Limited Items on the buffet but they are still getting started so if you like cheese sticks, chicken wings and ribs this place is for you. Dumplings steamed into mush and Asparagus that made me feel ill later that night. As a matter of fact, aside from the sushi most dishes are American and not Chinese or Asian in general. They offer service and Senior discounts which is a plus but forget your family as a lot of businesses are going to YOU get a discount only and not your whole bill. So if your in the Military your the only one despite your whole family being dependents. Deserts are limited, Full Salad Bar with cold Crab Legs. Sushi is not bad. All in all I give them two stars for limited menu items and pricing which is just shy a couple dollars of Chinese Buffets of larger size and more menu items. As far as the Military discount, that is always positive but businesses do it for Public Relations and not for the thanking the serviceman. If they were honoring the serviceman it would be the whole package, as in the Military Family that sacrifice all for this country. The reality is that location continues to fail because the building owner has no concept of the area and charges too much for rent. People cant maintain and there have been 6 buffets in that same building over the last 10 years.

This place was absolutely horrible in every facet this past weekend. After reading some of the reviews and looking at pictures I thought it would be a very enjoyable experience. Anything but. We sat down at our table and literally did not receive our drink for 25 minutes. We had both finished 1 plate of food before anyone ever brought us a drink, or even asked if we needed one. The service is horrendous. The food is no better. How do you have a buffet with only 1 section of actual Chinese food, eight options? Are you kidding me?! The food was disgusting. We will never ever be back to this place and would never ever recommend anyone go here. This place wont last long at all...Your claim to having over 150 food items is totally misleading. You have 8 actual Chinese buffet options, aside from the sushi, and everything else is fruit, deserts, fries, chicken wings, etc. If people wanted that stuff they wouldnt be at a Chinese buffet. Aside from the food I cannot believe it took 25 minutes and us calling a waitress over after repeatedly being passed by for us to get our drink, which were waters that we had to pay regular drink pricing for. That is unacceptable in every sense of the word. How people give this place a positive rating is mind blowing.

About six months ago my review was four stars, now it is a one star... And if I could have given it zero starsstars trust me, i would have. The food has gotten so bad, youre lucky to ever get anything fresh. Whats out has been sitting and Lord knows what has crawled on it ! It looks like they never clean the place, floors and walls are gross ! I wont even mention the bathrooms ! And the servers, they are so rude and so nasty (literally nasty) do they even wash their hands ? I spoke to the manager that was there at the time, I had also spoke to who i believe was the owner. Of course apologies, but nothing has changed it has only got worse. The kind of young snobby one who is at the front most of the time taking the money, etc. She is terrible, not only did she tell a friend of mine that they hire only "their kind" BUT she actually had the nerve to YELL AT MY MOTHER, excuse me !? Yeah, so if you like bad unfresh food, nasty resturants, and rude servers this is your place ! Haha ! I use to praise this place, now I tell everyone not to waste their money. Boooooo

Ok i uses to loved this buffet! But lately the waitress are not friendly, they serious and wont even offer u a refill for ur drink! But Today i went with my son and while still eating our lunch plate! The waitress gave us the fortune cookies and said thanks for comming however my son was eating his first plate and finished the soda and i did not get a refill! Ok tahts fine we got up for some dessert and when i went back to the table our table was clean no dirty plate no sodas, no utensils but the two fortune cookies! I told the waitress we want our drinks back cuz we where not done! And she looked mad! We were in that place not even 20 min when practicly felt like we r being kicked out! Any ways i told my husband about this experience and even he said never again! Used to be nice and friendly but now is just a Joke and it was almost 2pm the places was not crowded thanks Food is good ,sushi awesome, grill is the best! But sorry at least two of ur team workers need a retraining!

My fiance and I just had the most incredible experience here! We read so many wonderful reviews we decided to give City Buffet a try and were impressed beyond our expections! We had a lovely conversation with Dave, who was very friendly and inviting. We felt as if we were at a family pot luck! Im a Florida girl and have extremely high standards for my seafood. That said, I was completely blown away with the crab legs, oysters, and the SUSHI! Everything was the correct temperature, nothing smelled fowl, no discoloration nor was anything dry from sitting around too long. Also having had 10 years of food service experience, I was also impressed with the cleanliness. I admit I was weary of dining in Seffner but my spouse and I are full and very happy we came out tonight! We look forward to surprising our friends and family with this new gem in the outskirts of Brandon, FL!

I decided to try this place based on the reviews and was very disappointed. The first appearance when you walk in is not very good. The floors are in desparate need of replacing. Most of the staff are young kids or very young adults. They didnt appear to be very energetic. Once seated, we went to the food at the buffet. While they do replace food frequently and in smaller amounts, I was definitely not impressed. The food is not near as good as it looks. The sweet and sour chicken smelled awful and my mother in law couldnt eat it. The lo mein was over cooked. The spring rolls were not crunchy aa they should be. The best food was the bourbon chicken. I wouldnt dare venture to the sushi bar as I was afraid it would make me ill. I wont be back or recommend to anyone. The restaurant is in need of cleaning and adult supervision.
