The buffet was okay, standard stuff. The sushi, however, was great! Good pricing and good service. Give it a try if you are in the area.

Absolutely horrible tasted old and reheated during lunchtime and we were early everything tasted reheated will not be back Terrible food!

The buffet was immaculate. I wasn't sure what to expect because I haven't visited a buffet style restaurant since the pandemic. I tried to taste a variety of items and overall it wasn't bad. Some dishes were too salty but not unbearable. I thought that all was well until I got got home and everything I ate came out! Needless to say I won't return. My interaction with the waitress was limited but she adequately did her job. read more

A rating of zero is what I experienced at recent buffet. Refused to pack up jello to go so my grandson could eat his dessert later. Wanted to charge AGAIN to accommodate our needs. I'll stay away from here. read more

Fun Asian theme walking in the door with dragon statues. Good variety at the buffet. Most of the standard items and a few new things.

For the price, this place met my expectations. I wasn't blown away. But, I did have some tasty sushi rolls. We went mid-afternoon on a Thursday, so it was off hours. They weren't busy, but the entire buffet was well stocked with a variety of Chinese and Japanese food. I tried the crab rangoon, salmon, cheese mussels, fried scallops, and a variety of sushi. I tend to prefer cooked sushi (ie. crab) and just loved the options. There were California rolls, Philadelphia rolls, and specialty rolls. Nothing was labeled, so you had to eyeball it. I had a couple of really delish specialty rolls. I didn't like the fried scallops (overcooked) and the salmon (also overcooked), but did really enjoy the cheese muscles and crab rangoon. There was a hibachi station too, but they were closed for most of our visit. I tried a some of the desserts and liked the coconut macaroons. The mousse was a little waxy, but we did enjoy everything else. They cleared plates quickly and at $15 per person for lunch, it was a great deal. In spite of not loving everything I tried, I would go again. read more

Tin Tin Buffet - Restaurant front - Chinese Near Me - Winston-Salem, North Carolina

Finally found my way back here as part of my search to find solid American-Chinese food in the Winston area. There are a couple of very good restaurants with some traditional dishes that soar above the typical buffet or take out places - New Sichuan and Sampan. The food here is that of the average Chinese buffet - few items that are truly bad, and even fewer that are really good. This buffet remains about variety and quantity , and quality is the victim. Unless you are solely looking for quantity, you are better served at one of the better take out places like Mr Lus, or a trip to Bermuda Run for a sit down at Jade Garden. read more

Best Chinese buffet in the area. Amazingly fresh and variety is outstanding. Service is great as well

If you are by the mall and you need a quick meal that makes everyone happy, stop here! I am a Sushi lover so this place is perfect for me. I get to try several different roles without committing to one role (like most places). The staff is kind and attentive so you can get in and out quickly! read more

Tin Tin Buffet - A sample of their sushi section! - Chinese Near Me - Winston-Salem, North Carolina

But the last few visits they appear not to be paying attention to the food quality like they used to. Food items stale, overcooked, not replaced often enough with fresh products have been my experience as of late. I have gone during both lunch and dinner hours when the food would normally be the freshest. But that has not been the case lately. Hopefully they will turn this around. read more

The food was fresh and delicious. The service was excellent. I will be going back there. The ambiance was very pleasant and comfortable.

I love the food, and price. It's all you can eat sushi too! It's got a little bit of everything for the whole family it's not crazy expensive. read more

We were having a Chinese buffet craving after a busy Friday and had two hungry kids to feed. A quick search on Yelp and we found the buffet option in the area. Tin Tin is nicely located near the busy Hanes Mall area. There was ample parking even on a Friday night and the restaurant is attractive from the outside. We were seated immediately. While the table and chairs were comfortable, I was disappointed in how close the chairs were together, with the backs of adjacent tables touching and leaving no room to slide back or for someone to get by. When it comes to quality of the food, we've got to be honest here: nobody goes to a buffet expecting top notch stuff right? It's the nature of the beast, they're not cooking it all to order, it's going to be made cheaper to make a profit, and it's going to sit on a warmer for a while. If you come here with reasonable buffet expectations, Tin Tin will meet them. For the most part the food was good, seemed fresh, and I saw them regularly topping things off. Some things like Beef & Broccoli or General Tso's were overly saucy and a bit bland. The fried things like egg rolls and crab Rangoon were good for a buffet, still a bit crispy, but with that hint of stale where you can tell it was an hour ago they came out of the fryer. Compared to other buffets, I was impressed with the variety. The option for a hibachi bar where you pick your ingredients and they cook them was surprising. I was equally impressed with a fairly broad sushi selection, and almost all of the pieces I tried were tasty and fresh. There was a fairly large dessert selection though to be honest most of the pieces I sampled were unimpressive or had odd tastes. For the price ($75 for 2 adults and 2 kids on a Friday night) it's not the cheapest dinner but honestly you'll spend about the same at a sit down restaurant these days. The kids loved the variety and experience. I felt the value for the price was good. And it met my relatively low expectations. Don't take my 3 star review to mean they're bad, but rather that I think they're perfectly average. I'd go back. read more

Half the food there was cold and tasteless. The sign says it closes at 9:30 but they passed the bill to me at 8:53 and basically ushered me to the door. I wasn't finished eating but when I was getting the last plate they allowed me to have I was being watched in a weird way. Just go to golden corral or another Chinese buffet if you want buffet food. No need to spend over $20 here. The sushi wasn't even that good. The best sushi was the fried one and they were cold. Weird place. read more

There used to be a place in Pineville, North Carolina called Tin tin when this restaurant first opened I thought that's what we were getting. I soon learned that it just used the seriously lack quality of food. I ate there today and I found that the sushi selection for lunch was lacking. The hibachi meat was almost inedible. It was cooked so badly tough to chew. The food wasn't even warm. The one glimmer of hope for this establishment was its desserts. I have no complaints at all about the selection and choice of desserts, but I do have to ask why you were charged a dollar for ice cream when you're already charging your premium price for your subpar food. That's the only reason why you're getting two stars and not one. read more

The cleanest Asian buffet I've ever visited (and I like those spots). Tin Tin is a great spot for lunch and dinner and is seriously nice... The COVID precautions are definitely in place. While I appreciate the effort, I doubt the plastic gloves you have to wear at the buffet do much. But, I'm not a scientist and it's easy enough to wear some gloves. Everyone was wearing masks and gloves at the buffet and I watched them enforce it. The variety here is solid! It's a big buffet. You'll find something you like. They have a great selection of your traditional Asian buffet items, sushi (good sushi), deserts, some American food, hibachi, you name it. I can't say any of it is "the best I've had," but it's consistently and good and the big variety is a win. I've honestly never left here less than stuffed. You could actually eat really healthy here if you chose. They have great salads and fruits and healthier meat options. Personally, I go in for all the chickens...general tso, honey, wings, teriyaki, on a stick, pepper, and on and on. It's a value win! At $15 for dinner buffet (including sushi!), you'll be hard pressed to find a better value. Just go hungry because you'll want to try it all! read more

Tin Tin Buffet - Big plate of various chickens, noodles, shrimp and mushrooms - Chinese Near Me - Winston-Salem, North Carolina

See all

It's a very clean buffet. Food items on the buffet look pretty good but the flavors are mediocre to poor. Front of the house staff was on top of things and doing a pretty good job. Open until 930 supposedly but by 745 they basically weren't making anything fresh. You were stuck with whatever was already out there. I got the last two pieces of nigiri tuna and it was obvious there would be no more. Based on the trays that were there, I would guess they put out a fresh set of sushi when they open and never replenish it if you're there on a weeknight. The "habachi" grill is set up like a Mongolian barbecue where you can pick your own veggies, meats, and noodles and have them cook it fresh. This was the best thing available. Would be nice if they sliced the meat thinner though so it wouldn't be quite so tough. read more

I thought the food was good and the servers were very nice. The inside of the restaurant is pretty, however it seems there aren't booths or are a limited amount. We were still comfortable in their chairs. The hibachi grill was my favorite part. Additionally, this buffet has sushi. It was about $15/ person for lunch. read more

The staff at tintin buffet was way to attentive standing right next to us and listening to our conversations as well as continuing to ask our children how old they were. The food was also not the best and after everyone had stomach aches. The server also asked us what we wanted to drink before we even got to the table and sat down. The buffet was also really confusing and crowded because there were no signs on were to go and where it started and all of the waiters were yelling across the restaurant. The bill was also split completely wrong and the waiters gave themselves a $20 dollar tip on the bill. The outside and inside of the restaurant was also pretty dirty. Our children also burned themselves several times because the food and tongs were way too hot and small. read more

My experience at Tin Tin was pre-COVID, which at this point feels a little bit like another lifetime, but I did notice they have reopened in the last few weeks. I have not been in since then, so I don't know what the format is, but I can speak to the food. If that hasn't changed a whole lot since the before-fore times, then its probably just alright. It's really hard to find a good Chinese buffet. Just the nature of the beast. The variety of stuff is what is appealing of course for a flat rate, but usually what you get is not the best version of the dish. Things inevitably aren't as fresh as you'd want, and it affects the flavor. Other things are being done simply as cheaply as possible. In my experience, the best buffets are smaller ones not these mega ones, and my favorite in this area is indeed a small, lunch only, one. If you're alright living in the world presented above, which is kind of what you ought to expect, Tin Tin is totally fine. Usually if a big buffet meets this expectation, I would give it a four. In Tin-Tin's case, I did not enjoy the food as much even placed against the lowered bar, so I have to place it just a step down. It wasn't bad, but there also wasn't anything I ate that made me think "Hey, this is a bright spot." which I can usually find even at other big buffets. read more

The service was good. The food flavorful but a bit greasy for me. They could label the dishes better. There is a huge selection. This was my first time, but my husband goes more and knows how to make better selections. Overall it was a good lunch. read more

Food sucked. Place needs to make things fresh and not serve what was put out the day before. Food needs to be hotter and more taste. Very disappointed in the food. I would have gave it zero stars but had to give it one. read more

Follow me on IG: @zackaryeats for recommendations on more places to eat! Tin Tin Asian Buffet is the ONLY Chinese buffet currently available in Winston-Salem and offers Chinese food, hibachi, and sushi at a fantastic price! The Chinese food tastes similar to your standard Chinese food takeout, and the sushi quality is surprisingly decent, which makes the buffet price worth it since it's all-you-can-eat. The Chinese food is solid. The sushi consists nigiri (salmon, tuna) and specialty rolls. The hibachi bar is self-serve, so you gather the raw ingredients on a plate and hand it to the chef. Ice cream is also available here, but they come prepackaged in little styrofoam cups. Make sure you come with an empty stomach to maximize the amount of food you can eat! WORTH IT? MAYBE, if you're looking for a buffet to satisfy your Chinese food, hibachi, and sushi cravings, then look no further! (Overall 6/10) The Friday and weekend adult buffet is fairly expensive and will set you back $18, which is understandable given the COVID situation on restaurants. The prices have been marked up from last year when I could dine at Tin Tin for only $13 for dinner. read more

Went on a Tuesday about 530pm Seated immediately. Food was fresh, and the sushi guy is on point. For hot food, I only tried a couple of the meat dishes. The hibachi grill was popular with the patrons. You choose what you want and they cook it. Everything looked fresh as well. The desserts didn't look great - some were stale looking, even the mini cupcakes read more

They have fell off. Hibachi grill wasn't good. No seasoning what's so ever. Beef & broccoli, the beef was tough. Sushi tastes old.

Food all tastes like it's cooked in very old oil. Flies on food. After eating just a few bites of their food I felt ill. Myself, son and boyfriend all ate different items and are all not feeling well after. 0/10 do not recommend. read more

2.5 stars. Unfortunately, I have to leave a negative-ish review. Nothing wrong with the wait staff or the ambience. Just feel that the quality of food has been sub-par the last few times that I have been here. Especially the sushi bar offerings. Granted it was during their lunch time hours, but still... Most of the rolls that were presented were made with imitation crab inside. No nigiri. I saw one small roll that offered a slender slice of salmon, but it had cream cheese inside; which I'm not really a fan. Lots of rolls with cream cheese! No soy sauce on the tables, so you need to know it is offered on the sauce bar. The hot plates were fair for buffet. I guess if I want AYCE sushi, I will have to drive to High Point or Greensboro. read more

Go to spot for Asian buffet in Winston! Prices and service are always quick, and there's always fresh food on the buffet. Some things aren't the best but that's normal for buffets obviously. Great dessert selection and there's plenty of tables! read more

Just wonderful. Excellent food choices. Authentic sushi and dishes. Will return. Very reasonable with all the great choices and ingredients

I couldn't give Tin Tin a 5 star because I love this place but it's not the friendliest place. The food is good, I never had a bad meal there. Sometimes we would like to have a refill of water but we'll be ignored or sometimes just rudeness. I keep going back though because for buffet food it's pretty good. read more

Huge buffet. Lots of choices, flavors seemed a bit bland. Tables were a bit sticky. Good for a pig out.

Pros: -Variety of "sushi," hibachi, Chinese, American, bbq, desserts, fruit -Tons of parking -Gloves and hand sanitizer provided -Mandate masks when up getting food (but poorly enforced) -The only AYCE Asian buffet in the area to my knowledge -Generally pretty clean! Cons: -Not the best quality but good for the area and especially for price We went for dinner on a weekday and was seated promptly for a party of 5. Service was quick and great for drinks and to clear our table of plates. It was pretty crowded! Overall they have a great variety but the sushi is not "authentic" sushi with great quality fish, but will hit the spot if you are truly craving. They also have some seafood and BBQ dishes, Chinese dim sum dishes, and American and BBQ dishes. There is a hibachi grill towards the back. For desserts, they have cupcakes, cakes, donuts, and single serving ice cream in the back freezer. Overall, they hit the checkmarks minimum needed to be a buffet. Not sure if I would come back. read more
