It's the kind of All You Can Eat Asian and American Buffet that Buffalo can afford. Honestly, I…read morecan't recall a better one. There's another buffet in the area that people generally like, but I've never been there. We visited Amherst Buffet last in September 2023 to check out their new location. I don't really know why, but we never went back. After today's visit, maybe I know why. They moved again! This time they took over the building where the Chinese grocery store used to be--Ni Hoowa. We were very curious and couldn't wait to see inside after the transformation. On Thursday around lunch time, this place was packed. It was shocking to see it, because there is a very large dining room area and it was almost fully occupied. I asked about a booth, and the hostess actually spent some time finding one for us in the perfect spot. I should start my review by saying that all the servers, and working crew were very nice and friendly. The food looked good. For lunch, there were typical dishes, nothing crazy. From two kinds of soup (hot and sour was nothing special), appetizers, lots of chicken, some pork, shrimp, fish, clams, of course rice, noodles (even Shrimp Alfredo). Also I saw pizza, fries, fried chicken looked awesome, wings, mac & cheese, etc. Let's not forget about desserts and fruits. The melons were perfectly ripe and delicious. If you enjoy Chinese Buffets, be sure to stop by and check this place out for yourself. I'm certain that at this price point, you'll have nothing to lose. The visit could turn out to be a really fun experience. I almost forgot, there is also a Hibachi Station on-site where a chef prepares dishes to order. What actually turned us off was 'Salt Overload'. Why do they use so much salt?! It's possible to avoid the most sugary sauces, but salt? The food would be tastier without too much salt, or MSG? (OMG!). The sushi was also a disappointment. There was hardly any of it during our stay, and what I did try wasn't good. One day I would definitely check Amherst Buffet during dinner hours, just to see what's cooking. P.S. Today was the official last day of school for students so that's why this place was full of families and kids. They celebrated :).

This place came as a surprise to me. I seldom eat at buffets or any places where guests focus on…read morequantity over quality. And to be sure, I saw some architectural masterpieces of people piling up their plates to proportions that defy both gravity and mathematics. Yet I found myself here and decided I would make the best of it. I say, without hesitation that despite the large volume of food passing through the multiple buffet islands, much of it was truly excellent. There was subtlety in the spicing, and creativity in some of their offerings. Many of their seafood dishes were truly excellent. The people who work here work hard. They try to make sure everyone is happy which is no easy task since the place is mobbed with large families who tend to be supervised by overwhelmed parents. There is nothing romantic or intimate about this establishment. It has the feel of a warehouse. Yet, I sampled several things that were truly excellent. I need to come back here again and sample a whole lot more.

Hard working people working in this restaurant as we could see as we peaked in the kitchen on our way out the door. Small place with huge menu. Decisions, decisions on just what to order. Hubby chose the shrimp bento box. He enjoyed. I ended up with the Tom Kar soup and california rolls. I loved the soup. And it was the good kind of california rolls...not the fake crab stick...the salad style (see my pic). The decor is quirky and kind of a no frills type place. Nothing fancy or high end by any stretch. Quite a few tables occupied, and lots of takeout orders. Seems the word is out that they have delicious food. I do recommend if you want your sushi fix.

This is normally our go to buffet but not anymore. Very rude service…read more We went during lunch hour and as normal server only cleaned the old plates. Again I'm not asking for more since that's what a buffet is. However, We have also been feeling my extremely rushed to leave the past few times. She will also keep walking by staring at the receipt she gave you while you were in the middle of eating and it feels like they don't want you there. When we checked out we gave 15% tip (which i understand isn't the regular 20% but when you're only clearing my dishes I don't really see the need to tip full 20 -someone who is a server) However it's what she did that really made me upset. As my grandma was getting up from the table she rushed over in front of her and counted the cash tip in front of us, stared at us then heavily sighed and stormed off. I understand if you're upset but displaying the cash in front of us and counting it multiple times isn't going to get you a better tip either. Won't be returning after this. The food isn't good enough to feel like they want you to leave. I will say it's only the one older woman that has ever given me issues. Everyone else seems very friendly. I want to mention after reading all the reviews it's the SAME issues and it must be the same woman. - rushing you out after giving you the bill barely 20 mins in. - will not accept any tip less than 25% and will be mad straight to your face - awful service I'm confused why the restaurant won't address this?

Stormin' Crab offers their blue crabs one of two ways: Either added as a side to any boil (topped with your favorite seasonings), or served as a fried crab basket. The oyster appetizer (sold as six or twelve) can be raw or grilled. I adore them raw, and these are Bluepoints! They were plump, glistening, and had a great sweet and briney flavor. My husband's gumbo was thick with rice and andouille sausage, with baby shrimp. It also had a powerful black pepper kick. Very tasty! The boil arrived on a stainless steel platter in a large plastic bag, ballooned out with steam. We had chosen the butter, medium spicy. I thought the saltiness overpowered the flavor of the seafood, but your mileage may vary. Combo C had so much food we took a third of it home! We really enjoyed our meal here!

Update- reducing to 2 stars as I got sick in the middle of the night. I think the seafood was…read morefresh enough but assume it was the grease. I haven't gotten sick from their butter base in the past. I used to love the seafood boil here but they switched to flavored oil rather than butter. It's not the same taste or texture. It left the boil tasting under seasoned. I don't think we will be back.

It's got a vibrant rustic-can, loud but comfy feel to it. The place looks cool inside and out, you just know this greasy spoon is going to have good food and it doesn't fail to provide it either! You can order anything and leave happy (from the apple pie to the pig, beef and chicken sandwich). They have booth seating, counter seating for one (or two) and offer outdoor seating with a little picnic table, shaded area and they also accept cash/credit. On the menu, there's pig, beef and chicken items, even a fish fry. They're great for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with or without friends/family. Known for their BBQ, in a variety of flavors, it's simply finger-licking delicious! I like coming here for breakfast mostly, love me some good home fries and a juicy steak. Portions are large and filling. I've also ordered take-out and picked up my order, the staff is super friendly and there's such an upbeat vibe to the place.

My server was great. She was super attentive and made sure my cup was never out of water. (I usually drink water when dining out) The place is def little so it gets packed quick. A couple booths and a couple tables. Maybe 10 total. Parking can be very tight in front so go to the back or side. I'll be back to try other things.

Staff was attentive and kept our drinks full. I had a little bit of everything and it was all to my liking. They had crab legs presented in 3 ways, cold, steamed, and in a Cajun style boil. If you love crab then this is the place to enjoy it until your hearts content. Soft drinks and juice are included in price as is all the sushi and sashimi.

However, the quality, variety and taste of the food determines if I will be a repeat customer. Although there was a good variety of foods, the fact that everything tasted bland.

The only item I enjoyed was the round sugar coated donut balls, the sugar was sweet. Service was good but their whole job was to bring beverages and clear plates which our server did very well. Try it once and decide for your self but I recommend the lunch buffet so you spend less money while trying it out.
