I love buffets and been wanting to check out this location for a while. Parking lot is huge. Was seated as soon as I walked in. Food was ok. I wish they had regular chicken wings instead of spicy ones. Rice was dry. Fruit was good. It was ok if you're in the area but wouldn't go out of my way. Kinda pricy for dinner. read more

Great service over all drinks came so fast and food was excellent I will definitely be going back I recommend going here read more

Festiva Buffet - Friends - Chinese Near Me - Fairhaven, Massachusetts

Staff was friendly and attentive in the buffet included a wide selection of items including sushi and a customizable hibachi option. My only real disappointment was the ice cream as it wasn't the goodkind that comes in the tubs but rather imitation ice cream that comes pre-packaged and you are limited to one. read more

We showed up early around 11:30 so everything was fresh and hot. I got a hibachi plate, nice and spicy. The food is very good, you can eat well here without feeling heavy. It's not greasy like other buffets. The fried fish is perfect, there's cold shrimp, baked fish, an excellent salad bar with strange little pink deserts that taste like clouds. I did not care for the hot and sour sou, too thick. In this economy this place is an oasis of value and good flavor. The staff is very friendly too. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did read more

Food was okay, ice cream machine was down unfortunately. The service was very good though and the waitress was very attentive.

Quality was as expected honestly. Unfortunately the food just wasn't good at all. Fruit was great though. Won't be returning.

Service was decent- seater was pleasant. Food quality continues to decline- and the ice cream machine has been broken for about 6 months. It wasn't worth driving from Dartmouth for dried out food... and still have to find an ice cream place for dessert. Its dinner time, so one would expect fresh hot food for the dinner crowd- the beef was so dry, it was inedible. read more

Food and service were both very good.. Definitely going back.. Better than most Chinese food restaurants around.. The food was fresh and didn't taste like they don't change their oil like many places do.. Would like it to be open a little later. read more

Ok where do I start, my guy they have a whole hibachi with a whole dang chef, i 100% recommend this place my boy T boss from Martha's Vineyard recommended this place 10/10 thanks T. read more

Festiva Buffet - Egg Roll Egg Roll Egg Roll - Chinese Near Me - Fairhaven, Massachusetts

I have been on the hunt for decent Chinese /Polynesian food since moving to the city. I'm still looking... Today I ordered crab Rangoon chicken fingers egg rolls and egg foo young The crab Rangoon tasted ok but extremely small bite size if you will The chicken fingers well I would have been better getting nuggets from McDonald's all batter no chicken The egg rolls were so small matching the size of the Rangoon The egg foo young was just gross The "gravy" was burnt soy sauce and the patty was an over cooked scrambled egg So needless to say I am still looking for a place that has hood food along with quality and quantity. I contemplate driving 3 hours to "my old place" read more

My family and I visited here for dinner this past weekend. We didn't have high expectations whatsoever, considering it's a buffet, but decided to go for it. The waitresses were quick to bring drinks. The food could've been a lot better. Food courts in the mall have far better Chinese than this place. Lastly, and it was a total bummer that the ice cream machine was broken. I wouldn't return or recommend. If you're looking for local delicious Chinese food, try Wah May's in Fairhaven (you won't be disappointed!) read more

I am not recommending this place to anyone Everything is not good, nothing fresh at all. My wife and I got sick and threw up. Please don't go in this place read more

I went in not expecting much however I was really pleasantly surprised with the quality of many of the American-Chinese food dishes as the beef and chicken dishes plus the mushrooms and other veggie dishes were cooked extremely well for a buffet. The Chinese restaurants always seem to make Southern Fried chicken crunchier and larger portions compared to anything The Colonel has ever put out. Service was excellent and the best was the soft serve ice cream as it was the creamy soft serve like McDonalds, not like the water ice cream other locations may serve. Does not get a five as dessert bar is tired and boring and too much low end fast food (fries, chicken nuggets, chicken strips, etc) read more

Went there a couple weeks ago. The girl sat us on an unfamiliar side of the place. It was hot...like not enough a.c. She never said a word to us. We got 2 lunch buffets and 2 waters. When we paid the bill on our card and left...we made the mistake of not taking the slip. While viewing our bank statement, we saw a charge of $41 and change we paid . Lunch buffets are $12.99 each . So i went there and explained it all. Showed her my bank on my phone where they took it out. Didnt seem to care "no slip" she said.I asked if the owner was there ...nope. Now to me she could have said here's a credit for a lunch buffet . Or mention it when you come back. Nothing. Check your slips! We were ripped off... read more

Honestly you can't beat the volume of food at a $12 price point for dinner. I like their hibachi bar a lot. The guy always does a good job flavoring my noodle. Some of the station is useless to me...such as the American cuisine section...but it's easy enough just to skip them since there are enough other choices to fill me up. Waiting staff are attentive. They refill the drinks quickly and empty plates never sat on my table more than couple minutes after I eat my food. Only thing I don't like is the size of their booth. Seems to be very tight. Mind you I am not a big guy. With a family of four the discomfort of those booth is a deterrent. read more

I wasn't sure about this place with the mixed reviews but gave it a shot. The name is a little deceiving but it is a Chinese buffet with a few American dishes, The place is a little discombobulated and cut up weird but service is friendly. Hot tea is served in a pot with normal mugs, not Chinese tea cups but is hot and adequately strong. All of the dishes are pretty typical of a buffet and are hot and frequently replenished. The hibachi station has a lot to choose from and is a normal grill as opposed to the type where the guy cooks with what looks like pool cues. The ice cream machine after is a nice touch. read more

The food here ranged from decent to good, but the service really left something to be desired. They do not have enough waitstaff, so we waited probably 30min for our drinks. The waiter took our drink order twice, and still got it wrong. We also had to inquire about forks and straws, as none were provided. I don't blame the waiter though, it was incredibly busy and, like I mentioned, they need to hire more waitstaff. The poor guy was busting his butt, so he got a nice tip regardless. I'm cutting this place a little slack since they are new. I'll try it again in the future and update my review, and hopefully they will have worked out the kinks by then. read more

This restaurant has the worst service I had a birthday party for 23 they only had two people serving the food from the buffet it took entirely too long. The buffet was half empty when they knew they had the big party of 23 people in restaurant getting ready to eat. When they brought my birthday cake out from the back they had taken the candles and put them in the middle of the heart that said happy birthday grandma we love you the candles were in the middle of the heart completely covering the word grandma. We had to bus our own tables.Do not book your party here go to Peking Garden in North Dartmouth they have much better service and food the food was accessible. They thought a 10% discount would make up for ruining cake the discount was less than the cost of cake bill with discount was $342.58 read more

This place smells gross. Kind of steamy/fishy/fried but...funky? Not like a Chinese restaurant or even a seafood restaurant which both have distinct fragrances but generally not unpleasant but something else altogether yucky. The food is pretty unpleasant and unappetizing and the raw area looks decidedly dangerous. read more

I would not recommend going here at all. Think to the old Chinese buffet that was here, then knock the quality down about 5 steps and you have Festiva. The food was overdone and barely warm from the heat lamps. They claim to have Italian, but the only Italian I saw was garlic bread. The food selection was mediocre. The sushi was the best thing they had and that wasn't even great. 10/10 would not recommend. read more

This review is an addendum. I went here for the second time it was even more mentaler than the first time. Once again, the crawdads were plump n' scrump. The steamed salmon filets were supra-unicorn. Flaky n' cooked to perfection, bro. I can't over emphasize the "rip-off-ness" of "fancy/seafood" restaurants (like Legal Seafood) that charge 26 dollars or thereabouts for a puny AF salmon (or fish) filet that comes with some krappy-ass mash potatoes and green beans or whatever. It sux. It's just a waste of money and it makes a clown of the consumer. (I have officially boycotted fish entrees from most any restaurant). If you want great salmon come to Festivus Buffet and eat a two-foot slab for 12 dollars plus load up on hibachi stuff and bottomless sides and roast beast and egg rolls and mussels and, and, and... and whatever TF you want. Also, at FB were Buffalo Wings which were, of course, AYCE and they were outstanding -piping hot and FOTB, bro. The staff was friendly and helpful as hell. Head here, YELPers and fellow pigs. read more

Quick self service foods relatively good for a buffet but I would say lunch is better then dinner my own personal opinion. Needs to switch up the options though every now and again. read more

Food was great. Service was good! Lots of options including sushi and hibachi. definitely worth going.

Good buffet. I enjoyed the food and the wait staff was timely. Nice selection of seafood dishes as well as sushi. I was there on a weekend afternoon, very busy. Definitely will go back. read more

I've been there twice. There is a wide variety of foods. The prices are very cheap for a buffet and the food choices are what you would see at more expensive buffets donuts great for the area. The waitress' were quick even during dinner when it was very busy. Plates cleaned off tables fast and the waitress kept making my son laugh when he was being a little fussy. I mean they have Chinese food , Japanese habachi and sushi , lots of seafood , Italian food. Dinner def. has much more options for food and desserts. What's also cool is they have buffet Togo so you get a Togo carton fill with whatever you want and they weigh it for the price but you can put whatever you want as much as you want into it. The only negative I would say is there dessert selections are limited. What they have taste good but just not a lot of dessert variety. $8 for lunch $12 for dinner heck you can't go wrong. read more

Great price and the sushi was fresh and tasted great! They had a great assortment of different breads, Chinese chicken dishes, salads, deserts, and fruits. read more

I've tried this place 3-4 times, always via delivery. The food always arrives hot still, it is a good portion for the price and packaged well. However- I have bonidea why I keep trying this place, the food is mediocre at best. Fried rice looks more like Spanish rice but with no flavor, yellow rice with a few onions and a few chunks of pork. General tso claims to be spicy but is actually sweet, crab Rangoon also very bland, lo mein- same, under seasoned. I gave it a 3 stars for the first half of the review, I just wish the food was overall better seasoned/flavored. read more

On average Festiva is a mediocre restaurant, the food is average however you get what you pay for and it is all you can eat. There are items I would not recommend getting such as their pork items as well as their sushi which is not very fresh. read more

As a person born in a Asian family and has had Asian food for my entire life. This restaurant does not taste good or authentic at all. Probably the worst Asian food I have ever had. If your looking for authentic food then DON'T go here. Also the waitress I had could barely speak english. read more

Went to the grand opening, lots of people there. My wife said the food was ok, nothing special. I can't really comment on it because I'm a vegetarian and there is absolutely nothing for me to eat except for white rice. Asked if there was anything vegetarian and was told I would have to look for something without meat. Which would be ok if the dishes were labeled. So since I'm not a big fan of sitting around at dinner watching everyone else eat I won't be coming back. read more

Food was just Ok but when We want to the front to cash out a Lady named Alada and the Her Boss tryed to over charge us when We told them that we were being over charge her boss and her started to talk in a different language and mumbled something to us. I then asked if I can do a plate to take Home and he was once again RUDE as someone who also works for a Restaurant they were rude and Unprofessional We will never going here again. I Request I follow up..... Thanks Jay..... (774) 773-4213 Rockstarguy77@gmail.com read more

I would leave a Zero if I could. Possibly the worst buffet I have ever been to. Most of the food pans were empty. Selection was small. Food had no taste. Chinese buffet with no Chicken Fingers or Crab Rangoon? Italian Food = Frozen Pizza and Beef Stew. They charge for sodas. No refills. No beer or wine. No BYOB. Bathroom smelled like pee. STAY AWAY! read more

Really good food at an insanely cheap price. A great buffet all around. Service was great and the hibachi is a great feature. would highly recommend read more

Just wanted to give a little advice, As I said in my review I LOVE this place but be really careful on when you decide to go. If it's dead, They're not bringing out as much fresh food as they would on a busy night. I always check the parking lot before I make my decision on if I'm eating here or not. So definitely eat there when it's busy if you want the best quality food. read more

Food: B- Service: F My group asked the hostess to order our drinks 4 times (no waitress in sight). I was finished with my 2nd plate before a waitress came by to take our drink order. Chinese food is naturally salty so we REALLY wanted anything - water or soda. I was ready to drink the melted ice from the shrimp area. Our soda order finally arrived with all of our sodas flat because their CO2 was empty. Bill arrived with $2 charge per soda. They clearly do not have enough waitstaff to keep up with the tables. An older Festiva review says they only have white rice. They have fixed that. The chicken dishes are OK but they have small, stringy pieces of chicken. They frequently ran out of food. A few of us went to their mongolian grille and was pleased with the food. The sushi was good but had no labels to know what you were eating. This all might be a learning process for them, but there are too many better choices in the area to return to Festiva. read more

Good service! A lot variety of food! Even they have pizza, I think it's a pretty good option for not only Chinese food. They supply the food frequently. Definitely will come back! read more

The food was bad and they ripped us off and were ripping off everyone else too.They were charging you a extra person and I got my money back but I do not recommend it and don't go if you want to get ripped off. read more

I invited a couple to come with me and try out the new Chinese restaurant that opened up near me . The price was cheap enough . The food was TERRIBLE . My friend got some meat and potatoes , the meat was way over cooked he didn't finish his plate and didn't go back up for more to try anything else . HIs wife got some Chinese options , she said it wasn't that good . She didn't finish her plate or go up for more . I tried the sushi and an egg roll . I choked it down drinking a hole cup of soda to swallow it and did not go up for more . I looked at both of them and apologized . If your interested in old country Buffett with some Chinese and sushi options and don't mind low quality , This is good for you . read more

we've been a couple of times and like it ok. they have a few different shrimp selections that are my favorite. i also like the vegetables they offer. others in my party like the pork dishes and rice. there is a variety of food for everyone. i like having a buffet there again for a decent reasonably priced meal with a lot of selection to choose from. also, we did get drink refills and didn't have to wait for them when seated and all the food items were marked so we knew what was being offered. read more

Ehhh..it's ok. Don't go with high expectations and you won't be disappointed. It's not great but it's also not bad I guess. I'm not a huge fan of Chinese buffets to begin with so I guess I'm not the best person to base it off of. The establishment inside is nice. The service is also nice, friendly, and the waitresses are attentive. The food...is ok. Some decent variety...your usual fried rice, white rice, 8-9 different chicken assortments, crab Rangoon's, spring and egg rolls, and some "American" food options for people (or kids) who don't like the Chinese options, they have a hibachi station (which I didn't try..I just didn't have the patience to stand in the line) and a sushi station. The sushi wasn't my favorite (but it's buffet sushi so...). I really only went because my husband is a fan of buffets and wanted to try it so I went to give it a fair shot. I'm sure I would go back again one day if he really wanted to but it's definitely not a place I would crave or go out of my way to go to. read more
