Avoid this place. The service was already disappointing, but what stood out more was how they handle billing. They added a 2.99% "service fee" to my transaction, and their posted notice clearly states that this fee applies to both credit and debit cards. That's where the issue is--debit card transactions are not supposed to be surcharged under card network rules. Their sign even tells customers to avoid the fee by paying cash, which confirms this is being applied broadly to all card payments. When I brought this to their attention, it was dismissed without any effort to explain or correct it. Transparency matters. If a business is going to add fees, they should at least follow the rules and clearly apply them correctly. If you decide to eat here, I would strongly recommend: * Paying cash * Or carefully reviewing your receipt before leaving I've also shared this concern with consumer protection and card network compliance teams so it can be properly reviewed. read more

The food was not the best buffet I've had, might actually be the worst I've had. The biggest complaint I have is the guy cooking my hibachi burnt my food and was talking on his phone the whole time. Nothing really had any flavor. read more

Buffet Palace is the most impressive Chinese buffet in Tulsa. So many food options and selections out of all the buffets. If I want Chinese buffet, I would go here over anywhere else. I came on a Monday night and the restaurant was not too busy. The food was in abundance, mostly fresh. Some dishes have been out for a while such as the green beans and the mussels. Some dishes tasted great while others missed the mark. The hot & sour soup tasted neither hot nor sour. The egg drop soup was a little salty. The spicy seafood soup was the best of the soups. Steamed fish was great so were their fresh fruits and vegetables. The restaurant looks nice with a good layout, seatings around the buffet area. It's very spacious and comfy. Service wasn't the best but passable. Buffet palace is truly the best Chinese buffet in Tulsa. read more

Went to the bathroom and watched a dude leave the stall and not washed his hands. left the bathroom and saw the same guy walk back into the kitchen. Absolutely foul. Will never be going baxk read more

1. Service was horrible. We were paying. I was waiting for my husband. The host took off without us, then can back and said he told us to follow him, so he now just points and says "it's the one over there". Then a lady brings our drinks and I asked if we just go help ourselves because it was our first time there. She stuttered and said "no English", Right after that she was chatting up another table IN ENGLISH! 2. The food was next to horrible. I tried a lot of different dishes and all I found that was tasty was the watermelon.! All the meats were extremely overcooked and tough, and the sea food dishes were VERY FISHY. The smell was overwhelming. One shrimp dish had whole shrimp in a sauce, very messy, but then you had to peel it and it still had the head on it! Nasty! My husband says the French fries were good...at a Chinese buffet. We'll never go back. I felt sick all afternoon. read more

Waiting too long for the food, I come for crawfish but is out . And the foods not good like last time.

Mostly all the food was fried and unhealthy and place was dirty and service was terrible.

If you're looking for a Chinese buffet that knocks it out of the park, look no further! From the moment we walked in, the staff was welcoming, the dining area was clean and inviting, and the smell coming from the buffet was enough to make your mouth water. The food? Absolutely amazing. Everything was fresh, hot, and constantly refilled. The variety was incredible from the classic favorites like to general tso's chicken and Mongolian beef to made to order hibachi grill and fresh sushi bar. Even the dessert table was a win (don't skip the fried donuts and soft serve ice cream!) read more

Pleasantly surprised! Ample food, constantly being filled at lunchtime. Buffet at lunch is $11.99. This includes a Mongolian grill, 3 hot buffet islands, a salad island and a dessert table. Service was good, food was good, and great price. I can't eat bird, but there were several options for me, on top of the salad, fruit, and desserts! Yes it's dark, yes the building looks old, but it was packed at lunchtime with workers...a good indication of good food at a fair price read more

My husband and used to come here often due to convenience. First time I tried it was decent for the no wait time and food was changed regularly the last year we've tried at least 4 times trying to give them chance after chance to prove it was just a bad night the last time was about a month ago I actually had to ask for refund the manager was very polite and as I showed them the rock hard eggrolls and dry paper-like chicken on the stick that was enough for them to say they had no idea that the food was that bad and blamed it on the kitchen. Said it was just a bad night and the cooks weren't paying attention but I think if you want something done you gotta do it yourself. The cooks should be cooking not checking the food quality every 30 minutes or so. We've gone at 4pm trying to beat the dinner crowd and still was bad decided to go later next time thinking the food would be fresh and it was worse. Save your time and money. read more

Be curious and try lots of different options. Some of the foods were bland or tough like the bbq pork. Some food items are mislabeled (labeled as steak but was some kind of apple roll). I really liked the stuffed mushrooms, cheese wontons, and grilled chicken. The sushi was ok, a little bland. We didn't try the hibachi option. The mango jello was wonderful. We were two adults and 10 & 12 year old boys. Cost $50 with drinks. Good, fast choice while on the road and got us out of the car and everyone ate what appealed to them. Great service. read more

My wife and I have decided that we really like this restaurant. We've been there during the week as well as weekends. We've been for dinner and for lunch. Every time we go, the food is fresh, hot, and they have a large variety of items. They also have a hibachi bar and the hibachi is really really good. They also have sushi, which is good. They have crawfish and a lot of seafood offerings. They have really good potsticker dumplings. All of their food is exceptional. They have black pepper chicken with jalapeños on the buffet, which is really good also. This is the best Chinese buffet that we've been to Oklahoma. They are constantly going out and changing out the serving utensils to keep them clean, and they are continually bringing out a new food to the buffet If you get there before 3:30 PM, it still considered the lunch buffet. I believe it's $11.99; whereas the dinner buffet is $13.99. The lunch buffet does not have crawfish on it, but everything else is there. read more

Food is pretty dang good, not super duper write home to mom about but Good. Everything I ate was fresh and tasty about what I expected when I came in, I did not leave a tip because I never leave a tip at a pay before entering buffet! read more

Buffet Palace - Dessert - Chinese Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

You have to pay before your seated and all of the food was old or oily literally nothing tasted good staff was friendly at least; wish you could see buffet before paying if I could give it a 0 I would do not eat here just go down the street for fresh Asian food, might I add 98% of the buffet is a mystery no labels. I'm allergic to seafood so I had to avoid a lot. Also like to say all of the rice was hard and dried out read more

So, yesterday afternoon about 4:30, a friend invited me to eat dinner here. I very much enjoy Asian Buffets, the vast overall selection and each restaurant's twist on favorite items. I expected a fun evening. Lol, first, after paying, we asked the guy at the register what was best and he said "I don't eat here". Hmmmm, a lady walked us to a table, I asked what her favorite dish here was, to which she replied "I don't eat here ". We should have demanded a refund at that point - by the way, there is a reason you must pay first. First plate I selected some lshrimp, some chicken wings, dumplings, low mein - none of it was to write to mom about. Second plate spring rolls, egg rolls, sweet/sour chicken and a bit of pepper chicken - repeated results except the pepper chicken was okay. Chicken wasn't great but good enough (certainly by comparison of other previously selected items) that on plat three I picked a bit more of this and some mushroom chicken and broccoli beef. How can this place stay in business? Seriously, one item out of ten was palatable. Anyway, got home about 5:45 - at 9:30 my stomach begins rumbling, barely make it to tge bathroom, diarrhea hits... ok, go lay down and within seconds back to the bathroom - 20 minutes later I'm grabbing a trash can and heading to the bathroom again - these later two activities repeat about six more times until 1:30 or 2:00 am - although vomiting ceases, stomach doesn't settle until about noon. Epic fail! Not sure it was food poisoning nor from this place but having been my experience, coincidences are rare. Want a buffet to remember - come here! Want that memory to be positive, find another place, please! read more

The food is really good and fresh. Nice selection of sushi and even Mongolian hibachi grill. Best buffet in Tulsa! read more

Came here for Christmas dinner & the vibe was right. Food smacked - kept fresh, lots of options. Sushi bar was delicious. I made ceviche as well... Needed my $20 worth lol. Very friendly staff & consistently tending tables' for drinks. Christmas was PACKED but not wild. First time in a while that I've been to a buffet & I don't wake up with a belly ache the next day. Will be coming back! Broccoli Beef read more

Very well maintained environment, Although food service was very under the water. Felt incredibly nauseous after leaving. Very strong spoiled shellfish smell indoors makes it very unappetizing. read more

This place was really disgusting, food wasn't in the right place, the bathrooms were really bad, my family got food poisoning from this place. I walked into the bathroom and there was carvings on the stall door, garbage everywhere, wires hanging down from the ceiling and the mirror looked like it came from a broken down shack. The walls are not done and saw mold coming out of them. There was lightbulbs on the lights that were dead and burnt out and cobwebs everywhere. The sushi tasted like it came out of a baby's butt and it was falling apart on the display. The floor was disgusting and not swept and there was random egg rolls on the counters/shelves. Only reason I gave this place 1 star was because of the service and even then it wasn't the best but it wasn't bad. read more

New buffets get me excited, not gonna lie. When I heard this place was new and actually DECENT from someone who's food taste I trust, I was even more excited. However, this ended up being another disappointing Chinese buffet. What REALLY excited me about this place was how there was SUSHI included - and decent sushi I heard. When I went for dinner on a Saturday night, the sushi selection was lackluster. It was good, but the sushi chef didn't use fresh fish. It was all imitation crab meat/an imitation crab meat mixture. The food on the buffet was good, but pretty much like any other Chinese buffet. Nothing really stood out as "the BEST ____ in Tulsa." One plus, though, was their ice cream machine!!! The ice cream was actually decently solid, unlike most other buffets that have ice cream with a diarrhea-type consistency. Service kinda sucked. Our waiter was good at picking up the used plates, but water cups were left empty until I had to flag him down to refill them. There are definitely better buffets out there, but I admit the price was nice - around $7 for lunch and $10 for dinner, if I remember correctly. read more

Buffet Palace - Sushi is decent, Mong grill is good - Chinese Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

My husband and I were craving Asian food so we decided to give this place a chance. The parking lot was busy so we thought ok it must be pretty good. I was soooooooo disappointed. The first thing I tried was honey chicken because how do you screw up honey chicken but nope it was awful and the rice was so bad a little bit sitting at the next table spit it out and told his parents he couldn't eat it. Kids are honest and he was correct, the rice was horrible! Tried the sushi and galbi ribs and neither of them had any taste to them so I was done. We won't be back. read more

Food was fresh and tasty. Staff was very nice. Bourbon chicken is really good. Salad bar had fresh fruit.

One of the best buffets in town, large variety of dishes. The Hibachi is one of the best I have ever had. The sushi is lame. No depth and no flavor, also no real sushi, k-rab and strawberries on rice. Don't eat the seafood. Cooked to death. But the mushrooms are all fresh and well cooked and all the non-seafood meats are pretty good. Great desserts and salads as well. read more

Oh it's just bad. Very the shrimp was just off. Pretty sure the sausage was off. The rice I'm very certain was minute rice. Oh if your pay by card they charge a 3.5% "Convenience" fee. Hope there practices get better has potential but you can't win anything with product going bad. read more

You go to any Chinese buffet with certain expectations; so it is with those expectations that I give this place two stars. Biggest reason is the overall taste of the food. It's just not there. The point of a buffet is you try a number of different items and eventually you'll find enough items you like. Not so much here. Basically underwhelmed by everything on the buffet save the green beans. The bathrooms could definitely be cleaner. Bottom line you can fill up easily for a reasonable price but it's really not that great. read more

Yes it was clean the food was good! And service was good too!! Will go back again easy to find and park!

This place was so good! Everything I tried was excellent. Well seasoned, good sushi, fresh food. The staff were very attentive. The stuffed mushrooms, crawfish, sushi, baby octopus, squid, bourbon chicken were great. Great experience coupled with great food and very reasonable price. Watch out for potholes in the parking lot. Not many, just big. read more

the food was nasty and chicken was hard. the biscuits you could play hockey with. the fries were hard and nasty. the ice cream was nasty and looked old. we will never eat there again. we paid a lot for shitty food. one of the workers had slippers on that was on duty that's real business like. you guys just lost my business. never again I don't recommend this place unless you want to eat hard food that has sit there for awhile. Golden Corral is much better and they actually care about their customers unlike this nasty place. the place sucks and I said it on the receipt for them all to see. my brother said they can suck a bag of ***** read more

I travel extensively and seek out these Hibachi grills. I don't do buffets because I prefer to select my own items and have them cooked. I rarely add meat, chicken or shrimp, so my concoction is all veggies. Limited selection of sushi and California rolls, but the rolls here were slightly above average. No spicy Tuna rolls, but not bad quality. Lots of good looking buffet items. The stuffed shrimp were very good, as were the sauteed green beans and spring rolls. Those were the only buffet items I tried. The Hibachi cook hit a home run. Lots of sauce selections, and he explained them all. The veggies were perfectly cooked in a delicious combo of garlic, oil and Mongolian sauce. Server was very attentive. Excellent service. Music was pleasant. Most of these places play terrible music. Great experience. read more

The food was luke warm at best Appeared to have been on buffet since they opened and turned down after lunch and then turned back up for dinner. The soup was luke warm also. Chicken wings were dry. The shrimp was slimy. The ribs were good would have been better if they were hot. The boiled shrimp was cold as it should have been. I informed the cashier of the problems all she could do was touch the sides of the buffet and say it was temp. was hotter than required. She should have checked the temps, which was too much trouble or she didn't know how. I guess I was lucky not getting sick yet !!! What makes me mad I tipped on my credit card and they never refilled my drink. They charged almost 20.00 for this crap which wasn't worth 10.00. I went there at 4:30 pm when every thing should have been fresh. I would not feed this slop to my dogs, Avoid this place it has went down hill. read more

I had this for lunch today and for the price it's okay. This was my second time to eat here and I admit this was a way better experience from my first trip the week it opened a couple years ago. The staff was super friendly and it was clean. The selection and flavors for me were a bit underwhelimg. I've had better Asian style buffet in Tulsa in a couple different places. It didn't speak to my taste buds but if you've never been it may certainly suit yours! read more

My fiance and I both love Chinese food and we was finally able to have lunch together and we picked this place and it was horrible. Walking up to the front door there is a smell of rotten catfish which turned my stomach , but we went in anyway, paid for the buffet and the food had weird flavors , like didn't taste like it should've and so we didn't eat very much. Was very disappointed and upset that we paid that much for nasty food. Will never eat there again and will tell everyone we know not to eat there either. read more

Something happened here about a year and a half ago the food is sooo bad but I keep trying it thinking it will change but today was it....I quit. The food is so dry and tough, no sauce , no seasoning. 2 years ago it was the best in town, no more!! read more

I don't normally write reviews, but I had to for this place. The food here was terrible. The pudding was sour the ice cream was grainy, crab was brittle(got bits of shell in every bite), the stuffed shrimp tasted like vomit, and even the pears had started to ferment. Nothing tasted good. We made a complaint to the manager, but they would not give us a full refund. Only after talking for a while, amid the manager ignoring us to ring up new customers would she refund $20(out of $55), claiming we were there for too long. We stayed for a while because we were trying to find something edible. This was the worst food and service I have ever experienced read more

It was okay with enough items to choose from. It was clean and the staff kept busy doing their job. I didn't see any slackers. Forget the desserts. read more

I have lost hope in Tulsa's buffet restaurant after the pandemic, every buffet place I go to have went downhill. We decided on trying this new place and my expectation wasn't high. After trying the first dish, my mind was blown, the foods are fresh, juicy, and not bland at all. All the foods I've try tonight have been good overall except for about 2-3 foods that's ehh. Totally will come back. read more
