An old school eatery, pretty basic on the inside, nothing fancy just good food and kind service. We started with the Burschetta Napoletana appetizer. It was a traditional style serving. With a slice of toasted bread, fresh diced tomato, onion and chopped basil, with a little evoo drizzle. Very simple and good. Refreshing and tasty a good start. They had Oysters Rockerfeller on the special menu the night of our visit, so we had to give them a try. They were again very traditional, well made and flavorful. For my entree I went for the Salmon Portofino. A beautiful portion, vibrant and full of flavor. A large bowl, with a nice piece of salmon cooked in a wonderful broth. Line caught fish, pan seared and cooked with cherry tomatoes, capers and artichoke hearts. It was a very good meal. 3.5 Stars rounded up for the kind staff. 01266

This Hibachi Grill and Supreme Buffet is located in a relatively spacious building structure with…read morean extensive all-you-can-eat food items, including all types of chicken, beef, pork, fish, and seafood selections. Besides this, it has a small salad bar area, Hibachi area, Sushi area, and a very small dessert area with a selection of ice creams as well. The decor of the place is nothing fancy nor modernized and many of the furniture are a bit run down. The "make believe" what looks like a fountain, without water, in the entrance is nothing to brag about and the artwork on the wall look kind of cheap. As one enters the restaurant there is an order and pay counter where a person who seems like the manager gives you a warm greeting with a smile and efficiently takes your order, charges you and has one of the hosts take you to your booth. The price for the buffet is not too expensive and considering the large selection of food items available, this may be what continues to attract many people to eat at this place. We decided to eat here today because other buffets and opened restaurants around had a wait of more than an hour. Once you're seated at your booth, a server is assigned to bring you your drink and refills, and to remove your empty dishes once you finish eating what's on them. We had a very friendly and efficient young man who was always coming around to check on us with a smile and providing exceptional customer service. Now, if we talk about the food, which is the main reason one goes to a restaurant in the first place, leaves much to be desired. The quality of many of the items available is very poor and/or not cooked well. The turkey slices served were dry and not to fresh as well as many of the seafood items were lukewarm and not freshly served. The fried shrimps were crunchy and warm, however they were flat and not plumpy. The Sesame Chicken seemed to have more batter than meat. Even the squid looked and tasted cheap and was not warm. The Sushi Bar had a few variety of Suchi but they lacked craftsmanship. So much so that I didn't even dare to try one, and the employees working that station didn't encourage me either when they saw me there. In the Hibachi area, I noticed that the grill was not too cleanand the cook manding this area did not accommodate me when I asked if I could add two eggs to my items before he served them. If management addresses some of the above issues I mentioned, I think this Buffet restaurant will have a better chance to successfully grow its clientele and not lose many. I invite all of you reading my review to go experience for yourself if they have followed my recommendations, and this can only be done by trying you out.

After closing their lunch buffet due to COVID-19, Szechuan Restaurant in Salem, VA has reopened it…read moreas of 10/01/2025. They serve the same delicious selections they originally offered with their crispy General Tso's Chicken being a favorite of most. While being a buffet, the service is still great as always. The atmosphere is a little calmer than other buffets, which is a plus. As for the price, it is roughly $13 a person, which is a little high for lunch, but better than some similar places in the area. All in all, I'm glad Szechuan is offering its buffet again.

A heavy bag greeted me, and ample customization was available online. However, I found the dishes I ordered somewhat bland.

Not sure what was in it but nothing good. Even if I didn't have that experience, it was a good quantity of food but nothing that I would have been in a hurry to return for.

My only complaint is the crab rangoon. I prefer them made in a different way and with a larger portion of sauce. Duck sauce is not nearly as good as sweet and sour sauce. But, I still order them every time. You should definitely check this place out and I recommend the beef and shrimp hibachi and the sweet carrots.

The Dragon Girl Sushi Roll had baked spicy crab and shrimp topped with banana and honey wasabi which was strange but enjoyed by my friend who likes banana more that I. The chicken hibachi was pretty decent - cooked well with great flavor and a large portion too! I have never had sweet carrots such as these but they did not disappoint - I will be looking up how to make these now because veggies that taste like dessert is a win for me. The side order of soba noodles is were plentiful and delicious!
