I AM NEVER COMING BACK TO THIS PLACE AGAIN!!! When it first opened, I was excited because I LOOVED chinese buffet places! The first few times, the food was pretty good, and the price was not bad, so it was worth repeat visits, but the last two times I took my mother there for lunch was a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STORY! I am the type of person who loves to have a wide variety of food, and I dont feel like making a mess of trips to the buffet table, so I bring two or 3 plates with lots of food so that I have plenty to keep me and not need to get up repeatedly. Well the manager actually had the audacity to walk up to our table and accuse us of "wasting food" and rudely asked us to "clean our plates before getting more food"! Correct me if I am wrong, but this is an ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT BUFFET restaurant is it not? Who cares if I come to my table with one plate or ten? After that experience, we were turned off from that place for several months. After time passed we decided maybe we should try it again, and to our disbelief, the SAME manager did the same thing again! It was enough to make me lose my appetite! Oh and even if it wasnt for that rude manager, the quality of the food had SIGNIFICANTLY lessened, and it was mostly tasteless! My personal recommendation is to AVOID THIS RESTAURANT LIKE THE PLAGUE!!! If you want an alternative to this place, go to the Shinju Buffet at SW 87th Ave and Sunset Dr. Their food is MUCH better and their service is top-notch!!!

Eh, its OK. I am not much a buffet type of guy anymore because I hate to see people throw away and waste food. However, I will give them credit for posting signs that say "Do not waste food!" So with that, I give them credit. I used to go to so many cheap china buffet restaurants in Hialeah, FL back when I was a little kid. However, over time, they have just gotten really bad and disgusting. It is sad to see what has happened to them. Well, this place brings me back to the great memories of when I was small and the food those restaurants used to serve. I have never been able to go back in time until today. For that, I also give them credit. The place is packed on Sundays and its extremely noisy. It is pretty big, but seems small because of the amount of people dining. However, what do you expect for pretty OK food at a good price? They also have a sushi bar and another type of bar (the name escapes me, sorry) where they do custom orders. All in all, its OK and I would come back. They have every single different types of foods so even if you dont like Chinese food, they have pizza and ice cream, LOL! Its all for about $8 p/p. Enjoy! :)

WORTH FOR EVERY PENNY YOU HAVE SPEND. i just love this buffet, man $8 all you can eat dinner, which included Hibachi grill and Sushi and all you can eat hot dishes you can beat it. it is great deal. i have been there for than a dozen time, always have no problem at with the food and the service. The waitress will kiss my a**, because i always leave $1. Man i have no idea why these people complain a lot about the food. some review compare this is resturant to OUTBACK STEAK HOUSE i think is funny, come on you you want to eat welllll like UPTOWN BUFFET, in OUTBACK STEAK HOUSE you have to spend at leat $50 per person. come on lets be real $8 vs $50. i will be preferred UPTOWN BUFFET, freedom of eating, a lot choices only for $8 with soda. man i just love it.

A group of friends and I went to check it out. Worst idea ever. When we got to the table the waitress threw the straws on the table like we were dogs. Didnt say hi or nothing. There was variety of food, but it all tasted like dirt. The sushi was horrible. Made by non-asian people to be politically correct. Not worth it. The broccoli was still frozen. Friends complained of the food leaving a nasty after taste and giving them diarrhea. If youre just wanting to fill your stomach up and sacrifice taste and good service, then theres nothing wrong with the place.

Im sorry to make a review about chinese buffet, but this particular location is not what other reviews above best discribe. the food is horrible all rice were dry, chicken is hard and dry, the only this i enjoyed is the raspberry ice tea which was the best ice tea i have ever tasted. other then that. the food is complete garbage. in fact my stomach is in pain due to the food. again this is the first buffet ive tryed that forced me to wright a bad review. please before eating. look at all the selections they have. thank you

The driving factor here is price, this is by far the cheapest buffet Ive been to. With that said youd think the food would be terrible but it is at least worth the price. Youre not going to find the best quality but I cant argue for extreme quality when the price is so perfect. I enjoy the fresh cooked food at the grill and the local offerings such as tostones and chicharones along with classic American Chinese dishes. The sushi is never fresh but it hasnt killed me yet.

To my experience I give the foods 5 starts, i like to go to the grill department where they cook your steak, chicken or seafood fresh, you pick it out of the counter, and they will cook it in front of you, with anything you want with it and as much as you want then you can eat dessert, all for a great price, the staff is friendly and all are serving you with a smile, I aet very often and I never had any problems so far, I recommend to any one.

The food is not great, but its pretty good. Some items were cooked to the point of being dry and overcooked. Others were well prepared and were very nice. Such as is with most buffets. This is worth a short trip to at least try. You may find that you really like it. There was a rather well talented man performing live. Singing old classics like New York, New York and some 70s pop music. Quite nice, but a little on the loud sude.

La comida estaba regular pero el trato pésimo. La mesera no esperaba que uno acabara un plato y venia a retirarlo de la mesa. Nos trajo la cuenta y en mala forma exigió propina. No regreso a ese lugar.

The food is great, though I wouldve enjoyed a larger selection. Still, what was there, was worth it. Our host was very attentive and helpful. We had no problem getting refills, extra utensils, or suggestions. I felt the place was sanitary enough, considering where its located (if youre wondering, yes, I was actually looking for stuff to pick at.) I was satisfied with my experience there and would definitely go again.

The food tasted old. Not all things that should have been hot, were hot, Luke warm at best. Not sure if theyre reheating yesterdays leftovers to save on food costs? But if your looking for quality, I wouldnt go here. If your starving and want to be cheap, this is a good spot. I guess you Couldnt ask for more for only $8.25. Skip the buffet and just do the hibachi bar in the back. At least thats cooked to order.
