Only a 3 because they made me clams without jalapeños. Went at 130. Lots of old food. Sushi area had 4 empty plates and no sign of new or fresh sushi coming. Plates the tings were on were filthy and caked with eel sauce. No fresh food was brought out when we were there. Won't be back read more

Nothing on the plate from the buffet was hot or even warm. The service was ok, the staff was friendly. The restaurant itself, drab, carpet was dirty and the restroom smelled of old water. There was cardboard on the floor under the sink and the soap was so watered down it didn't even suds up read more

Jin Jin Super King Buffet - Shrimp poop!!! - Chinese Near Me - Panama City Beach, Florida

Avoid this place! Terribly neglected with torn seats and dirty, sticky surfaces. ( See attached photos) Food was cold and dried out, while most trays remained empty for long periods of time. We avoided eating the seafood choices for fear of food poisoning. We came for the advertised crab legs, but there was none. The price would have been reasonable had the quality been up to standards. We paid it and left hungry. I 100% DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! read more

Overpriced Chinese buffet. They have signs up saying if you don't eat all that you get on your plate then you will be charged an additional "take out fee" (but you cant take the food home with you). We ordered some crab legs separately (not from the buffet) and they said we had to eat those there too or we'd be charged the take out fee in addition to the menu price for them.The bathrooms and area around them smelled like backed up sewage. Horrible smell. Food was typical buffet food. Not bad, not great. The shrimp isn't de-veined. Stuff had been sitting a while but wasn't dried out. The sushi rice was getting a little dry but still tasted ok. The waiter was great but the lady who seated us looked, and acted, like she wanted to be anywhere but there. read more

The food was bland. The sesame chicken was just chunks of hard breading and the beef in the beef and broccoli was so chewy. Overall it was just bad. The portions are massive but we didn't eat much. Sadly most went in the garbage. read more

Jin Jin Super King Buffet - Chinese Near Me - Panama City Beach, Florida

Worst food buffet ever! Food was mostly empty containers and if it had any food in it, it was cold, hard and tasteless! And we were paying the higher dinner price! Cleanliness was awful! Horrible experience, wouldn't recommend! read more

This place was horrible. Surprised this place is still in business. They only bring in people who are in the mood for a Chinese buffet and not from around location. Food was cold, scarce and hard. Nothing looked good. Hardly any employees. Noodles were not even cooked all the way which was crunchy to eat. Probably get food poisoning. Someone inside said they calling the food inspector I'm sure they have a lot of violations. None of the employees looked Like they enjoyed working for this place. read more

Look the price is a lil high but it's gonna leave your full and happy it's a amazing place that doesn't try to stand out but it still does also every time I was out of water I got it full in .5 secs read more

Literally cannot give you one good thing about this experience! Paid $20 for a buffet of rice noodles and mac & cheese. I could've rolled the sushi better than it looked. Had to wait for any meat to come out, by that time we had been there an hour. After being tired of sitting there, I asked for it to go box for my plate and they charge by the weight. Honestly will not be surprised if I got food poisoning from that place. If I could give it zero stars I would. Do waste your time. read more

WARNING!!! Terrible, if I could I would have given them ZERO stars. The food was trash. The employees were terrible, everything is so unsanitary and there is sooooo many empty plates (no food to pick from). Do not recommend. read more

The people who run this restaurant are incredibly kind and attentive. They always serve fresh food, which I really appreciate. As a very picky eater, I've never had any issues here. If you want something extra fresh or feel like the buffet options aren't quite what you're looking for, they're happy to remake a dish for you. read more

Decent food! Nice staff! Everything is clean! The guy the cooks the food behind the counter is a great chef and the food stays warm forever!

Food tasted just okay at best. Gave me some pretty bad food poisoning. Do yourself a favor and don't go here, there's plenty of seafood in PCB. They also double charged one of my friends. read more

It's a buffet , nothing special overpriced for the average diner. Not a place for me , I think you need to be a BIG EATER to get your moneys worth. read more

We've had worse buffets but this is definitely almost there. Not a big selection & most items were cold. Mind you it was a dinner rush.... Multiple table around complaining to staff the whole time yet nothing was fixed. $110 for a family of 5, not worth it at all. Don't let other reviews fool you read more

very low quality and not alot of options, way Over priced for the low options and quality

This place is what i would call your typical chinese buffet. Its located in a building that clearly used to be a steak/bbq place as the decor has never been changed. It looks like all they did was add some crystal chandaliers over the buffet area. This doesn't make it bad, but exactly what I would expect! They do have a decent selection of food but unfortunately none of it was hot. It was luke warm at best and by time got back to table and ate it, most of it was cold. The flavors were good but needed to be hotter. Some of the breaded chicken items were 99% breading and 1% chicken. Now, what i will say is the hibachi grill was the best part and had I known at first i woudl have skipped the buffet and just done the hibachi. Decent selection of raw proteins, veggies and noodles and then cooked up for you as you wait. This was the only food i had that was actually hot when i are it. My only suggestion would be to have more sauce options. There were none other than he asked me if i wanted it spicy. The sauce was good, bit sweet but good. read more

The worst buffet I've ever eaten at. Sushi dried out, WonTon soup no wontons, Corn on the Cob not cooked, BBQ Pork great flavor couldn't chew it. Cookies so stale you couldn't break them. If you like to waste $32 for 2 lunches, this is the place for you. Ps. Our young man waiter was EXCELLENT. read more

I sure wish I had seen this rating before we went. My wife and I visited this place on a Friday night around 7 PM on December 6, 2024. They were not very busy. Maybe 3 or 4 tables total. The staff was definitely not in the mood to be there. Their website will have you believe that they might have crab legs on the bar for an extra charge but you have to order them from your server a pound at a time for $10/lb. I was really just there for the sushi bar and mongolian grill. The mongolian was decent but no matter how long I waited, they never added anything fresh or new to the sushi bar (pictured). I asked the young Latino gentlemen cooking my mongolian but he couldn't understand what I was saying. I just gave up. It's too bad because we're in PCB at least 3-4 times a month picking up supplies and really wanted to find a great Chinese buffet. read more

Jin Jin Super King Buffet - Sushi bar at 7pm on a Friday night! - Chinese Near Me - Panama City Beach, Florida

I came here on a Sunday around 5pm with my boyfriend and his mom for the dinner buffet (18.95). We ordered drinks and got seated. When we grabbed our plates we immediately realized we had options entirely comprised of food that had been sitting out for what looked like all day. It was kind of gross. When all of us sat down at the table we all did our best to eat the most of what we served ourselves. Just simply not worth the money. Go somewhere else!! read more

There food is bland, not as good as it was.it has no flavor. It was better a few years ago.if it says spicy it shoud be spicy.

Omg it's terrible. Had to beg for napkins they do not have crab legs. And never refilled the food bar. Avoid at all cost

I would have to say nothing was fresh or good about here. Everything tasted stale and leftovers reheated. $18.99 per adult and plus $9.99 if you wanted crab legs. Which you would need to place a order with the waitress. I Remember coming here way long ago when I was kid thought I give it a try again. Place been stationed there in the same location for a very long time. So I guess it's another touristy trap place. read more

EVERYTHING cold and hard! It had been out too long! Nothing was edible except the salad. Even the sushi was hard!! PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! I wish we had not spent $47.40 It wasn't worth $5 I would give it a minus -10 if it were an option. read more

Intestinal distress, at its finest. When employees won't look you in the eyes just go somewhere else.

not fresh, fast, didn't taste good either. Next time i'm in panama city beach I will not stop by!

i love this place! my mom and i have gone here/ordered in from here for a long time. the food is wonderful and the staff are very friendly and helpful! they also recently added a claw machine with cute prizes. read more

Jin Jin Super King Buffet - sesame chicken with pork fried rice, broccoli & egg rolls w/ yum yum sauce - Chinese Near Me - Panama City Beach, Florida

Fresh food, went for the crab legs but didn't like the way they sold them, just did standard buffet. Hibachi is my thing and they have a nice variety . Service was nice too, waitress was busy but very attentive. read more

Got there and hour before close, I get it, it's closing time everybody is ready to go home. First thing lady at the front says "we are closing at 9:45" without a welcome in or how are yall doing, I wanted to leave immediately since she obviously didn't want the business. Family wanted to stay and just eat since we were already there and it wouldn't take long to eat. Food on the bar was limited, as expected, and also disgusting for the most part. Service sucked, food sucked, prices absolutely sucked. They charged every one of us full price for this half a** buffet, not everything was on the buffet, and even charged two children who ate little to nothing full price as well. Just beware of this scammy place because they only care about money and not the clientele that keeps this place open. read more

Came last summer and I had food poisoning on our 7 hour trip home. maybe don't trust buffet sushi looking back, lol. staff was very dismissive and couldn't care less about the guests. read more

I should have known based on the reviews that it wouldn't be great, but it gained another star back because the food variety fit the needs of our large party. I found that though it's an asian buffet, the American food was much better. We went on a Monday and there were little to none fresh seafood options. For a buffet by the water...you would hope for at least that. The restaurant didn't feel very clean either and deterred me from wanting to spend too long there. The hostess was not very nice to us, but maybe she was having a bad day. She kept emphasizing that any food we don't finish, we'd have to pay to to go fee....we had a group of elderly and toddlers so I guess that's why she said that, but it didn't leave a good impression. For the price we paid, there were much better options around. However, this doesn't deter me from the Jin Jin chain because I've had a really good experience at some of the others. read more

If I knew is that bad, I will not spend a money there. Saturday dinner at 6 pm. Most trays is empty, foods too cold leftovers from lunch, some items such as sesame ball so hard, shrimps too cold and the hot and sour soup in my life never see any Chinese restaurants put bean spout in it ! Not done yet the most embarrassing is Hibashi noodle cook in front of you so sweet, wet noodle I cannot eat it for that noodle plate I will give the Sakura food mall 10! So sad ! read more

They do not honor their listed prices or lunch hours for Monday-Thursday. 18.95 per person at a late lunchtime at 2:30 is not worth it.

Should have known better from the dingy, appearance of the outside of the building, but my sister, her 10 yoa Grandson, and I were in PCB for a doctor's appt she had, so we went in anyway. The booth had a sizeable rip in the vinyl, as did a lot of the others. The food was not the best, I've had much better Chinese food, and it was below average at best. I sampled a bite of quite a few different things. The sushi was OK as was the General Tso's. The Crab Rangoon was a disappointment. I tasted little crab, if any. It was mostly just cream cheese. The egg rolls were pretty much tasteless My sister said her Lo Mein was just plain nasty and didn't taste right. My nephew commented that the fries he got were cold and unsalted, and the dessert, which looked like some type of brownie, was dry and tasted like sand. Then came the bill. For $70, I could have ordered enough food from the Chinese restaurant in Graceville near my home to feed the three of us for three days! I was definitely not expecting the buffet to be that expensive, considering the quality of the food wasn't that great. Expensive lesson learned, never again. I'm wishing that Mein Tin wasn't all the way up North in South Charleston, WV because I'm starting to miss quality Chinese food right now. read more

It was like eating outside it was sooo hot inside. When you go in the guy adds your party takes your drink orders then ask age of kids before you sit. Not anything super you have to pay $9.99/lb for crab legs with your server. 2 shrimp dishes on the line. Salt & pepper shrimp was good clams were plain..Sushi was bland desserts looked dry lots of pudding and there a gnat catcher by the fruit. If you're budget crunching you can definitely get a full meal. But we def won't be back visiting. Of course it's PCB lots to offer in the area! read more

Pricey, but very good food. We were in PCB for vacation looking for something to eat with our three kids. We were going to go to Pineapple Willy's, but it was SUPER crowded. We saw a sign for this restaurant, and it had crab legs, so we gave it a try. Now, the crab leg sign is misleading because, although it's a buffet, crab legs are not included in that. They are 9.99/lb, so keep that in mind if you're coming here expecting to get crab legs as a part of the buffet. Our kids are 13, 10, and 8, and we paid full price ($18.95) for the two older kids and 8.95 for our youngest. This does not include the drinks. Those were an extra $2.89 or so. The food was surprisingly good. I don't typically like Chinese buffets because the food always tastes low quality, but I really enjoyed everything I ate, including rice noodles, corn fritters, macaroni and cheese, and crab Rangoon. The ambiance was casual, and our waitress was friendly and attentive. We're glad we chose Jin Jin, and if I was from here, I would go again. read more

The food here tastes and looks like it has been dug out of a dumpster. The staff is very unprofessional and rude. It was bait and switch the price listed is different than what they charge and if you question them they gang up on you and the manager will call the police on you and have you escorted out and barred. STAY AWAY from the ROACH MOTEL. read more

We tried it expecting it to be okay and it wasn't don't waste your $35 on this place go somewhere else it has mine and my husband's stomach hurting really badly the gentleman that was a waitress he was really nice he had like 8 tables to himself . read more
