The Yummiest Buffets in Kansas City

Asian Buffet

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (49) • $$

"Good variety, food was hot, clean bathroom (men). Recommend ,........................"

Golden Apple Buffet

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (42) • $$

"The food was very yummy, the restaurant, restrooms, and food area were very clean, the people who work here (and I think the owners) were very kind and accommodating. They had good variety for an Asian buffet, which I have partaken in many where we were from in San Diego. We came in with a group of seven, including four young children, and they were so helpful and patient with us. Plus there was something yummy to eat for everyone. My seven year- old said she wants to live here , which is saying something because she is very picky."

Joy Wok Super Buffet

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (145) • $$

"Brand new location! Joy Wok IS a super buffet! It offers hibachi, sushi, salad, dessert, and traditional Chinese food. We went for lunch and the cost was $12.99 for adults much less for kids. All food was hot and fresh! I was disappointed in the hot and sour soup. It was mostly broth and was neither hot (spicy) or sour! The hibachi station offered plenty of veggies and protein...ask for extra sauce..All in all, it was a great experience and I am ready for more!"

Pardo's Grand Buffet Mexicano Restaurant & Taqueria

★★★★☆ 3.7 (58) • $$

"The buffet is fantastic! Great way to try many authentic Mexican dishes in one go. The mole chicken was fantastic! Rich mildly sweet sauce and super juicy tender chicken throughout."

Chinese Buffet #1688

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (14)

"The food was good just it looked disgusting but tasted goodThe service was good they were kindAnd it was quiet and only my family and 1 other person"

Em Chamas Brazilian Grill

★★★★☆ 3.5 (371) • $$$

"Haven't been here in like 10 years! Thought we would go since it's been forever. It was very good. Loved all the meat selections offered. Even got some grilled pineapple! It was so good. Glad they came around with it to the table! The buffet part does have some good options, but don't expect something huge like you're at Golden Corral. No. It's fancy sides, this place isn't really for young kids. But the buffet part has had a salad bar with 4 choices of dressings and few toppings. Also some cold sides like pasta salad, pineapple salad, cucumber salad, broccoli salad, asparagus, other veggie blends, and such. If you're picky you might not like the cold side options except salad. They have a lot of Brazilian sides. It's a Brazilian restaurant! There's soup, alfredo, mashed potatoes, beans, veggies for hot sides. Beef stroganoff was good too. You get bread and these cinnamon banana things too for the table. They do have dessert if you happen to save any room! You get so full with all the meat! We got tres leche cake and this passionfruit mousse. O my gosh, that mousse is amazing!!!"

Bangkok Pavillion

★★★★☆ 3.7 (289) • $$

"Didn't know this place had a buffet until someone told me. The lunch buffet wasn't bad. You get a variety of Thai food from their menu, with a lot of different meat options with the dishes. Food was hot still at the buffet table. Service was good. The interior was spacious!"

The Pitchfork

★★★★☆ 4.4 (8)

"Great food with wonderful service! I had the Pitchfork Melt with the homemade chips. Loved it! My husband had the Smoked Meat Salad with their brisket. He thought is was very good - and filling!Definitely give this place a try - you won't be disappointed!"

MaMa Garden

★★★☆☆ 3 (127) • $

"I've gone here for years and it's always been great, but make sure you're hungry when you walk in or you'll be overstuffed when you leave staff is friendly and attentive, restaurant is clean, and food is amazing! Nothing really negative to say about this place."

Chinese Buffet

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (5)

"This is a small restaurant. I have only had beef fried rice - takeout. Base on this limited sample I give them a rating of 5. The people were friendly, the restaurant appeared neat and clean. The beef fried rice (spicy) was excellent. The buffet was very small compared to Chinese restaurants in the bigger cities."

Ma Ma China

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (65) • $

"What can be better? My son took me to Mama China's, and paid for it. The crab rangoon, the walnut shrimp, and the sautéed green beans, that are fresh, not canned, all waiting to be devoured. Oh and, lo mein noodles, stuffed mushrooms, kun-pao chicken. I think the green beans and walnut shrimp are still my favorite. No, maybe the green beans, only are my favorite. But, wait, I love the honey chicken, and the cashew chicken also, with the baby corn. I always make sure to eat doubles (though I know I get too full doing this), and can't eat later. My iced tea was unlimited, and so was the soda. It was pretty crowded today, for a Saturday afternoon. Everything was fresh, and they put out fresh crab rangoon as I was going into the serving area. The crab rangoon so creamy without any chunks at all, melts in your mouth. They also replaced the green beans. I've said how much I love those green beans. I could make a meal out of the green beans alone. This is a place I suggest if you're in Raytown, to not miss."

Great Wall Super Buffet

★★☆☆☆ 1.9 (46) • $

"We nearly did not go because of rating. We thought it was great. Very good for a buffet. Hibachi was pleasant surprise. There were a couple things that I didn't care for, but more of preference issue. The rest tasted very good. My brother and I could not figure out why it had a 2 star rating. I wish the buffet back home was this good."

PeachTree Cafeteria

★★★★☆ 3.7 (183) • $$

"Everyone was in line waiting over 20 minutes for fried chicken so I didn't bother with that. I got yams which were super hot and very well spiced. The macaroni was out of this world!! I don't even usually ever get macaroni but this was amazingly seasoned and had SUCH flavor! Finally the banana pudding was impressively delicious. I've had about 1000 average banana puddings in my life but not kidding something about this one was extra delicious. I am super impressed with how good the food was despite me just ordering side dishes."

Burgher Haus

★★★★☆ 4 (45) • $

"Amazing lunch buffet and worth the drive. Cozy and homestyle cooking done right. Drove out to check this out and will be back. Worth the 20 minute drive!"

Country Pride Beto Junction

★★★★☆ 3.5 (13)

"Cute diner located right off the highway. I ordered the chicken fried steak breakfast. Everything was great except the hash browns were a bit greasy. The waitress was friendly and frequently checked in on us. The quotes carved into each booth were fun to read."

Chen’s Buffet

★★★★☆ 3.9 (23) • $

"More of 3.5 stars, but our service was really good...HS age/college age girl with glasses. She sat us was super polite and friendly. Cleared our table fast and made sure we had water refills. The buffet itself is your standard buffet. There are better ones out there, but for the price $6.65/lunch and $8.??/dinner you can't beat that. They have a pretty big selection of things to choose from. One other review recommends the pepper shrimp and I second that. Overall the food was good. Crab Rangoon was good- but could've used more filling inside. Th egg rolls were ok."

Joy Wok Super Buffet

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (95) • $$

"I thought this place was great. Very clean, no only gross food sitting around, and a great wait staff! They have a little bit of everything. Chinese, sushi, some American food like pizza. Great fruit selection! I will definitely be back next time I'm in town. My picky young children even found a ton of stuff they liked."

Dietz Family Buffet

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (36) • $$

"Sure Tastes Like Home Cooking!Full Disclosure: This was the first time I have eaten at a buffet in over 10 years. But for an old friend's birthday celebration I figured it was time.Located in a strip mall on Clinton's Ohio Street, there is ample parking in their private lot. The lot being nearly full on a Thursday noon was a good sign of its popularity.Coming through the front door I noticed how clean and well maintained everything was for an older building. Walking past the food I also noticed that everything looked and smelled fresh and warm (no empty pans or caked mess around the pans). Yet another good sign. At the cash register the young lady took our drink orders and accepted my credit card payment. As we sat down at our table our server appeared immediately and offered to take our trays (there are no "rails" along the serving line to rest them on). Getting up-close and personal with the food really whet my appetite. Their salad bar offered a number of different salads, along with pepperoni, ham, bacon, beets, cheeses, and about anything else you might want. The meats were all inviting (their BBQ Brisket was thick sliced, and not a bit dry or tough, chicken not dry, and meatloaf like mother used to make). Followed by 3 kinds of fish, hush puppies, fried okra, and chicken. Even past noon, there were breakfast items (scrambled eggs, biscuits & sausage gravy, ham, bacon, and more cheese) followed by chicken livers and fresh veggies. In fact, a vegetarian would feel very welcome here! The desert section stopped me cold with their coconut cream pie and fresh brownies. The amazing thing was that everything tasted like home cooking! Not sure how that was done, but it sure seemed that way. Our server kept a good eye on our needs throughout the meal. And there was no rush to turn our table as we sat for over an hour and a half chatting. Our three meals (with an number of return trips to the serving bar) came out to a very affordable $38 including tax. Needless to say, I did tip on the higher end of the scale. Should you find yourself hungry in Clinton,MO., do yourself a favor and fill up at Deitz. I know that I sure will."

Gingerich Dutch Pantry

★★★★☆ 4.2 (38) • $

"Good home cooking! They have a buffet, which my family loves. I prefer to order off the menu. Every time we've been here it's been good. The fish is yummy, along with the fried chicken!"

Rajmahal Indian Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.4 (242) • $$

"Our first time dining in, this is typically our go to for DoorDash if we're getting Indian.Valentines dinner was lovely. They had the place decorated with roses and candles on each table, balloons throughout. We can earlier and were one of the first seated.They give complimentary chutney and crackers. We ordered the garlic naan, a spicy naan, chicken samosas, chicken kalimirch and lamb coconut curry.I ordered my chicken kalimirch as extra extra spicy. And the spice level was good for me! Samosas are huge, the pastry was flaky, and not oily! The food was amazing.. we just had to wait quite a bit.Several tables who came much after us got their apps and entrees before us. It took a good 30 minutes for our samosas to get to us. I'm not sure if things are all made to order and fresh, or what was going on. We got there at about 545p but our entrees weren't presented to us until closer to 645p.We were checked on often and we did leave quite full and happy."

Joy Wok

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (21)

"My mom, sons, and I came in to try the buffet since we'd heard well of it. The location is quite close to my mom's home and we decided to check it out. Walking in, the restaurant was vey clean and well tempered. It wasn't really busy and we were fine with that! On the side where the seating resides, there's a really nice bar area with a couple tvs for viewing sports. Quite nice! On the other side, the buffet area was extremely clean and the hibachi, and sushi stations were well kept. The food looks great and fresh. The taste matched the visuals. I was very pleased at how fresh and clean tasting everything was. My young children are quite particular with food and don't like greasy foods and they are a good amount for a two and four year old! I didn't try the hibachi or sushi stations this first visit, but I May in the future! The service was pleasant and our server was very courteous in asking if we wanted more refreshments instead of just getting us more. She was awesome in allowing us to enjoy our meals without many interruptions. For the first visit, I was very pleased. I hope the location has longevity and keeps up their great menus"

The Happy Dragon

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (101) • $

"All you can eat Chinese Hot Pot! They have fresh seafood options like whole shrimp, crawfish, and mussels as well as thinly sliced meats like beef and lamb. There's a wide variety of noodles, mushrooms, and veggies (tong ho and bok choy). They have a variety of broths to choose from but always get the herbal white broth and the spicy Sichuan broth. AYCE hot pot is available all day Saturday and Sunday but during the weekdays, only from 5-9 PM. Highly recommend this place if hot pot is your jam!"

Power Play

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (52) • $

"I feel like when this place opened it was running at full speed. Since the pandemic I feel like they are running at half speed and could use some improvements. The passes are reasonable but I would say they overcharge for the games available due to the quality and condition of them. It's nice to have a place like this available to use on hot days or when the weather is not cooperating outside."

Don's Family Style Buffet

★★★★☆ 4 (21) • $$

"This restaurant in "the middle of nowhere" may not look like much when you drive by, but I PROMISE you will be surprised. Don's serves THE BEST fried chicken I have ever had, and I've had fried chicken in about all 50 states. I grew up in the area and our family would go to Don's after church on Sunday and we would alllllll eat as much as we could. The mashed potatoes and gravy are spectacular and the stuffing is unbelievably delicious. 10/10 would recommend stopping at Don's if you ever get the chance!

Lucky Buffet

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (46) • $

"Me and my kids came to visit we were treated very nicely the staff were sweet and kind and patient with us. The food was hot and replenished often and this was on a slow day maybe 10 people total in the business. Every area was filled and available."

THE pizza place

★★★★☆ 4.3 (46)

"I have to admit this is a great little pizza joint that offers gluten-free keto and regular pizza. Their salad bars nothing to sneeze at either. Super friendly staff stumbled upon them a few weeks ago and have been there at least three times Wood highly recommend."

China Buffet

★★★★☆ 3.9 (21) • $$

"Everything was good. The food was hot! That's important. The fried rice was very good!! We enjoyed the egg rolls, hot & sour soup, Hibachi chicken, Hawaiian chicken, and the General's chicken was my favorite! Their soft serve twist ice cream is very creamy and not icy like most buffets. It was yummy! Great value for a buffet. 3 people, our check was $22 after tax. Place was clean, including the restroom. Located in a shopping plaza w/ an Ace hardware, Sunfresh grocery, and directly next to a SERC physical therapy."

Schrockbier Old Smokehouse

★★★★☆ 4.3 (3)

"So, as far as the ribs go, they are average they're not fall off the bone. They are juicy. Got a nice flavor to them."

China Buffet

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (47) • $

"This place is fire. If they had more sushi, it would be 100/10 but let's not get greedy. The wallpaper is old and outdated which is exactly what I need to see when I come to a Chinese place. They have a fishtank full of sad obese fish which means the food will smack. Insane variety for the price, IMO price is best in area for what you get. Last time I went we had like 7 people on a busy day, and we got sat within 10 minutes. Screaming children running around the tables, a stamp of quality to every Chinese buffet. Ate so much I hated myself and lost 15 pounds the next month."

China Garden

★★☆☆☆ 2.1 (121) • $$

"We were able to walk right in and we sat ourselves at our table. They had a nice variety of options fried & steamed rice. Different chicken, beef and shrimp options other things I just can't name it all. A hibachi Station and sushi. It was several families there but it was not even loud at all."

Asian Buffet

★★★★☆ 3.7 (130) • $

"This is a very good place with a full selection of entrees, sides and even multiple very good desserts. What a selection of seafood. Very well prepared with all of the spices I've come to expect at a buffet. Not being a glutton, I surely only tried about 10-20% of the lunch/dinner items and all of it was good or very good. Because the displays were ample and generous, I had only one plate for lunch and another for dessert; I was also pleased with the checkout process that left me with a perfunctory fortune cookie containing a pleasant fortune.Whereas some buffets put out plenty of cooked seafood, not all are as thoroughly well seasoned and prepared. Food: 4 stars.The service was prompt and excellent from hello to goodbye. It's mainly an upbeat family atmosphere, not particularly intimate or romantic. Pleasant and studiously kept clean by an attentive but unobtrusive staff.Service: 5 stars! Ambiance: 3.5 stars.I will return here soon. It's my new favorite Chinese food spot in the N.E. K.C. area!"

King's Chef Buffet

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (97) • $

"False menu pricing by manager's own admission. Charged me and my family dinner buffet pricing which increased the price by 3 dollars each, at 11am on a Saturday, when their menu specifically says lunch pricing is until 3:29pm on Saturdays.Manager refused to revise price while openly admitting the menu is outdated, though no warning prior to the meal was given. Brought cost to over $50 for 3 buffet meals and drinks."Invest 10 dollars now, if it will likely save 100 dollars in the future.""

Cowboy Cafe

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"I had me the eggs and chopped steak breakfast which comes with hash brown and a pancake or could be substituted for a biscuit. The food was great and the service was phenomenal. The lady attending was always attentive to my drink and made sure everything was good. The place was nice and peaceful."
