Overcharged!!!!!! we were there last night and they charged us 92 dollars for 3 adults and 3 kids all below 8 years old. My aunt is the one paying which is 73 years old when i ask her how much was it she said dinner was 92 dollars i thought 15.99 for adult and 6.99 only for kids? read more

This is the second time we have gone to eat this restaurant. This is a great experience. They have a free drink at the all of the dinner time ，the dishes they make are particularly delicious, and there are many types of seafood. they attach great importance to cleanliness and the waiter's attitude is very good. In short, I believe I will take my family with me again. This is a very good restaurant nearby. read more

The family really enjoys a great Asian buffet. So we set out to Lu's for Sunday brunch and it was very nice. Yet, when we returned a month or so later we were very disappointed. My wife loves all the shrimp dishes but especially the boiled shrimp. She was disappointed with all shrimp dishes as the shrimp were much smaller than the last time we were there. Steamed shrimp were over cooked and mushy. Other dishes I tried were either overly salty or too much sauce, too little meat. We won't be returning read more

The "Coming Soon" sign has been on this place for at LEAST 8 months...maybe a year. And it finally opened...and IT'S GOOD! Nice variety, stuff I've never seen anywhere else, great salad bar (but its in the back and by the time you see it...your plate is full)...but who needs a salad bar at a buffet? Tender chicken, Vietnamese food, Korean BBQ, Sushi, Hibachi, lots of desserts including at least 10 flavors of ice cream (Okay...the cotton candy flavor tasted mostly like vanilla...but it LOOKED like cotton candy!) The strawberry cheesecake flavor tasted like strawberry cheesecake. We will definitely be back! Oh! And all their fortune cookies had positive messages. read more

All-you-can-eat $16 per person is a great deal! I've eaten there 2x now. The best dishes are the lo mein, coconut shrimp, fried rice, and plaintains. The lo mein is so tasty that I HAD to come back for seconds. The coconut shrimp is creamy and good, but it was only there the first time I came. There is a great selection, including egg rolls, shrimp, crab, squid, sushi, etc. They even have pizza, mac 'n cheese, and garlic bread for folks who don't like Asian cuisine. All of the food tastes great! The staff did a great job clearing away plates promptly. The dessert section is my absolute favorite. It's hard to choose between the ice cream, Jell-O, chocolate pudding, chocolate fountain, sugar cookies, brownies, and more. I had 2 servings of chocolate pudding (yum) and ice cream topped with chocolate from the fountain. The Jell-O is a little harder than I expected (I typically like the wobbly, soft kind), but overall wonderful experiences! BEWARE IF YOU HAVE A BANANA ALLERGY! A friend of mine accidentally ate a dessert that looked like lemon but was actually banana and ended up with a bad reaction. The desserts aren't labeled, so please be careful! read more

I'm sorry but, this place just sucked!! The normal Chinese food was gross. The ambience was nothing. The food bars were small. The best and only good thing was that they had a decent desert area but that was it read more

I have been to several Chinese buffets, but this is by far the best! The food was excellent and it has been a long time since I have had more than 1 plate. The shrimp dishes were hot and tasty. The boiled shrimp was like so smooth and tasty, the shell just fell off. I am very picky about my mac and cheese, the one here was very cheesy and tasted great. I wish I could have tasted more of the selections, but I was so full I couldn't eat anymore. One of the best options is the icecream, they have several flavors to choose from including, strawberry shortcake, cotton candy, and butter pecan. The place was very clean and the service was excellent. The only downfall was that my hot tea did not say hot. It takes a lot to get this kind of review from me. I will definately return and I hope the experience remains just as good! A+ read more

The service was good. The servers brought out drinks and cleared away dishes regularly. The pho and Mongolian BBQ was better than the other buffet food. The food didn't taste too salty. The fried shrimp was mushy. The price is very inexpensive so as long as you don't expect much, then you won't be disappointed. I definitely felt like I got my money's worth. read more

This was an OK buffet, but last time we went the sushi was off and tasty "fishy". The prices keep rising and quality and cleanliness keeps going down. I'm done with this place. read more

Went for Sunday night dinner. The food was cooked well and very delicious. Nothing was over cooked. I'm very surprised for buffet food. The restaurant was clean and staff was very friendly. read more

Canteen looking dirty place with limited choices of poor prepared food. The only positive is that it's quite cheap. No go for us.

I came here on a whim after a long drive from Ocean City. Yes I was hangry and needed options so I decided to try Lu Buffet & Grill. The dinner price was $13.99 per person. I noticed so many seafood options so for the amount of selections they had, it was very reasonably priced. Check their website for different rates depending on the day and time. It reminded me of Korshi buffet in Centerville back when it was in business. They have Japenese (sushi, hibachi, etc.), Korean, Chinese, American, different types of pastries, ice cream section (so many flavors to choose from), and a huge chocolate fountain fondue to dip fruits in. The quality of food was decent. Some selections were delicious and some lacked flavor. The servers were friendly and pleasant! They kept the dining area clean and even wiped the booth chairs down. The place had plenty of seating and private rooms for parties. The restroom could use more cleaning. It had paper towels everywhere! Plenty of parking in the shopping center. Overall, a decent experience in my opinion. If you're super hungry and want plenty of options, it's worth checking out. read more

the food was hard, isnt good at all. dont waste your money in here. the service is alright although please improve on your fold!!

Price as of late September, 2021 was $11.49 plus tax per adult for the lunch buffet. Overall decent price since it is all you can eat. Selection and quality were standard for "China Buffet" style. Relatively clean. Staff was nice enough. read more

This place has apparently been "open" for a while but we've been here 3 times at different times and the doors are locked. Terrible business. read more

Sea food boom and the vegetables loved the fried rice and they bring you your drinks nice family place

Nice people and large selection of food and you can't beat the price. This is a nice place to take the family if you can't decide what you want. I love that they have a soup bar and a noodle bar where you can get made to order dishes. They also have a nice array of deserts and ice cream. read more

For $10 the lunch buffet is great. Have to hit up the hibachi. Has a little bit of everything sushi chocolate fountain ice cream seafood variety of chicken and shrimp(fried,stuffed,steamed) read more

I simply love this buffet it's great close by and best way of me getting full for under $10 I can not say enough about this place but just to go and enjoy yourself there read more

The place was clean. The variety was good. There were fried shrimp, chicken, fries, and also steamed fish and meat. I love the Hibachi where they fry the noodle, vegetables and shrimp in front of you. The price was an unbelievable $10! read more

I am not a fan of this type of place (buffet), but I have family members who love them and so I find myself occasionally at them. It was $50 for three adults -- there was a $1 discount for a senior or for being a veteran. None of us are soda drinkers, so that would have been extra. I enjoyed the mongolian grill in the back. There was not a line when I arrived and it was still a lengthy wait, but worth it. I should have piled more on the plate or better yet, piled up 2 plates -- it was the only non-desserts I actually liked. The other two adults loved the sushi options; the fried shrimp; the fried anything. I tried a couple of the steamed options -- the dumplings weren't steamed all the way through -- very chewy in the middle. The fried dumplings were much better. The steamed fish was very very dry. The two soups we tasted were chicken egg drop and hot and sour. Both were fine. Maryland crabs weren't good at all. Amazing quantity of desserts. The chocolate fountain had too many children using it. Parents don't seem to notice that their children are sticking their fingers in it and tasting. The ice cream is good and again, it's situated high enough that most kids cannot serve themselves and parents are not getting out of their seats to help them. There's a sign warning that you can eat all you want, but you will be charged extra for wasted food. I was wondering how it was enforced. Seems like a customer service nightmare waiting to happen. But I supposed it explains the napkins full of food I saw a women dump into the trash in the ladies' loo. read more

This is the best Chinese buffet that I've ate at in the area, although it is only my 2nd one. The salad bar had plenty of toppings and lots of fruit options. The meat on the Korean grill, tasted fresh and authentic. Next time, I will try, the habachi. They also had lots of other options, with the usual Chinese fare that tasted fresh and tasted hot and fresh. I liked that a drink was included with the meal! The restaurant was also nice and clean! read more

Food was okay needs more seasoning. Only thing I dislike was the smell , it is next to a laundromat and it made the place smell like a laundromat and detergent , it made my stomach hurt and it just made the food seem unappealing to me read more

I thought this place sucked. Maybe they are only good during peek times because I went in for an early dinner and there was hardly any food at all. The food that was there was terrible. Ate what I could and then just had to leave. Waste of money. read more

Overall is good, the noodles are simple , the brisket is hard but other than the food taste good and the place is clean, but I will prefer that they keep the cleaning supplies out of sight like the mop. read more

One star for the service and another star for the guy from the KBBQ section. Food are below avg for a Chinese buffet standard. Crab legs are included in dinner buffet but they were too salty that I couldn't swallow it. My family probably won't go back there. read more

Came here for a quick dinner on a Friday. It was a little early for dinner and the place was not really busy. The service was pretty good, mostly collecting used plates and refilling drinks. The place is also pretty clean, the booth seats are kinda uncomfortable to sit in though; you end up sinking deep into it. The food selection is similar to what you'd think most Asian buffets have, but they also have a lot of options including sushi, hibachi grill and a soup noodle station. The quality of food isn't great though. I tried most of the selections and there were maybe 3-4 things I actually went back for seconds. Most of it is too greasy or under-flavored. For the price, I would say it's still worth it but I definitely just stick with the few things I liked. read more

Been here several times and always thought their quality was decent. However, this time, the quality of the food has decreased unfortunately. The food did not look or taste fresh except for the made to order pho. Last time I was there, they gave us disposable gloves for trips to get the food but now the gloves are on the side table and I guess you decide if you want to use it for trips to the buffet table which most of the guests do not use. There was no enforcement of this either. My husband used to linger at the dessert table but today it was only one trip and he did not finish what he had gotten. read more

The food could be hotter here and I mean by temperature so far so good. The sushi should look like it had someone back there making a fresh every minute. It's OK just OK was hoping for more but it's just OK read more

I visited this location last weekend, and let me tell you, it was a great experience! The food tasted great and fresh which is something usually not found at buffets nowadays. Will definitely be returning! read more

We tried it last night and I was a little disappointed. A lot of dishes on the steam tables looked old or dried up. While there was a variety, I preferred the stir fried crabs. The roast beef (carve it yourself) was very well done and dry. My son-in-law loved the pineapple fried rice. read more

The food quality was not good. It looks nothing like the pictures I saw. Very disappointed. The only reason I gave it 2 stars was because of hibachi. As per my spouses, that was good compared to the buffet options they offer. read more

Before visiting this place i would recommend visiting both hibachi and golden star(abit bad). Because this Lu buffet and grill, is a mixture of both. Its price is understandable and has a wide selection of ice cream. But the foods not that great most of the things here are bland. The only few good foods i recommend is the snow crab legs and the roasted duck. But if i had to rate it, i would not give it full star just because of the overall bland taste in food, but the ice cream though theres 8 flavors. read more

It sucks and the food sucks it's dirty there was oranges with hair on them someone pissed on the bathroom floor the shit was disgusting do not eat here. They snatched my water from me cause I asked for a soda instead and they were rude. read more

Went here just after the grand opening several weeks ago and was totally impressed. I thought that this might become one of my favorite local restaurants. Not anymore. Wife and I went there today for a late lunch and we were very disappointed. The food was still OK but now families are treating the buffet as a playground for their kids. I saw unattended kids loading up their plates so that much of the food wound up on the floor. I saw another using his fingers to take mussels and line them up on the counter. But the capper was two small children using their fingers to sample six different flavors of ice cream (they couldn't reach the six on the second row) while the mother stood by and was filling her own plate. In addition, service was spotty. I had to ask for drink refills and never saw the server again. I don't think we'll ever go back here again. read more

A great buffet. Great for kids and has alot of food to choose from. The reason for only 4/5 stars is because it is kinda expensive.

You are playing russian roulette with your health eatting here. The food was so gross, I'd rather eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. My mom left a tip, the waitress was pissed and threw the tip tray. We wasted our time and money. Avoid! read more

The service is really bad with an attitude I don't recommend coming here u will have a bad experience and it's not worth ur money

I like this place. They have a lot of different options and it isn't too far from my house. My daughter likes a lot of food and there are a lot of options to choose from. I personally like the seafood and pizza. They do a great job of all the sides too. I look forward to eating there this evening. read more
