Customer Reviews
This was our first time dining here. Upon entering, the restaurant looks appealing, but once you reach the dining area and see the food stations, it becomes discouraging. The cleanliness at several stations was concerning, and having cold desserts displayed alongside hot food does not make sense and could potentially be unsafe. The quality and taste of some of the dishes were just average at best. We decided to try the hibachi, but unfortunately, the experience was disappointing—the chef seemed inexperienced, and the food lacked flavor. Overall, due to concerns with cleanliness, food quality, and food handling, I would not recommend this restaurant.
It was first time eating here and the selection of items being offered was great. There is something for everyone from desserts, fruits, salads, American food and of course Chinese food. The atmosphere is fine and the price is very reasonable. I will definitely come again and recommend it to others.
In general, I do not eat at buffets due to the inconsistent management practices. This establishment, while satisfactory at best, received a rating of 3 out of 5. The food was fresh and hot when I visited during opening hours. Therefore, I cannot provide an assessment of the food’s presentation and taste during later hours. The service appeared to be somewhat inconsistent. Due to dietary restrictions, I primarily consumed protein-based dishes, so I cannot offer a comprehensive evaluation of the majority of the menu items. However, all the meat was bland, lacking distinct flavor and comparable to other Chinese restaurants in the area.
I visited Buffet City with a friend who swore it was a good, tasty meal at a fair price. And she was absolutely correct. We went for lunch, and as the name states, it is a buffet style restaurant. The food was fresh and delicious. Since you serve yourself, I removed one star for the limited service they provide… basically serving drinks and refills. Overall it was a very delightful dining experience. They serve all you can eat meals, with different prices depending on the day and time, and your age group. Buffet City. Well worth it.
We came here on Sunday around 8:00 PM. They charge full price and advertise that they are open until 9:30 PM, but by the time we arrived, almost everything was gone. There were only a few sushi rolls left, most of the buffet trays were completely empty, and the staff made no effort to refill or cook anything, even though there was still over an hour and a half before closing. As for the rest of the food — absolutely terrible quality. The beef ribs were so dry and overcooked that the meat wouldn’t even come off the bone. Everything looked old, dry, and unappetizing. Avoid this place. This is honestly the worst buffet we’ve ever been to. If you want a proper meal, go to the Buffet City in Sarasota instead — it’s much fresher, cleaner, and far better in quality.
