1. Over priced for buffet. Having to wait for certain dishes to come out , most of the platter was empty. Ex) stir fry lobster tail which everyone waited for, the fact it's placed in the middle of all the dishes.. people held up the line. Took forever to move to get my next item. Suggests they move it elsewhere to make it more convenient. 2. Stacked clean plates were filthy and sticky. It's supposed to be clean but given the rush they must be experiencing- not ideal . 3. Dim sum was not edible! Doesn't taste homemade. Made of cheap filling. 4. Crab legs- every 30 to 45 minutes they will refill. Good luck in getting some as they do come out in small amounts. Given the size amounts of seatss available, one would think they would accommodate to the people waiting in line for it. read more

The food was good, but the service was terrible. The waiter looked at me like he wanted to kill me. I will never come back. read more

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon - Buffets Near Me - Richardson, Texas

This place is amazing! The ambiance is fresh and modern with happy low beats over the stereo but it's background noise so you can still talk. The restaurant is spotless and everything is very easy to locate. All of the staff are friendly, welcoming and so helpful. The food is best part about this place, the quality, the flavors, the options and the freshness of each and every item. With all the options I tried tonight, I can't believe this is only $35 per person for dinner! I must have eaten 2 plates of crab legs! My top fav dishes were the crab leg, sushi, baked lobster (MUST TRY) , the braised ribs and the bok choy. We can't wait to come back!!! read more

I liked it. And I was with a party of about 21 people this past Sunday. All of us pretty picky folks when it comes to food quality and value. I score the place 5 of 5. I didn't hear one complaint from the group. It was fresh. Surprisingly, the dim sum BBQ bun fillings definitely was better than any other dim sum in DFW or in Taiwan, same goes with the braised chicken feet. Yea, it seems other restaurants like to use previous night's meat for fillings and pretend customers don't taste the difference. So kudos to this place. I also was surprised at the coconut shrimps, taste high end like in Chinese wedding banquets. Lobsters and crabs were very good too! Not sure why other reviews didn't think so. Yea, too many other tasty foods to mention. I'm a big fan of Asian Buffet and King on 75. But if you like more seafood, lobster, crabs legs, oysters, its good value for the money. read more

Excellent food choices, taste and staff. It has a family ambiance. I've been twice and cannot wait to go again.

This was one of the worst experiences I've had in quite some time. My son is 10 years old and tall, and we were told he would be charged as an adult. When I asked what the age cutoff was, I was told it was 10. Because my son is also very thin, I asked a follow-up question: if he were 13, shorter, and overweight with a much larger appetite, would he still be considered a child? The answer was yes. This policy clearly discriminates against taller children. My son is half Taiwanese and half Irish/Scottish. read more

Seevice ok, food quality is some of worst we have had. All cold seafood like shrimp and crab was very over cooked and mushy. Grilled food was seiously over cooked and zero flavor. I would not recommend to anyone. read more

I paid $35 for to eat here Sunday. I would've been happier eating at Kings or Flaming for half the price. There definitely a market for a more premium Chinese buffet but this place is poorly managed in terms of both food and seating. If this place was to stay in business for a long time I would really look at all the negative reviews and do better. Food were not quickly refilled and the seafood were poor quality. I wouldn't come back here until I see changes in more recent reviews. Not worth going and definitely not premium. read more

I went for lunch. 4.5 stars. The options are plentiful. They have sushi and sushi rolls, over 25 varieties. (No sashimi for lunch. (When I took sushi and left the rice on my plate, no one said a word). I wish the sushi rolls had been labeled. Maybe 20 dim sum dishes. A hibachi station. Maybe 30+ cooked Chinese items. Deserts, including ice cream bars and ripe fruits. Do you like octopus? I believe they had it in 3 different dishes. This is the first and only restaurant I've ever patronized that served chicken feet. (Nope, didn't try em). Pork belly was a surprise. Whole shrimp or small prawns on a stick, fully shelled with heads and legs. Pretty, but a bit of work to shell them. Also, a steamed crab. Served by the 1/2 crab, claw, legs and body. Not familiar with the species. Claws looked exactly like a stone crab. The body was a light gray, not orange. Nice crabmeat. Let me advise you, they take quite a bit of work to remove the crab meat to eat. This crab is light and flakey so every single morsel was a flake about the size of a rice kernel. When the shell was cracked up, I used the point of 1 chopstick to dig it out. Not even the claws or front crab legs come out in chunks it lumps. And it's really messy to eat. The restaurant is mostly all shiny white. The furniture orange. Different and Immaculately clean. I had zero issues with the moderate quantity out for consumption of any one item at any one time. My guess, they are preventing any one patron from monopolizing and hogging any particular item. They constantly rotated more of every item. I noticed that the customers were 90% Asians. Quintessentially polite. I could not get in or out the door without some unknown patron holding the door open for me. Seems well accepted in the community. By the end of my lunch, the place was packed. Lots of staff. Every time they would go by, they quietly pick up any food scraps or used plates on the table. As I walked in, the total quantity of the myriad of dishes, looked enough to feed 4X as many patrons. I had read a few sketchy reviews. I saw absolutely nothing that wasn't as fresh as possible, immaculate, and beautifully displayed. And my lunch was $20. (advertised at $22). Either $ is a Bargain! I'm sure they have many more dishes on the dinner buffet. I'll be back for dinner. read more

Lunch buffet after senior discount is $20 per person now. A lot of fried food and different varieties. It's okay to try at least once.

terrible services, me and husband got check in at 7pm, wait until 8:24pm and still didn't able to get the table, then I realize that they don't even care whose come first gotta get in line, whoever come and kinda give the host pressure then he checked them in, regardless if they just walk-ins, they totally ignored the small group that has been in line waiting. The place is really dirty, even the food got wasted so much, they didn't fill up the plates to serve either. And after all they do not apologize about the fact that they got completely forgot about us. Please don't waste your time and money here, somewhere else will appreciate your business. read more

It was amazing! Super fun to play for a free meal at the end of the meal!! The food was amazing and had a great time! The service was top tier amazing! read more

We had seen this restaurant advertised and went for the first time a couple of weeks ago. We mainly went for the crab legs and the variety of all the other dishes. I've seen the mixed reviews on Yelp. However, the first time we went there we were super impressed with the quality of the crab legs and the selections of the dishes. We felt we had found our new place to eat. We returned last night on a Friday night and of course the restaurant was extremely busy which is fine. We were really looking forward to the crab legs. We wish the crab legs were served hot instead of cold and the butter was not totally melted so it didn't warm up the crab legs. The crab legs were very disappointing and the shells were mushy. The shells would not crack open for the meat and the meat did not taste as good as the first time. Maybe they had been sitting in the water too long? Plus, the crab legs were not replenished quickly and the tuna sashimi had run out when we first got there and was never replenished. The sushi choices were limited and never replenished. We arrived at 8:30 and we expected all the dishes to be full. It looked to us that once they ran out of a particular item. They did not refill it because they were closing at 10:30 and we left shortly before 10 because the crab legs were gone the minute they hit the platter. We had a long wait before more crab legs came out. And when they did, they were immediately gone and not replenished for a while. And the quality of the crab legs this time was a two out of 10 when the first time was a nine out of 10.....very disappointing and we do not have plans to return for these reasons. We felt like since it was later in the evening they didn't want to replenish the dishes about an hour before closing time. Service was terrible. In fact we had take our dirty dishes to another table being cleared because our waitress paid no attention to us. No plans to return as we felt we did not get our moneys worth because of limited selections left and not replenished. read more

Me and my wife were hungry around 4:30 and decided to go to this buffet. They had a January promotion going on that gave you a chance to win a free dinner if you rolled 3 dices in a specific way. My wife with her good luck was able to win a free dinner. The food has improved since grand opening and the seafood was more available to grab around this time. My favorite was the new grilled clam they added to the menu. The service was great. I highly recommend this buffet. read more

My dad wanted to try this new Asian buffet so we drove from Arlington to Dallas. We went for lunch at 11:30 and the place was already pretty full. We were seated immediately and the place was clean and new. The food options were amazing. Almost too much but enough to get your monies worth. We got the standard Asian food like orange chicken, pepper shrimp, sweet and sour chicken and fried rice and it was all good. We also tried the sushi, street style grilled food, and a few items I had never seen and they were also pretty tasty. We were too full to make ramen or a hibachi plate. We did try some steamed dumplings but they had very little flavor (like eating air). The big seafood pot was not good. We love a seafood boil but this had no flavor and the seafood was not up to par. The desert was okay. We enjoyed the cakes and ice cream. The chocolate in the fountain was not good and it was cute that they were making cotton candy but I didn't get any. My parents enjoyed their senior discount and we were pretty satisfied in all with the food and price. I'm not sure if we will go back since it is not close and it was crazy busy when we were leaving. You will need to be prepared to wait in line for your food or push in to get what you want. I would say 3.5 out of 5. read more

So many choices. Adults are 18/26/28 for lunch/dinner/weekend. They have lots of seafood and sushi in addition to a cooking station

I only recommend lunch at this beautiful, clean, and great food in general. The dishes do not have the deep sophisticated flavors as those at Szechuan or Hunan restaurants. I agree with other customers who commented that the seafood are not good. We have tried the dinner fare and it is not worth the money. The lobsters are very small, very difficult to eat, very small portions, the Stone crabs are "crumbly", the Snow crabs are sparse in supply and very cold . So, the lunch menu is a good deal but the dinner menu is not worth the price. read more

Not worth the price. Non of the food was hot, and the selection was sub par. Great set up and staff was attentive and friendly. Dessert bar was less than expected. read more

I came on opening day Tuesday dinner and again on Thursday during thanksgiving. Opening day was fantastic, the food had authentic flavors, beautifully presented and the cakes were high quality and not too sweet. Not sure if it had anything to do with all the influencer filming that day. On thanksgiving day, the food was noticeably more salty, the cakes were replaced with western style that was very sweet. They also charged $45 for the holidays with very print under the menu which I think is quite misleading. Honestly, thanks giving day rating is probably at most 1/5 stars. The raw seafood didn't look or tasted as fresh on opening day. I spat out a lot of questionable seafood and overly salty food because I haven't reached my deductible on my health insurance yet. Don't risk it unless you have great health insurance lol! read more

Great asian food with several different stations. There's seafood galore, sushi/sashimi, comfort food with grilled meats, salad bar, dim sum, fruit bar, nice dessert section with cakes, jello, cheesecakes, and traditional Chinese dessert soups. This place had been rated #1 in state of TX. I am in agreement with that reviewer! read more

Me and my wife dine in this buffet very first time this Sunday night. The variety of food selections are abundant and guaranteed to satisfy the most hard to please customers. Everything is fresh. Beyond my expectation. Sushi section is acceptable. The oysters are incredibly fresh and tasty. The crab legs and lobsters are a must to experience. Jay, the waiter is attentive and polite. On the way out, I noticed on the wall with a poster wrote that customers over 60 get 15% off. I came back to mention that to the lady in front desk. She was happy and promptly refunded the difference to our credit card. What a nice experience. We will come back regularly. Thank you Crouching Tiger / Hidden Dragon Restaurant for the food and service you provide to us. read more

Disappointed, especially for a place that just opened. They already raised the dinner price from $30 to $35 after only a couple weeks, which feels a bit much. What really bothered me was how they charge kids by height instead of age. My son is only 2 years old and they charged him $12 just because of his height. Food was okay, but between the sudden price increase and the unfair kids pricing, it doesn't feel worth it. Probably won't be back. read more

Bad service Long wait to get in and once you get in, the food is all gone and it's super crowded this crazy madhouse read more

Of course. Here is a concise, one-paragraph review: The Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon Buffet offers a fantastic and varied feast that thoroughly satisfies. The highlight is the live noodle station where chefs expertly toss fresh lo mein in a fiery wok, but the consistently replenished classics--like tender honey-glazed ribs, crispy General Tso's chicken, and delicate steamed dumplings--are all well-executed and flavorful. While the spice levels cater to a broad audience rather than fiery authenticity, the overall quality, clean and inviting atmosphere, and excellent value for the price make it a top choice for a fun, filling group meal where everyone can find something they love. read more

this place was absolutely terrible. I will not recommend it to anyone. They serve you the lobster. It's not all you can eat, and the food was absolutely poison. Garbage ice cold. read more

Great service! Good food! Clean restaurant! Great crowd! Various food selections! read more

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon - Buffets Near Me - Richardson, Texas

When it was first open... it was "all seafood" buffet... but they cut the lobster into 2-inch pieces... Yesterday, we came back... they have a person standing there to give 3 small pieces... I asked for more... the owner was rude, mean, and disrespectful... she said "that's all ..." and told me to go on.... I gave the 3 pieces back and walked away.... she started yelling and called her husband over to be very confrontational... we'll never come back here again... it's $30 per person and IT IS NOT ALL SEAFOOD BUFFET; FALSE-MISLEADING advertisement... rude people! Seafood such as Dungeness Crab, Snow Crab & Stone Crab, all the crab dishes are extremely low quality.. all shell fish fishes are very low quality! Fishes are not fresh! All meat dishes are too sweet - bad for A1C / kidney... All around are low quality; they seem non-fresh, one would wonder they bought the dead ones from All Asian markets in surrounding areas. In summary, alll went down dramatically! NOT WORTH IT! If it is $10/person... I might reconsider, just might... Nhà hàng KHÔNG PHẢI LÀ Seafood buffet!!! $30 một người mà chỉ co 3 miếng lobster nhỏ... yêu cầu thêm thì biểu khách đi đi! Chủ nhà hàng vô phép, dữ, và vô văn hóa!!! Không đáng $30 một người! Thức ăn đồ biển không tươi... các món Cua, Crawfish, Snow Crab, Rock Crab, Dungeness Crab củ không tươi... gia vị không ngon... các món thịt thì cho quá nhiều đường... bad for A1C... read more

I went to the restaraunt yesterday arou d 5pm. I was not pleased. I just got what was bits and pieces of lobster. I bit into it and got a mouth full of what tasted like ammonia. My lobster was not good. This place was advertised on Instagram with this fabulous price for this fabulous food. Also the hot food was barely luke warm . I got the tamales and they were cold. I know they have some good reviews but my experience was not. I definitely would not recommend this place as I would be concerned about the food safety because even though they say that they careful. I definitely don't agree based on the food that I recieved. read more

i dont know where to start but this was the worst food ever. the sea food was chopped up so small like in a dog bow. they the crad legs was serve cold and was just like tooth picks. the food was blind . i tried a piece of seafood it had a bad ammonia taste, after that i got up and left . this place was the worst read more

First, the cuisine options were varied and plentiful. The quality, however, was absolutely wretched. A business cannot sustain such a large selection of food while keeping it high quality. When consuming the food, the only emotion I could feel was regret. The quality is low. With the price being 38$ per person on the weekend, expectations were high with a disappointing finish. The employees were not rude, but the many glares that they gave my family were uncomfortable. One employee continuously swarmed the table with a judgmental look. I can appreciate attentiveness, but down right staring made me feel disgusted. As me and my cousin walked around, I could feel eyes stare at the back of my head, I felt a chill down my spine. Every employee looked at us with disgust, like we couldn't enjoy a pleasant morning with our family. I'm happy to see the inclusion of different food from different cultures, but it's downright disrespectful to have this quality of food. Their ancestors would be appalled. read more

I saw some clips on TikTok about the lobsters, dungeness crab, snow crab legs, sushi/sashimi,dim sum made me want to try the place. Which I find out it was just not good, They barely replenish the lobsters. After fighting with 10 people, I was able to grab a piece to try and put it in my mount. I can tell it's not fresh. Same with the Dungeness crabs, I can tell the crab was put in the freezer older than my 10 years old car and the dim sum, even Chinese don't touch on it, you can tell how bad it was. Not to mention the price which should be $30 on the weekday, when I asked the waitress why they charge me $35, the waitress say price was raised since yesterday, for a restaurant just open 1 month and already raised the price, I was like wow.... Needless to say I would not go back there again. read more

Food was very fresh for buffet style. Crab came out of shell very easily. Crab is served cold. I prefer hot but flavor was still very good. Service was excellent. Ambiance was family oriented and very clean. read more

PLEASE FIX THE WATER PRESSURE IN THE RESTROOM! (Specifically the toilets). Otherwise the grill salt & pepper shrimp was definitely a FAV read more

Came here for my bday yesterday and was not disappointed!! The food was good don't listen to all these complainers they have great service and food. I also love the fact that they care about the environment and encourage you to take leftover food home than waste it, great experience!! read more

Service was bad the have to many people but when you call them to help you with something the get mad and food was cold and

We went last night and it was absolutely delicious. My favorites were the lobster, short ribs, and coconut shrimp. The snow crab was in its natural flavor, so you can't complain there. They had so many exotic foods to try as well! Like Tripe, chicken feet, and foods that didn't have a title with them. It was $26 per adult and $10 for my child who was below 4ft. I really really enjoyed the ambiance and the service, just all around met my expectations. read more

The stir-fried clams with black bean sauce were packed with flavor, and the variety of dishes on display was impressive. Everything looked fresh and inviting, especially the noodles and stir-fries. A great selection to please everyone! read more

If I could vote 0 stars, I absolutely would! Matter of fact, the restaurant owes me 5 stars for my presence. For $28/ person, it's absolutely not worth it!! The snow crab legs were shitty quality and inconvenient to eat! The food selection is not bad but definitely doesn't seem high quality. Please also get some REAL ice cream... what the hell was that off-brand ice cream? The cherry on top of my terrible experience was this one particular server who had a unwelcoming attitude and kept staring at me like what are you looking at? No tip?? Honestly the best part of my experience was clogging the toilet and releasing my gas because of that shitty food. read more

If you are not part of a religion, you better pick one and pray you get treated well here. I am not one to ever leave reviews unless the quality is excellent or tremendously terrible. In this case, I am leaving a review because this is the worst ever customer service! Very rude customer service. The lobster and seafood is such bad quality. The lobster isn't even all you can eat because there is a lady that picks the smallest pieces for you and gives a mean look if you come back. It makes you not even want to eat here. I will not be coming back! If you are thinking of coming to this place, DO NOT!! read more

The buffet is over-priced on the weekend. Weekday or lunch price is ok. If you are not fast enough, no lobster for you. And then lobster is chopped down to small piece. Very salty. Crab is just crab. Very salty and the refill is very slow. Customer services was good. For the price you paid for the buffet, I suggest go somewhere else. Too expensive. Youtube, facebook, and instagram reviews are just store paid ads. Not even half truth about the restaurant read more
