AVOID THIS PLACE!!!!!! Atmosphere felt odd. Ladies that work there kept asking if you want anything to drink after you already told them NO! now to come to think of it they kept asking that because they charged $10 for a drink. Also, I got orange chicken I bit into it and it was completely raw. The food was not fresh. Very stale overall felt like food poisoning. No like actually don't eat here waste of money. read more

Honestly, been here about three times and the food has been consistency. For the price, the quality and flavor is excellent! I don't know all the negative comments context, but they have been consistently excellent. The fried squid, shrimp, cheesy clams, to majority of there dishes there are great! read more

Tin Tin Buffett - Buffets Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Omg sooooo goood food yummy service rlly good go here if you want Japanese food 9000stars

We visited on a Saturday afternoon. There was an amazing variety of seafood, chicken, beef, and even sushi. It was fresh, hot, and replenished often. The servers were quick to pick up the empty plates, even though it was busy. The price was very reasonable for all you can eat. The food was delicious and we highly recommend this place. read more

I would give this place 0 stars if I could. My family and I were denied entry to the restaurant because myself and my oldest each have a service dog. No, not an emotional support animal, but task trained service dogs for our disabilities. Lisa, the woman at the front podium, said since they're a restaurant, no dogs are allowed. I tried to hand her a card detailing the Americans with Disabilities Act and how denying us service is a violation of state and federal law, but she, and the other woman there, refused to take it. If this is not corrected, I will be filing a complaint with both the state Attorney General's Office and the Department of Justice. read more

Ok I had to write a review after reading some of the bad ones here. This place is just fine. Its clean and the bathrooms are Fine! Yikes. The staff was constantly cleaning the restaurant while I was here and the food was good quality buffet food as you would expect. Good variety. Lots of parking and easy in and out especially helpful as I had a trailer on this visit. read more

Usually love coming here, service is always amazing, but unfortunately I had went this time and while trying the pop stickers(dumplings) I had to spit out because the cabbage, in it was spoiled and no longer good, trying to give the benefit of the doubt I got three more to see if it was just the one unfortunately the others also were not good either, I confronted one of the staff about it but unfortunately I was dismissed, I left with a bad stomach ache and having to go to the bathroom multiple times, NO I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!!!! read more

Ok if you wanna try new stuff. I enjoyed their seafood options. Try it. Service is just ok, nothing too amazing. The ambiance is nothing out of this world. Mostly Hispanic families. read more

The tin tin has been here forever and probably one of the remaining buffets in the area after COVID. The food has improved but not much. We went for a birthday party yesterday. The kids enjoyed the pizza and fries and sushi. The pizza is just tostinos little square pizza cut up. I had the spicy chicken with noodles. The noodles weren't warm. The chicken was warmish. The service was fast and friendly. The price has definately increased. read more

Always satisfies me when I can't decide on what to eat. Very nice service! The servers are always very kind and welcoming! Very cheap also!

This place is excellent for $16 per person, all day. No up charge for dinner. Food is plentiful but definitely with Americans in mind. That being said, I've never had issues with service or the food quality. It's not a five star buffet but considering there are not many like this anymore, I'm thankful. Don't let the low rating fool you. I'd be more suspicious if its a perfect 5 star rating. read more

Food was so bland. If not for the sauces there was simply no flavor to the food. The selection was standard, rice, noodles and such. Seafood smelled fishy and like it had been out for too long. I did not try it. The only good thing I found were the chicken wings. They had tasty red sauce with a touch of vinegar, like a buffalo wing but very mild. Other then that not really a place I will return too. If given choices, bypass this buffet. read more

ACTUALLY DO NOT EAT HERE. My stomach is in SHAMBLES. There was an ant in my food, and loads of hair. Someone needs to send a health inspector cause there's actually no way. I just left the restaurant and I feel like I'm dying. The ice cream was TERRIBLE. DONT EAT HERE. read more

Tin Tin Buffett - a plate of food on a table - Buffets Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Delicious. Me and my mom went there yesterday and the food was amazing. The customer service was very nice and friendly and also the dining area was very full. I would recommend a family to go there and eat. read more

Horrible food , gave it another shot and we were very disappointed with it again. We got food poisoned on top of it. Never again 37$ for gross food barley edible read more

Food is okay, place is okay, drinks are okay, overall for 15$ with no drink included it is a good deal for the price! I would love it if they could charge at least 20 dollars but put more items in there buffet as well as fresher and with a little more care to them at the moment of preparation! read more

I've been here a few times and usually enjoy my meals from here. I think it's a plus how they have gloves at the serving stations. I wish there was more options to choose from and the food needs to be more fresh! Literally everything here you can tell is old and dry by just looking at it as if it's just been sitting for awhile. There usually isn't a lot of people here either which I enjoy but that could also mean something. read more

very gross food, terrible service. they stare at you and are snarky when waiting for tip. the food has been cold and had an off taste every time ive gone. i hoped it would get better bc i'm new to oregon and trying to find my new spot. but this is not it lmao read more

I would give it a negative 100. The food here is NOT EDIBLE. Avoid this place. You will be paying 27$+ for food that isn't warm, has sat out all day. Want to ask for fresh food? Don't hesitate they'll give you a dirty look, expecting customers to finish the left overs. Unlabeled dry, flavorless food that I had no idea what the fuck it was, dirty place overall. And the pizza OMG the pizza I'm sure it's from one of those frozen packages it was soggy and literally dripping with moisture. The only average item was the ice cream. Chef Ramsey will lose all his hair coming to this place he'll close the place in a heartbeat. Save your money, other wise you'll be paying 27$ for FOOD POISONING. :) read more

Very good selection and very good tasty Chinese!!! I was craving egg flower soup. Stuffed mushrooms are a must! We went at 130pm, and it was calm. Servers are on top and I loved their meats offered and their fried rice is so damn good! read more

Tin Tin Buffett - Very good selection of meats!!! Food is very goood! Stuffed mushrooms are very good! - Buffets Near Me - Portland, Oregon

We have been here several times with the family. It is one of those Asian Buffett places. There is a moderate selection of dishes. The food selection isn't that great, for the price that you are paying. I feel like for the price there should be more options. Also the price of the drinks is not included, so an adult meal with a drink comes out to around $13/ $14. There are some good stir fry dishes and the fried shrimp is good. We come here once in a blue moon because it is convenient. Otherwise, there are a lot better options for the price. read more

DO NOT GO HERE! I REPEAT DO NOT EAT HERE!!! My daughter and I went here for lunch one day and I got sick immediatel. Vomiting and diarrhea for me and diarrhea for my daughter. I ended up in the emergency room because I was sick for three days not being able to keep anything down. I had FOOD POISONING!!! Report this to the Health Department they need to be shut down!!! read more

This place was ok. It wasn't to bad and it wasn't to good. It's ok. Circle around a couple of times and you will get food. The soup was good. Hot n sour soup. read more

i got some fried rice and there was a cockroach in it, i do not recommend. The customer service is bad and the food doesnt taste right

What can I say? R-U-N !!! Find another place to eat at. We were in the area and decided to stop by for an early dinner. Wrong decision!! So we walked in and asked about the price for kids to eat & to go food boxes. We couldn't decided whether we should have my 5 yr old do buffet style or grab her some food by the lbs. We were told each kid is priced differently according to age but assuming 5 yr= $5, 6= $6... that's how I understood her explanation. She got us a table and started asking what we wanted to drink. I ended up asking for sweet tea and got perhaps raspberry tea or whatever the hell it was. I asked for unsweetened tea instead (got bad attitude from waitress) and basically got a glass of water with ice. The place needs a deep cleaning and update on everything. From the dishes to the carpet. The food was okay for a Chinese buffet. Wish they had more sushi variety and more kids friendly items. *Biggest moment was when one of the cooks put back a breaded shrimp that was laying on where you set your plate back into the pan. I told her about it assuming she would clean it up but she just put it back into the pan. After that, I lost my appetite. At the end when it was time to pay, it was very confusing. All kids got different prices which didn't make sense at all. Adults were $12.99 each and kids range from $5.50 - $10.00. I don't recommend this place. Spend your money elsewhere! read more

Their deserts were very tasty; However, their food was not. At multiple times during our visit, I questioned whether I was truly eating chicken. Most of the food was bland and rubbery. After sampling their interesting food, I stuck with a salad. If you like to pay $25 for iceberg lettuce, cucumbers, cauliflower, and broccoli, this is the restaurant for you. read more

I took my family here Saturday night on Dec. 17th. And wtf? Is there yellow chunky peanut butter on their door handles? Oh my God, Jesus chrjst, it looks like shit. Since my whole family is already here, we go in and eat anyways. I'm not sure wtf it was but I took a picture and put it as my yelp profile picture. While eating, I over here the Chinese workers there being disgusted after they had to clean their door handles. I think I heard them say that it was human shit. Dear lord. I will never be returning here ever again. read more

Tin Tin Buffett - Is this yellow diarrhea on their door handles??? - Buffets Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Food seemed either canned or frozen. Don't touch the sea food. If you do feel the need to go I'd suggest stick to the soup salad and dessert. read more

Puke puke puke. If you think that buffet Chinese is good no matter where it is, then this review won't affect you much anyway. I'm just surprised that there are still people who trust seafood (i.e. crab legs) at a buffet. Freakin' gross. read more

I went to tin tin buffet today for the first time ever and honestly it was DISGUSTING. worst place I've ever been too in my lifee! The fruit they we're serving said enough . There were little bugs on the walls which is gross The food there in general sucked the vegetable Lo'main tasted so artificial . I am NEVER coming here again honestly it's just gross I have no idea how it hasn't been shut down for sanity reasons and the quality of the food. Don't do it!!! I wouldn't even give it one star if I could. The only good thing from Tin Tin was My soda! read more

I guess I'm not alone here, as I see two other reviewers that vomited following eating here. It's been a while since I was there, and I'd like to think that things have changed. I was in Gresham on work and was really hungry, and I saw the ubiquitous Chinese buffet. Can't go wrong, right? Wrong. Avoid this place. read more

No need to worry about teary-eyed, maudlin praises (I almost said "eulogies"... ooops!) about Tin Tin. It is what it friggin' is, no doubt about it. And back at the tail end of my college boy years, this was as decent a lunch buffet as you could possibly hope to find around town for $5. Sure, we had our doubts and suspicions about quality control for this place, but we never had a bad meal from here, as we crammed our gullets even as we crammed for midterms and finals. All I can say is, thank goodness I have never been sensitive to MSG.... not all my classmates who came and ate and studied with me here, were quite so lucky. I always particularly liked the green beans, the egg drop soup, the seafood and sauteed mushrooms, and just about all their seafood, except when the salmon had fossilized into wood bark, and the sushi turned to rubber. There was one particular peanut-sauce-glazed chicken breast cutlet dish we were absolutely bananas about, but the last couple times I went back, spread out over several years, mind you, they had phased out that dish. Of course, that would be the one thing they did away with.... any time I asked any staff about it, they suddenly could not recall a single word of English. Hmmm very convenient.... Sure, Tin Tin is on one of the lower rungs of "fine dining" around here. Still a far cry from the lowest-of-lowly Super Buffet, or Lung Fungs still eking out their survivals on unwitting victims. The irony of it all is--- I bet you the quality and taste of Tin Tin loses nothing by comparison, and is actually far better, than some places you'll find back in the Motherland, in mainland China proper.... read more

Just left! Had no food. Was there since 7pm and they didn't put any new food out. The lady in the back kept complaining to the woman checking people out. We complained about there being no dessert and other people complained as well. One family didn't even go in because we told them that there was no food. read more

Servers were friendly & the restaurant was spotless. That is the only nice thing I can say about Tin Tin. The food was bland & greasy. It had all been sitting in the warmers way too long. The Salmon was rubbery. The teriyaki chicken was much more like jerky than anything else. They obviously don't do enough business to keep rotating fresh food in. Although the food probably wouldn't have much more flavor even if they did. .Don't waste your money read more

The Chinese food was tasty. But the 1.25 totinos pizza that found it's way to your buffet had me a little taken back. Can we at least get a digiorno? And I'm a tipper and a good one at that. But what do I tip for if you're not going to come around and clear plates or refill sodas? Sigh.. read more

the food is so horrible, the customer service is so so terrible, I do not recommend. disrespectful customer service.

This is your typical Chinese buffet. I was taken there for a work lunch. I was a little taken back by what looked like the a Totinos pizza on the buffet. I have a few different chicken dishes and some pot stickers. The pot stickers were good along with the dipping sauce was good as well. If your into buffets then this might be a good spot for you. I'm not really into buffets but it's ok. read more

We were in the area and decided to stop for lunch. I checked the reviews out first but the place around the corner didn't have a buffet so we came here. First of all, the place is clean and very roomy. Looks like they could seat about 150 people. The hostess was very friendly and great to connect with. The price for the buffet was very reasonable. My only note is that the line server seemed more distracted/interested with her smart phone than doing her job of maintaining the line. It was slow but thats no excuse to allow about 4-5 items to get down to the last piece. I mostly eat the vegetables . So, the management needs to fix this area but other than that I would recommend it. I will be in the area again...if same issue is there I will drop 1 star. If they fix it I will bump it up a star read more

DO NOT EAT HERE!!! Some of the WORST FOOD my family has ever eaten. I not only vomited in the parking lot but after driving about 5 minutes, we pulled off the road where I vomited again. The photos on their website are misleading and falsely advertised. read more

Food here is good, tasteful, the only thing that is not that good is the spaghetti it has no flavor, overall the place is good and calm, would recommend. read more
