    I was impressed with the sushi
    Angel C.

    Stopped at this restaurant in the middle of a long drive from Miami. Our journey had started early, so we didn't have a chance to eat breakfast so we were starving. We were excited to find a buffet, and though I must admit we were a little nervous of what we were gonna encounter. The minute you walk in, you know, you're in for a treat. The place was really clean the staff was smiling and buzzing around. And the restaurant was very well lit, I love me a bright restaurant. There was all the delicious Chinese food plates. You would expect the sushi selection was fantastically extensive, even better, it was being made fresh and constantly being refilled. The water didn't taste gross which is a big + for me living in Florida. The prize for lunch was under 20$ This was a pretty good experience. Some of the plates could have been a little warmer, and I did saw a kid helping himself to some ice cream, using his bare hands, but one may argue that was the parent's fault, not the staff. In general, I would recommend it, made these 3 weary travelers very fat and happy.

    Updated to add -- we are frequenting this place a lot. It is consistently delicious! Their krab rangoons are unlimited pockets of heaven.

    The food? mostly dry. The service? actually pretty quick. The ambiance? on par for a Chinese buffet at 3 in the afternoon. The jello? Flavorless, colorless, amazing

    My bf's mom wanted to try this spot so we took her there along with other family members. We went for an early dinner. There is ample seating space inside and many buffet stations to explore. Our server was friendly and brought us refills of beverages and cleared used plates. There is a great selection of food here. I started at the sushi area. The sushi is decent, nothing outstanding, but not bad. They have your usual selection of basic rolls. The hot foods offered a lot of variety. There were hits and misses. I thought the beef and broccoli was pretty good. The fried fish was really yummy. Some of the chicken dishes I also enjoyed. It was sometimes hard to tell the names of dishes depending on which side of the buffet you were on (it would be great to see labels on both sides). Overall, I really felt there was good food at a very reasonable price and I would return. It's not the best, but it's always fun to experience different foods at a good price point. My realistic review is a solid 3.5, but I didn't round up to 4 because the bathroom was not very clean or well stocked. That's always important in my opinion, so I'd love to see that improved.

    Assorted bites from half the dinner section lol

    This meal brought me heavy nostalgic vibes considering growing up the Chinese buffet in town was always a fun family dinner experience. City buffet was exactly how I imagined it would be and perhaps even better. We didn't try the hibachi section they had which next time I will have to try, nor the sushi though it did like appetizing. The standouts for me had to be the fried prawns and the fried whitefish. Some items tasted like frozen foods fried which I expected and other items were a little on the dry side but ultimately I had 2 plates plus's a dessert plate with fruit I forgot to snap a pic of. I'd recommend coming for lunch (before 3:30) to save a few bucks but for $16 a person I can't say I felt ripped off. Soda was an extra charge but they also still had "sierra mist" instead of Starry hehe (at least on the receipt). Service was incredible, whenever either of use finished a plate they would swiftly remove and clean the spot plus refill any beverages. I'd like to go back again and try the sushi along with the hibachi section, but overall it brought me back to my childhood growing up with nearly identical food options and flavors, and for that I suggest a meal if craving some american chinese grub.

Got a mojito that was great! Food did take long about 1 hour 30 mins but the girls that worked there saw I kept looking around and said I looked stressed out and frustrated and comped us 2 free drinks and an appetizer so that was nice of her. I got the butter chicken and we shared the garlic naan bread and everything was so good one of the best Indian food I've had!!! Definitely recommend coming here if you are craving food in the longwood area just don't come on a holiday or you will be waiting over a hour for your food but I would come back again one day!!!

Inside, the place is really nice, almost formal. Dark dining room with nice tables and booths. Cool artwork and lamps. Service was very interesting. Our host, maybe owner(?) was super chatty. I prefer service to be get and get out promptly but she was recommending items, asking questions, and determining herself what we really wanted. Hey, maybe some people really like that to get a great experience. I found it a bit much but she was super nice. We got the veggies platter appetizer which was fantastic. The server really pushed the lamb samosas which were fine but I should have passed. And for entrees we got butter chicken, tikka masala veggies, and shrimp korma with garlic naan and a fantastic plate of basmati rice. The meal was great! The sauces/gravies were so delicious. And honestly, some of the best basmati around. Come for the food! Definitely recommend this place. And for Amex users, a great credit as well. Definitely worth it.

    Dear God, this place is so good…read more The staff is incredibly friendly every time we come in, it's clean, well-kept, and easy to find. The food is amazing and their portions are always generous and worth the money. Our go-tos are the friend haddock and the fried chicken strips. Their fries are good, the coleslaw has just the right amount of sweetness, and I love their potato salad. Highly recommend to anyone that is looking for a delicious meal at a reasonable price.

    Boston fish house did not make a great impression. First off the young lady at the front was rude…read more She was talking almost in a shouting way. And to top it off snatched the menu out of my hands. Let's start with how they run the restaurant It's almost like s fast food They take your order first and pay, then they sit you. They even ask for tip. Once seated they bring the food out. Decor was okay but the furniture was in terrible conditions. Restroom looks like a 7/11 bathroom. Now the food which was pricey. No flavor at all. Let me start with the coconut shrimp, no flavor just drop fried. French fries were good but no seasoning. The lobster bisk was horrible. Again no flavor and very giddy with tiny sherds of lobster. Mac and cheese tasted like microwave food. My husband had fried scallops and although it didn't have much flavor they were pretty good. All in all great for all the seniors that were there but not for younger folks or anyone who likes to taste their food. Sadly to say won't be returning.

    Brunch Review 2026!…read more It's a Saturday in late April 2026 and the Orlando Magic are taking on the #1 rated Detroit Pistons! My brother and I deliberate days before on meeting up and with little hesitation, we opted for the Ravenous Pig! Securing a table reservation we instead opted to sit on the pub side where the TVs are. Soon after sitting down, we were greeted by Christina who was our server for the afternoon! Now this is Brunch Mode at the Ravenous Pig with a brunch style menu and beautiful rays on Sunshine which can feel quite different if you're used to having meals or drinks here for dinner where it can be quite busier and a different vibe! Today's visit was comfortable in the pub, lite in the dining room floor and nearly full outside in the beer garden. I settled in with the current version of the Gin and Jam! It tends to change as products become available with the underlying truth being a lite and refreshing cocktail to start with. This version is well done overall! Food wise we started with the Croquettes which had a sausage in them which brought good flavor paired with the crunchy exterior and white sauce on the plate resulted in an appetizing dish. Continuing on, the Sparkling Tea on menu is fantastic! As a side beverage or even mocktail form, it's a great Bev. We went with that and with the Magic game about to start, I went with the IT GOES TO ELEVEN cocktail! Boozy, Bright and Veracious! With these drinks in hand, we decided to move forward with more food and after consulting with Christina, we went with the Huckleberry pancake and the miso butter ribs. Without a doubt, the Huckleberry pancake was the standout star of the two dishes! A light pancake with great flavor and depth that doesn't fill you up but is a great sweeter dish that I can see Incorporated with a more savory brunch item like bacon and eggs as an example. Overall a great time for brunch! Shout out to Brian, Costa (the GOAT) and Scott for keeping it real and just being great individuals overall!

    Ravenous Pig in Winter Park is a solid experience. The staff was great from start to finish and the…read morecraft cocktails were wonderful, definitely worth exploring the menu a bit. The snapper collar tacos were the star of the show. Easily enough to share between two people, with fresh fish and really good homemade corn tortillas. The fish of the day was also excellent and the fresh ciabatta with garlic butter was hard to stop eating. The cauliflower appetizer missed the mark a bit for me, the pieces were a little too big and came out slightly undercooked. The chicken salad was just alright, nothing bad but nothing memorable either. Parking can be a little tough in the area, but the complimentary valet makes it much easier. I love that they have a quicker option out back with the beer garden, you can't go wrong!
