I wanted to like this place, and I'm not a snob, I love a good buffet. I even like a mid buffet. But this was pretty bottom-of-the-barrel. A wide variety of offerings cannot make up for the fact that the majority of it is pretty flavorless at best, and actually gross at worst. I legitimately felt sick for hours after eating here, and I ate a very modest amount. Also my GOD the price. 22 dollars, *plus* a drink, for some of the worst buffet food I've ever had. They tried, I guess. read more

This place is something else. First, it's huge! They have everything you can think of from sushi to pork ribs to desserts. There is something for everyone for sure! I enjoyed the sushi which was fresh on a week night meal. Also the pork ribs were great. They did also have some American food like mac n cheese for those who don't do Asian cuisine. Its an experience worth trying! read more

This place is great as far as staff being helpful, quick cleanup and plenty of room to sit. They get your drink order and bring it to your table wherever you decide to sit and they have some sauces already at the table for you. The selection is pretty standard, nothing crazy but they have a lot of the basics, a huge dessert line and some sushi items. Their sushi was warm, which was odd and concerning considering it was nigiri (salmon and rice, not cooked). I got some shrimp as well, unpeeled was the only option and I tried anyway, these were also room temp (though cooked) and weirdly mushy. Not sure if that's better or worse than over cooked and chewy. Cocktail sauce was delicious, on the sweeter side. My friend got pizza, orange chicken, garlic bread and a few other random items. She loved everything she had. I grabbed some potstickers and noodles and those were a good! I'd definitely give the place another go. It's really busy, from what I've seen working at Petsmart, on Sundays and evenings. read more

Good food for the price of the buffet. Fresh and tasty. I don't know how long the sushi was out so I opted out, but it did look good. Place clean, restrooms clean. Attention to detail and happy to see the staff smiling and laughing. Thank you!! read more

Tried their buffet twice. Service is good. So many items to eat. Place is clean and spacious. I love their crab item the most. read more

I'd give it a 3.5 Environment: This was a really big buffet! One side was where you got food and the other side had lots of seats. There were some areas where it could be divided so if you have a big party or something similar, you can split it up. Staff: we had a huge part/eventy and yet the servers were still very kind and patient with us. Def. an extra star for that because usually many servers would look impatient or rude but they were consistently cleaning and serving us. Also, we weren't the only customers, there were lots of people during the weekend so I appreciated that. Food: maybe I haven't gone to a buffet in a really long time in Portland, I thought it was okay. Lots of options and the things I recommend most were the fried dishes and their veggies. Some of the fried things I had were the butterfly shrimp, fries, springrolls, etc and they were all good! The veggies weren't over cooked. Some of the meats were hit or miss. Overall, for an event like we had, a buffet made sense. There was a lot of food to choose from, whether you like them or not. They quickly added more when certain plates were running low. I only tried the hot food side, fruits, and some desserts. I cannot say for other things. read more

Good selection of Chinese/Japanese and American food. Lots of seating which is great for large parties. I love their egg flower soup.

The food was acceptable with a few exceptions, and the atmosphere was fair though uninspired. The problem is the inconsistent customer service. One lady at the front counter was friendly, welcoming, and confirmed that my son qualified for a free birthday meal and encouraged us to come for lunch, but when we returned as a family a different woman at the front was unfriendly, refused to honor the free meal offer, and seemed bothered that we were expecting the offer to be honored. I don't see us returning any time soon. read more

Service - unfriendly cashier/owner, was treated like we're begging for their free food. Seafood - plain, simply boiled not fresh oysters, clams, crawfish with no seasonings or sauce. The variety of food is repeating and boring with low quality. I came back the second time to give it another try but did not enjoy the food much. Grill bar - sliced steaks were put out and turn dark, very chewy. Sushi ingredients were not fresh, old taste when eating. Overall, it's not worth with the price you pay for. Will not coming back. read more

ZERO STARS IF I COULD They Started Mopping When i was eating It Smelled Like Pure Clorox While I was Eating She gave me a refund but still gave attitude TERRIBLE SERVICE IT WASNT CHEAP EITHER read more

When I walked into this place I was super impressed. The layout and the variety of food was amazing. It all looked so good. I sat down with hungry eyes and dug in. To my disappointment I tasted nothing worth going back for. The food was all crap. The best thing I had were orange slices. No joke. If you just want to get full this place is great. If you want good food there are other options nearby. read more

Great selection of all kinds of food, Chinese, Japanese, American & Misc. A impressive value for all these delights! They also have a bar if you want other drinks. Large place for group parties made easy, with good service too. read more

I walked in after paying and immediately regretted my decision. I was reminded why I haven't gone to a buffet in a decade. The floors were sticky. The chairs were dirty. There was trash and food bits under our table. I was so grossed out. A lot of Costco products reheated. Fountain drinks are not buffet style. You have to order your drinks. Sushi looked like it would give me foodborne illness. Food items were not properly labeled. Example, I could not tell which buns were which and which ones had meat vs. not. Service was fine. Nothing spectacular. I really hope good, clean buffets spots make a revival in the next decade, but I don't know that they ever will. read more

Food is great and there are so many options I can't try everything! Service is great as well. My Pepsi is always full and empty plates are taken right away. Love this place. read more

Well it's a buffet and on the cheaper side of things, and that's where I run out of nice things to say. Food was mediocre at best for me. Honestly I think there are more desert options than actual main course options, and the main courses tasted frozen and reheated style. However for my daughter she loved it. It has the most jello options I have ever seen; didn't even know mango jello was an option! Probable won't be back, but tried it at least once. read more

Hug Grill Buffet - Jello - Buffets Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

The food was good. I enjoyed the atmosphere. It was very clean and enjoyable. Not a bad price either for the stuff you get on the menu.

I am embarrassed to write this review because the. the world will know I, an Asian-American woman, chose to eat here. Hope springs eternal is my excuse. I took a spin around the place a few weeks ago and was optimistic it might be a replacement for the long-gone Buffet Palace. It is not. There were a few okay items. I did enjoy the hot and sour soup! The bok choy was still crispy and nice flavor. The spicy chicken had some kick. The sushi was actually not too bad. The fish tasted clean and didn't make us sick. The mushrooms were decent albeit without any memorable flavors. I liked the little palmiers cookies, but I love those anywhere, anyhow, so don't go by that. At least they weren't stale! Everything else ranged from tasteless to downright horrendous. There were many items I took one bite of and tossed the rest in the growing refuse pile on my old plate still sitting there. For example, I now know it is possible to screw up steamed buns, one of my favorite foods on Earth. Theirs were hard, stuck to the paper. A supposed chashu pork one had some tasteless grey meat I couldn't really positively identify as a meat substance, let alone chashu pork. Calamari like rubber. Salmon overcooked. Crimjnally overdressed salad. They have an enormous row of desserts. The pineapple was delicious and ripe. I tried some "cream"-filled layered things, puffs and pseudo eclairs. That filling reminded me of the frosting on supermarket cakes made of over sugared, whipped shortening. Oh god. I feel sick I even had one tiny bite of those. They are probably still wreaking havoc in my intestines. Tapioca which I normally love was like glue with lumps. I was appalled at the serve-yourself reach-down freezer of ice cream in tubs. . . especially after I witnessed a gentleman cough into his hand several times right in front of it. This is not a joke. I didn't want to hang around long enough to see him dip his germs into the tubs. Gak. Okay, you get the picture. Avoid this place if you have any taste for Asian or ANY decent food. Special note to my friends: please do not think less of me for trying this buffet. I can see why they make you pay upfront. That should have been our first clue. No photos were taken as I wanted to forget this meal as quickly as possible. read more

really bad, tasteless chewy and the fish seemed to be sitting there for a while. we paid $52, and left not even full because the food was bad, I gave it two stars because the lady up front was super nice. we will not be going there again read more

disgusting terrible food would not come here again all the food was watery and dry the dessert was dry too the sushi seaweed was chewy overall it was all gross i think my drink was the best thing read more

The Food was cold, the crab was inedible. Really disappointed cause we live down the street and we're hoping it was going to be good. But it's not. They even have fake food dishes, like they claim they have cheese covered scallops, but its actually a salad shrimp, which is weird...... hopefully they can bring the quality up read more

Mediocre at best. Asian lady working behind salad bar was eating a watermelon. Desserts and pizza come from a box, most likely same vendor as other Chinese restaurants--which even the finer restaurants do as well, but quality is 10x better. Teri chicken and grilled squid were 3.5/5. Lots of food items were hit and miss. Came here for Mother's Day dinner and it was packed. For a venue that could serve about 200 ppl and only 4 women restroom stalls available seems troubling to me. I ate a steamed mini bun with pink flour but it was stuffed with bean and not azuki, but Mexican kind lol First and last visit. read more

if you like seafood and by the restaurant standard it means: deep fried blue crab, salmon, crawfish, oyster, mussels, manila clams, squid/cuttlefish stir fry with veggies and cocktail shrimp or deep fried shrimp then this might be the buffet place for you! I gave an extra star for their wide range of seafood. First of all: it is HUGE inside, so big they have additional seating area for parties and probably large banquets. Pay up front and order your drinks then take receipt to your table and go grab a plate etc etc standard procedure for buffets. A lot of hot entrees but not often refilled...mix of Chinese foods and some other deep fried foods and a meat station with sausages ribs and roast beef? Didn't try their soup station but they do have rice, egg flower and hot & sour soup. They even had some dim sum like steam custard buns. I didn't try those. Stir fry bar and sushi bar was very lacking and there was a customer that I witnessed trying to get the chefs attention more than 3 times calling out "sir, sir, SIRRRR can I get my food cooked please?" i turned and saw the chefs back was facing the customer and well- he was too busy watching something on his phone (youtube?). so you know service would be slow and ingredients were mediocre, not much meat option other than beef, they were out of pork, and then just shrimp. Some veggies and noodle choices like udon or yakisoba like noodle. This really docked a star off - and I very rarely give less than 3 stars review. Sushi bar was screaming horror, each plate looked extremely dry, old and just needs some detailing on the raw plates where the residue needs to be cleaned up! You would lose your appetite for raw fish after seeing the residue left behind from previous ones (thawed out liquid) and they didn't switch to a new plate or wipe it down. I was about to just grab an ordinary crab salad roll then I saw to my right the plate of avocado roll with black sesame seed, there was a hug crawling all over it. I stared a few more times to make sure it was a black sesame seed rolling, it wasn't...... I didn't want to attempt taking a photo because it was just too disturbing at this point. The one piece of crab salad-cucumber-avocado roll, I used the tongs and placed it on my plate and it made a thud sound, I was like huh? when i got back to my table to eat, I realized it was because the rice had hardened! The sushi rice has hardened so much that when I took a bite, all the other ingredients came falling out and the rice was just too stiff and dry. I was definitely disappointed but not surprised at this point. A lot of fruits and dessert option and including a shave ice and icecream section! So far all self serve and kids seem to roam around that section the most. This did earn some points for a star back but they don't have 1/2 star point system unfortunately. Parking lot is huge! Plenty of space since it's in a complex with Petsmart and Anytime fitness nearby. Price per adult $20 ish and refillable soft drinks about $2-3 recommendation: Stay at the hot entree stations with the seafood- everything is at least cooked and somewhat hot or were cooked to hot temperatures. Manila clams was good but we ate a few pieces where the oyster were still raw and slimy (partner was ok with that but I prefer fully cooked as It should have been since it's as steam broiled?) End note: leaving it as 2 star and honest review- Would not come back, I was very concerned about sanitation and cross-contamination after I saw the sushi station. I didn't say anything because well for 1.) it's a buffet restaurant so I thought maybe they'll get to it eventually when more food is gone? 2.) this was already towards the end of our meal so I ended up skipping the salad station all together (it was located across the sushi station) and just went straight for fruits and dessert station. read more

I went with a large party and we had a section of the restaurant reserved. First of all, the front desk personnel is very abrupt and speaks loudly, almost yelling. She made us take a photo of each guest to ensure we paid for everyone It is a very spacious place and brightly lit which made me think there are many food selections to choose from. But I was wrong! The sushi section had very similar rolls and only two sashimi items which were not too fresh. The half of hot food section was all fried food. Some food items (ie radish, pickled ginger) seemed unusually bright as if food coloring was used. Only thing decent was wok, where you choose your own meat and veggies to cook fresh. What made me wonder is why Styrofoam cups and plates are used. I dont think I will come back any time soon. read more

Hug Grill Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

This buffet is very hit and miss; mostly "miss". However I do go there often. The Orange Chicken is always very tough and poor quality chicken, The orange source is very lacking in real flavor and there isn't much of it anyway. There are some inedible chicken nuggets that are dry and reheated from who knows when. Pot stickers are hard and dried out. Pizza worse than what you can have at home out of a box. The tables are often sticky and not cleaned well. The silverware is often not well washed and has food particles left on it. I never get the sushi so I can't comment on that, and the salad bar is a bit sad. I do find several items that I like and that's why I keep coming back. There are lots of fruit and desert options that are quite nice. The staff always seem preoccupied on their phones and they don't keep the buffet area clean. Having said all that, I quite like the place and with a bit more effort they could make it really good. They just need to address a few issues and improve the cleanliness and food quality. read more

Lower quality Asian buffet with a large selection of food items. Sadly, there's an over abundance of styrofoam plates and plastic utensils. Check in was harsh. A dragon lady pressures you to select a drink choice before seating. Yes, even the hot tea comes in styrofoam. I couldn't get myself to drink it. The men's room was absolutely filthy. This reflects poorly on management. As someone who values quality over quantity, I won't be back. read more

I can't describe the level of awful that this restaurant is. What wasn't cold was baked dry by heat lamps. Who knows how long all the goops and blobs of what looked like food sits out as by the look and taste, I would presume all day. I tried a little of everything except for some items not labeled and that I couldn't identify. I'm not super picky with food, I can cook remarkably well but cooking for one is a drag. There was nothing I would consider edible. I literally would take a bite, and spit it back out into a napkin. I could hear the words "uh-oh" playing in my head after each bite. It was either tasteless or tasting on the cusp of spoiled. Even desert was pretty gawd awful and stale. The sushi was horrid for a place claiming to be a sushi buffet. The cooked food was just nasty, shrimp tasted spoiled, edimame was cold and wet inside, the red spicy Kimchi tasted nothing like Kimchi is supposed to taste, fried rice had almost no taste. How do you mess up fried rice? Coconut shrimp....probably sheep but hard to tell. For the good....well, the canned beets in the salad line-up, the chocolate pudding, and the ice cold glass of water someone placed at my table were Rockstars. There is a level acceptable that a restaurant should hit for their benchmark and this place was was a straight up fail. Bottom line....that was $22.50 I'll never get back. read more

I debated about a five. Im certain people will disagree and it's highly likely my experience was unique but it's my experience and I was pleased. This is the safest I have felt eating out since COVID!!!!! That's important to me. The space is huge. It's also a beautiful space. Very clean and well lit too. I wasn't even 60 feet from the next person and there was a fair amount of people. I don't know if there is an Asian buffet consortium where all of them decide on and procure requisite ingredients but basically all of the stuff you see at an Asian buffet is here and in the form you usually see it in. So really the food was not what earned the five. The sushi was good. The rice was flavorful. It was pretty. And as good of sushi as I've had at a buffet. I love the ice cream. I find it incredibly unsanitary. I'll leave it at that. Incredible amount of desserts. They had five flavors of jello. Even lychee jello. I've never even seen that before. I wish this business well. I would love to return. read more

Food ok & service ehh. Good place for large party but I don't recommend. Cleanliness was not the best

My kid loves buffets so figured we'd give this one a try. I was pleasantly surprised! Super clean and modern, quick service with drinks and very large variety of food. The bbq rubs were really tender and tasty, Chinese style char siu sauce. The sushi also had a variety of rolls and nigiri that were fresh. I really liked their salad bar choices too as they had some Korean salads that I love and seaweed salad for the sushi. They also had every condiment possible. My son loved that they had some American options (pizza and French fries) and also the udon/noodle bar. The price is very reasonable for the wide variety. read more

The food is old the how mean taste weird like expired and the waitresses don't wash their hands here they literally clean tables and grab the dirty broom and will grab ur cup and refill like nothing the tables are sticky and it's just a bad hygiene buffet do u honestly think that's worth their high prices nope the menu items are so basic and their pastries are so old it's gross read more

I really wanted to give this more stars because I love buffets.... But the food was not that great. I mean, I know you can't expect high quality for a $19 buffet, but all the food was lukewarm or cold... And the sushi was stale, like it had been sitting out for a day or two. I did appreciate the $15 bottle of prosecco though... And the ice cream station. The desserts weren't too bad. Giving a generous 3 stars because I appreciate an open buffet these days, despite the cold food... And the service was really nice read more

Hug Grill Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

Haven't been here in awhile but since we were in the area we stopped for lunch. Great selection and reasonable price for us 2 old people. The tables are kept clean and cleared. It's a huge place and glad to see them doing okay. read more

The price is perfect! The food is Amazing! We were so surprised by the whole experience, and we will be coming back!!! The service was excellent free refills and all you can eat!! We were completely full when we left!!! The ambiance was nice, it was pretty quiet! read more

TL;DR: There is a massive selection, but it comes at a cost. As a Hillsboro native, I was tickled to see the Marshall's was replaced by a massive Chinese buffet. Not knowing what to expect, the boy and I went here for lunch on a Sunday. The weekend prices are more expensive - $20/ person. Coming here for lunch on a weekday I think is $15/person. We were met by a woman at the front desk who was very abrupt. We had to pick our drink seconds after answering how many were in our party. Looking around confused for drink choices, she sharply pointed to the drink menu on the counter. Once we both answered, she stated the price for our meal and looked at us. Still confused, we figured out we were supposed to pay. We got past the first step and walked into the actual restaurant. It's a pretty spacious establishment with plenty of seating. It's perfect for large parties and families. We found a table and put our stuff down. I wish they had a way to mark that the table was taken and we were away to grab food - maybe like a small card or placard for the table? We were only given napkin and a straw to walk in with, so we put those on the table and hoped it would be enough to "mark" it as taken. On top of the buffet counters are incredibly cheap Styrofoam plates and flimsy plastic cutlery. But under the counter on shelves were actual plates. We searched a bit and found some metal cutlery as well. The buffet selection is huge. There's everything from sushi to hibachi noodles and ramen to cold fruits and salads to classic Chinese buffet items to seafood to some oddities such as Texas toast and pizza, as well as a large dessert selection. (Random but one of the "dessert" selections was just a pan of pretzel thins?? Very funny to see.) I will say, to their credit, everything they actually made themselves was good. The hibachi grill, some of the chicken noodle dishes, the pot roast, and some of the sushi was very good. But everything that could be bulk made was very obviously purchased and heated. (Potstickers, spring rolls, dumplings, Texas toast, ALL the dessert items, orange chicken, and more). These items were just not good. They tasted microwaved and bland. I wish there had been signage or something to help control the chaos as well. This is a massive space and therefore there are a TON of people. There was no real direction for where to start the buffet or which direction to go, so you'd be going down a line and all of a sudden be met with a large group of people going the opposite direction, forcing you to get out of line and start over. We grabbed our first round of food and sat down, then realized we never got our drinks. We looked around confused as there were no drink stations either. Then we saw one of three servers rushing around with platters of cups (imagine 1 sever, 10+ cups on a tray) trying to deliver the drinks people ordered at the front counter. It was chaos and it took a long time to get our water, which was not the servers fault. There is well over 50 tables within the restaurant and there were DOZENS of large groups as well. Just 3 servers trying to figure out who ordered what at the front was a horrible way to go about delivering drinks. The food wasn't very good, the service was nonexistent, the cleanliness is lackluster, and price only matches quantity. Don't go here. read more

At beginning I thought it was because outside was hot and that's why the seated area was hot. But when I was having room temperature sushi and sashimi that was very uncomfortable. None of the main course are worth going back for (crab, crawfish, beef, pork... nothing was good). All food tasted like reheated. Mongolian BBQ area was so gross, all the food looks old. Not a place I will recommend to anyone for sure. read more

I was really excited about a buffet opening up in Hillsboro and finally got a chance to go try. This buffet is very new, clean, and spacious with great customer service! Dinner was $17.99 + $2.50 for a drink. They had a lot of variety in food. From Chinese food, dimsum, sushi, salads, crabs, ice cream, shaved ice, and many other desserts. I honestly think this place has a lot of potential. Their food choices are great but food quality can definitely improve. The amount of customers coming in aren't enough to go through all the food quickly enough, therefore the food has been sitting there for quite a while making it not fresh anymore. Especially sushi, I suggest on having sushi made to order for now, then back to normal when customer flow picks back up. I rather wait for the sushi to be made fresh instead of leaving raw fish out like that. Overall, I will come back and give it another try since it is very close to home. I hope next time the food will be better and more appetizing. read more

So this evening I didn't really have dinner plans. I do enjoy sushi, and I thought that $12.99 was a pretty fair price, so I decided to drive down Cornell one light to 25th Ave to give HGB a try. I was going to see if I could check it out before I committed, but the restaurant is set up as pay first, which makes sense. I paid and went in. So I love sushi...Hero Sushi is my favorite in the Hillsboro area, but as expected this wasn't nearly as good. The rolls, while presented very well, lacked flavor. I wasn't expecting much and I wasn't disappointed. All in all I ended up saving money because I was planning on going to Albertsons for ice cream after dinner, but the "frozen treat" that I had for dessert solved that craving. Finally, the reason I didn't go 4 stars is because I used the restroom before I left and it was a mess. Floor was wet with paper towels everywhere. Not to mention there were two bottles of cleaning chemicals under the sink ( with a towel on top to try and hide). I am fairly sure that would be considered a health hazard if discovered by a certain "Department" {Just a heads up} Glad I gave it a try, but you get what you pay for, and I would rather pay more for better quality. read more

I'm not sure how long Hug Grill Buffet has been open for, but it could use improvement. I've been to many buffets in the Tigard/Beaverton/Hillsboro area, this one is most questionable :') - Most importantly, I DID NOT get sick from the food here. Visited here Saturday, May 7th - Dinner Time. Upon entry, you pay ahead of time to receive a receipt to seat yourself. You'll receive napkins, plastic forks, straws, and chop sticks from the host taking your payment ($41.50 for two people, not including tip). Once you find a table, you place the receipt to save your spot. The place is pretty large, and it's OVERWHELMING to find a table while making sure it isn't already taken (some people forget to leave their receipt, but their plastic silverware are placed). They have a selection of plastic silverware along with metal silverware to choose from. Styrofoam plates that are from Walmart that are super thin (I saw their entire stack of Great Value plates displayed nearby the food). They also have regular plastic plates which were not well washed. I ended up putting a styrofoam plate on top of the regular plate. I'm not what is the purpose of having styrofoam plates. They felt sticky and greasy from all the fumes that fly around from the food. It's also wasteful considering the go through tons each day most likely. Same with the plastic silverware.. What is the point of offering it if you have metal silverware? Female bathroom is kinda dirty.. could use some cleaning in the stalls. Sink and hardware and loose. Water is everywhere. Food is subpar and oddly organized. You'll first see some Chinese cuisines, then randomly there is macaroni... then more Chinese cuisines, then you'll see American cuisines at the end. Food doesn't taste fresh for buffet quality, the food has been sitting out for a while and it shows. The chafing dishes don't appear warm enough to keep food at an appropriate temperature. Some of the items I picked were already at room temperature or cold. A pro about this place is their seafood/sushi selection. Surprisingly felt comfortable eating it. Everything is appropriately placed on ice and looked relatively fresh. I was impressed the pineapple is cut fresh rather than served from a can. They have a decent dessert section (i.e. sliced cakes, shave ice, fruit, ice cream, etc.). I feel like this is a personal preference, but guest are able to scoop their own ice cream. I'm most concerned about hand hygiene just because the scoops are placed back into the ice cream tubs once people are done with them. read more
