Very wholesome spread - we enjoyed it very much! Everyone will find something for themselves. While they call themselves an Asian buffet place, there was enough American food for any picky eaters. My five year old had a blast tasting everything. He ate several helpings and cleaned every single plate. Things we ate and recommend trying - 1. Sushi - very good variety, enjoyed most of the rolls. 2. Baked Clams - Mwaah! so good - this would be my favorite! 3. Soup and noodles from the live station - turned out very flavorful. 4. Many variety of deserts but the Creme Brelee was particularly good. 5. Kids will love the chocolate mountain with marshmallows. 6. Lots of variety of fish, pasta, and chicken dishes - all tasted very good. This buffet is a steal for the weekend prices compared to other places and for the amazing spread they offer. Kids are priced by age which in my opinion is the most reasonable thing to do. Plenty of parking - so no concern over there and plenty of seating inside - no matter when you go, you should be able to get in without wait time for small parties. Super kid friendly in terms of food and flavors - enough to work with picky eaters. read more

Great buffet for variety and selection. Service is excellent. I love all the options -especially the seafood and vegetables! Very large and plentiful. Only downside is that it gets very busy. read more

Three and a half from Aiden. But five from myself and from oh actually Nikki has changed her review to a four ok. Aiden-busy busy Buffett. Loud. Dudes taking plates from table while seated. That's all I've got to say. Nikki- loud environment. The workers are nice. There's not a huge selection well I guess there is. And there are little pigs running around the restaurant. They're every where. I don't know what else to say. Yeah thank you. Lloyd- this place is fucjing fantastic. Ignore my friends. The soft shell crabs are dusted with the finest sea salt spice blend and it's so good I found myself chewing the shells and eating them too. They have a steak grill where you pick the steak and you can watch them grill it. I put my steak on my plate first and I covered it with soft shell crab, shrimps, a whole bunch of steamed clams, eggplant, bbq short rib, everything aforementioned was excellent but the beautiful sauce that formed in the bottom of my plate and marinated that steak made for the most delicious post Meal steak I have ever had. I rate this place ten out of five stars and thought it was delicious. Meesh gives it five stars as well. Five stars from quartz as well Also the crème brullee is delicious and the tiramisu is fine as well. The coffee is delicious as well. Surprisingly good coffee for a buffettt. read more

Harvest Buffet - A damn fine cup of coffee - Buffets Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Great value buffet in Tacoma. This buffet is affordable with good selection. I like their salt and pepper blue crab. The space kind of big. Only one thing I don't like is the building is too cold to dine. Very un comfortable. The selection includes hot deli, cold dishes, grilled station, noodle section, dessert, sushi, fruit and more. I like that they have cotton candy section that attracts a lot of kid. Me like the giant NY steak. read more

This is another comfort, go-to, and staple buffet spot in the Tacoma area. My family ALWAYS goes to this place, and it is one of the best buffets in Washington that we have tried! The lines tend to get pretty long and busy, especially on the weekends - but the wait is worth it, and it goes by faster than you expect it. There are a lot of food options from the sushi bar, noodles, meats, and desserts. I have no photos of this place because somehow I devour everything up before I remember to take a picture! read more

First time here. It was okay. I felt like the hot food was a bit greasy. The service was decent. They took our empty plates pretty quickly. It's in a plaza. Parking is plentiful but not well maintained. Parts of the restaurant needed a good scrub. There's lots of space for big parties. read more

I was visiting a friend in Tacoma and got hungry, so I thought, "Why not stop by Harvest Buffet?" It's honestly one of my favorite Chinese buffets in the area. We came on the 30th for lunch and found out they're serving dinner all day during the last week of December--such a nice surprise! I went with family, and everything looked super fresh. I loaded up my plate with baby crab, sushi (eel and California rolls), crispy fish skins, fresh prawns for the Mongolian grill, beef brisket noodle soup, salt and pepper ribs, caramelized plantains, and some dim sum classics like chicken feet, siu mai, and dumplings. The place was busy but not overcrowded, and the staff kept the buffet well-stocked the whole time. Overall, great food and great vibes--I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Considering it's a buffet, the salmon nigiri and sashimi were pretty fresh. But outside of the sushi I was left a bit unimpressed. The point of the buffet is to enjoy multiple cravings at once but the only one that was really hit was sushi. The desserts were also lack luster and lacked general sweetness. read more

This buffet reminds me of those Las Vegas $10 buffets in the late 90s/early 2000s - which I loved. Large selections for everyone. There is plenty of choices. Price is affordable. A couple things I didn't like... 1) scallops were fake, made with cheap fish; they weren't scallops. 2) sushi had very thin pieces of fish... mostly filler items in the sushi selections. Most items were very fresh but a few things tasted like they had been out a while. Fresh food far surpassed the older items. One of my favorite items was surprisingly the baby bok choy dish. I think they called it "garden vegetables." Delicious. I didnt try it, but theres a Mongolian grill where you pick out everything yourself and the chef cooks it for you. Perfect for diners to get exactly what they want. The place is huge. Max capacity at 545. The servers kept dirty dishes cleared and tables cleaned promptly after left. The buffet was clean and people attending to it constantly. No messes or anything dirty. I got a couple desserts and those were tasty. They have lots of dessert options in addition to the standard buffets like multiple cold-pack ice cream, chocolate fountain, and even cotton candy machine. I would definitely return. It hit the spot for craving a classic Vegas-style buffet. Thumbs-up! read more

Forgive me, but I don't quite understand the hype. I visited this buffet today, and while the establishment itself is very large and visually appealing, the buffet area felt narrow and cramped. The food presentation looked promising, but unfortunately the quality did not match the appearance. I gave it a fair shot and tried several different items to make sure it wasn't just one dish, but the overall experience was consistently disappointing. The meats seemed like odds and ends--very tough, overcooked, and lacking quality. Many items relied heavily on basic seasoning, but even then, the flavors fell flat. One of my bigger concerns was food temperature. Some of the hot plates were cold to the touch, not even room temperature, which was concerning. On top of that, the air conditioning was blowing very directly; by the time I returned to my table, the food had already gone cold. I'm not a picky eater and usually enjoy most places I visit, but this was a miss for me. With improvements to food quality, seasoning, and temperature control, this place could be much better. As it stands now, I don't see myself returning. read more

I went here for my birthday because it's cheap, variety (we had friends with us who wanted variety), and closes pretty late-ish. The service was great, the place seemed clean. Obviously going to a buffet, it's not the most high quality food but for the stuff they had we really did enjoy it. The honey walnut shrimp was really good, the crepe was good a the roast pork was amazing. We ate some nigiri's as well. The only thing I don't like was not all the food was hot & no crab legs :( read more

A very popular buffet restaurant!! I've eaten here a few times when I'm in Tacoma visiting people, and this buffet is always recommended because it has something for everyone, no matter their taste!! Being a seafood lover, they had everything from sashimi to salmon to shrimp. I also saw lots of sushi, a grill area, and a noodle bar along with traditional buffet food.. The price was decent, $25, and we only had to wait because we had a big party of people!! read more

$25 for all-you-can-eat buffet with desserts, seafood, dim sum, hibachi, sushi, etc. Could not ask for a better deal. the sushi here is the best of any buffet-tier sushi that I have had with its multiple arrays of flavors and styles. Service is good. The placard that you can turn sides over to show the bussers whether or not you were finished is truly so profound. Especially useful when I would go out to the bathroom, get something in my car, etc. I ate here BY MYSELF, and I felt safe with the items that I would need to leave behind before I departed from my table. the personnel who served the food were especially welcoming with a greeting, wave, and the question "Is there anything else that you want?" after each task completed. the buffet is the biggest that I have ever seen with a main room right by the catering tables, a room with karaoke/DJ/dance floor specifically for reservation parties, and two annex rooms for extra tables and chairs. such a lively atmosphere with diversity in the people and the occasions that they were celebrating. this place is too good. After eating dinner on a Friday night by myself because I passed my Army Fitness Test, I decided to treat myself out again for a $16 all-you-can-eat lunch here, and was once again, impressed read more

Here are the pros and cons. Pros: There's a variety of food stations so everyone can have their pick. This is where I go to eat unlimited shrimp w head on, baked mussels, and soft shell crab (only offered at dinner). Their soups are always good too. They ran out of my favorite baked mussels and I didn't think they'd refill it because it was almost closing time. When I asked, the nice guy behind the counter put out a whole tray! Overall, the Asian food is good. They hose down the place after hours. Literally. See photos. Cons: Don't bother going on Friday-Sunday nights. The place is always packed and the crowd outside can be rough around the edges! The location is questionable and there are always sketch people hanging around. They had security at the door last time I went (Wednesday night). Another con is that they don't offer my faves at lunch time. I would also skip the sushi and the grill. The sushi doesn't taste fresh and they often overcook the meat at the hibachi grill. read more

It's a buffet that offers a mix of Asian-American dishes and a Mongolian grill. The place gets super busy and packed, so it's best to come at a decent time to avoid the rush. I've been here a handful of times, usually as a last-minute option. The food is decent overall -- the dessert area was okay, nothing too special. The sushi, however, was pretty bland and underwhelming. read more

The price is so good compare to feast. They do have variety of food just like other buffet or even more.

Most of the food seemed flavorless. We were pretty disappointed in the overall experience. The people were very friendly but the food was not worth it. read more

Food was decent, there are a selection of great dishes while there are a selection that were not that great. Desserts were decent as the ice cream has a good selection but every other dessert was either super dry or overly sweet. The service was excellent as bussers were always consistent bussing plates immediately once our table was finished with eating. Overall ambiance is a typical AYCE buffet environment - loud, lots of families, and packed. Not sure why people brought in a jello plate into the restroom... Outside you'll notice that it's a huge parking lot but it is completely filled up during peak hours. Security had to be hired due to escort the unhoused away from the property, for the sake of the customers. read more

05/10 30+ minutes before close. Was waiting in line for my crepe with ice cream. The lady that was previously cleaning started taking the ice cream tubs out and putting it on a cart. The coffee ice cream was filled over the top, and she was scooping the over flow with her bare unclean hands and pushing it back into the tub before taking it and putting it onto a cart... she continued scrubbing, soap flying everywhere and the area smelled like bleach. read more

3rd visit today in 15 yrs and it was a wonderful experience! The instrumental jazz was a gr8 eating background and much better than the last time. THANK YOU! The food was a lot better too! Thank you for sprucing the place up and having different dishes. The Mongolian grill was very nice! Thanks for moving the line along by making space for my food 3 cooking...waiting in line 4 cooking could be a turn off! read more

Typical Chinese buffet with all your Asian food buffet staples. ALWAYS super packed. Great space for parties as well. Atmosphere is loud but only because it's always so full of families which is a good thing. Overall good cheap place to eat, especially with family and friends as there are options for all types of picky eaters, lol. read more

This is definitely the better buffet in the area when you don't want to go far. The prices are pretty fair for lunch and dinner as they do have a great senior price as my grandma goes here every week with family and friends. I enjoy their offerings for both lunch and dinner, just know you get more seafood options during dinner. The sushi here is decent quality for a buffet but don't expect like premium or super fresh quality. The hibachi area is one of my favorites as I love being able to make my own chow mein as the one that is premade is just okay. They also offer chicken feet and braised pork feet which is not really common at buffets in Washington so those are my go tos. They also have a great dessert selection and the ice cream here is always so good and creamy without that taste of freezer burn. The staff here aren't the most friendly and they definitely seem like they don't enjoy their job but it's a buffet and luckily you don't need to interact with them too much. There is plenty of seating inside and I do feel iffy when we have to share a table with another party as we had the unfortunate experience of being right next to a baby who was wailing so loud that it was so distracting and the mom had no idea how to make her baby stop. A better than average buffet with decent prices and food. read more

Harvest Buffet - Dinner goodies - Buffets Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

My name is Sylvester James. SlyJ for short. Im a Black Man in america and I give this restaurant a 5 star rating. Food is super bomb. Staff are very friendly and professional. Their staff went out of their way to make great accommodations for my Mother and I, who are physically disabled. They personally catered to my Mother and I and made sure we were sufficiently taken care of. There weren't any unsanitary guests serving themselves or kids or people sneezing or coughing over or near the food. They have large entrees. Tender baked BarbQue'd Ribs. They got a Mongolian Grill section in there with fresh meat and vegetables there and grill infront of you with an enormous plethora of seafood selections to! I smashed on the Coconut Shrimp! Dam! Im going back in a couple of days! They have an amazing Soup and Desert Bar! And I was so impressed I had to give this objective 5 Star Review. And I dont know anyone that works there. Also, they keep all Buffet Bars, Floors, Tables, Dishes, and Silverware clean at all times. I highly recommend it. You won't be disappointed. Maybe quasi overwhelmed a little but never disappointed! And after you're done eating, if you want to get more food to take home, that's allowed. They will charge at least $7-8, per pound. Trust me it's super crackin in there! And great management! Take care and God Bless all who are worthy and God Bless the staff and The Harvest Buffet. read more

Harvest Buffet - This is a first plate I had and was very satisfied! But had to get second plate of those addictive Coconut Shrimp and Ribs! (No photo). - Buffets Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Usually come here on the weekends when it's a little hellish with the crowds. this time I showed up for an early lunch and was really surprised. The food was kinda delicious. The brisket was the perfect amount of greasy and seasoned correctly, the fried fish was great with the tartar sauce, the Polska kielbasa was perfect with the crunchy skin and just the right amount of salty flavor, and that cheesy spinach was crazy good. The bad was a little runny because it was close to opening so I guess it firms up under the steam, but it was still good. The corn was sweet and the ice cream? How can you miss with ice cream. Plus the price is just right for a weekend lunch. Will definitely have to return with the parents. read more

Harvest Buffet has gone down a tick since I last visited. The beef was stringy and some of the Asian selections were "meh" this time around. Not to mention a group of pestiferous kids was running around playing grab-ass when not diddling with the food. The best part about the visit was the coffee ice cream! This place is becoming the defunct and not-missed Old Country Buffet. Too bad because it's as pricey as ever. read more

Food was not that great. The service was not that great in the ambience could've been a lot cleaner inside the facility. If you asked me, it was overpriced and not worth the value even though there's lots of options it wasn't up to my standards lots of parking though in a private lot read more

Free parking in the vast lot. There's a Security Guard outside. Extensive buffet on a budget. Satisfy selective eaters. Pay first, then indulge. Everything I consumed tasted fantastic!

Harvest Buffet - So happy - Buffets Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Even though I live about 140 miles away, in Vancouver, WA, I visit Harvest Buffet in Tacoma whenever I can. (Good thing I have a daughter who lives in the area, whom I'd like to visit.) For it is a popular place, packed with customers; the food rotation is great, keeping everything fresh. Sushi and Nigiri are fresh as they come, better than most sit-down sushi restaurants. For the price, I don't have any complaints about the restaurant. For the price of one bowl of Pho or an order of burger at another restaurant, I can enjoy countless different foods. read more

This is my favorite buffet in Washington. Even though I'm in Edmonds and the buffet is in Tacoma, I made the trip because I was attending a concert with my friends. For $29.89, including drinks and taxes, it's totally worth it! The buffet is huge, with chefs preparing noodles with Mongolian sauce, plus a wide variety of options like soup, seafood, salad, fruits, sushi, pasta, rice, and more. A must-try for an amazing, happy tummy experience with friends! Just I hope they can clean the utensils more read more

We drove all the way from Lynnwood to this restaurant on a Sunday afternoon, enticed by the rave reviews we'd seen on social media. The establishment was very spacious, featuring multiple seating areas, a high ceiling, and stunning chandeliers. We were impressed by the extensive variety of food offered. I particularly enjoyed the sushi, especially the ikura and scallops, though it was disappointing that they didn't have uni. Beyond the sushi, we found the rest of the food to be just average. The clams and mussels still had sand in them, the BBQ ribs and steak were dry, and the deep-fried pork was tough. As for desserts, the crème brûlée and pudding were the highlights for me. The staff was friendly and efficient, promptly clearing our plates. Cannot beat the price though - $22.50 for seniors and $24.99 for adults on Sat-Sun. Parking was easy as there was a parking lot. read more

I gave 4 stars just because the place is better than I thought it would be considering the massive amount of customers the staff has to take care of. I think buffets are gross BC generally people are so unhygienic but the staff seemed to do everything they could do to keep things clean. The staff is very nice. The Mongolian grill is my favorite part of the buffet. I feel weird about tilapia sashimi though; that shouldn't be there LoL. People complain about the price but I thought the price was fair. I went to a buffet not too far from this one and it was $45 each and the only difference was that the building was much prettier. read more

Wife and I got there at 4pm on a Saturday, place was packed, waited about 20 min before we were shown to our seat. The price was $65 for 2 people. The food was blah, it was like we were having the leftovers from their lunch service that the food was seating out all day. Would I go back? Absolutely no, now if the food was good then yeah I wouldn't mind. The other thing was that the seating arrangements were too close, no actual deserts, and just not enough options. read more

Pretty decent buffet with a lot of options. Prices are decent too. Kids are charged by their age. I think they should charge by weight but that may be a bit controversial lol. At any buffet I always do a flyby of all their offerings and put together a strategy in my head. After all, I only have so much space and I want to make sure thats not wasted on the less important items. IOW, I ain't in my 20's anymore when I could get my 'moneys' worth at buffets. It's now about variety and options. Anyways... They have a sushi bar and it was pretty good. I generally start with any raw options. They had everything from nigiri to rolls to sashimi. Yes, sashimi! It was just salmon and tuna but it was fresh and delicious. I basically put an extra salmon on every roll that I got which just kicked it up a notch for me. They have a grill area. You can have them do a mongolian bbq style plate or grill any meats to your liking. They'll also grill veggies or anything raw items you find on the side there. This is where I spent most of my time. Everything was fantastic. Get creative! They have a noodle bar. I didn't get much here but if you like ramen or pho, you have those as options. They have a dim sum area with bao's, siu mai, and some other random steamed dumpling items. Honestly they all looked pretty sad so I didn't waste any space on them but they at least had it as an option if you're craving it. They had a great selection of fried goodness as well as chinese dishes. Anything from beef brocolli, chow mein, spare ribs, fried shrimp, fried chicken, even fried soft shell crab! Salad bar... yes. Desserts... yes, with ice cream! Overall, our entire family enjoyed our meal including the kids from 6-11. Just remember to pace yourself and get small amounts. They do police the plates well so a bunch of smaller plates are better than a few larger plates IMO. They do charge extra for drinks if you want a fountain drink. Or you can just opt for water. Decent buffet spot though. read more

This place is busy. Expect to stand in line for almost everything. Hibachi grill. Sushi and ice cream being the most popular during my experience.
