruined my appetite and the rest of my party's too. So we left hungry...Although because it is close we have been back but we are super careful what we eat. read more

So so. Lots of variety. Dumplings were good but many were very hard and crunchy. One of the four sushi rolls I ate tasted rotten, but the others were ok. Very busy so it's obviously popular with the locals. It was slightly above average. I have no plans to return unless I'm very very hungry. read more

Super good!! Super fresh and great atmosphere!!! Food was rotating and there were never an empty pan of anything.

First thing i noticed was a heavy fish odor when entering the establishment. Terrible meal. Would have been better had I gone to the frozen section at the super market. $15 per person is completely unreasonable for the buffet and a drink. And if you desire ice cream... good luck, little 3oz containers... sherbet only! Spend your time and money elsewhere. read more

I frequent this buffet. The food is always tasty and hot. Good assortment of dishes to choose from. They offer a dessert bar, veggie/fruit bar, ice cream, sushi, Mongolian grill, some American and other traditional dishes. Service is attentive and the place is always busy. read more

I've been here a couple times and have always had great service and never got sick from eating here. It's really not a bad place and always lots of good food to choose from. read more

Was there Saturday early evening. The selection was mediocre and pretty much everything I tried was flavorless. I will not be back.

We've been a few times and have had both good and bad experiences. I guess it just depends on who's cooking and whether they're having a good day or not. There are always a few things that look really questionable like the whole fish dishes and the crab. Then there are a few things that we won't get again like the bokchoy dish, the cream cheese ragoons and the egg rolls. But a few of the tasty items are the coconut shrimp, the really thin chow mein (not the thick noodle one) the orange chicken, Chinese bbq pork, the mushrooms and the sugared donuts. The desserts are "eh..." but if you need to end with a sweet the little cakes are decent, along with the donuts. So overall, lower your standards, like really low, and you'll be ok. It's hard to find good Chinese in AZ, especially Chinese buffets but this one is decent enough. I'm sure we'll go when we need a Chinese buffet fix. read more

This place is as great as any smaller or larger Asian or American cuisine awesome service great atmosphere and incredible food all u can eat! read more

It will be awhile if we come back again!! read more

I have eaten here a few times. As far as Chinese buffets go, it is one of the better ones. The place is clean, the staff is polite and helpful, and the food is relatively fresh and well-prepared. The meat is mostly chicken, cooked a dozen different ways, but for the price you pay, you really can't complain. read more

Looking for a buffet style Chinese place and this came up. It was around $8 per person for lunch. The hot tea was $1 and soda $1.50. They had a pretty broad selection. I felt some of the food was over cooked and sitting for awhile maybe cause it was a bit soggy, like the lo mein, orange chicken and fried rice. I liked the green beans, pot stickers, Korean style noodles and kung pow chicken. They have a salad bar, sushi, lots of fruit, ice cream, desserts, short ribs, shrimp, fish, soups and much more. Price was decent for the amount of food. I'm sure you are bound to find something you like with the selection. Not the best quality, but kind of expect it from an all you can eat buffet. I don't go to buffets much, but I would go back. I haven't been to any other buffets in the area so don't have much else to compare it to. read more

Best Chinese Buffet I've had in Phoenix. Honestly !!! I've spent hella money at other buffet for trash ass food. And it's like 11$ per person read more

Not bad. Not horrible. There seems to be a lot more variety upon first glance than when you are walking around with a nearly empty plate, wondering what to put on it next. As with many buffets nowadays, there is WAY TOO MUCH seafood. Even if you enjoy it, the smell overwhelms other foods and the variety of chicken, pork, and beef dishes suffers so they can have all those trays full of pasty fish, greasy skrimps, and crawdads, otherwise known as creekroaches. Much of the serving trays are full of fruits and salad items, too. What I did find to eat, basically orange chicken(mostly breading), and bbq ribs(mostly bone), was pretty tasty, although there ate many places in the valley to get this generic buffet fare, and either get your drink included for an $8 lunch, or pay a couple dollars less for it. If you're in the area for work or something, and don't have time to get over the few short miles to COFCO center for real Chinese , then this'll do. read more

Yep. It's a standard Asian Buffet. Meets expectations if your purpose is to eat. Clean. Attentive staff. Eclectic functional decor.

I love Chinese food buffets. I have been Pokemon-ing them around Phoenix for years. Needless to say there are some bad ones. This is a good one. They had soooo many types of chicken. Okay, so I was pregnant and craving chicken. That doesn't make my review any less valid. I had three plates. I would have kept going but my husband looked bored. Nothing seemed stale and there were many options. It seemed clean for a Chinese Buffet. read more

So usually I go to a Chinese buffet and have mostly average items with a few wows and a few blahs. Here is a different story. You enter and a very energetic and polite hostess greets you and asks you what you would like to drink. You then pay ($10 and change for dinner) and then are seated. The first plate I had had a mix of American, Mexican, and Chinese foods. There was some quesadila thing that had some beans and cheese and a little bit of meat inside. It was just meh whatever, but the buffalo wing that I tried was really good... it wasn't really over the top spicy, but had some spice and was kinda sweet... so I guess it would be a mild wing. Also a unique thing here is they have Louisiana style catfish. I've never been to Louisiana, but the catfish was AMAZING! Another one of their several awesome dishes were the coconut shrimp... it was nice and flavorful and not dry. The teriyaki chicken actually had teriyaki flavor unlike most the buffets that just have a chicken slice in some weird soupy sauce. They gyoza and cream cheese puffs were both done right.... the gyoza with a ever so slight crisp and the cream cheese puff with a light flaky coating not the break your tooth style most buffets feature. They have a Mongolian grill which I did not try this visit, along with soups, a salad and fruit bar, and a small dessert bar I did not try either. I did try their sushi and must say it was very well done for a buffet. Only two of the rolls had cream cheese, and they had shrimp nigiri and I believe red snapper sashimi. I think this place has many visits from me in its future. read more
