We're trying several buffets across San Antonio and this one stands above the rest. Food is fresh Standout: carnitas and mash potatoes Great service and definitely would come back! read more

Second time being here. The place is big and has wide varieties of food, desserts, steak, and just about anything you can think of. I especially like their delicious desserts and ice cream. Service this time was good. Server kept checking on our table frequently and always asked if we were ok or needed anything. Place is big inside and well organized. Enjoyed coming over here for a second time. Recommended. read more

Bathrooms were not clean. This is an older building and somewhat run down. Overall there was a large selection of choices but nothing was like a "wow" They did have a grill station but even steaks were a lower quality. Between Lins, Kumi and here will drive little further for Lins. read more

Good variety of food for buffet , a little pricey but I'm not complaining. Had a good time with family lots of space to sit not too long of a wait. Service was nice and helpful. read more

It's been a while since I've been here but it's definitely aged in terms of its ambiance. We were in the back rooms that were hot and muggy. Food was... okay for the most part. Steaks felt as if they weren't even cooked on the grill, even so looking at the grill it seemed off. Service was great though. read more

Every was great not that much people were there the music was also good definitely worth it

The place was busy but we only had a 12 minute wait time. It was fully stocked with everything and the back staff was on top of the courses making sure to fill them up. Food was very good and a huge variety of soups, rice, sushi and so much more. If you are looking for a quiet place this is not it because of the way they have the tables set up everyone is so close together that you can hear absolutely everyone's conversation. It is to loud. But food is worth it for the price and staff are friendly. read more

Finally tried chopsticks to check out the rave from friends. It was a buffet that's all. The food area was very clean, our server crystal was very attentive by keeping drinks full and plates bussed. There's plenty of seating. Staff were constantly refilling the servings, the food was hot/cold and labeled. They also have a cook to order grill with a chef for steaks and such. I didn't get the chance to try it. For lunch paid $27 for 2 adults + 2.99 drink. read more

We usually go to Asian Star in medical center, but wanted to try something new. Overall, the food was okay, nothing to rant and rave about. Our server, Sunny, was great! Super nice and always made sure our drinks were full. It felt like a Golden Corral inside. What I will rant about is the process in line. You wait in line, pay before you eat, then wait again for them to call your number. Not once did they give us an approximate time. You pay before you eat so even if you change your mind, you've already paid so you can't leave. My family won't return simply for that reason. I understand pre-paying, but maybe after your number is called so that if you decide to go elsewhere, no money lost. read more

Chopsticks Chinese Restaurant - Green beans, steak, rice noodles, egg roll, yeast roll - Chinese Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

We've driven by @chopsticksbuffetsa a few times, and it has caught Dad's eye. Hubby and Dad had been there together before. Today, I joined them for lunch. I guess you can't beat all you can eat for less than $13. We had the Agua frescas to drink. Dad got 3 plates of food and 2 soups. This is where Dad seems to have a bottomless pit. Dad does enjoy buffets. He wouldn't do so well at places that charge you if you have leftover. read more

A trip down nostalgia lane! They have tons of food to include steak off the grill! I dont eat carbs and I still found a lot to eat - bourbon chicken, general's chicken, Kung pao chicken, pepper steak, beef with broccoli, carrot salad, fruit and more! Definitely worth trying, it's pre-pay if that is a factor. read more

Excelente food but too crowded and the wait is ridiculous. Go early if yuh want to get in & seated.

I know to some people maybe a buffet isn't for them but I liked this place. My parents loved it growing up and as a kid I wasn't a fan or Asian food but luckily they have kid options like nuggets, pizza, fries, ice cream, jello! So I was happy for that because we took our toddler and baby. I liked that I was able to eat a bit of everything, sure it's a little pricy but if you have a good stomach I think it's worth it. I will say the crawfish lacks flavor for my taste but still liked the options. My hubby liked that he was able to get steak done to his liking. read more

The food was hot and it was being constantly changed out and fresh, there was a little bit of a line weight, but not too bad just be patient it's worth waiting for. The price was reasonable. read more

Right when you enter the door they are there to take your " order" aka how many people are getting buffet and what age group and take your order for your drinks whether it be soda, bar or water and you pay right there. The ambiance is a do it yourself. Lol. The server accidentally made a mistake and called my daughter a sir. Plus, she kept rushing to finish eating as she was way too eager to take our plates away when we clearly were taking our time. She also kept taking my kids half drinking cups and giving them new ones. I felt like we were speed eating and drinking. She kept talking to the hub almost every time she kept coming over. Food quality isn't the best nor the worst. It's ok. For 4 adults and 2 drinks is over 61.00... my kids definitely got their monies worth. In my opinion it isn't a 5 star. I feel like that's just gas lighting people. read more

Some pretty good Chinese food and for a great price! It's been a VERY long time since I've been to a buffet and wasn't exactly impressed with the couple I'd been too, but Chopsticks was pretty good! We weren't sure what to expect the interior to look like, but it wasn't what either of us was expecting. But not in a bad way! We were greeted by a really cool dragon relief just inside the entryway past the prepay counter and one of the walls above the buffet area was covered in hanzi, and restaurant as a whole was huge with several kind servers keeping drinks topped off, taking away finished plates, and keeping the restaurant in immaculate condition. The buffet area itself was at least double the size of what I'd expected and with so many different options. Servers were constantly refilling the serving stations and keeping them clean, and you could watch the food being prepared towards the back of the house over a half wall as you served yourself which was pretty neat. There was a bar for sushi, salad, dessert, ice cream, and a couple more for both standard and more unique Asian food dishes. We also thought it was great that they included quite a bit of options for those not fond of Chinese food, including both Mexican and American dishes, such as quesadillas and pizza. Though I skipped those options this time around, I would not oppose trying them on a return visit. I selected several different dishes to taste so I will list them all below at the end of my review so you can get a solid idea of what to expect, but I think my favorite dishes were the Walnut Shrimp, Pepper Steak, and Fried Oreo. The Walnut Shrimp, however, was so delicious I went back for another small serving after my initial sample. The quality ranged from 'just okay' to 'really good' but there was nothing we tried that we considered gross or unappetizing. It was all tasty for the most part and gave us an opportunity to try things that we might normally not have. I would like to mention that this probably isn't the best place to go for those with mobility issues, at least solo. The buffet is up on an elevated platform of about two or three steps, and I just kept thinking that if I'd come here a couple months prior when I was moving around with a knee scooter and crutches it would have put a damper on my experience since I was unaware prior to this trip. Be sure to bring someone with you so you can try out everything! My fiancé and I had a really fun experience and can finally say we understand why we'll frequently see lines out the entrance. I'd highly recommend checking to see their busy hours before you go so you can miss the crowd, but for the little you spend for such good quality it's worth it even if it is a little crowded. Take some friends and go! You'll have a good time! What I tried: Dinner Roll, Crabmeat Rangoon, Teriyaki Chicken (Kabob), Walnut Shrimp, Eggroll, Mushu Vegetables, Pepper Steak, one of every Sushi, Sautéed Shrimp, Stuffed Mushroom Caps, Dumplings with Sauce, Lemon Chicken with Lemon Sauce and Sweet and Sour Sauce, Tres Leches Cake, Strawberry Cheesecake, Lemon Pound Cake, Strawberry Pound Cake, Fried Oreo, Vanilla Ice Cream read more

If I can give a zero rating to this place, I would food here has never cooked right all the fish that you eat. Here is either overcooked or not cooked well feel like somebody needs to investigate this area because the silverware the knives for the steaks you get are always dirty steaks here are not even that good there's no flavor. I shouldn't have to add a one sauce to a good steak so if you're thinking about eating a buffet, you do not pick this place. $80 is not even worth it. read more

Best buffet in SA!! The food is always delicious and the servers are lovely. A bar inside definitely tops the cake as well. read more

Chopsticks Chinese Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

We went the weekend after Christmas right around 3pm. Soo crowded! There was a wait. And it was hard to even walk around, it was so peopley. Decor was nice and buffets seemed to be well maintained. Our Server was very good! Super attentive, treated us like we were her only customers and was very sweet to the kids in our party. Food was just ok, not very hot and I chose vegetable dishes and items I didn't think kids would like to eat/touch. I had a teriyaki chicken skewer, and it was tasty. Salads seemed fresh and sushi was decent. Fruit also looked fresh. I'm sure if they weren't so busy it might have been a better experience. It was too crowded to be pleasant. But I would for sure give it another chance. read more

Lunch was a disappointment. The grilled steak lacked flavor which A1 could not enhance. The fried dumplings were bland. I couldn't find one item I thought was above par. The bathroom was disgusting. Please put an air freshener! read more

The food was okay for it being a buffet. Some food items lacked a bit of flavor, and some (honey walnut shrimp, orange chicken, and a few others) food items that were battered were on the soggy side, which was disappointing. The service was good. We came during lunchtime, and it was busy. However, I liked how attentive and friendly our server was. The ambiance was okay. The chairs could use some cleaning, as all 12 chairs had sticky residue on them (there were 13 of us). Parking was a bit chaotic. Would we be back? Eh...Maybe one day we would give them a second chance, but not for a long while. read more

This honestly was one of the best buffets I have ever went to. There was a big line but the wait wasn't too long. The place was clean and looked great. Inside looked nice. There were pretty good quality foods to choose from. Food was good nothing I couldn't complain about except some of the flavors and the ribs they had. They were good but had alot of fat. Thats a me problem . I don't like fat... besides that they were hittin. They had fried Oreos never have I ever been to a buffet that had fried Oreos... The service was great. All the workers were pretty nice. They were on top of refilling drinks. I recommend trying this spot out if your fat and like food!!! read more

So darn busy, wait lines out the door and we can never get in! Must be good. Not standing in line for 20-30 min for Chinese buffet though. We tried 4 times since January with no luck. read more

I used to LOVE this place as a kid but now looking at it, I regret it. First the line is super long and it's almost a 2 HOUR WAIT just for a way worse experience. The staff is pretty ok and they help when needed but the food is just vulgar. It doesn't even look appealing or appetizing, and most of the food looks really processed. The is only 2 things that might even be edible to me at least. They make you pay upfront and ask for your drinks once you're seated they immediately give you your drink. Then you go to the buffet that looks really ran through. The food is fresh kinda and most of it isn't even that great. You think trying new things is a good thing but really you go home full and feel like you're gonna throw up your insides. I would recommend to a homeless on the street but in general this place is the epitome of processed thick maybe sweet and sour sauce. Never again read more

This was the worst Chinese buffet I've been to in San Antonio. Came here last night for Father's Day. It was packed with people, about 15-30 minutes wait time. For a packed buffet, I expect hot fresh food. The only food I liked were the lemon chicken, steak from the bbq grill, macaroni cheese, and fried oreos. Pretty much all their food is luke-warm or cold and overcooked. Seriously, how are the mash potatoes cold?? None of the meats were juicy, just dry. The only exception was the steak from the grill, which was delicious. It took forever for the server to provide us forks and our beverages. They were good at refilling it though. There were no forks or knives in the caddies around the buffet. I recommend this buffet to not overcook the meat, put out hot plates, look into their heatlamps, and start calling people on the waitlist by phone if they are not in the lobby. read more

I loved the food , but y'all gotta step it up on the alcohol cuz I promise I didn't taste any liquor in my margarita, so I was a bit disappointed that I spent $9 on a drink that had no alcohol... I would've gave it 5 stars but I was really hurt about the drink lol. I will be back for the food but next time no alcoholic beverages... read more

I went out with my family and my friend's family. Our party consisted of 4 parents and 4 kids. When the suggestion of a Chinese buffet came up, I cringed. I'm usually not an Asian buffet person. Boy, I was wrong. This place was great, and the prices were very, VERY decent. When I saw the Yelp rating (after I ate there), it was 3.5 stars. It's still 3.5 stars as I write this (weeks after eating there). Why is this significant? Well, if you watch this video, it explains it. I totally agree with this guy, also. https://www.tiktok.com/@rocketjump/video/7142660978868489515?is_from_webapp=v1&item_id=7142660978868489515&lang=en If you can't click the link, search for TikTok (cringe...I don't have an account, but it was linked everywhere), rocketjump (username), and Yelp 3.5, and you'll find it. So, why the 3 stars? I'm not sure. We can't rate half stars, and I'm just taking a guess that a 3 is needed to keep 3.5, and a 4 would tip it to a 4. It's just an arbitrary star rating in this case. I hope you find this funny AND informative. read more

The service was okay but that food was very good and so much to choose from. I can say that's one of the best buffets I've ever been to. They have a mixture of American cuisine and Asian food. Try this, especially if you have a big family and want to save money. You won't be disappointed. read more

Great selection. Everything was fresh and hot. As far as Chinese buffets go the only better one around is maybe Kumi. This spot has them whooped on price though. If you're hungry and in the neighborhood ( especially with kids ) I'd go here no question. read more

We usually go to the best buffet,Lin's,but decided to try something different..We found it to be average..No senior discount and there was a charge for a 1 year old..No Wonton soup,crab legs(weekend item at good buffets),duck sauce for rangoons..There was plastic silverware..On a positive note our server promtly picked up our plates when finished.. read more

The food was absolutely disgusting. Extremely small selection of food and dishes. The dishes tasted like nothing and the shrimps weren't even salted. The service was slow and almost all the staff was talking to each other instead of attending costumers. The environment was bad all around. The music was super low volume and the only thing that was heard was the chatter of everyone else. All in all, super bland food, super expensive, and really slow staff and energy. Would never return. read more

I mean idk how ppl are eating here. I mean yeah its edible but two ppl for 35.00. A solid 2/10 for me. Mashed potatoes - 0/10 - taste like boxed mashed potatoes Mac and cheese - taste like water 0/10 Rangoon - 7/10 - good Lo mein - 5/10 - edible but wouldn't eat it again Orange chicken - good 7/10 had a red side sauce that tasted like cherry cinnamon - nasty asfff / & there was a side orange sauce / was alright Egg rolls - 7/10 good Steak - 7/10 alright Cucumber salad - 5/10 no flavor Salad - so watery - idk what they got going on tbh Idk i feel like i tried more & its a buffet so i mean you get what you pay for but there was a LINEEEE out the door. Americans are trippin. I would never. It's not the worst food that I've ever tasted, but it's definitely not worth a price personally for me . I do not know how it is so busy to be honest because it lacked so much flavor like unless you're really old or really young and don't know what good food taste like then maybe you could show up here but like the math isnt mathing. Idk, to each their own. read more

Valentines day 11AM 2025. Not good. Last time we go. There are better buffets around. Maybe its the demographics but most of the food is poor quality, poorly cooked and poorly seasoned. We paid extra for "Valentines Seafood". No special "seafood" to be found. Regular buffet "seafood" Calimari (Cisco) shouldn't be underbaked and taste like tarragon. Pork ribs (Cisco) shouldnt be overbaked and taste like baking soda (old way to tenderize cheap grade meat) Breaded shrimp (Cisco) shouldnt be hard, flat and dry. Fried chicken (Cisco) shouldnt be small, dried and overcooked. Egg rolls (who knows?) had gross weird taste. We left feeling unappreciated. They dont even have any baked goods, bread, cookies, nuttin. On top of the poor food, they need to work on communication skills. Time to have the hood vent over the steakatorium fixed as we were drowning in beef smoke. The servers though are great! read more

You already know what's up! I brought my little family here and everyone's jaws dropped with not only the selection but the quality of the selection. The food looked and tasted absolutely delicious. Enough said ! (Just look at my photos) read more

Went on a Friday afternoon around 3 or 4pm. It's a big dining room setup with booths and tables. The server was on top of refilling drinks and keeping table cleaned for us. The buffet has a wide range of variety of items. Not only did everything taste fresh but all items that I ate were delicious. I mean EVERYTHING. Shout out to the cooks on deck 10/18/2024. This is how a restaurant should always operate. read more

Use to love going but now it's just horrible, the service & the food needs work tremendous work

Food is always delicious! I especially love their green beans and their coconut shrimp

This place is just gross. First off, it's hot as HELL in this place, turn the damn AC down! Secondly, the food is horrible. I tried a lot of things hoping I'd find at least one thing that didn't taste like old grease but to no avail! $60 bucks for 3 people to just catch diarrhea before even getting home...you've been warned! read more

As pedestrian as a San Antonio "chinese" buffet can be. First, this isn't really a chinese restaurant (buffet). While the some selections have an asian flair this is definitely an American buffet. The price was reasonable, the restaurant was clean, the food was hot, and I didn't end up with a completely inedible dish as is sometimes the case at this type of establishment. Manage your expectations and choose carefully at the buffet table and you will probably be ok. Don't experiment here. read more

** this review is solely based on experience and customer service bc we never even got to eat due to a fire The only reason I'm not give 1 star is bc I feel bad they had that fire. From the very beginning you pay... like before you even sit down. (And yea we never got a refund) The lady upfront was RUDE like we couldn't even ask questions without her treating us like animals in a herd. So we paid and she gave us attitude when we asked " how long is the wait" we didn't even get an answer. There was about 50-75 people waiting for a table, which to to be honest we weren't upset at all bc we figured that meant this place was just that good. We kept being pushed back and back until we were literally on top of the Buffett (I should of just made a plate and ate in line lol) Then obviously the powers went out and we were forced to leave. Got two rude remarks and upset tones when we asked for the refunds so we just got frustrated and left. So yeah. I TRULY will come back and here and rate the food but honestly after that I am not in much of a rush. P.S Don't come on a Sunday after church. read more
