I was very excited when I first found this buffet in Winston Salem. There's a buffet with the exact same name and very similar front in Charlotte that is really good. With my hopes high, I decided to try this one for the first time. Good parts: good service, clean buffet and dining area; not so bad hibachi Not so good parts: not enough food choices compared to Tin Tin in charlotte. Less authentic in general read more

We came to visit we wanted some Chinese buffet this place looked really good so we went the waitresses were rude the food no lie tasted like soap if I could I'd give them a negative star I do not recommend read more

The food is good, but it was cold, and the times need to be corrected on the site. At least for the weekend, I went on Saturday at 9:30 pm. They had already stopped serving food and started to close at 10 pm, which was around the time people began glancing at me while I ate and hovering over my table, checking to see if I was done. I was rushing to get some value for my $20+ meal. As soon as I was done, everyone started to clean up as if I was the only one holding them up. The time said 10:30 pm was closing time, and I then proceeded to try to get ice cream before leaving, and I walked to the register to pay for it. I proceeded to get yelled at twice by management and told them over and over I was paying for the ice cream since I felt rushed to leave. read more

Service was fantastic and food was good. Waitresses were very attentive and nice. My friend said the sushi was really good!

Food is delicious and lots of variety's....the place is neat and people working there are good..

I have eaten here many times and it's always only okay. The food just isn't that good especially when it costs the amount that it does. I've always had only okay service basically the entire place is mediocre. Now the reason i am giving it 1 star today because well the food was absolutely awful this time around. I couldn't even finish my meal and also there was an especially disrespectful and rude hostess there who just did not want anything to do with anything. When I went the mask mandate had lifted so i didn't go in with one, I walked up and she already had an atitude off the bat. No greeting or anything just "how many?" I told her and she said nothing back. Then looks at me and says "you need to put a mask on right now" I told her okay that's fine and grab a mask. I get seated whatever should be the end but until when i was getting my food my mask slid a bit down and she purposefully ran over to me and got very close and said "pull up your mask now" I am pretty upset by this point. She just hadn't been nice since the beginning and i was just over it. As I am walking out she lets 2 giant party's in with NO MASK! I will not be returning there after that experience. Dear management train your staff how to appropriately address customers. I work in customer service as well and i wouldn't dream of treat someone like this. read more

I went to this establishment today with some of my friends and we had what could of been the worst service I've ever had. Our waitress wouldn't leave our table while we were talking. She was way too impatient with us paying. Very disappointed. read more

Service was good. Waitress constantly filling glasses & taking away used plates. 7 seated at 6:40 immediately. Table a little cramped but ok. Buffet had lots of options, sushi too. Most everything was good, not great but good. Hibachi bar as well. Cook went on break for 10 min so I didn't get to try when I went up. Sampled 5 different desserts & all were very dry & not tasty. Big Chinese restaurant just off I40 @ Wendover was much better when there a few months ago. But could not find another buffet in Winston w decent selection. Would go again but if time allows worth the drive to Greensboro for quality in food. read more

I like it here ^^ I do agree with some of the other reviews that the food is not kept as hot as I would like but the food is still decent. At the hibachi area you can choose between the hibachi sauce and the teriyaki sauce. Don't forget to tell the cook if you would like it spicy or garlic added to it. read more

Worth it!! Trying to find a decent buffet restaurant thats your place sushi part really good too wish it had side eel sauce but still really good!!! read more

Great bullet and price as long as you don't get the crab legs. Best selection of sushi for a Chinese bullet and lots of seafood! Also has make your own hibachi grill. Definitely recommend this place if your in town and want a great variety as well as an awesome price. Decor wise, also very new and clean. Service is what I expect at a bullet. read more

Tin Tin Buffet - Large variety of sushi! - Chinese Near Me - Winston-Salem, North Carolina

Not bad but not great. Reading some reviews and was ready to have my socks knocked off or but left with with both a hole in my stomach i couldn't fill and one in my wallet. Presentation wasnt great. I know, I know Chinese buffet not Chinese restaurant but it just felt unkempt, poorly arranged, and not one smile on anyone working. If I'm going to pay $7 for my 2 year old to eat half a plate I want at least a smile. Guests found hair in a couple dishes but the dish supervisor didnt seem to cared or make any effort to remove it, so just kinda avoided the shrimp and crab. Habachi wasnt manned when I would go up and after wait for 5 or so minutes I just kinda found something else. Sushi was good. Wasnt well stocked and again looked meh but would have eaten more if it was available. read more

Hardly any food had been out along time chewy ask employee about item if it was hot spice he said no it was so hot burned my mouth so I went and told him he was an asshole he laughed thought it was funny would not recemend this place at all trued to give me another persons ck for even more money. Too Not a good to2me or place. So sad read more

I should probably write a review of this place since it seems to be my guilty pleasure. Sometimes I'm just really craving sushi and also in a hurry. Not to mention a simple place to find vegetables. And this fits the bill for me. Really, this place is basically your standard Asian buffet. It does have the hibachi section, which I always appreciate. What is a better to get exactly what you want then tip simply pick it all out on a plate and then have someone cook it for you? Especially good for someone like me who enjoys putting a lot of vegetables on a Hibachi plate and less rice. There are also some other good vegetables on the normal Buffet. But really, I actually don't use the normal Buffet as much as most people do. More of it is of varying quality. They do have plenty of your typical favorites though so it is what it is. Chicken on a stick is such a simple, awesome way to eat it after all, right? The sushi is what you would expect. It's about the same as grocery store sushi. It's nothing incredibly fancy but there is a lot of variety in the rolls. And in the evening they usually have things like just pieces of fish. Obviously not sashimi-grade. BIG WARNING, they have a more expensive Buffet section that is just crab legs. If you get crab legs, it's going to be a lot more. That would be one of my more annoying pet peeves is that it isn't as well marked that this is the case. Most people will see it because the entry way shows the prices and there is a price notification by it. However it is kind of above it so some people may just ignore all that. It almost needs flashing exclamation marks or something. You don't want to be paying that on accident because you didn't notice. But yeah, simple Asian buffet with all the typical amenities. The place is even complete with that one owner who is always there and looks gloomily at everyone as if she's unhappy you're eating there, with really sweet waitstaff to contrast her. But she was nice enough when I talk to her so, it must just be playing the part. Haha read more

I came here with family. It looked nice at first but then we went to get food and it was cold. Also the service was terrible and the waiter kept annoying us for a tip at the end. read more

WHAT A FIND!! For 9.99 Lunch and 10.99 for Dinner, it works. Definitely KETO FRIENDLY, with nice fish. Sushi is nice not great. Could use some wrap to keep it from drying out. I was impressed with the decorations, great date place. GO, IT'S GREAT! read more

Stopped in because of good reviews. Had a large variety of food but wasn't very fresh. My favorite was the won ton soup. Asked the waitress could they put fresh fried chicken out and they did in about 10 minutes. Which was a plus. Very nice staff. read more

All Chinese buffets are the same for the most part. At my time of visit the place was very clean! Also when you go to most Chinese buffets everything taste fishy. I also ate the sun lunch special. My point is everyone wants to bitch about buffets. We know how they are. But this one clean and everything didn't taste like fish so it's a win win for me. Maybe because we got there when it first opened. So if you need your Chinese fixed I recommend this place lunch special. read more

This is a solid (though not spectacular) Chinese buffet. It's reasonably priced and has a good selection. The sushi is better than most Chinese buffets, but not quite what you would expect to get at a true sushi restaurant. I do think that the quality of the Americanized Chinese food (ie General tsao's chicken, lo mein, sesame chicken, etc.) is as good or better than you'll find anywhere in Winston. Also, pretty darn clean. I'll be back. read more

I'm visiting family here, in North Carolina. We were a larger group so we needed a place to accommodate all of us without a long wait. One of my nephews suggested Tin Tin Buffet. I'm not a huge Buffet fan as I've never had one that I really enjoyed, so I was skeptical coming in. Tin Tin was actually pretty good. The restaurant is very spacious and clean. The Buffet counter, plates and silverware were spotless. The food was pretty good and I was impressed to see fresh sushi and a hibachi grill. I would go back at my next visit. read more

I don't like to post negative reviews about the girls bussing the tables in any restaurant because they deserve to be compensated through tips and such. There was a young Chinese girl who started off nice, but then I apologized to her for not having a tip and so I thought it was okay. I told her I was going to do that on my next visit. She said that next time would be a different day. She didn't accept that and asked me again and then started hassling me to put a tip on my ticket. When I said I didn't have any extra money cuz the meal for me and my two kids was about $55. I know I could have stayed home and cooked but I wanted to treat my kids. They said they love this place. Anyhow that girl kept hassling me for the tip from my card and when I said next time, she was very upset and pushed her way past me and the kids and said a lot of things in Chinese which I construed as bad words. She kept saying it as she bussed my table and my son said thank you and he loved the food! read more

Excellent buffet with fresh huge sushi rolls . This is a must visit Asian buffet when you are in the Winston-Salem area .

Second time here! We went really early so they were still making sushi rolls for the bar. They didn't have as much sushi as the last time that I went, but it was a Sunday and this time it was a weekday so maybe that's why? The place looks very clean and it's really big, lots of seating with booths and tables. There is a really big variety of food both Asian and American. My favorite thing is the sushi. I love the spicy tuna rolls. They don't really have raw fish sushi except for the tuna. Everything else has the usual imitation crab and cucumber with egg I think? Like I said there are better selections on the weekends. The Hawaiian chicken brought me back to Hawaii and my husband ended up taking a big box of it home (at an extra cost of course) with some rice. The egg rolls are crispy and delicious. The general tso is really one of the best that I've had here in Winston. Fried was ok but the peas tasted super old. I love that they have spicy mayo on the salad bar for the sushi. I also love the plethora of ginger and wasabi! Donuts are good too. Didn't really try any of their desserts because I was so full. $21 for two people and one soda. Not bad at all. The staff was eating the in the back of the restaurant like another review said but it didn't affect the service at all. All of the food was hot on the bar. Try it out! read more

This is the best Asian buffet in Winston-Salem, we have long waited anticipation for this restaurant to open. The building is brand-new in modern style, The design is like Chinese modern garden with marble stone. The inside decoration is also very fancy. But The price of the buffet is very down to the earth. Not like the Tintin restaurant at the Charlotte which charge $25 per person's on the dinner they said because of crab leg, and there is no option to not have the leg to cut the price down. The sushi is very good, I have tried salmon skin salad which is very good, for the price you pay this is the best sushi in town. Hibachi grill are fresh and clean and do not have a long waited line. The buffet Items are fresh and average, I mean there's not much authentic Chinese item, I guess there is no market for Real Chinese food here in Winston. Our Family of five I had a lunch today, everyone seems to be very satisfied with the food here, we will definitely come back. read more

There's such a wide selection of food for the whole family and it's all so good!! The amount of food you can get for the price is AMAZING. Service isn't too spectacular, but other than that, I highly recommend Tin Tin! read more

I have to re review this place. I cannot stress how wonderful it is to find a really great Chinese Buffet. My parents love going so I've been to a few all over and this is by far the winner. We've been back several times and it is consistently great. The Sushi is amazing. Such creativity in the rolls. They have standards but the "new" stuff is fantastic. The presentation is the same as an exclusive Sushi bar. So impressed with the quality. read more

There is a good variety for the whole family! It's obviously not going to be five star dining, but you get what you pay for and for that I cannot complain. Sushi was actually very good, and I loved the shrimp Rangoon. They even have pecking duck and lots and lots of delicious seafood! Very good buffet! read more

I have always enjoyed this buffett in the past especially around the holidays as it's cheap and convenient for shopping and out of town family but I won't be eating there again. As I was getting my gloves on to get a plate of food one of the cooks cleared his throat and spit actual mucus into the hand washing sink no more than 3 feet from the food. We made solid eye contact for at least three seconds. He then proceeded to blow his nose and continue making food. He never used the sink to wash his hands or wash away his spit. I definitely couldn't eat after that and I just paid and left. I can't believe that someone would even think that was remotely appropriate in the first place especially with covid. Literally save yourself and eat somewhere else. read more

I have been searching for a good Chinese buffet for years that is clean and has lots of variety. This one has definitely met and exceeded my expectations. A buffet will never be five stars due to lack of flavor in some dishes, but this place is close. Staff is friendly and everything was clean and very presentable. read more

We love Chinese buffets and have our favorites across NC. There are several Asian Buffets that we have tried in the Winston-Salem area and Tin Tin Buffet is definitely the best. Firstly, it appears to be the cleanest by a very wide margin. There are reasonable number of item choices for most people and they have many more sushi choices than any buffet I have visited in NC. While the food at several Winston-Salem competitors had a noticeable "off" taste, the taste of all of Tin Tin's food choices was good to average. The reason this 3 star rating rather than something higher is that - several of the dishes were either cool or very cold. read more

As far a Chinese Buffets go, this one is very clean, but also very new. Hopefully the cleanliness stays up to par. The food selections are bountiful, including a Hibachi Grill, a large sushi selection, lots of seafood options, duck, frog legs, and all of the standard Chinese fare, plus a few American items. We have been three times now and experienced cold food on one visit as many people have commented on. We try to stick to the busy meal periods when you know items are constantly being replenished. As far as Chinese food goes, I would give it two stars compared to my favorites in San Francisco, Los Angeles and other big cities. But as far as local buffets go, they are a solid four stars. I haven't found one worthy of five stars yet. Let me know if you know of one!! read more

Tin Tin Buffet - Neon - Chinese Near Me - Winston-Salem, North Carolina

When you're on vacation and come with your entire family for dinner and the staff tells you they don't have enough waiters and will charge 50% tip. Yes! 50% tip! Had to ask twice if they meant 15! Absolutely ridiculous, I have never been to any restaurant that charges that amount for tip. The family members I came to visit will not be coming back. read more

There is a large selection of food. Everything looked clean and maintained. The food was good. Fruits were cold and sushi was ok.

I've been here twice now with my husband and I really like this place a lot. Their prices are super reasonable for the buffet especially with the huge variety of things they offer. They have so many dishes that I haven't seen other places. Coconut shrimp is one of my favorites and my husband loves the hibachi grill. Two cons...Drink prices are a little steep but that's to be expected nowadays. Also, their desserts are very sub-standard compared to the rest of the food. The little cakes sit out and get dry and overall just don't have much flavor. Not a huge deal as by the time you eat your heart out of all the delicious entres it doesn't matter much because there is little room for dessert anyway! I'm sure we'll be back. read more

Tin Tin Buffet - Coconut shrimp, stuffed salmon, Hawaiian chicken, honey chicken, butter shrimp and crab, terriaki chicken and scallops! - Chinese Near Me - Winston-Salem, North Carolina

I think the mistake I made here was I was expecting your average Chinese buffet, however it was far below average emphasizing the word far... For being a relatively new restaurant I was surprised on how dirty the interior was. With the exception of sweet and sour chicken everything kind of just had this very strange taste to it it I can't explain it. I like my Chinese food pretty basic sweet and sour chicken sweet and sour pork pepper steak and those are the kind of things that I usually eat and can enjoy. I've had my share of general Tao's chicken and this was the absolute worst I've ever had the egg rolls had some extremely weird flavor going on that I couldn't quite pinpoint the spring rolls were good which ingredients are basically the same if I'm not mistaken. Needless to say we will not be back. read more

This is the best place I've been too in a while! Not only is the food good, but the customers and workers. They make it fast for you to take your seat and fast to leave when you are ready. Everything is clean. Even where the food is, it stays clean. If you eat American food, they have that too and this place is affordable. I highly recommend this too anyone who just wanna eat at a place with good customer service. read more

This restaurant was like any other Chinese buffets in terms of what kind of food they had. The best thing about this place was how clean it was. I can say that Tin Tin is one of the cleanest Chinese buffets I've ever been to! Their service was pretty decent and I didn't feel gross when I ate (like I feel at some Chinese buffets...). Their food was pretty good and (seemed) fresh! My favorite was their wide variety of sushi. They even had sashimi (spicy tuna and salmon). If you ask the sushi chef for more, he'll prepare it really quick and bring it out while you wait. read more

Food was delicious! Love how they make their crab ragoons. All of the food was delicious, great service, and very clean. I will definitely be eating here again! read more

People have complained about an inspection rating of 82. I checked with my PhD eyes and it is currently 92. Still love this place!

Definitely won't be back! The food is cold, mushy and cold and under cooked (we went at 6pm it was packed so you would think it's fresh) $5.99 for children 2-5 my 3 year old literally ate 1/4 of a plate and I paid $6 for her 5 strings of noodles and 1 chicken nugget! Hibachi grill set up was empty no noodles, no broccoli, barely any chicken and steak! Very disappointing an expensive for the food also if you want crab legs it's $14 per pound! Definitely won't be back this is a very over hyped restaurant for the quality of the food read more
