Sometimes the soda is a little watered down. But food is good for its price & I always appreciate the friendly faces

Half of the buffet items were at room temperature, and the rest were only barely lukewarm. It was honestly disgusting. Hot buffet food is supposed to be kept hot, and serving food at these temperatures is a serious health concern. My family and friends stopped going here several years ago because the food was consistently cold, but we decided to give it another chance. That turned out to be a big mistake. Nothing had changed. I honestly don't understand how a buffet can operate like this without the health department stepping in. We won't be back. read more

Excellent food and service. The ambience is a little old style but definitely I would comeback to this place to eat. read more

En En Chinese Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Corning, New York

They used to be good, but the food is not fresh and tastes watered down. Not much flavor. And they charge $14 for the buffet. Not worth it.

I will NEVER eat at this establishment ever again. My first encounter was to ask at the desk if the buffet was the same price for children as adults. The reply was basically acting like they were stupid and did not understand English. I'm sorry, but if you're a business in this country (especially a small town), all of your employees and upper management NEED to speak English!!!! Don't make your customers feel like they are the foreigners and unwelcome in that way in your restaurant. So my understanding is yes, they do charge $15.99 for children!!! Even if your child is 2 and may only eat a handful of food. I was asking because I was pondering taking TWO small children but that's not gonna happen now. This policy of not having child pricing is unacceptable!! NOT CHILD FRIENDLY!!! The food: was mostly cold. Not once did I ever see anyone monitoring the temperature of the hot foods. Taste was mediocre at best and those mushrooms were horrible! The service: the hostess at the desk was horrible. Two others came to her rescue (a tall man and another short woman), both looking as if they were there to help or just be nosey as to what was going on. They do played the dumb card as if they didn't speak English and had no idea what I was talking about. The waitress, she seemed kind enough and asked if everything was alright, but at this point I was thinking are you being nosey like the others and really don't give a crap so I just gave her shrugged shoulders. She walked away. She didn't even ask if there was something SHE could help with. She obviously didn't care either. The atmosphere: questionable. The ceiling tiles were disgusting, especially the area near the vents and the vents themselves. The TV hanging on the wall, NO. Simply because the older couple kiddy corner to us, kept watching the TV and it felt like I was being stared at the entirety of my meal. I wanted out of this place almost as soon as I stepped in. read more

Good is terrible , they are nothing like they use to be. They charge extra Friday and Saturday night because they have crab legs . Well good luck we were there over an hour waiting for them to bring some out , the only filled the crab legs once in an hour with a total of 10 crab legs for entire restaurant full of people . It was embarrassing. When I went to the restroom the 2 servers were laughing about it making fun of people . I will never be back read more

The food is terrible half was cold as ice this "joint" made me hate Asians food the fortune cookie I got was a dog piss on grey carpet color and tasted like a fart smells I would never eat here if you have an option but in life or death I am sticking with death read more

Typical Chinese food buffet, food taste ok. Floor, table and seat is sticky. Was seated next to a window, with a blind cords hanging next to the table. Since there was a small children with us, tried to remove that cord so our child doesn't play with that. When i touch that its very greasy and sticky. Hibachi station is open, waited the entire time of our visit, but no one was there to help us. So we can only grab food from the hot food table. read more

En En Chinese Restaurant - Tso chicken - Chinese Near Me - Corning, New York

This was my favorite spot to go as a child with my dad and brother. 10 years later and I still always visit when I come home from Florida. Brought my 84 year old father here today to enjoy lunch even while Covid-19 is still of concern and I was not disappointed. Super friendly staff and great food! I felt as if the restaurant, even though Buffett style, went above and beyond with precautions to make their customers feel safe. They serve the food for you, so you never have to touch a serving spoon or tong and hand you your plates as well! If you loved En En before continue to support the local restaurant! read more

Used to bring our kids here and it was awesome..wow has it taken a bad turn!!! Don't waste your money or put your health in jeopardy by eating here....Keep driving...Amazing buffet in Grand Central Plaza in Horse heads!!! read more

Service was good. Food was good. Ambience was good. Good price. Better than it was. Take-out menu available. Family friendly.

You get what you pay for. All the chickens taste alike, all the fish taste not-fresh, all the rice and Lo mein is greasy and soy sauce tasting. I did think their hibachi grill area was nice--you pick out what you want the hibachi cook to cook. Select from some thinly sliced chicken, beef, or pork, and add whatever vegetables and noodles and sauce you want, and they grill it for you in front of you. The service was nice and friendly, which is why I'm not giving it the 2 stars that I would if I were just basing it off of food. The bathrooms were kinda dirty and dark. They have a small selection of American food, and an even smaller selection of desserts which are mostly limited to just fruits and some petit fours-looking things. They have like 2-3 types of sushi rolls and they all had cream cheese in them so I didn't get any (I'm lactose intolerant). read more

the food was so bad it tasted like it was its been there for a long time don't come here it's so bad don't waste your money here the bathrooms are so dirty it's so nasty don't come read more

We went late at night for the re introduction of the crab legs and the food was all so good and plentiful. The waitress was amazing and did everything to make sure we were happy with our visit. The large clams and sushi is top notch. By far my favorite restaurant to go to. Never disappointed when we go here. read more

First off, I will not be going back as they make you wear face diapers and wear GLOVES to eat at their buffet! How clumsy it was and --we just lost our appetites after that. The food was COLD. And gross. The floor was so slippery I slipped TWICE--beware if you have a bad back or are an older person. This is a very dangerous place to walk. read more

Without question or hesitation, this is absolutely the worst Chinese buffet I have ever been to. The same goes for my fiancee. We stopped here last week on our way to my old hometown and we were getting hungry (it was lunch time). So after one wrong turn thanks to inaccurate road signs (which is unfortunately how we found out about this place), we get to the location, which was very hard to actually get to because there was a lot of snow everywhere and that made it hard to find a route to get into the parking lot, which had also not been plowed. As we are about to enter, we see a family leaving, all with smiles on their faces. I assumed it was because they must have had a great meal, but in retrospect it must have been because they were leaving this horrible restaurant! So at the entrance door, I look down, and instead of having a mat for people to wipe their feet on, they are using a pizza box. I kid you not.... that was our first clue that we should have run for it... however in our travels we've found that some of the places with the best food look the dumpiest on the outside, so our hopes were still high. We walk inside and what's this? We have to pay as soon as we get in the door? Smart thinking...no matter how your experience is, they've already got your money. Only one other Chinese buffet that I've been to had me pay before eating... I hope it doesn't become a trend. So I take one quick look around at the food, and things seem to look good. I see steam coming up from the food tables so I think that the food will be nice and hot....who was I kidding? The first thing I grabbed was bbq chicken on a stick (I think...) and I put my hand over it to feel the temperature and I get nothing...my fiancee walks by me at this point and i stick my finger right on it and tell her "it's not warm at all.... it's room temperature". Stupid me, I ate it anyway, along with everything else I put on my plate... vegetable lo mein, sweet and sour chicken, honey chicken, general tso's chicken (which tasted more like honey chicken than the honey chicken), not one thing that I put on my plate was even remotely warm. For my second plate (yes, I decided I hadn't had enough punishment!) I decided to get a plate of their food from their mongolian wok area. Ok selection of vegetables, not a lot of meats though. I asked for the server to put on teriyaki sauce, and he did, but then he poured on so much water that it washed the entire flavor away and left everything a soggy mess....I didn't think it was possible to mess up a mongolian grill meal but this place did it. I forgot to mention, I had downed my entire glass of pepsi before I had even finished my first plate. When I left the empty plate, the empty glass was very obvious too. I came back to find my plate gone and my empty glass still awaiting me. After eating half of my second plate (which was all I could stomach of the food), I finally was able to flag down one of the servers (of which there were five standing around talking, there were enough that each customer in the place could've had their own!) to finally get my refill. I gulped it fast to get the taste of the food out of my mouth and we got out of their as fast as we could after that. I would give this place negative stars if I could. Not only will my fiancee and I never be back, we advise anyone else thinking of coming here to avoid it like the plague that it is, as well! After eating here, it's a wonder I never got sick (though my fiancee did). There are better buffets around, I am sure. We didn't have a proper GPS with us or we would've waited until we found a better place to eat.... You may have thought of this post as funny, but not one word of it was meant to be. It was meant to be a warning. How this place isn't a rash on the restaurant inspection lists is beyond me. What my fiancee and I witnessed and experienced when we went would've completely shut down any other restaurant. read more

Awesome spot, great food and superb service. Friendly atmosphere and COVID compliant. read more

My friend & I go here weekly for lunch. The food is usually ok but lately the service there is horrendous. The last few times we've eaten there, they could barely be bothered to give you a drink refill upon request. We know that they get busy, may forget, etc and we are patient about getting it. Rarely it has barely been happening at all. The table we were at yesterday also did not have any napkins in the dispenser at the table. Other tables that you could eat at had napkins in them. And of course, definitely did not a drink refill as requested at least 3 times. Very disappointed. read more

I travel a lot for my job and I love Chinese buffets. I've passed this one several times ove rthe years and decided to stop today. It's a limited seection, but that is understandable what with Covid-19'going on. I've eaten at probably 100+ different buffets all over the country and this one is probably right in the middle. It wasn't super busy, plenty of parking. Lunch buffet price was $8.63 with tax, which is super cheap, especially for New York. I'll probably stop by again next time I'm in the area. read more

I've been hearing good things about this place for years and finally decided to try it one afternoon. I was surprised at how inexpensive it is (about $6-7 per person). The food was very good, even though I didn't try the hibachi grill that day. Their sushi isn't bad, considering this is a buffet. Some American foods were offered in addition to the Chinese fare. The servers were friendly and helpful. The only things I didn't care too much for was the faded, old decor, and the stench coming from the raw meat in the hibachi area. I'd go again. read more

I was out in the area for about a week to get some hikes in and probably had dinner here every night. The food and the price is pretty good. Highly recommend the hot and sour soup and leaving the pretentiousness at the door. read more

Budget Chinese food buffet in very basic surroundings. It's basically a spot to get your MSG fix on the cheap with no fuss. You can see the purple building (EDIT: Now it is beige) from the highway but to get to this restaurant you have to go through the auto part store parking lot which is not that intuitive. read more

Stay away! Bland, over cooked offering sitting under heat lamps for god know how long. Dinner is about the same price as a McDonald's value meal. Trust me - McDonalds is the better deal. read more

Nasty, nasty nasty!!! Food all gross! The women's bathroom stunk and was dirty even the dining room smelled bad. Literally the worse place I've been at to eat ever! read more

I love all the food there but my favorite is the crab legs and chicken and broccoli few other things

We live and work in Corning and eat at EnEn all the time. It's your basic, cheap all you can eat Chinese buffet. The highlight is their Mongolian grill. The food is never cold and the service is just what you'd expect. Beware of reviews containing a lot of hyperbole. Some people are just excitable. read more

One of the worse buffet i've been to. Food does not look appetizing and tastes terrible. I rather go to the wendy next door

This is very cheap for buffet (all you can eat). The Mongolian Barbeque is really good. I always tried this one instead from the buffet. Because this is just different from others. The place is nice even though it's very crowded at lunch hour because sometimes tour buses coming for lunch there. It's good..I really miss this place..! read more

Gross food in a gross building. My mother slipped on the greasy floor and hurt her knee and they did not even have any insurance. Horrible disgusting food I'd never go back. Worth the trip to horseheads for a good Chinese buffet. Avoid en en's at all costs. read more

The food is cold. Even the food direct from the kitchen was cold. The employee I told about this responded he saw steam. This was one small cloud of steam and he didn't care to hear any more about it. Where's the health inspectors? read more

Horrible service, one of the worst buffets I've been to, food does not look appetizing or fresh.

They have veggie spring rolls!! Outside looks run down, but inside the food is great!

It's okay. Went on Christmas eve when nothing else was open. Decent selection typical buffet fare. Ice cream was a plus. Staff was nice too.

Avoid this place!!! Not only is the food terrible, but the bathroom and place is filthy (mildly speaking). They brought glasses of ice tea and soda with minimal ice and the drinks were also horrible. My children and husband hated this place and food. We had visited the Corning Museum of Glass and everyone was hungry, so we thought we would try this place out. It was a terrible idea and we greatly regret doing so. I should have listened to my son when we drove up to the place and he said that it looked like a dump. It is!!!! My advise....look elsewhere. p.s. This place does not deserve even 1 star! read more

For 10 bucks a person all you can eat with drinks and 6 flavors ice creams, I feel it is more than I expected.

My son and I almost didn't eat here due to the negative reviews. Fortunately, we checked it out to see for ourselves. I don't understand the bad reviews as we found that the food is on par with most Chinese buffets. For my son, a vegan, he actually had more choices than normal and there were a few dishes like peanut encrusted chicken, which I hadn't had before. If you are looking for a decent buffet at a reasonable price, I would recommend this restaurant. read more

We paid in advance for our buffet and I remembered I had a 10 per cent off coupon that I forgot to give the cashier. I asked if we could still use the coupon expecting to hear no problem. Instead the man said no you are too late, next time. I can't do it. I said I am a business owner myself and that was not the right answer. Of course you can refund the sale and take our credit card again. He refused so I told him that we wanted an immediate refund. He not only lost a sale. He lost our business. read more

Went to this buffet two weeks ago and am still disturbed on it. The food generally wasn't bad. The decor was old, the carpets look and smell like they haven't been cleaned in years. If you can get over the smell of the carpet you should be good. Could be a way to keep people to one plate. I will not return. read more

This is a decent buffet to go to. The food isn't the highest quality but it is definitely eatable. There are nice booths to sit in and it is a very large building so it can accommodate large buses and still has room for regular customers. Sometimes the wait staff aren't the kindest but, overall, not too bad. read more

Go to En En's to satisfy your fatness. All of the greasiness of American style Chinese food. Certainly tasty, and budget friendly. But you will gain noticeable weight, so massive workout before eating may be necessary. read more
