Super Moon Buffet

Ambiance is nice, service is perfunctory but efficient. Food varies from tasteless breaded shrimp to wonderfully crispy fried fish fillets. The trick with any of these Chinese buffets is to zero in on what tastes good to you, and then feast on that. For instance, I tried a single breaded shrimp, which was cold, dry and tasteless. In contrast, the fried fish fillets were delicious. Thus it went with each dish. Some were delicious, some so-so, and a few were...well, let's say you have to examine the food before putting it on your plate. In fact, your first plate should be crowded with single spoonfuls of whatever interests you. Learn from that.My personal favorite has always been coconut shrimp, which today, Saturday at about 2pm, they had lots of. I piled it on my plate and gorged. It was fairly good. I was a bit surprised that their pepper beef was good, too. The baking soda treatment to soften beef worked well. The pot stickers were actually moist, where in some buffets they get dried out. Most of the food looked decently prepared, and it was piled high in the serving trays. Sushi was a bit sparse, but good. I love fresh ginger and fake wasabi, and the dipping sauce was decent. It should go without saying, avoid stuff like pizza at a Chinese buffet, just as you avoid egg rolls at Denny's. Respect the domain. That said, they had plenty of basic salad stuff, and a good spread of fruits. I finished with a small helping of soft serve ice milk and a little square of tiramisu. The ice milk had some ice crystals in it...'Tis the season, I guess...

The Super Moon Buffet in St. Louis Park offers a wide variety of food, but the overall experience is hit or miss depending on your expectations. The buffet features a diverse range of dishes, including standard American-Chinese items like fried rice, lo mein, General Tso's chicken, as well as sushi and a few seafood options such as crab legs and shrimp. There's also a grill station and a selection of desserts.The food quality can vary; some dishes are fresh and flavorful, while others might seem lukewarm or overly greasy. The sushi is typically mediocre, often lacking the freshness you would find in a dedicated sushi restaurant. The crab legs, when available, are a highlight for many, though they tend to run out quickly during peak hours. The grill station provides a more personalized experience, but the wait can be long.Service is mostly self-serve, though staff is quick to clear plates and refill drinks. The atmosphere is casual and family-friendly, but the large space can feel noisy and chaotic during busy times. Cleanliness is usually maintained, but it's worth noting that the sheer volume of diners can make some areas feel less tidy.Overall, Super Moon Buffet is a decent option if you're looking for a variety of food at a budget-friendly price, but don't expect gourmet quality. It's a place for quantity over quality, and best suited for casual family outings or large groups.

I decided to give this place a try after driving by for years. I stopped by to get lunch buffet takeout and the first thing I noticed was how busy this place is! I guess there must be lots of loyal customers. When we were leaving, the line to get in was out the door! Most of the food is very basic and a lot of the items on the salad bar looked old and weathered. They also have a weird pricing guide, they charge a lot more if you get seafood, but I'll be honest those tiny shrimp did not look appetizing at all and I do not think they warrant a higher price! There were two options for take out during lunch: per pound ($5.99 without seafood and $9.99 with seafood) or they have an option to just fill the box ($10.99 without seafood, $14.99 with seafood). It's just odd because the cream cheese wontons are labeled as seafood even though I'm pretty certain there was just cream cheese in there. The one redeeming quality is that they have Mongolian bbq, which I love! You pick out frozen meat, noodles, veggies and sauce and they cook it for you on a hot stone! This is one of my favorites and I don't think we have any true Mongolian bbq spots left in the twin cities! So really I would give 1-2 stars BUT my love for Mongolian bbq bumped it up to a 3!

It has been years since I found an Asian buffet as large and plentiful as this place. Super Moon had a great variety of food choices and a hibachi grill if you chose to grill your choices. Sushi was just okay, and a few dishes were squished with food, giving the appearance of a rush job. Service was very good with removal of plates and replenishing wster glasses. The best part was the desserts available. I would gladly return again.

Not as good as it used to be. Sure there's a ton of food, but not a ton of flavor. Overly sugary sauces, appetizers deep fried too long and piles of just so so sushi. If you wanna get stuffed on mediocre Chinese food, this place will do that for you. On a positive note, It's clean and plenty of space to eat. The servers are very attentive and ready to take your plate when you wanna go try something new. But overall, save your money and go get some real Chinese food somewhere else.

Convenient Chinese Buffet to downtown MPLS. I've always driven past this restaurant on the way to the city and wondered what it would be to dine in. It's not the worse buffet I've had, but could be better. We went later in the lunch rush, around 1 on a Saturday. You pay first and then seat yourself. Being winter, the first section has a draft and was completely empty compared to middle and end. It was pretty packed inside. When you get seated, the staff were pretty attentive on drinks and removing plates. Tables were cleaned as customers left, that side of the house is well managed.Food: There's 4-5? Hot bar lines plus salad, sushi rolls, Mongolian grill, and dessert. There's a nice assortment of different things; stir fry clams, noodles, fried chicken in a sauce, pizza and chicken nuggets for pickier eaters. That being said, the food quality was hit or miss. This part drove down my rating. The fried chicken pieces seemed mostly breading. Some items were overcooked like the fried jalopenos. We ate later during the lunch rush, so you could tell that they kept food in the warmers, as when they brought out a new batch the appearances were a little rough. The fruit for dessert had some overly ripe pieces which were hard to miss with the lighting. Overall if you don't want to travel far, it's an option. But would recommend driving an extra 10minutes to a different venue or maybe arriving earlier before the lunch rush.

Went here for dinner and it was okay. I had no idea what to expect but it was a solid experience for a buffet. I am not a huge buffet fan but they had a lot of great options so it is definitely worth a try. The people working there were extremely friendly! We were there later in the evening and they started cleaning and vacuuming while we were still eating which I found a little rude. I prefer other Chinese restaurants over this Chinese buffet so will most likely not be back.

This is a typical chinese restaurant in America. Nothing too special but you will find TONS of options here. Not too bad of a restaurant and not too good either. Service is good. The only negative thing about it is that at the Sushi buffet, the people who work in that area were not able to tell what inside each sushi, they were not knowledgeable of what they were making, nor were they clear. I had hard time understanding them! so I ended up not having sushi because I didn't know what's inside it. If you like americanized chinese, you might enjoy this.

A server gets your drinks for you and refills. Good at clearing plates, too. Standard buffet items nicely organized. I love the macaroni salad. I also found myself liking the scrambled egg and tomato. Lots of seafood items which is all we ate on a Friday. I mostly got the ones with pasta. Our party of 8 really enjoyed themselves. It's our priest's favorite place to treat friends.

We went to Super Moon buffet in on Wayzata Blvd. I have been there a number of time. The last time, my wife became ill after eating there. She knew my experience had ben different and wanted to please me, so took me there. The food, including chicken, noodles and other dishes was cold. We believe the shrimp dishes were either damaged or diseased. Once home my wife became seriously ill and vomited. I became ill, and am spending most of my time in bathroom, even hours after we were at lunch at Super Moon. I would recommend that no one go there, until theirhealth issues are resolved.
