    Way over cooked salmon, no flavor fried rice, and gross baked crab
    Michele M.

    I am not a buffet kind of person, and this experience reminded me why. The food was not good at all. It looked old, nothing was hot, nothing had any taste, or seasoning. Selections were mislabeled. We all ended up just making a salad. Can't mess up lettuce and cucumbers. The staff was in abundance and not sure why. They were not friendly or helpful. I asked 2 questions, and each time, I was answered with nothing more than a point of the finger. Flies were everywhere, and I was able to kill one while in the bathroom. I'm not sure who is keeping them in business, but hey, good luck to you. I will never be back nor the 3 other people I was with.

    Food at buffet was like warm. The chicken and broccoli, fried wontons and egg drop soup were good, but should have been hotter. Service was standard for Chinese buffet. Ambiance was nice. I will be tying another place for my Chinese buffet though.

    I've been here a few times ,but this was probably my worst experience yet. It wasn't horrible, just the least "ok" experience. We got seated after a minute of standing around. The waitress wasn't very pleasant. Went up for food & there seemed to be less than I remember & had very few desserts, which is a big bummer for me. My boys love sushi but said theirs wasn't very good today. Their pizza was horrible, but then again, I am at a Chinese buffet. Lol They weren't filling up the empty trays very fast, they were taking their good 'ol time. I couldn't even get a donut cause my son took the last one & they never refilled them. Their General Tzo's was NOT good at all. Their fried rice & lomein were pretty good. Fried chicken- gross They had pizza egg rolls which weren't bad, but didn't have a strong flavor. Their tables & chairs need to be replaced & the ladies room definitely needed some serious tending to, but obviously no one checks on them. Only one stall could be stomached to go into. The other 2 made me sick. I will not be returning here again.

    Lunch with the hubbs on WFH Friday.

    Well, maybe I am just easy to please. Or maybe I have low expectations for an $11.99 AYCE lunch buffet. Or maybe I have no class. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle, haha. Truth be told, I generally am not a fan of Chinese buffets anymore. I am vegetarian, and I find the selections to be more limited than you'd think. But my hubbs is a part-time meat eater, and he had a hankering for a gluttonous lunch on a random day we were unexpectedly together for lunch, so off we went. We walked in and were greeted right away. I wouldn't say warmly, but certainly not rude. I asked for a booth, to which the hostess obliged. The booth was in a side room that wasn't immaculate nor in great shape; basically decor and furnishings that still function but have seen better days. It was comfortable and clean enough. The buffet itself was actually pretty clean, and I suppose that matters most. For weekday lunch, I was a bit surprised to see all rows of the buffet fully stocked. There was a cold bar with fruit and salad items, three hot bars, and a cold bar with dessert items, plus an ice cream freezer. There was also a sushi line, which we didn't eat, so I am not sure if it has an upcharge. The majority of dishes on the buffet here are meat dishes, probably more than 85%. If you are vegan, you'll be even more limited than that. The lo mein unfortunately was not vegetarian. But the fried rice was a vegetable fried rice. There was also a vegetarian egg foo young, buttered potatoes, green beans, cheese broccoli, vegetable spring rolls, hot and sour soup, cheese pizza, and breadsticks, plus the salad bar. I was disappointed there were no tofu nor beancurd dishes at all. But I was pleasantly surprised with the veggie food they did have actually being quite satisfying. Sure, not the most flavorful Chinese food I have ever had. But for $11.99, beggars can't be choosers. Everything seemed fresh to me. The salad bar didn't have much, but the iceberg lettuce was crisp and cold, the hard boiled eggs were fresh, and I actually really liked the french dressing. Plus all of the dressings were kept tidy, no co-mingling of drips. And I enjoyed the vegetable fried rice. It was simple, could use a bit more soy sauce or salt, but it had a decent amount of peas, carrots, and onions in it. The vegetable egg foo young wasn't bad. I liked the breadsticks more than I did the vegetable springroll. An unexpected star of the show was the dessert bar. I find dessert bars at buffets like this to usually be lackluster. But this one had a couple delicious little cakes that were spongy, creamy and fresh. Plus there was a yummy vanilla wafer pudding with whip that I also liked more abundantly than I should have. My husband ate a few piles of meats. He was pleased. Considering I essentially ate lettuce, rice, eggs, bread, and a couple little cakes, I would not come back here for dinner prices. But for the occasionally reasonably priced lunch, so far so good. What I did eat was satisfying, the servers kept our waters full and dishes cleared, and the $11.99 per person bill was fair. Under those circumstances, I'd return.

    Cream cheese Rangoon with no flavoring.

    I have never had Chinese take out that was so completely tasteless. There was no seasonings or sauces to give any flavor. The egg roll was tiny, overcooked and again, flavorless. The crab ragoons we're large but filled with just plain cream cheese, there was no crab or scalliobns. Plus they charge you 50 cents extra for the sweet and sour sauce that is typically given to you with the ragoons. The mei fun had a lot of shrimp but the noodles just tasted like a waste of calories so I ended up tossing the whole thing. Chicken and mushrooms were okay. Cooked well, but could only enjoy after soaking the entire meal with soy sauce and duck sauce. I will never get takeout from here again.

    In terms of a chinese buffet, this was pretty middle of the road. I'd never expect 5 star quality from a place like this, but it was really mediocre regardless. We were seated immediately, staff was fairly pleasant, I guess. The interior wasn't dirty. I wouldn't say it was sparkling clean either. I went with one other person at like 6pm on a thursday, it wasn't crowded and wasn't empty. Pretty quiet, really casual vibe. You just come to eat cheap food fast. I just really didn't think the food was great. Compared to other chinese buffets in the area this probably had the lowest quality of food. I didn't hate anything, but none of it was great. Idk, 3 stars. Didn't hate it but wouldn't go back.

    Take out buffet allegedly around 36 ounces but weighing in at 18 ounces (including 4 oz packaging)
    Mark D.

    I decided to stop here as I was looking for a take-out buffet through which I could just take a spoonful of each item. I used to love doing this at Wegmans, but their hot foods area has been closed since covid. Considering Zhangs charges about $5.49/lb, I thought this would still be a good deal. I picked up the items and checked out. I was charged $10.60. This being the case, I would think i had almost 2 lbs of food. I came home and decided to weigh the food. It weighed 18 ounces! That's right, well under the 36 ounces I was charged for. Food quality: The quality of the food here is overall between a "pretty bad" and a "didn't say I wouldn't eat it", whether it be the fried rice or the General Tso's chicken. The only item I liked was the Thai chicken skewers and the duck. I might go back if I don't find another take-out buffet in the area. If you happen to know of one, please PM me. I will give them an extra star for their covid protocol and the fact that the food isn't scarce.

That includes clearing of items you're done with immediately and no waiting for your bill. I was never rushed; they were just great at their job! Honestly hard to find over the last few years and I was very grateful for that experience alone. The ambience was a very cozy-casual. As I was dining alone this time, I enjoyed the 80s music and videos playing on the TV haha I have to be honest ... I really really wanted to order a roll! But I'm trying to do better about trying other things. So I ordered the Atlantic mussels and the pan seared scallops with veggies with fresh ginger sauce and rice, at a spice level of 3/5. The mussels were very generous and in a large bowl. My biggest pull, aside from the mussels themselves, was that in the description it had a creamy coconut sauce. But I did not taste any coconut and it wasn't creamy. It was broth. It wasn't bad or anything, just not quite what I was expecting. I did appreciate, in general, that there were a couple of mussel options. I hadn't had them in quite some time. The dinner entree was very good. I loved that there was a 1-5 spice scale to choose from. I picked level 3 and was a little worried it wouldn't be spicy enough but it definitely was! It was perfect. The sauce was good and the scallops plump. Veggies were fresh and rice sticky. I had water to drink and it was also very good (felt it deserved a mention lol). I would definitely come back here, but I would definitely order rolls next time! It's what my heart really desires! Side note: great place to indulge in for a whole food diet! I felt very satisfied from my seafood and veggies!!

They had egg fu yung, with pork gravy at hand. Also very good. Have never seen either of those at a Chinese buffet before. We were there a week ago, so not surprising that I don't remember the third item that was new to the buffet scene. But I have to mention that the green beans, a buffet staple, were perfect. The only fish, however, was a fried fish, tilapia, I think. Frank, a mostly vegan guy, enjoyed a lot of shrimp, but missed mussels and clams. I'm not going to tell him, but if the eggplant in garlic sauce was instead of mussels, I was happy. Every hot dish was hot enough and every cold dish cold enough. There are a lot of good Chinese buffets in the Buffalo area. Friendly is one of the best.

I may be spoiled with real Louisiana and Texas crawfish and seafood boils but the oil was so unpleasant. The crawfish was oily, flavorless, and tasted dirty. The crab was probably presalted and just reheated in the boil. I asked for some cajun seasoning and salt to sprinkle on top but there was just too much oil. I am disappointed with this type of boil and hope I can find a more traditional type with no oil somewhere in Buffalo.
