The place has closed down temporarily because they were remodeling the inside.
And it was worth it.
It bigger, more comfortable, convenient, relaxing, lots of room to move around, great food selection... oh, and drum rolls!!!! They have added hibachi to their menu.... đ đ đ
So much variety đ
The place looks amazing...
It's totally worth coming by and enjoying a well-deserved buffet meal.

So today I revisited City Buffet and boy do I have a review for you!
Food:
- Green Beans
Crisp, seasoned well, and cooked perfectly!
- Seafood and Crab mix
Seasoned well and cooked perfectly!
- General Tsao Chicken
As we all know, this particular dish changes from location to location, but I have to say I was impressed, the chicken was cooked fully, it was a light breading with a gentle tangy sauce that was great on the stomach and tasted absolutely wonderful. Kudos to the cooks for this dish, I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've been underwhelmed eating this, it's great here!
- Crab Rangoon
Crisp and Tangy, a real treat!
- Crab
Seasoned well and cooked perfectly!
- Bourbon Chicken
Tender, cooked perfectly, seasoned perfectly!
- Hot and Sour Soup
Not too hot, not too sour, just right! and full of the things we all enjoy!
- Baked fish
The baked fish filets were seasoned well however upon biting into a filet, the meat itself was slighly dried out, I know it's nit picking, but it wouldn't be fair if I didn't at least mention these things. I did however find the seasoning pleasant, and I attribute the drying out of the fish to be an exact result of the heat lamps, I almost wonder if basting the filets with some butter periodically while they are on the buffet line might not be a good idea to retain the moistness of the filet.
- Mushrooms
Again, this is nit picking, but I feel like the mushroom sauce could have been stronger with more flavor, I mean obviously we don't want to take away from the earthy flavor of the mushroom too much as that would defeat the purpose of serving mushrooms to begin with, but it could use a little help or more seasoning. The mushrooms however were cooked perfect and were a treat to eat!
Service:
First off, my waitress was an absolute pleasure, she smiled, was attentive to my needs, and very very perceptive. She was a real gem to have coming to my table and works smarter not harder, I love that aspect, she knew I was going to go through water pretty quickly, and brought two glasses saving her time and sparing me the guilt of having her run back and forth to my table with water, and I really appreciated it. It was also extremely pleasing to have her look me in the eye and hold even a small dialogue with me, we're all people, and there's nothing wrong with some light chatter. :)
Atmosphere:
I have to say, I love that they stripped out the televisions that used to be mounted along the walls, the last owners had these things on and usually on a news station, so all you ever saw was negative things when you watched it, it was somewhat depressing. Those televisions being gone couldn't be a better thing to do, instead people either have to use their phones or engage in real conversation, I think it's wonderful they are gone and am happier for it! The new paint in the dining area was also a nice touch, there's a fantastic mural on one of the walls, and I like the colors selected, it feels fresh and new. Cleanliness in the buffet was amazing, everything was clean from the tables, floors and buffet area, it's a well maintained place!
it's hand's down one of, if not THE best Chinese buffet in the area at this point. Lunch prices were reasonable, the service was amazing, and food was top notch, I'd recommend anyone looking for an affordable meal with some good buffet staples, to take a ride down there and check it out for yourselves!

Unfortunately this wasnât like my last visit which I was really content with for a $15 dinner buffet but the quality of the food was way below standards this time especially all the seafood that was sitting out, I was so disappointed because they either ran out of everything or there were barely any options so I only ate a little bit. The sushi also use to taste pretty good but last night it was oddly warm and the salmon tasted expired. Overall I was pretty sad I spent $40 to invite my friends out to a buffet only for us to leave hungry not to mention there were barely any labels in the right place so I couldnât find out which food I could/couldnât eat because of my dietary restrictions with pork :( The most upsetting part about this experience was that we barely ate anything and I paid so much money!! If I had a bad experience and the rest were fine it would have made sense but it doesnât make sense for all of us to be disgruntled especially when my boyfriend eats just about everything. My feedback to this business is to properly label the food and mention what meat/filling is inside. Otherwise the server was very nice and another sweet lady let me know which egg rolls had pork and which didnât.

The staff are professional and very tentative. The restaurant is very clean! The food is always hot and fresh, the staff make their rounds every 2 - 5 minutes to make sure everything is full as well. The seafood here is fresh as well, I was very impressed. Overall, it was a great experience and will definitely return. Good job, City Buffet!
