East Buffet - The food - Chinese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Pros- they have sushi! They have an area to cook your own bowl of food (protein, sauce, veggies). They have like 8-10 rows of food in the buffet area with salad, meat, seafood, desserts, and much more. Restrooms are adequately clean. There's a mixture that's stuffed into small crab shells and sometimes it's delicious! Sometimes it's not. Cons- there will always be a child screaming bloody murder. It seems that one child can never be happy and will have unlimited fits of screaming or crying. Sometimes the sushi is old. Overall, the price is reasonable, and usually the place is decent and clean. But take headphones or something to block out the baby crying. read more

East Buffet - Chinese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Do not go here. Poor food choices. 17.99 a person is outrageous. Food is bland. No plastic silverware.

My family and I have always came to eat here. Today we are here and all my food is bland. Don't taste like it use to. My mom asked one of the guys at the sushi bar if they changed the cook here and he said yeah. They are scared to say something because it's one of the family members that took the cook position. Guess this place can kiss their customers goodbye if it doesn't change. The girl up front is rude too. There wasn't anyone in the front to greet us right away like they use to do. Sad to see this place go to the dumps. read more

First of all, as of Thursday, March 27 2025, me and my family just went into this place and the lady at the front was being racist to us?? My Mother asked if they had a restroom for my sister to use before we eat she said "Do you guys have a restroom here?" and the lady acted like she can't understand us (probably just because we are african american so she did not want to serve us.) and told us to go to kroger. although the second review on apple maps said "they have a clean bathroom" so idk why she told us to go to kroger.. then my mother said that we want to eat there and the lady started helping another family before us, and when my mother said that the lady once again acted like she cannot understand us but she was speaking perfect english to the other family. i don't like this place at all. we just left and did not eat there. read more

The food was slightly above okay, I'd say probably a 6.5/10. The desserts are not good but everything else is pretty tasty. Service is a mixed bag, few waitresses look happy which I appreciate but others looked like they were in auto pilot or annoyed. The ambiance is another thing I don't really like. It's so dark inside, walking in is nice and illuminating but as you go deeper it's like they try to give off the appearance of a club. However honestly I doubt most go to any buffet for the atmosphere, this place is pretty affordable for the food they offer. read more

Literally the WORST food ever. The Food is cold, OLD, STALE, AND NASTY. Instead of fixing the problem because they serve horrible food, they want to blame the customer and act like we're in the wrong for making a complaint. The crab meat inside the sushi rolls were very dry like it's been sitting out for far too long. The manager/lady was super rude but actually tasted the sushi roll, didn't say anything and immediately ran behind the counter and opened the fridge back there. They dumped the old crab meat and refilled the pan to the top trying to save their rears and pass it off as "fresh" but clearly that's not the same crab sticks that was in those rolls that have been sitting out. She knew it was bad when she tasted it, the look on her face and her actions said it all. You know it's that BAD when their own employee/waitress has to have outside food delivered for themselves. They take no accountability for serving horrible food and throw the blame on customers and that is not how an honest legitimate business runs. GO ANYWHERE BUT THIS PLACE. It's terrible and the people are worse than the food. read more

this is one if not the worst buffets i have ever eaten at i just feel the food poisoning bruing in my stomach i could not even finish my first plate without getting up and just simply leaving, the bathroom is disgusting there was nasty LED lights in it with loud music i do not recommend ANYONE going here for ANYTHING read more

East Buffet - disgusting - Chinese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Food was delicious and the service even better I would recommend it and it's really clean and has clean bathrooms as well

staff didn't listen or check on us everything was either dry or soggy ex the Mongolian pork was practically beef jerky and everything was just unsatisfactory read more

I came here during lunch and I should have yelped this place first before even stepping in. They have a variety of selections to choose from but from what I've tried on the Chinese buffet menu, it was disgusting. The meat from the pepper steak seemed to have been soaked in baking soda for days or something because it had a slimy texture and was quite chewy. The other menu options like the sweet and sour chicken were gross because I had to spit it back out since the batter was gooey and just bland. I had to just nibble and cautiously sample bits and pieces of everything else I had put on my plate. I would say this was the worst Chinese buffet I've ever eaten in all my life. I think Cup Noddle would have been better. Fire the chef! Eat at your own expense when you come here, but you have been warned. read more

It was just ok.... Nothing fancy... ample of place to sit.... Waiters were friendly...nothing so great about the food.... Standard Chinese food... read more

The restaurant is affordable and clean. However there is up charges for the cook to prepare a custom fresh fish it's only $2 extra and they ask you to tip the chef too. The salmon was good and Fresh however not enough flavor it was bland. I didn't try the crawfish but I'm sure that should have been straight. I mean how can they mess up crawfish. The fried biscuits good cheese puff good. The jello was good. Egg roll good. The grapes wasn't seedless and wasn't horrible but not sweet. pineapple dry not sweet a number of things wasn't on point the rice was watery I have never. I just experienced an after taste in Many options . I didn't like a number of things such ass the stuffed crab horrible. The fried fish wasn't horrible but it had after taste the chicken on the stick had bad after taste many items wasn't on point even cake had weird after taste I was shocked maybe not fresh I was thinking it Has to be some explanation I know I'm not tripping . Waitress was nice. Gave refills and host placed me at requested seating which was by the outlet to charge my phone. They had me pay after I ate which was good It showed respect. Peppermints Was to the front and fortune cookie given as well. I don't know if they had icecream i Wanted some. Couldn't try everything. The restaurant is affordable as well but the food quality, They got 2 points off for the quality because it was most of the food wasn't so good. read more

Service is amazing. Nothing else is. Snow crab legs tasteless and old stuck to its shell and they didn't use ANY salt or seasoning. Meat on a stick was almost inedible as it was clung to the stick like it was cooked 4 days ago and just sat under the heat lamp. Staff was attentive and restaurant was clean. It's decent as they do have some fresher options... the pizza looked sad and dry so I wouldn't recommend it. I will only eat the Mongolian grill if I were to return. That and desserts. They have enough selection read more

I come here and get to go but I love it, they have an amazing selection of food, I love the coconut shrimp, and it's just awesome.

Great variety of delicious and nutritious food .With great service with a smile great vibes and music and entertainment television .

The variety of food is incredible, with everything from fresh sushi and seafood to classic Chinese dishes like General Tso's chicken and lo mein. The food was hot, flavorful, and consistently replenished, even during busy times. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure the tables were clean and that we had everything we needed. The atmosphere is casual, perfect for family gatherings or a quick meal. I'll definitely be coming back!!! read more

Horrible service! The waitress never checked up on us for refills, never picked up our used plates! It was the worst customer service ever! The sushi was terrible! Egg drop soup had a funny taste to it! Will never come here again!!! read more

The food is very salty, everything is flavourless, and not much of a selection. I could not find a single dish that I liked. I got full off of trying the dishes and not being able to stomach a thing. The music was nice. The servers are very nice here. read more

Waiter was great and so was the food!! Hot and fresh. Place was clean and comfortable.

It is always concerning trying places like this, but I have always been very pleased within the place. They keep it clean and neat, the atmosphere is great, and food is better. They have the BEST chicken nuggets and egg drop soup I have ever had in my life. I never get tired of this place! read more

The place is clean. At 11:45am the food seemed like it may have been leftover as it was tough and dry. The chicken smelt like fish. Rice was good. I had the grill prepare some vegetable lomein. The grill must've been dirty because it tasted burnt and there was dirty remnants on the ingredients. read more

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! The experience we had was the worst . When you walk in the air conditioning is humid and warm, the lady host in the front is not welcoming. She had an attitude taking our drink order . The food was bland and some of it not cooked all the way . They also charge for 2 year olds. I will not be going back . We came here because our preferred buffet on veterans memorial and 1960 was further away. But we will make the further drive next time . read more

Me and my family have came here since it opened and was honestly good but now all the foods are dry and it tastes horrible last time I'm coming here please save your money read more

Please consider the time you come in, let it be busy time. So you can get fresh food. I believe the options they serve are more than any Chinese buffet I've been to in Houston. They are super yummy. I definitely * recommend and come often read more

The reason I am giving a three star is because it's a really nice clean buffet for the families enjoy and employees come to check and clean tables but I complain because some of the foods had no flavor: chow mein and rice and chicken even the fish and soups!! No seasoning plain!! and the tables were pretty small but I would go there if there's no other restaurant available to eat but China bear is way better more spacious and stores and extra fancy place the food is more Tayser and it cost the same price read more

Food selection was great* The seafood is offered in colossal .. Prices are reasonable.. Ambience is comfortable.. If only the location were closer to west Houston it would probably get 5 stars! Save room for fresh fruit and chocolate fountain* Sn: Snow crabs offered during weekends for a $1 upcharge read more

Just no. This place used to be good, like several years back. Went recently after a 3-4 yrs absence, and the quality of the food went way down. The meat was dried out in several dishes, sauces too sweet, some items overly salty, the vegetables limp and sad looking. The soup was good tho. Perhaps the grill is the way to go for fresher items. The wait staff were friendly, attentive, quick in refilling drinks and clearing off plates. read more

Food was good, service was great, nice people, lots of food to pick and chose from, it's nice and quiet my only complaint is the pistachio ice cream is really spicy read more

This is a review for this establishment that is NEW. You really can't judge a place until it's been open at least 6 months and you've had your third visit but I'll jump the gun and tell you the experience. Parking is plenty, even though it shares spaces with multitudes of businesses you won't have a problem....just don't leave your valuables inside, you'll see what I mean when you get here. The buffet prices are listed on the wall to the right as you walk in and I believe the average price is around $12. Cleanliness is not a problem yet because everything is new and everything works, so far. The buffet items are pretty much the same things that you get at any other buffet. Most honorable mention might be the chocolate fountain like Golden Corral's and the extra large "Hibachi" type grill that seems larger than most. The selection for this grill seem conservative but you can still get enough. There are 8 food islands in which two of them notably are taken up by the desserts and next to them is the chocolate fountain. You should let your kids loose here and pick them up after you've eaten, they won't want to go far. Service was good, plates picked up within 5 minutes. You get a 10% Yelp discount when you check in so be sure to remind your server. I'm going to try to remember what was on the buffet even though they are almost the same thing you can get at any Chinese buffet: fried crabs, fried rice, fried chicken, spicy wings, fried bananas, pizza, french fries, crab puffs (actually, they're square and awkward to eat but still good), hot and sour soup, wonton soup, fish soup (this was actually the worst soup I've ever had in my life), fried noodles, crawfish, salmon, white fish, salads, ribs, ice cream cone machine, peppered steak and lots more I can't recall at the moment. Give this place a try before it wears out its newness. Fun Fact: "Studies" Suggest that restaurnt menus carry 10 times more bacteri/viruses than your average toilet. Don't forget to wash your hands after giving your order folks! read more

Ate there 3 times so much choices I never even got a taste of everything. I started with the sushi and cook shrimp! Tried several different soups. Before heading to the main course. My stomach ran out of room read more

I expect mediocre buffer especially from a Chinese buffet one hour before close but holy mojoly was I shocked when I went in (20-30th visit) and found that you pay first. Ok they explained they are just trying to close up quicker. That's fine. Then we walk into the food area and 30% of the trays are empty or not food just parts. The rest has been sitting. I couldn't eat the sushi. Looks like the sushi was dry and the trays were soaked like they spray them down. Ok fine... my girlfriend had one small plate and was done wi the place. I ate the Mongolian part and forced myself to eat to cover the 30 bucks i just lost. So I'm waiting for my 2nd plate to cook and they start vacuuming 40 min before closing... finally i had to ask them to stop because i could smell the vacuum smell as they were flipping chairs and vacuuming the next table and my food was ready to pick up. They stopped almost before i finished my request so i know they were aware it was wrong. We left halfway through my plate. I won't be going back. They skimp more and more each visit. read more
