This place definitely the best Asian Buffet for the weekend. I can't find anywhere that have AYCE snow crabs, lobster tails for this affordable price of $29! Food always fresh, so many to choose from. Staffs are friendly and attentive. They also refill the food very quick without having to wait. If you're a seafood lover then this is the place for you! Keep in mind they only serve snow crabs all day weekend.
Nice Asian place with a variety of food in which you can drown for only $20) very tasty fish and shrimps as well as pastries.
This a the right place for you if you are looking for a variety of food for lunch or dinner with a decent price. The food was hot and good and our server was very attentive. It was kind of disappointing that they didn’t have a paper towel in the restroom when we were there. We will try to be back again if we are in the area .
Nice food some people awaiting only crabs legs and lobster
First of all this, in my opinion, is the only local Chinese buffet that I’m aware of. We went twice. The first time was to try the actual buffet, and it was only at the end of our visit that we realized there’s a grill area. So we went back a second time. Secondly, the service is always impeccable. Third the selection is quite expansive which is always a good thing. I’m going to go backwards from the perspective that the dessert bar is quite wonderful. I love the different fruits, cookies and pastries, and they do mix it up because it was different between both visits. I know this is going to sound silly? But I loved the ice cream. The ability to just get a little Taste of chocolate/vanilla twist was fun. Now, having said that the variety of seafood was quite the array! The vegetables, rice, chicken dishes. It is everything you could expect it to be. Not gonna lie, even though they turn the food over very quickly? Some of the dishes like the bone in sparerib were a little bit tough. One of the chicken dishes I think it was the chicken pepper was a little bit dry. Again, take it for what it’s worth. It’s a buffet and again in all fairness they flipped that food over very quickly. It didn’t last very long. If you’re in the mood to just come in, pay one price to sample all the dishes, including by the way, the sushi bar. Plus the grill bar. Plus the fruits and the cookies and the desserts? Not to mention, I’ll repeat? The seafood. It was actually quite good. I give it a 4 just from the simple perspective of you’ve got food that sits out on the buffet, and the longer it sits sometimes, not always, though, it could cook a little too much. I will say that I was able to get some of the salmon as soon as they brought it out and it was very good, thick well cooked. My personal favorites were the fried biscuits, fried wonton (I would say crab Rangoon but no crab). I really enjoyed the shrimp sticks. The little baby clams were very good. Nothing was too fishy at all. So they did a really good job. Some of the chicken and the rib dishes? I think they were a little bit dry or tough, but it wasn’t bad by any means. I would say for a Chinese buffet? Highly recommend visiting though please note on a Saturday and Sunday I believe it is $27.99 a person all you could eat. Oh, I almost forgot! They also make custom-made soup bowls, which were quite good and I personally enjoyed the grill this visit. I did steak, chicken, baby shrimps, mushrooms, onions, sprouts, carrots, and a garlic sauce, and the grilled staff did an amazing job with it. Having settle of this? I recommend it. You can’t beat it as far as Price and the huge variety of food they have for you to select from. There’s no limit it’s all you could eat! That means you can have the bowl of soup, the grill, or any of the variety of buffet that I’m about to share pictures of. To be honest, the place was packed! People were walking around with crabs and clams piled up on their plates! So that should tell you something. My favorite is always going to be a beach seafood buffet. But for a change, this is not a bad option by any means!
I was looking for a Chinese buffet and tried Asian Buffet & Grill because of the reviews. First, this place is pretty big. The decor is usual, but it could use some repairing / maintenance. Second, the waitress did a good job checking if I needed anything. Third, the food was pretty good. There are many choices, from hibachi to sushi to soups and the buffet with numerous choices. The crablegs were medium to large in size and very good. The price is reasonable for all the choices offered. I would recommend Asian Buffet & Grill.
We had a nice experience during our first time here. There was a great variety of food with good flavor and wonderful service.
