Flaming Grill Buffet

Discovered Flaming Grill over the summer because they sent us some coupons. I have never been for dinner, because lunch prices are too good. 7.49 plus tax! I went today and saw signs that starting February 1, lunch prices will go up o 7.99. The price raise was inevitable as this place is doing very well. It’s always very busy!
There is a wide selection of food here from Chinese to American. I’m not too big on this food, because I come here for the hibachi! I have tried a few things and they are mediocre. Nothing extraordinary, just your regular Chinese buffet items. Sushi is also meh here.
However, 7.49 for unlimited hibachi. doesn’t get any better!
You have tons of choices of vegetables, basically everything you can think of that would go well in hibachi, meats include shrimp, beef, chicken. Not the highest quality, but you can understand since it’s such a cheap buffet.
You can also choose to put in some garlic or red pepper oil to make it spicy. The person who grills the food makes it very delicious each time. I am excited to eat hibachi Everytime we come here.
It’s too bad prices are going up, but 7.99 is still pretty good for a buffet!

Price is on point. I love this spot. They have a bar setup that will cook in front of you… All you can eat. If you been to Kobe’s or Habachi and paid $ 25 bucks per plate, you’ll come here and think you’ve been robbed at those other places. The staff is attentive and the food is filling. They even have ice cream (wrapped) and fresh fruit and sushi. The all you can eat is less then 15bucks drinks included a person… How awesome is that. Right beside the AMC theatre with the lazy boy seats… Wow great place to be

I’ve been to so many Chinese buffets, just to be disappointed in the end. That was not the case for this place! We were deciding between outback and red lobster when we passed this buffet. After checking Unilocal,we decided to try it out. They had so many options, and different food than other Chinese buffets. They were constantly restocking stuff, too. They had a huge salad/​dessert bar, plenty of american food and Chinese food options, a sushi bar, and a hibachi. They also had the white sauce at the hibachi, which if you’ve ever tried, it tastes like heaven! I noticed that everything looked fresh and yummy! The service was great, everyone was really friendly. I enjoyed the food, and it was only $ 11.99 a person for a dinner buffet, that’s not bad. We’ll definitely be back!

Solid Chinese place for the money. I thought the sushi could be better but hey $ 7.50. What do you expect? Orange chicken and black pepper chicken tastes like mall quality but all you can eat. Very good been twice and will return again when in area for lunch.

The food is really great but the manager is a complete jack rabbit, he is rude and does not have any ounce of respect for his customers…

As the only Asian diner in this restaurant i can definitely say that this has been a truly disappointing generic experience in bland unimaginative Americanized Chinese food. Most Chinese buffets i go to would have at least one or two redeeming qualities. This place is just boring, greasy and sad, like a restaurant that just gave up trying as it sinks into a depressive state leading to its inevitable death. Eat here if you want to watch your soul crumple under the sheer weight of the dour stares of the lifeless employees and food that would best be served to prison inmates.

Have you ever been hit on by a man named JuneBaby, at a buffet, let alone right in front of your boyfriend and his mom?! Ahhhhh. Happened here! He even gave me an awkward side hug, I’m thinking, man you don’t know me. Yikes! OMG. Crazy. I’m sure we will be joking about it for a long time.
Anyway, this place is your standard buffet. Lunch prices are awesome, $ 7.49 even on Saturdays! The food is typical — rice, soup, fried foods, chicken dishes, beef dishes, pork dishes, sushi, hibachi.
Everything was average but the things that stood out were the fried fish (seasoned perfectly), pork dumplings, and their ice cream — they had not just the ice cream cups, but Popsicles and ice cream bars! I’ve never seen that at a buffet.
Place is clean, colorful, and the manager was nice, so were all the wait staff. Pretty good buffet, especially for the price!

Three star food at a five star price = 4 stars. An incredible selection of decent, all-​you-​can-​eat fare for about $ 8 with tax, plus tip. The star of the show is the hibachi, where you pile up your choice of fresh veggies and raw meats and seafood for the chef to cook in front of you on the grill. The rest of the offerings are mostly deep-​fried, swimming in butter, or a mayo/​cream-​based sauce.
Once you see what you’re getting for your money, the signs upfront that they can demand proof of your child’s age start to make sense. The margins they’re running on have to be super thin.

Standard Chinese buffet. Pretty fresh, great selection to choose from. There’s not much else to say about this place. As with any buffet, it’s just that. A buffet.

I loved the food. There was a wide variety of Asian and American favorite dishes. I am very picky when it comes to fried rice. They made it right though! Some Asian restaurants will try to pour soy sauce on white rice then call it fried rice but this restaraunt served the official version. I left a happy customer and will definitely return if a craving hits.

THE BEST BUFFET PLACE SINCE HORNET HORN! (real DC folks will remember what I’m talkn bout lol) I have been several times and I have never been disappointed when it came to having many choices to choose from &the prices are great no matter what time of day you go. Definitely take the family or your staff :-)

This place is always clean, they make sure your glass is never empty and they have a big varieties of food to eat and their food taste great price is great

By far one of the best bang for your buck buffets I have ever been too. It was inexpensive at about $ 11 a person for a dinner buffet which included wide varieties of sushi, hibachi grill, various Chinese entrees and a huge salad bar with fresh vegetables and fruit. Great!!!

Great food, big space great for groups, affordable price.
Bad: im ordering the same food for to go but everytime the price changes

This is by far the best buffet I’ve ever been to. EVER. And my family was very big on buffets when I was a kid, so that’s actually saying something.
First off, the price is pretty reasonable per person. Second, talk about OPTIONS. They have everything from a fresh fruit bar (all with perfectly ripe and ready fruit), to a salad bar, to at least 5 kinds of chicken, ribs, shrimp, etc. The sushi and hibachi bar (with all kinds of veggies and proteins) are also included. The variety is simply astounding! There are too many great items to list them all, but my favorites included the dumplings, stir fry from the hibachi, garlic shrimp, and cookies. I only had a few things that didn’t stack up, which included the salt and pepper shrimp (the flavor was all on the outside and the inside was goopy) and the ginger lobster (again, a very weird texture that was too mushy). They even have an option to get takeout (which apparently is charged by weight). I wish I lived closer so I could take advantage of that.
All and all, I can’t believe I LOVED a buffet this much! Seriously, try it out!

Nice space! I didn’t feel like we was Too close to others as I have felt in other buffet places! The foot was good not everything in which is to be in expected in a «buffet place» we came in right before closing on New Year’s Eve so food may even be better if we had came earlier! Me and family LOVED the facts of having our steak, shrimp etc cooked right before us! Plenty of selections! Tab ran a little over $ 50 for 4 people with drinks, waiter was attentive and kept our drinks full!!! I think they have a bar also! The décor was pretty! I definitely will be back!

Three words: So. Much. Food.
I come here to meet up with my family for dinner every few months. I always leave feeling stuffed, because there are so many options! The food is always fresh. My favorite part is the sushi buffet bar! I recommend, especially if you have a large dinner party full of picky eaters.

So I checked this spot out for the first time yesterday. I was amazed when I walked in at the cleanliness and decorative ambiance this place has. The staff was very friendly and attentive. There was plenty of food choices that will appeal to everyone. They even offer a hibachi bar and sushi bar. Drinks are not included in the buffet price. I am use to it being included at other restaurants but overall it was great dining experience.

I stopped by here to get take out food for my parents. Always a good selection of food especially shrimp. They can weigh your food by the pound and they even have sushi and dessert if you want. Its more economical than buying separate
Chinese dishes from a restaurant.

This is a Chinese food buffet, if you’re expecting more than that you’re in the wrong place. With that said I was pleasantly surprised by the flashy décor of the place. It hasn’t been open long and this shows through in the bright blue lights, un-​smudged mirrors, and striking pillars within the building.
That’s about all that is good about Flaming Grill.
Each plate I had was like Russian roulette. It was a ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ chance that it would be good and/​or distinguishable. I didn’t rely heavily on the food labels above the food as I saw a few liberties being taken with their names (were they guessing too if it was an egg roll or french fries?). Not to mention 80% of the food was dripping in grease or sauce.
My excitement faded when I got up close and personal with the «sushi» bar. While it did have sushi — it was old frighteningly old (the avocado was brown and the rice was hard), and I had no idea what was what, or what it suppose to be, as there weren’t any labels at all.
There was a fresh hibachi style meat that you could have cooked for you. And I would’ve partook in that experience had the «fresh» meats available not been still stacked with the frozen paper separating them. And right next to a see-​through top deep freezer showing where the meat was being taken from. This is a rookie mistake.
The only saving grace about the Grill buffet was the snow crab legs (labeled as «Blue Crabs») of which I had 3 platefuls of, seeing as how I hadn’t eaten anything else on the buffet.
All in all, I would say don’t waste your time. Stay home, order in your favorite Chinese delivery and splurge a little on something you usually don’t get. Because everything at the buffet you’ve had before and more than likely have had it better.
