    $16.99 for Saturday lunch x 2 people

    So happy to have Chinese buffet back open in Riverdale. We've been waiting a long time since the Mandarin Buffet closed. From the outside, you don't notice any changes besides the signage. But it's definitely noticeable as soon as you open the door. Now there is separate entrance and exit in the vestibule. I love that you pre-pay at the counter (similar to Pizza Ranch) and when you're done dining, you can just walk out. And beverage is included, not extra. We sat ourselves. Walking around looking for seating for 2 people, all the booths around the dining room perimeter were taken. Only tables left. The tables were long and could seat a group of 8+. We just sat at the end of one. Some tables had 2 groups, 1 at each end, but were still far enough apart between them. Observing the buffet, there were lots of options. There was a Mongolian grill with a line of people picking out their frozen proteins/vegetables and a cook working his skill on the grill. Fun to watch! Then 4 tables of hot food with the usual suspects: fried rice, lo mein, shrimp/ chicken/ beef in all the sauces/ on skewers. Deep fried goodies: Cream cheese wontons, egg rolls and sugar donuts. Saw minimal "American" food: bbq ribs and French fries. The biggest table was the cold foods: jello, fruit, pudding, salad. The desert table had the classic almond short bread cookies, something that tasted like dry air paper drizzled in chocolate and an ice cream machine with strawberry or chocolate syrup. Walking out towards the exit door, I noticed a water feature. Maybe a future coy pond because I didn't see any fishes swimming. Now for my opinion. Love the remodel. Great lighting/ambience/decor. Clean (no sticky tables or floors!). Fast, friendly service (drink refills, bussing of tables). Food was HOT and replenished. Sis and I judge Chinese buffets against our favorite: Supreme Hibachi. But based on this encounter, Supreme Star might take the #1 spot. Items eaten between the 2 of us: fried rice, lo mein, garlic green beans, coconut shrimp, Mongolian beef with onions/peppers (pre-made, not the grill), black pepper chicken, sesame chicken, general zao chicken, butter and creamy mushrooms, cream cheese wontons, honey dew, cantaloupe, broccoli salad, sugar donut, almond short bread cookies and ice cream.

    As far as Asian buffets, this one is one of the better ones. They were a lot of choices and everything was replenished quickly. The biggest selling point was their hibachi grills. They had a variety of items and many different sauces to choose from. I love seafood and the fried fish and mussels were tasty. This will definitely be in my rotation given I have a hungry teenage boy. Bonus for having chocolate and twist option for ice cream.

    Adding this spot to our buffet rotation! My fiancé and I had gone to the buffet that was previously here and we were not impressed. We drove by again a few months later and noticed a new spot had opened up so we had to check it out. We walked in and were immediately impressed! We were sat right away and able to grab food as soon as we sat down. My fiancé loved the decor, especially the fountain wall lol everything was very clean and organized. The Hibachi grill was open and we loved that we could build our own meal. The sushi selection was also nice, we would suggest a few more options but there was a decent amount there! The staff did a good job making sure everything was well stocked and there were plenty of options to choose to eat. Overall we had a great experience and we will be back!

    I've been to a lot of buffets, and this one was amazing! For a typical Chinese Buffet, they got the ambiance spot on, the structures inside really felt like I was inside of a temple, which is a shocking contrast from outside the buffet. 9.9/10 The service was amazing as well! The staff were very friendly and unlike most places, weren't intimidating at all! They were pretty quick as well, after finishing my drink they came over to ask if I wanted a refill. 8.9/10 The food was something else. They had the usual Lo Mein, Hibachi Grill, and sushi. However they had something I don't usually find often. Barbecue Ribs. The seasoning and sauce on them were different from any other ribs I had before, it wasn't too sweet and too dry. 10/10 Overall, I really love the place, I will look forward to coming again. Thank you for serving me!

    I am struggling between rating this 3 vs 4 stars. I will say my real rating is 3.5 stars, but I…read morewill give them 4 since Yelp still doesn't allow half stars. Overall verdict: give them a try. I assume we will be back. We love HuHot and have been disappointed that there's no HuHot anywhere in the Twin Cities. I found this place and thought it would be a good alternative. I was correct! While I wouldn't say it's better than HuHot, they do some things better. Such as gloves when you are picking your items from the buffet, and free chips and salsa (the salsa is awesome). However, I was nervous to come here due to some of the other reviews, and while I don't agree with all of the negative ones, some of them are correct. The free white rice is incredibly mushy and soggy. I didn't really like it. The pasta itself did end up a bit soggy compared to HuHot, but I still enjoyed it. I do wish they had a few more sauce options and recipes. The flavor was pretty good, but I do sort of agree with some other reviews that I wish there was more flavor. I would encourage you to use more sauce than you think. I also agree that the atmosphere feels slightly dirty/old. The whole place could use a very deep cleaning or remodel. I'm also very upset that they are passing the credit card fee on to customers. That actually gives me pause about potentially not going back more than anything else. However, I did enjoy my meal. So I would guess that we will be back. But due to the credit card processing fee, lack of sauces, and a feeling of uncleanliness, we won't be rushing back anytime soon.

    Thinking about it, I haven't been here for about 20 years. The last time I was here was when I was…read morein college. It was a nostalgic experience. This place is pretty straight forward. You either choose one bowl ($25) or the unlimited option ($29). Your table will be automatically served wontons crisps and salsa. There are extra menu items you can order beyond the bowl - such as appetizers. You fill the bowl up with as much ingredients you can fit into that sucker and then bring it over to the chefs and they will cook it for you. As I began to fill my bowl, all the memories and techniques I learned came flooding back. Add your protein first. I choose beef and positioned the meat around the outside of my bowl so I could fit more items in it - give that a try. Add in whatever other proteins, veggies, and sauces you'd like and top off with the noodles. I added the dragon sauce to my dish and it was tasty, but I'm warning all my MN locals - beware the dragon sauce. I can handle a little heat, but the two scoops of that sauce had me sweating. I'd definitely go back, but I'd check to find if they have lunch offered at a lesser cost. In a big group, it will get spendy.

    Have been to Super Moon Buffet several times over the years. The latest visit was last weekend, on…read moreMother's Day and I think it was the busiest I have seen it. We had a later lunch and by the time we left, there was still a long line to get in. It has a nice variety of dishes to select from. One of our favorite parts of the buffet is the hibachi area - my husband, our older son and I all had our own selection of ingredients stir fried for noodle dishes. There are many tables available for seating and the servers are nice but super busy.

    Tried Super Moon Buffet this evening and I'm still trying to figure out what exactly the $150 was…read morefor... because it definitely wasn't the food or the experience. Let's start with the obvious: it's a buffet. We're getting our own plates, our own refills, doing the whole "DIY dining" thing. Fine. But for that price, you'd expect at least decent food. Instead, it was bland, forgettable, and sitting somewhere between lukewarm and questionable. Now the part that really sealed it: as we were literally getting up to leave, an employee approached us and demanded a tip. Not suggested. Not politely mentioned. Demanded. Then another staff member came over, pointed at the receipt, and told me I needed to tip. I'm actually a generous tipper, happily so, when it's earned. But being confronted like that? That's not service, that's pressure with a side of audacity. I even tried to clarify, thinking maybe gratuity wasn't included and I misunderstood. I was told, "No, service is completely separate." Okay... then maybe make that crystal clear somewhere? A sign, a note, literally anything. I would have gladly run to my car to grab cash and come back if it had been handled respectfully. But after being cornered and told I had to tip? Absolutely not. If your business model relies on tipping, act like it. Don't ambush customers on their way out like they're skipping out on a bill. Between the overpriced, underwhelming food and the aggressive tipping situation, this was easily one of the worst dining experiences I've had in a while.

    I reviewed Shuang Cheng previously, and the last time was a bit more than a year ago. In…read morere-reading my reviews, I stand by everything I've said about the excellent consistent quality of the food, the service, and how much I enjoy coming to this restaurant. I truly hope they are around longer than I am. I would hate to find out this was one of the choices no longer available to us. Please read my previous reviews for a more inclusive view; this review focuses only on their lobster. I had previously mentioned that they prices of their lobsters (I love the version with black bean sauce) have gone up tremendously. While true, there seems to have been a subtle change in their pricing strategy. Previously (as of before the pandemic), the lobster was priced by the pound, which is the conventional way of doing it. However, they seem to have two lobster prices. The first one is called "Big Lobster" and they say it's between 2 and 2 and half pounds per lobster. The price of that (as of this review) is $56 dollars, or $28 per pound. That's not really a bad price at all. It's expensive, but reasonable. The other lobster is called "Live Lobster" and is priced $10 less at $46. So the real question is how much does this second version weigh? I ordered the Big Lobster, but they said they were out of it. I asked the weight of the "Live Lobster" but I didn't really get a straight answer, but he seemed to say "about two pounds" which doesn't really make sense because that's the price of the larger, more expensive lobster. But I decided to go for it anyway. As I stated in my last review, I'm guessing this lobster is at least two pounds, based on many years of eating lobster. For this review, I had ChatGPT translate the the Chinese on the menu, thinking it was secret code for "if you can read Chinese, save ten dollars by ordering this version" but AI says the Chinese means "lobster" so if you spoke Chinese, you'd still be mystified. So my recommendation is order the version that is ten dollars cheaper and you may (or may not) be paying $23 a pound. Price aside, I love this version of lobster and it is certainly a better deal than what you would pay at an American style seafood or steak restaurant in the Twin Cities.

    We have not been to Shuang Cheng in a while - it was one of our favorite places for seafood when we…read morewere younger/recent college grads. It was nice visiting and enjoying some of our previously go-to dishes. The soft shell crab made with golden garlic style was as delicious as I remembered, although at a much higher price now ($44+) for the dish. The seafood soup was a nice start to our meal, would have been even better if they had red vinegar. The mapo tofu and eggplant dishes that we ordered ended up being very similar in taste/sauce/seasoning but still pretty good. The service was pretty fast and the staff was friendly.
