The City Buffet

A new buffet in town??? We had to check it out ASAP. We used to frequent the previous buffet that was in this location before they tragically closed. The minute we walked into this restaurant we were in awe. It's beautifully redecorated with modern features and amenities. It looks like a shiny diamond in there. After we were seated and our drinks order was taken, we checked out the restroom, which has also been entirely redone and looks lovely and modern. Once we hit the actual buffet we were just aghast with all of the choices available. Shrimp, crab, shellfish, sushi, a habachi grill too. Everything was well seasoned and so delicious. There are many staff members on hand as well to keep the cups full and remove empty plates. They charge $19.99 per person, so make sure you go in hungry and eat more than just the salad!! This place is classy and upscale for being a buffet and we will definitely be returning.

The City Buffet is a solid addition to the westside dining scene.This space is pretty large and looks nothing like the former Mark Pi's Feast of the Dragon or Hometown Buffet before that. I mean, this place is nice, as in, someone dropped a ton of Benjamin's on totally revamping the space.The food here is excellent in terms of quality and variety. There's all the usual Asian buffet foods as well as a hibachi grill, pho soup station and an impressive selection of sushi and sashimi. Service was very attentive with refills and clearing plates. Price for lunch was $13.99 and Pepsi was $2.99, so prices are quite reasonable for what you get.The westside is now the epicenter of Asian buffets with The City Buffet, Supreme Hibachi and Asian Buffet.A solid 4 stars for this great new addition to the westside of town.AndHere's WhyIt'sNot5 Stars...The Hot and Sour Soup was not good at all.The lo mein was mushy, but had good flavor.They cluster-seat guests together instead of giving space in-between.There's no signage as to what's what on the sushi and sashimi bar.All that being said... I'm up for going back again, soon!

Been keeping an eye on this place. It finally opened a couple of weeks ago I think. Met Mike G here today to try it out. Thanks Mike, for a nice lunch and for a little background on the place. It had been a Hometown Buffet and I think I had been here then, years, probably decades ago. Then it was Mark Pi's, and I don't think I went there then. Mike said it is much improved over that. Doesn't look like a whole lot outside. Walk in, and it is new and sleek and shiny. Lots of seating. Not a huge buffet, like supreme, but pretty good-sized. Lots of sushi, some fried foods, some entrées, desserts, etc. Everything looked good. Everything smelled good. Everything I had was good. Service was excellent, although of course minimal since it's a buffet. Price is maybe a little high, but what isn't nowadays? Lunch is I think $14. I tried some sushi, which was pretty fresh. Some fried goods, which were not overly greasy. The chicken skewers were big chunks of tender, tasty chicken. The entrée items were decent cuts of meat, and fresh veggies. All in all, I was very impressed. I would almost give it five stars, because I rate Chinese buffets on a different scale compared to regular Chinese restaurants. But still a solid four, very good for a buffet. I ate as much as I could, and still wanted to go back and try more. I will definitely be back. Plenty of parking, comfortable seating.

Good selection of food, extremely clean inside, new and fresh. Service was fine with drinks refilling often. Would likely return.

This is a new place in town and it's amazing. It's very clean and all the wait staff were very nice. The buffet was amazing. They had authentic Chinese food as well as some American favorites. They have a hibachi station in the back and a build your own pho bar. The sushi is really good, I brought a friend with me and we both loved it. I would highly recommend it, just make sure you eat all the food on your plate, there is an up charge for wasted food!

This new buffet restaurant had their soft open on January 18th. It is an astonishingly huge space with All You Can Eat Hot and Cold Buffet, mate order hibachi, made to order pho, and a wide selection of pre-prepared sushi and sashimi. They have several nice Seafood selections, including fried fish, steamed fish, stir fried shrimp with vegetables, and cold shrimp peel and eat. The Hibachi also includes bay scallops. I would give five stars but for three bumps in the road. First, the sushi was not always labeled. I'm not an expert to know what it is on sight. Second, the fried fish was a little bit too greasy for my taste. Third, the cold peel and eat shrimp really didn't have much flavor at all. However, given that this place has only been open for 5 days, they really are outstanding.

It wasn't a bad spot. But it was very ... Middle of the road. I thought it would be a higher grade Chinese buffet. But it was just a greater selection of mediocre food than you'd normally get at any other buffet. I was excited for this spot but it just wasn't the move.

Ok seriously at all these reviews docking stars and thinking they are at a fine dining establishment. As buffets go, this place is legit. The price point is amazing for what you get (we went during lunch on sat which was weekend/dinner prices at $20). I easily ate that much and more with just the sushi and sashimi, they had two sushi chefs constantly replenishing and the sushi/sashimi was fresh and delicious. I tried most of the other hot food options (standard Chinese buffet fare) with some authentic dishes sprinkled in like salt and pepper crab and frog legs. I would have liked to try the pho station as they offered all the quality add in like tripe and tendon but I really just couldn't as I had eaten to being uncomfortably full. I had recently tried a similar new place up near Polaris (hibachi and sushi buffet) for lunch ($20 for lunch and $30 dinner) and it just pales in comparison. Really hoping that his place keeps up with the standard it has set, highly recommend giving them a try and plan to come hungry!

Just went there today.1. Very, very clean 2. Salmon sushi looked nothing like sushi at buffet. 3. I overhear Pho was blant but I was better than I expected. But I was unable to find Hoisin sauce.

Food: Good variety including Pho', Ramen, and grilled bowls. Lots of sushi choices. There are
