LE sigh...I had hoped so much to have a good experience here and have a tasty buffet to go to when short on time and not wanting fast food. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. I started with 3 stars, in my head, but as the night continued on, dish after bland dish, I started to wonder if it merited even 3. The hot and sour soup has this seafood taste, randomly, and otherwise has an unidentifiable...several...mushrooms but not mushrooms?? in it. Beef with peppers was mushy and tasted like nothing. Completely nothing. Not salt, umami, sour, nothing. The cream cheese wontons are...okay, I have never had this issue before, but when I took one bite, all of the cream cheese squirted out the other side. Maybe they folded it wrong? In general, there were many stations that had empty food and many dishes were cold. What finally did it for me was when I went to grab a dish off of the stack, it was dirty. So I picked up another dish. Also dirty with dessert-frosting smeared on it. Another had crusted vegetables on it. GROSS. I will say that the service was great. Someone checked in on me at least twice to see if I needed anything and my water glass was always full. The place was kept clean (minus the dishes) and there is a lot of seating. Wish I would have seen the 2.9 rated review and gone with my gut to go elsewhere. read more

Uptown Buffet - Buffet food! - Buffets Near Me - Miami, Florida

Interior is OK. Price is very reasonable at $15.75 dinner per person, but the food is just only OK. Hardly anything can be called delicious. Oysters are good, hibachi is not too bad, sushi can be better, fresh fruits are so so, tiramisu is OK. Wish it had sautéed green beans, sesame balls, and green tea ice cream. read more

If you're hungry and on a tight budget this just maybe the best place for you! Food is quite tasty

For an all you can buffet this place is not bad at all. I just wish they had my favorite dish of all time which is salt and pepper shrimp. Their sushi variation is good! And the times I've gone there has not been a wait which has been weekdays for lunch! read more

For a buffet, this place is not bad at all. The service is great! Servers are very attentive, refreshments are refilled when needed, and empty plates are removed quickly. Every staff member I have encountered has been extremely friendly, too. The restaurant itself is very dated but gives off a retro 90s vibe and it's pretty clean and maintained. There is a nice variety of food and sushi and the quality is good for the price! I'm not a buffet kind of girl, but I don't mind eating here at all. Definitely the last restaurant of its kind. read more

Excelente servicio y muy buena atención igual que la limpieza y la confección de los alimentos en general todo muy bueno.

Absolutely atrocious. The food is disgusting. If you have allergies, do not go to this place. The food placement is not allergy friendly. They have meats with seafood, people were using the serving spoons with meat and seafood. What a mess. The location is convenient, but the inside looks like a 90s retro cheap vibe. It's not ascetically pleasing. Don't go, don't waste your money, avoid at all cost. read more

Finally found a place that has decent Mingolian BBQ grill. So glad this place exists! read more

We have come here multiple times. The place is always clean and staff always nice. the food is always so good and fresh. I've seen staff always checking the food and making sure everything is full. We genuinely love to come to this place and feel it's always worth the price. read more

Excelente comida,muy buen servicio, bajos precios y variedades de alimentos, me encanta el bufete

Ok so first I want to say that I have been to this place endless amount of times and been coming here a few years but it's always been during the week . It's always been good except for now . I came in a weekend with the family and It was gross . Everything was cold and tasted off. Service was a mess as well. So this is why I'm taking some points . I would recommend here only on weekdays . They have a great selection of food from sushi to hibachi where u can create ur dish and they do It fir you . They have pretty much everything from pizza , Chinese food, ribs , desserts all that good stuff. My daughter had the tea and didn't like It . read more

I ordered a surprise bag from Uptown Buffet through Too Good To Go and was genuinely impressed! For just $7.99, I got a full variety -- sushi, lo mein, two soups, and more. It was fresh, tasty, and honestly way more than I expected for the price. Such a great deal and a fun way to try a little bit of everything. Would definitely grab another bag and might even dine in next time! read more

I can't understand the under appreciated comments here. The servers are quick in removing the plates, there is a variety of food, from sushi, Chinese style to deserts. I paid 14.50 on a Sunday evening. Be generous with the tip here, this might be the last hidden gem in Miami in terms of price and quality. 谢谢 xièxie! read more

The two men cooking hibachi were bath one of them did not stop picking his nose. The food did not look fresh. Definitely did not order that. The buffet areas seemed dirty. A few kid getting food with hand no employees said anything. I ended up leaving to me everything was nasty. read more

Great food and service. Highly recommended Ambiance very nice. People very friendly . Very clean and organized read more

gave me the worst stomach and bowel problems in my life. never coming back here again, the food sucks, and its really bad this place literally sucks. read more

The Hibachi is great here. But the actual buffet food needs to be changed more often. Feels old at times

Great food quality, in a quite family ambiance, nice service and moderate prices. Highly recommend

Food was not good and the service was terrible. It's a buffet and nobody was serving us so we did not tip. I work at a restaurant job and if I'm not serving a table and don't check in I shouldn't expect a good tip or any tip at all. The lady proceeded to sit there and continuously ask for a tip despite being told there would be none. Pretty embarrassing on her end and the audacity was crazy to demand a tip when she wasn't even the one who sat us or gave us our waters. Which were the only two times we had any interaction with the workers. Would not recommend. read more

Uptown Buffet is your typical Japanese buffet. Very cheap too! We came for lunch and it was around $10 per person. They have sushi, hibachi, and desserts as well. Personally, I liked the food but I didn't eat from the hibachi section. Very wide selection of food(s). I like how they have a little bit of everything. From fried rice, to sushi, pizza, chicken, salmon, to even tostones. The only downside to this buffet is the plate size. The plates seemed very small compared to other buffets I've been to. I had to get two plates because I don't like stuffing one single plate. I would recommend coming here if you're in the area and want to eat a lot of food for a very cheap price. read more

Food was horrible to be honest, I actually was shocked when they asked for a tip after trying to give me that wrong ticket to pay smh and the horrible food !!! But over all 2/10 and a 2 was me being nice ! read more

Me and my wife were on our way home from a day of shopping and we were between chipotle or trying something new. And this time I regretfully chose to try out a new place. Asian food is no stranger to me, im a line cook and at our restaurant we make Asian dishes as well, so I was shocked to find that this did not hit the spot by a long shot. The ambience was exactly what I expected, nothing too fancy. But let's talk about the food. It was horrifying to see how little interest there was in cleaning, everything just had this like "someone touched it before you" vibe. I get that's the point of a buffet but I wish I took a photo at how disorganized and in need of wipe down it all was. So this already didn't make me super enthusiastic about eating the food. And I'm no picky eater, but everything about the food just was so off. The only things that tasted good were the things you can tell they didn't even make by hand. The sushi was warm and losing temp, the tongs to pick up the sushi were disgustingly dirty. This is one of the ONLY occasions where I actually didn't feel like finishing any of the food, not even the ice cream was good because you had parents picking up kids and putting them on the counter where all the food was and the kids were coughing on the ice cream and I STILL ate it because I wanted to leave some kind of review. I threw up immediately after leaving this restaurant once I had post hunger clarity, this is definitely one of those places where they don't wash their hands after using the bathroom. I didn't even meet my waitress and I still tipped, I only saw her when it was time to take my money. I hope this was just a bad night for them because it certainly was for me. read more

Uptown Buffet - Couldn't finish anything, ice cream, custom hibachi, spring rolls were the best thing on the menu, the ribs were good too. - Buffets Near Me - Miami, Florida

Small asian buffet with lots of fried foods. I did not get sick here, which is a plus, but the food had much to be desired. Restaurant is large and can probably accommodate larger parties, which is a plus. Overall the place appeared clean. There is also plenty of parking read more

The Food is messy and some what good if you're drunk enough to get a table and eat there. The service let me tell you about the service they honestly don't care about your well being they only care about is the bill and apparently the MANDATORY TIP aside the fact the server doesn't pay you attention and will ask you for a tip and by any chance you don't tip her she will have fit and ignore you and storm off (even though we asked her if she can break a $50 bill and she ignored us ). I HIGHLY SUGGEST "CHINA EXPRESS" LOCATED AT 5748 W FLAGLER STREET 33144. YOU WILL NOT REGRET THE FOOD FROM THERE IF YOU BUY MORE THAN $50 ON A ORDER they toss something extra like sesame mochi, or Chinese donuts !!!!! read more

Staff is friendly but the food is not great. Ambiance is family oriented good for families and friends. I had several of their dishes but they were more than anything bland or tasted old. The place does have potential but they really need to work on their ingredients. read more

Fuck this place, the workers are assholes and the food was so bad I couldn't eat more than half a plate but was charged the full price, went we complain the workers just laughed at us. Don't go here if you want actually good food cause they don't have that here and their workers are bitches read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would!! While I was eating here with my mom I saw a cockroach walking around the table. It left me without an appetite as well as my mom. Above all the staff still made me pay and made jokes about it and how they've never had that happen. Upon reviewing my card statements I was charged 3 separate times for the same meal. If I can recommend one thing is stay far far away from this place or else you might have a cockroach on your table or plate. Horrible establishment horrible service and everything all together. read more

They have a new girl taking phone orders that doesn't know what she's doing. I ordered 2 family dishes and had my daughter pick them up and she'd gotten both orders wrong. Gave me the smaller order. Couldn't feed the whole family that night. Had to bake a pizza. Just have her repeat your phone order and give you the total cost. I'm not going for Strike 3. read more

Very good buffet, Many items, Very good service, and Outstanding Food! This is the best buffet spot

This has never been the best of Chinese buffets. It's good to have buffets back after the COVID period restrictions. But this one was not so good. The usual kind of fried chicken with different sauces, soups (actually, the egg drop was pretty good), meats with vegetables. I do not now who they get the seaweed salad so green. I'm sorry not to recommend it read more

Totally renovated and under new management if I'm not mistaken. Hell, they're even doing Cajun seafood now. Totally random for this Chinese buffet but more power to them for offering a wide variety. Unfortunately their take out pricing is a little expensive and you practically end up paying the same for one carton of food versus eating at the restaurant for an unlimited amount of times. They do charge extra if you add seafood which sucks and the sushi is not all that good. Decent. But I have to say the flavor of their food as a whole as gotten better. read more

I have not been here in years and stop coming due to bad food, service and dirtiness. Today as I pass by and it was full due to fathers day, and decise to give it a try.

It was really crowded, like the tables were very close together. The food was good though!

Terrible terrible terrible place.. I went in and looked everywhere. Everything was old. The sushi was even fresh. The guacamole on it was turning black. My bad was black. I couldn't eat there. I had to get up and tell them I'm not eating here smelling I don't understand how somebody can serve old ass food like omg people are gonna get sick.. read more

The food was terrible! The service was just as bad! Even though it's cheap, the food is worth less. The sushi had been sitting out all day, and was warm. The meat was extremely dry and flavorless. It was easy to tell most of the food had been frozen at one point. The ice cream station smelled like dirty water!! Save yourself the time and money; go anywhere else!! read more

This place is disgusting I manage to sneak into their kitchen and saw a nightmare I beg please please don't eat here, they don't care if they give you meat off the floor, if you don't trust this review just look up on miami dade website the violations they have it so disturbing how they're still open I use to eat here with my family and would leave with an upset stomach so I please beg don't eat here unless you wanna risk the chance of food poisoning, lmao like yes its cheap 12$ all you can eat food but you need to see their kitchen and then they want to put a mandatory tip? Why?because you just brought me a drink you never ask how the food was or how we are doing and then get upset all you want is money. you didn't really work for your tip gtfo here never again man last time ima eat here. They just lucky I couldn't record or take pictures when i had the chance. read more
