+ Apple pie, banana nilla pudding, dinner bread, crab rangoon (chinese takeout style), fried dumpling, burbon chicken sauce all good - Most deserts nasty, very small selection...pretty sure the orange stuff in the cup is actually, legit, lotion - Most fruit tastes funny, no good, grapes are table grapes with huge seeds, sour, no good - Smallest sushi selection Ive ever seen, takes 30 minutes to make one roll and two people will run up and grab the whole thing...managed to grab one piece that had avocado and eel sauce on top but the inside was just a mashed up baby food mess and it made me nauseous - Chinese doughnuts and dumpling sauce meh...how do you mess those up?! - Pineapple marshmellow stuff nasty - Egg rolls were so old...like legit stale - Green beans and taters, usually great everywhere else, horrible here - All chicken, including in the burbon chicken, was bottom-of-the-barrel quality, barely edible - The...red bean buns? And similar type items are my new favorite at most buffets however the ones served here were gross, ultra chewy and sticky and wet in the wrong ways - Service was very slow on refills and getting out of there, took several minutes for them to find our check ------- Black, foamy, furry, crawling, pulsing MOLD all over the outside of the building. It reeked of death. Trash everywhere outside including IN, under, and on top of all the bushes. * Have ice cream machine We see the coupon in our saving safari or local newspaper every few weeks and finally decide to go after years of seeing that little coupon... BAD IDEA! I mean, Im glad to know now but man, Ive never gone through an entire buffet and been so thoroughly disappointed...DINNER BREAD should not be the best thing offered by a Chinese buffet. Overall this is a very sub-par buffet and I wouldnt return or suggest it to anyone.

Personally, I didnt really like this place all that much. I dont know if I just went on a bad day or not because judging from most of the previous reviews, it was a good experience. However, it was not for me or for my friends. I went a few days ago while visiting some of my old classmates in Titusville. We had hit up Buffet Village for the first time because for about $8, it was a fairly good deal. The food was only decent, nothing to rave about but it wasnt bad. The service is what we had a problem with. The server came by to grab our drinks but never asked to refill them. We had to go over and ask her to refill our drinks not once but twice! This would be understandable if there were a lot of customers but we believe that if she had enough time to play on her phone, she definitely had enough time to come over and see if we needed our drinks refilled. She didnt seem too friendly either-she seemed to be frustrated and upset that we wanted refills and napkins, since there were none at the table. I dont know if it was because she was having a bad day or something but as this was her job, it shouldnt have reflected on her service. Bottom line-we wont be coming here again.

First of all, we arrived at 12:30 p.m to the restaurant. (Eating at a buffet after peak meal times is just begging for cold or dried out food). There was absolutely *nothing* that was undesirable about the quality or selection of food. The hibachi grill had a lot of choice (including tofu)....much more than many a hibachi grills we have ever been to. The hibachi also had 6 different sauces to accompany its items. The sushi bar selections were vibrant in color and were being made as customers perused about. The salad bar included a nice selection of fruit. The entrees of meats and vegetables were plentiful. Some other things that made this place distinguishable were 1. The wontons for Wonton Soup were kept in their own separate steamer with lid to prevent them from getting too overly cooked and gummy. 2. The ice cream on the dessert bar was *not* ice milk. 3. The entree selections were inclusive of shrimp, crab and barbeque pork. 4. The prices at lunch were reasonable. This review comes from a mom of several children.

Salad bar fresh, fruit cold and tasty. Ok, now the rest: The food is just as bad as it has always been. The big winner was the pizza (!) and the poached fish (labelled as grilled tilapia...right). The bourbon chicken was hard and chewy, the general Tso tastes just like it in a darker shade of chewy brown. Breaded fried chicken was inedible. The fries were precooked and tough, chicken skewers were weapon ready, bbq ribs fatty and tasteless. Somehow the hibachi cook managed to fry/steam my fresh vegetable choices until they were limp and tasteless. That took skill and many hard hours of ruthless practice, Im sure. My ice cream is melting into a watery puddle as I type, covered with syrup straight out of a hersheys squeeze bottle. All ice cream topping choices are empty. I had hoped for a change for the better in the last 5 years. Ill try again in a couple years.

Sunday is 11.99 and simply isnt worth it. Little of the food is made right, the classics like honey chicken are just sitting in pools of liquid instead of being glazed, their sauced chicken is also super dry. They advertise crab legs on Sunday and outside put their 11.99 price next to it. once you go in theres a sign stating the crab legs are an EXTRA 6.99 per person, however there are no crab legs so it doesnt matter. Their Mongolian grill is quite good however, pile your plate and they cook it fresh. That was the only enjoyable part though, avoid the thing labeled "Meat Pie" it taste like rancid meat left over from the week before and its drier than a desert.

So gross. We have been there a few times without a problem, but last time I witnessed a waitress exit the bathroom stall, wet her hands, run them through her hair, and leave without ever actually washing them. She wondered why I wouldnt let her refill our glasses afterward. Thank goodness she never touched our plates and another waitress handled the check. Speaking of plates, I had to go through multiple ones to find a clean one on the buffet that same visit. I complained to the manager when we left about the waitress /bathroom issue, and their only response was to ask if the bathroom stall itself was clean. We will not be returning.

Dined 6/23/16 around 6:15 pm. Found the foods to be delicious, hot foods were well stocked and hot, the steam tables all work well and were clean. The same could be said for the cold tables as well. If theyve had sanitation issues in the past, theyre taking things seriously today. Id like to mention the Mongolian grill area because it deserves special consideration. All of the raw meats were displayed on heaping trays of ice, with each type (beef, pork, seafood etc) placed in their own trays. Cold portions of veg were similarly displayed in icy cold water. Similarly minced garlic, chili oil, were panned floating over icy water

I once went on a cruise that had bland food and had you running to the bathroom after a half an hour.. This was worse than that. The food had very little taste if at all, was only mildly warm if not cold, the bread items were stale as well. I had flop sweats and stomach cramps even before leaving the restaurant. I barely made it home (only 5 miles away) before running to the bathroom with painful diarrhea. This was the closest Ive ever been to food poisoning without actually having food poisoning. And for all my trouble I got to spend $35.00 to poison my mom and myself. Just awful! Never again!
