When there for a party with about 24 people. On the plus side they do have a wide variety of foods and service is attentive. The food presentation is fine, and consistently refreshed while I was there which was for a weekday dinner. The atmosphere in the main dining room is actually not bad for a buffet. On the negative side: - if you're in the party room you're packed like SARDINES! - Very good food variety but it comes at a cost which is taste. Less can be so more much of the times and this is one. As an example, they have Sushi but it's bland and tasteless. Over food taste wasn't bad, just not that good. If you're looking to stuff yourself at a cheap price, this is the place and I respect that. Just for don't come with any expectations and you'll be fine. read more

One of the better buffets I have been to in a while. Went Sat for lunch . The Saturday price for lunch is $14.99. When we got there, they had a Valentine's Day all day dinner special. I paid $63.08 for 2 ppl with soda . You have to pay first before being seated, not sure if that's the case all the time or for this day. The buffet spread was impressive, with about 7 stations of food and dessert and separate sushi and hibachi areas as well. They had crab legs and crab and crawfish. I tried the crab leg and it was fine. Never been my favorite. But it was very popular with the crowd . The lines also were out the door. read more

Two words. ROYAL FLAN. This is a so-so Chinese buffet. It's weird to me that I have to pay before dinning. It's should not be like take out Chinese where I normally pay before getting my food. But, they do have Covid plastic dividers. I usually stick to hot food for the odd plates. for my even plates, like round 2 and 4 I get a plate of the royal flan. I can't make it passed plate #5. I don't get the sushi nor the hibachi. And I've only come here during lunch so not sure if there's a Grandmaster Royal flan at night. Staff is nice. They don't give me attitude when the unsweet tea is chewy and I ask for soda. read more

This restaurant has a lot of patrons which means high turnover on their food. Everything is fresh and doesn't get stagnant. Service is quick and plates get cleaned off quickly. The lines at the hibachi can get pretty long but worth the wait. It's located in a shopping plaza so plenty of parking. Food quality is ok but freshness is better than other locations read more

Flaming Grill & Buffet - Hibachi - New American Near Me - Linden, New Jersey

Huge buffet with a lot to offer. The hibachi station is the best. Service was great. Price was amazing! $13.99 for lunch. Came here with a big group. Tax and tip were included. If you want soda it's $3 extra per person with unlimited refills. Kids 3-10 are $6.99. We'll definitely be returning. read more

The price is decent for a buffet. We came on Saturday dinner price was $17.99 per person. The price varies from weekday to weekends, lunch vs dinner. Service was mediocre. There's tons of people lining up after paying to get a table to eat on a Saturday evening. There's lots of selection of food. Ice cream is free however if you take it to go it will be 75 cents. The ambiance is nice. Food: 4/5 Service: 2/5 Ambiance: 4/4 read more

This buffet was amazing. I was not expecting the quality of the food to be so good for the price. We went on a Saturday, around 2:30PM. We were sat within 5 minutes. Each adult was $20. Toddler was $7. Free for one year old. My favorite food was the beef and broccoli, coconut shrimp & donuts. The had nuggets and fries for kids which is always great. Will definitely be returning. read more

Flaming Grill is an all-you-can-eat spot with a little bit of everything--hibachi, sushi, mussels, even chicken nuggets and ice cream. For ~$17 per person on a Sunday night, it's a solid deal if you're looking to fill up. That said, the food was just okay--nothing mind-blowing. And if you're particular about cleanliness, this might not be your scene. Will I be back? Probably not. But hey, it was an experience read more

We used to like it a lot. Today's visit was let down. They still have consistently good food and selection, but the place was dirty, smelled terrible, and even drinks tasted like some paint mixed in. Vegetables did not taste fresh as their refrigerator does not keep fresh or something. I would not return to the restaurant in this unsanitary way. They need to shut down and clean the place up. If the FDA visits them, they will shut them down for sure. However, the service was good. I would only recommend this place once they clean up the place. read more

i went here twice in the end of september (second time in hopes i would see different employees and have a better experience) and i was hoping to get management to reach out to me but no one has yet. i firstly want to say that all of the hosts were the exception and were very nice. i am in organ failure and have gotten most of my nutrition through a tube but recently i've decided to try eating out at places before i'm gone. i kept going to the bathroom because my stomach doesn't work the way it should and was met with employees whispering about me to each other, pointing at me, and laughing. this wouldn't have been such an issue if they hadn't been so blatantly obvious about it. i even tried ducking and hiding my face while i ate, but of course i left in tears. i told a little to the hosts and they were very nice. i just wish i had never gone here and spent my money. i took two busses from the hospital to get there and was exhausted. i just want management to know so this gossiping doesn't happen to another disabled person. i don't want to hold a grudge and needed to get this off of my chest. thank you. read more

Flaming Grill & Buffet - Lobster wink at me - New American Near Me - Linden, New Jersey

Was starving after shopping around Jersey and decided to give this place a try. For its price, it's really not bad. For covid measures everyone was wearing a mask and is required to have a mask on once you leave your table. Seatings between tables were spaced apart with a minimum of 6 feet distance. Temperature was taken prior to being seated. Lastly, they provide gloves for you to use the utensils to serve yourself. There's a salad bar, hot food section, sushi, and hibachi. The hibachi was my favorite because there's a great selection of chicken, steak, beef, shrimp, vegetables, noodles, and rice. My favorite part was their unlimited ice cream. Although the selection is wide spread but I was disappointed with some of their foods turnover. Also, some of the food like chicken wings, shrimp, pork ribs were lacking flavor and freshness. Perhaps the food turnover haven't been so great since there wasn't much people on a Saturday night. Overall, this place has really good selections and I would give it another shot. read more

To be clear, in general I don't like buffets but I came here for the first time for a birthday. The quality of the food was so low I was in disbelief. At most the low mein was pretty good though it was cold. The fish tasted very cheap and perhaps it was frozen before. The one thing I enjoyed was this sponge cake. Very fresh and yummy! The salad was also good though it was just lettuce lol. Would I come back? Unfortunately no but it did t hurt to give it a try either way. read more

I have been around this place hundreds of times but never tried it. I was very hungry and needed something quick. When I arrived the place was busy. When I got to the front I told the lady I was ordering to go. They gave me my gloves and to go box. I got a bunch of non meat items and went to the front to pay. They weighed it and it came to a little over $6. When I got to the car I dug in and everything was tasty. I have no complaints and will return. read more

Great food, comfortable environment, clean and family friendly! Just off of the 1&9, we almost missed it, but we tried it out and now we're regulars! The seafood is great, just wish they had a soft serve ice cream machine! read more

Price is decent for a buffet but they need to work on sanitary issues. Floors had food all over, the buffet station could be cleaned up better. No social distancing going on whatsoever and even with the sign that read masks are required more than 70% of the people walked around maskless and management didn't enforce it although they were good about handing out gloves to use for the tongues..hibachi meat looked old and was chewy. Crabs weren't too bad. Not enough sushi just a lot of generic rolls read more

I am reserving my thoughts on this one. It is very affordable but it is just too many in these times of pandemic. But if you like to eat on the cheap. This may be for you read more

Gross. Everything about this place is just gross. The bathrooms, the food, the seats, the tables. How times have changed... the meat in beef and broccoli just dissolved. They need to get a food inspector in there IMMEDIATELY. A word of advice ? spend your money anywhere else but here. read more

The food was good and they have variety that a picky eater can certainly find something to enjoy.  The Mongolian grill was my highlight.  Kids loved the sushi.  The hot food was fresh and was overwhelmed with the amount of choices!  The bathroom was clean with soap and paper towels.   Upon seating, they gave us plastic gloves but not everyone wore them at buffet station however we appreciate having the option.  The service was prompt and friendly. I observed the waitress immediately cleaning tables after guests left and was ready for new guests in a few short minutes! read more

The food was like eating at a McDonalds just a couple of more things Just ok for a Chinese Buffet read more

We always enjoy coming here. This is definitely not the best quality food you'll ever eat, but that's really never why you go to one of these buffet spots anyway. We usually come here when we're starving and looking for a variety. The hibachi grill is great for everything except the steak... it's a pretty low grade and rubbery, but I love every other option. This buffet does the job well considering the low price. I recommend for a good quick fix read more

I wish I would of took pictures, unfortunately I did not. I could not believe my eyes, there was so much cross contamination with the food. I am allergic to seafood, I went to the hibachi line & there was a lot of people who had seafood so the grill was full of that. They do not clean the grill, I wanted chicken and the chicken had a piece of shrimp inside of it. I ended up getting off the line because I did not want to have a allergic reaction. The servers and the front desk have ATTITUDES. We asked for one water and a soda and the lady brought us both waters, she didn't even ask us. I asked what was at the sushi bar and the guy just nodded his head and walked away. Overall this experience at this place was HORRIBLE. I don't know if they ever heard of secret shoppers but I would give that place a F!!!! Get new workers who actually want to work, the attitudes are uncalled for. read more

I feel like out of most of the buffets in the area this one was competitively priced. It was random that there was a section of French fries and Pizza but other than that everything else seemed fresh. I was weary about trying the crab because it was sitting under a hot lamp and I was afraid of getting sick. Servers were awesome and attentive. In each section they kept it clean and were courteous to check on my table once in awhile. I think I'll try to come here during lunch when they first open and check out their seafood option. read more

Flaming Grill & Buffet - My most random display of food that would only look like this at a buffet. - New American Near Me - Linden, New Jersey

Maybe the chef want to make sure the food is well-cooked, I feel it is over-cooked a little bit. Another thing, I normally pay tips via Credit card on top of the bill, not cash. But the resultant asks customers to pay food in advanced which brought a small issue when I want to pay tips at the end since I have no cash. Otherwise, everything else is average among Chinese buffets. read more

I am honestly not a fan of buffets, primarily because of sanitation and cleanliness of food and service. But this spot is a nice gem. On our way back to Brooklyn, and starving, my wife's sister-in-law recommended we'd visit here. Upon arrival, there was a long line (note it's a Sunday); that was sort of a green light for us. Despite the huge size of the place and enormous quantity of seating, people still waited. Wait-time was no more than 15-minutes. We were then immediately seated. Then we made went our way over to the hibachi area, and I stacked up on another plate of American fried food, hibachi beef, crab, and some sushi. Surprisingly the hibachi was very very good. Much better than your typical Chinese fast food spot. You can taste the freshness in the food and the fast food was good as well. I very much enjoyed the food. And, a huge plus was that I didn't have an upset stomach. I'm writing this review about 10 hours after having the food and still good. I have a "weak-stomach," so definitely can attest that you won't get sick. You definitely get a lot more than you pay for; this place is ridiculously cheap compared to New York City prices. read more

I have been there several times throughout the last couple years. They are big and busy, especially now Buffet industry went down hill due to Pandemic. I normally don't complain, what can you complain when there are variety of selection and the lunch price is only $12.99?!. But I have to now because the food was awful. I like the grill, because it's prepared fresh, make to order. However during the last two visit, the food wasn't cooked thoroughly, don't you at lease to serve the food fully cooked?! read more

Filthy, food thrown around , literally workers tossing food like slop to pigs. The food sections were not cleaned up, food everywhere ; cross contamination between the choices. I cannot think of one positive thing to say. The booths are not maintained, just placed duct tape on the ripped areas, no padding , walls were falling apart as well. After walking through the food area, we walked right back to the front desk, got a refund and left. They must pay off the department of health because there is no other way I can see this place staying open. read more

Went to this place 3 times and it's not bad but don't come on Fri-Sun because it's so packed by noon it already has a line. I actually agree with paying 1st because after awhile the place is crowded and hard to manage who goes in/out. It's a buffet you should pay before you are seated what else is there to order besides drinks? My biggest complaint is the some people are just very poor inconsiderate. such as leaving tongs right on the food. That is gonna make people get sick! Then I saw someone put food back from his plate. Also people use tongs from different trays to swipe over food. Just hold on and be patient, there are like 50+ trays and you can't wait? If you come on Thurs the problems are not as bad, less huge obese people and less unsavory people. I wonder how many times EMS had to stop here to give CPR. read more

What can one say about all you can eat buffet?! This a Chinese buffet that serves Chinese, American, Japanese, and Italian food. I was in the mood for sushi and my family wanted something else so we came here figuring it should please us all without the hassle for going to multiple places. The weekday lunch is cheap for all you can eat. $8 for adults and $5 for kids ages 7 to 10. There's sushi, hibachi, seafood like clams and shrimps, your typical Chinese take out dishes and then, salmon, shrimp alfredo pasta. Food tastes mediocre, not bad nor gourmet delicious. They do have a party room in the back for party rental. There's plenty of parking here. Seniors eat at a discount. I'm rating this place for 2.5 stars but feeling generous so give 3 stars. read more

Why did I come here when I really don't care for too many buffets? I tried, I really did, I swear I did. Let's start with the calamari, first & foremost I need my a$$ beat for even trying Calamari in a buffet, I went to bite into it & it was like chewing on a leather belt. The chicken & broccoli was good, or should I just say the broccoli was good, because I didn't eat the pieces of chicken that was in it. The fried whiting (or pieces of whiting) was horrible, the General Tso chicken was okay, the fried scallop? Well that's another stories, I couldn't muster up the guts to try it because it was immigration & rubbery. No, no, no, I just can't do it, the fried spring roll was mediocre, the clams would have been my favorite, had 2 of the 4 not been gritty. I also had salmon on my plate but couldn't eat it because all those other things made me nauseous. For dessert I had fresh fruit, cheese cake & a macaroon, all were delightful, but who in the heck wants to pay $14.62 just to enjoy some fruit & a glass of Diet Pepsi. I'm done, next time can someone please steer me far away from this place. FYI: The best NJ Buffets are in the Atlantic City Casinos & is worth all of the 30+ dollars that they charge. From now on, I'm gonna stay in my lane & leave this process food alone. read more

Flaming Grill & Buffet - You get what you pay for. Yuck - New American Near Me - Linden, New Jersey

I used to always come to this buffet, the food was fresh, hot and pleasant but busy atmosphere. But I guess with what's going on today in the world they don't care about that in linden, Nj. To start off the pricing was ok not bad at all, it was pretty steady as it's always been but then things take a turn. The food was stack piled, I mean you can't have seafood sitting on top of each other the way they did! I mean not just 1 item but just about 50% of there items were like that. Then being a diabetic who also is allergic to seafood I was super limited on what I could eat. With me being limited on meals, I still had to deal with the fact some of the food was cold!!!!! I mean I had to go back to stir the mashed potatoes around so I can get some heat action and be able to serve myself a portion! It just was a overall was a bad time! For this price I would've just went where I normally eat at so would I recommend you don't go here because even after all of that we left in a disappointed mood but we weren't prepared for it to come out the other side! We were on the toilet all night not throwing up either smfh read more
