    Buffet Standouts: naan, chickpeas, dahl, chili chicken, Saag Paneer, cauliflower. Honorable mention: chicken tikka
    Jeannie K.

    Fri/Sat lunch buffet, 11-2pm, $16.95/person. That's all you need to know to get to this spot. Buffet Standouts: - Soft, warm basket of naan served in a basket. - My favs were the chickpeas, dahl, Saag Paneer, cauliflower. No, I'm not vegetarian. These were just good. - Rice pudding is a sweet stop to end the journey. - Honorable mention: chili chicken (which tastes like breaded, fried, and sauced Chinese chicken) and chicken tikka - milder tikka sauce than what I'm used to but not bad. The goat should've been cooked longer with more seasoning. I didn't care for the other fake chicken (vegetarian "chicken"). There's also a side bar of picked veggies and chutneys. I'm glad that there's a reasonably priced Indian option in the area now where I can get my fix without driving down to Hilcroft. I would give the food a solid 3,5 and wouldn't necessarily order these dishes separately, but to try them all in one go is a gem.

    This place has amazing food! We ordered the chicken Mughal, saag paneer, Nepalese chicken jhol momo, and garlic naan. On this visit, we ordered all of the dishes "mild", but there is the option to make it much hotter if you like. The service was great. The waiter and manager were quite attentive in making sure we had everything we needed. This restaurant has only been open a couple of months, and is planning to have a lunch buffet starting sometime in January. I am really looking forward to see the variety they'll have.

    What happened?! We love this place, but the last couple of times have been different. The Samosas taste different, the tikka masala tastes different, and the naan is no longer fluffy. It's thin and rubbery. Very disappointed with the last few times we've gone/gotten takeout. I've started to get the butter chicken now, because it's more consistent, over the Tikka Masala

    Happened to go to this restaurant because of a Groupon that I had. It was a 50 min ride for our party of 3 but as it turned out was worth it. You should note that the directions through the Groupon app. are wrong. Just enter the name of the restaurant in Waze or Google Maps. Location: in a strip mall with ample parking in a well lit lot. Ambience: large seating area with well spaced booths and tables. Place is clean. There are table cloths, proper silverware and dinner plates. The single wait staff was friendly, knew the menu and attentive The food: honestly some of the best we have had in a long time. We ordered the Chicken Chilly Mommos as a shared starter- was served on a sizzling, steamy hot cast iron pan. The Mommos are to die for. Have never had anything this tasty in an appetizer before. Had to talk to the owner-Chef. Found out the dish is his original creation and no one in Houston serves it this style. For our mains we had the Chicken Hariyali- morsels of chicken marinated in a spinach cream marinade then grilled. Tender, mouth watering and tingles the taste buds with a burst of multiple flavors. Accompanying this we had the Dal Makhani and a Chicken Kadhai. All were spiced just right and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The food was so good we ordered an additional 3 entrees to go. Portion sizes are good and prices are reasonable. This mini feast could end only one way- with a steaming mug of Masala Chai. Highly recommend this restaurant. Will definitely be back- with my entire family. Disclaimer- A copy of this review will be posted elsewhere as well.

    Always get the food from TooGoodToGo app. It's cheap and very good portion size. Different every time with great flavors. Quick and easy pickup.

    Garlic Naan

    I recently tried Momo for the first time at a potluck and I was looking around the area for good momo spots and I stumbled upon Namaste Curry and Mo:Mo and they did not disappoint. We ordered Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Chili MoMo, and Garlic Naan. The chicken tikka masala was super flavorful and fragrant. They give you an option to add more spice if you want that extra kick. The chicken chili momo is a must try! The momo wrapper was super crispy and the sauce pairs so well with the filling inside. The garlic naan is hands down the best garlic naan I have tasted. I am a garlic girl and there was a generous amount of chopped garlic on top. The naan was very buttery and golden and I couldn't stop eating it.

    Amazing experience. My favorite was the Chicken Tikka Masala. Service was well, the ambiance was authentic, and satisfying.

    This place has some of the best Indian food i have had and we will definitely be back! Me and my son came for lunch and were the only ones there so we had the place to ourselves and the food was delicious and came quickly. The mango lassi was great as well.

    Tried this restaurant for the first time. Was welcomed the minute we waked in. The wait staff asked us immediate we would like to drink and if we had a preference in where we would like you sit. Handed us the menu and told us to let him know if we had any questions about the menu or needed suggestions. He suggested the dumplings and asked what level of spice we liked. He was very informative and knowledgeable about their menu. While he put in our appetizer he brought our drinks and went over the main menu. The pictures of the food we ordered do not do it justice! The smell was amazing and it tasted even better! We could not even finish all of it. They came over several times to check on us to make sure everything was ok and the owner even came over to thank us for coming in! Even if you are not familiar with Indian food there will be something here for you to enjoy and the staff will be more than willing to assist you .can not wait to go back and try something else!

    One of a kind experience! My friends and I love to visit this buffet whenever we're in the area…read more Even though the quality has changed over the years, this Vietnamese buffet still has so much to offer and a cheap price. More recently, they've changed to have the servers directly serving the food, which I appreciate more for safety and health. Some notable areas include their soup station, where Vietnamese soups are portioned out in your personal bowl, and their dessert station, where you can find pandan waffles and cold soup-like desserts (che). Staff was attentive to us even though we were a big party, and it felt like we were able to be there for a while to eat to our heart's content. I was able to try a bit of all their dishes, and I enjoyed everything from their seafood oysters to Vietnamese crepe-like dish.

I was impressed by the wide selection they had. They had a noodles/soup station, grilling station, general food area and desserts station. I think overall the food was pretty good for a buffet/AYCE restaurant! The standouts are for sure the soups and desserts. I was in heaven with that unlimited che!!! I was also impressed by the service! The moment we sat down, we had a few staff members check on us and even offered us a tray of crabs that they brought directly to our table. At all food stations, the food is served to you and not self serve like a usual buffet setup. Would love to visit again when I come back to Houston!

There's dimsum, some American food, Chinese classics like kung pao, sauerkraut fish, crawfish, pineapple fried rice, and just too many to count. + Several soups to choose from, including the hot & sour soup, which was really good! + Several juices and desserts to choose from. Juices were slightly on the sweet side, and at least the rose was mixed with jasmine tea. + Sushi looked okay, good if you're okay with 'buffet' sushi. + Really good weekday lunch pricing, only $23.99 for adults! - Sauerkraut fish and the black bean spare ribs looked good but were kinda disappointing. Fish didn't have enough flavor, and the spare ribs weren't steamed long enough to be tender and 'fall apart'. - The sign mentioned milk tea, but they didn't have any. I guess they didn't update it. All in all, probably one of the best Chinese buffets in Houston! Worth trying if you're in the area.

    The google reviews, videos, and other media that pops up when you look this place up is very…read moremisleading. Based on the content, we were lead to believe this was a high end seafood buffet with snow crab, lobster, and piles of sushi and other perks you don't typically get with Asian buffets around town. We were in the mood for all those things so we thought why not try something new? We showed up for dinner and it was a ghost town, which should have been our first sign. The interior is very large consisting mostly of seating plus the buffet tables and stations. The floors were dirty, the bathroom was very dirty, and the whole place just struck me as a big red flag once I had a chance to walk around and pay attention to detail. There were crab legs, but they were small and mushy from being overcooked. One of the videos showed mountains of perfectly cooked lobster, but in reality I found a steam tray full of mushy split lobster pieces which were mostly knuckles and bits. The sushi area had about the same options you'd find elsewhere some rolls, nigiri, and sashimi pieces left out. The hot pot and hibachi options were unmanned and dark What was on offer was what you could get at just about any other Asian buffet around town for far less money. Dry lo mein, fried rice, sweet buns, cardboard pizza, shrimp, raw oysters just sitting out on melted ice, fish filets, ice cream, jello, etc. Like I said at the top, they must have really really gone downhill from their heyday when they took all those videos and pics, because the place looked NOTHING like that. Service was fine for someone who notices when you stand up for seconds and takes your old empty plates and refills your drinks. They charged us $40 per person and $20 for our daughter who had half a plate of food before being full. All that plus a couple sodas and the bill was just North of $100. The good news is I went and checked it out, so you don't have to.

    The difference between Royal Buffet (君臨閣) and other Chinese buffets around this part of town comes…read moredown to size and variety. The plus side (#1) is the abundant parking, practically guaranteed seating, and options that skew on the more authentic side of things. The downside is knowing the limitations that come with affordably priced buffets and quality of food. The official entrance is from the parking lot between Vinh Hoa (#2) and the massage. Plenty of folks will also enter from the back, which is through the Dynasty Plaza mall and takes a bit longer. It then becomes a question of stairs (parking lot) versus an escalator (mall). At $18-24 (lunch to holiday pricing), the prices aren't too steep for AYCE food. Kids 3 and under eat free but are otherwise subject to $13-14 per person. Non-water drinks are $2.39 a person, so definitely get as many refills as possible. The place is as massive on the inside as it looks on the outside. Window side seating offers an elevated view of Chinatown, but don't focus too much on the excessive finger prints along the windows. The seating is so abundant that almost any size group should have zero problem finding space. There is also a large private room that is ideal for special functions, equipped with TVs and a sound system. Food wise, it's a hodgepodge of all food types. Here's a breakdown in the stations: Mongolian Grill / Noodle Soup: This is a combo station where one can customize their stir fry. I had decent results with lo mein, an egg, some vegetables with beef slices. The person cooking drizzled sesame oil, soy sauce seasoning, and water and each time it took around 3-5 minutes. The noodle soups are a bit more standard but the options here are the noodle options are wonton noodle, beef noodle, seafood noodle, and beef pho. I wouldn't recommend ordering the latter. Fruits & Salads / Cold Dishes / Seafood: A standard selection of cold fruit salads, which is unsurprisingly the least exciting part of the buffet. I'm impressed with the variety of the sushi on the seafood end, but the presentation and fish quality is extremely mediocre. It won't deter most folks, since most people perceive value by loading up on the rolls. When in doubt, shoot for the sashimi. Entrees: With the exception of the eyesore dim sum and standard fried food selection, there is a solid selection of hot food. The weekend offerings is probably the best they'll have, but some standouts here included the thin ribeye slices, a solid mapo tofu with a kick, well seasoned clams, fish slices, pork spare ribs, a very solid steamed fish, and several varieties of fried noodle. Folks might enjoy the Chinese-American selection, which should have all the classics (sesame chicken, beef with broccoli, marinated chicken wings, etc.) and then some. Serviced as a decent job of clearing tables, offering water refills, cleaning the food counters, and replenishing empty trays. I appreciate some small touches, such as their multicolored plates for different selections, bathrooms, and well marked labels. Buffet lovers who are in it for the thrill of copious portions will likely enjoy what's available here. __________ (#1) Aside from one's waistline. (#2) https://www.yelp.com/biz/vinh-hoa-houston

    I'm reviewing from the POV of an allium-free vegetarian. The owner of the now closed Pine Forest…read moreworks here and they have an entire two rows (?) of vegetarian food that he is in charge of. It's pretty decent and takes up almost 50% of what they offer, so not bad if you follow a vegetarian diet. Do note that you pay the same price regardless of what you eat. Likely not food allergy friendly; we fed my kid with the food allergies before we came. This place is fairly new and is on the second floor of Dynasty Plaza. A decent amount of parking but it can fill up fast during the busy hours as there are a lot of restaurants there. We initially scouted out the place a week before and it was almost empty, but we did go during the slow hours. This time, I met up with my omnivorous friend at noon and there were a good amount of tables that were occupied. It is a huge space so if it were smaller, it would seem busier, but most people spread out. It's about $18 per person for the weekdays and about $24 per person on the weekends. Kids are around $11 each. This price does not include the beverage station/drinks but you do get complimentary water. There's a sign saying you can't stay for longer than 2 hours. You pay first and then seat yourself... almost. Someone came with us with our waters and asked us where we wanted to sit and placed our drinks on the table. We chose a more isolated place. They don't have actual napkin dispensers. Every table has soy sauce, sriracha, and a bag of napkins. No caddy. Very casual. They offer a lot of different foods. You can order stir fry/noodles that they make just for you, there's an international section consisting of fried chicken, fries, even a few soups, a sushi section, fruit and salads, the 2 vegetarian sections I mentioned earlier, and a dessert section. I honestly just focused on the vegetarian and dessert sections. The food was good as expected. Less greenery than one would think when you think of vegetarian food but there is some. I thought it was pretty good except for the fact that I could only eat one full plate, but I managed to sample almost everything in that one plate. They've got things you might recognize from Pine Forest but also items that are new, so that is nice. They have an interesting shaved ice section, but the ice is sitting there... but the ice bed it's on isn't cold enough to keep it from melting. I like the idea, but the execution could be much better. They have small diced fruit, beans, and grass jelly as well as random liquids you can add on (syrup)? I think that they could definitely provide bowls of fresh shaved ice (the guy manning that counter looked pretty bored) and offer more toppings where the platter of shaved ice is. The dessert section is a bunch of cakes, but they do offer individual cups of Blue Bunny ice cream (vanilla, strawberry, chocolate). My kid loved the mango one the most. She ate 3. I thought the mocha (?) one I tried was on the dry side. My friend got a chocolate one and she agreed. Overall, pretty decent if you go for the vegetarian items. The price of $18 isn't terrible, especially if you eat more than me. However, I'm not sure if it's worth it to pay $24 on the weekends. My kids don't eat a lot; my daughter only ate a few bites of the rice noodles and 3 mango cakes. There's a reason why we don't bring them to buffets. BUT if you've got a big eater for a child, then go right ahead. I definitely think drinks should be included. It's a BUFFET. As for the meat items, my friend said they were okay. The seafood could be more fresh. They should label better though. Some sections have labels but they're mostly wrong. The restrooms are sound the side and we're pretty clean. I like how they have a lower sink for kids/wheelchairs. They definitely have some things to improve on and iron out overall. The Pine Forest owner did say that they might get rid of the vegetarian section. Once that happens, I guess this place won't be an option for us. Not sure if that will mean they'll focus on more meat items, but perhaps they should perfect/improve on what they already have if the reviews I've heard on those are mediocre instead of doing too much.

    I had a fantastic time at Sweet Kpot! From the moment we walked in, the staff was welcoming and…read moreattentive. The restaurant has a clean, modern vibe and the atmosphere is energetic but still comfortable. The food was really good as well! At first, my boyfriend and I didn't expect much, but everything that we ordered turned out to be amazing :) Our favorites was the bulgogi wrap, shrimp and mushroom skewers, candied potatoes, and the bingsu! Definitely will be back :)

    I came here the day after Thanksgiving and wanted to give it a try with my family. The place was…read morecompletely empty and only one server was working. I get it - it's right after the holidays so staffing could be short. The server we had wasn't exactly enthusiastic, just did the bare minimum. Dishes piled up and we weren't asked about refills. You'd figure because there was only 1 group that the service would be attentive, but nope! The food that we ordered from the kitchen were all super fresh and delicious. My favorites were the bulgogi gimbap, eggroll (tiny rolled egg omelette), and chicken wings! They come out super hot - loved them all. The hot buffet bar was not filled at all, some were even just empty. I found it disappointing that we didn't get to try a lot of their items. The hot buffet bar was really scarce, I mean, just fried dumplings and fries but they were refilled really slow and some never had refills. The boba bar was empty and never filled. The DIY ramen station was closed off. I tipped only because I felt like I had to, but the service was abysmal. I would come back but maybe for lunch instead of dinner. Hopefully service improves.

    This BBQ spot felt like the kind of place where you can truly slow down and enjoy a good meal…read more The aroma of grilled meat fills the air, but in a warm, comforting way rather than anything overwhelming. The meat was fresh and perfectly cooked--crispy on the outside, tender inside, and deeply satisfying. The side dishes were thoughtfully done as well, light and refreshing. I really appreciated the atmosphere here--relaxed, unpretentious, and just right for a long conversation or even a quiet meal on your own. Service was easygoing and attentive in a very natural way--present when needed, never intrusive. Overall, it's the kind of place I'd happily return to--not just for the food, but for how comfortable it makes you feel.

    GEN BBQ isn't really Korean BBQ to me--it's more like an Asian-style BBQ restaurant. The Korean…read moredishes they advertise don't taste very authentic, especially the soups. If you're looking for traditional Korean flavors, this probably isn't the place. The meat quality was also inconsistent. Some cuts were decent, but others came out shredded or chopped up in a way they normally shouldn't be. I think they could definitely improve both the quality of the meat and the side dishes. The service was a bit slow, although our server was very kind and friendly. We ordered alcohol at the beginning of our meal, but it didn't arrive until after our food came out, and only because we reminded them. Overall, I'd rate the food 4.5/10 and the service 3/5. It wasn't a terrible experience, but I don't think I'd come back if I'm craving authentic Korean BBQ.
