Feb 18 2026: I told you I eat here almost weekly. Stopped for glasses in shop near 88 Buffett. Had to go in for a quick lunch. see also Monty & Dave reviews 2026 below. Wonton soup is excellent! Hibachi grill for $2 is fabulous. Hugh desert area. And all so fresh & clean. Many of my co -workers from REDSTONE would come here for lunch parties when I was working 13 years ago! My kauai HI girl craves her SUSHI area. She says just the Shusi would cost you $23 any where else. read more

I have to say I was very impressed by both the quality of food and variety of choices. Everything was fresh, especially the seafood. Both the chicken and red meat options were incredible. No complaints and I'm not sure why this gets a 3, definitely a 5 star favorite in my book. read more

88 Buffet - Buffet options - Chinese Near Me - Huntsville, Alabama

We were greeted and immediately sat. We went up to the buffet and as I came back they were seating someone else at our table. I questioned them and they quickly corrected their "mistake". One individual took a set of our silverware that I caught and he looked sheepish. I had them reset our table so my wife had a place to eat. The food was mediocre and they even had ribs. The ribs were so dry, they were crunchy. Some of the dishes were good such as the coconut shrimp and even the lo mein. Many of the chicken dishes were passable. The sushi wasn't memerable. read more

Solid buffet. Plenty of variety for everyone. And the prices are excellent. Is the food out of this world? Definitely not. But is it good enough to satisfy a craving and to get a solid bang for your buck? Absolutely. Friendly and swift service. Easy to navigate the buffet tables. Overall, a good experience. read more

New year, new prices... Food is still great. ................. ............ read more

Buffets are hit and miss. While not a miss, this would be a base hit. Atmosphere is good. Service is good. Food is plentiful and varied. Hot soup on a rainy day is always good. But. Some of the hot food was cool. And some of the other hot food tasted a little burnt. This place has a lot to offer, but the sushi was lacking. A friend once said, you don't get sushi at a Chinese buffet. This is true here. All in all this place is good for the price. Would I come back? Yes. There is nothing here that would prevent me. I'd actually give this 3.5. Room for improvement, but not enough to keep me away. read more

We went to 88 Buffet today instead of Big Bowl Thai next door (due to Big Bowl Thai only doing take out after 2:30?). The food was good for buffet food, although some of it looked and tasted questionable. The dessert bar was really nice for a buffet, they offer a lot of options. We didn't try it, but they also offer a make your own hibachi! They offer lots of variety's of meats, sides, and sushi. The sushi was eh, but it's all you can eat. The service was okay, they kept our glasses full. But while we were still eating (my husband still was getting another plate and a dessert plate) the server came by with the check and told us to have a great day which we thought was odd. We continued to eat, and they continued to fill our glasses after that so we ignored it but now we see a couple reviews mentioning it so we thought we would as well. Overall it was a good buffet. read more

Very good for a buffet and close to the place I was staying. Will be back again. I don't like adding comments if they are not needed. read more

Double billed me on a $110 check; I gave a good tip, not that good. Mediocre food, overdone, leathery because it sat too long. Lots of carbs, not a lot of healthy options. Fair Mongolian bbq, they call it hibachi. Its not hibachi. Decent hot tea. read more

Typical Buffet.. I'm from Maine and I'm particular about clean seafood and this place does not have the cleanest shrimp in the world but if you know what your doing only takes a few seconds two of us each got 1 drink and lunch buffet and the total was $30.50 $35 with a tip read more

The buffet was good. The asian options are okay for the cheap buffet price. The ambiance is also good, and very busy. The food not everything tasted good, some were just okay. They have options for you to do teppanyaki style cooking. Overall ambiance is your typical buffet place. The service was also just okay, not very attentive. Parking wise is great with their lot and lots parking options. read more

I went here for the second time within the last year for lunch with some co-workers. The buffet has a variety of food to choose from. They have a salad bar, Mongolian bar, along with sushi. They also offer other food items besides Chinese such as pizza, mac and cheese, and a few other things. They do have a nice selection of various Chinese items and every thing I tried was good. My co-worker raves about the coconut shrimp they have and how he can eat is weight in it. Unfortunately they didn't have it for me to try on the Friday I went. I did try the salt and pepper chicken and I really liked it. I have not had it before. The lady serving us did always make sure we had drinks and asked if we needed anything else, so she did a good job. The restaurant is pretty large and was crowded, but the noise was not overbearing for a ton of people. With a soda and the buffet I paid a little under $16 with tax. Not too bad for the spread you can choose from. I'll be back! read more

Thank you for opening on Christmas day! We had a great meal and very good service considering how packed you were.

Food was good, the variety is excellent and the service was great. The place is clean and organized. I will definitely recommend family and friends. read more

The staff and management is very rude and discriminatory. They like to charge people dinner price for lunch buffet. I warn people before you go to this restaurant that you will be overcharged even if you were paying attention to the time you come in make sure you take a picture because they'll swear you came in later than you did.The waitress didn't not want to give us plastic silverware. They brought the check before we could even get our dessert because they knew they had plan to charge us dinner price for lunch time. The Manager Tammy was very confrontational and wanted to cause a scene because she wanted to charge us dinner price for a lunch buffet. She proceeded to harass us as we try to pay and refuse payment. And then she came outside to harass us further when we left payment on the table and decided to leave the restaurant because the environment was too toxic. We waited for the police and when they showed up, they could see that she refused payment and they had to make her accept the payment and we didn't even get to finish our meal. I give this place a one star only because I wanted to tell the public how they are but they deserve zero stars. She accosted us and brought a male co-worker out there to get confrontational as well and I was with my mother and my handicap brother. We were even double billed in front of the police. I was trying to take my mom out for her birthday. I already told them I will not be back ever again this is the height of disrespect. I warn people please beware of this place. Some people want your money but do not want to give you respect. read more

Honestly, not a bad buffet. Wide selection of food and I want to say most of it is quite good. I didn't have much of the seafood when I went because I'm cautious around them but some of my friends did and they enjoyed the crawfish and Cajun seafood. Went for dinner and it cost about $17 per person. I personally enjoyed the fried shrimp and salt and pepper chicken selections. Also, don't forget the soft serve machine as well! I took one to go in a cone! read more

Not a big fan of buffet since I end up eating more than I should but my coworker wanted to try them out. They constantly replenish the food once it gets almost low so you will get fresh food. I try to stick to more seafood. I didn't care much for the cold crawfish, not sure why they had to put ice on top of it. They also had saute crawfish, corn and good size shrimp in another section. I tried both the sweet and sour soup and the egg drop soup. My favorite is the sweet n sour soup, it was full of flavors. The hibachi was good but a little bit bland even though I asked for sauce on it. Luckily there is a bottle of soy sauce and Sriracha at the table. I also had the salt n pepper shrimp which was delicious. Our waitress was really good at getting our old plate and always stopping to check on us even when they were so busy. read more

Great food seat was in bk nobody in big room2 customers. Why alot of seat look available IJS

Found a worm in my salad when I first started coming here. I have pics. I decided to give them another chance. Actually went here a lot. I came here on or around December 1 2023 & ended up with food poisoning. Won't be back! read more

We will definitely be back again! The girls at the front were friendly and were able to get our large church group seated rather quickly. The food was all hot and delicious. I especially loved the food I had gotten cooked on the grill. Heads up though they do charge 12% to large parties which our waitress explained to us when she handed out our checks. Speaking of our waitress... Catherine was the BEST waitress we have ever had! She was always smiling and joking around with our whole table and our drinks were never empty. Everyone loved her so much a few of us plan on coming again soon for lunch just to see her again. The one downside is that the toilets in the bathroom didn't seem to be flushing. But overall I would definitely recommend 88 for big groups. read more

This place is awesome ! Great food and great service ! Honestly this is the best I've ever seen for such a large variety of the most delicious entrées ! If you've been wondering about 88 Buffet wonder no more because I'm telling you now you need to try it yourself. read more

Go to ANOTHER BUFFETT WHERE THE FOOD IS WAY BETTER!!! Wish I could give y'all Zero stars.. Just nasty read more

88 Buffet - Nasty chicken wing - Chinese Near Me - Huntsville, Alabama

The food was over cooked and way too hard and others were leathery. The rice tastes like cardboard and it's hard for a Chinese place to fumble RICE ! Drinks only refilled once and they have smaller cups , so we could have used at least 2-3 more refills. Waitress was very happy to bring us our check yet thats pretty much the only time she seemed happy to serve us. Me and my family came to the conclusion that the best part was the canned pineapple and fortune cookies. The atmosphere was probably the only good thing about this place and that's being considerate. They do keep the bars wiped and clean in the buffet area. I'd give cleanliness alone a 2/5 stars ,but that doesn't make up for the food nor service by far . read more

Not sure why, but the food all tastes like the made it bad on purpose. Some stuff was decent. Overall, good buffet for the price.

Ok. Just a reminder, this is a review of a Chinese buffet. The stars are in comparison to "other" Chinese buffets (not on the same scale as Morton's Steakhouse). I give this place 4 stars bc: 1) selection, 2) service, 3) cleanliness, 4) didn't get sick. Now for the down & dirty: hibachi (yum), hubby had the sushi & liked it AND didn't get sick, the different chicken dishes tasted different, the fried squid was yummy, the cold squid was yummy, crab rangoon has hints of crab, kim chi was good. All in all, it was tasty; it didn't all taste the same. There were so many options including crawfish, squid, etc. Peel-n-eat shrimp were mushy (like most buffets) & hubby said the ice cream was average. BUT, compared to others, for $15 pp, it was a good meal with great service & fun to people watch!! (Lots of people coming in & out. The staff refreshed the food often). read more

Walking in is breath taking! They had so many options and a nice amount of space for the busy place to not seem so crowded! They had so many options. The hibachi station was my favorite for sure but I hate that it didn't have any type of seasoning. Also my cup came with onions on it for some odd reason so I asked for a paper cup instead. Overall my experience here was great. read more

Average food lots of noise not somewhere to go if you need privacy or quiet atmosphere.

Big, plentiful, some foods are ok. Reportedly they're owned and operated by people from Wenzhou - as the joke goes, Wenzhou, a port and an industrial city in Zhejiang province is the 51st state of United States. Service is ok, so is the bathroom. The peanut cluster is good: not sweet. It's my second time there. Can't say I won't return - if my family members take me there, I'll go but I won't go on my own will. read more

So my now fiancée took me here on our first date. I loved it. Great food, friendly people. It's still my favorite place to eat. So much that when he decided to ask me to marry him he did it here. This place will all ways hold a special place in my heart. read more

Food is good, especially if you can catch it when it's fresh. Service is always friendly, but not overbearing. The to-go pricing is a great value. read more

I went to 88 Buffet with some coworkers for a lunch break and what I was expected to be a quick lunch turned into a huge feast. Admittedly, with the variety and amount of food at 88 Buffet you can definitely get your money's worth. However, I do think they need to work on their appearance and cleanliness if they want to keep me coming back. The hot food was mostly what expected from a Chinese-style buffet: good chicken, beefs, porks and other styles. They also had pretty decent sushi, as much as you want, and also a hibachi bar with some good options. Service was pretty much good, but also being a buffet there isn't too much needed. I did hear about their reputation for cleanliness afterward, and noticed that their current rating is 77 with the state. If that doesn't bother you, and if you're looking for all you can eat under $10, it might be worth giving it a shot. read more

Nothing was very good. Won ton soup was bland and doughy. Egg roll just tasted bad. Peppered chicken was too salty. Chicken wings had an odd taste. Only thing that tasted ok was sesame chicken since it had just came out. I can usually find ssinething good at a buffet but not this time. It makes me wonder if they even taste their own food.... read more

If I could give this restaurant 0 stars I certainly would. My family and I ate there on 7/5, and that same evening we became very ill. We were nauseous, throwing up, etc. That went on until yesterday afternoon for the rest of my family, and I'm still currently feeling ill. I called the restaurant yesterday (Saturday) to tell them what was going on and to see if there was anything that could be done (refund wise). Well, after explaining everything to the person I spoke to on the phone, I was told "that happened yesterday, and today is a new day). Extremely rude and uncaring and I will be reporting 88 Buffet to the health department. And it goes without saying, but we will never eat there again. read more
