    I was so excited to try this buffet after seeing the viral TikTok videos, but unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. The seafood was the biggest letdown. The lobster, crab, crawfish, and sushi/ sashimi did not taste fresh at all. In fact, I ended up going home with a very upset stomach, which made me question the freshness of the food I consumed at this place. If you're coming here for the seafood spread as advertised, just be very cautious. The hot dishes like the orange chicken, fried rice, and vegetables were okay--nothing memorable, but at least they were edible. The service didn't help the experience either. Our server seemed unhappy to be there and had an unfriendly attitude the entire time. Overall, the buffet did not live up to the hype/ expectation. I came in with high expectations because of the viral videos, but I left disappointed and feeling sick. I won't be returning.

    This place is pretty large. We realized that it was our 1st buffet since Covid. We got there right before the wait started to grow. There are lots of options, lots of seafood. I enjoyed everything that I tried with the exception of the ribs, which is understandable considering it's not a bbq spot. The price makes sense as well, with all of the crabs (chilled), lobster and shrimp options. Snails, mussels, catfish nuggets, and some sushi is also included. The boiled crawfish seemed to be a hit. Don't expect them to taste like a crawfish boil, however. Lots of friendly staff with great service. I was so full at the end, the only dessert I could manage was a marshmallow because why not. It was part of the chocolate fountain display. At one point, I did see someone walk by with what appeared to be cotton candy. Kids would love that, but like I said, it was only that one time. So, I don't know if it's something that's consistent in regard to the buffet. Definitely worth a try.

    I absolutely hate buffets, but I had to try this place after seeing a Facebook ad for it. I was not disappointed. It was very clean, had just about anything you can imagine with an Asian twist (if not always an authentic dish). From sushi selections and dim sum to barbecue skewers and more, this place is worth the try. The server was very attentive, quietly lurking over the back of a nearby booth to keep an eye on her customers. Take the chance and visit.

    Tested our luck and surprisingly didn't have to wait to get seated on a Friday night! The service was also really nice. The food was good, especially considering how popular this place is. My only complaint was that the walkways around the buffet were pretty narrow, so be prepared to say "sorry" every time you're trying to turn a corner We also got really lucky because they had both snow crab and stone crab! Overall, I'd definitely recommend trying this place at least once.

    We went on Memorial Day for lunch service, there was quite a crowd, but we only waited 26 minutes. For $28 this is a solid chinese food buffet. They ran out of crab, but they were the small kind that takes a lot of work. No one is running a profitable all you can eat buffet selling large crab legs for this price per head; that is to say, my expectations were well met. The service was warm and efficient and the tables were turning decently, there was no pressure to move at all. The food was delicious, definitely will be back when Im in the area.

    I finally got to try this Asian buffet for lunch on Friday. The price was $23 including tax and tip if you don't order a drink other than water. For that price, I felt like the variety and quality was good. There is so much variety in fact that you will not have room in your stomach to be able to try all the items. I would recommend walking around the entire buffet if it's your first time and then strategically picking items you like the best first. I started off with the nigiri sushi first. The chef was making them fresh at the bar and kept the buffet plates full. The flavor/quality was good and I enjoyed that they did not add wasabi. The yakatori was one of my favs. I tried both the beef and pork belly and they were both delicious. You could really taste the smoke from the charcoal. This item did require a little waiting. They had a wide variety of items for dessert, including fruit and cakes, a chocolate fountain, and even sherbet. I didn't get a chance to try the stations where you get to make your own soup or stirfry but they look good. Items I would avoid: Crawfish was dried out. Crab dishes aren't worth the effort. Pizza of course. Cons: You will eat way too much.

    I was really excited to try this place since it was new, but unfortunately ended up a little disappointed. They advertised sushi, but there were barely any sushi selections available. There were one or two items I really wanted to try, but they were finished and never restocked while we were there. Some of the food items were hit or miss in terms of taste. The overall concept is great though since they offer a variety of foods, and the dessert section was nice, especially the chocolate fountain. I would still suggest trying it once to see how you personally like it. It just probably wouldn't be a place we would return to, but I'm still glad we checked it out.

    Honestly, all of this--and more--for $28?! And yes... that includes lobsters, oysters, and even snow crab! Came in on a weekend around 6PM and the wait wasn't bad at all, which was a pleasant surprise. Food-wise, there's a lot of variety. They have dim sum favorites like spareribs, bean curd, and those cute piggie custards (I forgot what they're actually called). There's also a ramen and noodle area with different options, a Mongolian grill and teppanyaki station where they cook it fresh, plus sushi, soups, and a good amount of seafood. The dessert section is actually decent for the price too--ice cream, pastries, fruits, a chocolate fondue station, and even a cotton candy machine, which was a fun touch. Service was solid. Our waitress was accommodating and made sure we were taken care of. Ambience is what you'd expect from a busy buffet--lively and a little chaotic, but overall clean and well-maintained. The bathroom was clean too, which I always notice. Overall, for $28, you really can't beat the variety. It's not luxury dining, but it definitely delivers on value and options. I'd come back when I'm craving a little bit of everything.

    We have tried this place during lunch time and then dinner. We preferred the dinner time. They have lobster during dinner. The have a noodle station, dimsum station, sushi, bbq skewers, stir fries and dessertFood is good but they are slow in doing refills.

    The COOKED food was ok. The seafood was HIGHLY questionable. My friends and I went for lunch and they had all the food already set out nicely by the time the restaurant opened at 11:00AM. My friend and I grabbed some crab that were sitting on the ice to try. First bite into the crab I immediately recognized the weird taste... the meat was "crumbly" and it had a weird flavor. I tried the crab tomalley (the stuff inside the shell) and almost gagged since it tasted so bad. No more seafood. A friend reached out to me afterwards and told me he and his family tried the lobster at dinner time and it smelled and tasted bad. I think this place just serves bad seafood... I mean it makes sense in order to keep costs down. The other items are your typical buffet fare. Nothing special. I did like some of the dim sum items.

    I first saw this buffet restaurant on Instagram, and the food looked amazing in the videos, so I was really excited to try it. I'm glad to say it lived up to expectations! This is not your typical low-cost Asian buffet you often find around the U.S. The quality here is noticeably higher, with more unique items that you don't usually see at standard buffets. The food is delicious, fresh, and well presented. The restaurant itself is also clean and spacious. I was especially happy to find some authentic dishes like oyster pancake, taro sago dessert drink, and more. My favorite was the sweet fried sticky rice cake--so good! I've been here twice now and have had a pleasant experience overall. One issue, though, was with one of the waitresses. She stood very close to our table for extended periods, close enough to hear our conversations, which made us uncomfortable. We kindly asked her to step away, but she returned to the same spot shortly after. It felt like our personal space wasn't being respected, and I think this is something that could definitely be improved. They've recently lowered the weekday lunch price for adults from over $20 to $18, and they also offer 15% off for seniors, which is a great deal. I'd definitely keep coming back with my family if they maintain this pricing. If the price goes back up to over $20 for weekday lunch, I'd probably visit much less often.

    Valentine's Promotion- February
    Lynh B.

    They are having February Promotion ($17 for lunch, $25 for dinner and $28 for weekend) which is very worth it. They have a whole lot more varieties of Chinese dishes than normal buffet like King Buffet or Flaming Buffet, but of course higher price. ($38/pp) Their food is fresh and made in small patches so they always run out fast and need to wait a bit between refills. The tastes are better and more authentic (Chinese dishes, sushi, skewers, hot pot, hibachi, sashimi etc.) than other Chinese buffets around.

    Jessica L.

    Mm I think this spot is between a 3/5 and a 4/5 for me! I really like how spacious and clean it is here, and they definitely have a large selection of dishes to offer. But i think there wasn't really much that stood out to me! I did like their pork belly dishes and the taro sago dessert was good! They do offer a lot of seafood options like crab legs, mala crawfish etc, and I did like the herbal soup they had too! If i was in the area and in the mood for a buffet I'd stop by! It is a bit higher priced than other buffets but I think its to be expected because you do get a lot of seafood and sushi and other dishes included so I can see it being worth it! c: Service was also attentive and friendly. Overall an ok experience!

    Hands down my favorite Mediterranean restaurant I've been to in DFW. Everything is always…read moreconsistently fresh and flavorful. The sauces are amazing - tzatziki, hummus, baba ghanoush, and more. I personally love the chicken cooked in a yogurt sauce, roasted cauliflower, and chickpea moussaka as my top standouts, but truly there are too many delicious things to name. I love how many chicken options there are as someone who isn't crazy about beef or pork. There is also falafel and plenty of beans for your vegan/ vegetarian friends. There were markers for allergies / preferences on the labels, but I didn't attend too closely as I don't have dietary restrictions. They have tasty rice pudding topped with pistachios and fresh fruit as something sweet to pair with your meal. I enjoy the lentil soup for dipping pita bread in. All you can eat buffets are always the best for getting to try everything and making everyone in your party happy. It's a bit on the expensive side (around $25 per person before tip), but it's totally worth it for special occasions. Within the last year they've redone the seating inside, but the food quality has stood the test of time!

    Saturday night -with a reservation 12 people. 5:30…read more Most of us were not prepared for a buffet rather than menu ordering, but it worked out as you could try a variety of items. Drinks are self-serve fountain drinks, water or wine. Good variety of food and each was well labeled. The gyro meat was tender and flavorful. The olives were good. Several in party disappointed not to see chicken shawarma or baklava on the menu. Lamb stuffed grape leaves were flavorful. The rice ones were good. Staff were are helpful and friendly . They cleared your plates quickly. They explained dishes. Chairs were sturdy/hefty wood with leather straps for back and seat. A few chairs sank when sitting.

We're regulars of EG Steak up in Plano/Frisco, and I found that a much more ideal experience. PROS: - Brazilian Lemonade was very good, I was left wanting for more - Shrimp was available as an option, which I find unique for a Brazilian steakhouse - I enjoyed the picanha and the garlic steak CONS: - The atmosphere of the place is simply less formal than desired for what you're paying. It feels a bit like your local Italian joint. Tables are close together, full light blasting, cheap tablecloths and incorrect labels on the stuff at the buffet - Most of the meat we got came to us lukewarm. I only got one piece of meat that was hot - Our service wasn't very great. We kept getting repeats of the same lower quality meats we didn't enjoy, kept getting repeatedly passed up by meats we did want despite our green table indicators and trying to get the guys' attention, and couldn't really get anyone to come to our table very often. - Some of the meats just weren't good. The chicken, for example, was salty and inedible. I also found the texture of the sirloin very, very tough. The lamb was relatively flavorless. - I don't know how much of this I can attribute to the restaurant themselves, but on a Friday night, this place was littered with kids and large families that weren't under control. Kids running around, listening to YouTube videos on full volume, etc literally right next to our table. - My partner noted that it was my birthday, having seen some of the reviews about this place making it a special occasion. It wasn't acknowledged, not even a "happy birthday" from any of the staff. Overall, for just $15 more per person and a half hour drive north, just go to EG by Stonebriar. Definitely a more elevated experience for the price point.
