Update: after two dinners, I’m pretty comfortable in saying that if you’re only coming for the crab legs, you’ll be disappointed. One time, four women next to me had what appeared to be the entire amount of crab legs that are put out at one time, and I arrived at 4:04pm(four minutes after they started serving the crab legs). The tray isn’t refilled very quickly, so you’ll just get upset if you see someone has hogged all the crab. On the other hand, they have so much raw sushi, raw clams, fantastic pork loin and prime rib, and other special items only for dinner, that not having crab legs wasn’t that big of a deal for me, and it takes a lot of crab legs to get much meat out of them anyway… just so you’re not surprised. Raw clams are making a comeback, I recommend trying them with just fresh lemon juice(wedges are next to the clams), or maybe with some of the wasabi or cocktail sauce. The point is, you can eat rather healthy food here at a price that is way below what you would pay in a store, if they even sold it.

My fiancée and I went last night. It was a waste of money. When we walked in, the manager was slouching over the counter very unprofessionally. He was very rude and hasty when he greeted us, then ushered us to a table where he proceeded to YELL at the server in front of us. The food was ok. For two adults, we paid $ 35 for two buffets and two soft drinks, plus a $ 5 tip. We were in & out in about 25 minutes. For the price, this buffet is not worth it. Both times I’ve been there, it was a VERY noisy environment, very crowded, children running around everywhere, dirty floors, patrons coughing all over the food… This place charges too much for the low-quality dining experience they provide. Wish we had gone to Olive Garden instead!

Sushi selection could have been better. But overall, the buffet was good. Our server was attentive, our table was always clean and drinks always full. — All you can eat ‘sushi’. — Buffet with Chinese and American choices. — hibachi bar, all you can eat. — ice cream bar Clean, quiet, and good overall. Would come back.

This place gets a solid 4. Been here twice already and the first time I came here was a 3, but the second time i came here gets a low 5, so Ill rate it somewhere in the middle. The second time got a higher rating because the sushi chef was putting put a lot of tamago and also lots of Maguro Red tuna instead of that white tuna stuff that everyone else passes at «Tuna». The food looked fresher the second time around also. They had this big prime rib that you cut your part and had the guy at the grill cook it. They also had this great tasting Pork lion that was VERY good. I couldn’t stop eating it, it was so flavorful. They also have the usual chicken items. Bbq chicken, general tso, teriyaki chicken. Their teriyaki chicken tasted old and i only had like two bites and I couldn’t eat it anymore. My favorite food I love every time coming to buffets is the Coconut shrimp. I don’t know what they put in it but that dish i cannot get enough next to sushi. They also have bacon wrapped shrimp. Those are always good. Pretty much sushi, any only big meat products, coconut shrimp, & maybe some chicken items are my favorite. Couple things they could improve on was the baked deserts. The baked deserts seem to be lacking. I had a few items, but nothing really great that stood out. Second was refilling the crab legs. I don’t eat any crab legs, but the refill times on those were really slow epically compared to other items that were out. Over all, this place is one of the better Chinese buffet that I have tried in the area especially compared to that one in Erie, PA that I tried recently and I will be back.

Was not bad. I didn’t have high expectation. The sushi could have been better but I had a lot of veggies that was not covered in salty sauce. Decent selection and for all you can eat on a weeknight price of $ 14.99, it was not bad. There were a lot of families there. The ambiance looks run down and it definitely could have been freshened up. Though I was not happy to see in the kitchen a whole rack of institutional sized cans. Made me wonder if the food was fresh.

I think that this one of the better if not the best Chinese buffet in the area. There is such a wide selection of food, include a variety of sushi, also shrimp with cocktail sauce. I do wish they had a better selection desserts tho, but they do have w variety of ice cream, with puddings and jello. I will definitely be there again.

We go here often. Service is not always 100% as this place is usually super busy. However the food is always hot and delicious and they have a fantastic assortment of options for even the pickiest eaters(my children) I would highly recommend!

Some might disagree with a 5 star rating, but let me explain why I feel this place deserves it! First of all — there was plenty of parking and I even got a shady spot under a tree. Second, there was no line, which means I didn’t have to wait. The list is going to go on and on here. The selection of food was CRAZY and you could see how fresh it was and HOT — there was constant steam coming off the food and the food that was supposed to be cold was COLD! This is a good sign that food temperatures were controlled and regulated well. Price — come on folks — I had all you could eat crab — plus sushi and hibachi and everything else — it really doesn’t get better. Plus I had no choice to eat slow because of those crab legs — lots of work, but I love crab legs! Service — though they didn’t bring me my food — they kept our table cleared and for four audits, a child and a baby that was pretty impressive if you ask me. I Tried many things today and not one thing was bad — I liked it all and therefore — I will gladly be returning to this place — just cannot believe I had never tried it before. If YOU haven’t given it a try — you might want to stop by the next time you visit the Mall — Savers — or any other place around OR you could just go to this place and save your money!

See Jason P.‘s comments. They are mine as well. If I read one more super picky comment about Chinese buffets I’m gonna scream. They run out of sesame chicken at Zhang’s so you drop a placenta on the floor? If you go to a Chinese buffet mid afternoon when it’s dead the spread will not be as big as when it’s busy. Otherwise they would waste even more food then they do already. If you had a brain or if you ever worked in a restaurant you’d know that. Get over yourselves!

Large buffet with many options, the make your own Mongolian bar is not user friendly. Apalled at how we were treated by staff today. I’m on the phone(emergency not for fun) and the waitress broke into my conversation 3 times asking for us to pay. We hadn’t even finished eating! The restaurant wasn’t busy, so they weren’t in need of the booth. Won’t be returning.

Went there for a dinner buffet on a Friday. Place was very busy, which meant the food was freshly cooked. The selection and flavour left a lot to be desired though. Many options were incorrectly labeled. Fried squid was so chewy it was inedible. Wonton soup has very little flavour. Dumplings are very chewy. Honey chicken was decent, sweet & sour is your standard(nothing exciting there). When I saw the hibachi option I was excited. But after going over and trying to ask the cook some questions, I lost interest. He didn’t speak english and couldn’t explain any of the options sitting before him. You’ll also want to skip the sushi. Although it is freshly rolled, it tastes like the fish has been sitting around a while. Ingredients don’t seem fresh in general for many of the dishes there.

This is a huge buffet with so many options. You will not go away hungry. There are so many different options of chicken from orange, general tso, sesame, black pepper and chicken and vegetables. I was so stuffed after eating lots of thing. I couldn’t eat everything I wanted cause it was so much food. I will be back again and maybe I will start at the other counter and work my way backwards than I did this time to make sure I try the other things. They had a hibachi grill with many options and also quite a few different sushi dishes. This is the place to go if you are in the mood for Chinese food and can’t just pick one thing.

FIRSTTIMETHEREWASDECENT. 2nd time we were one of the 1st ones for luch. Everything was ice cold left overs. A nys health inspector sat right behind us and was walking around with a digital thermometer and shaking his head at everything he poked. He kept walking in to the kitchen and talking to the cooks. You could tell all the employees were nervous. We were so grossed out we stopped eating. By the time we left everything finally started to steam. There was no hibachi cook, prolly cause he was the one getting yelled at by the health inspector. Get made to order takeout, don’t go to this place!

Stopped in for lunch right after they opened. Typical Chinese buffet — the food was good and my heart was racing by the time I left. The bathroom was immaculately clean, and the buffet was clean as well. I’ll be back, next time I’m in the area and need to bust my waist line.

The service is pretty bad, but this is by far the best Chinese buffet in the area. They have a pretty extensive selection and my kids just love it. It can get quite crowded on the weekends.

Disgusting. Absolutely deplorable service, and keep your eye on the Hibachi cook. He spits! Like, literally turns his head while he’s making your food, and spits on the ground.

No. No, no, no. No. I will not be returning to Mongolian Buffet. I was brought here under the pretext of «great Mongolian food». Since my cell phone was having reception issues, I was unable to verify this. Well, thanks a lot, AT&T. Thanks to your network, I got to experience what was one of the saddest Chinese buffets(with a small«Mongolian» grill in the back). Even with the graded curve for Chinese buffets, this one ranks quite low. The selection was small, the food was not flavourful(unless extremely fishy mussels are your thing) and the selection for the«Mongolian» grill were limited. The service was not very existent. Dirty plates sat around for a while. Water glasses ran low. I think it cost us about $ 13 – 15 per person for the buffet. To say it was not worth it would be an understatement. Yet, this place was packed to the gills. We had to wait 20 minutes to get a table.(given the abundance of delicious and cheap restaurants in Buffalo, I don’t understand this.) If you are debating Mongolian Buffet, I recommend the Chipotle near by instead.

I’ve been here several times and I’ve never had a bad experience. My husband and I have come here for the buffet during lunch and dinner both during the week and weekend. I feel this buffet has a wide variety of food; seafood(clams, oysters, crab legs, fish) meats(chicken, pork, beef), vegetable dishes(string beans, mixed veggies, salads) chinese and american dishes and a wide assortment of sushi, and dessert foods(fruit and traditional sweets). I’ve been to a lot of bad buffets before, this isn’t one of them. The quality is better at this buffet, and the food rolls out relatively quickly. I will and have come here numerous times! When my husband and I are in the area and don’t know what to eat, we eat here!
