I was there for dinner. There was a decent selection of food but I don't know what was taken away since we got there an hour before closing, I was excited because I saw crab in some of the photos but there was none. The sushi bar seemed to have been closed but the owner seemed really sweet and took our order for sushi and brought it to our table since we were the only customers. The meat was nice but the rice it was on was really thickly packed. The food was generally pretty decent but what you would expect for a Chinese buffet in the middle of nowhere. They had a good fruit selection and fresh watermelon! Overall left feeling like I got my moneys worth and full and excited for the rest of my day which is mostly what you can ask. Yelp is asking me to talk about the vibe of the place, it was kind of dark and quiet mostly because no one was there at the time, but I have to emphasize it's a Chinese buffet in Medford oregon. read more

New Tin Tin Buffet - Chinese Near Me - Medford, Oregon

My friend and I had a delightful meal at the New Tin Tin Buffet in Medford this afternoon! The last time I ate at the old Tin Tin Buffet was many years ago pre-pandemic. They had really gone downhill with poor food quality and food running out. There were none of those problems today. There was an abundance of delicious food choices which were kept well stocked even though we were there at 3 pm between lunch and dinner. My friend doesn't eat red meat but there were ample chicken and seafood dishes to satisfy his hearty appetite. He remarked too on some of the unusual flavors~ everything wasn't bland and tasteless. I especially enjoyed several varieties of sushi as an appetizer before filling my plate with the hot food. Our table was kept cleared of our used plates as it was nice to start with a clean plate on each trip. We spent an hour and a half enjoying the tasty food and conversation. No need for me to eat dinner tonight! My friend remarked that he wished he lived closer to the New Tin Tin Buffet (we both live in Ashland) as he'd be eating there every day! We couldn't have had a better experience~ the New Tin Tin Buffet is terrific! read more

Me and my crew came here to this Chinese buffet last night after a long day of work. I know a buffet will please everybody cause they can all find stuff they like out of all the food out there. I have NO idea what all these bad reviews are about! We had a fabulous time eating dinner here at the Tin Tin Chinese buffet. The price on weekday dinners is around $18 ...and NO tax! Please tip though. This is a pretty big place with a decent sized buffet. There's more choices than I could even try. Old dried cold food? Not here! Everything was hot and fresh as I saw trays being replenished. We went around 5pm, so yeah if you are not so smart and show up 15 minutes before they close, no the food will not be fresh and many trays will be empty, cause no business is gonna fill trays with new food right at the end and then have to toss out a ton of food after they close! We were seated in a nice booth and there seemed to be a lot of other people enjoying the food here, plates piled high with seafood and other tasty looking foods. They have all the standard American Chinese food people expect, like sweet and sour pork, egg rolls, fried rice, hot and sour soup, broccoli beef and honey walnut prawns along with some dishes I didn't know what they were. But besides these standard dishes, some more authentic dishes were available as well, like deep fried calamari with jalapeno and salt, whole baked salmon and steamed white fish, stir fried green beans with garlic, salt and pepper fried whole prawns. No chicken feet though! Some dishes I've not see at a buffet were, pulled BBQ pork, Chinese BBQ pork, sweet and sour meatballs on a skewer and even custard tarts for dessert! There's plenty of choices for all tastes, even a section of spicy Korean foods as well as sushi rolls. There is even a cold foods and salad section ... I passed saving tummy room for hot foods! The quality of all the food was above average for buffets and or equal to a sit down and order ala carte place. Drinks besides water are not included in the base price. Sushi wasn't the best, but I come for the Chinese food. Service was fine. Every time we went back to the buffet to get more food, the dirty plates were cleared from the table upon my return. I'd recommend this place for an easy dinner for a large party or just two! Or five! read more

Good service, the sushi wasn't that good though and the koi pond looked kinda dirty and only had 3-4 fish in it

I have always loved Tin tin buffet. The staff is hard working, efficient, the food price is to be expected when getting seafood that is not cheap. Especially all you can eat! Come on! All of the negative reviews are ridiculous. Going to be going there day after Christmas- cannot wait to go!! Love this place !! read more

The normal chinese buffet. Good taste but no grill. Service was good and would probably go back when we're in Medford.

Very good food. Clean and comfortable and at a good price our waitress kept our glasses full. It was a Friday evening and still had tables and chairs available at 5 pm we will be going back as soon as possible read more

**DO NOT GO HERE FOOD POISONING ALERT **** Oh Lordy!! Walking up your net by homeless who have set their house up just next to the front door... Walking in the ambiance is so pretty!! With fish on both sides really pretty. That aroma smelt soooo promising. Had high hopes for the food nooope!! We were greeted by crusty rice, soup that was dried to the bottom of the container. Barely any sushi. They do not care about quality. Everything was dried out. On top of that the place was trashed!! It looks like they haven't cleaned in days!! Before we left my fiancé started puking up the food. I wanted to go in so bad and say something but I didn't. Do not go to this place. I'm from out of state and I'm 100% positive you will find something way better!! We've already stopped twice so he can puke .... read more

Pleasantly surprised with this place! Clean and beautiful inside the restaurant. We were shown to our table immediately and had drinks waiting by the time we came back with our first plates. Lots of options for good food. All the normal Chinese dishes like spring rolls, potstickers, fried rice, etc. I especially liked the Mongolian beef and the veggie low mein. There is also super fresh sushi. Just the basics but great quality. My daughter tried about 5 different kinds of shrimp! Great variety. They had fruit, salad, fresh veggies like cucumber. We added chili oil to almost everything as we like some spice. Some good cookies, amazing mango jellies, and soft serve for desert. We will go again for sure! read more

October 2024 -- Food was gross, atmosphere was dark and gloomy. I felt sick after eating here, and puked up all the food once I got home. $17 for lunch, I won't be returning. There are better places to eat for the same price. June 14, 2025 (4:30 PM) -- I tried to give this restaurant a second chance after saying I would never return last October. Big mistake! The woman at the front was not very friendly. I had to say hello two times to get her to greet me. I told them I would like to walk thru and see the buffet before I get a table. They hesitantly agreed, and I walked around. A lot of the dishes looked like they were missing. The dinner rush was about to start so I figured they would be bringing out fresh dishes. I came back to the cashier/greeter and told them I would like a table. She told me it's cash only because their card reader is offline. I didn't have cash and I wasn't going next door to pay an ATM fee just to eat dinner. I had to walk out of here and found better food elsewhere. This restaurant needs to get their act together. Bad customer service, mediocre food and cash only! I really will not be returning again! read more

Ate there today as we always had in the past and my mother gave the waitress her credit card to pay the bill and they lost my mother's card! Since they were not able to find it up at the register, they most likely gave her card to another customer without even validating if it even belonged to that person. A TOTAL NIGHTMARE! Waitress is incompetent and lacked total responsibility! This waitress was responsible the moment she took my mother's credit card until she brought it back! Another thing, they still have not fixed their Pepsi machine, it's been over a month and they promised they would be fixing the lines to the machine; If you order a Pepsi, and it taste off, it's because they still have not fixed the issue! WE WILL NEVER GO BACK!! read more

Great little buffet, everything was very fresh and clean. Service was excellent. They had tons of options for a small little place. Sushi was fresh and they had spicy mayo, the potatoes with pepper were delicious. read more

The food was pretty good but the service was not so.good we were a party of 6 they never brought us silverware when asked the only brought us 4.settings we got the rest from the waitress station ourselves and when we asked for drink refills only two of us got refills I think for the price drinks should be included since it is so hard to get refills. read more

The last time I went to Tin Tin it was before Covid. I've been really hesitant to come back because of the bad reviews. So after having a really nice experience I decided to post my own with pics We went on Wednesday at around 4 PM and it was great. If you're looking for affordable Americanized pan-Asian food, that is what you'll find here. Staff was consistently bringing out refills for food and the buffet was at food-safe temperatures as far as I could tell. Service was good and staff were keeping the buffet very clean. Buffets are a dying breed and I'm grateful this one still exists :) it's fun to go eat a lot of variety of food. Yes, it's buffet quality food, for buffet prices. If that's what you're in the mood for, you will find it here! read more

Online lunch price says 10$ .it is 18. Food cold and poor quality. Mistakes on both bills.

Decent selections, staff was friendly and attentive to our group but was a little pricey for the selection. Tables could have been cleaned a little better. Was a little sticky on the tables. Only thing I didn't care for, there were no small sauce dishes read more

Lots of different food, it was all great! Had some sushi rolls, yummy desserts! And they have beautiful fish in this pond you walk across a little bridge over. You can feed them (with fish food the employees give you) at certain times of the day I believe. The employees were attentive and friendly! This was a great buffet and I will go back the next time I'm driving through read more

I ussualy just get the coconut shrimp, general tso chicken, fried rice, salad bar and deserts. I've tried most other things and I don't want to be wasteful if I don't like it. read more

We came to Tin Tin Buffet 1.5 hours before closing, and it was a complete disappointment. Half the food trays were empty, and despite asking multiple times for fresh food, the staff just nodded and said "okay" but never actually made more. It felt like they were just waiting for us to leave. To make matters worse, they shut down the ice cream machine 30 minutes before closing because they "needed to clean it." Why advertise it if customers can't even get dessert toward the end of service? The food that was available was mediocre at best, and the overall experience was frustrating. If you're thinking about coming here within the last two hours of operation, don't bother--you'll be paying full price for scraps. Definitely not worth it. read more

Do not come here! We came to enjoy some Sushi and there was only crab rolls with a neon mystery vegetable in the middle and smelled like bad fish ( did not eat). Poor customer service and low quality food for a high price Not a sushi bar very little sushi !! read more

My family loves it here. It's one of my favorite restaurants. Lots of options and love the ambiance. We're always seated quickly and the hosts are always accommodating to whatever we need. read more

I love a great buffet. Small portions allow for fresh food rotation, which makes me confident on the quality and options. The Koi pond at the entrance is enjoyable. read more

Had an early dinner on Sunday ($19.99) at about 4:45 PM. It was fairly busy but the tables that were empty were clean, the floor was clean, people were very nice. The buffet was barely okay. Not a great selection for $20. Now, it would have been a 3-star review (OK) but I just looked at the receipt and the buffet is $16.00 and the Pepsi is $3. When someone says, "What would like to drink", they are indicating that it is included with the buffet. IMO. So, 1 Star was deducted for indicating the drinks were included. This is especially true since customers paid 'after' they ate, which is unusual for a buffet. For just a basic buffet and for that reason, I won't be back. Side Note: For the gentleman who was at the cash register/host stand, I don't suggest that you complain about your fellow employees (the lady who was cleaning the floor) to the customers. Thank you for your time. read more

As far as Chinese buffets goes, this place is pretty legit. I've been to many in my lifetime and this place has one of the most clean stations. A lot of variety as well. There was steamed fish in soy sauce (one of my favs)! The shrimp were FULL sized and in three dishes (honey shrimp, garlic shrimp, and boiled then chilled with shell on). A couple of reasons I put it at a 5-star. 1) Their vegetable selection was awesome! Lightly seasoned broccoli/carrots and garlic green beans (just like momma used to make). My kiddo loves vegetables and it's always a struggle to find a restaurant with a decent veggies. 2) Noodles they used for story fry is my FAV type! Thick and chewy. Not overly sauced. Again, like momma used to make. 3) Fresh fruits and jello. Great alternative to the sugary desserts after a heavy meal. Last time I went 3/19/22, they had lychee jello. Now, my mom didn't make that growing up, but it took me back to the mini lychee jellies of my childhood. 3) BBQ ribs...fall apart BBQ ribs. Now to the ok parts. They have a sushi section which was fairly decent considering it's a Chinese buffet. The sugary desserts weren't very interesting. They also don't have a large selection, but to be expected in a city like Medford. They had a frozen yogurt machine, which I always stay away from no matter which buffet I am at. Long story short, this place is a great value for what you can get for about $16 per adult. My 3 yo was charge $3. read more

Prices went up: Adult dinner is now $15.25 per person (over 10yrs old). Still an ok deal as long as you come hungry. The sushi selection is a-ok and they don't throw a fit when I removed all the rice and only ate the fish (making it sashimi) *thumbs up* On a Saturday evening ~7pm: plenty of food, dishes being refilled without being completely out, some seafood, plenty of what you expect from a chinese-american buffet. No fresh green salad, but plenty of vegetarian options. The ice cream machine was broken, but there was a small selection of desserts: cookies, flan, tiramisu and fruit (looks better than it tastes - not in season). We had to refill our own water cups due to having only a single server bussing the whole restaurant herself; not a big deal for us. I just felt bad for her on that Saturday night shift. Still a good option for feeding teenagers. read more

This place was hyped by a local when I first moved up here. Sadly, I gave them two tries, and neither experience was good. Service was average, but sub-par food does not make for palatable Asian cuisine. And, for the vertically challenged, the seats need restuffing in the booths. For a buffet, it was very disappointing. Dull. Unappealing in its display. I do not like giving bad reviews. I worked in "the biz" many years ago. However... I'm not at all enthused for a "3rd Time's the Charm" visit. read more

Horrible food. If you're looking for diarrhea alley, you found it. Everything is over heated, not kept to proper food safety temps. I walked in and it looked like a dump, one of the guys in a booth said he wasn't feeling well and dashed to the bathroom. I turned around and left. read more

this buffet had to worst food i've ever had, the cold food was hot and the hot food was cold. everything was very dry and didn't taste right. we're from nc visiting so this place was a big disappointment. we paid $72.00 for 4 people and got absolute trash. no one came to fill our drinks or take plates till the very end, it was so dark and poorly lit in the restaurant most likely to hide the poor quality of their food. do not go here. not worth the $18 per person, read more

This is my go-to for Chinese food on a really cold day, on a day that I feel like I need a multicourse meal, on a day when I feel like comfort foods with a variety of flavors. The interior is welcoming, the koi fish in the pond at the entrance always so enthralling and he food outstanding! Two things: when selecting a soup bowl, pay close attention to the handle - even though that's where you will intuitively hold it, of course. Some of the older bowls or cups have buildup right where he human hands hold them, see the photo, and I think they just need to be cleaned more thoroughly or changed out. Obviously, I still enjoyed my soup as the bowl itself that interacts with the soup was clean and spotless, but the handle was almost a major barrier to me even wanting to use the soup bowls altogether. Second thing: don't forget to ask specifically for the tool to open crab meat from the crab legs during the dinner menu; those are not just handed out to every diner but if you ask, they'll politely bring them. And a third thing... even though I said I'd have two: try the tea. So good, so strong towards the bottom of the teapot. I'll be back, my goal is to treat myself to this buffet at least once a month. Because there are many healthy dishes one wouldn't expect in a buffet off the interstate exit: the food trays are constantly changed out and refilled with piping fresh steamed veggies and all sorts of yummy entreés like mushroom chicken and salmon. read more

New Tin Tin Buffet - Soup - the handle is getting buildup even though the bowl itself was very clean and obviously clean enough for me to really enjoy the soup - Chinese Near Me - Medford, Oregon

The food was pretty decent, but I don't think I'll go back. We went an hour before closing and they were still putting out fresh food. Mostly it was flavorful and tasted fresh, my favorite was the cabbage and fried dough. Soft serve was a little disappointing as it wasn't creamy, but all of the cookies were tasty. The only reason I won't go back is because the koi fish up front are obviously overcrowded and stressed. They were all gasping for air at the surface, which means they don't have enough oxygen in their water. It was really sad to see. read more

Awesome food and service - negative reviews are from the Brooklyn hipsters that wander into the valley sometimes and they expect things to be a certain way read more

I have eaten there about four times and only once the food was hot. So the last time I ate, there was about four days ago. The food was so cold. My wife only had a half a plate of food and I had about a plate. I told the lady like normal and she just looked at me and said oh I'll tell the cook not sorry not how about you come back next time and give you one free buffet pass. So if you want a cold food buffet, this is the place to go with poor customer service and this is the place for you if I could give it a half a star I would give it .5. read more

Food is kind of bad and definitely not worth the price of $17 per person. The choices were also quite limited compared to other buffets I have been to. read more

Cold tasteless overpriced food . We won't be back. Used to be our favorite place to eat. Will definitely be getting the Costco dogs from now on. read more

Honestly one of my favorite restaurants in the Medford area. We've been going here on and off for years now, fantastic service and for the most part amazing food. Only real downside I've had here is that they do not offer gloves for people serving themselves, so I have caught COVID here as well as the Flu a couple times in the past, most likely due to children. But otherwise amazing place, and I highly, highly recommend it. read more

My husband and I have eaten here 4 times, the first time was very good, the other 3 times were absolutely horrible!!! The food was cold, and barely edible, 7 hours later I had severe throwing up and diarrhea. We will never eat at this place again, what a waste of money!!! read more

Mediocre at best, not too bad for the price, just never changes. How about changing up the menu for the next time we're in town?

Looking at the reviews we almost dismissed this place. I'm so glad we didn't. The food was so fresh and the service could not have been better. Yes it's not a stand alone restaurant but situated in a shopping plaza. A very busy plaza. Recently reopened after the pandemic with every favorite dish. Coconut shrimp, beef:broccoli, sweet and sour, sushi, egg flower soup, Nothing was running out. Fresh food was roughy out immediately. A huge display of desserts. The cost is $15.00 all day. Well worth it! read more
