    Hot Food
    Jando S.

    This is a tough one. I appreciate a good buffet like any glutton, but the food and service here at Asian Buffet could use a lot of work. Most buffets, especially Chinese ones are less likely to make either a priority, but typically the food quantity, group friendly atmosphere, and affordable prices tend trump all. That seems to be the case here at the literal-termed Asian Buffet. Sadly, a buffet is usually only as good as its food. I realize most buffets like this aren't gunning for high quality anything, but it was difficult to appreciate much of the hot food fare because so much of it was either too salty, too overcooked, or something was off. Much of this is standard Americanized Chinese fare, which works well I suppose for this neck of the woods, but would be subject to doomsday in any major Asian community. I would also venture for them to stop calling their noodle soup "pho" when it's clearly just a noodle soup with broth. The sushi was definitely the least appealing of the bunch. There were a number of rolls out there, not so much on the nigiri side or handroll action, but they were all strange in design and funky to the core. A lot of imitation crab and such, but this is nothing new for places like this. I think the only semi-saving grace on a food scale was the hibachi. Customize one's (semi-frozen) meats with noodles / rice, peppers, with a smattering of soy sauce. sesame oil, and veggies was surprisingly okay. Every table has sriracha bottles and the plastic cups are the oversized ones that hold a ton of liquid. I can appreciate their setup and layout, but I've seen better execution on the food front in other similarly themed places. Fingers crossed they bump it up a notch.

    If you're familiar with the Grand China Buffet in Omaha off of Dodge and 118th, then Asian Buffet will be no different for you. Same owners and host Simon, who has traveled to the new Lincoln store to help with the opening for a while. As you can see, I have frequented the Omaha location pretty frequently... I can recognize Simon! (The Asian parents love the all you can eat clams, crab, and crawfish...we end up here a lot) Since a lot of our family and friends from Lincoln would drive all the way to Omaha for the buffet, it's going to be very convenient for all the Asians in Lincoln to now get their seafood fix right in town. At $14/person for adults and $8 for kids, its a pretty good deal to eat all the mussels, crawfish, crab legs, and clams you want. It would cost more than that to buy it from the store and prepare it yourself. As for the other foods there, there is slightly less selection in comparison to the Omaha location, I think mainly due to space constraints. Most all of the American-Chinese favorites are still available. Quick service in clearing plates, having fresh food available at all times, and refilling the crab (most important ;) ). It's a huge step up from the previous asian buffet tenant.

    Yummy authentic chinese buffet in Lincoln, NE. We really enjoyed the noodle soup option the restaurant offered (udon & pho)! The soup base was very good as well! In addition to all the choices of delicious dish they offered, the servers and stuff were very friendly. Will return for sure and highly recommend trying this restaurant.

    Absolutely love this place I stop every time I'm in Lincoln never had a bad experience food is always hot and delicious wait staff is friendly and the prices are decent

    All the food is always steaming hot!

    Great buffet. Quality cooking for a buffet! You couldn't even tell it was mass produced. The green beans were nice and crunchy, hot & sour soup had the perfect amount of spice, & the spicy shrimp & zucchini was just as flavorful. The employees are always refilling the food and the selection is always steaming piping hot. Nothing seemed under or over cooked which is rarely found at a buffet place. Good job Nebraska, I'm thoroughly impressed!

    Food was great. They did not honor their own coupons off of their website. Very disappointing and reason enough for me not to return.

    I. Love. The. Oven. I get the same order every time, and I…read moremight be biased, but I think it's the best order out there. I always get the spinach bread, which is naan-stuffed with paneer and spinach, and is so soft and melt in your mouth delicious. I dream about the naan. Then for my main, I get the lamb bhuna with the soup on the side. I've tried a few other main courses and I honestly think the Lamb bhuna is the most flavorful thing on the menu, and a spiced so well. The mint chutney that they have to dip with the naan is also so good. I could probably drink it. I crave the oven so often. It's definitely a very busy restaurant so I would recommend making a reservation beforehand, otherwise you'll probably be waiting a pretty long time! The patio Haymarket location is super nice when the weather is good.

    I will come back and try some more dishes. For starters the stuffed naan was excellent. I asked if…read morethey could mix the tikka and spinach and artichoke combined to one stuffed naan. Everybody at the table loved it. The soup starter wasn't my favorite it didn't have much flavor to it but if you squeeze the lemon in it gets tolerable. Too much soup though. The chicken bunha was probably the best dish forgot to take a photo. Pretty strong onion flavor. The chicken tikka Marsala although good with the right amount of spice was a little different than I was used to. Overall will be back to try again.

We made our plates and sauce dishes for the grill and had them cooked. Returning to the table the drinks and dumplings arrived, along with the steamed rice. the dumplings were ok, definitely from frozen. Our main dishes lacked the flavor we had put in the sauce bowls. I think too much water was applied to the food during cooking washing out the flavor.

Sushi wasn't rolled very prettily. But the tuna was big rice proportion wasn't correct but hey, im grateful for a bigger piece of raw tuna. The dumplings were crispy. And edamame was delicious. The salmon was perfect and just nice and not dry. Its a family restaurant. A lot of pple come in for meals. They also have a portion for Mongolian grill. You will just order that and go up to the counter to pick your protein and vegetables and sauces. They will cook it for you. Casual ambiance They also have a variety of seating available. Pretty large place with a lot of parking lots. Will be back!
