I visited Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon on Greenville Ave around 12:30 PM, and overall it was a very pleasant experience. From the moment we arrived, the service stood out. The staff were attentive, constantly checking on the food stations to make sure everything was fully stocked, clean, and well organized. The restaurant itself feels modern, very spacious, and well maintained, which made the dining experience even more comfortable. The food quality was solid across the board. Everything I tried tasted fresh, and the sushi was a definite highlight of the buffet. One standout feature is the noodle bar, which I haven't seen at many buffets in Dallas. They also offer a Mongolian-style station where you can choose your own ingredients, which adds a fun, customizable element to the meal. The salad bar was surprisingly good as well, with a fresh and diverse selection. On top of that, there were several soups to choose from, all flavorful and well prepared. I've been there twice for lunch now and enjoyed it both times. I've also heard that dinner is even better, with a slightly higher price but an expanded selection that includes crab and a wider variety of seafood--definitely something I plan to try next. Overall, the combination of cleanliness, attentive service, spacious environment, and fresh, tasty food made this a very enjoyable experience. For the price, it offers excellent value, and it's absolutely worth a visit if you're in the area. I've been there twice for lunch now and enjoyed it both times.

Tried a little bit of everything this time, and the seafood and meat dishes really caught my interest. The clams were well-cooked and stayed hot, and it was good to see that they weren't overly salty. The sliced ribs offered good flavor for a buffet and surprised me with how tender they were. Another good thing about them was that they had a good fruit and dessert section. The fruit was fresh and refrigerated well, which was great since you'd had enough heavier foods. The desserts were also in small servings but were displayed well, meaning you can order a number of them without getting overwhelmed. They strike a pretty good mix of variety and freshness, overall. It can be pretty busy, depending on the time you go, but if you're in the mood for some buffet food that actually comes with some seafood options, meat options, and decent desserts, then this is the place to be. read more

Went to this restaurant to experience their buffet and enjoyed it. Of the many restaurants that offer this kind of experience, this establishment has caught my attention because of its build-your-own stir-fry station. This restaurant appeared to be clean and well-organized. For a buffet restaurant, this is quite an improvement. The hot stations offered quite a good variety of food to serve - veggies and moist meat dishes. There was nothing that seemed to be drying out or overcooked. It was quite refreshing to see more lighter options being offered along with the heavier food. Yes, there may also be some crowding during peak hours of operation. But all in all, it was also a pretty decent experience in terms of both price and variety. It would definitely be on the list of places to go if you enjoy various options of food. read more

Context: This buffet is brand new and currently in its soft-opening week. It looks like they're still getting everything set up, as the bar area and beer taps haven't been installed yet. I'm hoping it becomes a full bar once everything is complete because some hard liquor would pair perfectly with the buffet options. Holiday Pricing: I visited on Thanksgiving Day for dinner. The website still showed the standard $35 dinner pricing, but the holiday pricing was higher at $45. I understand why some people were upset about the price difference (and the current state of the economy), but I let it go because they're a new restaurant and still trying to get everything set up. Mistakes will be made. Other reviewers mentioned that a sign was eventually posted for the updated price, but I didn't see it, and I wasn't specifically looking for it either. Food Selection: The food selection was extensive. Right away, they feature their main seafood selection and a noodle bar. For seafood, we're talking Dungeness crab, crab legs, sashimi, maki, and nigiri. Wrapping around the corner they had turkey and Peking duck, Szechuan dishes, and eventually, kalbi, garlic lobster, and a seafood/crawfish boil. I'm not sure how, but Lol, I saw an elderly Chinese man eating WHOLE lobsters alongside his crab legs. Maybe he asked the chefs or server for it. But, man, he devoured them. Oh yeah, if you need a seafood or crab shell cracker, you'll need to request one from a server, host, or manager. Soups and other hot dishes were also available. They had a sprinkle of American food. Oh yeah, if you need a seafood or crab shell cracker, you'll need to request one from a server, host, or manager. Desserts: For desserts, they had cakes, ice cream, Popsicles, golden mantou with condensed milk (a childhood favorite), and fresh cut fruit. Service: The staff was friendly, and my waitress was attentive. She consistently cleared empty plates and made sure I had everything I needed. Interior Design: The interior is bright, spacious, and clean, with high ceilings and wide walkways that make the space feel open and comfortable. Seating is spread across two large dining areas, with a good mix of booths, tables, and larger setups. It works well for all group sizes, whether you're dining solo, as a couple, with family, or with a large party. Final Thoughts: I would definitely go again, especially once the bar area is fully set up. It's for sure one of the better Chinese buffets, I've gone to! read more

The food wasn't bad -- the flavors were decent -- but the pricing just didn't feel reasonable. They charged a $45 holiday price, which would have been fine if it had been clearly stated from the beginning. However, the sign for the holiday price was posted almost an hour after we were already seated, after the restaurant had opened, and even after we had already eaten and paid. It felt unfair to update the pricing that late. Overall, the food was okay, but the transparency and timing of the holiday price change really need improvemen read more

The food service was amazing, but it felt some of the fresh fish servings were too small had little old lady push my dad out of the way just for some oysters while he was literally like first in line. Other than that I think they should change the location of the plates. read more

We were there for late lunch yesterday and this is our second visit . I had bad experience with the lobster, coconut shrimp and crab claws, dungeon crab just tasted like the seafood was dead when cooked. Luckily I did not swallow them but husband had a stomach ache. The chicken wings and corn was good. The dim sum items were not of quality. By the time they put the snow crab out, I was full on all the carbs. The atmosphere is great and the food display was appetizing but the taste, not sure. Don't eat the seafood and you'll be ok . read more

Great selection. Crab and lobster all over the buffet. Tons of shellfish. Not to my taste to cut the shells before steaming bc the flesh gets waterlogged and/or grainy and dry, but I guess this is a volume thing. Enjoyed fresh hibachi and soup station. Chinese dishes and sushi were solid. Didn't have egg room to try dim sum this trip. Daughter loved the dessert line w frozen treats and a chocolate fountain. read more

This place actually is better than a lot of Asian buffet,before their price is kinda high but now they reduced it! I think with that price you can't complain too much! Customer service is ok. I will be back if I am this area! read more

The fries were crispy, and the BBQ chicken was tender and full of flavor. But that seafood boil? Wow. It was packed with shrimp, crab, sausage, and corn totally the star of the meal! read more

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon - Price for 1 person - Buffets Near Me - Richardson, Texas

i was pleasantly surprised by this buffet. for $28 you get an assortment of sashimi, hot dishes, seafood. the quality of the sashimi was genuinely not bad, and i enjoyed the grilled oysters and ginseng soup a lot. some of the workers are more generous with the lobster than others. i think the dessert selection may be lacking and certain hot foods closer to lukewarm but everything else makes up for it. i went around 2pm and there wasn't a ton of people. overall was clean and well run. i definitely ate more than $28 worth of food. read more

Basic Chinese Buffet. The seafood was very bad. The crab that they "rave" about in advertisements are overcooked and very chalky and dry. Great Price however $20 per person for the lunch is a great deal but food was average. read more

Service was impeccable and it was clean and with tables spaced our enough where people would have room to walk. Food flavor was good except we would have to get up several time to check on items if they were ready. Overall it's good for the price read more

1st it was very clean. The food was a little disappointing. Crabs on ice not hot, no won ton soup or egg rolls. They do have spring rolls. Ribs had good taste but dry. The cook at the Mongolian bbq was gone, so could not have fresh stir fry. He did return as we left. Desserts were so so. Blue bell ice cream good touch. I drove 38 mins to try it. Not worth the trip for return visit. read more

I have been to this buffet on a few different occasions, but this past Memorial Day weekend, I will not be returning.The reason why I won't be going back is because I have gotten food poisoning from their seafood, including a family member. I understand it was very busy, which this time around I noticed the seafood wasn't fresh at all . A day later, I woke up nauseous, and got sick. I was sick for a few days read more

Food was okay many options yet not many good options. The waiter kept taking our plates when we weren't finished,there was still lots of food on the plate and she didn't even ask if we were finished with the plate. When we had the dessert plate she tried taking it with 3 pieces of uneaten cakes when my child was still visibly eating from it. Side note when i first sat down she threw the straws on the table. Very weird. The ambiance is pretty just acknowledge they measure your kids by height and not age if he or she is taller than 4'5 they charge them as adult prices. read more

Excellent Chinese cuisines with reasonable prices . Seafood and Din Sun are fresh and delicious.

food was well seasoned disappointed about the lobster service was a 4 group rated everything as a 6

I come yesterday Thursday with my daughter she 10 year old, the front service say she will full price. My daughter wears high heels, It's still not high enough to reach 5 feet. I say it ok , the people service table , I ask crab claw tree lady say don't have , the next table she bring for them. I ask another waiter she bring for me , I come 4 time there the food it ok because price only 26.99 . But service very bad over 4 time , I will thing be back or not read more

Went on a Sat night. Love all the selections but the lobster portion was very small, cooked crab was very tasty but way overcooked. Sushi/Sashimi was good. Some of the cooked food was toooo salty! Mapu tofu, lobster shrimp, bok Choy was delicious. The BBQ pork buns were disgusting. And why do they have tamales? They just need not to over salt/MSG their food. read more

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

Very good food, atmosphere and customer service. Not your typical buffet which is why we liked it so much. Food was fresh.

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

Bad service, expired seafood, quantity over quality. Anyone that goes eat at this repeatedly simply has no self respect. Paying so much for cheap spoiled food. read more

The best dish was the raw fish..... and it was frozen. Most of sea food were not fresh. All of the dish were missing the most important element..... tast. None of the dish had much tast. Such wast of material. read more

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

There's a lot of food. Half my family is fine the other half is having diarrhea and naseuous. I would choose somewhere else

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

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

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

My family went to the buffet including my 77 year old mother in law and 11 year old daughter. I was expecting to get get kid pricing for both of them, since they are both under 4.5 feet tall and eat like a bird. I was told that a child is considered 10 and under, even though it's not listed anywhere on their website or signage at the restaurant. Also, the senior discount was only $4.10 off. So, I paid $52 for each of them to eat about a 1/2 plate each. I knew they both had small appetites and that my daughter is a very picky eater, but didn't expect to have to pay as much for them. We will not be going back to this buffet. 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 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

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

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
