Honey chicken, General Tso Chicken, Pepper Beef, Sautee cabbage, and pork chop.
John L.

Like most Chinese Buffets, there are good dishes, and there are some mediocre dishes served here. The BBQ ribs and the crabs are good. The broccoli chicken and the General Tso's chicken were not as flavorful. Staff was attentive to our needs. They will bring you a crab cracker if needed. So if you don't have time to drive into Philly Chinatown and having to sit down and wait, also happens to be in the area, this place may be suitable if you're in a hurry.

Warm section

We went here because some recommended it, and we weren't disappointed. The food was bountiful, it felt like an endless supply of crawfish and other seafood options that many of the patrons were enjoying. I wanted to try the sushi, but I ran out of room... but I did try the seafood boil which I thought was well seasoned, the crab which was very hard to break and not worth my time. The clam mix was tasty, so was the salt and pepper shrimp, I wish they did this to squid. The dessert table was small, and offered very little selection.. some fresh fruit, some pastry's, nothin I would be in a rush to go back to eat... the the warm selection. Was quite enjoyable

I've been to Ruby Buffet for quite a long time for my family gatherings every time they come to visit me and I am very please with the great food and atmosphere that Ruby brings. Food is always fresh and buffets are always fill with lots of quality foods ranging from fried foods, seafoods, salads, usual Chinese noodles and fried rice to ice creams! Highly recommended this buffet as it is affordable for families as well as quick hangouts spot with friends to catch up on quality food at reasonable price!

the food was really good. Ruby Buffet meets the standards when looking for a buffet near Philly. The food is nice and there is a fine variety and the service was fine as well. There are definitely better buffets elsewhere, but it was nice eating some Chinese cuisine. Overall, this was an okay place to dine for an Asian buffet. go here now.

Crab legs, mussels, egg roll, crawfish, pork roll
Michelle M.

It was your typical Buffett. The only reason I came is because my daughter wanted to go and it was quick service and a big enough selection for her pickiness. I arrived a little after 3pm and was told it was dinner time. I paid 49 for 3 people (2 adults 1 child). Pros: it wasn't packed. We were seated fast. If you have a picky eater there's options. The mussels and egg rolls were really good. Cons: some of the food was bland. Like the crab legs initially were bland but when you got to the bottom of the same crab leg (odd) there was more seasoning. The pineapples didn't taste good at all and I love pineapples. It ranged from tasting sour to bland non taste sweet. I was expecting more like hibachi maybe being a choice. As soon as I was at my last piece of food on my first plate someone came up to take it away. It was as if they were watching like a hawk and rushing for your table.

What is price? Lunch?

I believe last time I was there in Feb, was 13 to 14, whereas any price for the selection is Wunderbar. Unfortunately since their roof fire a month ago, not sure they open again

Is this still a buffet or no?

Yes

How much does it cost for a lunch buffet per person on a Friday at noon?

13 to 14, if open after June roof fire.

We arrived right at opening and were the first ones there on Saturday morning. We were then greeted…read moreby our server who adequately taught us how everything works. Pretty simple, there are different tiers and each tier offers something different. Of course, we went for the top diamond tier which includes all-you-can-eat Japanese and Australian wagyu, unlimited appetizers and pretty much everything on the menu was unlimited at that tier. Starting off with all 4 of the appetizers offered, the bone marrow was quite amazing. Rich, buttery and tasted great, fresh off the grill. The wagyu nigiri was a favourite of ours. The rice was nicely seasoned and we couldn't get enough. The wagyu tartare was nice, and we wished we were served the toasted bread from the bone marrow rather than the chips. Unfortunately, the sweet shrimp wasn't too fresh. The heads showed signs of blackening, and it tasted close to the end of its shelf life. The thinly sliced wagyu was exquisite. We tried not only the Japanese wagyu, but the Australian wagyu as well, and we kept ordering tray after tray of it. The seafood bowl that came with our tier was a nice touch. I can't say I was a huge fan of the king crab that was offered. These were the end and knuckle pieces that didn't have much meat in them. These could have been skipped as amazing as king crab sounds. As for the vegetables and sides, they were fresh and really added to our hot pot experience. Overall, coming in at $90/per person, I feel this is a steal. An amazing price point to eat unlimited rich, buttery, marbled beef. We also found our server to be very attentive which was greatly appreciated. We did not wait long in between ordering more items and when they arrived which is a huge plus.

Be sure to book reservations as spots fill out quick! Got the gold tier for the whole family and the A5 meat was soooo tender and soft. The broth and side sauces could've had more variation as I felt like it could've used more flavor. Not sure if that was a tactic on their part to have guests taste the authentic wagyu quality more but definitely would've appreciated more dipping flavors. The seafood platter was amazing!! Bummer it was only one tray. Also the limited 1 piece per guest - wagyu nigiri - was chefs kiss! Bone marrow was yummy but you'd have to love the fatty taste to be okay with it. Great ice cream selection and drinks (milk tea + coconut milk were the favs). The best part is since I was part of the chubby club, my membership discounted pricing ~$13 per person applied, plus got extra points for more rewards which was amazing. I know it's pricey but it's a must visit at least once! One of the few hot pot experiences I've enjoyed.

As if tips were mandatory. For two people almost 100. Dollars a total scam. I would never go back to a place like this where everyone puts their hands in the food and on top of that they charge you as if it were an à la carte restaurant. I only ate several things because not everything is food that you know to pay such an exaggerated price. On top of that, the workers see you all the time, it even bothers them if you serve yourself a large amount as if you were not going to pay it and they are almost on top of you so that you go ahead as soon as they see you choosing the dessert and on your table is the bill.

Came here with high hopes but that was quickly dashed…read more Let's do the positive reviews. Variety is good and I like the ramen station. Servers were all nice but they change real quick if you dont tip at the end of the meal. ( we will get back to this.) Now for the bad. The food is regular Chinese buffet food. Not bad not great . With that said charging $50 per person for the dinner on a weekend is insane. (If I'm paying that I want a Fogo de Chao. ) Not only is it that per person than they charge a % for a tip that goes to the servers and cooks. There are signs posted at every table so you cant miss it. Now if you dont tip extra the server will tell you you read the sign wrong. We gave her an extra $20 just so we could leave in peace. Not worth the price . Would not be back.

The restaurant was busy due to the holiday, but the staff managed everything well and kept the buffet running smoothly. The buffet offered a wide variety of options, especially for seafood lovers. We really enjoyed the crab legs, which were refilled frequently and tasted fresh. The shrimp dishes--including fried shrimp and garlic shrimp--were flavorful and well cooked. There was also a good selection of fish, mussels, clams, and seafood stir-fry, which made the seafood section the highlight of the meal. In addition to seafood, Ichiban had plenty of Asian and American-style dishes. The hibachi grill was popular, allowing you to choose fresh ingredients like chicken, beef, shrimp, and vegetables cooked right in front of you. Sushi lovers will appreciate the sushi and sashimi selection, which included rolls, nigiri, and fresh fish options. The Chinese classics such as General Tso's chicken, lo mein, fried rice, and dumplings were tasty and comforting. Dessert options included cakes, cookies, fruit, and ice cream, which were perfect for ending the meal. Overall, the food quality, variety, and festive atmosphere made our New Year's Day visit enjoyable. Ichiban Seafood Buffet is a solid choice if you're looking for variety, generous portions, and a satisfying buffet experience. We would definitely visit again, especially for special occasions.
