Oriental Super Buffet

Food is actually tasty! Nice ambiance and bathroom is very clean — a must. The service was good. The food looks appealing and appetizing.

You know that feeling when you bite into something and you’re going to be sick in a few hours? That’s my review.

Cold old food & the rudest wait staff of any oriental buffet I have ever been to. The first plate everything except the rice from the steamer was ice cold. I mean bacteria heaven folks! I spoke up and our waitress spoke very broken English at best, the response; «fresh food out soon». What came out one could hardly consider fresh. It was lukewarm and extremely dried out. The icing on the cake came as I was trying to eat my desert when our waitress had the gall to flat out ask to be paid for the bill! Love being treated like a potential dine and ditch @sshole. Stay far away from this place it’s disgusting; your stomach will thank you.

Hello and goodbye: I was acknowledged with a greeting but not with a farewell — once they get your money they forget about you. Minus one star.
Does restaurant meets its own expectations: 5
Bottom line: No major screw ups, but nothing amazing, either.
I had:
I’ve tried almost everything. Broccoli beef was very good — juicy and soft; mushroom was delicious. Crab meat is actually crab meat imitation. Boiled shrimp was awful. Mongolian beef was good. Very limited sushi option. Too much dough on everything. All in all, this place worth the money, but don’t expect GREAT food.
DISCLAIMER: I have always tried to measure a restaurant by what it is attempting to be. I give McDonald’s five stars because I know what to expect and they almost always deliver. I also ground my opinion on the «experience».

Really wanted a buffet so I checked reviews in this area and this one had the most so I went. Well I guess if your into Chinese buffets maybe this will work for you my bf said it was good but I’m a picky eater and they didn’t have anything I liked like other Chinese buffets. And I felt like all the trays were empty and they didn’t fill them up. I would never to back. It was clean and the people were like your usual Chinese buffet they don’t say much pick your plate up and go I’m fine with that. Selection sucked though. Stuff looked dry :(I was sad

Comidas para quem gosta ou não de comida chinesa … Tem de tudo! Boas saladas, massas p/​serem preparadas na hora, peixes e sobremesas! Por 9 dólares vc pode comer à vontade! Recomendo!

My husband and I love this place. For almost 12 years we drive from Brandon just for the peanut chicken. We have tried others but no one does peanut chicken better! Not to mention we have never had a bad experience & that is rare, a plus in itself. The renovations are awesome. .hibachi & sushi how can you go wrong. There’s something for everyone.

Although we have been here a few times before, the quality of food, especially the suishi, has really taken a turn for the worse. There is almost no variety or imagination in the suishi selection and the few pieces I did eat were definitely not at the temperature you want them to be.
The hot item selection is kind of all over the place, with mostly Americanized selections. Everything is loaded with really heavy sauce and seemed overcooked. They are really lacking in the vibrant, fresh ingredient area on basically everything.
Some bright spots were the soups, the pork dumpling dim sum, and lo mein which were pretty good. They also have a hibachi cook making dishes to order, but there is an extremely limited amount of ingredients for him to work with.

This place was great! Beautiful atmosphere and fresh food at a great price! Super friendly waitresses too!

I must say I was pleasantly surprised. I’d read the reviews on this, and had no inclination to ever visit this buffet. However my boyfriend picked dinner and this is what he wanted. I was skeptical driving there, but the food was actually tasty. They had a very large selection and everything I had tasted fresh and hot and I noticed they were always quick to refill the empty trays. The only thing I was skeptical of was their seafood stations. They didn’t look appealing so I passed. Other than that, I had no complaints.

It’s getting late 645pm. (Late for me and my son) and I have many errands and don’t have time for lengthy dinner. Decided to give this place a second chance since the first experience the food was pretty bad representation of commercialized Chinese. The place is very nicely decorated and clean, better than most buffets. Unfortunately the food looks and taste like it has been out for a while, and even the most standard of dishes are very poorly made most bland. Bourbon chicken, chicken and broccoli, clams, won ton soup, hot and sour is salty? The selection is far less than it appears. The people are nice and the place looks great but food is even worse than before. Very sad… I wish the best to this place.

This was my 3^rd time here. I usually go for lunch when I visit moms but this time I treated 4 people including myself for dinner. This place can’t get more than 3 stars.
Overall, the food is good depending on what you like to eat. The main problem is it’s not hot. My second plate was a bit hotter but If we’re gonna be paying extra money for dinner, be courteous enough to give us hot rather than warm food.
Stay away from the sushi bar! They make terrible sushi. They also need to control the handling of their sushi. People are using tongs for the cooked sushi to pick up raw sushi. Totally unsanitary. I was happier eating publix sushi. Atleast theirs taste better than this place.
I didn’t try desert but my boyfriend said he didn’t care for his. My mom said her ribs were underdone. But she loved her soup. Noodles were nasty. Crabs legs isn’t included for dinner, you have to pay an extra 3.99 a pound. Pathetic
Overall, I rate the food a ³⁄₅
Service gets 2 stars because the waitresses suck and really acted like they didn’t wanna be there. Took them forever to get my plate. I left no tip…
I will come back of course, but only for lunch. I spent way too much to not have an A+ dinner.

Generally good food as a buffet place. The choice could be more and the servers are just too busy to talk.

Yeah, can’t recommend this place. The food was OK until I had a baby cockroach in my wonton soup. That ruined everything and made me really contemplate everything I had just consumed.
The staff and manager didn’t seem to bothered by this. They didn’t even remove the soup pot after observing the roach in my cup.
Won’t be back.

I have been coming here for years, love the sushi and the incredible selection of food and deserts. I Always leave here extremely satisfied.

So I’m writing this review when I should already be sound asleep. Let’s look at this is a positive way– instead of sleeping, I’m choosing to contribute to Unilocal.No? Oh well. Here’s my review anyway!
After having visited Chopsticks the weekend prior, we questioned each other (Justin and I) why we hadn’t visited this much closer buffet as of yet. So we did just that.
I think the two must be owned by the same people. This is a slightly smaller, darker, older version of Chopsticks. The price is the same. The variety is just as good, just doesn’t appear to have as many tray islands out. It has the same furniture as Chopsticks– we thought that was kind of cute.
We’d probably end up going to this buffet more often due to the closer proximity. It is clean, quality is good for a buffet, and the price can’t be beat.

We came for a Sunday night buffet. For 12.99 I had just a few basic expectations for food quality, and those expectations were not met.
Pros
— Attractive restaurant with multiple water features
— Friendly service
— Hibachi grill
Cons
— Poorly rotated food
— Meatballs that were stiff and hard to chew
— Sushi that was actually DRY on top
— Spinach that clumped together in a hard wad
We will not be coming back here.

Soooo its been awhile since I went to this establishment. I remember why now.
When we first started dining here the staff was upbeat, the food fresh, and the atmosphere superb. For the third time in a row we went on what should have been a busy night in hopes that the food would be fresh. Not the case. The lamps are either not at the right temperature or the food just isnt refreshed often. Even the Habachi Bar was uninviting.
The staff… ehhh. Well I try to be sensitive to language barriers but lets be honest, its a buffet. You take a drink order and refill it when you hear the slurping sound. They all stood in a corner and watched us… with their judging eyes. Yep, im American. Im wastefull and I eat too much.
Alas, I will keep negative comments to a minimum because I am a positive person but as we were leaving did I really see them hang a banner that read, Voted #1 in the Tampa Bay Area??? Go to Chopsticks. They may not have coconut shrimp but the food is hott and the drinks are full!

My fiancé and I love this place and we drive from Feather Sound area just to eat here. I agree w other reviewers that the staff isn’t the friendliest or most attentive, but honestly, who cares?! Walking into that place and being overcome by a fully stocked buffet, sushi bar and hibachi grill makes the fact that their customer service sucks, not matter. I will gladly get out of my seat to track down any server to get a refill. (They learn after a while that if another server has to take care of your requests, it affects their tip).
Their sushi is good, the kitchen staff that restocks the buffet are clean and respectful of traffic coming through the area, hibachi staff is always at their station and ready to serve, and their selection is great! The dinner price is a bit high, but, they compensate by having a koi pond upon entering the restaurant.
I love this place and will continue to be a returning customer.

Not the friendliest staff in the world. Also, if your plate is mostly empty and you’re not actively using any utensils on the plate, they will take your plate without asking right from under your nose.
The buffet is one of the best I’ve ever been to. The sushi was good quality and there was a lot more to choose from than most buffets have.
There was also a hibachi bar and a self scoop ice cream station with 8 flavors.
The rest of the buffet had a great selection of fruit, typical Chinese buffet items, pizza, chicken, fries, fried shrimp, etc. Just a great selection!

Everytime I drive down the road and pass by this place, I wave ‘adiós’ and keep driving. I will never be stopping in here again! I went one time as part of my family’s tradition to go out for Chinese food on New Year’s Eve.
This place is B-​A-​D. Typical Chinese food buffet, fried chicken bits disguised in different «asian» sauce flavors, greasy, low quality beef, sad looking steamed «veggies». Questionable sushi that i would not eat even if someone paid me too. Mediocre service. The real thing that drove me away forever was the lovely critter I saw crawling on the wall the one time I came here. No, I am not making it up, the cleanliness level is that bad.
I know they have renovated in the recent past, but it’s still not enough to get me in this place. I guess some people might like it because it’s cheap and you can eat alot for the money, but i’d honestly rather go about anywhere else for Chinese besides here. Heck, I’ll just stick with my Vietnamese food!

Really good food, very clean, I recommend, my bueno y mucha variedad de comida y buena atencion.
