There service is amazing and they have so many different varieties of foods! God bless!

Great food overall! The food here is definitely great--lots of choices and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. You can tell why this place is popular. The service could use a little improvement during busy times, and the ambiance felt a bit crowded, but that's probably because so many people enjoy coming here. Overall, still a very good experience and worth visiting for the food! read more

Honestly, I'm very skeptical about buffets and the quality of food, but this is the first buffet I thoroughly enjoy and all the variety of foods they have to offer. This place is a bit far from central Houston and central north Houston, but it's such a great gem! It gets quite busy but they have a number system where you walk in, check in and get a number, and then you get called. It gets pretty busy but the line goes by fast. Parking is also a bit of a hassle as the lot is very small for the amount of people which is a downside. The Chinese food they have is so so, but the seafood is where it's at. Their crab legs are always so fresh and sweet, and rarely salty. We also love their crawfish as it's full of flavor, fresh, and always piping hot. Their sushi selection is decent and also pretty good quality for buffet sushi. The seafood reminds me of Las Vegas buffet quality. Dessert selection is ok. I just go for the ice cream and some fruit and that's pretty much it. Inside it does get pretty hectic and everything is fast paced, but that's good if you want to eat the most you can in such little time! The servers are always attentive and take away empty plates, refill drinks, and are happy to assist with anything you need. All in all, this is a great bang for your buck if you want a good variety of food with amazingly fresh seafood. read more

Buffetopia - Seafood - Seafood Near Me - Humble, Texas

My oh my, I think I have found my favorite Chinese buffet in the Houston area! My expectations are usually low when it comes to Chinese buffets, but I had heard good things about this place, and after learning that they have snow crab legs, I knew I had to visit! We arrived for dinner on a Sunday evening and were lucky enough to get a spot in the small parking lot. I found it interesting that they offer valet, but I guess due to the size of the small shopping complex, it makes sense that vehicle were being parked in the grass. My primary target of the visit was the seafood! On the top of that list was the snow crabs, crawfish, and sashimi! They also carry fresh raw oysters and boiled shrimp, but I did not try those items. The snow crab legs were ransacked frequently but also refilled frequently, which was nice. The legs weren't dry or overly salted, and a liquid butter dispenser was nearby! It was the same with the crawfish... which tasted very fresh and not frozen. They were also seasoned very well and succulent, not the grey overcooked dried out crawfish you usually find at buffets. The fried whole shrimp was cooked perfectly and tasted fresh. The mixed sashimi was kinda crammed into one small bowl, but the pieces displayed are nice and fresh. I saw that they offered salmon belly nigiri! As for the cooked prepared American Chinese meats, they were actually good! At most Chinese buffets, these dishes are very one note and bland, but here they had a lot of flavor and were cooked well! The most surpassing was the hibachi grill which usually is tasteless and meh at most places. Here it was shockingly delicious! The only real let down was the dessert, which is the standard at a Chinese buffet. The prepackaged mousse cups were not good. The mediocre cheesecake was still frozen in the middle, and the fruit was less than ideal. I didn't even bother trying the ice cream, as it's the cheap kind in the plastic cups. No thank you! The jello wasn't that bad and came in unique flavors. The slushies were actually kinda tasty! So go ahead and visit you're in the area and want to be a total glutton. read more

Best buffet I been to in Texas! Vegas still in the league but this buffet is the best in Texas. Everything I had was seasoned and prepared very well. Super clean, polite service and very affordable. $20 per adult is cheap with full snow crabs, blue crabs, large shrimp, American food, sushi bar, soup bar, dessert bar and so on..... The table curves like three times. lol it just keeps going. The soft drinks are Pepsi products. I'm not a fan but I'm ok with Dr.pepper. The decorations are mixed with Christmas and Chinese new year. Very lit up and kinda gives Tokyo drive vibes. Very pretty and very spacious. read more

There are numerous buffets in Humble, but none are as new or as decorated as Buffetopia. As impressive as the decor is, or as large as the staff is, or as extensive as the seating arrangements are, this is really nothing more than a glorified American Chinese buffet. Some things to know: * On their busiest days, they employ the use of waitlist and numbers are called out in the lobby. It's too bad that they use Chowbus, which is limited and doesn't always deliver real-time status to text. The Yelp waitlist is a much better suited option. (#1) * Weekends are an absolute zoo. Endless crowds and long waits. This might be the first time I've ever seen valet service offered at a buffet. * With customized lighting fixtures, music playing top 40 hits, and a clear theme with loyalty points, this is amongst the most modern buffet setups in the entire city. It's not too dissimilar from soemthing like E-star (#2), minus the super dark theme and robot wait service. * They have the fly fans on each of the buffet items. This is not only smart, but a first in any of the buffet spots I've seen. They appear to be automated and most importantly, working. * Without fail, most people are gunning for seafood in the form of crab legs, crawfish, fried shrimp, oysters, mussels, salmon, and sushi. At $23 for adults, this is rather an excellent deal. What is not excellent however, is the food itself. (#3) * The food presentation might be their best asset. Otherwise, it is a smattering of the same thing found at similar places in other parts of the city. Things such as sloppy mac and cheese, a brutal dim sum section, hockey puck ice cream served in elementary schools, and pizza stacked on top of each other. All that said, the hibachi section was pretty decent with he stir fry and noodle soups. * Many of the waiters are bilingual in Spanish or Mandarin. Given the clientele, the latter is really not necessary. ____________ (#1) No bias here, straight efficiency. (#2) E-Star: https://www.yelp.com/biz/e-star-asian-buffet-houston (#3) This should be the expectation always. read more

For an old school style Chinese buffet, I gotta say this place is super impressive. It was pretty busy even on a weeknight because it really is a good price for a lot of variety. Honestly it ticked all the boxes of things you would want to eat in a buffet- seafood (snow crab legs on weekends, blue crabs, crawfish, shrimp, raw oysters), a sushi section with rolls, sashimi and nigiris, TWO hibachi stations (one stir fry other for noodle soups), fried foods, Chinese American dishes, and a dessert spread including ice cream. But don't expect the same quality as ordering these dishes individually in a restaurant. For what it is and the value, this is a solid buffet place to visit if you have time to kill before a flight or if you're starving after landing. read more

What do you get when you cross a hip hop new buffet place with a tinsy tiny parking lot? Welcome to Buffetopia. I found it hilarious how each establishment vigorously defends their lot spaces. The end tenant Long John Silvers has the most dedicated spaces, and put up hand written signs even to warn would be trespassers, yet still there were no customers in their big empty lot. There is a valet at Buffetopia but hey we are Asian. It was packed around 1 pm on a Sunday when we got there and even more packed around 2:40 pm when we left with the line noticeably out the door. Our waitress was nice and Japanese. The owners are Chinese she said. And the customers were a motley crew of Hispanic )in the clear majority), African Americans (a strong representation), Caucasian (not a lot but more than Asians), and a smidgen of Asians. So we came for the Raw Oysters and sashimi. Every thing else was just filler to us. I made the mistake of trying a few items from the hot buffet line while I waited for them to refill the raw oyster bar and sashimi bowl and it really filled me up. Rookie error. It won't happen again. The main temptation is the deep fried frog legs too, which tasted like chicken. They also got a Hibachi but hey be my guest to that if you're ready to fill up quickly. Deserts were meh. $2 discount if you're over 65 and children and kids get discounts. My child had to pay full price but only had 1 plate. So I felt compelled to make up the money Id be losing on her. I think at the end of the day I broke even. When I used the restroom I saw a moth on the wall. The same kind my dad's store had when it got infested from a contaminated shipment of rice. The worms hatch into these MF's? and it's so hard to get rid of them. Just saying from experience. There's a Totoro Mochi Donut store in this strip center. Alas I was too full to try it. read more

Hello, we'll start by saying that the buffet line was not organized because they had plates situated everywhere so people were starting the line in the middle of nowhere and will jump in front of you. It was so unorganized. I removed the second star because I was seated near a restroom and didn't realize so many people were gonna be going in and out of that door and it made me lose my appetite a little bit. What else? The third star was removed because the food did not taste that delicious. It was like OK and it made me desire more. Plus, I've had better at the buffets in Katy Texas. I went on and removed the fourth star because I felt like the place wasn't as clean as I wanted it to be, my table wasn't as clean. The place didn't smell that fresh to me. I really was hoping to love this place so I can go back a second time, but I can't get over the egg rolls, not tasting as good and the cheese wontons and just other stuff, it just was not that good to me. Anyway, someone may like it, but I'm used to better so this is based off my decision. Thanks for reading my review.! read more

I enjoy their variety of food from crawfish, oysters, wings, frog legs, and salmon. The only thing is the dessert area needs better options. The parking lot area is congested and can be hard to find a spot. read more

Dirty tables and food stations, rude table bussers, overcrowded and the food is not good. My toddler and I were on our way to our table and got shoved out of the way by men trying to get around us because there's hardly any walkway room between tables and people are impatient. Mind you I'm pregnant as well. Bussers were rude and kept slamming dirty buckets of dishes on our table while we were still eating resulting in old food from other people's plates being flung onto our own plates and all over the table. read more

Good Buffet with crab legs for decent price. I came in Saturday evening at 6pm and did not have to wait to be seated. The restaurant is clean and decor nicely. They got quite fresh seafood including snow crab leg, oysters, sushi, sashimi. Other bar has crab, rib, fried items and other rice/noodle/veggie similar to normal Chinese buffet. Dessert was so so. I did not try all food they have. Some food does not have labels. read more

Buffetopia is the mother of all recent buffets. We went on a busy Sunday and I was excited to try them. They do not take reservations but it was super easy to put our party of 10 on the list. We were seated in about 20 minutes, which was amazing for a buffet on a Sunday. Everything is automated and they call your number over the intercom. The place was crowded but you could not tell because it is huge! They have many, many stations with Chinese food, seafood, full sushi section, hot pot and hibachi. There is truly something for everyone. My fave foods were the potstickers and the sesame chicken with fried rice. My son did hibachi and they have so many options. They had plenty of snow crab and cold boiled shrimp but at times they ran low because so many were eating it. I enjoyed the fresh fruit too. The only bad thing is the parking lot is tiny. They solved this problem by offering valet parking, which is complimentary. We didn't wait long at all but did see some people get towed because they parked in the wrong spots. Please use the valet and tip them, they work hard and no worries about losing your car. You can text them to have your car ready and also tip through the app. read more

I love having people visit me, but sometimes when it comes to where to eat, I get a little nervous because I know everyone else has their own preferences! So I'm glad I found this buffet spot that leans more into Asian cuisine! My family truly enjoyed the ambiance, the cleanliness, and the array of different foods to try. A lot of the others eating there went especially crazy over the crawfish, but I'm not really a crawfish gal. I was satisfied with everything else though. Definitely worth checking out when you're in north Houston! read more

Large variety of food -yes. Pretty and good service for a buffet -yes. Would I return- no. Hear me out. I drove 45 mins to get here in the rain. I waited 35 mins for a table behind 30+ other ppl but I will say they move fast. I had to fight for food because so many people were there the food disappeared pretty quickly. The good thing is it gets refilled pretty quickly too. The taste was as good as any other Chinese buffet. I loved all the neon signs and how pretty the restaurant is, but not enough to drive and wait to fight for food again. read more

If there's a bright center to the buffet universe, Buffetopia might just be it. This North Houston outpost shines like a fully operational flavor station, and seafood lovers, prepare for hyperspace-level happiness. From perfectly seasoned crawfish bursting with flavor to oysters and crab that are fresh and plentiful on weekends, this place delivers a feast fit for the Jedi Council (or a hungry Wookiee). The desserts are sweet enough to make any Padawan smile, and the staff keep the dining experience smoother than a Naboo starship. The colorful lighting gives the place an upbeat, almost Cantina-on-Coruscant vibe, bright, fun, and full of life, while the cleanliness and affordability make it feel like you've found a rare gem in the Outer Rim. 9 out of 10 Stars - A dazzling buffet experience where seafood reigns supreme, the Force is flavorful, and the lights shine brighter than a lightsaber duel at dinnertime. read more

I have been waiting for Buffetopia to open and it was definitely worth the wait. Quite a few families walked out seeing a busy restaurant, but I can reassure you the queue system was really helpful managing customer flow. The restaurant layout is also very large and can accommodate anyone that walks through their door. The food was perfectly seasoned and I found myself circling back for Shumai, Nigiris, Seafood Boil, Salt Pepper Crabs, Garlic Potato, and Beef Puff Pastry. I was really eager to try the Hot Pot station but with only one broth option available, it didn't feel like a true Hot Pot experience. I would love to see a variation of broths being offered in the future. The staff was attentive, fulfilling drinks and removing dirty plates without being overbearing. All you can eat for $20 might seem steep, but prices for buffets has steadily increased over the years. The freshness of the ingredients and the inviting atmosphere has earned Buffetopia its spot in Humble. read more

Buffetopia is not your simple Chinese buffet. They have livened up the atmosphere, added some amazing dishes and great customer service to the scene. Upon entering you're met by the hostess along with some bright colored design decor. You're seated and your waitress takes your drink order and then the magic begins. They have so much to choose from. Hibachi and Hot pot is also available. Fresh seafood and sushi. Yum! Hot foods were definitely kept at a great temperature. They have a dessert and fruit bar. You can make a slushy or have a cup of ice cream. There are so many options available at an affordable price. read more

Food and service were horrible. Food was cold, rice very hard. Chicken cold when you bite into it...the meat was brown. I was told by a manager to get the food from the bottom !!! Really..Cold fried crab... Really...we were sitting by the kitchen the amount of food being thrown away was not surprising. The bill came to 62 43.. Not paying that...then the Bitch had the audacity to say "YOU PEOPLE DONT COME BACK"... Another manager came and charged us for sodas only. Never have to worry about these people coming back read more

No parking. Went around and round. You have to wait for people leaving. They even have valet parking as an option. Maybe the valet cars park at a separate lot. Food is in abundance of course. Quality is typical of Asian buffet. Choices galore! The place was crowded which is typical just by looking at the parking lot. This plaza is shared with other businesses too. Buffetopia absolutely needs a bigger area to accommodate for their customers parking situation. I suggest going as soon as they open if possible. Personally I would rather go to supreme buffet where this is amble parking, food and interior space. Minus 2 stars for parking read more

Haven't been to a buffet in years so we decided to stop in and woooow the options are literally unlimited. Great quality food, and rows and rows of options we were so overwhelmed. They even had crawfish, crab, hotpot and hibachi (all included)!!! I believe for two of us it was only $40 which is a great price. The inside is super cute, service was quick! Food was fresh and tasted great! Will definitely be back. read more

This restaurant is clean and quite roomy. They have several rooms. The food is hot and fresh. Although they have cold crab, I was hoping to find hot crab. Chicken with salt and pepper was my favorite dish. They serve sushi, pho, ice cream, my favorite, and a blend of Chinese and American cuisine. On a Saturday, we went here twice; the parking lot was packed and it took five to ten minutes to find a spot. The parking was better when I went around noon on a weekday. The waitress was on point and very attentive. read more

Awesome food. Hot and fresh. Absolutely incredible and diverse selection. Definitely coming back.

Awesome food taste and presentation. A very efficient buffet setup. Beautiful ambiance too!

So it's a buffet. I grew up going to buffets and honestly this one isn't too bad. They have a pretty solid variety of sushi, a ramen bar which I didn't go too, and different types of food. Their shrimp was good as well as their crab! Wish their desert menu was a little more different. Service was attentive. The environment was pretty spacious. We went for lunch and it wasn't super crowded or anything. If you and your family likes going to buffets go check this one out, I still prefer China Bear but that's because I grew up going to that one. read more

The food was great. They kept it as hot as they could for all the people that were there my God it was so many people, but the buffet was clean. The place was clean. There were no children at the buffet table. Our server was so awesome. I can't think of his name, but he was so awesome. I've never had so much fun at a buffet in my life. The crawfish was very good. Very tasty. The crab was good. The oysters were great. I just really enjoyed the place. The line was long, but it moved very fast. The place is huge. I almost felt I was in Japan with the beautiful decor. It was almost like going to a nightclub to eat nightclub chow down. There is no doubt I will be back. read more

I heard the hype around this restaurant on Tik Tok because it just recently opened & I wanted to give it a try. We went on Friday afternoon & the wait time took about 20 mins but I can't imagine it on a weekend so plan accordingly. Buffet 5/5: The selection of this place is massive bigger than most buffets I've been too but the thing that stole the show here was the seafood, everything was fresh & very tasty. My favorite thing overall were the Salt & Pepper frog legs they were breaded & seasoned to perfection. The hot pot was an interesting added feature to this buffet & for what it was, it was very good. Service 5/5: The service here was exceptional the workers kept coming every few minutes to pick up our plates & refill ours waters as well. This place has a lot of potential it's just up to the business to keep it up & I will be coming back again. read more
