Uptown Buffet

Craving food from a Chinese buffet is not the same as craving Chinese food.
I came here for delicious, preserved, sometimes cold, oversalted food smothered in MSG for cheap and it did not disappoint. I was highly satisfied with both the service and selection. However, this is not freshly made, high-​quality food — so don’t show up expecting it to be! Luckily, that isn’t what I was looking for during my outing. To further enhance the authentic small Chinese buffet atmosphere the labels were missing from some items. This made many adventurous bites into delightful and sometimes horrifying surprises! I suggest everyone read the other reviews as well and know what you are getting into before you come. If you grew up on these cheap buffets, this might be a place you really like as a once a year refresher on your childhood. If I lived in Miami, I would absolutely return.
This is everything you would want a Chinese buffet to be.

I should’ve known better. Finding a good Chinese buffet is like finding a 4 leaf clover. It’s a 1 in a million chance. This place is disgusting. Food is old, cold, and doesn’t even look appetizing. I tried several different items and didn’t eat anything completely. Do not waste your money or curiosity. I do not even know how this place is still open. Better off sticking with your go-​to take-​out chinese

Today, it was my first time here. The place is spacious and has a lot of variety of sushi, food, and desserts. I love the aquarium, so many fishes and all plump and with pretty colors. The price is pretty decent and the food very good. The waitress was very friendly and attentive.

For the price, you can’t really complain. You get what you pay for. $ 9.99 per person (Lunch Time) gets you a decent selection of sushi, a mild salad bar, Chicken drenched in sauces that are either too sweet or too salty, stale Fried Rice, and desserts that look like they’ve been «preserved» for longer than necessary. Nothing here looks Fresh.
Personal Favorites from the Buffet include the Sea Angel Roll, the Volcano Roll, The Fried Fish & Shrimp, the Honey Chicken… And that’s about it.
Also, it would be nice if they could replace the missing labels on some items.

The waitress with glass served us badly, putting folks on dirty table, many excuses, and no even any greeting word. She even stood by us to see how much tips we gonna give. And as expected, 9% for dinner is what we would like to offer at most.

Sushi is ok but not fresh. There are not too much vegetable cuisine. Also, the waiter who is wearing glasses and serving for the second line is not friendly. She took away a plate which my friend was still using! (At that time, My friend was sitting there and eating). I have to give her fewer tips.

I didn’t go until very late but there were still many dishes that were still good. I never had ahi tuna steaks before and they were really good.

This place is ok, its clean & has alot of tables. They have a sushi bar but i didnt get near it because we all know buffet sushi isnt a good idea. I feel like the dessert options are so little, ice cream & fruits. Like i said it was ok, ive seen better buffets.

My family comes here for every birthday! The value is incredible and there is something for everyone. I love oysters, shrimp, octopus and seaweed salad. One plate and you are way ahead of the $ 11!

Nice Asian buffet…
Place was packed, economically priced, fairly clean and the food was very fresh and flavorful.
Had about 20 sushi types to choose from but only two were on my favorites list.
I didn’t get to the Hibachi grill because the line was to long but it had a large selection. You actually pick your items and put them on your plate and hand it over to the chef where he does his thing on the grill.
The buffet side had all my favorites. I didn’t try any desserts.
Service was ok but don’t expect much.
Overall it gets the job done for about $ 11 per person. I can’t complain.

This is a great place to eat! Lots of yummy options, the price is right, and the people are so nice.

Amazing food. Been coming here forever! My son loves it too!!! Sushi is always fresh and better than I’ve had anywhere else.

The service was alright. Staff was friendly but not attentive. The place looks really dirty and rundown. I came for lunch so my comment is only for lunch food. The food was gross. Everything looked like they had been there for days. The hibachi was the only decent option. I dont know if I want to come back for dinner.

I’ve seen many Unilocal reviews and I don’t know there are so many Unilocal complaints. This place is great, I always get good service. The Price Is very cheap and everything is always fresh. This place gets packed but I recommend going at night around 6 to avoid the dinner rush and it’s the time when everything gets made fresh for the night

Bad quality. Go there with travel group. And the servant there was not friendly at all. The quality of food was bad. There was a bbq pork rib, the meat seemed too be smelly

HORRIBLE. worst place I’ve ever been to. my dad had horrible bathroom problems right after we left.
Off topic from the food but has anyone else noticed that they need to clean their fish tank???

The food is very good and the price is pretty cheap. Every time I have been there the sushi is fresh. Nice place.

This place is horrible. Cold food and horrible service. Sushi and Hibachi station below average. Not coming back.

Terrible ! Im spending my vacation In Miami and i stopped by this buffet. Very smelly and very rude stuff … The variety is good nut still doesn’t worth money. I wish i could get a burger instead of vomiting here by the smell !!!

Compared to many other Chinese Buffett I was not impressed with this one. We came here for the sushi but when we got there, the rice for the sushi was mushy, it’s like they used sticky rice rather than sushi rice, yuck. The ingredients for the sushi were nasty looking too. Nothing there looked appealing. The Buffett station looked so big from a distance but when you’re up there getting food, you’re like that’s it?
For the desserts, you can scoop your own ice cream. With that being said… It was a mess and sticky. I should have gone to the Outback restaurant next door.
