    Fried okra, Mac and cheese, fried cat fish, shrimp, and fabulous hush puppies

    This place is not expensive and the catfish is amazing! We drove out here especially to get the cat fish fry and it did not disappoint. Friendly service as well!

    Shrimp was good. Service was very good. They have a rustic ambiance which is appropriate for the area.

    I don't like catfish but I will eat there catfish. Everything is homemade and it's all you can eat for a great price.

    This place is so nostalgic. They've been opened for a long time so they are doing it right. My…read moreparents used to own a farm from 2003-2016 in Russellville and we used to eat here a lot. It's the best buffet in the city and probably one of the best I ever had in the United States. The dishes are so delicious and there is so much variety. We were back in town for my aunt's funeral and had lunch there on our way out. There are so many ways they cooked up the chicken: teriyaki, breaded, stir fried, skewered, etc. They also had frog legs, sushi, a lot of fresh fruits and so much more. The service is impeccable and our server Lorena went above and beyond! She even asked to take a picture for us and had to kneel all the way down to capture everyone. We were a party of 8 and got a special room close to the bathroom. After we got our drink orders in, we went to the buffet and ate until our bellies burst. I had 2 plates plus a wonton soup. I also made a variety sushi and a fried appetizer for us to share in the middle. My favorite dishes were the mushrooms and the fish! Everything was hot, delicious and replenished quickly. If there was a mess, they wiped it clean right away. The place was very clean. The bathrooms were also very clean! The restaurant was very busy by the time we left! It's a popular spot! We will be back anytime we are in Russellville again! Thank you for being one of the best!

    I really want to like this place really bad. But it's not good. There are a lack of Chinese…read morerestaurants around here. I have tried food here multiple times and have finally made the decision that I probably won't go back.

    My wife and I come here for lunch every other weekend because we both love Chinese food. This…read morelocation has great value and a wide selection of what you'd expect to see for a Chinese buffet. The taste of the food is great, I'm a personal fan of the fried rice. The staff are always friendly and attentive. My main and consistent gripe with this place is that the food is always cold. They sit on the warmers at the buffet line and you may be seeing steam but by the time I am sitting down at the table the food is cold. I mentioned this to the owner once and his response to me was "the equipment is working". I was happy to know that but disappointed that seemingly nothing could be done about the temperature of the food. The egg drop soup is always hot, ready, and delicious. It is my main dish every visit.

    I unfortunately have to leave a very negative review for East Gourmet. Every time I have eaten…read morehere, I have ended up getting extremely sick afterward. I initially wondered if it was just a coincidence, but this has happened repeatedly. I have gone to the doctor after becoming sick, and I was told that I had food poisoning. Because this has happened more than once after eating here, I am no longer comfortable eating at this restaurant. I'm sharing this review because I think customers should be aware of my experience. I hope the restaurant takes concerns like this seriously and looks into its food preparation and safety practices. I personally will not be returning.

I had been without Thai food for almost 2 years as I guess its not a thing here in Arkansas. My brother felt bad I was sick and wanted to get me my favorite soup as he was driving by the only Thai place we have seen since we moved here. All I wanted was some Tom Kha!!! They didnt know what that was its on their online menu!! When I called to confirm cuz I didnt think that was possible the lady said she had no coconut milk on premises!!! WTF? I asked how do you make your curry sauce then? She mumbled and I gave up! I definitely dont want to try any curry they have... assuming if its actual curry its just a bag of goop they ordered somewhere if they dont know the actual ingredients! Also any tom yum or tom kha has mushrooms and none to see here!
