Kicked out for wearing a face shield instead of a mask....for my walk to the table I have asthma. Went to the Golden Corral and had no such problems. read more

Today my wife and I came into eat, I purchased the buffet and she ordered the combination fried rice. After I came back with my food we had the hostess, two waitresses and a cook from the sushi bar watching me eat until we received the check. I can only assume so my wife wasn't eating off my plate. Money is not an issue I mean if it were we would've went somewhere nicer, food was good we just prefer we don't get stared at the whole time eating read more

East Buffet - Recipe - Buffets Near Me - Austin, Texas

Not bad at all. This is a happening place for a good reason. The price is very reasonable. Come in for lunch on a week day that's $7.99. Come in during the weekend and the price is just over $10. The service wasn't too great though but it's understandable considering how busy it was. I mean, it's buffet, the only thing the servers really need to do is fill up our drinks. Even if you're a picky eater, you're bound to find something you like considering the different kinds of dishes available. From crab legs, to ribs, to Mongolian grill, to your standard Chinese-American dishes. The sushi bar was a pleasant surprise. They had nigiri where the fish didn't taste that frozen. Nothing felt like the food had been out for too long. They were all hot and it looked like the staff kept refilling the trays with newly cooked food. If you're with a big crowd, want something cheap, craving an absurd amount of Chinese-American food, this is the place to go. read more

We went on Friday night and it was busy for a new place. Service: We were seated quickly and by the time we returned from our first trip, our drinks and silverware were already on the table. The servers bussed our tables quickly and would double check that we were done before they took dishes away. Seating: there is ample seating all over the restaurant. There is four big seating areas not including a party room set aside for those larger parties. This was a well thought out location. Setup: There were 6 standalone stations (salad, fruits/jello/pudding, appetizers, Chinese entrees, main entrees, and hot dishes) along with one 4 sided station (Mongolian grill, sushi, and desserts). Food: The chefs makes the Mongolian and sushi right in front of you and you can tip them so make sure to bring some cash. Since there were so many people, the other stations were constantly being refilled ensuring we were getting fresh food all night. Fruit/jello/pudding- the fruit was fresh and the jello was not at all watery like you expect from a normal buffet. Salad- not a completely traditional salad station as many were prepared cold salads but you can still make a small side salad if you want. Appetizers- all the small fried appetizers you can find in a Chinese restaurant from Fried dumplings, eggrolls, and even fried banana! There were a few non Asian options: potato wedges and chicken wings. Main Entrees- hot soups are available. These included ribs, pork chops, and salted crab legs (Fri and Sat). Hot Entrees- these were the crawfish, shrimp, stuffed mushroom caps, and more. Chinese entrees- this is where most of our favorites lie. Mongolian beef, general tsao's chicken, beef and broccoli, and so much more. Mongolian- while this is not as extensive as a normal Mongolian BBQ place it was still a good selection. I love that the meats were not frozen so you didn't need to become a food stacking master. Dessert- desserts were laid out as well as a soft serve machine for chocolate, vanilla and swirl. Be mindful it is close to the same ice cream you might receive at Benihana and not a traditional self serve you would normally get. Overall we were impressed with the service, quality of food, price, and how packed this place is for being open less than a month. We will definitely be returning to try things we missed this time! read more

If I could give this place a zero, I would. This place is DISGUSTING. first- the chicken, dry and rubbery with a weird aftertaste. The low mein taste like chemicals. And the service was horrible. They state for a lunch special it's like 9.99, yet for two adults I paid over $41. When I asked about this, the women snapped at me and stated "it's $20 for buffet and drink" and wouldn't give me an itemized bill. Not to mention- ROACHES. save your money and go somewhere else, this place is horrendous and will scam you out of your money. read more

The buffet line food is is mehh & that's not what keeps me coming back. The fresh Mongolian grill is really the winner here!!! Once I had the fresh lo mein I really had a hard time eating the stuff at the buffet line! The dinner food is a lot better than the dinner food! The fried crab is great!!! The servers are nice and the place is clean however my first two times going here I had issues with the server assuming I wasn't going to eat anymore so they take your silverware! Overall an OK place read more

East Buffet - Fresh Mongolian Grill - Buffets Near Me - Austin, Texas

We ordered a delivery East Buffet today and it was so terrible we had to throw it away and reorder new take out. We wasted over $50 but we're still hungry. Our order was egg rolls, wanton soup, donuts, beef broccoli, Lo mein, chow mein and fried rice. The wanton soup was just an oily broth and doughy wanton with some kind of gross meat. The chow mein, was just steamed vegetables- there were no noodles. The beef broccoli had chewy inedible beef that had WAY TOO MUCH SAUCE. In fact everything was just loaded with sauce and that sauce was all over everything inside the bags they delivered the food in. It was awful. Egg rolls=gross, lo mein = gross. The donuts were the only thing I had a few of. I'll blame my boyfriend for ordering take out from a buffet, but in his defense I don't think he knew it was actually a buffet. Ha. It was just super terrible food. We felt bad but we threw everything away aside from the few donuts I ate. Basically it was just gross, greasy, over sauced, food. I'm really disappointed. read more

SPOILED SEAFOOD! It makes me sad to have had such a disgusting experience eating what you see in the picture. I put a piece of crab into my mouth and had to immediately spit it out. I smelled it and it smelled foul, spoiled, bad - you get the drift. We have eaten here multiple times in the past but this will be the last. I asked for a manager. She left with my plate of food and came back saying they tasted it and it was fresh. Bulls***. I warn you to stay away from this place unless you want to get sick! read more

Ordered the chicken fried rice, rangoons, egg rolls and general tso chicken. Rice was okay, not horrible. Rangoons were good. Could be filled with more cream cheese mixture. Egg rolls were good. I'll give the General tso chicken a 3/5. I would try this place again but maybe something different. read more

I was craving Chinese food and decided to give this place a try. Do not go there unless you are into mediocre Chinese food. I should have drove a bit further to 99 ranch and eat at their fast food joint. 1st rule of Chinese food. DO NOT EAT SUSHI. My bf failed at following that rule and one bite in he almost threw up. It looked like normal sushi that been sit out for too long but per bf it was rotten. They did have a lot of hot food on display. Most of them was just meh nothing stand out. It mad me sad because they even have fried tilapia and short ribs. Do get their Mongolian though. It is the safest bet in the whole place and it tasted decent. I personally do not think I would return because I dont think that it worth my money. read more

Delicious! Huge variety of things to eat, quick seating, good service, and at a great price. Best buffet I've had in a long time. read more

East Buffet - All you can eat buffet and it's all the good stuff. Can't beat the quality or quantity at this price. Excellent restaurant! - Buffets Near Me - Austin, Texas

This nice lady gave us our seat and forks. When I got my food and got the fork out of the napkin... THERE WAS PINK LIPSTICK ON THE FORK. Do they not scrub well the forks??? That was disgusting I had to tell the server. read more

East Buffet - Pink lipstick!!! GROSS! UNSANITARY! - Buffets Near Me - Austin, Texas

Good fresh food, nice lighting. Amazing hibachi. Fried rice could use some work as well as some meats that don't stay as fresh but overall really good. Above average sushi selection always a plus. read more

Food was horrible. Fish was dried out, almost like jerky. The egg-rolls still raw. The sushi looked like it came from a 7/11 two weeks ago. All of us ended up with food poising. Don't eat there!! The owner can uses google... see below. All three people in my party had not had a meal together in over a month. The only thing we all had in common was East Buffet. If you need to get into smaller pants after Christmas eat here! Need to slip into a New Years Eve dress eat here a few days before!! Make sure you have a good book and lots of TP read more

On entering the building you are greeted by very friendly staff. The place is very clean and the food options are really good. You have some very healthy items to choice from if you are looking to balance out your meal. The Thai chicken was really good so I took a 2nd sample. The Mongolian grill area looked very appetizing, next trip. The only thing I didn't really care for was the egg drop soup, it wasn't bad just not to my liking of egg drop soup. Willing to try it again on the next trip. Over all this is one of the better buffet places that I have been too. I don't go to stack on the food onto one plate to see how much I can eat. I like to sample items as I go. Next trip I will try the sushi out. read more

Clean new restaurant. Felt kond of kaotic upon entering. But i am blamong the louding obnoxious group and not the est. Starting off with the sushi bar. I would have to rate as a slightly above average sushi bar. Very nice small selection. Smaller then others but better items to choose from. Enchiladas are trash. But why rate that im at a china buffet. Stuffed mushroom disgusting Stuffed shrimp over cook Thai chicken over cooked. Veggie eggrolls are amazing And the actual asian section. Is. Nicely put together with some amazing plates. As well as a grill where they make in front of you and an extensive items to choose from. Come here for good cheap asian If you venture off to their fusion section be prepared to be disappointed. If you have super high expectations for Asian food. This asian BUFFET. Is not for you. But the again if ypu have high expectaions. The any china BUFFET is not for you. With all that being said i will have to rate this a four and i have to say my frie ds over at china harbor across the highway are in for some nice completion. I will be back read more

Food is ok but I don't like their customer service. They have rewards system and instead of giving me 58 points, they only gave 5 points. I called and they said it is done and they can not do anything. The lady who answered their phone never apologized. I am giving 2 stars because of food, otherwise I'll give 1 star. read more

The food is delicious, the service is good, especially the manager, I will come again.

This place is new and food is great loved the sushi bar and everything else was great food had great flavor. The reason i am not giving it a 5 star review 1. the waiter i had was not very attentive took her like 5 mins to get my drink and never got a refill 2. The Mongolian bar was great concept only thing was that my chicken was not cooked all the way some of it was still raw Other than those 2 things every else was great food was hot and tasty read more

I'm glad to say the food is a lot better then my last post good job guys . Keep it up read more

East Buffet - Raw chicken - Buffets Near Me - Austin, Texas

Food is great. Lots of selections. The price is lower than any other buffet place in town. But I just heard from one of my friend who know how to speak Chinese. They say that cook in Mongolian pan curses and extremely trash talks to customers in Chinese when you want him to pan fry your materials. And my friend explain to me that he wants us to tip him. But I mean seriously, we usually tip after we finish the meal, besides we always bring cards not cash to eat a buffet. I can understand the cook want to get some tip, but the restaurant can not require only cash just like all Chinese or Mexican dudes always did. I usually tip 3 dollars in this restaurant which I believe it's appropriate number. But what that cook did is really rude and unprofessional. I don't speak Chinese but I have some really nice Chinese friends. But that cook sucks. read more

They were one of the first and only places to open durning the winter storm February 2021 in the area I stayed in. Thank you so much for that read more

Worst place ever! I got food poisoning and there's blood in the inside of the chicken and the noodles are dry and taste weird. I ate some of your fries and after eating one I saw that it had mold in it.that's disgusting I don't recommend I'm vomiting because of here now I'm going to the doctor tomorrow thanks I recommend buffet king the food there is good and doesn't have mold,blood on there food. read more

I love Chinese Buffets and it hurts that this one cant get the job done. I've ate here twice and the chicken taste like fish. I don't even care hat its low quality meat, but don't fry it in same vats or woks that you also fry fish in. read more

This restaurant is so sketchy. Why do they not have a locatable website. If you can search for buffet prices online, you will find lower prices for this East buffet. When you get to the restaurant prices for the buffet are much higher! The restaurant has their buffet prices on the wall behind you, so you cannot see them when you walk in. If you get coupons in the mail just know that even if there are no restrictions on them, they will make up reasons why you cannot use them. Very deceptive. read more

This place is good for a new buffet. The place is clean and everything tastes nice and fresh and at a good price! The location kind of sucks for us but i still recommend it for everyone! read more

Yo this place needs to be reported to the health department. I know someone who worked here and they told me all the nasty crap this restaurant does. Management pulls out anything with a shell on it (crab legs, crawl fish...) from the trash can and will wash it and put it back on the buffet cause they are cheap. So gross...I will never eat here again. read more

Very good buffet lots of tables lots of options. They have lots of veggies and fruits as well. Lots of options and they seemed pretty fresh to me. The table was cleared after every trip and they kept my glass full. I would recommend this place. If you like sea food they are pretty good for that too on Saturdays. read more

Amazing food at such a reasonable price! Took my niece and nephew being that were from Hawaii we are used to good Asian food and this place nailed it. The sushi was great but the crab legs and the crispy garlic shrimp was too die for!!!!!! read more

Disgusting and the waiters are rude. They are in a rush and seem like they really hate working their. Im pretty sure they laugh at ppl eating there because they know the food is disgusting or even how it's made. Good taste like dirty water and spoiled food. Definitely not worth coming or bringing your family. I found a fly in my jello here too yuck read more

It was bad because it wasn't the best it was The worst sorry but not to Lie the best is Panda Express it Way better but The orange chicken that they had this kind of gross but yay read more

I drive here all the way from Pflugerville just to eat some great food! Definitely recommend!

Listen to the bad reviews because they are TRUE. First time coming here and last. I wanted to try it out for myself and not influenced by other reviewers but after coming here I got to say I'm disappointed. Food didn't have taste! Although it looks like there's lots of options it's mostly fried food that is bland. Even our fortune cookies were soggy! Wth right? To top things off super expensive! $47 wasted! read more

Lots of options to choose from. Tasty soups and sushi. You can pick your own meat (as much as you want) and veggies to create your own stir fry at no additional cost. The sweet tea is always fresh. Most of the time the waitresses are very hard to understand with the language barrier and some of the booths will have trash from where it wasn't swept correctly. None of the dishes stick out too much to make me crave anything though. read more

The food was hot delicious and there was a good variety will be coming back the shrimp was scrumptious

$7.99 for lunch is not bad. The place is huge, and organized. The food is acceptable, mostly chicken and pork. But the customer service was bad tho. The staffs are foreign, they rolled their eyes and laughed at me when I tried to drop my plate at the Mongolian bbq counter in the wrong direction instead of helping me. read more

I haven't been to a buffet in years. Most have food that all tastes the same to me. This buffet ranked higher than any other chinese restaurant near here, so I gave it a try. My favorite part was the Mongolian part, very tasty, although I wish the egg had been cooked more and chopped into the other ingredients! The sushi was good, but not great! I got one of each, but didn't go back for more and I love sushi. All of the seafood dishes were tasty, except the crawfish. There was a lot of variety and everything was grouped together (appetizers, soups, stir fried, salads, etc). The staff was very friendly and attentive and the restaurant was very clean. I will definitely go back again. read more

Good buffet. Quality of the food could be better. I will say they have plenty of options.

I wouldn't recommend this location due to the fact that after eating here I was sick in bed for four days with food poisoning. I called up there to report it so others wouldn't get sick. They said they'd call back the next day and never did. Some of the cold food wasnt on ice and I think that was part of the problem. read more

My daughter and I visited Austin due to her having a job interview. I was looking online for seafood and happen to come across this restaurant. I was skeptical st first because back home (Charlotte) a lot of the similar restaurants are not good at all. This restaurant was totally different. Upon walking I notice the cleanliness. I even mentioned it aloud and before I knew it the host thanked me for the compliment. The food was really good and fresh. The counters on the buffet were really cleaned. Any spills or droppings were cleaned up immediately. The cooks kept the Buffett stocked and they were very friendly and helpful when inquiring about certain items. I wanted to stay in town until Friday for the AYC Crablegs, but we had to leave. I will definitely be back again and I have recommended it to everyone in the hotel! read more
