Idk of you've ever worked the service industry or cleaned RR, but that's a very distinct smell. (Imagine cleaning your bathroom with nice soap that smells good & someone urinates in the middle of that.) Not a good 1st impression. Stink & food don't mix. Stick & Hibatchi don't mix. My nose isn't usually sensitive, durian fruit in an asian mart don't even phase me but that did. They tried to air place out, but still you could smell it a little. Other wise it was nice; very spacious yet cozy so it could accommodate both big & small groups. I loved the different fish set ups & decor. The light up ceiling was my favorite!! I ordered the Bamboo & Hot Mama rolls, they were really good. I was full after that, they have really good tea too. I may come back if in area again to see if smell was just 1x offense.

Empty trays for customers too. Enjoy a taste really good. The only issues. They need to work on the freezer for the ice cream because it was a bit melted. But other than that, I will come back better than China, bear y E china buffet is a great choice too.

They pour fresh food over old food and if anything spills over, the preparers put it back in. The owners need to pay attention. I'm just upset that I'm just noticing this. I won't be back. Waitresses inside are nice and that's about it. I understand that quality isn't a big deal at a Chinese buffet but this was pretty bad compared to the first visits.

Ling's Chinese Buffett never disappoints. I had not been here in 7-8 months and they not only…read moreremember me, but greeted me by name. Where can you find that today? Ling's that is where. Super Clean, freshly restocked common Asian Buffet fare. The crabs are delicious and the cold peel and eat shrimp jump out of the shell every time. See the video for the vast variety of food tonight. I am sorry that I did not photograph or video the sushi, cold Buffet or the dessert offerings but I assure you that you will not be disappointed in them as well. Seniors discounted a couple of bucks. Highly recommend for your go to Chinese Buffet fix. Seafood offerings, Crab, Salmon and a few other dishes after 3-4 pm and price adjusts accordingly.

Especially, my favorite, the espresso cake. I had gen tso, orange chicken, fried biscuit, crab puffs, I think it's garlic shrimp with shell. My friend very much liked the stuffed crab, the soup. Service excellent. Attentive, nice. Nice restaurant. There's a tree as you leave, good size tree, pink leaves. Also panda Hi and doggie Supreme. Cute. Restroom clean. We felt very welcome. Had a great experience. We'll be back and continue to bring our friends for a great buffet of Chinese food and other delicious foods offered.

Favorites that you don't see often but done very well here, frog legs, cold seafood salad, sashimi's, sushi and some cookie and cream mousse creation, chicken wings, Ramen and full hibachi.

Take this review with a grain of salt because I'm not a buffet person…read more Went on a Friday around 11:30 am and they was a steady stream of customers. Parking is shared in the plaza and was smaller than expected. The restaurant is fairly large - wide and the buffet bar is pretty big. There are the standard buffet options fried rice, lo mein, beef and broccoli, orange chicken, chicken wings, dumplings, egg rolls, spring rolls, etc and a good assortment of seafood - shrimp, fish, clams, mussels, and more. The usual battered and fried stuff. And of course pizza. There is a separate section of sushi - rolls, nigiri, etc. There is also a few soups and a small salad and sauce bar. They had Chinese bbq buns, custard buns and the Chinese style sticky rice (wrapped in banana leaf). There are dessert options too like ice cream, fruit, pudding, cakes, and slushies. They also have a hibachi grill and what they called a hot pot (but was more like a bowl of noodle soup). The hibachi grill noodles were good. There aren't a lot of options but plenty of meats. The hot pot soup (spicy) seemed to use a Sichuan style chili which altered the taste of the soup a bit. Get regular and add your own spice. The staff were friendly and attentive. It's a very far drive for us because we are in the city so not somewhere we'd go often but not against trying it again.

Panchos only attempts to do one thing and it does it perfectly. When I go watch a shark movie, I…read moreexpect to watch a dumb shark movie. When I go to Panchos, I expect to eat unreasonable amounts of buffet Mexican food. And they execute. It's the promised land of quickly made and quickly served flautas, tacos, enchiladas, and so much more. Literally so so much more food. Is there a better example of great service than being able to hoist a tiny flag and have servers rush to your table? Better ambiance than seemingly endless trays of food and fresh sopaipillas in the air? No. You can pry Houston's last Ponchos from my cold dead hands.

While in line with my friends at the buffet, I overheard two comments. The person in front of me…read moresaid that as soon as they saw the food, they knew it wasn't going to be that great. The person behind me said that they remember the place being more lively and now it felt kinda meh. Both were dead on. It's no wonder most of these locations closed. Pancho's used to be a Tex Mex institution in Houston back in the 90s. They were scattered around town, food was decent (as you'd expect from a buffet), service was excellent, and families could go there to eat their fill for cheap. The current version doesn't really match that. The buffet is still there, lined by items that were clearly pulled out of a frozen box and quick re-heated to be put on the line. They churn replacements fast, but the taste doesn't even live up to the buffets you'll find elsewhere in town. For those who haven't been before, you basically go through the buffet line once, then there's a little flag at the table and you raise it up when you need a refill of anything. They had two waitresses running orders back to the buffet line for about 30+ tables. The end result was that service was extremely slow, and we weren't even getting everything we asked for. Our waitress didn't had a pad and paper, so she was trying to remember two different orders from memory. I gave up and went back to the line myself to get a refill plate rather than waiting and risking getting an incorrect order. Despite waiting in line, it took about the same amount of time, but at least I got exactly what I wanted. They must know that the waitresses are understaffed and overwhelmed because others were doing the same. We'd heard about the sopapillas being a hit dessert, but didn't see any on the buffet line, so we grabbed what was there. Once we'd eaten our fill, the waitress suddenly reappeared by with a basket of fresh sopapillas and we had to turn her down because we couldn't eat them. I'm going to chalk this one up as a place that was worth visiting for the sole reason of nostalgia and realizing that it would not be worth visiting ever again.

I would've gaven a 1 star just for the person being mad about not tip. But food was decent.

We ate there last night and it was horrible. Allow me to…read moregive details: The best way I can explain it is this place is cheap, they don't want to refill food with fresh food. If a dish gets low, they just keep stirring what's left instead of pulling it and putting a fresh dish out for customers. The food that was out just tasted old, chewy and there was a smell in the restaurant that didn't help. Yes, there is Hibachi but no I did not want to try based on how bad the buffet was. Oh! Yes there is sushi and it was gross. The Unagi was chewy and dry. They were also stingy about what they had out in the sushi section and didn't refill it often. I would NOT eat raw fish here. Our waitress was awesome and refilled our drinks on time and cleared away dirty plates which is why I gave 1 star. Don't go here. Go someplace else.

My favorite place for Peking duck around the Houston area. It's a little farther out, but I usually…read morestop by whenever I'm driving to or from AIH. The duck is roasted for hours, so the skin comes out nice and crispy without being too greasy. I also like that the remaining duck is made into a soup afterward. It's simple, hearty, and especially good on a colder day. I've tried several other dishes here, and they've all been solid and remind me of the Chinese food I grew up eating. The servers have always been attentive and friendly, and the restaurant is spacious, so it's a good spot for family dinners or larger groups.

Where to begin? We stood a bit by the door waiting to be seated. Idk if they're short staffed or…read morethat's their reg staff. Which is wild cus they were running around that place nonstop. When we finally got seated we weren't asked What would you like to drink or this is our drink menu. It was-Water,right,right,Ok brb. So we had water just like the rest of the people in there. Also weird how they don't have any drinks on the menu or let you know about options. Could I have asked for something else? Sure but again waitresses were just all over the place it was crazy. When we ordered and others food was coming out we realized what big portions they give you. BTW just 'cus it's big portions doesn't mean This food is about to be the best Ive ever had. The food- We got some shrimp plate and we were told it was spicy because it has peppers and peppercorns which would numb your tongue which it was just basic shrimp dish. Only good or cool part of it was eating lotus root which Ive never had before. We also ordered the "special" house beef noodles and I don't see the hype or why they're so special. The only crazy part was the noodles length. Which honestly made it hard to eat. We ordered the duck which came with the soup. The soup was made from scraps. I think if they had added more duck and not just scraps it would be my fav thing of everything we ordered. Will say it tasted like chicken soup. For the duck. It wasn't as crispy as people made it seem to be. I expect idk a more gamey flavor to it and all I kept saying is-This taste like pork carnitas. Idk why we got treated than the table behind us. We asked for to go just like they do but they just gave them their to-go plates like Here ya go and they put all of our food in our to-go for us. Would I go back? Its one of those you say- Ok I've had it,had the duck,don't get the hype but ok not worth coming back again for more.

A friend and I were visiting Houston for a few days and were looking to binge on good Indian food…read morethat texan Indians are always boasting about. This place didn't disappoint. We ate our hearts out and enjoyed every dish we ordered. We started with goat bone soup which took me back to my childhood when we used to eat at the dhabas on the highways during our family trips. It tasted exactly the same, peppery spicy and delicious! We also had veg kal dosa, cut mirchi and gongura mutton curry. Cut mirchi was so delicately made and it melted in my mouth. Dosas were great with the gongura mutton. The quantities were generous and prices were reasonable for the quality. Service was awesome! I am officially jealous of the people who could eat this food whenever they want to.

The food was just okay for us. We ordered two dishes, one spicy and one very spicy, but…read moreunfortunately, neither had much heat at all. I expected at least some kick, especially with the "very spicy" request, so that was a little disappointing. The garlic naan, though, was really good and would've gotten more. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, but I don't think the food stood out enough for us to rush back.

Hello, I was in the mood for some buffet food so I went here thinking I was gonna get an egg roll…read moreand cheese Rangoon fix and possibly some nachos, but I was mistaken. This place has mostly home cook meals something like comfort food. I did enjoy the fried fish and the tartar sauce had a nice sweet taste to it. I did like the mac & cheese as it was creamy. The rolls were good with the honey spread and I tried to do a slushy, but it was super sweet so I ended up leaving after that, but the Arnold Palmer was very much worth the three dollars cause I was able to get two refills. The price was good for the two plates that I had and the only thing that was missing was I should've went to a Chinese buffet because that's what I'm used to. But don't let me deter you from coming here. They do have some good comfort food if that's what you're in the mood for. The crowd was mostly an older crowd cause I went on a Monday but if you're in the mood for this type of food, $13.99 is not that bad I think that's what my receipt said. Anyway, until my next review!
