Handicap accessible, easy parking, delicious menu hot and fresh buffet from soups, sushi, entrees of fresh stir fry, pepper shrimp, fried chicken, sautéed vegetables, fried rice, deserts and beverages included plus senior discounts. Booths, tables for large groups, trinkets for sale at check out like tennis shoe key rings and dolls. Friendly staff, casual dining. Warm inside . Been there many times and never disappointed! Just walk in.

I was really skeptical of this place and now I'm a fan. The sushi was high quality for buffet sushi. They also had clams and mussels!!!! Service was fast and refills were prompt. Parking is easy and free. Definitely going here again.

98 Pounds Buffet offers a good value for the price. While buffets can sometimes have lower quality food, 98 Pounds offers tasty dishes at an affordable price point. Keep in mind that dinner costs around $20-$25. Rating : 4.2 / 5.

Been there a few times. Usually food is good. The sushi isn't as impressive as you would hope. Place is normally busy, no reservation needed. Has a decent variety of things. They have good deserts. Servers are good at refilling drinks and taking empty plates on a timely manner. Restaurant is usually always warmer than it should to the point it can be a little uncomfortable. Bathrooms there aren't as good as you would hope. One of the toilet seats there wiggle and feel like you are going to fall off. Atmosphere is family friendly and casual. Overall though not a bad buffet but could be better.

Haven't been to 98 pounds buffet in awhile and it feels good to be back. The food was great and tasted fresh not dried out from sitting for a long time. The crawfish was easy to eat and not dried out from over cooking. The clams were flavorful and not too salty. The salted five spiced shrimp was good but a little hard to peel. Overall, the buffet s has a nice selection even without crab legs and Korean sliced beef. Table service was prompt and place was clean.

Great buffet. They even roll sushi fresh which is awesome. I like the variety they have. It looks fresh and it's delish.

Good chinese/sushi buffet. A little bit more expensive for a chinese buffet, however worth it for the sushi.

The sushi is pretty good for the price, but the Chinese buffet has not been worth it. We generally do takeout sushi from there.

None of the food was great. A few dishes were good but only a few. The sushi was plain and par for a buffet.

A well thought out restaurant, food is buffet style and there are loads of choices. By far the best is the Sushi bar.

There was no sign saying "wait to be seated" or "seat yourself" so we waited by the podium to be greeted. There was a white man seated by the door entrance, waiting for a to go order maybe. We stood by the podium and watched several employees look directly at us from the back of the restaurant (even the men in the kitchen cooking) and ignore us. I mean not one person came to the front of the restaurant while we were standing there. Just stared and carried on. There were 4 women that looked to be servers that came out of the kitchen and seen us at the podium and kept going back to whatever they were doing. you can see in the pic there's a woman folding napkins as we waited. after 4-5 min we walked out because you could almost feel how unwelcome there we were. In 2026??? During Ice raids??? Where many immigrant/minority businesses are struggling.. this is not only my first impression of this place but ALSO wtf?! This is a form of racism & terrible customer service. I get places have language barriers but they have signs for everything else so really no excuses why many of the staff treated us that way. This behavior also tells me everything I need to know about the food as well.... terrible just like the attitude of the staff.

Came here on a Sunday night looking for a bite to eat with my brother. At the door we were greeted…read moreby the owner who spoke very little English (a tell tale sign of some kickass Chinese food). She seated us in a roomy booth and immediately brought us some waters. We ordered a the fried dumplings and the sesame balls. Both were absolutely delectable, best of each I've had in my life. The sesame balls had a crispy sesame coated exterior with a sticky bun interior and sweet bean filling. The fried dumplings were perfectly cooked to delicate perfection and were accompanied by a soy sauce with freshly minced garlic. Those didn't last 2 minutes on the table. We ordered the twice cooked pork and stirfry lamb as entrees and, as other reviews have said, the portions were generous. As for the the meats, they were thinly sliced, tender, and cooked to perfection. The spice level was right on point, not enough to numb your tastebuds but surly will leave you with clear sinuses. The spice contributed significantly to the succulent flavors found in each dish. Each entree comes with a bowl of buttery white rice. As a man of high caloric intake I was very satisfied with this establishment's CPD factor. As a genuine touch, there is heartfelt apology for rising prices due to rising ingredient cost and bird flu found at the bottom of each menu. 10/10 will eat again.

I wanted something spicy Chinese and gave this place a shot. Spoiler alert, it wasn't but I also…read morehave a pretty high tolerance, and we are in Minnesota (no shade). I ordered the Stir Fry Spicy Beef, Mapo Tofu, and the Pork Belly. Everything was tasty and have no complaints as far as the actual flavors. I do think that the Mapo Tofu should always be soft tofu rather than firm, but that's just a personal preference. The beef was plentiful and extra tender and the pork belly was perfectly melt-in-your-mouth, so good that I felt like I had to ration it throughout the next few meals. I do wish it came with more rice. I ordered three sides and only got one box of rice. I was hoping to have at least two so I can eat it for several days. However, to end on a positive note, when I walked in to pick up my order, the woman (owner possibly) was incredibly friendly and spoke Mandarin to me. She was welcoming, funny, and we briefly argued how spicy food should really be for it to be enjoyable. "The spicier the better," me thinks. Come show these guys some love!
