very clean excellent variety and choices made with quality ingredients! all of the staff are friendly efficient and very professiona! I have eaten at several other Chinese buffets in this Tri State area and Jade is the best in my opinion by fa! Their price is reasonable. The only negative comment I have is that their restrooms are in desperate need of remodeling and updating! That is one thing I think they don't realize that is very important to customers that can influence people coming there! To be honest the restrooms are unexceptionable to the majority of the public! please remodel the bathrooms it will be a profitable investment!!! trust me! new floor,new stall walls and doors ( doors that don't have broken locks) new sink and counters! Install efficient exhaust fans and air fresheners. read more

The food is disgraceful. They are stingy with the crab legs and the food is VERY tasteless. The service is embarrassing. They were arguing and failed to help the customers. BAD RESTAURANT!! read more

I came for lunch at just after 1:00pm and got seated very politely by the woman at the door. The selections were of course less at lunch I'm assuming because I haven't been here in years and never at lunch. Everything I tasted was warm or hot because of being just replenished. Typical buffet but great service. I didn't use the restroom but the dining area was kept clean. For less than $14.00 with a soda, I had a good meal! read more

Jade Buffet - Lunch buffet and fountain drink. - Chinese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Food is very nasty, tasteless, not warm enough, not enough variety, food is col, safe your money they need to change their chef

The building itself looks a little tired and dated as did the interior, but it is still nice. It is large enough to have a significant number of people dining in. We were greeted and seated immediately. The booth was comfortable and our server was very quick to get our drinks as we went to the buffet. The selection is unbelievably large and it all looked appealing. More importantly the food did taste good as well. Good value. Nice place. Good service. What's not to like? read more

The food was nasty it was cold we came there were seafood and they didn't have any there and they put out only four pieces and everybody took them. The shrimp was not even cooked so nasty the crawfish was burnt the eggs or cold like real cold bathrooms nasty bad words on the stales kids be going to these restaurants and they have like inappropriate drawing when you walk in they pay you extra fees like they give you the price that you have to pay for then they give you more for you to pay the sauce like the butter sauce, not even good does not taste like butter sauce at all I'm never going back ever again drinks real really nasty. I asked for ice they gave me no ice a than They took my drink and never came back. I'm not going there anymore. read more

Disgusting My fried chicken was my old taste like it was thawed in mop water my shrimp tasted like chemicals and was very mushy I tossed it

This is one of the absolute worst buffets I have visited, food was cold and undercooked during "dinner" time. And for 16.25 plus 2.15 for a soft drink it's not worth it. Nothing has any flavor and is definitely not worth almost 18$ a person read more

I enjoy this place and would give it a higher rating, but there's just not a wide variety of food

I enjoy the food here, I always get the buffet & always come at lunch or dinner during busy times so I have no problem with getting fresh food and it's always good. Price is fair too. I think some reviewers expect way too much for the price of the buffet. I like it, I will be back. read more

one of the worst food experiences I have ever had!! 80% of it was cold, and a majority had no flavor whatsoever. hibatchi side of it was the only partially good part at least it was hot! service was fine but definitely never going back 1000% not worth the 16.25 a person read more

This place stole my credit card information. This is a good card and was never compromised until I went to this place last night. Im 9/10 certain they took a picture of my card while completing my purchase. Also the food was decent. And ambiance was dead. read more

The food itself isn't bad, ambiance is ok, it kinda sets you in an old restaurant that had its hay day a long time ago and wants to cling to it. The issue with the location is the staff, the waitress are rude, read more

This is an establishment that has been in this location for years - the consistency of the food is good to really good - plenty of seating and clean - the service is great - refreshing the drinks and clearing the plates quickly - I think they are a great destination for large groups and for grabbing a quick, tasty Chinese dinner - read more

Got here as they opened and most of the food was either cold or ice cold. Coconut Shrimp and soups were only thin hot. I won't be back.7 read more

Nope. Cold food, everything in a soupy sauce. Poor service. Sorry guys - step up your game read more

The steam tables make everything look so appealing. Nothing that was supposed to be hot was hot. Nothing that was supposed to be cold was cold. Such a disappointed with every bite. A man tending to the steam food table was adding new food to old food just mixing it together, can you say bacteria? Yep, a few hours later I was throwing up. I was there at lunch time the food should've been fresh & hot. I have a feeling that the food was on that steam table the day before food. I wanted so badly to love this place. After taking a good look around I can see the light fixtures and floor are very dirty, I didn't use the bathroom. I won't be back. read more

I found hair is in my food. I was verbally assaulted by the staff there. I did not appreciate them telling me to leave after 3 plates. The atmosphere was very underwhelming. Will NOT be returning. read more

This used to be my ABSOLUTE number 1 got to place. It's slipped over the years but I still love it. I believe the decor is still a step above the avg Buffett, makes you fell like your in a better place. The food always seems fresh and hot, not sitting out all day long just waiting for someone to finish it off. Wide selection and a reasonable price. I recommend going in between the typical busy hours so you don't feel rushed and can enjoy the soft sounds of the water features. Enjoy a nice relaxing meal. read more

Good food, nice people. Has a lot of the traditional food you see at these places and that's not a bad thing of course. The bourbon chicken is the best. read more

Tried this place 3years ago thought they would have gotten better. SOO WRONG...... THERE ARE WORSE!!!!! Crab Rangoons under cooked, small pieces of Crab legs over cooked and don't expect hot food cause that's not going to happen. They need to change their price to 9.99 cause 15 dollars is a waste of money. If your standards are low go here. read more

Very disgusting and horrible hygiene. Everything was caked in dirt and the food was either old, cold, slimy, or odd tasting. My family and I paid around 70 dollars for a gross meal on a dirty plate and drinks in dirty cups. And this is barely a start of all of the problems. Please don't make the same mistake we did and save your money for a place that won't give you a food borne illness. read more

I was there in 2019 and was happy. The food was hot, well prepared, and tasted good. Variety was a little bit lacking, but not much, and the place had everything you would want: a wide variety of Different types of meats, different types of vegetables / dishes (broccoli, Etc). etc. etc. And, The price was fantastic. I'm headed there now in 2022 and will try to update read more

Food was not very tasty, the buffet wasn't being keep clean. I will not go there again! read more

Open Christmas Day! Good food good service I have been coming here for years and the food on the buffet is always fresh. read more

Food quality was below average but normal for a Chinese Buffett. If you are a big eater it's a bargain but I much prefer custom made Chinese food. I prefer spicy food and buffett's are usually lacking in that. read more

This is my favorite Chinese place on this side of town. Mainly because the place has plenty of seating, is clean, and has plenty of food choices. Jade Buffet is kind of tucked away from the mall around the corner, but it's well worth it to stop in. They have a plentiful salad bar, sushi, and nice big round buffet. Oh and they have the traditional ice cream machine and pretty well stocked dessert bar. There are plenty of different choices on the buffet from noodles, to 3 different kinds of rice, beef, pork, seafood chicken, veggies, and some American style food as well. Did I mention sushi and seafood? True most buffets don't quite do sushi "right", but I will attest that they do a pretty bang up job! And have a selection to go with it. The only thing that docks this down a star is the service. The wait staff is very chatty with each other, and sometimes it may take a while to get refills. I suggest always ordering water if you get something else to drink as a back up. But other than that its a great lunch spot! read more

This place is terrible - I have never seen crab legs cooked to where they were soft I had to twist to tear it open - and this was after I asked if they were going to bring out any more. If I could give it zero stars I would. The only fresh items brought out besides the crab legs was the food they made for themselves. read more

The staff is friendly. The selection is both unique and broad, but the food was just so-so. Crab Rangoon and Wonton Soup were both excellent. Some of the dessert items were tasty as well. I kind of wish I had stuck with just those, but I was far too curious and hungry to avoid the other items. I thought some of the Chinese mainstay type items were a little sub-par: General Tso's Chicken, Beef and Mushroom, Spring Rolls, even the Sweet Donuts. They left a bit to be desired. Some of the less common items were good: Frog Legs and Steamed Oysters for instance were unique and tasty. They also had a Baked Oyster that tasted an awful lot like a crab cake. Other items, like the mussels, were inedible. The Coconut (cream sauce) Shrimp was also a miss for me. Of note is the discotheque inspired server circle. Get your freak on Jade Buffet! In general, I feel that a lot of items had sat out too long and were either colder or chewier than you wanted them to be. We'll call it Red Lamp Syndrome. read more

so disappointed in lack of soy sauce. just packets of camel colored salt water. what's a chinese buffet without soy sauce???

The food was cold and bad service there was no fruit and all crackers and cookies were old and had a really bad taste read more

Jade Buffet - Cookies were really old - Chinese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Really good! Not a super large buffet but everything was fresh and delicious. Cleared every plate. I was really suprised at the freshness and quality good job! read more

The food is not bad, It's just average and the selection of food is not big. But!!! But!!! The big but for me was when after I had my second plate of food they almost made me leave!! I mean come on!! It's a Buffett and you don't expect people to be on a diet when they go to a Chinese Buffett.... And I'm not a big girl, I was not ripping them off.... Unfortunately they did make me feel very uncomfortable, like never going back. Now I don't wonder anymore why it's empty. read more

I give one star because it won't allow me to give it a zero. Went yesterday (6/19/2018) and I can only remember once ever having a worse buffet experience and that was like 30 years ago. Jade was sticky floor's, old tasting warmed over crusty offerings and just nasty in appearance. Speaking of offerings, not many. Everything was fried or blanketed with some mystery sauce camouflaging what wasn't consumed the day before. It was an anger inducing waste of 22 bucks for two meals that didn't even include drinks. Needless to say I will never ever darken the duck-tapped broken door of this horrible, grimy, dark, moldy smelly and just the grossest poor excuse for a eating establishment. read more

It's awesome sauce!! It has a really good combination of food. Very friendly staff. Food is delicious. I enjoyed their lunch. Food was hot and fresh. Kitchen staff did a very nice job restocking. read more

Service was confusing and servers were mean. Food tasted off and the buffet lines intervened and some food slots where left empty and the server we had was not fast and some of the seats where ripped so overall the restaurant was not in best condition read more

This is the worst buffet I have ever been to. The food was terrible. I ended up only paying for my beer. They brought out 6 crab legs at a time. Do not waste your time. read more

Jade Buffet - This is suppose to be their serving of crab legs - Chinese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Here now with my family and it is the WORST Chinese food I've ever had! I would have walked out but our children were already eating. The crab legs were extremely over done the meat was tan, all of the chicken on the buffet was so hard my children had to struggle to bite it. The noodles were starchy and the crab meat so gross and chewy. The only good thing was the service and my water. I will NEVER come here again and I'm still hungry read more
