Lam Bo Chinese Buffet

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (225)

"I love it here. I see not that many people like it, but maybe it holds a special place in my heart because I've been going there since I was a kid. I also always get the same three things, the lo mein, curry chicken, and Mac and cheese. My favorite combo lol. Their selection has gone down over the years for sure, though, but my same three choices remain, so I still love it."

Giddings Downtown Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.7 (78)

"This is southern comfort food at its very best. We took a quick day trip from Austin to Giddings to do some business there and planned it around lunch time so we could try out a local restaurant. We were enthusiastically greeted when we walked in the door and were told that we could have a seat wherever you wanted and the young lady took our drink orders and asked us to just go ahead and go over to the buffet where we would be served. There were quite a few entree choices and side choices but the gist of it is that you get an entree with two sides and a roll or cornbread. All for under 10 bucks. I had the smothered steak with onions and it was absolutely delicious. The mashed potatoes and gravy were very good as well. The waitstaff were very attentive and kept checking up on us to see if we needed anything else. The restaurant was clean, bathrooms were clean, and all the staff that we interacted with were very friendly, helpful and seemed to actually like their job. Some past reviews might be a little too uppity because the food is true comfort food but it has a very good taste and the portions are very very decent for the amount you pay. You want to pay $30 for a plate of food that is cooked by a "chef" then go to the big city and throw your money away if you want to. The next time we're in Giddings we're definitely going to stop here again."

Kirin II Japanese Seafood Buffet

"Great food, Great service keeps me returning., Need I write more to post the review??"

Hibachi Grill & Buffet

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (68)

"Loved this place! all the food delicious! 100% recommended! The only negative thing I see is that on the weekends its a little bit pricey than on the weekdays! so I recomend you to go on a weekday to save money and its better cause its specially not crowded at all like on the weekends, but overall pretty amazing!"

Oriental Gourmet

★★☆☆☆ 2.2 (37)

"I've been to numerous buffets during my time, and Oriental Gourmet definitely scrapes the bottom of the barrel of any restaurant measure criteria. I'm confident that at any city kitchen inspection or evaluation, Oriental Gourmet edges by with the minimum passable score. Chinese buffets aren't known for being upscale, but Oriental Gourmet really perpetuates that stereotype. However, at $7.95, you really don't expect too much.Walking into the restaurant, you'll feel the tinge of muggy air caress your skin. Beware this is a hallmark of a cheap owner, not willing to lower the air condition because of higher electric bills. Covid-19 preventions are still in place as annoying as it is, most everyone follows it. They require you to use plastic glove to use their tongs. Personally, I believe this is unnecessary, but whatever.As the pricing suggests, the buffet itself is underwhelming compared to other buffets such as V-star (Walking distance away). You'll get your typical sweet sour chicken, General Tso, french fries, fried rice, lo mein, assorted soups and a field of fried stuff. However, this is where my panties got jumbled. They have a section for sushi, but they have a sign up saying they're not serving sushi due to Covid-19. This is bullsh*t. They're not serving sushi because its on the higher end of food costs and more expensive to serve. If it really was due to covid, then the entire place needs to shut down. They're just using covid as a reason to not do sushi. I am Asian, so I know all the reasons and BS we point our fingers at to cut costs. Bathroom has a urine/bleach smell and the waitresses are mainlanders that try to speak English, but end up speaking a verbose rendition of a southern twang mix of Chinglish (Again, I am ethnically Chinese) and I notice these things. Look, if the $7.95 pricing point doesn't foreshadow the kind of food you're gonna get, then you're an idiot. I would save up an extra $3.00 and go visit V-star down the road for a MUCH BETTER experience and Sushi!"

Fonda Santa Rosa

★★★★★ 4.6 (375) • $

"I was super excited to try this place, the food looked so good online, so I grabbed a few coworkers and off we went!When we got here, it smelled so yummy inside and I loved how bright everything was. The waitress was so sweet and nice, and very attentive. Now the food, we ordered the chorizo fondue for the table, flavor wise, was just ok. It wasn't super melty, so it was really hard to get out of the bowl, and it only came with 3 tortillas, there was 4 of us! So we ate the rest with the chips. The chorizo was good and came with pico to top, but it just needed more seasoning overall for the whole dish. Then I ordered some tacos. The menu looked like they'd be street sized, small, so I asked if I could order 3 and she said yes. I order 2 fajita steak and 1 barbacoa. She said the barbacoa was her fave and I can see why. This is the only one that was truly flavored the best, was super juicy and tender and melted with each bite. The fajita steak was overcooked and lacked flavor as well. I like the onions, cilantro and lime on mine, but it didn't enhance the flavor at all. I love little places like this, so I'd like to give it another try and try something different. Only other thing as a takeaway is that you're charged for chips and salsa, and the one additional taco I ordered was $9. $5.99 for a sing le taco and +$3.99 to make it barbacoa. The one taco was more than the two, so pretty pricey in my opinion."

Schobels Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (328)

"Delicious German and Southern food with quick and friendly service. Middle of the restaurant features a buffet and salad bar with a giant wedge of Colby as its centerpiece. Buffet looked OK, but we were happy with our decision to order off the menu instead. I got the wiener schnitzel, a magnificently large pork cutlet pounded thin and fried to a golden brown. Go all-out German and choose the German potatoes to go with the included red cabbage. My companion got the liver and onions - also a tremendous portion and full of livery flavor. Both meals included a trip to the salad bar, where I didn't pass up an opportunity to grab a hunk of the Colby. Apparently they have pie by the slice too, but we were too stuffed to think about it. Convenient to I-10 if you're traveling and want a break from the chain restaurants."

Pop Buffet

★★☆☆☆ 1.8 (6)

"They have ample seating. Its never crowded. Lol My co-worker and I have tried this place several times. The food was always cold. The last attempt we asked for our money back and left."

Mellow Manna

★★★★☆ 3.5 (94) • $$

"They're pretty mellow here, you could say they're mild-Manna'd.I discovered a rather excellent Indian restaurant located in a neighbourhood that really doesn't have any or much Indian food at all, and I'm impressed. They're pretty generic and catering to not Indians but everyone else, but they also have good quality and decent prices and some pretty good food, especially considering this neighbourhood doesn't have almost any good Indian places."

Go Shabu

★★★★★ 4.6 (218) • $$

"Absolutely wonderful experience at my first time at Go Shabu! We ate there for lunch, I think it was about $15 a person which given the quality and quantity of food options I'm not sure how its possible! The service was friendly, waiter was extremely informative and patient with my inexperience, and we had a absolutely delicious experience. I got a small amount of everything I wanted to try and almost couldn't finish it, much less think about getting seconds. It's so easy to oversubscribe to food selections, I understand their "waste surcharge" or whatever they called it if you took much more than you eat. I somehow forgot to get a picture of the buffet but it was gorgeous! SO MANY food options, noodles, vegetables, seafood, just over abundance and it all seemed fresh, clean ,etc. no part of me was skeptical about food safety, and as I've gotten older I tend to look at that more :)As far as meats, they let you pick 3, you can see it in the bottom of my photo, there are three stacked plates. They are shaved super thin and at first don't seem like much food but if you finish it they'll refill them per request. They seem very generous, its just about not wasting massive amounts of food. We honestly almost forgot about the meats given how many other foods we got, and how delicious they were!"

E Star

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (217)

"A LOT of food at an affordable price! If you're interested in quantity (and not necessarily quality) this is the place for you. Huge buffet that includes a stir-fried section, noodles, sushi and sashimi, and dessert, there is something for everyone who likes Asian cuisine. Staff were helpful, though they were visibly overwhelmed with our large group and the usual busy Sunday crowd. I was skeptical about food hygiene, but everything seemed clean and (as far as I know!) nobody in our party got sick! My daughters can eat an endless amount of sushi, so I may take them and try it again."

Hunan Chef

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (143) • $$

"Lots of buffet items to chose from and service is good. Buffets are a little iffy for me, but this one was pretty good. I'm not a germaphobe, but there's something about other people touching the same utensils I touch. Good news, they keep things very clean. The orange chicken was good, love the mushrooms and the eggdrop soup was really good. Restaurant is clean."

TJ Filipino Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.2 (133)

"I'm not an expert on Filipino food. I think this buffet was a good way for me to see what kinds of dishes there are and to try them. I only came here because Mike Chen (aka, Strictly Dumpling) had a video about them on Youtube. I don't really know what I was eating, but the caldereta was really good, especially with rice. Besides hot foods, they also had orange slices and some desserts. This seemed like a small family-owned business. There weren't too many customers. It made me feel like the food just sits there and doesn't get replaced for fresh batches. There were so many signs about them charging for leftovers. They really don't want to waste food! I asked them if there was a difference between lunch and dinner, but there wasn't. I think lunch is just cheaper. There was plenty of parking. Bathroom is available. I thought I saw a small stage, so they might have live music!"

Nirvana Indian Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.1 (377) • $$

"Nirvana is one of the nicer Indian buffets in Houston. I came by back in September to try their lunch buffet. The service is quick and the food is refilled quite often. They have the usual fare that you expect from an Indian buffet but what really impressed me is the fact that they had an assortment of salads, chutneys, and pakoras. There was also a large variety of chicken and a goat curry dish. Several types of rice available including biryani. Most surprising was the Indo-Chinese food that they had. I liked all the desserts that they had to offer. I forgot to take any pics while I was here because I was super hungry. Note to self: Parking can be a little tricky. Get early or time it correctly."

Mezban

★★★★☆ 3.7 (256) • $$

"Nice old-fashioned interior and furniture for a Indian buffet restaurant. As soon as I walked in to Mezban, employees immediately greeted us.Food was decent. I went with a group after a bus tour around Hilcroft Gandhi Shopping District. The cleanliness however was a concern. I saw a critter crawling across the floor as I was about to sit down. As I poured a drink into the foam cups, I started to feel the leak on my hand. Holy sh... I grabbed another cup to catch the drip. The tables were not the cleanest. I guess they got so many leaky cups. Customers seemed to enjoy this place. It's a buffet. It was Saturday. The food seemed plentiful on the buffet line. I sampled few dishes and went back for more of what I liked. I couldn't tell which was which because the labels were moved. I just wish Mezban was more organized and cleaned to my usual restaurant dining expectations."

Apicius Kitchen & Bar

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (53)

"Apicius is a nice spot that is in the Rotary House connected to MD Anderson. It is a great spot for patients and family members to grab a nice meal outside of the hospital food. It is also a great spot for those of us who work at the hospital to grab a meal before or after work. I can only speak on the breakfast as some of us partook after our shift one day. Most of us had the breakfast buffet and it was absolutely delicious. They can make your eggs made to order so most of us had omelettes. They also made us very tasty waffles made to order. All the typical sides and breakfast accompaniments were great also. They are definitely a step above your typical breakfast buffet elsewhere. The service we received was what you would expect at a nice hotel establishment. If you come in the evening, they have a full bar as well. Overall, I would definitely come back and keep it in my breakfast rotation if in the area!"

Umi Sushi & Seafood Buffet

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (165) • $$$

"We are true to this, not new to this! some families are buffet families and others are not. We are the former. My mom is like a HAWK with the fresh refills. It was busy when we got here for early dinner, linner? around 4pm on a Sunday but no wait. We got sat at a booth tucked in a far corner but looking around at all the seafood on nearby table's I was excited to begin my journey. in order: Sushi/sashimi start (these little aluminum trays...I am undecided on my feelings), make my way to the cold seafood (mussels, oysters, crablegs) then hot seafood (they have hot crablegs as well) and grilled meats. The pre-poured boba drinks were a nice touch, my favorites were just the teas - no milk. They have a fresh ramen station, soups and desserts but I didn't partake in any of these. Top dishes: - lamb chop, frog legs, oxtail stew, and the garlic lobster (when it's fresh) Honorable mentions: - grilled shrimp, shortrib and clams We found one lone stone crab claw in the crab legs at one point (tough to open with the crab cracker tbh, need to bring a hammer next time)"

China Sea Hibachi Buffet

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (168)

"Not a buffet fan, but I genuinely loved this one. The customer service is great. While they do have a smaller selection than other buffets, they're well stocked, clean, and have decently seasoned food. Will be returning to this one!"

Mosa Asian Bistro

★★★★☆ 3.9 (184) • $$

"Mosa Asian Bistro is an awesome Jersey Village neighborhood favorite. Huge selection of rolls and entrees! Mosa Roll and Shrimp Tempura roll are my faves. Shrimp with Candies Walnuts is my wife's fave and it's delicious."

Bon KBBQ

★★★★☆ 4 (26)

"AYCE KBBQ, was recommended this spot by one of my friends. The look of this place was very modern and clean. They set up the sides as a buffet style which was smart cuz rather than continuing to ask our waiter for more sides we can get it ourselves. Also they had premade entrees like chicken & fried shrimp. But you're here for the meat so why fill up on that stuff??They have a wide range of meat selection such as brisket to Bulgogi to pork belly. They all came out in a reasonable amount of time. If you need to grab the waiters attention, there's a light switch at your booth which would signal one of them to come to you. One thing tho is that they don't have rice paper but we was able to manage. Overall this place is great and would highly recommend this place."

Cocina Latina Pupusa Buffet

★★★★☆ 3.8 (9)

"This place is amazing! The pupusas are delicious, as all pupusas are, and so having them in buffet form is the best idea I've heard of in a long time. The place is very small and casual, and prices are good. The people who work there are nice and friendly. Knowing a little Spanish will help you to order, but if you don't speak Spanish and the person working there doesn't speak English, gesturing to the buffet will probably get your point across. If you are Salvadoran, you will not be disappointed in this place either. One evening, I had a last minute need to pick up food to feed 10 of my friends. About half of them were from El Salvador. I stopped by this place, and they got my huge order together in less than 15 minutes, including pupusas with cream and beans. Everyone thought the food was excellent. So there you go: Salvadoran-approved pupusas in buffet form. You can't go wrong!"

Supreme Hibachi & Sushi Buffet

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (44)

"Very good and pretty consistent! Good value though! Has the hibachi grill which is always a good choice! Most entrees are pretty damn fresh!"

E Star

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (195) • $$

"Oh, I had a lovely time here! My robot escorted me to my seat, and the waitress in my area was just lovely. This place is huge and well-decorated; it really caught my eye. The food options were plentiful so it's impossible to try everything but I did try to. You're best bet is to eat everything in smaller portions or just keep coming back like I'm doing."

E-Star Asian Buffet

★★★★☆ 3.9 (50)

"There are multiple E-Star locations throughout Houston, but none newer than this location up north. Unlike the other sister spots, they've done a good job at modernizing what would otherwise be a very typical but solid buffet.There are parking spots aplenty and numerous seating options. The staff is robust and a diverse group of Spanish and Mandarin speakers, both young and older. The place looks rather grand upon entrance, especially considering the theme of the restaurant. As a result of how large and spacious everything is, the buffet in turn looks rather small.While it might feel small, the items that are there seem to be pretty good. Food is replenished quickly and the variety is mainly composed of the usual fried / stir fried American-Chinese classics. There is pizza, nuggets, and fries for the kiddos and basic palates. People who seek this stuff out will likely love their spread. Extra thumbs up for the nearly perfectly pan fried dumplings.My money is mainly on their sushi selection. On the weekends there is a solid variety of sushi rolls, nigiri, and a mix of sashimi, beautifully laid out. In most buffets, it's always poorly managed but the presentation seems on point. The quality is on par with an AYCE sushi spot, which is expected for a place like this.This is not my usual wheelhouse for food, but E-Star did a great job of managing my expectations. The best part? The weekend buffet price was only $17. The value, attentive service, abundant seating options, and solid food choices will likely have me back again."

75 BBQ and Hot Pot Buffet

★★★★☆ 3.6 (252) • $$

"First time here at 75 where these is a AYCE option of beef. Seafood, and hot pot items. It is about $30 per person on the weekends. My dad has his birthday there so he ask me to come and check it out. Victor our waiter was amazing. He explained how it all worked and was very attentive to all our needs. Best service ever They have a combination of Korean BBQ and Hot pot fixing. My favorite was the crab legs and the black and white fish cake that had squid ink.It was definitely worth the trip."

Ling's Buffet

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (135)

"I highly recommend this restaurant. Their dishes are excellent in that they don't all taste the same like some buffets do. Their crab is the best, most plump juicy crab that I have ever eaten. The service could NOT be more attentive to your needs while you are dining in their restaurant. Enjoy."

Great Wall Buffet

★★☆☆☆ 1.5 (23)

"Would not recommend. The service is really bad for what we payed for 37.43 for three people. The food was mainly cold and made it seem as if it had been out for longer then a day. Overall would recommend some other place"

Hibachi Grill and Buffet

★★☆☆☆ 1.8 (4)

"Ive only done take out here. Food is good, fresh and a wide variety of sushi. The sauce is excellent. Cant really understand the lady, but food is good sushi wise. However i think if a person just wants sushi they should drop the price a lil."

Taste of The Caribbean

★★★★☆ 4.4 (117) • $$

"Stumbled upon this gem of a authentic Carribean restaurant this weekend. Let's start with the hospitality. Upon entering I was greeted by Mr.R he was pleasant and happy to answer all of my questions about the menu in detail. The entrance has a mini market where you purchase Carribean seasonings, drinks and produce. I thought the restaurant was take out only at first until I spotted the dining area. The space is quaint and small I personally like the dining setup. There is also a stage setup in the dining area for comedy night. Puts me in the mind of the Houston Improv where you can dine and watch a comedy show. The food was great! I had the Stewed Chicken, Cabbage, Mango Salsa w/ a Roti and plantains. In addition to that I also ordered freshly squeezed pineapple juice and a beef meat pie.Here are my ratings on each dish:Meat Pie- I give it a 7 out of 10. The beef was more in a pate form than ground beef as I have had in the past and the pie could use more flavor.Pineapple Juice- Too sweet for me I would have liked a stronger pineapple flavor. 4 out 10Mango Salsa- Excellent ! 9 out of 10Cabbage- Had nice crunch complimented the meal well. 8 out of 10Plantains - cooked to perfection 10 out of 10Stewed Chicken- 9 out of 10 Great flavor. Next I will go for more spice.Prices at this location runs anywhere between $14 - $21.99 which i think is fair."

Super 6 Buffet

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (134) • $$

"Decent Chinese buffet option with plenty of seating. All the standard dishes you'd expect from a Chinese buffet - stir fried noodles, fried rice, broccoli and beef, etc. There is even a section for dessert. It's very spacious and clean inside and service is fast."

Feast Buffet

★★★★☆ 3.5 (174)

"Every once in awhile, I get a hankering for a Chinese buffet. Tiktok somehow knew my cravings and this kept popping up I rounded up another foodie friend and we came on down to Feast. It's located in Katy and easy to get to. There's plenty of parking since it's in a shopping complex. I don't know what this place was before, but this place is massive not only in what size, but also for the selection they offer. Customer service was ok, mostly straight business with an occasional smile. Finished plates and empty drinks got taken care of quickly. Feast advertises as a Chinese, Japanese and Mexican buffet with a little American sprinkled in. Quite a mix of flavors and I kind of dig it. When I do get in the mood for buffets, it's because I want variety. I definitely get that here. We came when it opened, so everything was hot and fresh. The bad part about that was that the sushi was a tad bit too cold for my liking as I'm sure it's mass produced and taken out of the fridge as needed. That being said, the sushi actually tasted good. I tried all the varieties of hot food and it was mostly tasty as well. They have a massive dessert selection as well. It's a little far, but I would drive out here again when the craving hits again."

Ranchero King Buffet

"Well for being buffet and all you can eat! This is a pretty good place to come and try! Wow the habachi grill is the bomb I really like it. Get the seafood combo! Shoot you are going to love it especially spicy!!! Yep that's how you eat it the spicier the better. Come and get some good decent food! Egg Rolls are delicious by the way!!!"
