    Jin's Buffet, Conover
    Bruce K.

    I've visited my fair share of Chinese buffets over the years, and Jin's stands out as one of the better experiences I've had. The variety was impressive. Plenty of choices across the board, with fresh selections consistently replenished on the steam tables. Everything looked well-maintained and clean, which always sets the tone for a more enjoyable meal. I tried to keep things on the healthier side, focusing mostly on protein-rich dishes and steering clear of the sugary sauces that tend to dominate buffet spreads. The grilled meats and stir-fried vegetables were flavorful without being overly greasy, and I appreciated the effort to offer lighter options. I also sampled a few pieces from the sushi station. It's not exactly high-end sushi, but it was fresh, well-prepared, and satisfying enough to round out the meal. All in all, Jin's delivered a solid buffet experience with quality, cleanliness, and enough variety to make it worth a return visit. [Review 1197 of 2025 - 4382 in North Carolina - 24749 overall]

    The service was good, the food tasted good they had sushi and the price for it all was reasonable.

    Holes in the wall to allow pests in.

    The food is okay at times, but I just got freaked out a lot when I saw holes in the wall allowing pests inside. Looks so nasty. We never sat in this booth before so I never knew about this. Definitely rethinking this place now. The health department should come investigate this! Disgusting!

    Love Bubblys! Great food, great service, portions are awesome, location is great and the price of…read morethe food is also great. Definitely recommend!

    Absolutely disgusting. One of the filthiest restaurants I've ever seen. Some of the worst food I've…read moreever eaten. The littered parking lot and dirty front door should have told me to not walk in. But, I thought maybe I was being too "judgy" and plucked up my courage. Since They billed themselves as Asian fusion, I was hoping to see some unique Thai, Korean Japanese, etc offerings. I asked the gal at the front counter for suggestions and she recommended French fries. Fries are your best dish?!? She couldn't answer any of my questions about the rest of the menu. Strike 1. A phone call came in while we were discussing the menu and she took it. While she was on the phone, I noticed all the upcharge signs. A 4% charge for using a credit card. A charge if you want a chili oil. A charge if you wanted a cup of water. A charge saying all sauces are extra. Strike 2. I finally settled on one of their "Fan Favorites" - a pork ramen bowl. Paid (no, I'm not tipping you for taking my order) and sat down. The tables all looked really dirty. But I couldn't tell if it was dirt or rust. I sat down and immediately noticed dozens of dead bugs in the dust on the windowsill. They were on the floor, too. And they were flying all over the place trying to get out of the windows. Maybe I should have followed their instincts and tried to get out too. Strike 3. I picked up my dish when the buzzer rang (Seriously, WHY are you asking for tips?). First impressions were that it looked really bland. Basically a bunch of wet noodles and a half of an egg and some sketchy looking meat rolls. I dove in and it was just pure salt. No other flavors. Salty AF. Tried the meat. It was supposed to be "fatty pork" and it didn't disappoint...in a bad way. Stringy globs of inedible fat. It was so gross, I dumped it all. Strike 4. While exiting, I looked at the other diners meals. Most of them had the fries. Maybe I should have taken the cashier's suggestion...
